Familiar faces ready to star (again) in Big 12 basketball this season
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In college basketball these days, top players rarely stick around for long, the best of them using school merely as a year-long springboard to the NBA. Things are a little different in the Big 12. While there are still plenty of talented freshmen on Big 12 rosters this season, the bulk of the premier players are back from last year. Many had the chance to leave school, but they instead chose to return, giving the league the veteran flavor of a bygone era.

Texas feels good after win, but 'still sitting here at 2-4'
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — If the Texas Longhorns are still giddy after their big win over Oklahoma that many called a program changer, junior defensive tackle Paul Boyette is happy to spoil the fun. "We played our butts off against Oklahoma," Boyette said Monday. "But we're still sitting here at 2-4." Boyette delivered a stark reminder that probably needs repeating to the young team that pulled off a shocking upset after getting blown out by TCU just a week earlier.

Blue Jays' big bats silenced in 5-0 ALCS loss to Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Toronto's Troy Tulowitzki noticed something different about Royals starter Edinson Volquez when he dug in for his first at-bat of the American League Championship Series. Something you could only tell by standing in the batter's box — or holding a radar gun. "I think his velocity was a little higher than it normally is," Tulowitzki said after an 0-for-4 night in a 5-0 Game 1 loss Friday night. "He was hitting his spots. He did a good job."
