Kansas State Stops UMBC, Advances to NCAA's Sweet 16

Kansas State put an end to the “Cinderella” story of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The Wildcats eliminated UMBC with a 50-43 win Sunday.
Monday, March 19th, 2018, by Greg Echlin

Two days after UMBC pulled off the biggest upset in NCAA tournament history, the Kansas State Wildcats beat UMBC to join the Kansas Jayhawks as one of the teams competing in this year’s “Sweet 16”. Greg Echlin has the story.

The Kansas State women's basketball team has also advanced to the Sweet 16 of the WNIT (Women's National Invitational Tournament).  The Wildcats defeated Utah 74-57 in Manhattan yesterday (SUN) in the second round of the tournament. K-State will host UC Davis at 7 o'clock Friday night.

    Ready to jump into the next book in the KPR Presents Book Club series? Join us in reading Sitting Pretty: The View from my Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body by Rebekah Taussig. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story. 

    You can register for the event HERE. The event will take place on July 29, via Zoom and will feature a discussion with Taussig and our very own Kaye McIntyre. When you sign up, you should receive an email with the Zoom link for the event. If you don't see the email in your inbox, check your spam folder, or email Christy Imel at christyimel@ku.edu.

    You can buy the book online at Raven Book Store or check it out at your local public library.

    Join the discussion ahead of time by joining the KPR Presents Book Club Facebook page. Meet fellow readers and enjoy discussing new novels together.
