Kansas State’s Barry Brown (5) scored 18 points in helping Kansas State knock off Kansas Tuesday night 74-67.

Kamau Stokes (3) was getting the ball into Dean Wade. Jr. Forward Xavier Sneed (20) hits for three from the outside.

Dean Wade (32) was good at hitting the short jump shot. So far this year it has been a disappointment for Kansas Coach Bill Self. Manhattan Free Press Thursday, February 7, 2019 1414 Kansas State beats KU 72-62 in OT

Who cares? Not Pelosi, who was the white-clad backdrop to every Trump word uttered during his first address to a joint session of Congress under divided govern- ment. With a smirk and an eye- roll , she set the tone for the new lawmakers who flipped the House from Republican control and elected her to lead them. Postponed a week, the evening began without the cus- tomary opening of the speaker pounding the gavel, calling the chamber to order and present- ing the president. Pelosi stood at the lectern behind Trump, gavel on the desk in front of her, apparently ready to perform the task as her Republican prede- cessor, Paul Ryan, had done be- fore. But instead of allowing the introduction, Trump began de- livering his speech. Pelosi, sec- ond in line to the presidency, sat. Had she been offended, asked Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y. in a Wednesday meeting? “Who really cares,” she replied, according to an aide in the room granted anonymity to discuss the private session of House Democrats. “I do want to applaud our entire caucus for the decorum. I thought you were very, very respectful of the office that he holds, respectful President Donald J. Trump is greated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before he delivers his State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol, of the position that we Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
