Chen Has Trust in Herself

She's wearing a black Nike golf jacket, sitting in a cushy brown chair in the corner of Colbert's Restaurant at Colbert Hills Golf Course just after noon. She has both hands peeking out from the jacket's sleeves, giving two thumbs up, wearing a wide grin. This is the introduction to Kansas State sophomore Kelsey Chen, who grew up on a big island off the coast of China, and now has achieved her first big thing since her arrival in the Little Apple.

Claessens is Just Beginning Her Best Basketball

She's smiling as she talks. In 2023, Nastja Claessens, the daughter of Belgian basketball coach Fredric Claessens and former Belgian Cat Irina Medvedeva, became only the second player in Belgian women's basketball history to be voted Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in the same season.

Lodice Wasn’t Ready to Say Goodbye

The young boy and his father waited in a long line that snaked around Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium just after sunlight kissed the asphalt on a crisp June morning in Omaha, Nebraska. This was the tradition for Mike Lodice and his son, Kyan, who lived minutes away, and who made the annual pilgrimage to the dusty mecca that began with hotdogs and sodas and ended with sunburn and memories — the College Baseball World Series. Yes, they had done this for years. Everyone in town waited three or four hours until the gates opened and then sprinted to the best seats in general admission. But on this particular day, after watching the fans in front of them slowly enter the gates and file into the stadium, Mike and Kyan, with a mile of people standing behind them, were stopped by a stadium attendant.

Playing With a Chip on the Shoulder is ‘Who We Are’

It's been 248 days since Pete Hughes pulled off his Kansas State uniform for the last time after a 2025 baseball season that ended with a second consecutive appearance in an NCAA Regional. Hughes now sits on a folding chair in the team meeting room at Tointon Family Stadium for the team's media day event, flanked by four players, and for the next 30 minutes discusses the Wildcats — and how far they could go in 2026.
