One day before top-seeded Kansas opens NCAA Tournament play, court officials released an affidavit that said freshman star Josh Jackson threatened to "beat" a women's basketball player during a confrontation in December. Despite the latest news stemming from the December incident, Kansas coach Bill Self remained adamant that Jackson would play in Friday's opener against UC Davis. The incident began inside the bar when Calvert threw a drink at her ex-boyfriend, Lagerald Vick, another Kansas player. During the incident, Kansas women's basketball player Caelynn Manning-Allen told police she tried to restrain Jackson by grabbing his arms and he kicked Calvert's car before she was able to get him away from the vehicle. While saying Jackson has accepted responsibility for the incident, Self said the Jayhawks have "rallied around Josh."
