Lions check out Kansas State prospect pro day

Lions check out Kansas State prospect pro day and which players Detroit might consider in the 2020 NFL Draft

The pro day circuit for college programs spotlighting their prospective NFL talents is kicking off in earnest over the next few days. One of the first big programs to host a pro day is Kansas State.

The Detroit Lions are confirmed in attendance in Manhattan. Kansas State doesn’t have any high-level prospects in 2020; no Wildcat players were invited to the recent scouting combine. However, the Wildcat program consistently churns out NFL talent and has a few later-round players and likely undrafted free agents who could interest Detroit.

How To Watch, Listen and Stream Women’s Basketball Against Oklahoma

After getting back on track with a win against TCU, UT now turns its attention to OU. Here is how you can watch, listen, and stream the game.

After getting back on track with a win against TCU, Texas now turns its attention to arch-rival Oklahoma. Already picking up a win against the Sooners in Norman earlier this season 70-53, the Longhorns now look to replicate the win in Austin.

Not projected in ESPN’s latest bracketology, Texas still has some work to do. While a win against a 12-15 Oklahoma squad may not do much to help them, it is certainly a cannot lose game.

Looking for huge games from Celeste Taylor, Charli Collier, and Joyner Holmes again, the Longhorns will be taking the home court for the second to final time this season. Here is how you can watch, listen, and stream Texas women’s basketball against Oklahoma:

The Bears are ranked second in the USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball coaches poll, ending a five-week run in the top spot.

Kansas State Baylor: Three things you need to know

1. Baylor will be hungry and super focused after dropping Saturday’s 64-61 thriller at home as the then-No. 1 team in the country to the then-No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks. Baylor, which had its school-record, 23-game win streak snapped, trail Kansas (25-3, 14-1) by a half game in the Big 12 standings – the Jayhawks are now ranked No. 1.

2. Kansas State, last in the Big 12, enters on a seven-game skid, and has won only three games since Jan. 1, going 3-13. The Wildcats lost 70-59 at home to the Texas Longhorns Saturday.

3. Baylor took the first regular-season matchup 73-67 Feb. 3, led by G Jared Butler’s 20 points, however, the Bears didn’t cover as a 7-point favorite – the game finished Over the projected total of 123.5 points. Wildcats F Xavier Sneed tied a career-high with 23 points in the loss, which snapped KSU’s five-game winning streak in the series.

Prediction

Baylor 79, Kansas State 57

Moneyline (ML)

NO WAY. Baylor (-1429) is such a big favorite, one must wager $14.29 just to win $1. No, thank you on those odds. KSU (+775) offers a 7.75-to-1 payoff, but as tennis legend John McEnroe once said, “You can’t be serious.” Let’s get serious and focus on the spread and Over/Under.

Against the Spread (ATS)

BAYLOR -14 (-106) is the STRONGEST PLAY. This could get ugly. Until Baylor beat KSU earlier this month, the Bears had lost six in a row in the series. The disappointment of those last three years vs. the Wildcats and the need to prove something after Saturday’s loss to the Jayhawks will motivate the Bears to play one of their best games of the season. An early blowout wouldn’t surprise me.

Over/Under (O/U)

I planned on betting the Under, but the number came in lower than I had hoped – at 120.5 (Under -110, Over -110). The Bears feature the third-best defense in the country, allowing just 58.4 points per game. The defense should make things extremely difficult for the Wildcats, who had 17 turnovers in the Texas loss and rank eighth in the Big 12 with 385 overall. The fear is Baylor could score too many points, so the O/U suggestion is to AVOID.

How To Watch, Listen and Stream Texas Against West Virginia

UT has a chance against WVU to make its way back into the NCAA Tournament picture. Here is how you can watch, listen, and stream the game.

Gaining momentum with two wins in a row, the Longhorns have beaten TCU and Kansas State to bring life back into their season. Now, they have a big chance at home against West Virginia to possibly make their way back into the NCAA Tournament picture.

In need of some quality wins, the Mountaineers present that opportunity for the Longhorns. Currently ranked 15th in the NET rankings, if Shaka Smart’s club can pull out the win, it would easily be the best win of the season.

2-3 in their last five home games, Texas has failed to beat big-time opponents at home. All three losses have come to ranked teams, while the two wins are against unranked teams. Suffering an embarrassing loss on the trip to Morgantown, Texas will be looking for revenge.

Here is how you watch, listen, and stream Texas’ big game against West Virginia:

Texas Goes On the Road and Defeats Kansas State

After a four-game losing streak, Texas has won back to back games. The Longhorns took care of business against Kansas State and won 70-59.

After a four-game losing streak, Texas has won back to back games for the first time since defeating Iowa State on Feb. 1. The Longhorns went into Saturday’s game in must-win mode and took care of business against Kansas State, 70-59.

Playing the best game of his career was sophomore guard Courtney Ramey. Scoring a career-high 26 points, Ramey led Texas in scoring on 10-6 shotting from the field. The other offensive spark was Andrew Jones, sinking three out of his five attempted three-pointers.

Kansas State struggled all afternoon, having 17 turnovers and only 20 made shots. Forward Makol Mawien was the main offensive threat for the Wildcats, scoring 14 points while adding 10 rebounds. Nobody was able to get going for Bruce Weber’s squad as they shot 33%.

