Kansas contends
for national lab
By joE hunt
Kansas is competing with 11
other states to be chosen as the site
of the $451-million National Bio
and Agro-Defense Facility, initiated
by the Department of Homeland
Security.
If Kansas was selected, the level-
four research lab would be built in
either Leavenworth or Manhattan.
Rep. Mario Goico (R-Wichita) said
that the lab would focus on high
security research of dangerous dis-
eases, some of which could be trans-
ferred from animals to humans.
This allows us to study some
of those dangerous diseases to find
cures, Goico said. Some of those
diseases could be used by terror-
ists, so its a way to make the United
States safer.
The only other level-four research
lab in the country is in New York.
That lab, which is more than 50
years old, would be replaced by the
new lab.
Sen. Roger Pine (R-Lawrence)
said the possible lab project has
received strong support throughout
the state.
Kansas is well known for its
expertise in animal disease and
research, Pine said. There are a
large number of pharmaceutical
companies in Kansas and this would
tie into what they are doing.
Pine said that in Manhattan, con-
struction recently ended on a less-
sophisticated level-two research lab.
He said if Manhattan were chosen as
the location, the government could
use the level-two lab for research
until construction was completed on
the level-four lab.
Goico said that the new lab could
have a huge economic benefit for
Kansas.
If you consider the salaries of
everyone involved, it would be $3.5
billion, Goico said. When you have
an investment of that size, there is a
multiplier effect in that area. That
creates additional jobs.
Eighteen locations in 12 states
will be competing for the new lab.
The federal government will whittle
down the list to five or six this sum-
mer, and the final decision should be
made in about a year.

civil rights
By KAty BLAIR
Growing up in Atlanta during
the 1950s, Bob Shands remembers
most vividly the water fountains, one
white and one beige.
Shands father, a white Baptist
pastor, tried to promote understand-
ing during the
time of segrega-
tion. His cour-
age was Shands
inspiration to
write the book,
In My Fathers
House: Lessons
Learned in the
Home of a Civil
Rights Pioneer.
Shands, KU
alumnus, spoke
about the book
and his familys experiences Saturday
at Signs of Life, 722 Massachusetts
St.
I didnt fully appreciate the
stances that Dad took, Shands said.
I knew what some of his positions
were it was not popular and I
knew we had some danger.
The book focused first on the Ku
Klux Klans involvement in Atlanta
and second on current issues of
prejudice.
Shands said the environment for
African Americans during segrega-
tion was abominable.
Shands said that schoolmates told
him recycled spit, not water, came out
of the African-
Americans beige
water fountain.
His father
stood up to
those prejudices,
and in turn, the
family was open-
ly threatened by
the white com-
munity. Shands
said that drive-
by shootings at
their house were
common. One drive home with his
mother and two siblings became a
race to safety with his siblings and
him laying against the floorboards
of their vehicle as someone followed
them.

Pre-Pharmacy Club
What do you think of anna nicole SmithS death?
by Jacque Lumsden
If you see Hill today, pills tomor-
row printed on a blue T-shirt on
campus, chances are the person wear-
ing it belongs to Pre-Pharmacy Club.
The Pre-Pharmacy Club is a pop-
ular group for pre-pharmacy majors
because it explores all aspects of the
pharmacy career as well as phar-
macy school.
Overland Park sophomore
Meghan Watson, a pre-pharmacy
major, is active in the club. She enjoys
hearing from all types of people
working or studying the profession.
Pre-Pharmacy Club is unique
because not only do you hear from
students and deans in the school
about the application process and
school, but you also hear from peo-
ple currently working in the phar-
maceutical field, Watson said.
Pre-Pharmacy Club meets once a
month on Tuesdays and a different
presenter talks at each meeting. The
pharmacy school dean, associate
deans, students, retail pharmacists
and other types of pharmacists have
been presenters.
The club gives you a chance to
open your mind. It presents new
ideas that most have never thought
of and shows students there are
many more opportunities within
the pharmacy field than just retail,
Watson said.
The club provides knowledge of
the area of study and can be helpful
to those unsure whether pharmacy is
really for them. However, it is also a
great experience for those who know
exactly what they want to do because
the club gives them the chance to see
work in action.
The meetings are fun and inter-
esting because they show aspects of
pharmacy most did not even know
existed, Watson said.
If you are interested in get-
ting involved, contact the Pre-
Pharmacy Club through the Student
Involvement and Leadership Center.
It is a great experience for those
knowing they definitely want to pur-
sue a career in pharmacy, or those
just toying with the idea, Watson
said.

Homemade bombs become new threat
By LARA JAKES JORDAN
ASSOciAtED PRESS
QUANTICO, Va. Kirk Yeager
makes bombs from the stuff found
under kitchen sinks. He does it to
help the FBI defend against what
officials say is the next frontier for
terrorists in the United States.
Ten years ago, peroxide-based
bombs were mostly the work of
young pranksters. But the easy-to-
make yet deadly chemical cocktails
were embraced in the late 1990s
by Palestinian militants and suicide
bombers bent on killing large groups
of people.
Now, Yeager says, the Mother of
Satan explosives are considered the
most likely weapon that terrorists
will use against the U.S., more so
than a nuclear or radiological bomb.
Every serious terrorist group
knows about them and knows how
to make them, Yeager said. The
forensic scientist heads the explo-
sives unit at the FBIs laboratory in
Quantico, Va., about 35 miles south
of Washington.
Bad guys are bombers. You dont
have to have the level of sophistica-
tion to make a bomb that you need to
get nuclear materials, Yeager said.
The bombs are made by mixing
chemicals that are used in common
household items, including hydro-
gen peroxide and paint thinner, and
easily found at drug stores or hard-
ware stores. Experts know them as
TATP, short for triacetone triperox-
ide, and HMTD, or hexamethylene
triperoxide diamine.
Counterterrorist authorities say
terrorists planned to mix a solution
similar to TATP in last summers
thwarted attacks on as many as 10
London-to-U.S. flights leading to
the crackdown on bringing liquids
aboard airlines.
Also, ecoterrorists and animal
rights extremist groups such as
Animal Liberation Front and Earth
Liberation Front are believed by
authorities to use peroxide-based
explosives.
Yeager, 41, who helps solve bomb-
ing cases by investigating the crime
scene debris, is the only U.S. official
who makes TATP and similar explo-
sives in mass quantities.

