mrothman@kansan.com Its not what the Jayhawks were hoping for, but theyll take it. Should be a No. 1 seed, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. But were cool with that No. 2 seed. The Jayhawks (27-6, 16-2) enter the 68-team NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed in the Midwest region. Their first matchup is in Omaha, Neb., on Friday night at 8:57 against No. 15 seed Detroit (22-13, 11-7) of the Horizon League. If they defeat Detroit, they will face the winner of No. 7 Saint Marys and No. 10 Purdue. No matter the seed for Kansas, it takes six victories to win a national championship. Coach Bill Self said that while his team hoped for a No. 1 seed, it wont harp on what could have been. Year after the year, the supposedly mighty always fall, so seeds are irrelevant. It never plays out the way that you had envisioned it, Self said. The Jayhawks have been a No. 1 seed the past two seasons, but they

ku fall semester honor roll anounced

The University released the names of about 4,500 undergraduate students last Wednesday who made the honor roll for the fall 2011 semester. The University announced in a press release that the students are from the Lawrence campus and the school of allied health and nursing in Kansas City, Kan. The honor roll comprises undergraduates who meet requirements in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and in the schools of allied health; architecture, design and planning; business; education; engineering; journalism; music; nursing; pharmacy; and social welfare, the release said. Students on the list are from 93 of the 105 counties in Kansas, 40 states other than Kansas, the District of Columbia and 31 other countries. The number is up from approximately 4,400 students who made the honor roll in spring 2011. Students from all schools must meet a certain number of credit hours each semester before qualifying for the honor roll, but exact requirements vary throughout the departments. The full list is available online at http://www.news.ku.edu/2012/ march/7/honorrollfall11.shtml.

Kansas players Thomas robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, Jamari Traylor and Travis releford clap after the Jayhawks were announced as a No. 2 seed in the Midwest regional of the NCAA Tournament. Kansas opens play in Omaha, Neb. on Friday against Detroit. lost to No. 9 seed Northern Iowa in 2010 and No. 11 seed Virginia Commonwealth last year. With all the prestige and national attention of a No. 1 seed, so too comes the pressure of expectations. We kind of felt like we had to win it, Taylor said of those two teams. I think we feel the same way this year, but I dont feel like its on us as much. The Jayhawks werent surprised to hear that the selection committee chose them as a No. 2 seed behind No. 1 seeds Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina and Michigan State. Self briefed his team before the seeds were announced. I told them we blew that by not performing in Kansas City, Self said. In Friday nights Big 12 tournament semifinal at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., Kansas fell 81-72 to the Baylor Bears. Despite defeating the Bears twice by an average of 16 points earlier this season, the Jayhawks said they were tired. They played without the vigor that usually carries them to victories. When we do really guard and rebound, which I think are two key elements of toughness, Self said, our team takes a whole different dimension. Kansas first opponent, the Detroit Titans, started the season 9-11, but finished 13-2 en route to a Horizon League tournament championship. The Titans feature five double-digit scorers and are led by Ray McCallum Jr., the son of coach Ray McCallum Sr. McCallum Jr., who was recruited by Self before he joined his fathers team, averages 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Ray is good enough to play for anybody, anywhere, Self said. Certainly whoever guards him, Elijah or Tyshawn, will have a big challenge ahead of him. The brackets are set. The teams are ready. And no matter the seeds, its on. Its time for March Madness. If we prepare like we want to win and were kind of like an underdog, Taylor said, I think its going to be hard to beat us.

Students can expect to see coalitions setting up tables as today marks the first day passive tabling is allowed. Passive tabling means that candidates running for student body president, vice president and senator seats can only set up tables and talk with a student or distribute campaign materials only if they are approached by the student according to the Student Senate Election Code for the upcoming elections April 11 and 12. Candidates or representatives cant conduct passive tabling inside university buildings except inside on-campus housing and the Kansas and Burge Unions. Violating the rules about passive tabling is considered a minor offense and is punishable with a $25 fine, or a non-monetary penalty deemed appropriate by the Elections Commission, which is the body that oversees student elections. Active table campaigning, in which candidates and representatives can approach students, will not start until April 9. During this period, passive table campaigning can be done in the Art & Design, Marvin, Summerfield, Pearson, Learned, Eaton, Murphy, Stauffer-Flint, Green and Twente halls. If campagining in one of these buildings, only one table per coalition or independent candidate is allowed. Also, tabling cant be conducted in any area where it would substantially obstruct walkways or disrupt classroom environments, according to the election code. Active table campaigning, in which candidates and representatives can approach students, will not start until April 9.

TOPEKA, Kan. Rick Santorum overwhelmingly won the Kansas Republican presidential caucuses on Saturday, bolstering his claim that front-runner Mitt Romney hasnt locked up the GOP nomination. The state GOP projected that Santorum will pick up 33 of the states 40 delegates after receiving more than 50 percent of the vote. Romney, who didnt campaign in Kansas, hovered just above the 20 percent threshold needed to capture delegates and was projected to pick up seven. Weve had a very, very good day in our neighboring state of Kansas, Santorum told several hundred people at a rally in Springfield, Mo. He called the win comfortable and said he was looking forward to claiming the vast majority of delegates. Santorum enjoyed support from some small-government conservatives in Kansas and, more importantly, many abortion opponents who make up a core constituency of the state GOP, including leaders of Kansans for Life. He portrayed

himself as the non-establishment candidate, telling locals that their caucuses were crucial ahead of other post-Super Tuesday contests in the South. Final, unofficial reports from the 96 caucus sites showed Santorum winning 51 percent of the vote compared to Romneys 21 percent.

KAMPALA, Uganda The wildly successful viral video campaign to raise global awareness of a brutal Central Africa rebel leader is attracting criticism from Ugandans, some who said Friday that the 30-minute video misrepresents the complicated history of Africas longest-running conflict. The campaign by the advocacy group Invisible Children to make militia leader Joseph Kony a household name has received enormous attention on YouTube and other Internet sites this week. But critics said the video glosses over a complicated history that made it possible for Kony to rise to the notoriety he has today. They also lamented that

Opposition movement against Putin losing momentum

MoScow A protest rally against Vladimir Putin drew more than 20,000 people on Saturday, far fewer than those in past months as the opposition movement appears to be losing momentum following Putins presidential election victory. Speeches by young activists like 27-year-old Maxim Kats, however, showed that some of the new political energy that has emerged in Russia in recent months is being channeled into local politics and civic activism. Kats and two others in their 20s, who just won seats on municipal councils, were among a number of speakers who called
on Muscovites to get involved in how their city is run, starting with their own neighborhoods. Putin, who was Russias president from 2000 to 2008 and then moved into the prime ministers office to avoid a constitutional ban on more than two consecutive terms, won a third term in the March 4 election with 64 percent of the vote. Because of a change in the length of the presidential term, he is set to return to the Kremlin for six years and would be eligible to run for six more. His decision to return to the presidency infuriated opposition activists who have grown tired of his heavy-handed

