| Turnovers plague OSU
Kansas State has gotten an extreme makeover since then because former coach Bob Huggins' presence allowed the school to recruit a whole new breed of Wildcat. KSU (17-5, 7-1), is off to its best start since the 1981-82 season under Huggins' replacement, Frank Martin.
Huggins landed the nation's top high school prospect, Michael Beasley, before scooting off to West Virginia. Huggins also landed another top 10 prospect, Bill Walker, who took a medical hardship last season.
Sutton, after facing Beasley and Walker for the first time, sounded like he was ready to promote them to the NBA. Sutton watched Beasley, Walker and less-heralded freshman Jacob Pullen combine for 54 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists.
"Beasley will certainly be a top five pick and Walker I really think will be a top 15 pick," Sutton said.

Actor Henry Winkler has testified in the trial of a lawsuit against two doctors over the death of actor John Ritter in 2003.
Winkler told Los Angeles County Superior Court jurors Wednesday that he last saw Ritter on the set of the show "8 Simple Rules ... For Dating My Teenage Daughter."
Winkler said that later that night he received a telephone call saying Ritter had died.
The sitcom star died of a torn aorta after going to a hospital where he was treated for a heart attack.
Ritter's family is suing a radiologist who had earlier given Ritter a body scan and the cardiologist who treated him at the hospital.

Sunderland tonic lifts spirits of Liverpool
Liverpool´s midfielder Steven Gerrard celebrates scoring a penalty against Sunderland during their English Premiership football match at Anfield. Liverpool claimed their first Premier League victory since December as three second half goals clinched a 3-0 win over Sunderland. .
Hampton's two-sport career winding down
The Hillary Hampton-Joe Nixon wedding is set for December. Former Catawba lineman Nixon, the son and grandson of football coaches and now an assistant coach himself at West Rowan, is delighted with the timing. There's a potential conflict between the ceremony at Catawba's Omwake-Dearborn Chapel and the scheduling of the 3A state championship game. "Hill can make history, and it would make the greatest story ever," Nixon announced. "Hill can be the ultimate football wife. Get married and then go on to the state championship game — if we make it." With talented tailback K.P. Parks, there's always a chance West will make it, but Hampton, a Catawba senior, isn't thrilled with the possibility of dealing with a two-minute warning to change clothes. Shedding her veil and train while racing from the chapel to support the Falcons sounds as appealing as a five-mile jog at 5 a.m.
The Debriefing: Lynchings Aren't Really a Great Source of Comedy
At some point over the next few days, someone might ask me what the Jaguars have to do to beat the Patriots on Saturday night. And my response might be that they should kidnap Tom Brady, chain him to a pipe in a dark crawlspace somewhere, and have Tony Boselli beat him with a bag of Canadian quarters until the game is over.Now, I don't really want that to happen to Tom Brady (at the very least, the quarters are unnecessary). You know that. People joke like this ... they suggest that the best or only way to overcome a superior talent is if that superior talent is unable to actually compete, and they often suggest an odd or humorous way for that talent to become incapacitated.I joke like this. Friends of mine joke like this. You might joke like this. And The Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman tried to joke like this ...
The rise of British Girl Power
Despite Britain arguably producing some of the world's best bands, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Oasis, outstanding female artists have never really been the nation's forte. Until now. There's a new wave of female talent coming through and these girls are really something to shout about. Leading the way is Amy Winehouse. Although the 24-year-old released her critically-acclaimed debut album 'Frank' in 2003, it was 2006's 'Back to Black' which shot her to global superstardom. For the LP, she teamed up with producer of the moment, Mark Ronson, and her singles, including 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm No Good' and 'Tears Dry On Their Own', were heard on airwaves worldwide. Amy had finally arrived but admitted it was working with Ronson that finally enabled her to fulfil her potential.
Mandisa moves from 'American Idol' to gospel glory
Mandisa has successfully made the transformation from a popular Top 10 contestant on season five of American Idol to a Grammy-nominated Christian singer. She became the first new female artist to debut atop the Christian album charts, and her single "Only the World" was a multi-week No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales Chart.