SAN FRANCISCO A nice
cup of the right kind of cocoa
could hold the promise of promot-
ing brain function as people age.
Medical researchers are seeing
more cases of dementia and are
looking for ways to make brains
work better.
One potential source of help may
be flavanols, an antioxidant found
in cocoa beans that can increase
blood flow to the brain, researchers
said Sunday at the annual meeting
of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
Ian MacDonald of Englands
University of Nottingham reported
on tests given to young women
who were asked to do a complex
task while their brains were being
studied with magnetic resonance
imaging.
Among the women given drinks
of cocoa high in flavanols, there
was a significant increase in blood
flow to the brain compared with
subjects who did not drink the
cocoa, he said.
This raises the prospect of
using flavanols in the treatment
of dementia, marked by decreased
blood flow in the brain, and in
maintaining overall cardiovascular
health, he said.
The next step, MacDonald said,
is to move from healthy subjects to
people who have compromised
blood flow to the brain.
Norman Hollenberg of Harvard
Medical School said he found simi-
lar health benefits in the Cuna
Indian tribe in Panama. They drink
cocoa exclusively.
But the cocoa typically sold in
markets is low in flavanols, which
usually are removed because they
impart a bitter taste, Hollenberg
said. He also said the findings did
not mean people should indulge in
chocolate.
Chocolate is a delight. It can
never be a health food because we
have a calorie problem, Hollenberg
said.
But, he added, in cocoa a lot of
fat is removed from the chocolate.
Hollenberg, an expert in blood
pressure, studied the Cuna because
those who live on native islands do
not have high blood pressure.
He said he found that when
tribe members move to cities, their
blood pressure rises. A major dif-
ference is the consumption of their
own prepared cocoa, which is high
in flavanols. In native areas, that is
all they drink; in cities they adopt
the local diet.
In addition to having low blood
pressure, Hollenberg said, there
were no reports of dementia among
the native Cuna.
Henriette van Praag of the Salk
Institute for Biological Studies
discussed the effects of a specific
flavanol, Epichatechin, in tests in
mice.
She said when that chemical
was added to their food, the mice
showed improved ability to solve
a maze and remembered it longer
than mice without the flavanol. She
said Epichatechin affected the hip-
pocampus, the brain area impor-
tant in memory.
In a study reported a year ago,
older men in the Netherlands who
ate the equivalent of one-third of a
chocolate bar every day had lower
blood pressure and a reduced risk
of death.
The researchers said, however,
it was too early to conclude that
chocolate led to better health. The
men who ate more cocoa products
could have shared other qualities
that made them healthier.
Hagen Schroeter of Mars Inc.,
the candy company that paid for
some of the research reported
Sunday, said that in addition to
cocoa, flavanols occur in other
foods such as fruits, tea and wine
that have been associated with dila-
tion of the arteries.

Actor says technology
means for understanding
WASHINGTON Michael
Douglas says technology is helping
children from across the world
gain a better understanding of
humanitys cultures and religions.
The 62-year-old actor is work-
ing with Global Nomads Group,
which uses technology such as
videoconferencing to link children
across the world to foster greater
understanding.
I think it helps them to un-
derstand and feel more a part of
the world, he said in an interview
broadcast Sunday on ABCs This
Week.
Douglas said the group in 2003
conducted a program with Iraqi
and American students.
It gave American students the
chance to be able to look eye-
to-eye and begin to understand
more clearly Iraqis as human be-
ings, he said.
Douglas won an Oscar for his
role in 1987s Wall Street. He has
also starred in Fatal Attraction,
Trafc and Wonder Boys, among
other flms.
Trumps lawyers request
jury trial for fag violation
PALM BEACH, Fla. Lawyers
for Donald Trump have requested
a jury trial in the legal battle for a
large American fag fying over his
Palm Beach club, Mar-A-Lago.
An amended complaint was
fled Friday in federal court, said a
lawyer for Trump, James Green. It
claims that fnes assessed against
the club since January by fying the
15-by-25-foot fag atop an 80-foot
fagpole $1,250 a day are
excessive.
Town ofcials say the fagpole
violates codes because it is taller
than 42 feet.
Trump has not paid any of the
fnes, Green said Saturday.
He thinks the town is singling
him out and signaling Mar-A-
Lago out for diferent treatment,
Green said.
The town has 10 days to
respond, Green said.
Trumps club hoisted the fag
at the sprawling waterfront site in
October.
In a separate fling Friday,
lawyers asked the judge to send
some issues back to the state
courts. The lawyers allege in
part that Palm Beach ordinances
prohibiting the clubs fag display
go against Floridas constitution,
and that the club should receive
damages as a result.
The amount of damages
Trump is seeking is not speci-
fed in his complaint. Lawyers for
Trump said in previous flings that
any damages awarded would go
to The Returning Veterans of the
Iraqi War.

No one loves freedom of
speech more than journalists.
Especially journalists that sup-
port the KU basketball team.
A little competitive spirit only
brings out the best in people.
However, when deriding a rival,
the scale can go from funny
to inappropriate in one sud-
den movement. For some, that
movement was putting on a
Muck Fizzou shirt.
The University Daily
Kansan recently reported that
the Student Athlete Advisory
Committee is meeting to resolve
the Muck Fizzou t-shirt issue.
As reported, ESPNs College
GameDay made it a point to not
film students wearing the shirts.
Student fans represent the
University to anyone watching
the game on television. Many
students go to great lengths and
absurdities to get on camera.
Seeing yourself or a friend on
ESPN for 0.4 seconds is not only
thrilling but allows automatic
bragging rights for the rest of
the semester. Knowing that
wearing a Muck Fizzou shirt
automatically takes you out of
the running for your five min-
utes of fame should be enough
of a disincentive.
Recognizing your role as a
representative of the University
should be another. We dont
need to take the low road, like
our neighbors to the East.
Grandmothers and little kids
go to the games. Yes, games
are meant for the students, but
those grandmothers may be
alumni. Lets keep it as clean as
possible in the stands, because
Missouri will bring the dirt to
the court.
Its easy to make fun of
Missouris basketball team.
Were a smart campus. There are
some savvy shirts out there. Lets
get a little smarter and more
appropriate with our insults.
Wear the Muck Fizzou shirts
around campus, but make a
costume change when entering
Allen Fieldhouse. We should let
the basketball do the talking and
attract more attention than the
fans wardrobe.

Learn to stand up for yourself
Because I said so. What a lame
excuse. Whats bothersome about
the phrase is most parents take
advantage of it and use it too often.
The executives of Diane Keaton
and Mandy Moores new movie
Because I Said So loved this
phrase so much that they used it for
the title.
I digress. The movie is a great
laugh for anyone who loves a good
chick flick, but its cleverness is
shown in Keatons role as an over-
bearing mother to three grown
women.
The movie focuses on Daphnes
(Keaton) relationship with Milly
(Moore), the youngest of the three.
The more Milly tells her mother to
stop meddling in her life, the more
her mother thinks shes doing the
right thing by pushing her daugh-
ter into a relationship. After all,
Daphne just wants her last single
daughter to find a great guy.
Even though this movie may
have a trite title, it captures the
overbearing mother role perfectly.
Mothers are notorious for relent-
lessly badgering their children. I
dont how many times Ive seen
mothers try to meddle with their
childs love life. If its not trying to
set him or her up with someone
new, its making sure the guy or
girl their childs dating is a suitable
enough match.
We all love our mothers, but
why cant they just get it that were
capable of handling our own rela-
tionships? Luckily, there are a few
simple techniques that can be used
to help your mother stop over-step-
ping her welcome in your life.
Work on establishing boundaries
with her right away. Make sure to be
clear about which parts of your life
you wont discuss with her. If she
tries to bring up one of these sub-
jects, remind her that its off limits.
Learn the following phrase and
dont be afraid to use it: I love you,
but I dont want to discuss that with
you. When she hears you use it
often enough and sees that youre
serious each time you say it, shell
eventually start to respect your
wishes.
Dont roll your eyes at your
mother when shes giving you
advice. Tell her you appreciate her
suggestions on how to live your life
and that youll think about what
shes said, but dont agree to any-
thing she wants you to do. Instead,
covertly change the subject to some-
thing else she enjoys talking about,
like crazy Aunt Sue.
Gain control of your life by seek-
ing approval from yourself instead
of others. When youre self-confi-
dent, your mothers controlling ten-
dencies wont bother you as much.
And lastly, dont let your mother
give you a guilt trip. Youre an adult
whos living your own life, and you
shouldnt feel guilty about living
your life by your own rules.

