The Kansas men’s basketball team is searching for answers. The Jayhawks, who were ranked No. 1 before the season started, have lost two in a row and four straight road games in Big 12 play. BYU blew out No. 23 Kansas 91-57 on Tuesday night, and the loss tied for the largest margin of defeat of the Self era (34 points) at KU. Naturally, the frustration has mounted. “I thought we were awful and I thought they were great,” Self told reporters after the loss in Provo. KU looks to get back on track vs. Oklahoma State Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Get more analysis at the link in our bio. #KUHoops #Jayhawks

Kansas City Royals general manager J.J. Picollo, who just earned a newly minted five-year contract extension, knows there is still work to do. Picollo has aimed to bolster the Royals roster with re-signings and offseason acquisitions. KC re-signed veteran starters Michael Wacha and Michael Lorenzen this offseason. The Royals also swung a trade to acquire leadoff hitter Jonathan India and added closer Carlos Estévez. The Royals finished 86-76 last season. KC snapped an eight-year playoff drought and came up short against the New York Yankees in the American League Divisional Series. This spring, there is a new mentality in Royals camp. The club got a taste of postseason baseball, and now several players want more.

Wichita airport officials and city leaders said they don’t have a list of the 64 passengers and crew members from Flight 5342, and it remains unclear how many of them are Wichitans. “At this time, we don’t have that information, and I know we don’t have the manifest at this moment,” Wichita Mayor Lily Wu said at a news conference Thursday morning.

Eisenhower National Airport at 5:18 p.m. on Thursday and collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport about two and half hours later. The helicopter was carrying three people. All 67 are believed to be dead, D.C.-area search and rescuers said after an overnight search in the frigid water of the Potomac River near the airport.