American soldier kills 16 Afghanis in village near base

American soldier opened fire on villagers near his base in southern Afghanistan Sunday and killed 16 civilians, according to President Hamid Karzai, who called it an assassination and furiously demanded an explanation from Washington. Nine children and three women were among the dead. The killing spree deepened a crisis between U.S. forces and their Afghan hosts over Americans burning Muslim holy books on a base in Afghanistan last month. The burnings sparked weeks of violent protests and attacks that left some 30 dead. Six U.S. service members have been killed by their Afghan colleagues since the Quran burnings came to light, and the violence had just started to calm down. This is an assassination, an

50-year-old remains of 167 bodies found in cave

MEXICO CITY Mexican authorities have found the remains of 167 people in a southern Mexican cave, and forensic experts believe the remains are at least 50 years old, according to a statement from Chiapas state prosecutors. The statement released Saturday said the remains were found Friday on the Nuevo Ojo de Agua ranch in an area frequently used by Central American migrants traveling north. The statement said there were no visible signs of violence on the remains, which break easily. The statement said authorities will not discard any line of investigation. The remains were discovered stacked atop each other in the cave, said a prosecutors office employee who was not authorized to release information and asked not to be identified. The remains have been moved to the state capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez for examination, the employee said.

intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven, Karzai said in a statement. He said he has repeatedly demanded the U.S. stop killing Afghan civilians. President Barack Obama called the attack tragic and shocking and offered his condolences to the families of those killed. In a statement released by the White House, he vowed to get the facts as quickly as possible and to hold accountable anyone responsible. The violence over the Quran burnings had already spurred calls in the U.S. for a faster exit strategy from the 10-yearold Afghan war. The tensions between the two countries had appeared to be easing as recently as Friday, when the U.S. and Afghan governments signed a memorandum of understanding about the transfer

LOS ANGELES Dennis quaids third wife, kimberly Buffingtonquaid, has reportedly filed for divorce, asking for spousal support and attorneys fees. The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities ... that destroys Quaid the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation, said the divorce filing, obtained by TMZ. The two have a temporary custody agreement in place as well, the website said, giving each party time with the young kids. kimberly reportedly has custody of their main home. quaid was previously married to actress P.J. Soles, divorcing in 1983, and more famously to Meg ryan. He and ryan split in 2001 after 10 years of marriage. quaid relocated to Austin, Texas, last year with Buffington-quaid and their twins, saying, L.A. has been good to us, but at this point in my life Im ready to try something new.

Britney Spears signs on as X Factor judge

LOS ANGELES Looks like Simon Cowell has found his next judge: Britney Spears. After weeks of speculation, the pop star is close to signing on for the second season of Cowells The X Factor on Fox, according to published reports. A spokeswoman for Cowell declined to comment, as did a Fox representative. But Deadline.com says that Spears has been offered $10 million for the gig, which would put her just under

the $12 million that Jennifer Lopez is McClatchy Tribune making at the rival American Idol.

Magic Johnson makes ESPN documentary

MCCLATChy TrIBuNe
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles Lakers legend and entrepreneur Earvin Magic Johnson made The Announcement, an ESPN documentary about his life with a frightening diagnosis, to remind people that HIV and AIDS are still both fatal and preventable. I am not cured, he says at the films end. Director Nelson Georges moving and informative film does that and more. It highlights, among other things, the wonder that was Magic Johnson as a basketball player, the apresmoi madness of L.A. in the 80s, the horror of the AIDS crisis, the value and valor of frankness and, perhaps most important, why, despite all the heartbreak they cause, we still need sports heroes. When he came to Los Angeles in 1979, he not only helped turn the Lakers into a championship franchise, he and his on-court rival Larry Bird of the Celtics helped re-energize a sagging NBA. I didnt drink or smoke, Johnson says, because that would get in the way of winning, but there were other things to tempt me. Other things being the many women who surrounded him, separating him for some time from his college sweetheart, Cookie, whom Johnson would eventually marry. The 1980s were also shadowed by the AIDS epidemic, but the crisis could not have seemed

Married, with a child on the way, he was at the top of his game when a routine blood test in October 1991 for an insurance policy revealed he was HIV positive. Set to play an exhibition game in Utah, he was called home by his longtime agent Lon Rosen and received the devastating news. Then he had to do what he says was the most difficult task of his life: tell his wife. Fortunately, she was not infected, but a second test revealed that the virus had progressed enough that doctors recommended Johnson immediately retire from basketball. So, though others, including Cookie, advised privacy, Johnson called a news conference to announce, in characteristically simple and upbeat tones, that having contracted the HIV virus, he would be leaving the Lakers. But I am going to beat this, he said at the time, with a smile, and Ill see you all again soon.

Military intervention in Iran a possibility A

s the debate over Irans nuclear program continues to intensify, one of two bad outcomes seems increasingly likely a nuclear armed Iran and a war with Iran that may or may not involve the U.S. But is there a way to avoid both? Iran continues to claim that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, including nuclear power and medical research. But over the last decade it has repeatedly refused to give International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors full access to all of its nuclear sites. Although IAEA inspectors have not seen all of Irans nuclear facilities, they have never definitively stated that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Nevertheless, at times, the inspectors have been suspicious of some of Irans nuclear activities. Both the U.S. and Israel as well as the European Union and several countries in the Persian Gulf have concerns about the Iranian nuclear program, but there is no consensus on how to deal with the issue. The U.S. and Israel in particular have been at odds over how exactly to approach the problem. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the U.S. and met with President Obama to discuss the ongoing

problems surrounding the Iranian nuclear program. Netanyahu seems to be beating the drum of war while Obama has been more cautious and willing to let sanctions run their course.

Will the U.S. involve itself in another war? Does Israel have the military capability to destroy Irans nuclear program?

