For a team dealt a whole season’s worth of heartbreak in the last three weeks alone, Kansas State was an awfully focused basketball team Saturday evening. The result reflected it. K-State used a red-hot first half to bury Oklahoma State before coasting to a 89-73 victory at Bramlage Coliseum. “I couldn’t be more pleased for the guys,” K-State coach Bruce Weber said. “They competed through some tough losses, but they bounced back. They know there are still a lot of things to play for.” Three days after dropping their second double-overtime game of the season, the Wildcats (12-7, 2-5 Big…

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Holmes’ rules included a dress code prohibiting women testifying on bills from wearing low-cut necklines and miniskirts. The rules have no dress code for men.

TOPEKA — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says he’ll ask the state Supreme Court to review a ruling from a lower court that blocks the state from enforcing its first-in-the-nation ban on a common second-trimester abortion procedure. The Republican attorney general said in a statement that Friday’s ruling from the Kansas Court of Appeals provides little legal clarity.