KU v Nebraska game lacked sportsmanship
As a University of Nebraska
student, I felt it necessary to point
out your programs behavior after
remembering the barrage of letters
from Kansas students the Daily
Nebraskan published about one of
their cartoonists poor judgment
during football season.
After watching the Nebraska-
Kansas basketball game, I was dis-
gusted by the complete lack of class
shown by your program. Why was
it necessary for you to win by 53?
Youre typically a great basketball
team. Youre eighth in the country.
Theres nothing to prove by beating
up on a lesser team.
After Kaun threw a shoulder
to the ribs of Maric, injuring him
to the point he had to sit out, you
took a very comfortable lead for
the rest of the game. Did you run
the clock and put in all your bench
players? No, you pushed the ball up
the court, and shot threes to run up
the score.
I understand that not all schools
have the level of respect that
Nebraskans are known for show-
ing, but unsportsmanlike behavior
is something I expect only out of
Colorado.

University of Nebraska junior
Dole
Institute
ofers
delights
My favorite political science pro-
fessor is always telling us to use our
resources because we will never
have opportunities outside of col-
lege like we do now. This is true at
The University of Kansas. We have
a wide variety of diverse opportuni-
ties at our fingertips. Many groups
offer a unique experience that isnt
merely a supplement to education.
One resource that is underused
by students, staff and faculty at the
University is the Robert J. Dole
Institute of Politics. The institute was
founded by longtime Kansas senator,
presidential candidate and Viagra
spokesperson Bob Dole. My person-
al political ideologies differ greatly
from those of the conservative
senator but, no matter your personal
political persuasion, it is impossible
not to have respect for his efforts to
support civic education.
The institute offers several ben-
efits for the Jayhawk nation. First
is the amazing quality of speakers
and fellows attracted to the insti-
tute. Former President Clinton,
Madeleine Albright, Lt. Gen.
David H. Petraeus, Leonard Pitts,
Jr., Sen. Joe Biden, Phill Kline and
many more have come to the Dole
Institute to share their experiences
and knowledge.
Secondly, the Dole Institute
offers bi-weekly afternoon programs
hosted by both Democratic and
Republican fellows. This semester
the fellows are former Missouri
Governor Bob Holden and FEMA
Florida Recovery Director Scott
Morris. These political power
hours offer students a chance to
interact with and learn from some
of the brightest minds in politics
today. Theyre informal, informa-
tional and interesting. Theyre per-
fect for those of us who like to learn
and network but these study groups
have no tests, no homework and no
stuffy professors.
Students can also directly get
involved in the Dole Institute of
Politics Student Advisory Board. It
is open to all students on campus to
give input to the staff and help with
events.
Never again will you be sur-
rounded with a community of
talented people dedicated to your
education like this. Take advantage
of all the resources available on
campus, especially the Robert J.
Dole Institute of Politics. If you are
not visiting the Dole Institute at
least once or twice a semester you
are not getting the full value of your
Jayhawk education.

Tiffany Williams-Jallow, Shands
publicist and 2005 KU graduate, said
she appreciated Shands courage in
writing about his fathers legacy.
Its an honest look from a white
mans perspective, Williams-Jallow
said. I admire him sharing his
fathers story with the public in plac-
es where he may or may not be very
well received.
Williams-Jallow said hate crimes
were still common in areas of Kansas
City; her father was a victim of vio-
lent racist behavior in Lee Summit
last year.
Shands and Williams-Jallow
agreed that getting the message out
was important to foster communica-
tion about racial issues in the U.S.
They planned to tour the nation
with the book during the next year,
speaking at schools and holding
book signings.
The tour began Saturday in
Lawrence and will continue in
Olathe on Feb. 28.
Beth Belcher, co-owner of Signs

positive influence on the Lawrence
community.
To hear the experiences of some-
one who grew up at that time is an
encouragement to continue the rec-
onciliation process, she said.

gay rights
New Jersey ofers civil unions
Law takes efect today, makes N.J. third state to ofer marriage rights to same-sex couples
By GEOFF MULVIHILL
AssOcIAtEd PrEss
HADDONFIELD, N.J. Diane
Marini used to joke that she was
always the bridesmaid and never
the bride because, as a lesbian, she
thought it was unlikely New Jersey
would ever approve same-sex mar-
riage.
Still, she and longtime partner
Marilyn Maneely campaigned for
gay marriage. They were among
seven couples who sued the state
in 2002 demanding the right to
marry. While their suit didnt lead
to a gay marriage law, it has led to
New Jersey becoming the third state
to offer civil unions to same-sex
couples.
The civil unions law takes effect
Monday and some same-sex cou-
ples are planning ceremonies. For
couples who are not already in civil
unions from other states, however,
there is a 72-hour waiting period
after applying for a license just
like with marriages. A few town
halls around the state planned to
open at 12:01 a.m. Monday so cou-
ples could file their applications.
It will be a bittersweet day for
Marini, because Maneely died of
Lou Gehrigs disease in 2005, more
than a year before the case was
decided.
Im thrilled to have been part
of the whole movement to show
people who didnt know what mar-
riage meant, why it was important,
said Marini, who plans to attend
one couples ceremony next week-
end and probably several more in
the next few months.
The state Supreme Court ruled
in October that New Jersey must
extend all the rights of marriage to
gay couples, but left it to lawmak-
ers to decide whether to provide
those rights in the form of mar-
riages, civil unions or something
else. Lawmakers opted for civil
unions, in part because of opposi-
tion from legislators who objected
on religious grounds to calling it
marriage.
Marini, a construction contrac-
tor, and Maneely, a home-health
nurse, were a couple for more than
14 years after meeting at a spiritual
retreat in Ocean City. Marini, who
had come out as a lesbian in the
early 1970s, saw the retreat as a
vacation.
Maneely, a mother of five who
knew how to cook for a big group,
was there mostly to run the kitch-
en.
It was only after meeting Marini
that Maneely realized she was gay
and sought a divorce from her hus-
band.
Marini restored a home for the
couple and Maneelys five children
in Haddonfield, a well-heeled sub-
urb near Philadelphia.
The couple golfed, went to the
beach, shuttled the kids around and
went to womens and gay rights
marches in Washington.
Their activism increased five
years ago when they joined with six
other couples in the lawsuit.
Toward the end of Maneelys life,
Marini says, they felt shortchanged
because they didnt have the same
rights as married couples.
Marini said, as advocates for gay
marriage have ofen argued, that
the benefts of marriage come into
play ofen when one spouse is sick.
Its a time of emergency, a time of
hysteria, she said. And a bad time
to explain legal rights and status to
hospital ofcials, well-meaning or
not, she said.
food safety
Meat plant inspections to decrease
Agriculture Department to spread resources, inspect plants with lower risks of disease
By LIBBy QUAId
AssOcIAtEd PrEss
WASHINGTON The first
major changes to food inspection
in a decade will increase federal
scrutiny of meat and poultry plants
where the danger from E. coli and
other germs is high or where past
visits have found unsafe practices.
The new policy will result in
fewer inspections at plants with
lower risks and better records for
handling meat and poultry.
Were just putting resources
where the risk is greatest, and those
plants that demonstrate excellent
control will get less of our resourc-
es, said Richard Raymond, the
Agriculture Departments top food
safety official.
To decide the level of scrutiny a
plant should get, the risk-based
system will consider the type of
product and the plants record of
food safety violations.
A plant that makes hamburger
and has repeated violations would
get more inspection. A plant that
makes cooked, canned ham and has
a clean track record would get less
scrutiny.
There are certain food products
that carry a higher inherent risk
than others, Raymond, the under-
secretary for food safety, said in
an interview with The Associated
Press. And there are certain plants
that do a better job of controlling
risk than others.
For now, the new system will
be used in processing plants, not
in slaughter plants. No timetable
has been set for shifting to the new
inspection system.
Critics say the idea sounds good,
but they fear department officials
are rushing a complex new system
into place.
One of the concerns is that this
is simply an effort to save money in
a tight budget year, said Caroline
Smith DeWaal, food safety direc-
tor at the Center for Science in the
Public Interest. We want to make
sure a budget shortfall is not whats
driving these important inspection
decisions.
Raymond says the agencys bud-
get is not driving changes in the
inspection program. Were not
going to save any money on this
part of risk-based inspection, he
said, adding there could be cost-
savings if the changes are extended
later to slaughtering operations.
The risk-based inspection sys-
tem will be the most significant
change to food safety inspections
in a decade. The department over-
hauled inspections in 1996 when
hundreds of people got sick and
four children died after eating
undercooked hamburgers from Jack
in the Box restaurants.
Daily inspections of meat and
poultry plants are required under
current federal laws, which date
back to 1906. Food safety laws
were enacted in response to Upton
Sinclairs The Jungle, which
exposed unsanitary conditions in
Chicagos meatpacking industry.