The play of the game for Texas came from freshman Will Baker. After his outstanding game on Wednesday against TCU, he was looking to make another splash. He did just that, producing a monster slam dunk early in the second half.

You can watch it here:

After Kansas State swept the season series in 2017 and 2018, the Longhorns have now won three out of their last four against the Wildcats. Winning both matchups this season, it is the first time since 2016 that Texas sweeps the season series against Kansas State.

Thanks to the scoring of Ramey and Jones, Texas improves to 16-11 overall and 6-8 in the Big 12. The Longhorns somehow find their way back on the edge of the bubble, needing wins in their next two games at home against West Virginia and on the road to Texas Tech to have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament.

The Longhorns have another quick turnaround as they will host the Mountaineers on Monday night. You can catch the game at 6 p.m. on ESPNU.

Cold Shooting, Turnovers result in 60-54 loss for the Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team got off to a hot start but cold shooting down the stretch lead to 60-54 loss.

Texas struggled to close out the game against the Kansas State Wildcats when it looked like the Longhorns might pull it off. The Wildcats were led by  Ayoka Lee who recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. She added three blocks as well. Peyton Williams struggled shooting but was huge on the boards with 13 rebounds and three steals. The KSU 8-0 run to close out the game helped them knock off Texas 60-54.

The Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team got off to a hot start in the first quarter against the Kansas State Wildcats. Of their 19 first quarter points, sophomore forward Charli Collier led the way with 11 in the opening frame. Fifth-year senior Lashann Higgs came off the bench with four points to keep the game tied as the first came to a close.

In the second quarter, the Wildcats tried to take control of the game. After a field goal by Sug Sutton with 8:07 left in the second quarter, the Longhorns went on a four-plus minute scoring drought. Kansas State would take advantage. It wouldn’t be until Joanne Allen-Taylor got out in transition for a layup with 3:35 left where Texas would score. Collier would only score once in the second on a second-chance after a rebound to cut the KSU lead to two, 31-29. Neither team would score over the final 2:17 of the second quarter.

First Half Leaders (Texas)

  • Charli Collier 13 points, three rebounds, one steal
  • Joyner Holmes six points, four rebounds

Texas shot just one for nine from behind the arc and 35.1% from the field.

The Longhorns came out firing in the third quarter with a quick 6-0 run to take a four point lead. Jada Underwood got it started with a quick steal and found Sutton to tie it up. Sutton and Celeste Taylor added four more before the Wildcats would answer. A 18-14 quarter gave Texas a two-point lead into the final quarter.

A sloppy fourth quarter for the Longhorns as they had trouble hitting the shot going down the stretch. Holmes gave Texas a two-point lead with 3:57 left in the game but that would be their last make of the game. The turnovers and cold shooting for the Longhorns in the closing minutes doomed their bid to win.

Final Stats

  • Collier- 17 points, six rebounds
  • Holmes- 14 points, eight rebounds
  • Higgs- 11 points, four rebounds, two steals

Notre Dame Great Tom Gatewood Elected to Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame

Tom Gatewood was an All-American at Notre Dame, a Dean’s List worthy student and the first African American to be a captain on the Fighting Irish football team.  The former New York Giant can now also call himself a Cotton Bowl Hall of Famer.

What is the strangest Hall of Fame that you’re aware of?

Maybe it’s the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Perhaps its the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas – which sounds awesome, by the way.

Or it could be the Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting in Phoenix.

Whatever your big interest may be there is probably a hall of fame out there for it somewhere.

Maybe your big interest is the Cotton Bowl.  No, not the stadium but the actual game that’s held each winter in Dallas.  I became aware there is a Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame earlier today.  Later I found out that Notre Dame is understandably well-represented in this specific hall of fame.

I found it out because Notre Dame legend and College Football Hall of Fame (that one is in Atlanta now, FYI) Tom Gatewood has been elected to the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame as a member of the 2020 class.

Gatewood was an All-American at Notre Dame, a Dean’s List worthy student and the first African American to be a captain on the Fighting Irish football team.  The former New York Giant can now also call himself a Cotton Bowl Hall of Famer.

For those unaware of how good of a player Gatewood was at Notre Dame, he was pretty much the best receiver the school had until Derrick Mayes showed up in the mid-ninties.  He totaled 157 receptions in his career for 2283 yards and 19 touchdowns and his 77 receptions in 1970 remained a school record until Jeff Samardzija pulled down 78 catches in 2006.

Gatewood also held the Notre Dame all-time receptions record until 2006 when both Samardzija and Rhema McKnight passed his 157.

Gatewood was on two Notre Dame teams to appear in the Cotton Bowl and played Texas in both – losing the contest to the No.1 Longhorns in the 1970 classic before getting revenge and ending Texas’s 30 game winning streak a year later.  He totaled eight receptions for 155 yards in the two games, scoring a touchdown in each.

Gatewood joins former Kansas State quarterback Jonathan Beasley and head coach Bill Snyder, Arkansas Guard and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Ole Miss running back Dexter McCluster, Texas defensive end Cory Redding and Boston College linebacker (and remarkable jerk) Bill Romanowski as 2020 Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame inductees.

Gatewood joins Joe Theismann, Ara Parseghian, Kris Haines, Joe Montana, Lou Holtz and Bob Golic as Notre Dame representitives in the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame.
