COLUMN 3
Loss provides good chance to regroup
Just more than two years ago, the Jayhawks
traveled to Stillwater, Okla., and were upset by the
Oklahoma State Cowboys. It was a terrible game for
Kansas from the start. The teams ofense never got
going and the Cowboys hung on for a 61-60 victory.
It looked as if the Jayhawks hopes of winning
the National Championship were fading fast. The
loss dropped Kansas to 24-3 overall and 9-3 in Big
12 play after the team had won its frst 20 games of
the season. The Jayhawks were having another really
good year, but it looked as if they could be heading
for a disappointing fnish in the NCAA Tournament.
But it turned out that the loss at Oklahoma State
might just have been the most important regular
season game for the 2008 team. The players met
up for a meeting with no coaches the next day and
the rest is history. After the meeting, Kansas won its
next 13 games and the National Championship and
fnished 37-3 for the season.
Just four days ago, the Cowboys upset No. 1
Kansas again, this time by a score of 85-77. Although
this years team is not in a mid-season funk like the
2008 squad, it does present an opportunity for the
Jayhawks to regroup just like the team did two years
ago.
As the Jayhawks prepare for the most important
stretch of their season, Saturdays loss provides the
team with even more motivation to take care of
business tonight and get on a roll as it heads into
postseason play. Coach Self will have no shortage
of topics to discuss in the flm room and the players
can learn from their mistakes to be ready for the Big
Dance.
The NCAA Tournament is very unpredictable, but
one thing is certain: The team that wins it all has to
be playing well at the right time. During some games
this season, Kansas has looked like the best team in
the country. At other times, like Saturdays game, the
Jayhawks have looked very vulnerable. No matter
how you look at it, Kansas will have to get on a roll to
win the National Championship.
Its probably not time for a players-only meeting
or even a special speech from Coach Self. Hopefully
Saturdays game was just a bump in the road on
the way to a 15-1 record in Big 12 play. With two
tough regular season games remaining, at home
against Kansas State tonight and on the road against
Missouri, the team will no doubt be fred up and
ready to play.
The 2008 team realized that it had to get better
and make a change if it was going to reach its goals.
The players knew they had a great team, but they
were not satisfed with having a really good season.
I think this years team will learn the same lesson.
With the senior leadership of Sherron Collins, the
Jayhawks should be able to fgure out what it will
take to fnish as the best team in the country.
Its not so much about which team is ranked No.
1 for most of the season as which team gets hot at
the right time. This years team is good enough to
beat anyone, but the players must realize that they
have to peak during the NCAA Tournament. The
2008 team did, and I think this years team will do the
same.
It sounds strange, but maybe a loss at Oklahoma
State could end up being one of the best things to
happen to the Jayhawks this season.

The Wave spoke with junior guard Tyrel Reed
on Thursday afternoon. Heres what he had
to say about golf, his exercise science degree
and woodworking.
CG: I saw your nickname in the media guide
was T-Squeeze. Where does that come from?
TR: Really nothing. I didnt have a nickname
when I got here my freshman year, so Darrell
Arthur gave me the nickname.
CG: I also saw you had a hole-in-one this
summer. What club did you hit?
TR: 171 yards, seven iron. Little downhill, out
in Colorado.
CG: Right in? Two hops?
TR: It took one bounce and rolled in.
CG: What was the bigger thrill: the hole-in-
one or winning at Kansas State?
TR: Winning at K-State. Id rather have basket-
ball thrills because I can have golf thrills the
rest of my life.
CG: Are you fnishing up your degree this
year?
TR: Im fnishing up my classes this year. Ill be
done with classes. I just have to do an intern-
ship and then basically graduate and have a
semester where I just play basketball.
CG: Are you looking forward to that?
TR: For sure, for sure. Just relax and focus on
basketball and enjoy being in college.
CG: Is it pretty tough balancing practice and
school?
TR: My majors pretty demanding. Im taking
an exercise biochemistry class and just some
crazy ones that I never thought Id be taken
in my life. I just try to get through them as
best as I can and focus on basketball as well.
CG: Whats your favorite three-point shot to
take?
TR: I like the corner threes. Anytime with
the buzzer is always good. Used to love the
top of the key but since I got to college, the
corners kind of been my spot.
CG: Do you have a favorite shot from your
career?
TR: Not really. Ive made a few big ones;
nothing that big. I enjoy the buzzer or just a
crucial time in the game.
CG: I saw you put woodworking as one of
your hobbies on your media page. What kind
of things do you make?
TR: In high school, I carved a Jayhawk with
my hands. Ive made a bunch of cofee
tables. I made a bar for my house, made an
entertainment center in my house.
CG: Do you like having your sister (Lacie
Reed, a basketball manager) with the pro-
gram?
TR: Shes right there. Shes all right. I love hav-
ing my sister here. Its really been a blessing.
A lot of college kids dont get to see their
siblings that much and I get to see her every
day. It hasnt been awkward or anything. The
guys have been great about it.

