OVERALL PERFORMANCE
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. The defensive intensity appeared and caused problems for the Buckeyes. Shots started falling.

RECIPE
Puppy Chow: Quick, simple snack recipe
ANNA WENNER

Entertaining friends can be a lot of work especially when snacks are involved. If you want to find a snack that tastes as good as it looks and is easy to make, look no further. Puppy Chow is the snack for you.
I first discovered Puppy Chow when I was in kindergarten. It was served during one of our class parties, and I refused to eat it initially because, as I told my teacher, "I wasn't allowed to eat dog food." The teacher laughed and explained that Puppy Chow is not actually food for dogs. I asked her what it was, and instead of explaining, she got a bag and showed me. Sitting in a clear plastic bag was the best looking snack that I had ever seen.
When I hit middle school I realized that I could make the snack that I loved so much, so I began searching the Internet for a recipe. I eventually found one I liked and decided to try it out—it was awesome, but not yet perfect. Since then, my friends and I have tweaked the recipe until we found the optimum level of simplicity, ease and taste. This recipe is especially good for small spaces like apartments because it uses up almost all of the ingredients, needs only a microwave, a bowl, and a few zip-lock bags and takes no
previous cooking knowledge to make.
While making it, it's important to not sweat the small stuff. The measurements do not have to be exact for it to turn out well, and substitutions can be made. Experiment for yourself and find the method that works best for you.
STEPS
To begin, gather the materials that you will need:
1. 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2. 1 stick (or %) of butter
1 18 oz. jar of peanut butter
1 12 oz. box of Kellogg's Crispix cereal (non-name brands are usually called "crispy rice cereal")
4 cups of powdered sugar (1 small bag will have plenty)
a large, microwavable bowl, and either a large mixing bowl or two 2 gallon zip lock bags
Next, put the stick of butter, 1.5 cups of peanut butter (this will be almost all of the peanut butter in the jar, minus about a $ \frac{1}{4} $ cup. If you want a heavier peanut butter taste to your snack, you can put it all in), and the entire bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the microwave bowl. Put the bowl in the
microwave for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients are melted. Stir the ingredients at least once (it can be during the micwaving or after) to make sure everything is mixed together.
From here you have two options:
In the first option, you can take a large mixing bowl and pour the cereal and the melted mixture into the bowl, stirring them together until the cereal is fully covered. You can then add the powdered sugar and stir until all of the cereal is covered. This option will not result in a particularly attractive batch of puppy chow, but it is sometimes easier if you are making it by yourself and tastes just as good. If you want to use bowls but still want it to turn out white, you can use a new bowl when adding the powdered sugar.
Alternatively, you can pour the cereal and melted mixture into a 2 gallon plastic bag, close the bag, and shake it until the cereal is covered. Be careful to shake the bag gently, so you don't split the sides. You can then pour the cereal from one bag to the other and add powdered sugar to the second bag. Shake the bag until all the cereal is covered. This generally gives you the most attractive looking puppy chow, and is ideal when making snacks for a special occasion.

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
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.
