LAWRENCE, Kan. -- There is an old adage, perhaps equal parts truth and cynicism, that maintains that history is written by the victors. But you could say of women's basketball, history is written -- and has been made by -- the persistent.
The facts aren't always as readily available, the stories typically not as well-known. But they are especially meaningful if you get to talk to the people who lived them.
Such was the case Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse, as the women's basketball teams from Kansas and Kansas State met for 117th time. If that's not the longest collegiate women's sports series, it has to be up there.
