LAWRENCE
Ali Farokhmanesh’s first-ever trip to Lawrence and Allen Fieldhouse went pretty much as he expected: a few people noticed him, but not many.
“I look like every other guy out there,” he said with a laugh, “so it’s not really like it stands out.”
Farokhmanesh was on Nebraska’s bench for Kansas’ 89-72 victory on Saturday, serving as the Huskers’ director of player relations and development.
For KU fans, his full name often is interrupted with a curse word. He was the Northern Iowa guard who hit the biggest shot in the Panthers’ 69-67 victory over the Jayhawks in the 2010 NCAA Tournament’s round of 32.
