No. 3 Nebraska stops K-State women -

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Kelsey Griffin scored 16 of her 24 points in the first nine minutes of the second half to help unbeaten and third-ranked Nebraska overpower Kansas State 63-46 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament today. The ninth-seeded Wildcats (14-18) gave the Cornhuskers (30-0) all they could handle for a half from before Griffin started to take over. Cory Montgomery scored 13 points and Dominique Kelley added 11 for Nebraska, which plays either Texas or Texas A&M in a Saturday semifinal.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Frank Martin doesn't know what to call his Kansas State team's recent two-game swoon. A slump? A hiccup? An end-of-season letdown? He's not much into handing out labels. Neither are his players. They don't need to be.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A quick glimpse into the life of a Kansas Jayhawk, 112 years and 2,000 victories into the program’s narrative: It is halftime of a Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal against Texas Tech, a team you beat by 26 points two months ago, and you are winning by two. Your coach, a tall man in a tan blazer named Bill Self,
enters the spacious locker room at the Sprint Center and lets you have it. He is upset. He is loud. He is tired of you playing tired. “Worst we’ve played all year,” he says.

Wichita State's pitchers worked to ignore the scoreboard last season. They wanted to do their job without worrying about run support. Let's just say it's easier to execute that mental trick this season. "You try not to think too much about whether your team is going to score runs or not," WSU pitcher Tim Kelley said. "You get four or five innings into a tight game, and you just never know when you were going to score. You were putting
pressure on yourself to keep them to nothing."
Last shots don't fall for Maize -

EMPORIA — As they led their postgame handshake lines, it was impossible not to fixate on Maize's Ryan Schultz and Leavenworth's Nino Williams. They went toe-to-toe during Leavenworth's 51-49 win in the Class 6A quarterfinals at White Auditorium, and one last look at the two couldn't be taken for granted. It was fitting that they embraced in a quick hug, since the two forwards
— one ticketed for Division I basketball, the other likely to play at a junior college — expended so much energy that the only ending that made sense was a show of admiration. "We'd been going at it all game, so it was a respect thing," Schultz said. "I told him good luck with going to prep school next year and then to Kansas State. I told him to represent for the kids from Kansas."

 Baseball in
Wichita
The art of baseball is evident at Wichita State
University’s Eck Stadium. The bronze sculpture, “Put Me in
Coach,” overlooks the stadium entry. Behind it a 70-foot mural, the
longest of its kind at any university ballpark, depicts WSU’s storied
baseball history. The art of baseball has also been evident on Wichita’s
playing fields for well over a century. During and after the Civil War,
baseball quickly spread across the nation. When Wichita was incorporated in
1870, the town and the game were ready for each other, and Wichita had its
first professional nine the following decade. Baseball in Wichita tells the
story of local baseball at all levels—amateur, collegiate and pro—in
words and images dating from the 19th century to the present day.
