WA C ga:
The Kansas Jayhawks weren't supposed to beat the Ohio State Buckeyes and throughout most of the game, that looked to be true. At one point they were losing by 13 in the first half and went into the half trailing by nine. But then, just like every other game during this tournament, the Jayhawks flipped a switch.

STORAGE
Students use extra storage as small space solution

Moving to a new apartment creates a variety of hassles, only one of which may be downsizing. As some students unpack, they realize that many of their belongings will not fit in their new place, which creates additional stress. A storage unit is the next possible answer. Residence halls do not have storage available, and some apartments don't have garages, attics or any other places for excess belongings.
"I think a lot of students use storage units, because it's not easy to just drive their belongings back home," Beverly Morgan, co-owner of Space Place, said.
It is easy to think that household items can be stored in a garage or an outside storage closet, and a garage may be an option for some students at certain complexes, such as The Legends or Parkway Commons. However, they are not climate-controlled, and personal items become susceptible to mold and bugs. With spring and summer humidity approaching, that collection of baseball cards or stamps may be ruined.
Leslie Donahue, community assistant at The Connection apartment complex, said residents are referred to A-1 Self Storage across the street, because the complex does not have storage units or garages.
"We get a lot of students needing storage units, and some also want to store their vehicle," said Theresa Lassiter, Property Manager at A-1.
While rates vary, they typically start at $50 a month for a 5-by-5 storage unit and can go up to $100 a month. There are different types of storage units with different accommodations. Units can be climate-controlled, located on the outside or the inside of the building, be situated on the second floor or even have enough room for your boxes and a car. There are many options available
If students are not concerned about climate-control issues, a garage at an apartment complex might be the answer. Typical single-car garages start at $50 a month with a deposit. Some complexes have double-car garages, so a car can go on one side, and other large, household items can go on the other.
Morgan said the peak time for renting a storage unit is from mid-May until mid-August, because students are in need of a unit over the summer, from July to August.
For students who are interested, there are different storage units throughout town that offer varying units. It's important to decide first what kind of unit to look for, make some calls and sign a lease. Most places will allow students to rent by the month, but some leases can be for longer periods of time.

Tiny apartments can result in little extra space for students to store the items they don't useeveryday. Storage units and garages are good alternatives to cramped quarters.

Young's energy is undeniable. He comes off the bench and is just a spark with hustle on every play. His high-octane motor causes him to get in foul trouble, but he is able to keep plays alive more times than not. Out of his five rebounds, four were on the offensive side of the ball. He failed to score, but his energy and relentlessness is what Kansas needs coming off the bench.
