Keyshawn Hall capped the trip with a career-high 40 points in a 95-89 victory over Arizona State on Tuesday night, giving the Knights a split on their five-day, two-game excursion and their second Big 12 road win.
The Knights (12-4, 3-2) looked every bit a potential contender as they prepared for another test against No.

Miami Police Chief Manny Morales told reporters Thursday that the suspect first beat one man near a downtown train station before heading down the street to batter another homeless man.