West Virginias DaSean Butler, center, is guarded by Darnell Wilks in the frst half of their game against Cincinnati on Saturday. Butler
and the Mountaineers are preparing for a big matchup against Villanova this weekend.
The Wildcats have been struggling lately
in the tough Big East, but they are still ca-
pable of playing with the best teams in the
country. West Virginia has been inconsis-
tent this season, but the Mountaineers will
be ready to play at Villanova. Both teams
are fghting for the No. 2 seed in the Big
East Tournament, and West Virginia would
like nothing more than to spoil Villanova
senior point guard Scottie Reynolds fnal
game at home. The Wildcats will have to
contain West Virginia forwards DaSean
Butler and Devin Ebanks to pull out a big
win against the Mountaineers.

The 2010 NCAA Tournament is just
a few weeks away, and its never too
early to start thinking about which
teams will earn this years top seeds.
The Wave editor Scott Toland projects
the top four seeds in each regional.
CONNECTICUT VS.
NOTRE DAME
The Huskies have really been playing well after
coach Jim Calhoun returned to the sidelines.
Although they are 17-11, they have the talent
to play with anyone, but they cant aford to
lose on the road to a Notre Dame team that is
also on the bubble.
PURDUE VS.
PENN STATE
The Boilermakers prospects for a No. 1 seed look
a lot diferent after losing forward Robbie Hum-
mel for the season. They still have a chance to
win the Big Ten, but they know it will be tough
without their best player. Saturdays matchup
against Penn State is a must-win road game.
NORTH CAROLINA
VS. DUKE
This rivalry doesnt mean nearly as much this
years as it has in years past, but anything can
happen when the Tar Heels face the Blue
Devils. North Carolina will probably not make
the NCAA Tournament, but a win at Cameron
Indoor Stadium could make its season.
SYRACUSE VS.
LOUISVILLE
The Orange rolled past Villanova last weekend,
but they still have some unfnished business to
take care of with the Cardinals. Louisville upset
Syracuse earlier this season, and the Orange
are ready to get revenge to fnish the Big East

Nov. 11, 2007
In an early season match-up against UMKC, Collins sprained his left ankle. He
later had surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot and he missed six
games in the non-conference schedule.
April 7, 2008
Everyone remembers Mario's shot. But without Col-
lins, Kansas may have been denied the schools third
National Championship. Down seven points, Collins
swiped the inbound pass, and buried a clutch three-
pointer from the corner. After Derek Rose made one
of two free throws to put Memphis up three, Collins
dribbled furiously up the foor before handing the ball
of to Chalmers. You know the rest.
March 10, 2008
Despite battling injuries that forced him to
have surgery after the season, Collins was
named the Big 12s Sixth Man of the Year as
voted on by the leagues coaches.

THE WAVE MARCH 3, 2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FEATURE 10
Sherron Collins has flled the role of brilliant-point-guard-from-Kansas admirably, following in the footsteps of Mario Chalmers, Russell
Robinson, Aaron Miles and Kirk Hinrich and, well, the list goes on. Now, The Wave looks at whos next up to run the show for the Jayhawks.
WHOS GOT NEXT?
Tyshawn Taylor
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 180 pounds
Year: Sophomore
In Short:
Kansas has often played a two point guard
system in recent years, even going back to the
start of the decade, when Hinrich and Miles
started alongside each other. This has been the
case for most of this year, with Taylor, a natural
point guard, playing alongside Collins.
Taylor will likely fll the same role next sea-
son, but thanks in part to his incredible quick-
ness, he could become the Jayhawks primary
ball handler in 2010-2011. Taylor has been an
enigma at times for Kansas, but has also fashed
brilliant potential.

