The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. Bill Selfs squad is playing some of its best basketball of late. After knocking off four straight nationally-ranked foes, Kansas avoided a letdown this past weekend, blowing out TCU on the road, 91-69. Fred Hoibergs Cyclones are 15-3 overall and have some marquee wins to their credit, knocking off Michigan, Iowa and Texas thus far. The team continued to bolster its resume with last weekends 81-75 win over nationally-ranked Kansas State. The victory ended a three-game losing streak for Iowa State and moved the team to 3-3 in league play. Kansas has won four straight meetings and 17 of the last 18 overall to take a 174-59 all-time series lead. KU is seeking the regular-season sweep after posting a 77-70 win in Ames on Jan. 13. The Jayhawks hold a 89-15 edge in Lawrence and a 48-9 advantage at the Allen Fieldhouse, including wins in the last eight meetings there. After winning its first 14 games of the season, Iowa State has started to return to the pack a little bit, with losses in three of the last four games. Still, the Cyclones remain dangerous, leading the Big 12 in scoring (84., assists (18.2), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.7) and three-point field goals made (8.7). The scoring pool is deep for ISU, with four of the five starters in double figures. Melvin Ejim leads the team with 17.9 ppg, while also grabbing 7.3 rpg. DeAndre Kane is the new edition to the roster and has made an immediate impact with 16.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per outing. Georges Niang (15.4 ppg) and Dustin Hogue (11.9 ppg, 9.3 rpg) add to ISUs firepower. Iowa State shot a scorching 61.5 percent from the floor in the first half to take a 12-point lead over Kansas State into intermission. The Cyclones cooled off considerably after the break (35.7 percent), but were able to hold on for the win. Ejim just missed a double-double, finishing with 20 points and nine rebounds. Niang poured in 18 points, followed by Matt Thomas (14 pts) and Kane (10 pts). Hogue netted eight points, but grabbed a team-best 12 boards. Freshman Andrew Wiggins scored a career-high 27 points to lead the Jayhawks to the easy win over the Horned Frogs last time out. Kansas shot a sterling 57.4 percent from the floor and held a 40-24 rebounding advantage in the rout. Fellow freshmen Joel Embiid (14 points and three blocks) and Wayne Selden Jr. (12 points), got into the act as well, while sophomore Perry Ellis (eight points) grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds. The Jayhawks have been ultra-efficient this season, ranking fourth nationally at an impressive .510 shooting percentage from the floor, leading to a hefty 79.6 ppg. Kansas has also been dominant on the glass with a +7.3 rebounding margin. A young squad that features three freshmen, one sophomore and one junior in the starting lineup, is peaking at the right time. Wiggins was the star recruit and has played well for the most part, leading the Jayhawks in scoring at 15.8 ppg. Ellis is second in the scoring column at 12.9 ppg. Embiid has burst on the scene as one of the nations most talented big men, shooting .667 from the floor, while averaging 11.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

MONTREAL -- Its time to see how the Montreal Impact respond to this weeks front office shakeup. The last-place Impact (3-12-5) face rival Toronto FC at Saputo Stadium on Saturday evening in its first game since owner and president Joey Saputo removed his friend Nick De Santis as sporting director and gave head coach Frank Klopas full control of the squad. Toronto (7-7-5) is looking to snap out of a mid-season funk that has seen it go 0-2-2 in its last four games and 2-3-4 in its last nine as it struggles to hold onto a playoff spot in Major League Soccers Eastern Conference. Catch the coverage live on TSN at 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt. You can also listen live on TSN 1050 Toronto and TSN 690 Montreal. "When you dont have good seasons, you have to expect a lot of things," Impact captain Patrice Bernier said this week. "We have 14 games left to save pride for ourselves, the team and the fans. "We need to show that (while) were having a bad season, were a quality team with quality players." The scheduling change makes it TFCs third game in an eight-day span, including last weeks 2-1 loss at home to Kansas City and a 3-0 road setback to D.C. United on Wednesday. Beset by fans and media as the losses piled up this season, Saputo acted on Wednesday, giving Klopas full power over personnel decisions through the end of the 2015 season. It will be up to the former Chicago Fire boss to shape the team and get positive results over the last three months of the regular season games and in the Champions League. "Its about taking one game at a time now; its difficult to talk about the goals we had early on because you have to reassess," Klopas said. "This game obviously means a lot. "Its a big rivalry. Its a derby. But were excited. Were at home. Theres a certain incentive." Klopas was surprised to see De Santis moved to an administrative job. The former Impact player, coach and manager was a big supporter when former U.S. international forward Klopas was named Montreals third coach is as many seasons last winter. Klopas had already made a few moves this season, including one in May that sent midfielder Collen Warner to Toronto for midfielder Issey Nakajima-Farran. It remains to be seen if Warner will start in his return to Saputo Stadium. Another move came Tuesday, when midfielder-forward Sanna Nyassi went to Chicago for midfielder Dilly Duka, a Klopas favourite who was little-used by new Fire boss Frank Yallop. The 24-year-old Duka arrived just afterr Saputos announcement to a team still digesting the De Santis news.dddddddddddd He seemed bewildered, but he was glad to play for Klopas again. "Our relationship was good in the past," said Duka. "Coming back and playing for him will be a good transition, and Im looking forward to working with the players Montreal has." The deal had been in the works for several weeks, but could not be completed until Nyassi was ready to return from an ankle injury. Klopas describes Duka as an attacking midfielder who can play on the left side, in the middle or just behind the striker. "Hes a kind of player in the final third that I wanted to bring here," said Klopas. "Hes young, so we can have continuity. We dont have to make changes every year. "Hes a very good player off the dribble. Hes dangerous in the open filed. He shoots with both feet and hes dangerous around the box. He brings another dimension with his pace and his ability to beat players." New designated player Ignacio Piatti, who is set to join the Impact from Argentina next week, is also an attacking midfielder, so it will be interesting to see what affect that will have on the minutes played by those currently in those positions, like Felipe Martins and Andres Romero. But the Impact has five league games and two CONCACAF matches in August, so depth will be tested and they should all get playing time. Toronto also has depth issues with right back Mark Bloom (knee) and centre back and captain Steven Caldwell (quad) out of the lineup. The team led by U.S. international midfielder Michael Bradley and former Tottenham star Jermain Defoe had 14 shots but failed to score against D.C., while a young defence conceded three goals. It is the second of a four-game road string for Toronto, which is tied with New England and Columbus on 26 points with two games in hand on each. But sixth-place New York is only one point back in a tight race to finish in the top five and make the playoffs. They could breath easier with three points against a last-place team. As coach Ryan Nelsen put it after the loss at D.C.: "Montreal has become a must-win game for us now." Montreal, which has lost five in row, is less concerned with the playoffs now as it is about turning around a disastrous campaign.The game was originally scheduled for Sunday, but was moved up a day to allow Montreal a breather ahead of its CONCACAF Champions League match Tuesday night against FAS of El Salvador.
