KU survives in St. Louis

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

St. Louis - St. Louis - Top-ranked Kansas narrowly avoided what could have been a devastating loss at the hands of unranked Memphis on Tuesday night. The Jayhawks found themselves up by two points, 57-55, after Sherron Collins hit one of two free-throws with seconds remaining on the clock. Instead of overtime, the Tigers were poised to shock Kansas, but a three-pointer from transfer Elliot Williams came up short, and Bill Self’s squad avoided an early season loss.

Blazers Gain Commitment from Instate Prospect

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue. All in due time. We’ve heard these sayings and many more like them all our lives. While they are all true nobody likes to wait.

For one prospect and one school the wait is almost over.