Jayhawks set to maintain
streak in Manhattan tonight
By MichAEl PhilliPs
Saturdays 92-39 Kansas victory
was certainly impressive, but the
team didnt have much time to feel
good about it.
Before the postgame traffic had
cleared, the players were already
fielding questions about tonights
big game.
The Jayhawks take on the
Wildcats in Manhattan at 8 p.m.,
and theres no shortage of good
story lines. For starters:
Its only the ninth appearance
for the Wildcats on ESPNs Big
Monday since the program began
in 1992.
The Wildcats lost 97-70 in
Lawrence just 12 days ago.
In case thats not enough, Kansas
State coach Bob Huggins guaran-
tees a victory.
Thats when we break the
streak, he said of tonights game
at the Wildcats Madness in
Manhattan rally back in October.
The Jayhawks have never lost at
Bramlage Coliseum, which opened
in 1989.
The Kansas players are familiar
with the prediction.
He can predict anything he
wants, sophomore guard Mario
Chalmers said. When the final
bell rings, well see who wins.
With just one day to prepare for
the game, neither coach has the
luxury of preparing a full game
plan. Instead, theyll stick to the
plays and formations that theyve
been using all season.
Well find out how tough we
are, coach Bill Self said. The first
game wasnt a true indication of
how intense this rivalry is going to
become.
The players are bracing them-
selves for their first game at a pro-
Wildcat Bramlage Coliseum. The
Wildcat fans scooped up all the
seats through season ticket sales.
Theyre hoping that Huggins keeps
his word and puts an end to the
Jayhawk streak.
It will end someday, Self said.
Hopefully we can prolong that
another day.

chael Phillips can be contacted

Witherspoon, red team give
fans a show in fnal minutes
By MichAEl PhilliPs
In the final seconds of Saturdays
game, coach Bill Self gathered his
players and told them to run out
the clock. As the huddle broke,
junior guard Jeremy Case turned
to walk-on and fan-favorite Brad
Witherspoon with a different
plan.
J e r e m y
said to me,
Im going to
penetrate, and
Ill find you.
Be ready,
Wit herspoon
said after the
game.
T h e
result was
Witherspoons
first collegiate
basket and a standing ovation
from the fans that stuck around
to watch.
Indeed, Kansas 92-39 blowout
of Nebraska was so anticlimactic
that the biggest applause of the
day went to the junior guard who,
nearly five months ago, was just
another student on Mount Oread.
After I made it, everything was
just a blur after that, Witherspoon
said. They told me the crowd was
going crazy, but I couldnt hear
anything. I just ran back down the
court.
The prior 39 minutes were a mix
of dominating Jayhawk defense and
off-the-mark Cornhusker shoot-
ing. Nebraska finished the day hav-
ing made just
15 percent of
its three-point
shots and 33
percent of its
free throws.
This isnt
a true indica-
tion of them
at all, coach
Bill Self said.
The snowball
started going
downhill and it didnt stop.
The Jayhawks have defeated the
Cornhuskers twice this season, by
a combined score of 168-95.

A glance at the box score does
not tell much about Sharita Smiths
final game against Kansas State. The
senior guard failed to make a field
goal and only scored four points,
but helped lead Kansas to a 82-74
victory.
B e f o r e
Sundays game,
Smith had
endured seven
consecutive loss-
es against Kansas
State. After the
double-overtime
victory, Smith
can finally add
defeating the
Wildcats to her
resume.
This is a feather in Sharitas cap,
said coach Bonnie Henrickson. She
should feel great about this game.
Smith made her presence felt
on the defensive end. The 5-foot-
8 guard forced Kansas State guard
Shalee Lehning to commit four cost-
ly turnovers.
Smiths biggest defensive stop
came with just more than two
minutes remaining in the second
overtime. Lehning brought the ball
downcourt, looking to trim the
Kansas lead to within four points.
Smith applied defensive pressure at
half court, forc-
ing a turnover
and sending
the crowd into
a frenzy. Kansas
never looked
back and scored
seven consecu-
tive points to seal
the victory.
Smith shoul-
dered most of
the work on the
defensive end,
but she received offensive help down
the stretch on a number of occa-
sions.

game a minute out of halftime on
a short jumper by Wesley Johnson,
but the Cyclones did not hit anoth-
er field goal for nearly six minutes
as Hoskins and Martin scored on
an array of drives, jumpers and
standstill three-pointers.
At one point, the duo com-
bined for 12 straight points as the
Wildcats built a 44-28 lead.
Kansas State led by as many
as 18 in the second half before
Mike Taylor, the Cyclones leading
scorer, finally got on track. Just as
he did in the teams first meeting,
when Taylor scored 21 points in
the last eight minutes, the junior
guard began pouring in 3-point-
ers.
Taylor cut the lead to 55-43
with just over 5 minutes left on a
triple from the wing, but Kansas
State guard Lance Harris answered
at the other end to snuff out the
Cyclones comeback bid.
Taylor had 12 of his team-high
17 points in the second half, as
Kansas States constant pressure in
the half-court forced Iowa State
into season-lows for scoring and
rebounding. Jiri Hubalek finished
with 13 points, but was mostly
silent after scoring his teams first
six.
Harris finished with 13 points
for Kansas State, which had lost
two of its last three and sits pre-
cariously on the NCAA tourna-
ment bubble. The Wildcats have
won nine of their last 11 games,
including road wins against Texas,
Missouri and Iowa State.
But Kansas States postseason
chances could get much better if
it can beat the rival Jayhawks at
Bramlage Coliseum, something
that has never happened since the
building opened for the 1988-89
season. Kansas has won 33 of the
last 34 in the series, including a 97-
70 romp earlier this season at Allen
Fieldhouse.
Kansas State coach Bob Huggins
had warned his team not to look
ahead, though, and it looked for
a while as if they had paid little
attention.
The first half was equal parts
sloppy and scrappy, as the Cyclones
and Wildcats combined for 21 turn-
overs, a plethora of offensive fouls
and each endured long stretches
without a field goal.
Kansas State missed 11 of its
first 14 shots and trailed 14-9 with
about 8 minutes left in the half,
before it was Iowa States turn for
ineptitude.
The Cyclones went 6:06 without
a field goal, and after Hoskins gave
the Wildcats a 15-14 lead with 5:43
to go, they would not trail again
the rest of the way.

