This episode of Run It Back is equal parts frustration, analysis, and hard truth as Jazsmin Halliburton tackles one of the most confusing situations in college athletics—and a sobering rivalry loss for K-State women’s basketball.
The show opens with an impassioned breakdown of the NCAA’s decision to sideline Tess Hill indefinitely after she signed a professional contract overseas that wouldn’t begin until after her college career. Jasmine doesn’t hold back, questioning how inconsistent and ever-changing NCAA rules continue to punish athletes while similar cases across college basketball are handled completely differently.
From G-League players returning to college, to international professionals gaining eligibility, the lack of a clear standard takes center stage—and K-State finds itself caught in the middle once again.
From there, the focus shifts to the court, where the Wildcats suffered a lopsided loss to Kansas in Lawrence. Jasmine breaks down the numbers, the energy gap, and the size mismatch that doomed K-State early, despite a strong individual performance from Serena Sundell.
With Hill unavailable and a young roster still finding its identity, the episode examines how distractions, confidence, and urgency collided in a rivalry environment.
If you’re looking for honest perspective on NCAA dysfunction, K-State’s growing pains, and what has to change moving forward, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
