KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Cole Aldrich had 12 points and 18
rebounds, and No. 1 Kansas become the third team to reach 2,000
wins by pulling out an 80-68 victory over scrappy Texas Tech yesterday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
Kansas (30-2) was upset by Baylor in last year's Big 12
tournament and seemed headed for another with an uneven start. The
Jayhawks slogged through a sloppy first half and had to withstand a
Texas Tech rally in the second before pulling away to join Kentucky
and North Carolina in the 2,000-win club.
Kansas moves on to face Texas A&M in today's semifinals.
Texas Tech (17-15) all but secured an NIT berth by beating
Colorado in the opener, but its only chance at an NCAA berth was to
win the Big 12 tournament.
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) - Third baseman Mike Moustakas, the second
overall pick in the 2007 draft, was among seven players reassigned
to minor league camp Thursday by the Kansas City Royals.
Also sent down were outfielder David Lough, who hit .325 last
season and was the Royals' 2009 minor league player of the year,
and left-hander Danny Duffy, who pitched in the Futures All-Star
Game and was 9-3 with a 2.98 ERA with Single-A Wilmington.
Other players sent to the minor league camp were outfielder
David Robinson, first baseman Ernest Mejia, infielder Mario Lisson
and catcher Steve Lerud.
All seven players were non-roster invitees.
The Royals have 58 players left in camp.
