Conference Basketball Catchup: Kansas and Texas battle atop the Big 12

Posted Jun 25, 2014
Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid leave Kansas after one season, and Marcus Smart departs early, too: All this was expected but still noteworthy. Wiggins and Embiid helped lead Kansas to yet another Big 12 title during their season in Lawrence, but a Round of 32 loss in the NCAA Tournament was disappointing. Wiggins was terrific, but lacked some of the assertiveness that could take him to the elite level. (CBS Sports)
