Kansas guard Wayne Selden Jr. jumped over the entire student population of Baylor University on Friday to throw down a slam that brought the crowd to its feet. MORE: Cinderella players we’ll never forget | Latest scores, results The only thing better than Selden’s dunk was his uncle’s reaction. Seriously, he went insane. How can you not be excited after that? Make sure that man is behind the bench at Kansas games the rest of the year....

Kevin Kietzman of WHB 810 has been suspended indefinitely after he criticized Reid’s handling of the Tyreek Hill situation during a segment Monday. Kietzman then brought up Reid’s son, Garrett, who died of a heroin overdose in 2012. “The thing is, (the Chiefs) probably think (Reid) can fix (Hill), but they thought they could fix him before and they failed,” he said. “Andy Reid does not have a great record of fixing players....

His teammate Dwight Powell was wrapping up a bit of homework. Josh Huestis was grabbing a bite to eat at the hotel. Stephan Nastic wasn’t worried about the end of the game because he knew, as he said, “the better team would win, and they’re both very good teams.” Those are the four primary Stanford players who are going to have to deal with the Kansas big men, a trio that combined for 43 points (on an insane 19-of-25 shooting) and 32 rebounds (13 on the offensive boards) against an outmanned Eastern Kentucky squad that gave everything it had before eventually falling short....

Since then, Self’s Jayhawks have never finished lower than a 1st place tie in the conference. They have won at least a share of the Big 12 conference title in each of the last 13 regular seasons, a total that is tied for the all-time record. They may never finish lower than 1st place under Self again. This all-time consecutive regular season conference championship record is shared by Kansas and the UCLA Bruins, who won 13 straight Pacific-12 conference regular season championships....

France international Kante won the Premier League with Leicester City in his first season in England and then repeated the feat with Chelsea in his second campaign in 2016-17. But the Blues have struggled since, missing out on Champions League qualification last term and then slipping off the pace again this season. Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane’s return to Madrid has seen speculation increase that Kante might be a close-season target, and Juventus have been linked, too....

Drinkwater has yet to play for Chelsea after he was an unused substitute against his former club last weekend before missing the opening Champions League group game against Qarabag due to a calf injury. However, Kante is looking forward to seeing Drinkwater line up for Chelsea soon and thinks that he is a good signing for the Premier League champions. “I am pleased for him to come into Chelsea,” Kante said after the 6-0 win over Qarabag at Stamford Bridge....

Leicester – en route to supplanting Chelsea as Premier League champions – fired the final, fatal arrows at Mourinho’s increasingly paranoid regime in December 2015. Because of that season, Mourinho knows all about what it’s like trying to hoist a sagging team who can’t – or won’t – put in the effort which earlier brought them success. Football world reacts to Superbowl LI Mourinho’s calmer now; he probably relayed to Claudio Ranieri after this game the lessons he learned from the end of his Chelsea days....

Conte scoops Manager of the Year gong The summer signing from champions Leicester City has claimed the award ahead of the likes of Dele Alli, Alexis Sanchez, Danny Rose and Blues team-mate Diego Costa. Kante proved to be one of the stand-out performers in Leicester’s remarkable title triumph in 2015-16 and has been similarly effective since moving to Stamford Bridge. The midfielder has proved an ever-present in manager Antonio Conte’s midfield, making 30 appearances in all competitions and scoring one goal....

West premiered his 10th studio album at a sold-out listening party in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, with a surprise feature from Hova—and fans are emotional and ecstatic. This is the first time the duo have worked together since they appeared on Drake’s “Pop Style” in 2016. In 2011, they released a joint album Watch The Throne and went on tour together. On Donda, Jay-Z’s verse on the final song includes a reference to a West’s support of Donald Trump....

One stand-out part of the event was West sampling a famous Kamala Harris quote on a track....

The double-counted ballots were discovered by a group of voters who are suing Fulton County election officials in the hope of conducting an inspection of some 147,000 absentee ballots. The lawsuit alleges fraud in the county’s presidential election. The duplicated write-in vote for West was a telltale sign that the ballots had been counted twice. The voter who wrote West’s name also appears to have written in actor and former wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for vice president....

Lake said during an interview with Jovan Hutton Pulitzer that she and her legal team were examining options to proceed with the case, which includes taking it to the state Supreme Court or asking for a new trial in which they can present all 10 counts she originally cited in her lawsuit. “[It] could be a remedy to give us a new trial. I would be happy with that. I want people to know what happened … and we’re going to move it all the way to the Supreme Court....

The German goalkeeper took in an eventful debut campaign at Anfield in 2016-17 as he was thrown in at the Premier League deep end shortly after his arrival, only to then be dragged back out. A run of inconsistent performances saw the 24-year-old replaced by Mignolet, with the Belgian having retained favour in domestic competition ever since. Karius was, however, drafted back in for a meeting with West Brom, as his rival nursed a slight knock, and he is determined to see more minutes after keeping a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw....

“These apologists say those who stormed the Capitol were innocent patriots, tourists visiting the seat of the national government to petition their elected representatives peacefully. We’re told that these harmless, ordinary Americans are being persecuted as political prisoners,” Rove said in the piece, which was published by the Wall Street Journal on January 6. Rove went on to detail the violence committed on January 6, noting that there were “several thousand protesters willing to use force to disrupt Congress in its constitutional duty to receive and certify the electoral vote....

That match saw Leonardo Jardim’s men fail to score for just the fourth time in 57 fixtures this season, and brought to an end a run of 12 goals in four knockout stage ties. Nevertheless, having scored 28 goals in all competitions so far this campaign, Radamel Falcao may back himself at 6/1 (7.00) to get a comeback underway by breaking the deadlock at the Juventus Stadium, or 2/1 (3....

Juve are in very good form, and have also topped their group in the Champions League. Inter on the other hand, are struggling to qualify from their group, and might find it difficult to make it to the knock-out rounds. Juve continue to dominate Italian football with one of the strongest squads in the world, but Inter are definitely no pushovers and should fancy their chances against their arch-rivals....

The Croatia international has been with the Bianconeri since 2015, taking in over 120 appearances to date. He has been a regular throughout his time in Turin, taking in 50 outings across the 2016-17 campaign as Juve came within 90 minutes of completing a Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble. Mandzukic was handed a starting spot in the European final defeat to Real Madrid, and his spectacular strike in Cardiff briefly offered them hope before the Blancos pulled clear in a 4-1 win....

Cuadrado has been sidelined since he suffered an injury in Juve’s 2-1 Champions League loss away to Young Boys on December 12. Juve initially indicated the Colombia international would not need an operation, with a conservative treatment plan preferred. But the Serie A leaders confirmed on Friday that Cuadrado has now undergone “arthroscopic treatment” in Spain. “The intervention, carried out in Barcelona by Dr Cugat, and assisted by Juventus’ head of medical staff, Dr Claudio Rigo, was perfectly successful,” a club statement said....

The K-pop quintet released their last song Flower Road in March 2018, after which they bid their fans, known as VIPs, farewell.
