Williams laments after Kansas clinches Big 12 title
Nick Collison scored 24 points and grabbed a Big 12 record 23 rebounds as Kansas finished one game ahead of Texas and two in front of Oklahoma to win their second straight conference crown. Williams questioned the seeding chaos after Kansas earned a No. 2 seed behind Texas, amid a brutal West Regional, and recalled Arizona’s 91-74 comeback over Kansas that season.

Kansas State faces slow rebuild under Wooldridge
Kansas State, three seasons into Jim Wooldridge’s tenure, shows a 37-51 run as AD Tim Weiser backs keeping the coach. Incoming players, including Jeremiah Massey, Dez Willingham, Cartier Martin, Lance Harris, and a packed freshman class, could boost a young squad despite a 13-17 finish. The late-season collapses, notably Pasco’s late miscue against Colorado, loom over a promising but uncertain turnaround.