Hell defense claimed its biggest vic-
tory yet for Missouri.
Keon Lawrence scored 18 points
and Matt Lawrence added 15 off five
three-pointers as Missouri upset No.
18 Oklahoma State 75-64 Saturday
to give the Tigers their first victory
against a ranked foe under Anderson.
You only get confidence by win-
ning, and thats what it does. It gives
our team some confidence, the first-
year coach said.
The Tigers pulled ahead with an
11-2 run early in the second half, and
the Cowboys (19-7, 5-6 Big 12) were
never able to make a run and extend
their 17-game home winning streak.
Every time they answered us, we
came down and we answered, said
Keon Lawrence, who was 8-for-11
and matched his career-high with
eight rebounds. That was key. We
needed to keep the crowd out of it.
The Tigers are 3-1 since the fresh-
man Lawrence became a starter.
Hes a hard matchup, especial-
ly when you talk about up-tempo
basketball, Anderson said. He was
made to play, I think, attack basket-
ball and it was really on display.
The loss could be a crucial blow
to the NCAA tournament hopes for
the Cowboys, who have lost four of
their last five and dont have a road
win this season. They lost 83-54 at
Texas on Monday night.
Right now, were struggling,
Oklahoma State forward Mario
Boggan said. Were trying to fight to
get in. We need some wins. Right now,
we look at it as were not in there.
It was Oklahoma States first home
loss since Feb. 13, 2006, against
Kansas on the same day former
coach Eddie Sutton announced hed
take a leave of absence following a
drunken-driving accident.
Boggan and JamesOn Curry each
scored 16 and Kenny Cooper added
10 for the Cowboys, who appeared
hesitant against Missouris pressing
defense.
We went through a period of
time where we quit attacking,
Cowboys coach Sean Sutton said.
When a team presses and they do
it all the time, they can sense when a
team gets passive. I thought we went
through a stretch where we got out
of the attack mode and just were try-
ing to get the ball up the court.
For the Tigers, it was their first
win in Stillwater since Big 12 play
began in 1996. Missouri shot 50 per-
cent and was 10-for-18 from three-
point range.
I thought our transition game
really dictated that, Anderson said.
We were attacking and guys were
spotting up. On the road, youve got
to make shots, and we did.
Stefhon Hannah converted a three-
point play off a scoop layup under the
basket, then stole the ball and set up
Keon Lawrences three-pointer that
made it 48-41 as Missouri (16-9, 5-7)
started to pull away. Hannah then had
to go to the bench after picking up his
third foul, but Missouri was able to
stretch its lead to 53-43 following
Matt Lawrences three-pointer and a
two-handed dunk by Leo Lyons.
Oklahoma State cut the deficit in
half with five straight points, but the
Tigers lead was back to 62-52 after
Matt Lawrences fifth three-pointer.
It was 67-56 after Marshall Brown
beat the shot clock with a three-pointer
from the left wing, and Oklahoma State
was never closer than seven after that.
Keon Lawrence hit a driving layup
and a foul-line jumper to extend the
lead to 12 and send the Cowboys
orange-clad fans streaming toward
the exits in the final 2 minutes.
Brown added 12 points for Missouri,
which matched its season-high with 22
turnovers but also forced 21 by the
Cowboys. Matt Lawrence, who was
5-for-7 from three-point range, had
his most three-poiners ever in a Big
12 game.
He was lighting it up tonight,
Keon Lawrence said. We told him,
`Youve got to shoot the ball. When
youre open, dont hesitate. He didnt
hesitate tonight from every-
where.
Oklahoma State used Missouris
game early, getting five steals and
forcing seven total turnovers to build
a 14-3 lead in the first 5 minutes.
Matt Lawrence hit a three-pointer
to start a 12-4 comeback for the
Tigers, and Darryl Butterfield found
Glen Dandridge wide open under
the basket for a layup that cut the
deficit to 16-15.
Matt Lawrence hit another three-
pointer to give Missouri its first lead at
26-25, and the teams traded the lead
four times before Cooper put back
Terrel Harris missed three-pointer
just before the halftime buzzer to tie
the game at 35.

Walking in sunshine
By Evan KafaraKis
Strong pitching and hard hitting
led the Kansas softball team to win
the Sunshine State Tournament on
Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla.
The team finished the tourna-
ment with a 3-1 record.
Day one saw the Jayhawks pit-
ted against the South Carolina
Gamecocks and the No. 22 Florida
State Seminoles.
The Jayhawks lost to the
Gamecocks 3-1 but defeated the
Seminoles 1-0.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys
struck out six and only allowed
two hits in her victory against the
Seminoles.
She hit the game-winning home
run in the bottom of the seventh
inning, giving the Seminoles their
only loss of the season.
The next day, the Jayhawks scored
seven runs in the third inning to
defeat the Jacksonville University
Dolphins, 10-2.
Freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka
picked up her first victory as a
Jayhawk with three strikeouts and
six hits.
After the Jayhawks defeated the
Seminoles and the Seminoles defeat-
ed South Carolina, all Kansas had to
do was defeat Memphis in its final
game.
Kansas did just that, winning
5-2.
Freshman first baseman Amanda
Jobe hit a two-run home run over
the right-field wall in the top of the
second inning to give the Jayhawks a
quick 2-0 lead.
Sophomore shortstop Stevie
Crisosto knocked a three-run home
run the next inning, outstripping the
Tigers 5-0.
Humphreys started the game and
threw for 5 1/3 innings to give her a
4-0 record for the season.
Humphreys, Jobe and Crisosto
were named to the all-tournament
team and Humphreys received the
MVP honors.
I am pleased with the progress
of this team so far considering we
have so many new faces on the
field and have had such limited
practice time outside, coach Tracy
Bunge said. This is another good
step forward for this team and we
look forward to getting better each
weekend.
The Jayhawks (5-3-1) will compete
at the Red and Black Tournament in
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 23 to 25.

