Mississippi beats K-State in Tip-off semifinals

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:15 CST

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico | Denis Clemente raced up court with the basketball, stopped inches short of the three-point line and swished an outside jumper. During his time at Kansas State, making shots like that is what he has done best. Anytime Clemente, a senior guard who is a Puerto Rico native, can use his speed and find open space before opposing defenses get back, he is dangerous.

K-State faces challenge of playing at Nebraska

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:15 CST

Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium remains a place opposing football teams dread. It’s always packed — the Cornhuskers have sold out a record 302 consecutive games — with more than 81,000 rowdy fans, and Nebraska feeds off the crowd for victories.

Pelini-shaped defense has Huskers on verge of title

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:15 CST

LINCOLN, Neb. | Carl Pelini thought Nebraska’s defense looked tired last weekend, and that speaks volumes about the Cornhuskers’ improvement. A weary defense helped Nebraska beat Kansas 31-17.

Kansas State shoots down Boston

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:15 CST

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico | Denis Clemente missed nine shots, and Jacob Pullen made just four. Normally, that’s an awful sign for the Kansas State basketball team. Anytime it doesn’t get good point production out of its two best guards, the Wildcats are beatable. The same could be said for any squad in the country.

TOPEKA | Kansas State University’s new president said he hoped the institution could move on now that a final report on widespread financial irregularities found that no crimes were committed. The report released Thursday also clears head football coach Bill Snyder of any wrongdoing, university president Kirk Schulz said. Nearly $846,000 in previously unexplained athletic expenses found by outside auditors were legitimate expenses, Schulz said.

Playing Nebraska means something to K-State's players again

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:15 CST

Like an important moment in history, Kansas State center Wade Weibert can remember exactly where he was when K-State and Nebraska used to play for division championships yearly. The Big 12 Conference was young back then, and the North division was considered the class of the league. Wildcats vs. Cornhuskers was always a big deal, just as it is in Saturday’s winner-take-all meeting.

The crowd goes nuts every time we do it. It really brings us together.”

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico | It’s not often that Denis Clemente gets to speak with reporters in his native language, so when a Spanish-speaking newspaper reporter from Puerto Rico requested an interview with him last week, he smiled and grabbed his phone.

Tough practice ahead Frank Martin said Tuesday’s practice will be the toughest one of the season. So far, he believes the Wildcats have taken a lackadaisical approach to practices and have been out to have more fun than work. “That’s gonna change or we’ll have different people in uniform when we take the court in Puerto Rico,” Martin said.

Amid K-State football revival, questions swirl about buyout

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:15 CST

MANHATTAN, Kan. | This renaissance of Kansas State football should be the stuff of fairy tales. An unpopular head coach is fired, a legend returns from retirement, and 12 months later the program finds itself reconnecting with a spectacular past. The team lost to Missouri on Saturday, but it could capture the Big 12 North championship for the first time since 2003, a feat few thought possible entering the season.
