TCU Men’s Basketball: A Second Half Surge by Kansas Plagues the Frogs
Guided by a strong second half, the No. 12 Kansas Jayhawks took down TCU 74-61. The Frogs led by as many as 14 in the first half.
TCU got off to a blazing start and took it right to the Jayhawks. They jumped out to a 16-6 lead and got the Frog faithful behind them and roaring. After back-to-back buckets from Trazarian White and Noah Reynolds, the lead stretched to 24-10 at the midway point of the first half.
All momentum was on TCU’s side but Kansas seemed to find some answers through Hunter Dickinson. Both he and Flory Bidunga helped storm a furious comeback and cut the deficit to two at halftime.
TCU switched to a zone defense in the second half and Kansas took it apart. They shot 60.7% from the field and made five of their last six shots. TCU led for a brief moment in the second half after an alley-oop to White from Reynolds. Despite every effort to comeback, Kansas had a response. Dickinson finished with 16 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. Bidunga recorded a double double with four blocks and they got timely baskets from Zeke Mayo.
Reynolds led the way for TCU with 14 points on 6/14 shooting and former Jayhawk Ernest Udeh Jr. finished with seven points, eight rebounds and five steals. Bill Self said about Udeh, “We all loved Ernest. He’s obviously in a good spot here. I think he’s the type of player and young man that programs can have great success with.”
It was a valiant effort from the Frogs who ultimately came up just short. The announced attendance was a little over 6,000 which is the highest this season. TCU drops to 10-8 overall and 3-4 in conference play.
The Frogs will be back in action this Saturday in Orlando when they take on the UCF Knights at 3:00 on ESPN+.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State will have a new kick returner come fall after Bryce Noernberg departed the team, and his dad used some colorful language in a Facebook post to announce it.
A K-State spokesperson confirmed that Noernberg left the team after the spring season. He returned 20 kicks over the last two seasons for an average of 27.8 yards per return. He scored one touchdown and also coughed up the ball multiple times.
In a Facebook post, Noernberg’s father, Scott, wrote that it had been an amazing few years in Manhattan, but then “Division I college football does what it does.”
“New head coach Colin (sic) Klein brought in all new coaches and players… paid them accordingly and (Noernberg) found himself at the bottom of the depth chart,” Scott Noernberg wrote. “Not wanting to start over again as a true walk-on freshman, he basically told them to kiss his ass!!
“Well done Bryce! I’m so proud that you stood up to the system! D1 athletics is in a very sad state, and it’s times like this that make you grow as a man!”
Also a wide receiver, Noernberg saw one offensive snap over his two seasons with the program. He was unlikely to find an offensive role for the Wildcats this year, considering the return of Jaron Tibbs and the additions of Josh Manning, Izaiah Williams, and Derrick Salley Jr. Other returning players, like Adonis Moise and Larry Porter IV, were also considered ahead of him.
His departure does leave a void at kick returner, which Noernberg wasn’t guaranteed to keep heading into the year.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — An interchange in Wichita is the most stressful off-ramp in Kansas, according to the results of a new poll.
The poll, by personal injury law firm Regan Zambri Long, asked 3,011 drivers across the United States what off-ramps are the most stressful.
Based on their results, Interstate 135 Exit 5B to Kellogg Avenue took the top spot in Kansas.
The poll said traffic often slows down at this interchange because it is where two major routes meet. Exiting vehicles have to merge and prepare for nearby exits on Kellogg, making speeds fluctuate.
Second place was Interstate 70 Exit 356 to Wanamaker Road in Topeka, and the third-most stressful off-ramp is Interstate 35 Exit 220 to 119th Street in Overland Park.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Jalisco Restaurant has been a staple in the Kansas City, Kansas, community since 1965. But after 61 years, the restaurant is closing its doors.

Erika Dominguez, an employee at Jalisco’s, told FOX4 that one of their cooks, who has been there for more than 40 years, is retiring. One of the other cooks is 90, and has been with the family since the beginning.
“The family is getting older, and it is time,” she added.
“Our wall tells the story of generations of families and Jalisco’s little angels, babies who grew up coming through our doors,” Dominguez said in a social media post earlier this year.
The Hernandez family also owned another Jalisco’s Restaurant location in KCK’s Argentine neighborhood for 48 years. That location closed in 2012. They also owned a location in Mission, Kansas, years ago.

Dominguez said the building at North 50th Street and State Avenue is for sale, and there’s also been talk about the family leasing it – but nothing is in the works at this time.
