The final score says about as much as you need to know about the K-State men’s basketball opener against the Missouri Tigers in Columbia Friday night. The Wildcats appear to be a team that can score.

Good morning, BBN! Wow, what a night for the Kentucky men’s basketball team. It doesn’t matter that it was an exhibition; it sure didn’t feel like one.

Keba Keita blocked a shot in the final seconds and BYU beat North Carolina 78-76 Friday night in Salt Lake City.