Obama did clarify his stance recently stating that he does not have a policy of simply containing a nuclear armed Iran once it has a nuclear weapon. His stated policy is that he is committed to the prevention of an Iranian nuclear weapon. If Israel does decide to unilaterally attack Iran, several questions remain unanswered. Will the U.S. involve itself in another war? Does Israel have

the military capability to destroy Irans nuclear program? Answers to these questions are critical in Israels decision on whether or not to unilaterally attack Iran. President Obamas more cautious approach and his reliance on sanctions do seem to be taking their toll on Iran. Most notably Irans currency, the rial, has lost more than half its value since September, according to the Economic Times. In a recent interview on CNN, Senator Diane Feinstsein, the chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Iran is one to two years away from being able to create a nuclear weapon. If this intelligence is correct, it may strengthen Obamas position of allowing sanctions to continue to impact Iran before rushing to military action. Last week brought an agreement to resume negotiations between Iran and the permanent members of the UN Security Council along with Germany. There have been no details released about these negotiations, but if all parties are indeed willing to return to the negotiating table, this may be the best way to avoid a military confrontation. For the time being, these new negotiations seem to be President Obamas best option. Preventing

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaks at a ceremony April, 9, 2007, in Irans nuclear enrichment facility in natanz, 186 miles south of capital Tehran, Iran. While much is known about Irans nuclear activities from U.n. inspection visits, significant questions remain uncertain, fueling fears of worst-case scenarios and calls for new Mideast military action. Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon without taking military action against Iran, would certainly be the best case scenario. But Israel is still a wild card. Prime Minister Netanyahu does not appear to be as patient as President Obama. President Obama and defense and intelligence officials need to continue to advise Israel against a unilateral attack while making Iran realize the U.S. is both willing and able to launch a military strike. But this will be easier said than done.

race yourselves, Game of Thrones is coming. At the beginning of next month, the Stark and Lannister families will be back to duke it out on your TV screen or, more likely, the TV screen of your friend who has cable. Note: Ill try to mention as few spoilers as possible, though if youre anything like me, you already got scared and stopped reading at brace yourselves. If youre not already familiar with the series, Game of Thrones, is a fantasy TV show, on HBO, based on the bestselling series A Song of Ice & Fire, written by George R.R. Martin. The first book in the series is titled Game of Thrones, which they then used as the title of the TV show because A Song of Ice & Fire is admittedly kind of stupid sounding. The series mostly focuses on three story lines: a civil war for the throne in the fictional land of Westeros, the maturation of an exiled warrior-princess and the going-ons of a haunted forest in the North. Those are the three main storylines, but dozens more unfold as the series progresses. The books universe keeps expanding with every new volume and the characters travel here and there, and new lands are introduced with their own history and customs. New characters show up, some good, some bad. Some stick around, some leave and show up later. Some get their heads chopped off. Circle of life! Since its premiere, Game of Thrones has gained widespread popularity and critical acclaim, and Peter Dinklage has become an unlikely favorite of nerds everywhere for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. Personally, I have only read the books and am not super familiar with the show, even though I didnt start until well after the series premiered. While

it might be fun to pretend I had some lofty intellectual reason for only reading the books, it was really just that I wanted to know what happens right now. I dont have time for HBO to mount a lavish production, darn it! However, I can say that the second season is shaping up to be even better than the first. Second seasons are often the strongest season of a given TV show, plus the second book had a lot of scenes of Tyrion doing awesome things and, hey, who doesnt like that? If youve only just started the show, then I envy you. Youve yet to experience the joys of the Battle of the Blackwater or Aryas trek through the wilderness. Youve yet to encounter the tedious mess that is the country of Dorne and whatever Briennes whole deal is. Also, at this point, only a couple of your favorite characters have been brutally murdered. Thats gonna happen a lot more as the series progresses. As much as I would love to start watching the show, Im not sure I can re-engage with George R.R. Martins epic series knowing that its going to be upwards of five years before a new installment is released. Five years?! I cant wait that long! I mean, can you guys believe what happened at the end of the fifth book? It was, in a word, bonkers.

got so caught up with my college friends and the life Ive made for myself here that I rarely even thought about the people who helped make me who I am. You can tell yourself that friendships all fade for a good reason, but its far from the truth. People change, but they still stay the same at their core. Ive realized this while clinging to my core group of friends from high school in the midst of Mikes tragedy. Sure, we go off in different directions and make different friends, but it doesnt mean that we no longer can have occasional catch-ups with the people who helped build us. And even though you might not have spoken to your old best friends in years, they mean more to you than they think. From the moment I heard that Mike was in a coma, he consumed my entire mindset. All I could do was worry about how he was doing, remember about what a great friend he was to me and kick myself for letting a friendship like that fade away without even a fight. I realized he still meant the world to me. And I was lucky this time because Mike woke up eventually. There is still time to fully appreciate him and the others Ive shoved to the side over the past few years and fully grasp every thing Ive gained from my brothers death.

Activist focuses on Supporters rally around Paul in visit civil rights history in modern society
hANNAh BARLING
editor@kansan.com Raised in southern Alabama by active members of the Ku Klux Klan, Bob Zellner is the perfect example of an independent thinker; Zellner rebelled against his upbringing to further the civil rights movement. Zellner said that he learned the importance of equality from Zellner someone outside of his family. My boss at the country store was a unitarian universalist, an equalitarian. He taught me not to be racist, Zellner said. The civil rights activist spoke to students Wednesday night about the history of the civil rights movement and why he thinks the fight for those rights still isnt over today. Zellner said he has firsthand knowledge of the work that was done to obtain some racial equality. Zellner said during his freshman year of college in 1961, he was assigned a paper on solutions to the racial problems at Huntington College in Montgomery, Ala. Me and four other students went to our dean and told him that we wanted to meet Dr. King and Rosa Parks to interview them for our papers, Zellner said. Even though the dean warned them they would be arrested, Zellner and his fellow students attended a protest at a local church lead by Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. While Zellner was in the church that day, Rosa Parks gave him simple advice. She came up to me, placed her hand on my left elbow and said, Bob, when you see something wrong, you have to take action. Ill never forget that, Zellner said. After briefly meeting with Dr. King, he assisted us in running away so we wouldnt be arrested. Here we were, five young, white boys who grew up top class, instantly becoming criminals because of segregation laws, Zellner said. Zellner was arrested 18 times in several states for offenses such as breaking segregation laws and inciting the black population to acts of war and violence. Zellner refused to let the law keep him from pursuing equality. The more we got arrested, the more dedicated we became. We knew we could survive and that we were still going forward. We were a very strong collective brother and sisterhood, Zellner said. America must strive for something that gives back to humanity according to Zellner. The Office of Multicultural Affairs sponsored Zellners speech, and the offices associate director, Precious Porras, said she hoped Zellner would send a message to the students. My mind was blown. Hes a living legend. When he said he was in jail with Dr. King, who can say that?, she said. It was incredibly inspiring. Zellner, along with other activists, will lead students on a Freedom Summer ride through the south to relive history. The dates of the Freedom Summer Ride have not yet been determined. If we dont want to go back to (those days) we have to do more than we ever have in these next eight to ten months. We cant sit around anymore, Zellner said. Edited by Caroline Kraft