Clutch performance
serves up victory
By rustin DoDD
After more than six hours of
back-and-forth tennis, it was fitting
that Saturdays dual between Kansas
and Utah would come down to the
final set.
With the dual tied 3-3 as five
anxious teammates looked on,
junior Stephanie Smith found her-
self down a set to Jessica Carter of
Utah.
Of course there was extra pres-
sure, Smith said. But I like that
pressure. I kind of thrive off of it. It
gets me excited and motivated.
Smith rallied to win the second
set 6-0 and gutted out the third
set 6-2 to clinch the second dual
victory of the year for the Kansas
tennis team.
Kansas started the day strong
by winning two of three doubles
matches, including a sensational
comeback at No. 3 doubles by
junior Lauren Hommell and sopho-
more Yuliana Svistun. Homell and
Svistun trailed 5-2, but rallied to
win 9-8 (6).
That victory clinched the dou-
bles point for Kansas for only the
second time this season.
I feel that our girls needed that
little boost, said coach Amy Hall-
Holt, Getting
the doubles
point, it defi-
nitely lifted our
spirit and kept
up going into
singles.
Sophomore
Edina Horvath
used that
momentum to
quickly dispatch
Leigh Walsh of
Utah, 6-0, 6-0 at No. 3 singles, and
Kansas looked to be in control. But,
when No. 1 singles player Elizaveta
Avdeeva squandered a 5-2 lead in
the third set and lost her match,
and Hommell dropped her No. 4
singles match, the dual score was
tied 3-3 and the stage was set for
Smiths heroics.
Its definitely mentally exhaust-
ing, Hall-Holt said, referring to
the dual that started at 11 a.m. and
ended just before 7 p.m. But Im
really proud of our girls for step-
ping up. Youre out here for hours
and hours and hours and you have
to continue at a high level.
The No. 1 doubles team of
Avdeeva and Horvath continued to
impress by improving their record
to 7-2. Kansas, 2-7 (0-1), also got
strong play from Svistun in singles,
who won her fourth match in a
row.
Yuliana is
just someone
that. Every
time she steps
out on the
court, shes
i mp r e s s i n g
me, Hall-Holt
said.
The victory
was desperate-
ly needed for
a Kansas team that saw its record
drop to 1-7 after a 4-3 loss to BYU
on Friday.

Jayhawks return home from Florida with 3-1 tournament record
vidual NCAA Championships quali-
fication on Friday. Herrmann finished
fifth in the finals of the 100-yard
breaststroke, breaking her personal
record. Short set another record in the
100-yard individual backstroke.
Saturday saw the emergence of two
Jayhawk freshmen. In the 1,650-yard
freestyle, Alicia Casillas finished in
seventh-place while teammate and
Lawrence native Ashley Robinson had
a breakthrough performance finishing
third in the event. Her time of 16:24.76
broke another University record and,
more importantly, raised the strong
possibility of a qualification for the
upcoming NCAA Championships.
Robinsons record-breaking
swim, one of the most surprising
moments in coach Clark Campbells
15 years of coaching, energized the
team as it entered the final stretch of
competition Saturday.
The team was immediately
pumped up for Saturday night after
that, Campbell said. It really got
everyone jazzed.
The Jayhawks return home to
prepare for both the Zone Diving
Championships on March 2 to 4
and the NCAA Championships, held
March 8 to 10.
The University of Texas won the
meet with 931 points. Texas A&M
finished with 930 points, Missouri
with 419, Nebraska with 350.5 and
Iowa State with 325.

Nebraska shut down the Kansas inside game, but at the expense of letting the three-point shooters run wild. As a result, Sherron Collins and company
enjoyed a big day frombehind the arc. Nebraska, on the other hand, struggled fromjust about everywhere, including going 4-for-12 fromthe free-throw
line (not pictured). Junior center Aleks Maric fnished the day 6-for-16 inside the paint for the Huskers. Shot chart information compiled by KU Athletics.

championship team, which included
former North Carolina basketball
coach Dean Smith.
He probably was impressed,
wasnt he? Hell probably be want-
ing to find out what we did, Sadler
said.
What they did was stuff the paint
with defenders to keep the ball away
from the Kansas big men. It was
successful, but that left the Kansas
guards open for three-pointers.
They knocked down 11 of them
and spread the wealth around. Five
players reached double-digits, and
everybody on the team scored at
least two points.
It was a fun afternoon for the
Jayhawks, who were laughing and
having a good time from the first
points of the game to the time they
left the fieldhouse. Self said the
team was loose Friday in practice,
and he was worried about whether
they would have the focus to come
out and play. They did and handed
Nebraska its second-worst loss ever.
Of those 92 points, the most mem-
orable came fromWitherspoon, who
needed redemption after missing his
first shot attempt against Kansas
State. The fans didnt give up on him
and began to chant his name with
four minutes to play in the game.
My friends give me crap and ask
how many people Im paying to do
that, he said. I love it. Its one of the
best feelings in the world.
He wasnt the only one to tally
points at the end. The entire red
team the reserves played the
final four minutes and connected
on most of their shots. Case had
two three-pointers and finished with
nine points, Brennan Bechard made
his three-point attempt and Matt
Kleinmann was successful from the
free-throw line.
Usually theyre just in for a min-
ute or two, so maybe breaking a
sweat loosened them up, Self said.
None received as much applause
as Witherspoon, whose layup pro-
vided a burst of excitement on an
otherwise uneventful day. He said
that since he joined the team in
October at open tryouts, he has been
welcomed by all the players and is
having the time of his life.
Every day I pinch myself, he
said. Its been great.

23-4, 10-2.
Although most dont realize this,
2007 is an important anniversary on
the Kansas-basketball timeline.
One hundred years ago, in
January of 1907, the Jayhawks joined
the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate
Athletics Association their first
conference.
Throughout the years, the name
and the teams in the conference have
changed, but no matter who joins
Kansas league, none have deterred the
Jayhawks from winning conference
titles, and that is a historical fact.
Consider this: If the Jayhawks
win the Big 12 title this year, they
will have won 50 conference titles
out of 100 years of conference affili-
ation. That kind of domination is
nearly unprecedented among college
basketballs elite.
Out of the five other college bas-
ketball powers Kentucky, North
Carolina, Duke, UCLA and Indiana
only Kentucky is on par with
Kansas.
The Wildcats claim49 conference
titles the same as the Jayhawks.
But the Southeastern Conference
went to a divisional format in 1991,
and since then the conference only
awards divisional titles.
In no way does this statistic affirm
Kansas supremacy above all others
in college hoops.
Its more of a suggestion that
Kansas has a lack of consistent com-
petition.
The past four contests have merely
reiterated Kansas dominance among
its neighbors. The margin of vic-
tory against Kansas State, Missouri,
Colorado and Nebraska was 31.75
points per game.
These are the same teams Kansas
has been dominating for years the
ones who cant get their basketball
programs out of the gutter.
The conference lacks competi-
tion, and its almost getting old.
But not quite yet, not until Kansas
wraps up its 50th title in 100 years.
Right now we are tied with A&M
to win our league, sophomore guard
Mario Chalmers said after beating
Nebraska by 53 points. Thats what
we want to do is win the league.
Its going to happen about every
other year unless some real, sus-
tained competition comes along,
specifically in the Big 12 North.
Kansas State, Im looking in your
direction.

