2019 Big XII Men's Basketball Tournament for Imagn

I had the privilege of photographing the 2019 Big XII Men's Basketball Tournament for the second year last weekend. Those four days at Sprint Center are among my favorite of the year. I grew up a Big XII sports fan, attended a (formerly) Big XII school and love watching how the rivalries unfold and the records don't seem to matter at the end of the season. This year's tournament was great fun and full of nail-biting moments. Here are some of my favorite photos from the first three rounds.

NCAA Tournament Round 1: Penn V Kansas for the Philly Inquirer

Last week I traveled to Wichita, Kan. to cover the first round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament matchup between the no. 1 seeded Kansas Jayhawks and no. 16 seeded Penn Quakers. Sports writers from various publications picked the upset. It was a wild game and the underdogs stole the lead early on. But, Kansas being Kansas, the Jayhawks regained their composure toward the end of the first half and from then on the Quakers couldn't keep up. Here are a few of my favorite images from the trip.

Saturday I wrapped up a four day, nine game marathon photographing the 2018 Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament at the Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City, Mo. for USA Today Sports Images. It was exhausting and maddening and a BLAST. Here are a few of my favorite images from the extravaganza (down from almost 10k shots):