What they say:
Tyshawn is a guy who makes plays you cant
coach. Hes a diference maker from a speed
standpoint and that kind of stuf. I think weve got
to get more out of Tyshawn moving forward for
us to have a chance to do what we want to do.
Coach Bill Self

Thats what Tyshawn is, is speedy and crafty
and he can get in the lane and hit all those of-
balance shots. Then Coach always gets mad, and
then it goes in and he claps.
Sherron Collins
Elijah Johnson
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 183 pounds
Year: Freshman
In Short:
Johnson is the best athlete on this list.
Check that. Hes the best athlete on the team.
The high-fying freshman from Las Vegas has
become a fan favorite with thunderous dunks.
The most notable instance occurred against
Texas Tech, when he elevated past his man for a
ferocious slam.
Johnson would have received legitimate
minutes on most teams this year, but with Kan-
sas depth at guard, he only started twice. In his
frst career start, Johnson played just 15 minutes
and had 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, three
rebounds, an assist, a steal and no turnovers.

What they say:
Elijah could be the Cole of 2008. Bide his
time, bide his time Thomas could be also and
then when they get an opportunity, make the
most of it.
Self on Johnson and Thomas Robinson.

Elijah can really handle the ball. Hes so
athletic. He reminds me of Mario a little bit, but
also has a little street ball swagger to him.
Cole Aldrich, drawing comparisons between
Johnson and Mario Chalmers
C.J. Henry
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 205 pounds
Year: Redshirt freshman
In Short:
If Henry can stay healthy, he has shown
phenomenal athleticism and played mistake-free
basketball in limited action. Hes also a lethal
marksman from outside, hitting on 55 percent of
his three-pointers this year.
Henry was originally a Kansas recruit in 2005,
but signed a contract with the New York Yankees
after being selected in the frst round of the
draft. Since then, hes spent four injury-plagued
years in the minors, sat out with injuries for one
year at Memphis, then transferred to Kansas to
play alongside his brother, Xavier.

What they say:
Xavier, deservedly so, gets a lot of credit. And
the reason C.J. hasnt gotten the credit is because
hes kind of been out of sight the last several years.
But out of sight doesnt mean that he cant play.
I really believe were going to be pleasantly sur-
prised with the impact hell have on our program.
Bill Self
People will see when they come watch us
play. They wont be like Oh, hes my brother.
Theyll say, Thats C.J.
Xavier Henry
Player to be named later
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Year: High school senior

In short:
Despite having just one verbal com-
mitment for next season, the Jayhawks
are in contention for several other
highly-touted players, including the top
two point guard prospects in the class of
2010.
Brandon Knight, a 6-foot-3,
185-pound guard, is the No. 1 overall
prospect and has a reputation as an
exceptional basketball mind.
The Jayhawks are in Knights fnal
three, along with Connecticut and
Kentucky.
Kansas is also after Josh Selby, a 6-2,
183-pound guard, who is the No. 4 recruit
in the country. Selbys fnal four schools
are Kansas, Kentucky, Connecticut and
Arizona.

