P.J. Haggerty, Kansas State try to disrupt Colorado's roll at home

Kansas State interim coach Matthew Driscoll will continue to make minor strategic adjustments when the Wildcats head to Colorado for a Big 12 contest on Wednesday in Boulder, Colo.

The Wildcats (11-16, 2-12 Big 12) are 1-1 since former coach Jerome Tang was fired on Feb. 15, following postgame comments after a 91-62 home loss to Cincinnati on Feb. 11. The Wildcats snapped a six-game losing streak in Driscoll’s debut with a 90-74 home victory over Baylor on Feb. 17.

“We’re not going to change,” Driscoll said. “But we will be different.”

Different could be good after the Wildcats were crushed 100-72 on Saturday at No. 13 Texas Tech. Though being different could simply mean P.J. Haggerty getting back to normal.

Driscoll jokingly suggested that Haggerty, the nation’s No. 3 scorer at 23.5 points per game, was mortal after he connected on 7 of 17 field-goal attempts and finished with 17 points against Texas Tech — his second-lowest total in Big 12 play.

“Today you found out that when P.J. Haggerty gets cut, he bleeds, too,” Driscoll said. “He’s a regular human being. He had a very tough day. He’s usually 50 to 52% (from the field), makes a three, knocks down some free throws and he’s between 20 to 25 (points). On a good night, he gets 35. Today, on 17 shots, he got 17 points.”

Colorado (15-12, 5-9) could be playing out the string in conference play, but the Buffaloes have more urgency because they entered Tuesday’s action ranked No. 69 in the national NET rankings and No. 76 in the WAB (Wins Above Bubble). They are 3-3 in February coming off an 83-69 home win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Bangot Dak led the Buffaloes with 17 points and Barrington Hargress added 16 to move to 3-0 at home in February and 12-4 on the season.

“We feel the energy at home and love playing in front of our fans,” Hargress said. “We’ll take it, we want to protect home-court advantage. But we are really just focused on playing consistent basketball, whether it’s here or away.”

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. No other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.

The exhibition is titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” and takes a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP both on and off the court. Curry’s business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on the project.

“The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man,” the Hall of Fame said in a news release.

This will be the first look at Curry’s legacy at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected for enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.

“When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching and the moments that shaped me on and off the court,” said Curry, 38.

“To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too.”

A closing date has not been set for the exhibition.

Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams facing gun charges in Canada

Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team's practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025.Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team’s practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025.

Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is facing multiple charges related to a guns and gangs investigation in his native Canada.

Adams turned himself into Durham Regional Police in the Toronto area on Sunday on charges of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device.

His 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, was charged with the same crimes as part of the investigation.

Adams, who turned 26 on Tuesday, has since returned to Arizona and is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday, according to ESPN. The Cardinals begin practice on Thursday.

The Cardinals said Tuesday that they were aware of the situation.

“Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time,” a team spokesperson said.

A third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2024, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Adams appeared in 32 games with 16 starts in his first two NFL seasons. He is expected to compete with rookie Chase Bistonis for the starting job at right guard.
