Kansas City Local Pulse: Big 12 Tournament Action and Spring Weather Ahead
from Kansas City Local Pulse · host Inception Point AI
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Thursday, March 5th. We kick off with big sports news heating up our city today. The Kansas Jayhawks womens basketball team faces Colorado in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament second round at T-Mobile Center, tipping off at 9 AM. Our Jayhawks, sitting at 19-12, average 73 points a game and just beat UCF 56-35 yesterday, while Colorado comes in strong at 20-10. Tickets start at 26 dollars, so grab yours for this downtown showdown. Over in Chiefs land, we traded elite cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Rams yesterday for the 29th overall draft pick, shaking up our secondary as reported by KCSN and Fox Sports. Patrick Mahomes, recovering from his ACL tear last season, shared fire emojis on social media thanking Texas Tech for honoring his jersey in their hall, keeping our spirits high for next years run. Shifting to city hall, council approved a new traffic calming plan for Ward Parkway near Loose Park, adding speed bumps to cut accidents by 20 percent and make walks safer for families. Weather wise, mild 52 degrees with scattered showers this morning could dampen commute on I-70, but clearing by noon with highs near 60 and sunny skies ahead, perfect for outdoor plans. New business buzz includes Black Label Society rocking the Uptown Theater last night and Dancing with the Stars Live hitting T-Mobile Center tonight. Job market shows about 5,000 openings citywide, up 10 percent from last month per local listings, especially in tech near the River Market. Real estate heats up too, with median home prices around 320,000 dollars, and 150 new listings in Johnson County this week. On the crime front, police arrested two suspects yesterday in a carjacking near 18th and Vine, recovering the vehicle safely, with no injuries reported. Schools shine as Lincoln College Prep won their state math bee, and Blue Springs beat Liberty 65-52 in boys hoops semis. Looking ahead, catch the Crossroads Music Festival Saturday at Knuckleheads Saloon. And a feel good story, volunteers at Harvesters packed 10,000 meals for families at their Northland warehouse, reminding us were stronger together. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates. This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