By Jayson Jenks
jjenks@kansan.com
Back then - back when Sherron Collins was still a diminu-
tive sophomore spark off Kansas bench - he delivered the
biggest performance in the biggest game of his career.
At least to this point.
During his 142 games so far at Kansas, Collins has ac-
counted for plenty of noteworthy moments in important
victories. But his performance in the 2008 National Champi-
onship against Memphis sits atop the list simply because of
the games magnitude.
With slightly less than two minutes remaining in regula-
tion, Collins stole the inbounds pass and tossed it to Mario
Chalmers. Seconds later, Collins buried a three-pointer from
the wing to cut Memphis lead to 60-56.
Then, as the final seconds disappeared off the clock in
regulation, Collins rushed the ball up the court before leav-
ing it for Chalmers, who buried what coach Bill Self described
as the biggest shot in Kansas history.
Collins scored 11 points against Memphis, but more
than any statistical benefit, Collins contributed in two of the
nights game-changing plays. In his four years at Kansas,
Collins ability to make such plays has developed into the
expected.
He stepped his game up and hit a big shot and was a
huge part for us in that championship year, former Kansas
guard Russell Robinson said. He just did his part and look,
hes one of the best players in the country now.
While Collins involvement in Marios Miracle stirs the
most emotional response, his steal and subsequent three-
pointer are equally - if not more - important in the games
fabric.
Without the steal and save to Chalmers - and without
Collins high-arcing three from the corner - there is no last-
second shot from Chalmers.
I just wanted to come out and do what we needed to do,
Collins said after the game. I did what Coach told me to do.
Chalmers described Collins role on the final play from a
slightly different perspective.
Sherron kind of fumbled the ball, Chalmers said after the
game.
Still, theres little doubt that Kansas wouldnt have forced
overtime without Collins late-game contributions.
Now, as he prepares for the stretch run of his senior
season, Collins role in the NCAA Tournament could be vastly
different from that of the 2008 National Championship game.
Then again, the same principle of simply making a play still
sticks with Collins today.
His role is to be the guy to make plays, Self said. The dif-
ference would be this year hell be on the shooting end of it
as opposed to passing if were ever in that situation.
Sherron Collins drives into the lane against a Memphis defender in the 2008 National Champion-
ship game. Collins made the pass to Mario Chalmers to set up the game-tying three-pointer.
AT A GLANCE
It was a good one in Manhattan when
these two teams battled, and the
Jayhawks came away with an epic 81-
79 victory. This is a massive game for
Big 12 supremacy. Kansas (27-2, 13-1)
has a two game lead in the Big 12 and
the only ones capable of grabbing a
share of the regular season title is 24-
4, 11-3 Kansas State. It is senior night,
and Sherron Collins is only one senior,
but hes an important one. No matter
what happens during the game, it will
be a night worth remembering for
Collins and the fans.

QUESTION MARK
Can the Jayhawks keep one
from becoming two?
That was the theme in the locker
roomafter the loss to Oklahoma
State: Howdo the Jayhawks prevent
another slip-up? For one, they have a
home game in an arena in which they
have a 58-game win-streak. Second,
the game is against K-State and the
home crowd is going to be intense.
The Wildcats are one of the top fve
teams in the nation, so they arent
pushovers by any means. Still, there
are a bunch of signs pointing to the
Jayhawks having a solid game.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE
I will have my teamready toplay.
Well be inthe right mindset.

GAME DAY 13
Big Jay will cheer if
The Jayhawks come out on fre. Bill Selfs teams usually
respond well to a loss, and tonights game should be no
exception. Expect to see Kansas bring the intensity against
Kansas State right fromthe opening tip.
Baby Jay will weep if
Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente play well early. Kansas
States two star guards did not have good games against
Texas earlier this season and the Wildcats still pulled out
the win. If Clemente and Pullen are hitting their outside
shots, the Wildcats could have a real chance of pulling of
the upset.
Prediction:
Kansas 87, Kansas State 63