Accused man arrested for courthouse attack

sEAttlE A man accused in a courthouse attack in Washington state that left a sheriffs deputy with a gunshot wound and a judge stabbed has been arrested. Authorities arrested steven Daniel Kravetz, 34, saturday afternoon at his mothers home in the state capital of olympia, grays harbor County Undersheriff Rick scott said. the gun taken from the deputy during Fridays attack in the small town of montesano and other evidence were recovered, he said. scott identified Kravetz earlier in the

day as the lone assailant in Fridays attack that wounded Judge David Edwards and Deputy polly Davin. Dozens of law enforcement officers had joined the manhunt for him. Kravetzs mother called police to turn her son in after authorities released a flier with her photo and her sons photo saturday, according to the seattle times. Kravetz was the only one in the house at the time of the arrest and gave himself up voluntarily around 1:30 p.m., said olympia police lt. Jim Costa. no one was injured. Why he was at the courthouse yesterday remains a mystery, scott said, adding that his motive is

unclear. scott said his deputies havent had contact with Kravetz since a 2005 domestic violence incident that was handled in grays harbor District Court. more recently, Kravetz made a number of public information records requests related to that incident, he added. in 2008, steven Kravetz was convicted in lewis County of third degree assault and making false or misleading statements to a public servant. he served 102 days on the charges, the Daily World of Aberdeen reported. in that incident, Centralia police sgt. stacy Denham told the seattle times that Kravetz was arrested after he refused to cooperate with police

after being kicked out of a Centralia public library. scott said courthouse witnesses identified Kravetz as the man who was behaving strangely in the courthouse Friday. Around lunchtime Friday, Deputy Davin responded to a report of a suspicious person at the courthouse and confronted a man. During a struggle, she was stabbed with either a small knife or scissors. the judge intervened, striking the assailant, who then stabbed him, authorities said.

HigHest finisH yet

Watching the event from the center of the track, ready for her next attempt in the triple jump, was Andrea Geubelle. After an eighthplace finish on Friday in the long jump, with junior Francine Simpson taking sixth in that same competition for the Jayhawks, the team still had two more chances to add points to their team score. The two events remaining, the triple jump and 4x400 meter relay, were events in which Kansas led the NCAA. Geubelle leaped 4410.25 feet on her third jump of the day. It was a jump that not only broke her own school record and NCAA season best, but it would maintain through the rest of the competition as the best of the day. After Diamond won the 400, I knew that it was up to me to win the triple because thats what I came here to do. Everybody worked hard to perform the way they did this weekend, Geubelle said. I think we surprised a lot of people. The top-ranked Kansas 4x400 meter relay team finished the night in third. The sixth-ranked Jayhawks move into their outdoor season in a few weeks knowing that they were close to winning a team national championship. It is a sign that the hard work is paying off, coach Stanley Redwine said. It was a matter of preparation meeting opportunity, Redwine said of the performance of his athletes and coaches this indoor season, culminating in the runner-up finish. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

mgoodwin@kansan.com Saturday night will likely be remembered as one of the greatest moments in Kansas track and field history as the womens team finished runner-up at the NCAA National Championships. This was the highest finish ever for the program. Sophomore Diamond Dixon sprinted her way to a national title in the 400-meter race with a schoolrecord time of 51.78 seconds on Saturday. Junior Andrea Geubelle then doubled the excitement by winning her own title in the triple jump and giving the Jayhawks two on the night. Dixon won her title in convincing fashion, running the best time in the NCAA this season in her championship heat despite trailing at the 200-meter break. With 100 meters to go, Dixon still trailed Clemsons Marlena Wesh. As the two rounded the last turn, Dixon made her move. She could tell Wesh was slowing down and used the opportunity to run wide into lane two and gained momentum from the downward slant of the track. The move seemed to propel her down the final straight away as she pulled away to an impressive victory. I was just happy it was over because I was really nervous. Dixon said. It had been 16 years since the last womens title in a track event for Kansas. Dixon dropped to her knees, relieved that her hard work had paid off and that she could now be called champion of the NCAA 400-meter dash.

ansas fans probably wont overlook any opponent in March, in large part thanks to the Jayhawks struggles against teams from outside power conferences. Some fans might look at a potential matchup with seventh-seeded St. Marys in the second round and cringe, fearing another early exit to a dangerous mid-major. But dont forget about 15th-seeded Detroit, the Jayhawks opponent on Friday. The Titans have the talent to upset the Jayhawks. Detroit point guard Ray McCallum was a four-star Rivals recruit two years ago, the 12th-ranked point guard in the class of 2010. He chose to stay at home and play for Detroit and his father, Ray McCallum Sr.. McCallum turned down offers from Arizona, Florida and UCLA. Senior forward Eli Holman, a former Indiana University recruit, was removed from the team during non-conference play after an off-thecourt incident. He returned in December and has been a double-double threat for the Titans during their conference season. Holman may not have NBA potential, but he certainly can muscle up with Jeff Withey and Thomas Robinson inside. Fifteenth-seeded teams with two NBA prospects are few and far between. No one else on Detroit will amaze you, but neither does their playing style. The Titans play a little faster tempo than Davidson, a team that scored the most points against Kansas this season, but they dont rely on the three-point shot like the Wildcats. Instead, the Titans attack the basket and try to draw fouls. Free throws account for 25.1 percent of Detroits points which ranks sixth in the nation. The Titans are experienced. Four seniors, two juniors and McCallum play most of the minutes. Perhaps the scariest thing about Detroit is that it might have figured things out at the right time. The Titans went into New Years Day with a 7-9 record. Since then, the Titans are 13-4 with two victories over Butler and one over Cleveland State, a team that beat Vanderbilt in November. I cant say that Im going to write in Detroit instead of KU on my bracket. In fact, I know I wont. But Detroit is no slouch of a 15-seed. Kansas cant just show up and expect to win with superior athleticism and talent. Instead of thinking of this game as a warm-up for the rest of the tournament, Kansas fans should try to think of Detroit as a team like Oklahoma or Texas A&M, one that can hang with Kansas for an extended amount of time. In recent years, Kansas hasnt had to fret about winning its first game in the tournament. If the Jayhawks dont show up against Detroit, they could be heading home early. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