It was a rough day for the pre-

Far above the golden valley,

Then, sophomore guard Mario

Hes actually from Alaska.
If statistics were kept for the
number of passes in a game,
Saturdays would rank near the
top of the Big 12 Conference.
Both teams kept the ball on the
perimeter, passing it around
until an open shot was created.
Considering howlong each pos-
session was, its surprising that
there werent more shot clock
violations.
Nebraska coach Doc Sadler has
struggled against Kansas in his
frst year, but has the opportu-
nity to fnish out the conference
season on a high note. The
Huskers last fve games are all
against lower-tier opponents,
with the toughest match-up
being a game against Oklahoma
State. That will be played in Lin-
coln, and the Cowboys have yet
to win a road game this season.
One thing that continues to im-
press me about Russell Robinson
is how well he can play inside
the paint. The junior guard is ob-
viously a terrifc shooter and ball
handler, but he can also contend
for rebounds and create plays
when he steps inside. There
arent a lot of ball-handling
guards who can do that.
The 1952 championship team
reunited at Allen Fieldhouse on
Saturday, including former North
Carolina coach Dean Smith. Kan-
sas coach Bill Self said the team
also visited practice on Friday, and
he was glad that his players and
fans had the opportunity to see
the teamand, in particular, Smith.
I hope that Kansas fans and
students maybe not the
students, because they havent
been alive long enough un-
derstand that KU produced as
good a coach as our profession
has ever had. Period. And were
so proud of that, Self said.
Afternoon games in Allen
Fieldhouse just dont have the
same feel as the night games.
From the sun shining in to the
late-arriving students, things are
diferent when a game is played
during the day. Perhaps thats
because Kansas is on national TV
so often that afternoon games
have become a rarity.
Michael Phillips
By MARK DENT
Dean Smith didnt even see this
one coming.
The former North Carolina
coach and Kansas player, who was
honored at Saturdays game for his
role on the 1952 national champi-
onship team, watched the Jayhawks
practice on Friday. Kansas coach
Bill Self thought his players were
too loose and asked for Smiths
opinion.
I said, Have you ever had a bad
practice the day before a game? Self
said. He said, Yes. A lot of people
think if you practice bad you play
better, but he said he didnt believe
in that. So he had me pretty worried
going into today.
It turned out Self had nothing to
worry about.
Being loose must have been the
best thing for Kansas as it turned in
its most balanced effort of the year
Saturday in a 92-39 demolition of
Nebraska.
All 13 players who entered the
game scored. Six players had nine
or more points, but no one had
more than 13. This balance came
one week after the exact opposite
occurred against Missouri. Kansas
scored the same amount of points,
but against the Tigers, sophomores
Julian Wright and Brandon Rush
combined for 54. Only seven players
scored in that game.
One reason for this point-scoring
parity was the Jayhawks willingness
to pass. Kansas had 25 assists on
35 field goals. The Jayhawks hadnt
handed out that many assists since
a December game against Winston
Salem State.
I thought we played really well,
Self said. We shared the ball very
well.
Kansas couldnt have been so bal-
anced if not for the play of the
bench. Starters Rush, Wright and
sophomore guard Mario Chalmers
all scored in double digits, but the
reserves made the difference.
Our second unit shot the ball
great, Self said. I dont know if Ive
ever been in a game where our sec-
ond group shot the ball so well. You
dont see that very often.
Kansas bench players made 7-of-
13 three-point attempts. Freshman
guard Sherron Collins had three of
those and jumpstarted the Jayhawks,
just as he has all conference season.
With Kansas only up 20-18 with
about seven minutes left in the first
half, Collins took over. He scored on
a layup in transition and made a free
throw to stretch his teams lead to
five. Then, he rebounded a Nebraska
miss, ran down the court and made
a three-pointer. Largely because of
Collins, the Jayhawks had a comfort-
able 14-point lead at half.
In the second half, Kansas con-
tinued to build on its lead because
of its reserves. Freshman forward
Darrell Arthur, junior guard Jeremy
Case, junior guard Rodrick Stewart
and junior forward Darnell Jackson
all scored four or more points in the
second half.
We got Sherron coming off the
bench who gives us a great spark,
then Shady coming off the bench,
Rush said. Our bench players give
us the biggest sparks of the game.
Knowing that the bench could
be counted on to score should help
Kansas considerably in its race for
the conference title and later on in
the NCAA Tournament. In last years
first-round loss to Bradley, only two
non-starters made a field goal. Now,
if teams are able to prevent Kansas
starting five from taking over, sev-
eral reserves could step up.
The confidence the Jayhawks have
in their bench is helping them gear
up for the stretch run of the Big 12
Conference season that starts today
at Kansas State.
Everybodys just trying to focus
in, Chalmers said. Were trying to
win the league. Everybodys trying to
play better every day.

sports 6B Monday, February 19, 2007
By Case Keefer
It has been quite the eight days for
Danielle McCray.
In the final-second victory at
Texas, the freshman forward had
her first career double-double, and
against Missouri Wednesday made
her first collegiate start. But most
importantly, McCray was Kansas
key contributor in a 82-74 double-
overtime victory against Kansas
State Sunday.
The difference in this game was a
young freshman in Danielle McCray
stepping up and making big plays,
Kansas State coach Deb Patterson
said.
McCray had a career-high 25
points, ten rebounds and a surpris-
ing 47 minutes. Early in the season
McCray never saw much playing
time because of a lack in her condi-
tioning and strength skills.
Bonnie always told me get your
conditioning down and youre going
to be a great athlete, McCray said.
It wasnt a coincidence that
Sundays performance came in the
same week McCray won her first
sprint in practice.
Another area she struggled with
was three-point shooting. In the last
four games, McCray shot 4-for-19
from behind the arc.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson noticed
the troubling statistic and addressed
her concerns with McCray prior to
the Sundays game.
I didnt tell her what her numbers
were, Henrickson said, but I talked
to her this morning about why she
hadnt been shooting well.
McCray must have listened.
Against Kansas State, she finished 6-
for-7 shooting from the three-point
line.
I was just ready to take shots and
stayed confident, she said, Everyone
was giving me the ball and believing
I could make plays happen.
Kansas was up by as many as nine
in the first half thanks to McCrays
perfect 4-for-4 from three-point
range.
Although she scored only two
points in the second half, McCray
made sure her contributions were
still noticed. She grabbed five
rebounds, including one with two
minutes remaining that kept the
Jayhawks in the lead.
McCray sealed the Jayhawks first
victory against the Wildcats since
2001 with 2:58 remaining in double
overtime. She hit a three-pointer
from the top of the key to make it a
two-possession game. A minute and
a half later, she sealed the game with
a beautiful nothing-but-net three-
pointer to make the score 81-71.
It was a different story for
McCray the first time Kansas faced
Kansas State in January. She had
a chance to send the game into
overtime but missed a wide-open
two-foot shot at the end of regula-
tion. McCray used the miscue for
motivation Sunday.
I hung my head after that shot,
she said, and I wanted to make up
for it today.
McCray did more than make up
for it. If the Jayhawks hope to win
Wednesday against Oklahoma, they
will need a similar game from the
freshman forward.

Freshman flls personal gaps
would let another game slip away.
When Kansas State went on a 7-0
run to take a two-point lead with
10:17 remaining, the crowd fell silent
and apprehension hung in the air of
the fieldhouse.
From all indications, this game
was going to turn out like the 12
Sunflower Showdowns before it
with a Wildcat victory.
F r e s h me n
guards Kelly
Kohn and Sade
Morris kept
Kansas hopes
alive with a
scoring streak
of their own
in the next few
minutes. Kohn
scored eight
points and
Morris three
during a 10-minute stretch that
kept the crowd on their feet and the
Jayhawks in the game.
I knew I had to step up late in the
game, Kohn said. Beating K-State
is what we were brought here to do.
Its all weve been talking about all
week.
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley
showcased her versatility and offen-
sive ability that has cemented her
among the best guards in the Big
12 Conference. Mosley scored the
Jayhawks final six points in the first
overtime, including a game-tying
layup with 6.3 seconds remaining.
Kansas State could not hold on
to any momentum in the second
overtime, as freshman Danielle
McCrays three-pointer with 2:58
remaining ignited the season-high
crowd of 4,902 and deflated the
Wildcats.
Sundays game was undoubt-
edly the best of
the season for
Kansas, who
is 3-10 in con-
ference play.
Four Jayhawks
scored in dou-
ble figures, and
McCray and
Mosl ey had
double-doubles.
For Smith and
Mosley, this vic-
tory may rank among their most
cherished. In front of a wild home
crowd, the seniors finally defeated
their in-state rivals.
It was wonderful, Mosley said.
It was exciting because Sharita and
I and the team have worked so hard
for this.

