Back to EpisodesMaking sense of KU’s response to NCAA, and Roos women make history
Description
Kansas issued its response to the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations issued in September and it was forceful. No spirit of cooperation here. KU will fight each of the five Level I allegations against the men’s basketball program, including head coach Bill Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend. KU beat writer Jesse Newell helps us make sense of the Kansas response on SportsBeat KC.
Also, the KC Roos women’s basketball program made history on Thursday. The team headed by third-year coach Jacie Hoyt won on Thursday night to clinch the outright Western Athletic Conference championship. It’s first league title for either basketball program since joining a conference in 1994. We hear from Hoyt and players Awal Ajak and Ericka Mattingly.
