HUTCHINSON, Kan.: (Transcript from KWBW Sports) 7:10am on BW Radio, time to turn to sports,
Jalen Wilson scored 21 points as #4 Kansas beat Harvard 68-54 Thursday night at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks now 11-1, 14 for 20 from behind the ARC. No player besides Grady Dick hit one until Wilson made one with just over a minute remaining. Wilson scored 11 points in the final 6:24. Kevin McCullough had 14. Dick had 11 going 3 for 7 from distance. K.J. Adams Jr. had 10. Chris Ludlam had 17 for Harvard as they dropped to 8-5.
Evan Nelson scored 10 at the Roundhouse in Wichita. Jaron Pierre Junior scored 8 of his game high 18 in the final 3:17 to help Wichita State put away upset minded Texas Southern 65-56 at Charles Kock Arena. James Rojas added 14 points. Jaquan Walton claimed his third double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds for the night with 7 and 5 shockers. Who lost starting point guard Craig Porter Jr. to an ankle injury near the 18 minute mark of the second half, but found just enough offense to stay afloat. Devon Barnes and Jordan Carl Nicholas did the bulk of the damage for Texas southern 3 and 9. They were the preseason favorite to win the SWAC.
The Shockers led by 16 near the 12 minute mark but missed 12 of their next 13 shots and the Tigers got as close as three, with 327 to go before the Shockers put the game away.
And the Kansas City Chiefs can't climb into first place in the AFC and secure that first round playoff bye with a win over Seattle on Saturday. Nor can the Seahawks slip into the postseason by knocking off the West division champs. But a loss for either of them might ruin both of their chances for those long term goals. The Chiefs tied with the bills at 11 and 3 for the conference's best record could be out of the hunt for the top seed if they lose on Saturday. Playoff hopes of the Seahawks are hanging by a thread.
We'll have coverage of the Chiefs and Seahawks on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. here on BW Radio.
That's BW Radio Sports for Friday Morning.