ShaquIna MoSLey
Senior guard
Even after Sundays streak-snap-
ping victory against Kansas State,
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson
remained modest about the accom-
plishment.
It feels good to win, she said.
The Kansas womens basketball
coach certainly could have called
the victory the biggest in her three
seasons in Lawrence, but she didnt.
I will.
Sure, victories against a ranked
Texas team a season ago and in the
opening round of the WNIT were
nice, but this was about more than
just headlines. It was a battle for
in-state bragging rights and, more
importantly, recruiting.
For most of her 11 seasons in
Manhattan, Kansas State coach Deb
Patterson has dominated the in-state
recruiting battle. She signed Kansas
natives Kendra Wecker and Nicole
Ohlde, who have both gone on to
fame in the WNBA. Five of the nine
Wildcats on this seasons roster also
hail from Kansas.
The biggest knock on the Kansas
program in the recent past has been
that the Jayhawks have never been
able to compete with the Wildcats.
During the six-year streak in the
Sunflower series, that was certainly
true. K-States average margin of
victory was more than 20 points
per game. With their utter domina-
tion in the series, Patterson and the
Wildcats were able to dominate the
in-state recruiting battle, as well.
Sundays victory could provide the
momentum Henrickson and her staff
need to help turn the tide in recruit-
ing. The Jayhawks already nabbed
the states best player a season ago
when Danielle McCray committed
to Kansas. That addition certainly
played a big role Sunday. McCray,
a freshman forward, finished with
a game-high 25 points, including
six three-pointers and 10 rebounds.
She was, by far, the most dominant
player on the floor all afternoon.
The womens program has had
success with in-state recruits in the
past, the most famous being Lynette
Woodard, a four-time All-American
from 1978 to 1981.
Now that Kansas has finally
ended K-States six-year domination,
another battle is already brewing. If
Henrickson can woo a few more in-
state recruits away from Manhattan,
Kansas just might start a winning
streak of its own in the Sunflower
series.

Any K-State fan will tell you
that a victory against Texas
counts as a major victory, but
they are lying. The Longhorns

want to really soup up their
tourney resume, they need this
one tonight.

Is Kansas state bIg
enough?
Freshmen forwards Luis Co-
lon and Bennett arent good
enough or experienced enough
to hang with Kansas dominat-
ing front line, and guards Cartier
Martin and David Hoskins arent
tall enough. The Wildcats have
to hope foul prone junior cen-
ter Sasha Kaun and freshman
forward Darrell Arthur will make
foolish mistakes and take them-
selves out of the game.

tWo Revenge. Kansas
State is not just going to be
ticked of because of the 97-70
loss to Kansas two weeks ago.
It is also still stinging from the
Nebraska loss last week. Both of
those defeats hurt and if K-State
harnesses its anger the right
way, it could have a big game.

streak has to end at some point.
So many things have gone right
for Kansas the past few years.
This could be the year the scales
fnally tip the other way.
Aside from in-state bragging
rights and a conference cham-
pionship, the Jayhawks have
turned their focus to March and
the big prize. If Kansas goes un-
defeated the rest of the season
and gets some help from top
teams, the Jayhawks could fnd
themselves on top of a bracket

Martin is going to be hungry after only mak-
ing two feld goals against the Jayhawks the
frst time they played. If he has a good game,
anything could happen. Wright is playing some
of his best basketball of the season. He usually
plays best if he gets out to a quick start. Look for
him to try and score on several of the Jayhawks
frst possessions. When Wright establishes him-
self as a dominant scorer, Kansas rarely loses.

offense
The Jayhawk ofense has proved versatile at all posi-
tions so far this season. The guards, led by freshman
Sherron Collins, are able to knock down zone-busting
three-pointers as well as force turnovers and ball-han-
dling errors. The forwards, including sophomore Ju-
lian Wright, have dominated opponents for rebounds
and blocks. Between those two is sophomore guard
Brandon Rush, who is again emerging as one of the
countrys best players.
The only concern is foul trouble for the Jayhawk big
men. Self said that junior center Sasha Kaun and fresh-
man forward Darrell Arthur made some of the foolish-
est fouls.Theyll be needed so the Jayhawks can keep
fresh bodies in at all times.
defense
Kansas defense received a compliment from famed
North Carolina coach Dean Smith, who said it was
even better in person than on television. Defense
has always been this teams forte, and look for that to
continue tonight. Both teams are playing on one day
of rest, and if the Wildcats arent in top shape, the
Jayhawks will play aggressive and press for turn-
overs, which can turn into fast-break points on
the other end.
MoMentuM
Nobodys doubting that the Jay-
hawks are on a roll recently, but the
Wildcats are also coming of a victory,
and theyll have the home-court ad-
vantage. If Kansas is going to quiet
the Bramlage Coliseum crowd, its
going to require an early lead and a
blowout game by halftime. Other-
wise, the Wildcat fans have been
waiting for this game for
too long to go silent early.
Look for a strong start
by Kansas, but dont be
surprised if K-State keeps
it from getting out of
hand.
offense
The fact that guard Jermaine Maybank was Kansas
States leading scorer the frst time these two teams
played says enough about the Wildcats recent ofen-
sive struggles. Maybank, who averages 3.9 points per
game, dropped 26 against the Jayhawks. He had to
step up because leading scorer Cartier Martin, guard
Lance Harris and guard David Hoskins all had sub-par
games. For K-State to not lose by 27 points this game,
Martin is going to have to step up. He never got in the
fow of the game against the Jayhawks, but he has
played well since. Since then, hes scored 25, 22 and 17
points in his teams last three games all above his
average of 16.
defense
The Wildcats have the reputation of being a good
defensive team, but they dont show it on the court.
Kansas State has no trouble shutting down dysfunc-
tional also-rans such as Colorado and Iowa State, but
it cant stop any team that is a serious ofensive threat.
Missouri and Kansas both had strong ofensive perfor-
mances with K-State. Even Nebraska did. Thats right,
the Huskers Aleks Maric scored 41 points against the
Wildcats last week. His whole team didnt even score
that much against Kansas last Saturday. Expect Kan-
sas State to play better defensively than it did against
Kansas the frst time, but dont expect the Wildcats to
allow less than 75 points.
MoMentuM
This game has been circled on ev-
ery K-State student, player and fac-
ulty members calendar since Oct.
13. On that day, Kansas State coach
Bob Huggins more or less told the
fans present at Midnight Mad-
ness the streak would end. Oh
yeah, the streak. Not a single
player on either team was
alive the last time the Wild-
cats beat the Jayhawks in
Manhattan. The players on
Kansas State wont admit
it, but they want to win
this game more than
anything in the world.
Its embarrassing to
lose 24 games in a row
at home to your rival,
and they want it to end.
Tonight, K-State will make it
closer than last time, but the
streak shall continue.
