Wisconsin transfer guard A.J. Storr saw increased playing time in No. 7 Kansas’ loss to No. 2 Iowa State on Wednesday.

The former Badger saw 10 minutes of action in the 74-57 defeat and totaled five points, two rebounds, two assists and a block on two-of-six shooting and zero-of-two from three.

 Takeaways from Wisconsin basketball’s narrow win over Ohio State

The performance is a step forward for Storr, whose role had dwindled significantly over the last several weeks. Head coach Bill Self called him out publicly after a Dec. 31 loss to West Virginia, which preceded the star transfer playing just four minutes in the Jayhawks’ 19-point win over Arizona State on Jan. 8.

Those minute totals are back in double digits, first in a Jan. 11 win over Cincinnati and now against the Cyclones. He played well in the 10 minutes of action, even igniting a mini-run to cut Kansas’ deficit from 11 to five late in the second half. In succession, Storr blocked a layup attempt, grabbed the defensive rebound, then assisted a layup on the other end. One minute later, he missed a three-pointer that would have brought Kansas to within three points.

Storr stayed on the court for the last seven minutes of the game as Kansas dealt with foul trouble to its big men. In the end, his contributions weren’t enough to keep pace with an Iowa State team that seems poised for a deep run in March.

The former Badger’s performance, while a step in the right direction, did not help his season-long averages. Those totals currently sit at 17.7 minutes, 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 39.8% shooting and 29.7% from three. They are all lower than his production as a freshman at St. John’s, plus far from his outputs from a stellar 2023-24 campaign with the Badgers.

Storr and the Jayhawks are back on the court on Jan. 18 against Kansas State. He’ll look to carry momentum from this performance, continuing to battle for a consistent role in Kansas’ deep lineup.

Sixteen firearms were intercepted by Transportation Security Administration officers at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport security checkpoints in 2024, the agency said in statement Wednesday.

That’s the third straight year the number of guns caught at MKE, Wisconsin’s largest airport, has dropped.

“Bringing a firearm to the checkpoint is a careless, dangerous mistake that can be easily avoided,” Wisconsin TSA Federal Security Director Mark Lendvay said in the statement. “When individuals bring firearms to our checkpoints, they are introducing a risk to everyone in the area.

“These incidents also slow down the checkpoint screening process for other travelers because when a firearm is detected, all activity in the lane comes to a complete halt until police arrive. Unloaded firearms can be packed with checked baggage and declared to the airline.”

In 2023, 19 handguns were found at MKE security checkpoints, and 21 were seized in 2022. Twenty three firearms were caught at MKE security checkpoints in 2021.

How many people did TSA screen at Wisconsin airports in 2024?

At MKE, TSA screened nearly 3.6 million departing passengers and flight crews in 2024. Officers there discovered firearms in carry-on luggage at a rate of 4.5 firearms per million passengers screened.

This calculates to a rate of one firearm discovery for every 222,413 travelers screened.

TSA officers stopped a total of 29 firearms at Wisconsin’s commercial airports in 2024, which is down from the year before when 36 were intercepted, TSA data shows.

The other Wisconsin airport numbers were six firearms at Dane County Regional, three at Appleton International and Central Wisconsin Airport, and one at Green Bay Austin Strabel International.

Nationally, the TSA screened more than 904 million passengers in 2024, and prevented more than 6,600 firearms from getting onto flights, down from 6,737 in 2023, the agency said in its statement.

The vast majority of the weapons caught last year – 94% of them – were loaded.

What happens when someone is caught with a gun at an airport?

Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality. But, in short: violators are subject to law enforcement action.

TSA fines passengers who bring a firearm to a TSA checkpoint also can face a civil penalty up to about $15,000, and can lose their TSA PreCheck eligibility for at least five years.

Here’s how you can fly with your gun

Passengers are permitted to travel with firearms in checked baggage if they are unloaded and packed separately from ammunition in a locked hardback case. Guns need to be declared at the airline check-in counter.

Travelers should check for firearm laws in the jurisdictions they are flying to and from.

TSA posts details on how to properly travel with a firearm on its website. Travelers should also contact their air carrier for any additional requirements for flying with firearms and ammunition.
