UT survives scare
Cowboys take 'Horns to wire again
D.J. Augustin wiped out Oklahoma State’s halftime lead with a single shot. A few minutes later the quick and crafty point guard had obliterated all of the Cowboys’ hard-earned momentum and put No. 6 Texas on the road to a 66-59 victory Friday in the Big 12 tournament.
Arthur nonfactor
Sophomore takes just four shots
Darrell Arthur’s a man. He’s (almost) 20. That’s why 22-year-old Kansas University junior guard Brandon Rush won’t get after the sophomore forward following Arthur’s six-point performance on just 1-of-4 shooting in a 64-54 escape from Nebraska’s first-half grasp in the first round of the Big 12 tournament on Friday at Sprint Center.
Dagunduro sharp early, but Huskers ‘wore down’
Nebraska guard Ade Dagunduro floated through the air and finished a wicked one-handed putback with 37 seconds left Friday.
KU basketball notebook
Kansas University and Texas A&M will meet today for the second time in eight days. The Jayhawks stopped the Aggies, 72-55, a week ago today in College Station, Texas.
Keegan: Keegan: Big 12 merely so-so

Red scare
KU forced to rally past Cornhuskers
Maybe it’s because Kansas University’s basketball players had pummeled Nebraska by 35 points at home and 21 on the road this season and expected to pound NU again without breaking a sweat.
Weary Aggies to face KU in semis
With roughly 16 hours between games, Texas A&M men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon won’t have a whole lot to say to his team about Kansas University.
Extra Minutes: Kansas 64, Nebraska 54
Tying up loose ends from the Jayhawks’ ugly 64-54 win over Nebraska in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament Friday. None of the top seeds who had Thursday byes looked particularly solid, and KU’s rough offensive showing had plenty to do with Nebraska’s scrappy defense and the Jayhawks not getting Darrell Arthur going early on (or the rest of the night).

If there was one team Doc Sadler and the Nebraska Cornhuskers would have liked to avoid, it would have been Kansas. Kevin Romary has more from the Sprint Center.

New KC attractions lure fans
Power & Light District creates festive atmosphere
It’s about time. This precisely is what a vibrant downtown begins to look like. The first day of the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament was being played next door at the Sprint Center, and basketball fans not inside were enjoying the mild weather Thursday and hanging out in the new Power & Light District just west of the arena.
Buffs put BU on bubble
A&M, OSU advance
Baylor was hoping for at least one more victory, a little padding to make sure of its first NCAA Tournament berth in 20 years. Colorado put a big dent in those plans, likely giving the Bears some anxious moments when the NCAA field is announced on Sunday.
