In case you live under a rock (which I assume most people who are "only KU basketball fans" do), the Patriots beat the Seahawks last night in the Super Bowl. I officially nominate Liam Neeson's Clash of Clans commercial as the best one.

Made for this: Kansas native Perry Ellis thrives in showdown | KUsports.com
“We had a feeling it would be his night on the points and on the boards because it was personal for him going against one of his in-state rivals in Nino (Williams, former Leavenworth High player),” freshman guard Oubre said after Perry Ellis scored a team-leading 16 points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds in the Jayhawks’ 68-57 victory over rival Kansas State.
The ninth-ranked Jayhawks look to avenge their lone Big 12 defeat by handing the No. 15 Cyclones a 10th consecutive loss at Allen Fieldhouse. "We owe them," Kansas forward Kelly Oubre said shortly after Saturday's 68-57 win over Kansas State.

Iowa State, not KSU, Kansas’ top hoops rival | KUsports.com
(Mr. Ed says: I know Mr. Keegan is banned from RCT, but I linked this today anyway. I think it's interesting to see who people think our biggest rival is.)
Nobody enlivens an Allen Fieldhouse crowd the way Iowa State does. Based in small part on the history of the rivalry and in greater part on recent thrilling games, Iowa State, not Kansas State, has replaced Missouri as KU’s No. 1 basketball rival.
Big visit weekend leads to 3 more commitments for KU football | KUsports.com
None of KU's oral commitments are binding, so nothing will be official until the prospects send their signed letters of intent to the football offices on Wednesday. It sounds like most, if not all, of the athletes currently committed but unsigned are solid with their choices of Kansas and are planning to make things official bright and early Wednesday.

Fast times, tight competition, and a flurry of close finishes, which mostly went the visitor's way, lifted No. 34 Arkansas to a 194-105 victory over host Kansas inside Robinson Natatorium Saturday morning. The Razorbacks won all but one event, a triumph for KU All-American Chelsie Miller in the 200-yard individual medley, and set a pool record in the 500-yard freestyle as Anna Mayfield bested her own Robinson Center mark.

Drones flying over ballparks without permission concern MLB - CBSSports.com
Major League Baseball officials had no warning when a drone hovered over Comerica Park during Game 3 of the ALDS on Oct. 5. The drone posed no threat, it turned out, but players for the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles, along with umpires and security, didn't know that until the moment had passed.
This is the best version of Star Wars — and watching it is a crime - Vox
Anyone who wants to see a high-quality version of the original cut of the film faces a couple of hurdles. One is that Lucas has never taken steps to properly preserve or restore the original physical film reels. He's gone so far as refusing to allow the Library of Congress's National Film Registry to get its hands on a copy. Nor has he released a high-quality version for home viewing. A few people may have their hands on obsolete VHS or Laserdisc sets, of course, but that doesn't help. Back in 2006, he released a DVD set that contained the original cut of Star Wars, but it's a low-quality transfer made back in 1993 for the Laserdisc not a proper DVD release to say nothing of a Blu-ray.
