LEXINGTON, Ky. — Earlier this season, the Kansas Jayhawks defied the odds with a win over No. 1 Duke at Madison Square Garden.
Saturday night,
hampered by depth issues and against a fellow topfive team in the nation, the Jayhawks did the same thing. No.2 Kansas triumphed at Rupp Arena, defeating No.4 Kentucky 79-73.
Senior guard Frank Mason III finished with
21 points in the statement win. Kentucky also had a difficult time containing freshman guard Josh Jackson, who impressed on a national stage with 20 points.
"Of course I know it means a lot to the fans of both schools and certainly
there's a lot of tradition on the line," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "But I thought our experience ... Frank and Devonte' and Josh plays much older than his years, and Svi and Landen [Lucas] — I thought those guys played with pretty good poise down the
stretch."
Kansas shot into a 10-point lead in the final five minutes. The team defended that lead, which stood anywhere from 10 to four points, until the end of the game.
The team erased any worry of foul trouble, but
senior center Landen Lucas took to the bench with 2:24 remaining. For almost all game, and especially during the second half, Kansas remained smart and careful on defense.

Anti-campus carry bill gains support

TOPEKA - A bill that would stop concealed carry of weapons on state college campuses saw large support during a hearing in the Kansas Senate on Thursday.
A state Senate committee had a hearing Thursday on a bill that would give universities, colleges and public hospitals and clinics a permanent exemption from a 2013 law that allowed gun owners to carry concealed weapons into more public buildings. The law granted the universities, colleges and hospitals a four-year exemption, which will expire this July 1.

comes only four days after a 19-yearold Kansas State University student was transported to a hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound from a weapon kept in a dorm room, against university rules.
While supporters of the rollback bill are leaning heavily on this recent incident, their push to keep concealed weapons off campus has been building for months.
"There are a lot of concerns about safety," said Andrew Bennett, a Kansas State math professor and its Faculty Senate president. "I think the fact that we had the accident on campus brings home, when you have guns, accidents tend to follow."
Several people from the University of Kansas, including professor Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, graduate student Megan Jones and Student Body President Stephonn Alcorn, testified during the hearing in defense of the bill.
The Kansas law requires universities, colleges and hospitals to allow
adults 21 or older to carry concealed weapons into their buildings if they don't have adequate security measures, such as metal detectors or guards. Those measures could be expensive for university to install.
The University has not yet finalized which, if any, of its buildings will receive adequate security measures. The school's new weapons policy, approved by the Board of Re-

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Many students were among the hundreds of voices chanting "No hate; no fear; refugees are welcome here" on Sunday at the Kansas City International (MCI) airport in Kansas City, Missouri protesting President Donald Trump's immigration ban.
"You shouldn't be banning people when everyone is welcome here. It's a nation of immigrants," Cierra TwoBulls, a graduate student
from Pine Ridge, South Dakota, said.
Individuals gathered outside of Terminal C, which is the entrance for international arrivals at the airport. They were protesting against the executive order signed on Friday afternoon by Trump banning travel from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days and the suspension of all refugee admission for 120 days. The Muslim-majority countries are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia,