Jayhawks fail to overcome against the aggies

katHleen gier
kgier@kansan.com Tom Petty said it best, The waiting is the hardest part. That is what the Kansas womens basketball team is left with until 7 p.m. tonight. Kansas has won key games and lost ones that will hurt, but the team is hopeful going into the selection show tonight knowing the decision falls into the committees hands. Its going to be hard, but were going to wait and cross our fingers, said junior guard Angel Goodrich. Kansas ended its regular season with a victory against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., a feat that only Baylor had accomplished before them. However, after a first round bye, Kansas fell to defending national champion Texas A&M in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament on Thursday. According to the NCAA website, the committee has access to box scores, game summaries, notes, rankings, polls and the coaches regional advisory committee rankings. Coach Bonnie Henrickson serves on the regional advisory committee, but that does not grant the Jayhawks any assurance. Kansas finished the non-conference season with an 11-1 record the teams best since an 11-0 start in 2005. One of those marquee victories was on the road against Wake Forest where Kansas won by one point in the final seconds of play. Then, Kansas started conference play with a victory against No. 25 Texas in Austin, which started a 5-1 record including an undefeated mark on the road. The Jayhawks started to struggle in the next several matchups going 2-3 before the fateful loss to Kansas State where junior forward Carolyn Davis, a starter and captain, fell, tore her ACL and dislocated her left knee. From there, Kansas finished the season 2-5 to compile an 8-10 overall conference record. Henrickson has referred to the Big 12 season as a roller coaster. The victories are celebrated as momentum and the losses pierce like daggers for the Jayhawks who are hoping to break into the tournament for the first time since 2000. The Jayhawks have worked through two unexpected transfers and a season-ending injury to Davis, but Henrickson said they arent using those as excuses. Its their full body of work, and we have won. We have won without her and we have been in one-possession games without her, Henrickson said. After the loss to Texas A&M, Aggie coach Gary Blair took the podium and attempted to bolster Kansas chances heading into selection. Hopefully, with their RPI and how hard their kids play without Carolyn Davis and not using that as an excuse, thats why that team deserves to go to the dance, Blair said. The Jayhawks have four Top 50 RPI victories and finished conference play with the second-best road record and a six seed in the Big 12 Tournament. Goodrich was grateful for the boost from Blair and hopeful that it would help. I mean, it just shows that other people see how great we are, Goodrich said. Its good that he can do that for us. The Jayhawks plan to watch the selection show together when it airs on ESPNU tonight. Until then, they will continue waiting. Im not sure what it will be like, but I feel like we deserve to go to the tournament, Goodrich said. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

QUotE of thE day

In gardens, beauty is a by-product. The main business is sex and death. Sam Llewelyn, writer

thE MornInG BrEW

recently heard a conversation over what constitutes a real sport. One party argued a sport must have an offense and a defense. Another argued just players, a sense of competition and some coaching is involved. I strongly feel as long as there is some sense of competition then, by golly, youve got yourself a sport. As every sports writer in America will remind you, March is upon us, and the madness is about to begin. Yes, it is March 12. Yes, Thursday marks the beginning of the big dance. But, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a couple alternative competitive spring events for the rest of us.

fact of thE day

The worlds largest cabbage was grown in 1998 by John Evans, a mechanical designer from Palmer, Alas., and it weighed in just over 76 lbs. Evans holds seven world records for growning giant vegetables.

Basketball isnt the only March Madness sport

This very well might be your mothers sport. Her way of finding her center. Possibly just her way to get some fresh arugula for that spring salad. Granted, that head of arugula lettuce may be larger than life think, state fair biggest vegetable competition big. These gardeners take their all-natural, extreme vegetable growing seriously. It is no walk in the park consisting of smelling flowers and listening to the birds sing. This is a war. Mother nature and the gardener must be at peace if the gardener is to have any hopes of being successful. Perhaps the competitive gardener should take up some competitive yoga to find their Zen. This is a sport of love and loss. In one fell swoop the gardener can lose everything. You know that butternut squash you have been checking on every day, all year long? Remember walking out in the storm to cover it with a quilt? Think of all the gallons of water it has soaked up. One lightning strike and it is all over. Nothing left of

Competitive gardening

your prize competitor except a few charred pieces of squashed squash. Do not fret fair March Madness fanatic, your precious basketball is not in danger. These are sports for free spirits trying to get back to their roots, the children of the 90s and the forever hippie at heart. The competition is fierce. The money and time spent legitimate. Be sure to take a break from basking in the iridescent glow of the television. Your team will hopefully be there when you get back. Just take a walk, visit a garden and take a deep breath. Win or lose this basketball season, the world is going to keep on turning. edited by nadia imafidon

the most beautiful and well constructed fashion. The New York Times recently highlighted the USA Yogas national competition. The slide show by the Times shows the athletes with strength and a sense of controlled elasticity. The poses have an elegant ease about them. Even spectators of this sport have a sense of positive energy and repose. It is not your Allen Fieldhouse raucous crowd that is for certain, but it is a competition of peace.

Flexing and contorting their way to a title, competitive yoga is becoming more mainstream. Its not just a sport for your hippie aunt twice removed.Yoga competitions can be likened to gymnastics, as far as I can tell. Competitors are given several minutes to perform a number of poses in

Kansas earns 20th win, breaks school record

aLEc tILSon
alectilson@kansan.com Although the softball team was two outs away from a schoolrecord 18th victory in a row on Saturday, but the victory was far from assured. With Kansas leading 1-0 in the top of the seventh inning, a fielding error allowed a North Florida runner to advance to third base with only one out. But just as she had done throughout the game, freshman pitcher Alicia Pille stopped the threat. Pille recorded two outs and secured Kansas record-breaking win. The emotional victory marked an accomplishment no Kansas team in history had achieved before. We were all scrapping and fighting for that one more win, sophomore infielder Ashley Newman said. Making history meant everything to us. Ive never seen so much fire and passion in everybody when that seventh inning was over. Kansas won all five games to win the Osprey Classic in Jacksonville, Fla. over the weekend and extended its win streak to 20 games. Kansas outscored the opposition 36-7 in three games versus Delaware State and two against North Florida. Newman and junior outfielder Maggie Hull keyed the Kansas offense throughout the tournament. The one and two hitters in the lineup each collected 10 hits, combining for 18 runs, 10 RBIs and five stolen bases. Ashley has been doing phenomenal, Hull said. Its fun batting behind her. It gives our team momentum when she gets on base and makes me want to hit even more. M. Hull Kansas upped its batting average to .325, helped by a 17-run outburst in a five-inning victory over Delaware State on Friday. The pitching staff did its part, only allowing three earned runs in the five games. In two starts, Pille (9-0) pitched 11 innings, struck out 13 batters and did not allow an earned run. She also picked up a save in the teams first game. Sophomore pitcher Kristin Martinez (5-0) threw 11 innings in her two starts. She allowed two earned runs and struck out 11. Weve been really stressing how we need a complete staff, said coach Megan Smith. Its not just one, its not just two who are going to get it done. We need every one ready when we call their names. Despite the undefeated weekend, Smith said the team did not play its best softball. It was not sharp, but seeing all the pieces of the team working together is promising going into conference play next week, Smith said. The team brings its 20 victories in a row back to Lawrence as it prepares to face Missouri in a weekend series beginning Friday. Hull knows such an impressive stretch could not have happened without contributions from every player. The number one thing is theres so many people who can step up in big situations, Hull said. Its comforting to know that if I have an off game, my teammates are going to pick me up and thats what has gotten us 20 straight wins. Edited by Pat Strathman

