SportsBeat KC: Making sense of KU’s response to NCAA, and Roos women make history
Kansas issued its response to the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations issued in September, and it was forceful. No spirit of cooperation here. KU will fight each of the five Level I allegations against its men’s basketball program, including head coach Bill Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend. KU beat writer Jesse Newell helps us make sense of the Kansas response on this episode of the SportsBeat KC podcast.
Also, the KC Roos women’s basketball program made history Thursday night. The team headed by third-year coach Jacie Hoyt won to clinch the outright Western Athletic Conference championship. It’s first league title for either Roos basketball program since joining a conference in 1994. We hear from Hoyt and players Awal Ajak and Ericka Mattingly.
