Kansas State suffered through a cold shooting performance and a hot perimeter effort from TCU on 
Saturday as the Horned Frogs defeated the Wildcats 67-47 in Fort Worth.
K-State ( 16-12, 6-11 Big 12 ) shot just 30% from the field while TCU hit their shots at a 54% rate.
The Wildcats hosts West Virginia Tuesday night at Bramlage Coliseum.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Kansas forward Cliff Alexander was held out of Saturday’s win over Texas 
after questions were raised about the five-star freshman’s eligibility.
The school announced its decision less than 2 hours before tipoff. KU won the game 69-64.
Alexander has started the last five games for the eighth-ranked Jayhawks (22-6, 11-4), who are closing in on their 11th straight Big 12 title. He is averaging 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds while giving Kansas much-needed muscle in the paint.
Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger said that the NCAA alerted the school to a potential issue with Alexander, and “as a precautionary measure, Cliff will not take the court until we have resolved this issue.”
The Jayhawks play Number 20 West Virginia Tuesday night. They wrap up the regular season at Number 16 Oklahoma next weekend.
The Junction City Blue Jays scored 102.5 points to finish fifth in the Class 6A State Wrestling 
Tournament Saturday in Park City.
For Junction City Jeryl Denton at 152 pounds and Jake Bazan at 145 pounds both finished second in their weight classes.
Aryus Jones captured third place at 160 pounds, Downey Wood fourth at 138, Gabe Padilla fifth at 126, and J’Quan Robinson sixth at 182 pounds.
Garden City won the 6A team championship with 183 points, followed by Olathe North with 174.5, Dodge City 136, Derby 121, and Junction City with 102.5 points. Manhattan was sixth with 100 points.
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) – Wesley Iwundu capped a 22-9 scoring run with a two-handed slam that 
gave Kansas State a 70-69 win over No. 12 Iowa State on Saturday and back-to-back Top 25 wins.
Kansas State (15-15, 8-9 Big 12) tied the game at 66 apiece with a tip-in by Justin Edwards with 59.4 seconds left.
After Iwundu gave Kansas State a 68-66 lead, Monte Morris had a 3-point play to give the Cyclones a one-point advantage.
A bad pass from Georges Niang on a later inbounds pass gave Iwundu the opportunity at redemption for a missed free throw with a two-handed slam.
The Wildcats held Iowa State (20-8, 10-6) to 38 percent shooting in the second half, which followed 8-of-15 shooting from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Perry Ellis had 28 points and 13 rebounds in a brilliant performance, and 
eighth-ranked Kansas held on through a tense final minute to beat Texas 69-64 on Saturday night.
Kelly Oubre Jr. added 15 points and Frank Mason III had 12 for the Jayhawks (23-6, 12-4), who remained a game clear of second-place Oklahoma with two games left in the Big 12 race.
Trying to bolster its NCAA resume, Texas (17-12, 6-10) had its chances down the stretch.
Isaiah Taylor missed the front end of a one-and-one with the Longhorns trailing 66-64 and 48.3 seconds left. Then, the talented sophomore guard missed a spinning, off-balanced floater that would have tied the game with 6.1 seconds remaining.
Oubre calmly made two foul shots at the other end of the floor to put the game away.
K-State Announces Future Non-Conference Football Matchups
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Highlighted by home-and-home series with Mississippi State and 
Vanderbilt of the Southeastern Conference, Kansas State announced today its future non-conference football games that have been finalized through the 2020 football season.
The full 2015 schedule, which was released this past fall, includes non-conference home games against South Dakota and Louisiana Tech and a trip back to San Antonio’s Alamodome to play UTSA.
“Working closely with Coach Snyder and Chief of Staff Clint Dowdle, we set out to achieve several primary goals in scheduling, including having as many early-season home games as possible and at least 11 FBS opponents on the schedule each season,” said Athletics Director John Currie. “We also want to attempt to include an open date during the regular season and continue to create opportunities to further our program and University on a national level while putting us in a solid position in regards to the new College Football Playoff system.”
Two of the three non-conference games for 2016 have been finalized as the Wildcats are slated to play Missouri State and Conference USA member Florida Atlantic at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
With four conference home games on the slate for 2016, K-State is in search of one final home non-conference opponent so that it will meet its preferred seven games in Manhattan, Currie said.
The 2017 season will begin a home-and-home series against Vanderbilt as the K-State Nation will head to Nashville, while the Commodores will make a return trip to Manhattan in 2020. Other 2017 matchups include Central Arkansas and Charlotte, which in 2015 will officially join Conference USA as an FBS member and is coached by K-State graduate and former All-Big Eight defensive back Brad Lambert.
For the 2018, 2019 and 2020 seasons, K-State currently has two of three non-conference matchups finalized as it will welcome Mississippi State of the SEC to Manhattan in 2018 in addition to UTSA. The Wildcats will head to Starkville for the return game against Mississippi State in 2019 while also welcoming annual MAC contender Bowling Green to Manhattan. The 2020 slate currently features Vanderbilt’s return trip to Manhattan in addition to a visit from Buffalo of the MAC.
K-State, coming off a nine-win season in 2014, will begin spring practice April 1, and season tickets for an exciting seven-game 2015 home schedule will go on sale Monday.

Players and coaches who enjoyed a special time in Junction City Lady Jay basketball returned
to their school Friday evening.
The occasion was a 20-year reunion for the 1994-95 team that went 23-2, but the event also attracted other former players and people who followed the basketball program.
Head Coach Melissa Sharp noted some of those in attendance ranged from Leza Narducci and Adrian Wiley to Gretchen Schmoeckel , Dee Ivory, Kristin and Amber Crites. Stephanie Kimbrel and Sara Munson were among the numerous former players who first met in the school cafeteria and then watched the current Lady Jay basketball team defeat Topeka West 58-53.
One player who traveled from Houston, Texas for the reunion, was the starting point guard on the 1994-95 team Leza Narducci. Sharp said it was emotional. “I haven’t seen Liza is quite a long time.” Sharp added, “She’s more than eager to come back and show her boys where she went to school and the success she had on the court, and hopes that it transfers to her own family.”
Her feeling on walking in the door to the reunion? “Happiness, glad to be back home.” Narducci was born and raised in Junction City.
She remembered her role as a coach on the floor.”Just keeping the team focused, motivated, and thinking and knowing that we could win every time we got out there.”
Members of the 1994-95 Junction City Lady Jay basketball team that went 23-2 and finished third in the Class 6A State Tournament gathered at the senior high Friday night for a 20-year reunion.
They were joined by other former Lady Jay players and supporters.
