4 March 2024

NORTHEAST KANSAS (KSNT) – K-Nation had big names on the program but kept an emphasis on in-depth, high quality content this week.

Fresh off a new contract revision for Lance Leipold, Kansas AD Travis Goff shares the importance of the new deal. K-Nation also breaks down a bonus check for K-State’s Chris Klieman and how some Jayhawks and Wildcats performed at the NFL combine.

K-Nation’s Caroline Soro secured a one-on-one interview with Leipold after the news broke of his new deal. The two talk about the commitment to Kansas, what it means to get the vote of confidence and more.

Big 12 basketball has been crazy all season and this week was no exception. No. 7 Kansas picked up a couple of losses, K-State went 1-1 in close games and both women’s teams looked ready for postseason play after big wins on Saturday.

Jace Friesen played special teams for K-State during his five years in Manhattan, and in that time, racked up a slew of great stories. He joined the K-Nation studio to talk about Chris Klieman’s first-ever fake punt, rooming with All-American guard Cooper Beebe and more.

K-State women’s golf has looked good in its first season under head coach Stew Burke. K-Nation’s Caroline Soro tells us why he’s been the right fit for Manhattan so far.

The show also gives an update on a dominant week from baseball and softball, where each team swept the weekend.

K-Nation airs every Sunday night on KSNT after 27 News at 10. It’s a 30-minute weekly sports special revolving around K-State and KU sports. Click here for more K-Nation content.