VcU looks for another ncaa tournament run

rIchMond, Va. Virginia commonwealth is heading west in hopes of getting another run going in the ncaa tournament, and the rams finally will play a fellow mid-major level school. VcU (28-6) is a no. 12 seed and will play fifth-seeded Wichita State (27-5) in the second round in Portland, ore. the game is slated for thursday in the South region. a year ago, the rams were one of the last teams put in the field of 68, and they beat five bcS-level teams in a stunning run to the final four in houston. third-year coach Shaka Smart said a key for his team will be taking what they can from that experience, but remembering what it took to get on the historic roll as well. I think it was a positive to learn from it and the things that brought us success, Smart, now 83-27 in three years at VcU. Its not something we want to dwell on and we dont want to in any way think that last year is going to make us win this year. We still have to go out and earn a victory, just like we did during the regular season. the rams have won 25 of their last 28 games after a 3-3 start, and thats with only one player senior forward bradford burgess who also was a major contributor last season.

no. 1 kentucky falters in conference championship game

aSSocIatEd PrESS
John Calipari said from the time he arrived in the Big Easy that he didnt like conference tournaments. After top-ranked Kentucky endured three tough games in as many days with no league title to show for it, his opinion wasnt bound to change any time soon. I wish this would have happened yesterday so we got home a day earlier, Calipari said Sunday after the Wildcats collapsed late in a 71-64 loss to Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference tournament final. The Wildcats (32-2) won two of their three games in New Orleans but never led any by more than single digits and trailed in the second half of all three. Still, they were on the cusp of extending their winning streak to 25 games when Anthony Davis free throw gave them a 62-55 lead with 5:23 left. Then Kentucky suddenly started settling for jump shots, taking nine from that point and missing all of them, including five from 3-point range. We just went ice cold. There was like a lid on the basket. Nothing was falling for us, said freshman point guard Marquis Teague, who went scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting. It was wide open shots that we normally make. So it was surprising us that we were missing. Some days its like that. Jeffery Taylor scored 18 points, John Jenkins added 17 and Vanderbilt rallied with a 16-2 run over the final 5 minutes to end the Wildcats winning streak that lasted more than three months. Their 24 game winning streak. Their name on the front of their jersey doesnt matter to us, Vanderbilts Lance Goulbourne said. Whoever was in our way, we were going to play as hard as we could to try to win that championship. Festus Ezeli had 17 points for Vanderbilt (24-10), which was playing in its first SEC tournament final since 1951, the year of its only other championship. The Commodores pushed ahead in the final minutes with a few timely shots, but mostly with suffocating defense. Darius Miller scored 16 points in a surprise start for Kentucky while Terrence Jones and Davis both added 12. Davis had 10 rebounds and three blocked shots, but he got into some rare early foul trouble that limited his effectiveness. Kentucky missed its last 14 field goals in all, not hitting one over the final 8:04. The Wildcats shot just 35.9 percent from the field (23 of 64). Maybe now everybody realizes were not invincible, Calipari said. Were like everybody else out there. Were going to have to execute, play hard and with some aggressiveness and intensity or we will get beat. Kentucky moves on to NCAA tournament games that will mean a lot more to them, but it remains to be seen whether LSU and Florida, which both gave the Wildcats tough games, and Vanderbilt, which beat them, provided UKs future opponents with a strategic blueprint. We really wanted to be physical with them because we saw the suc-

kentucky coach John calipari reacts during the first half of an ncaa college basketball game against florida in the semi-final round of the 2012 Southeastern conference tournament at the new orleans arena in new orleans, Saturday, March 10. cess that LSU had and Florida had, Vanderbilt forward Steve Tchiengang said. It was just being physical and try to box them out as much as we can to try to limit their second chance stuff, offensive rebounds, stuff like that. Vanderbilt also attacked the basket offensively rather than relying on jump shots. In the process, the Commodores got Kentucky forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in foul trouble, and he fouled out with 2:51 to go. Kidd-Gilchrist had a pained expression on his face in the locker room afterward, giving short answers in hushed tones and blaming himself for getting in foul trouble and failing to get a single rebound. Still, Kentucky appeared to be taking control when Jones successive powerful dunks put the Wildcats up 54-49 and worked the heavily-pro Kentucky crowd into a frenzy. Vanderbilt worked its way back to tie the game at 62 on Ezelis tip-in with 1:56 left and took the lead for good when freshman Kedren Johnson converted a three-point play on a drive to the hoop. The loss spoiled the Wildcats perfect season against SEC competi-

tion. Kentucky is 18-1 against league foes. Afterward, Calipari assured his team that they would be fine and might even be better off not carrying a long winning streak into the NCAA tournament. Itll get us more focused now, sophomore guard Doron Lamb said.

kcarpenter@kansan.com Tyshawn Taylor said. They came out ready to play and I dont know what we did different. Maybe we werent as aggressive. Baylor eventually won 81-72. The Bears controlled the final eight minutes of the first half and took an eight-point lead to the locker room. They opened up the lead to 13 less than two minutes into the second half of play. An 18-3 Kansas run closed the gap midway through the second half, but it wasnt enough in the end. We didnt rebound the ball, coach Bill Self said. Those are man plays. Even though the battle of the boards was even, I dont think anybody thought that we controlled the glass. I think the perception would be that they controlled it. Kansas stamina was questioned on its second day of back-to-back games. The Jayhawks are noticeably thin with a bench basically consisting of two players. Baylor played as many minutes last night as we did, Self said. I aint buying into that stuff. If youre tired in that particular situation, then the reason youre probably tired is because your mind or your preparation level is such that allows you to be tired. The lack of energy could have been for a number of reasons such as The games outcome may have had little effect on the Jayhawks seed in the NCAA tournament. One thing is certain, though. Kansas will be watching the tournament championship from Lawrence for just the seventh time in its 16-year existence. Self added after the game that if Friday night better prepares his team for NCAA tournament games next week, it would have been a good loss. Taylor said the extra day of rest will be beneficial. He wasnt, however, happy with how they earned that rest. Going forward that could hurt us, Taylor said. Weve got to be ready to play from the jump ball. edited by tanvi nimkar Junior guard Travis releford dives onto a loose ball during the first half of Thursday nights matchup against Baylor at the sprint Center.

While the comforts of Allen Fieldhouse were some 40 miles away, Kansas still held a sizeable advantage in fan support during Fridays Big 12 Tournament semifinal matchup with Baylor in Kansas City. The Sprint Center was a sea of blue with specks of yellow, green, and black mixed in. And being the only team with the entire band, cheerleading squad and dance team present made it seem like a de facto home game for Kansas. They just didnt play like it.

tyshawn taylor, senior guard
Taylor seemed exhausted like the rest of the Jayhawks, but he somehow managed to score 20 points. When his team was desperate for points, Taylor drove to the hoop with conviction, aiming for two points or at the very least, two free throws. like his team, he wasnt perfect. He made a few bad passes and often couldnt keep his typically speedy pace. However Taylor was the best of the bunch. Junior forward Kevin young follows coach Bill self and assistant coach Joe Dooley off the court after congratulating Baylor on their victory over the Jayhawks Friday night.

after thoroughly outplaying Baylor, forward Perry Jones III in the first two matchups between the teams, robinson faltered. He didnt possess his typical mean streak. He was often seen walking around and getting outworked for rebounds, including a key rebound at the end of the game that would have given Kansas the ball down five points, but instead extended Baylors lead to seven.

