Basketball in conference will be improved with return of Snyder, players
By Bill Mayer Last summer, zealots for 11 of the Big 12 basketball programs were inclined to feel a little sick to their stomachs when Kansas coach Roy Williams declared “I’m stayin.’” Their hope was that Mother North Carolina’s siren song would be too sultry to ignore and KU would become easier pickings.

Orlando drafts KU’s Johnson
By Andrew Hartsock The first couple of rounds of Friday’s WNBA draft were televised live on ESPN2, but Kansas University’s Jaclyn Johnson was nowhere near the tube. “I had to work out,” Johnson said after learning she had been tapped in the third round of the WNBA draft 42nd overall by the Orlando Miracle. “I can’t be stopping what I do to watch TV.”
