    TCU showdown coin toss for K-State


    Oklahoma State coach Gundy
    praises both Big 12 contenders

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Kansas State wide receiver Tyler Lockett, left, finished


    Saturdays game against Oklahoma State with six receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown.

    One major difference


    between the Kansas State
    and Oklahoma State football teams when they met
    last Saturday was the experience level. The Wildcat
    roster is loaded with veteran players and the Cowboys are a young squad.
    That was one factor involved in K-States runaway 48-14 victory.
    This is a very mature

    team, Gundy said of the


    Wildcats on the Big 12 teleconference Monday. Their
    quarterback (Jake Waters)
    has a lot of games under his
    belt. He struggled last year
    and this year he is playing
    with confidence. The majority of their team is veteran players. They are a really good football team.
    In my opinion, on a neutral site, they can very well
    play with anybody in the
    country. They lost to Auburn at home and missed

    three field goals and had


    every opportunity, and
    weve seen what Auburn
    has done throughout the
    year. They are a really good
    football team. They play
    mature and have veteran
    leaders. I was impressed
    with their team.
    The maturity and experience will be important for
    the No. 9 Wildcats (7-1, 5-0
    Big 12) when they face No.
    6 TCU (7-1, 4-1) at 6:30 p.m.
    Saturday in Fort Worth. It
    will be only the third road
    game for the Wildcats,
    who won at Iowa State and
    Oklahoma.

    14 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots in his first game in a KU uniform, an 85-53 rout of WU.

    Freshmen shine in debuts as Jayhawks win first exhibition

    highlight of the night, but
    it was Cliff Alexander who
    started it.
    KUs 6-foot-8 freshman

    Svi Mykhailiuk dove between two Washburn defenders to corral it. A quick

    LAWRENCE The
    hardscrabble trail taken by
    the Washburn basketball
    team in early November
    has its rewards.
    Visits to Kansas, Oklahoma and Kansas State
    within a six-day span help
    fund trips many Division
    II squads never experience
    like the Thanksgiving

    treat the Ichabods will


    enjoy in Hawaii this year.
    At times it doesnt
    seem worth it. Not when
    Washburn was completely
    overmatched in the first
    half, scoring just 13 points
    before eventually falling
    to Kansas, 85-53, in Allen
    Fieldhouse.
    Still, there is more to

    these opportunities for a


    Division II program.
    Getting to play in this