Sherron Collins, guard
This is it: the last hurrah. Championships
aside, this fnal game in Allen
Fieldhouse will be the most emotional
of Collins career. Everyone remembers
last time the Jayhawks played Kansas
State and he hit the essential game-
winner in overtime. Collins only had 16
points that game, but chances are he
will try for something astronomical in
front of his home fans this time.
Collins
Tyshawn Taylor, guard
Heres a guy who needs to
forget about Oklahoma State.
Eight points in 23 minutes is
not going to cut it. Nobody
could get anything going on
ofense andTaylor has the
ability to change the game
around with his speed and
penetration. If he did get
close in Saturdays game, it was a missed lay-up.
Xavier Henry, guard
Aside fromCollins, he probably
had the best game for the
Jayhawks at Oklahoma State with
17 points. He was a little somber
after the game, but the freshman
has not experienced the taste of
defeat other than at Tennessee
this season. On the positive side,
Henry is on his sixth consecutive
solid outing, hoping to make tonight number seven.
Marcus Morris, forward
Morris was a complete non-
factor against the Cowboys,
spending much of the game
in foul trouble and eventually
fouling out. He would have
been more efective had he
made more than four of his
nine free throws, contributing
to 10 points. The fve turnovers
just added to the disaster.
Taylor
Henry Morris
Cole Aldrich, center
Aldrich was pressured immensely by
Oklahoma State. He had a distinct
size advantage against the smaller
opponents, but only played eight
minutes in the second half. He
wasnt in foul trouble and he wasnt
exactly playing poorly, but Self
didnt have a clear reason for why
the big man sat on the bench for so
long. Maybe hes just resting Aldrich for Kansas State.
Aldrich
Sixth man Brady Morningstar
Nobody took
Saturdays defeat harder
than Morningstar. He was
not a man of many words,
but one could assume
why. If you watched the
game, you did almost
as much, seeing that he
didnt have a point or a
rebound in 16 minutes of action.
Morningstar
Jacob Pullen, guard
Pullen has gone relatively
cold in his last seven games
(and by relatively, I mean
scoring belowhis season
average in six of them, but still
in double-fgures in all seven).
Hes still liable to go of for a
big night at any time though,
as evidenced by his 28 points
on 9-of-14 shooting at Texas Tech last Tuesday.
Pullen
Dominique Sutton, guard
Sutton is, according to Bill
Self, as good an athlete
at the three as there is in
the entire conference. Hes
proved Self right by doing a
little bit of everything well,
averaging 7.7 points and
5.5 rebounds. Through 24
games, Sutton didnt hit a
single three, but has hit over ffty percent from
long range in his last four games (5-of-9).
Curtis Kelly, forward
Kelly has matured over the
course of the season froma
streaky, inconsistent player to
a consistent double-double
threat. Hes scored in double
fgures in the Wildcats last
eight games dating back
to a six-point performance
when Kansas visited Bramlage
Coliseum and has posted
two double-doubles in that stretch.
Denis Clemente, guard
Clemente, in contrast to Pullen,
has been on fre lately. Hes
scored 21 or more in four of his
last seven, including a 30-point
performance in the Wildcats
defeat of Iowa State. Clemente
is becoming the lethal scoring
threat that most people thought
he would be at the onset of the
season. Hes also averaging 4.4 assists in that span.
Clemente
Sutton Kelly
Luis Colon, forward
Frank Martin continues to put Colon
in the starting lineup despite himnot
producing at a consistently high, let
alone consistently mediocre, level.
For all his size, Colon has yet to post a
double-fgure scoring night and has
pulled down 10 or more boards just
once, against Cleveland State. Despite
starting every conference game for
Kansas State, he averages only 15 minutes per.
Colon
Sixth man Jamar Samuels
Samuels is a more accurate
option of Kansas States No. 2
big man behind Curtis Kelly.
He averages 23.4 minutes and
11.9 points per game. Of all the
Wildcat posts in the last Sun-
fower Showdown, Samuels
had arguably the best game,
but thats not saying too much.
He tallied just 11 points and three boards.
Samuels

AT A GLANCE
Since losingtothe Jayhawks inover-
time, theWildcats have done nothing
but win, rippingof eight straight
victories andclimbingtoNo. 5inboth
polls. They are similar toOklahoma
State inthat they have a pair of guards
inPullenandClemente (a la James
AndersonandObi Muonelo) whocan
be devastatingif they get hot. If that
pair goes of, Kansas couldbe staring
straight downthe barrel of its second
consecutive loss. TheWildcats front-
court, though, is outmatched. Cole
AldrichandMarcus Morris bothhad
double-doubles last time the teams
met, despite early foul trouble.
PLAYER TO
WATCH
Senior guardDenis
Clemente
Last time around
Pullen got the
nod as the player
to watch for Kan-
sas State, but its
probably best to
just keep an eye
on both of them.
Clemente is often
knocked for his fery demeanor,
which can sometimes get the better
of him, but hes a dangerous scorer.
Since being held to just fve points
by Texas, Clemente has been a
monster ofensively for the Wildcats,
averaging 18.5 points per game.
QUESTION MARK
CanKansas States bigmen
keepthe Kansas frontcourt in
check?
Last time around, Kansas main big
men, Marcus Morris and Cole Aldrich,
dominated the Wildcats frontcourt,
both posting double-doubles de-
spite being limited by foul trouble.
Samuels, Kelly and freshman Wally
Judge need to do a better job con-
taining the Kansas bigs if they want
any shot at winning.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
When we won in Manhattan I
told our staf, They will not lose
again. When we play them theyll
have three losses. And thats
exactly what has played out.

