March 13, 2014
Andrew Wiggins has sensed some gloom and doom — outside of Kansas University’s basketball locker room — regarding the Jayhawks’ chances of making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament without injured big man Joel Embiid. The freshman scored 30 points off 9-of-17 shooting to prove KU can win without its starting center. By Gary Bedore

Sometimes, it’s about the other guys, especially when the other guys play a brand of basketball as innovative as Iowa State’s under coach Fred Hoiberg. When the Cyclones hit their shots, they’re tough to beat. When they can’t get them to drop, they seldom have the defensive personnel to walk away winners. By Tom Keegan

Former U.S. Olympian Jeff Galloway has made a career out of running. And to get others into the sport, he encourages them … to walk. Galloway, a member of the 1972 Olympic team in the 10,000 meters, stopped in Lawrence on Friday to promote the launch of RunWalk Lawrence, which uses Galloway’s technique of taking strategic walk breaks while running to reduce injuries and speed up recovery times.

Talk centers on superstars in advance of big games. But sometimes, a stealth bomber sneaks in below the chatter and swings the contest in favor of his team. It could be anybody and it’s impossible to predict. So I ask myself over and over: Why do I think freshman Brannen Greene could be that guy today? Column by Tom Keegan

The basketball rims at Sprint Center looked a little larger than normal to Oklahoma State senior guard Markel Brown Wednesday night, as his 20 points helped the Cowboys dispose of Texas Tech, 80-62, in the first round of the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship. The on-court landscape, Brown hopes, will continue to shift in Oklahoma State’s favor today, when the eighth-seeded Cowboys (21-11) face top-seeded Kansas University (23-8) for the third time this season.