Brandon Wood scored a season-high 21 points to help No. 8 Michigan State defeat No. 7 Ohio State 68-64 on Sunday in the Big Ten tournament championship game. Draymond Green, who had 12 points and nine rebounds in the final, was named the most outstanding player of the tournament. The Spartans (27-7) claimed their first tournament title since 2000 in a dramatic game that featured 16 lead changes. Jared Sullinger scored 18 points and Deshaun Thomas and William Buford added 11 each for the Buckeyes (27-7), who were denied a third straight title. The teams shared the regularseason title with Michigan. Wood transferred to Michigan State after graduating from Valparaiso last year with eligibility remaining. He received a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately because he entered graduate school. He only started because starter Branden Dawson tore a left knee ligament in the regular-season finale against Ohio State. Buford hit a game-winner with one second left to help the Buckeyes defeat the Spartans 72-70 on Michigan States home court in the regular-season finale to claim a share of the title and prevent the Spartans from winning it outright. Sullinger averaged 24 points and nine rebounds for the tournament. Sullinger committed his second foul with 8:22 left in the first half. At that point, the Buckeyes led 18-17. Michigan State appeared to grab momentum late in the half. A putback by Green and a layup by Keith Appling late in the half gave the Spartans a 34-29 lead. Aaron Craft scored on a putback, then Buford made a free throw after Michigan State coach Tom Izzo was issued a technical foul for disagreeing with a call, and the Spartans led 34-32 at halftime. Sullinger immediately changed things for the Buckeyes, scoring nine points in the first 7 minutes of the second half.

North Carolina comeback fails vs. Florida State

ASSocIAtED PRESS
North Carolinas big comeback against Florida State fell short, leaving the Tar Heels bemoaning the slow start which put them in such a bind. The Seminoles werent missing many early and built a 16-point lead in the first half. North Carolina fought back, cutting the deficit to just one in the final minute before losing 85-82. I dont think we really competed until the second half, said North Carolinas P.J. Hairston. Im more upset just with the fact we didnt come out with the energy we wanted. No. 4 North Carolina played without forward John Henson for the second straight game. Henson, who hurt his left wrist in Friday nights win over Maryland and also missed Saturdays win over North Carolina State, wasnt satisfied with how the wrest responded in pregame drills, according to coach Roy Williams. Williams said he has a better team with the 6-foot-11 Henson, who averages 13.8 points and a team-leading 10.1 rebounds per game. But he said he didnt want the loss blamed on his team missing the starter. I have no problem with my team and the way we competed, particularly the last 12 minutes in a big-time basketball game, Williams said. We gave ourselves a chance. We kept trying to pry the door open and they kept closing the door. They made shots down the stretch. Tournament MVP Michael Snaer scored 18 points the Seminoles made 11 of 22 three-point shots in winning their first Atlantic Coast Conference championship. Florida State (24-9) proved its 33-point blowout of the Tar Heels during the regular season was no fluke. But this one went to the wire, as North Carolina (29-5) nearly came all the way back from a 16-point deficit in the first half. P.J. Hairston missed a tying three at the buzzer. North Carolinas best chance may have come when Florida States Okaro White missed a free throw when the Seminoles led 8382 with 17.5 seconds remaining. Instead of pounding the ball inside, a wide-open Kendall Marshall missed a three with five seconds left. Marshall, who just missed his third straight double-double of the tournament with 15 points and nine assists, tugged at his jersey with his head down as he

The Tar Heels were forced to foul after Florida State came away with the rebound. Deividas Dulkys made two free throws with 3.9 seconds remaining. Marshall, who hit a three-pointer to cut Florida States lead to 83-82 with 30 seconds remaining, defended the shot selection after the game. He noted it was difficult to pass inside to Tyler Zeller, who had his normal double-coverage. We were going to get the best available shot, Marshall said. We executed the play perfectly. Zeller set a back screen and I was able to get into the lane. I kicked it out to Reggie (Bullock). My man and Zellers man both went with Zeller and left me wide open. I might have rushed it a little bit. It would have been nice if it went down, but thats the way the ball goes sometimes. It was the first time since Marylands title in 2004 that a team outside the state of North Carolina won the tournament. Williams said he was encouraged by his teams finish. We didnt get off to a good start, he said. We didnt play well in the first half. We didnt play especially well in the start of the second half, but the last 12 minutes it was the North Carolina team that Ive seen recently and it was the North Carolina team that I like and we want to be. North Carolina couldnt match the Seminoles outside shooting, making only five of 20 threepointers.

Grand slam helps the Jayhawks bounce back

ANDREw joSEPh
ajoseph@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team returns to Lawrence on a winning streak after completing a 2-1 weekend in Minneapolis, Minn. Coming off a disappointing loss to North Dakota, the Jayhawks (87) dropped the first game of the weekend series to Stony Brook 4-0. The losing would stop there for Kansas as the team ended the weekend with strong showings from key freshmen. Coach Ritch Price hoped to see his team grow during the road-heavy nonconference schedule, and the Jayhawks did exactly that this weekend. Playing in our league, if we get beat on a Friday night, you have to respond and play hard the whole weekend, Price said. I was pleased with the maturity we showed. Freshman pitcher Wes Benjamin went the full nine innings in Fridays game two of the doubleheader, but he took a no-decision in the Friday marathon. Benjamin surrendered one run on three hits as the Jayhawks went on to defeat Stony Brook 3-1 in 14 innings. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay hit the go-ahead two-run homer in the top of the 14th, helping freshman pitcher Robert Kahana earn his second win of the season. McKay hit a crucial home run in Kansas comeback bid against North Dakota on Wednesday. Although hes batting just .241, Price has seen significant improvement in McKays approach at the plate. His plate discipline has been a lot better the last four or five games, Price said. Hes not chasing the breaking ball out of the zone and hes not swinging at the first pitch regardless of whats being thrown. Hes made some great adjustments. Kahana pitched five scoreless innings in relief of Benjamin, allowing two hits and striking out a pair en route to the victory. McKay continued his power surge into the Saturday evening matchup with Minnesota. Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan surrendered four runs in the first inning, but the Jayhawks broke out the bats in the second with an eight-run inning. McKay hit a grand slam to give Kansas a 7-4 lead. The Jayhawks would tack on two more runs in the game to earn a 9-4 victory over the Golden Gophers. My swing has felt good, and Im seeing the ball real well, McKay said. My coaches and teammates have supported me through this and allowed me to grow into the player I want to become, and right now my swing is just working for me. McKays grand slam was his third home run in four games and his fourth overall on the season. Even with the sudden success at the plate, McKay is still adjusting to the grind of an everyday player at the college level. Every game coach gives me a chance to play, I get an opportunity to learn and get better, McKay said. Even the games that Im struggling out there, Im still learning how to overcome that adversity to and make changes. McKay and the Jayhawks will look to stay hot as the team makes the second trip of the season to San Antonio, Texas. Kansas opens its play this week in the Irish Classic against Indiana State (11-4) at noon on Thursday. Edited by Pat Strathman

