The bills also propose lowering penalties in certain cases where suspects refuse testing. Dem. Sen. David Haley says the bill aims…

On a simply wild Saturday in the Big 12, it seems only one of the season’s consistent themes made an appearance. Texas Tech plays some serious defense. The 7th-ranked Red Raiders smothered Kansas State’s offense for much of the night Saturday in a 66-47 victory that gave TTU a one-game lead in the league standings. “They’re one of the top defensive teams in the country,” Bruce Weber said. “They guard differently than a lot of teams. We tried some different schemes, but we just missed shots.” K-State shot 28.9 percent, including just 26.3 in the second half. The Wildcats’ first…
