The Rifleman's Chuck Connors gave Chicago a shoutout in 1961

Even an Old West cowboy needed a change of scenery sometimes!. Chuck Connors was best known for his role as Lucas McCain on The Rifleman.

“Surprised”: Tom Izzo Makes His Opinion Around Jon Scheyer’s Duke Absolutely Clear Following Michigan State’s Win

Duke walked into Chicago on Tuesday night looking like one of the toughest teams in the country.

Michigan State, ranked No. 5, had other plans. They led from start to finish and won 79-73. Afterward, in an interview, Tom Izzo said something that sounded more like praise for Duke than a victory speech. “I am a little surprised, ’cause I think they’re a really, really good team, and I feel bad saying that because then it looks like, ‘oh, John d...

Three of the center’s four ice surfaces were in use for a weekend hockey tournament. The fourth rink, where Jason Brown was headed, would be filled with 16 figure skaters of various ages and skill levels, from the abilities that have made the 31-year-old Brown a two-time Olympian to those of tiny 8-year-olds trying to master a waltz jump.

CHICAGO — Fueled by a critical run of 12 straight points early in the second half, the 15th-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team defeated No. 24 Kentucky in resounding fashion, 89-69, on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic.

“I feel like we stayed foot on the gas tonight,” fifth-year guard Tre White said. “We didn’t get complacent.”. Facing the primary recruiting rival he spurned in favor of KU, freshman forward Tyran Stokes did a bit of everything for the Jayhawks and came away with 23 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. White was KU’s leading scorer with a career-high 30 points and added six boards of his own, and Trey Kaufman-Renn chipped in 12 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Jayhawks.