Nugent leads team in Rio Verde Invitational

tgraff@kansan.com
The Kansas womens golf team came from six strokes behind to win the Rio Verde Invitational with a score of 900 this weekend. Senior Katy Nugent led the Jayhawks, tying the tournament record for lowest round with a three-under 68 and finishing individual runner-up. Nugent scored two straight rounds of 76 before finishing one shot behind tournament champion Kristen Hill of Akron. The team got off to a great start this morning and they played steady for the entire round which was key, said coach Erin ONeil. We had three players finish in the top 25 and that usually leads to us having a good team tournament. Katy had an outstanding final round and really led the way for us. Nugents 68 is her career-low 18-hole score. Her second-place finish is also a career high beating her fourth-place finish at the Palmetto Intercollegiate last fall. My short game was really solid all week, Nugent said. I was able to capitalize on some good birdie opportunities today. Ive been able to dedicate more time to golf this spring as my class load is the lightest its been since my first semester at KU so its great to see hard work pay off. Junior Audrey Yowell carded a career-best score of 224 over the tournaments three rounds, putting her in a tie for sixth place. Freshman Nadia Luttner carded a 229 that tied for 18th. Sophomore Thanuttra Boonraksasat tied for 21st with a score of 230, and sopomore Meghan Potee tied for 33rd with a 234. This is a great confidence boost heading into the last part of our spring season, Coach ONeil said. Im very happy to see all of the hard work paying off for the players.

Fatigue plagues Jayhawks in Big 12 loss to Baylor Bears

MAx RothMAN
mrothman@kansan.com The Jayhawks had chances to reach the Big 12 tournament title game, but too often their legs trailed their plan. I was tired, junior forward Thomas Robinson said. I cant speak for everybody else, but I guess we were out of gas. We know our legs were a little tired, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. Everybodys legs were a little tired. Its March. Were playing back-to-back. Maybe it was fatigue. Perhaps too much standing around. Senior guard Conner Teahan called it airheadness. Taylor often moseyed upcourt with the ball, head down, sweat shining from his forehead. Junior guard Travis Releford abandoned Baylor guard Brady Heslip, who then had enough space for his fourth three-pointer. Baylor forward Quincy Acy outmuscled Robinson on a missed free throw to corral a game-clinching rebound. The moments to salvage a comeback were there, just not executed. I thought we played a style that is just good enough to get your butt beat, coach Bill Self said. After No. 3 Kansas (27-6, 16-2) fell 81-72 to No. 12 Baylor, Self easily rattled off a list of his teams miscues. Average energy. Let them pass it wherever they want to, he said. Never dictate a tempo offensively. Crappy traps on the post. Couldnt remember scouting reports. The Jayhawks surrendered 43 points in the first half, a total topped this season only by Missouris 44 at Allen Fieldhouse. Fans may never forget how that game finished. This game, against a skilled Baylor team with the consistency of a blue moon, a team that badly lost twice to Kansas earlier this season, portrayed a less active side of the Jayhawks this time. They come out like a team that lost to us twice, Taylor said. They made sure that it wasnt going to happen again. Baylor forward Perry Jones III attacked the basket and showed his athleticism in the second half. On nearby possessions, Robinson occasionally walked around. On one play, he walked to set a screen, rolled outward and mishandled a Taylor bounce pass. He then shared words with a referee and walked toward the other end of the floor. It wasnt the bouncy, physical Robinson that viewers have witnessed for much of the season. The unusual pace infected several Jayhawks as both scorers and defenders. I know I fell asleep a couple of times, junior guard Elijah Johsnon said. With the loss, the Jayhawks now await the NCAA Tournament. Most players echoed moderate indifference on the idea of getting a No. 1 seed. Johnson said the seed is irrelevant to him because all brackets have weak and tough teams. Taylor noted that hes been on a No. 1 seeded team the past two years and still doesnt have a national championship of his own. Our goal is not to win the Big 12 tournament championship, Taylor said. Its to win a Big 12 championship, which we have. Its to win the national championship, which we still can. Edited by Christine Curtin

Multi-sport Kansas legend Charlie Hoag passed away Thursday evening at the university of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. Hoag was 81 years old. Hoag, a native of oak Park, Ill., attended the university from 1950 to 1953 and participated in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. He played basketball for coach Phog Allen from 1950 to 1952 and helped lead the 1952 Jayhawks to a Big Seven Conference Championship and NCAA National Championship. He tallied nine points and four rebounds in the title-game victory against St. Johns. That summer, Hoag was one of seven Jayhawks on the gold medal team at the olympics in Helsinki, Finland. Hoag was a captain of the 1952 football team and a Big Seven AllConference running back in 1950 and 1952.

Missouri caps off season with Big 12 championship

ASSocIAtED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Missouri is leaving the Big 12 on top. Kim English capped a phenomenal conference tournament with 19 points, Phil Pressey added 15 points and eight assists and the fifth-ranked Tigers beat No. 12 Baylor 90-75 on Saturday night to win their second championship in the past four years. The Tigers (30-4), who led from start to finish, will head off to the Southeastern Conference next year savoring a title in coach Frank Haiths first season in charge. English wound up 29 of 40 from the field in a virtuoso performance in Kansas City, and was named the tournaments most valuable player. Michael Dixon added 17 points, and Ricardo Ratliffe and Marcus Denmon finished with 15 each. Perry Jones III led Baylor (277) with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Brady Heslip scored 14 and Deuce Bello came off the bench to add 13 for the Bears, who were again turned away one win short of their first conference tournament title since 1950. The Bears also lost to Missouri in the 2009 Big 12 title game. Missouris decision to leave for the SEC after this season has drawn outrage from fans of opposing teams because it jeopardized the future of the Big 12. But the Tigers made themselves at home in the Sprint Center, delivering the final punch as they walked out the door. Thousands of fans clad in black and gold even booed interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas when he gave away the trophy, and chants of SEC! SEC! arose in the closing minutes. Pressey also made the all-tournament team along with Jones and Heslip from Baylor. The two teams waged two memorable games during the regular season, Missouri coming out on top both times. The first was an 89-88 victory in Waco in January, when the Tigers made 10 free throws in the closing minute to hold off a furious rally.
