Stats of the day

1. Iowa State lost at home by one to Kansas State today after failing to hold on to a five point lead with less than a minute to play. ISU runs out of gas late in games given their short bench--of their recent eight losses, two occurred in overtime, two were one point losses, and one was a five point defeat.

3. Washington has lost three straight and the preseason pick to win the Pac-10 is now in third place, trailing Arizona and UCLA.

19. Brady Morningstar led all Kansas scorers today with a career high 19 points against Nebraska. That's the same number of points his father, Roger, had on this date in 1975 when the Jayhawks beat--yep--Nebraska.

23. Colorado suffered 23 turnovers against Missouri's relentless defense tonight. Alec Burks finished with 21 points for CU but was forced into 5 of 15 shooting. Mizzou beat Colorado, 89-73.

27. Perry Jones is truly becoming a star for Baylor. The freshman finished with 27 points in the Bears' overtime win at Texas A&M.

71%. Kansas swept the regular season series against Nebraska--again--and now owns a 170-71 all-time record against the Huskers, who join the Big Ten next season. That equates to an overall winning percentage of 71%. Since the formation of the Big 12, the Kansas dominance has been even more pronounced--31-3 in conference action and 26 wins in 27 games since 1999.

78%. Nebraska football owns a 91-23-3 overall (78%) record against Kansas. Is there a long-time conference series which has been so lopsided between two schools in these two sports?

2,194. Jimmer Fredette became the Mountain West's all-time leading scorer today. The BYU star now has 2,194 total points.
