SHOCKWAVES: Follow Paul Suellentrop's live reports during the game

LINCOLN, Neb. —It wasn't a great way to end the season. With a Big 12 North championship on the line and within its grasp, Kansas State lost back-to-back games to Missouri and Nebraska and won't play in a bowl game for the third year in a row and fifth time in the past six years.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL 2009-10

For years, we've watched Bonnie Bing have all the fun with her terrific fashion sections. Great clothes, unique photo locations, and models who didn't look like they just played 40 minutes of hoops.
So that's what we're going for in our college basketball section: style. We asked many of our subjects to "fashion up" for us, and our stories reflect ever-changing styles in the college game. (We even got Bonnie to weigh in on the uniform choices for Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State.)

Chiefs upset Steelers for second straight win
By KENT BABB, Kansas City Star | Today at 12:51 a.m.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Todd Haley stepped to a microphone and blew out a sigh. What a relief it was to do the impossible and upset the Pittsburgh Steelers. Somehow, the Chiefs did it with a group of no-names, short-timers and a coach who might have taken his biggest step yet at proving some of that progress he has talked so much about.
