The Flint Water Crisis is an American tragedy that ties in one very important member of the Iowa State basketball team. Monte Morris, a Flint native, cannot be with his family in one of the city’s darkest hours but help is indeed on the way. His school announced on Wednesday that Des Moines-based grocer Hy-Vee will send 11 semi-trailers (Monte’s jersey number) worth of water gallons and bottled water to Flint. Those trucks left Des Moines yesterday and will hopefully make it to Flint a bit later today to provide some much-needed relief. In not-so-life-threatening Iowa State-related news, the Cyclones held a players-only meeting [...]]]>

My goodness, how fun is this?

Meet Katie and Christie, two of the cockiest KU fans in the throng. Pretty easy to see why.

Was it raining in Kansas City yesterday?  You’d never know it.  Even with temperatures in the mid-40s and a light drizzle falling, the Power and Light District was still filled with college hoop lovers to the point where you could barely navigate through it.  The Kansas fans are still greatest in number and noise-making ability, but the Kansas State fans have been slowly creeping up to rival the Jayhawk supporters in [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2010/03/13/big-12-tourney-daily-diary-the-semis/feed/ 0 RTC Live: Big 12 Championship – #1 Kansas vs #9 Kansas State http://rushthecourt.net/2010/03/13/rtc-live-big-12-championship-1-kansas-vs-9-kansas-state/ http://rushthecourt.net/2010/03/13/rtc-live-big-12-championship-1-kansas-vs-9-kansas-state/#respond Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:58:49 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=19671

After last night’s win over Baylor, Kansas State’s Jacob Pullen was asked about how special it was to get a third shot at Kansas in Saturday’s Big 12 Tournament championship.  He responded with, “We just want to win the Big 12 Tournament,” conceding later that his team felt like they “lost the regular season title at Kansas,” but claimed that the Wildcats needed no added incentive to get pumped up for a Big 12 title game.  We admire Mr. Pullen’s diplomacy, but this is the game just about everybody wanted — the two best teams in [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2010/03/13/rtc-live-big-12-championship-1-kansas-vs-9-kansas-state/feed/ 0
