Start time changed for KU women’s Big 12 opener on Thursday

Big 12 Conference officials have shifted the starting time for Thursday’s first-round game between Kansas and Nebraska in the Big 12 Conference women’s basketball tournament in Oklahoma City.

The KU-NU game was scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at Cox Convention Center, but was moved to 1:30 p.m. to avoid conflict with the KU men who will be playing at 11:30 a.m. next door in the Ford Center.

In order to accommodate the change, the women’s game between No. 5 seed Kansas State and No. 12 seed Colorado was switched from 1:30 p.m. to 11 a.m.
