![["Out of Reach"] Senior guard Rodney McGruder catches his breath during the Sunflower Showdown between K-State and KU on Tuesday in Bramlage Coliseum. McGruder has only celebrated a victory over Kansas once in eight tries, as the Wildcats eventually fell 55-59 in a tight game. Although McGruder was the Wildcats' second leading scorer, his 13 points came as a result of 4-for-12 field goal shooting and proved to be too little, too late in the Cats' first loss to a conference rival this season.
