The Jayhawks dropped to 1-3 in road games this season, losing for the second time in a week when falling 86-75 at West Virginia on Saturday. “Usually the best road teams are always the ones that can either outscore you or the ones who can make you play poorly, and we're not doing either one,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

Why Bill Simmons oddly declined to watch Steph Curry, Warriors play vs. Clippers
Why Bill Simmons oddly declined to watch Steph Curry, Warriors play vs. Clippers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Bill Simmons isn’t a fan of the 2025-26 Warriors.
In fact, the sports media personality shared that he recently declined the opportunity to watch Steph Curry, one of his favorite NBA players, in person because of how frustrating it is for him to watch Golden State.
Here is what Simmons said about passing on the Curry Show on his “Bill Simmons Podcast.”
“I have Clippers season tickets I share with the one and only Mike Tollin,” Simmons prefaced. “Usually, we go to the Warriors games together because Steph Curry and [Nikola] Jokić are my two ‘I’m going if they’re there.’ [Victor Wembanyama] has now entered that group. Jokić, Curry, Wemby; I’m there if they’re in town. [Tollin] asked … ‘I can’t go Monday. You want the tickets?’ I said, ‘No. Let’s sell him.’ And we sold them. I rain-checked it [and] made up an excuse.
“‘I’m under the weather, Steph. I can’t make it today.’ I just didn’t want to watch him on a s–t Warriors team with f–king Draymond [Green] getting kicked out of every other game, or Steve Kerr getting mad at the refs, or these f–king guys that come in, and [Jimmy] Butler taking 10 shots. I couldn’t do it. It was going to make me mad. I wanted to enjoy my Monday night. Didn’t go. Steph Curry, who’s, by the way, having an incredible year — couldn’t do it.”
Simmons clearly didn’t hold back — regardless of his affinity for Curry.
And ironically, Simmons was right to miss the Warriors’ date with the Clippers on Monday at Intuit Dome. Golden State was defeated by Los Angeles in a frustrating fashion, 103-102.
But despite Simmons’ harsh words, the Warriors have been on one of their better stretches of the 2025-26 NBA season. Golden State has won eight of its last 11 games, including a 34-point blowout win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night at Chase Center.
Maybe Simmons should give watching Curry and the 2025-26 Warriors live another shot.

(1-10-26) Blues-Golden Knights Gameday Lineup
The St. Louis Blues (17-20-8) will try to salvage a game to end a three-game road trip when they conclude it on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights (19-11-12) at 9 p.m. (FDSNMW, ESPN 101.1-FM).
The Blues are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth on Friday and have lost two straight, including a trip-opening 7-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.
The Blues didn't necessarily play poorly Friday, outshooting Utah 28-23 in the game but were done i by a lack of coverage at the net front and once again: special teams, going 0-for-4 on an anemic power play that is now 0-for-17 the past six games and a penalty kill that has allowed four goals on seven attempts this trip and has allowed a goal in eight of the past 13 games.
It's the third and final meeting between the teams this season and the Blues' only visit to Vegas. The teams split two games in St. Louis, with the Blues winning the latest, 4-3 on Jan. 2.
Blues coach Jim Monntgomery will speak pregame at 7:45 p.m. (CT) to address any lineup changes since the Blues did not hold a morning skate, but judging what he's done with Oskar Sundqvist, who scored the Blues' first goal on Friday, in the past and rested him on second of back-to-backs for load management purposes, we'll assume he will not play tonight and insert Robby Fabbri there, which is what the Blues did on Jan. 3 after Sundqvist played against Vegas but did not the following day against the Montreal Canadiens.
Also, Jordan Binnington is projected to get the nod after Joel Hofer made 19 saves on Friday but stay tuned for those confirmed lineup changes after Montgomery's availability.
We know Robert Thomas left in the third period after smacking his head on the ice but did return, and for the second straight game this trip, Jimmy Snuggerud had at least 10 shot attempts with 11 on Friday (five shots on goal, two blocked and four missing the net).

Penguins' Scoring Forward Out For Saturday's Game Against Calgary
Just when things seem to be getting better, the injury bug bits right back at the Pittsburgh Penguins.
One game after activating forward Evgeni Malkin from injured reserve (IR), the Penguins announced Saturday that top-line winger Bryan Rust is out day-to-day with a lower-body injury. In a corresponding move, the Penguins recalled forward Rafael Harvey-Pinard from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS), as they had an open spot on their roster and didn't require an IR move.
It's unclear exactly when Rust sustained the injury, but he did appear to be in some pain after blocking a shot during Pittsburgh's 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. He will not be in the lineup against the Calgary Flames on Saturday.
Rust, 33, has been a fixture alongside Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell on the Penguins' top line this season, and his production will be hard to replace for whatever length of time he is out. The veteran from Pontiac, Mich. has 16 goals and 36 points in 40 games on the season, and he also plays on both special teams units, which limits the Penguins there as well.
Harvey-Pinard, 27, was signed to a one-year deal worth $775,000 during the offseason. He was waived at the conclusion of training camp and re-assigned to the AHL, where he has seven goals and 13 points in 32 games to go along with a plus-8 rating.
Penguins Call Up Skilled Forward From AHLThe Penguins have called up this forward from the AHL.Harvey-Pinard spent parts of four seasons with the Montreal Canadiens - who selected him in the seventh round (201st overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft - and put up 17 goals and 31 points in 84 games.
The Penguins will look to extend their six-game win streak against Calgary, who have lost four in a row heading into the Saturday afternoon tilt at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. Forward Tommy Novak will skate in Rust's place on the first line, while Kevin Hayes - playing in his first game since Dec. 23 - will slot in as the third-line center in place of Novak.
'I'm Lucky To Be Able To Play With Him': Penguins' Rookie Relishes Opportunity To Center All-Time GreatPittsburgh Penguins' rookie Ben Kindel is experiencing a rare opportunity to center an all-time great NHL player in Evgeni Malkin - and he hopes to make the most of it.Bookmark THN - Pittsburgh Penguins on your Google News tab to follow the latest Penguins news, roster moves, player features, and more!
