In the days after Kansas State basketball coach Jerome Tang held a contentious press conference following the Wildcats’ 34-point home loss to Iowa State, the coach had a different tone after his team’s latest loss.

Kansas State lost 84-82 at TCU on Saturday, Feb. 7, blowing a 10-point lead with 5:26 remaining in the game and allowing the Horned Frogs to score the game’s final seven points. The Wildcats led by as many as 18 in the first half and led for all but the final seven seconds of the game.

The loss was K-State’s fourth in a row, dropping them to 1-9 in Big 12 play and 10-13 overall.

Rather than the, at times, combative tone Tang had after the Wildcats’ loss on Feb. 1, the program’s largest defeat under his leadership, the coach accepted more accountability, saying that he and his staff didn’t give his players enough in order to hold on to victory.

“I’m hurting for them, but I’m frustrated because there are things I feel like I can do better, and I’m going to have to figure that out,” Tang said. “It’s just a process, man. This is not how we intended, but this is where we’re at. Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% how you respond. We’re going to respond the right way.”

Kansas State entered the game dealing with flu-like illnesses throughout the roster, including standout point guard PJ Haggerty, who didn’t start warming up until minutes before. Dorin Buca was added to the team’s availability report late due to illness, but he was able to go. Khamari McGriff, who missed the Wildcats’ previous four games, also dealt with sickness, but made his first appearance since the Wildcats’ Jan. 17 loss at Oklahoma State.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Kansas lawmakers introduced two bills aimed at decriminalizing marijuana. While previous attempts have failed, the legislation this year has some major differences.

These are two separate bills. One that decriminalizes marijuana for recreational use. The other legalizes marijuana for medical purposes. But both include provisions that would return 40 percent of the revenue to the people of Kansas.

The bills are sponsored by 19 Democrats from the Kansas House, including Representative Ford Carr from Wichita. Carr said both bills would establish the cannabis industry, which is estimated to give the state between $750 million and $1 billion in revenue each year.

This isn’t any different from previous legislation. What is different is that 40 percent of that revenue would be returned to Kansans. Representative Carr says that this money would be used to address various concerns, such as childcare, homelessness and property taxes.

“Those carve outs are set in stone, that’s where these funds will go, they will go back to the people,” said Carr. “It’s the residents that need the help, right? The state has been able to maintain itself.“

Senate President Ty Masterson has previously stated marijuana will not be decriminalized as long as he is in power. Therefore, the bills face an uphill battle, but Carr believes the changes will help to gain support from other Republican lawmakers.
