Morris twins to enter draft, skip senior years with Kansas

Kansas twins Marcus and Markieff Morris have hired an agent and will forgo their senior seasons with the Jayhawks to enter the NBA Draft.

The forwards from Philadelphia led the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots last season, when the Jayhawks went 35-3, won the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the regional semifinals as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Marcus, a second-team All-American, averaged 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds last season, and Markieff was an honorable-mention All-American after averaging 13.6 points and 8.3 rebounds.

Also: Fresno State hired Rodney Terry as its men's basketball coach.

The hire comes just weeks after Steve Cleveland stepped down to take a job in the athletic department.

Terry had been an assistant under Rick Barnes at Texas the past nine seasons. Terry also had stops at Baylor and North Carolina-Wilmington, among others.

The UNLV football team will appear on The Mtn. seven times this season. Home games against Hawaii (Sept. 7), Southern Utah (Sept. 24), Colorado State (Oct. 29) and San Diego State (Nov. 26), and away games against Wyoming (Oct. 15), New Mexico (Nov. 12) and Air Force (Nov. 19) will be broadcast on the network.

Possible TV broadcasts for nonconference games against Wisconsin, Washington State and UNR have yet to be finalized.

Also: Because of Thursday's high winds, the Rebel tennis team had to move off-campus and indoors to the International Tennis Center, where it dropped a 5-2 decision to No. 36 Brigham Young in Mountain West Conference action. UNLV fell to 12-9 and 1-2 in the league, and the Cougars upped their record to 15-4 and 3-0.
