K-Nation (1/21/24)- College basketball, Nate Lie, Ben Boyle and more

NORTHEAST KANSAS (KSNT) – This week's K-Nation featured a wild week of Jayhawk and Wildcat basketball.

No. 3 Kansas saw two drastically different games as conference play heats up. Bill Self's squad started with a dominant outing at Oklahoma State, but the team lost in an upset that came down to the wire at West Virginia.

K-State played two games in similar fashion. Both home matchups came down to the very end, with an upset victory over No. 9 Baylor and a comeback effort against Oklahoma State to stay perfect at home in conference play.

Sunflower Showdown part one of the 2024 women's basketball season went the way of the Wildcats. K-State jumped to a big lead early, but Kansas came back to make it a good ball game.

Nate Lie was introduced as the new head coach of Kansas soccer after Mark Francis stepped down following a 25-year career. K-Nation's Glenn Kinley sat down with Lie in a one-on-one interview to talk about the move to Lawrence and why the Jayhawks are right for him.

Ben Boyle calls play-by-play on ESPN+ for K-State men's basketball. He came to the K-Nation studio to talk about the Wildcats' hot start to Big 12 play, two closely fought games in the past week and what needs to be done going forward.

K-Nation also hears from Kansas tennis coach Todd Chapman on his recent extension, updates from football teams, preseason honors for baseball and more.
