each offered flashes of what
they do best.
Oubre juiced the old barn
with a thunderous left-handed jam that pushed Kansas’
lead to 65-32 with more than
11 minutes to play. Mykhailiuk stalked the perimeter
and cashed in two of five
from beyond the three-point
line. Graham, meanwhile,
showcased a steady influence
in the backcourt, finishing
with seven points and three
assists while playing alongside
Mason.
The talent is evident, Self
will say, but there is still much
to learn.
“Like how to play,” Self
said, rather bluntly.
“Kelly could be a great
defender and a great rebounder, and Svi could be a
great ball-mover and a really,
really good shooter,” Self
said. “And I just don’t think
we play to our strengths near
as much as we should.”
If Monday was about first
impressions, though, the most
memorable one belonged
to Alexander, who began
the night on the bench and
then offered a five-minute
clinic on the power forward
position.
Alexander stepped onto
the floor at the 15:14 mark
of the first half, scored
eight points, snared three
rebounds, sprinted the floor
hard, and calmly headed
back to the bench at the
9:59 mark. For a five minute,
15-second hello to Allen
Fieldhouse, it was hard to
top. Alexander was active
on the glass, overwhelmed
the smallish D-II competi-

Scoreboard
tion and provided a brief
snapshot of why he was a
consensus top-five recruit.
“That’s all natural,”
sophomore center Landen
Lucas said. “You could put
him out in any situation and
that’s going to happen.”
As Alexander exited,
in came Oubre, a 6-foot7 swingman and fellow
McDonald’s All-American.
Moments later, he drilled
a three-pointer from the
corner.
There were other players
on the floor for Kansas on
Monday, and on another
night, more attention may
have been cast toward
Mason, who finished with 13
points, seven assists and six
rebounds in just 24 minutes
of action.
But Monday was unofficial
freshman night, Alexander
and Co.’s first run inside Allen Fieldhouse. Self ’s was encouraged by certain stretches
and frustrated at others. This
was just the first step. But
moments before Alexander
left the Allen Fieldhouse media room, he was asked about
his only foul of the night.
For a moment, there were no
butterflies.
“That was a clean block,”
he said.
Greene has concussion
Sophomore wing Brannen
Greene suffered a concussion
during the second half when
he was blindsided by a screen
and his head snapped back.
Greene headed to the locker room and returned later to
the bench. Self said Greene
probably would miss at least
a few days of practice.
from A10
“There’s more to it
than just saying it. They’ve
experienced it but you still
have to do it, and the fact
(remains) that TCU is in all
likelihood the best football
team we’ve played up to this
point in time. Our improvement during the course of
the week from last week is
certainly going to be instrumental.”
Hard-fought victories at
Iowa State in September
and Oklahoma last month
gave the Wildcats a road
map for success away from
Manhattan. Whether they
can continue it against TCU
and West Virginia, the two
biggest surprises in the
league so far, is the next test.
“Of course it gives any
team confidence whenever
you beat a great team like
Oklahoma,” said senior
wide receiver Tyler Lockett,
who moved into second
place on K-State’s career
lists for receiving yards and
touchdowns last week. “We
understand we have a crazy
road game schedule, playing
some great teams.
“The biggest thing is, are
we up for the challenge? I
think the team is up for the
challenge.”
So does wide receiver
Curry Sexton, who said
previous road victories have
boosted the Wildcats’ confidence, but also that playing
in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area could be an advantage.
“We have a large alumni
fan base in Dallas, so I’m
sure there will be a lot of KStaters there,” he said. “But
one thing I think this team
does wells is, we do well
playing on the road.
“It just seems like there’s
more of a focus because
there’s less distractions.
Knock on wood, hopefully that will continue, but
I think having played at
Oklahoma and Iowa State,
which is a really tough
place to play, will help going
forward.”
There will also be the
glare of a national spotlight,
what with TCU (7-1, 4-1)
ranked No. 9 and K-State
(7-1, 5-0) at No. 6.
“That’s the type of
games you live for,” K-State
quarterback Jake Waters
said. “It’s going to be a great
game.
“A top 10 game at their
place, it doesn’t get much
better than that.”
Sexton said that some
members of the Wildcats
also can draw on the experience of being near the top
of the national rankings two
years ago.
“It’s kind of similar to a
lot of games in 2012,” he
said. “It’s the biggest game
of the year and it will continue to be that way, so we’ve
got to continue to work and
take care of business.
“This is what you dream
of as a kid.”

MNF,
from A10
The Giants’ offense,
however, was horrible.
Challenged by the general
manager to be more aggressive and by the coach to
play “above the Xs and Os,”
they couldn’t do either. The
Giants did take several more
chances with passes down
the field than usual, but they
came up empty.
Against a team that allowed 51 points to the Steelers a week ago, the Giants
never even reached the red
zone in the first half. They
left the field to a cascade of
boos, trailing 16-3.
Not even Michael Strahan’s Hall of Fame ring
ceremony at halftime could
change the momentum.
Indy literally plucked a
touchdown away from the
Giants on the opening drive
of the second half when
Luck threw a pass into the
end zone that Rodgers-Cromartie appeared to intercept.
Before he could come down
with the ball, T.Y. Hilton
pulled it away from him for
a 31-yard reception to make
it 23-3.
The Giants’ offense finally
found a pulse with long receptions by Odell Beckham
Jr. and Andre Williams that
featured strong runs after the
catch — above the Xs and
Os, if you will — that set up
Williams’ 1-yard touchdown
run to close to 23-10 with
9:48 left in the third. But the
Giants’ deficiencies in the
secondary bit them as Luck
hit Reggie Wayne for an out
pass that Hosley overextended on. Wayne ran most of
the 40 yards uncovered for a
30-10 lead.
Manning fumbled on a
sack deep in Giants territory,
and Sergio Brown returned
it to the 4 to set up a third
Colts touchdown in a span
of 7:21.
SHIELDS,
from A10
In short, Shields lived up
to every expectation set for
him. Davis took longer to
show his worth. He became
a nightmare for opposing
hitters as a set-up man this
season. He set a franchise
record for strikeouts in a
season by a reliever with
109. He allowed zero home
runs. His ERA was 1.00.
The Royals could have
declined Davis’ option and
gone to arbitration with
him. But after earning $4.8
million this past season,
Davis was likely to receive a
raise higher than the guaranteed $7 million option.
Only Yankees rookie
Dellin Betances could
challenge Davis for relief
supremacy in the American
League in 2014. Now the
team must decide how to
proceed. Kelvin Herrera
also resurfaced as a force
in second half, and pitched
well enough to merit an
opportunity as a closer with
most teams. On the Royals, Herrera handled the
seventh inning.
