SportsBeat KC: With KU, K-State, will rivalry pick up where it left off?
The nation’s top-ranked team returns to action Saturday when Kansas visits Kansas State in the 293rd Sunflower Showdown in men’s basketball.
Although KU is tied for first in the Big 12 and the Wildcats are buried in last place, emotions typically run high for this game, evidenced by the brawl that punctuated their meeting last month in Lawrence. KU beat writers Jesse Newell and Gary Bedore talk about the contest and other topics with host Blair Kerkhoff on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.