Griner, Bears
too much for
Jayhawks
on the road
Freshman center Brittney Griner and the Baylor
Bears proved to be too much for the Kansas Jay-
hawks on Sunday afternoon in Waco, Texas. Baylor
defeated Kansas 70-47 behind Griners 20 points, four
rebounds, and 10 blocks.
The Jayhawks were held to just 36.2 percent
shooting for the game. Forward Carolyn Davis led
the Kansas efort with 15 points and seven rebounds.
Guard Sade Morris and forward Aishah Sutherland
each chipped in six points.
Kansas trailed by 12 points at halftime before be-
ing outscored 35-24 in the second half of play. The
Bears shot 43.8 percent for the game and cashed in
on all 13 of their free throw attempts.
Baylor improved to 21-7 and 8-6 in the Big 12
with the victory. Guard Shanay Washington also
scored 16 points for the Bears and dished out three
assists.
With the loss, the Jayhawks fall to 15-12 for the
season and 5-9 in Big 12 Conference play.
The Jayhawks will play the Nebraska Cornhuskers
at 7 tonight in Lincoln, Neb.
The Cornhuskers are 27-0 and are in frst place in
the Big 12 standings.

Kansas falls
against
Cowboys
The No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks couldnt hold of James
Anderson and red-hot Oklahoma State, as the Jay-
hawks were handed their frst conference loss of the
season by the fnal tally of 85-77.
Anderson was an unstoppable force despite playing
through back spasms that started the day before the
game at a Cowboys practice. He led all scorers with 27
points.
The Cowboys staked themselves a 16-point halftime
lead, and only briefy let the Jayhawks within double-
fgures.
Oklahoma State controlled every facet of the game,
outrebounding the Jayhawks 36-26 despite not hav-
ing a player taller than 6-foot-8 for the entire game. Of
course, its dif cult for anyone to pull down rebounds
when the opponent isnt missing.
Anderson & Co. shot 60.4 percent from the foor,
the highest percentage the Jayhawks have allowed
in just shy of two decades. Forwards Matt Pilgrim
and Marshall Moses, the only true post players in the
Oklahoma State rotation, combined to shoot 12-of-12
for 26 points and 13 rebounds.
Obviously we werent good ofensively today by any
means. We couldnt make a basket when they got their
lead,coach Bill Self said. So in those times, thats when
youve got to guard. And obviously our toughness level
defensively today was very, very poor and that can hap-
pen in the tournament in a one-and-done deal.

Weston White/KANSAN
Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor elevates for a three-point bucket Saturday afternoon. Taylor shot two-of-two from three for eight points.
Big 12 Player of the Week
James Anderson, Oklahoma State G
Anderson was unstoppable Saturday as he
found the basket in a variety of ways to lead
Oklahoma State to a big upset of the No.
1-ranked Jayhawks. He shot 9-of-19 from the
feld, including 4-of-6 from long range, for 27
points to go along with eight rebounds. It was
a completely dominant performance, and likely
locked up the Big 12 Player of the Year award for
Anderson.
Big 12 Newcomer of the Week
Matt Pilgrim, Oklahoma State F
Pilgrim has been brilliant at times for Oklahoma
State, but has never been very consistent.
Last week, he missed the Cowboys 69-59 loss
at Texas, then rebounded to have a monster
game in their upset of Kansas, who had been
unbeaten in conference play. Pilgrim hit 8-of-8
shots and both free throws against a usually
dominant defensive frontcourt. He fnished
with 18 points and six rebounds.
Big 12 Team of the Week
Oklahoma State
The Cowboys needed to win just one of a brutal
stretch of three games at Texas, against Kan-
sas at home, and at Texas A&M to essentially
lock themselves in as an NCAA Tournament
team. After falling at Texas on Wednesday, they
pulled of the upset of top-ranked Kansas in their
next game, all but clinching what should be a
seventh berth in the NCAA Tournament for the
Big 12 Conference.

GAME TO WATCH
Kansas vs. Kansas State
The Jayhawks look to fnd their
footing after taking their frst loss
in conference play at the hands of
Oklahoma State. Its senior night in
Allen Fieldhouse, with the winningest
player in Kansas history, Sherron
Collins, taking his fnal curtain in the
historic arena against in-state rival
and No. 5-ranked Kansas State. When
asked if he was going to cry at senior
night, Collins answered succinctly:
Waterfalls. The Wildcats will provide
a big challenge for the Jayhawks. Point

Quick Hitters
If Kansas loses out and Kansas State
wins out, the two teams would tie at 13-3
in conference with losses to Missouri,
Oklahoma State and each other.
With Kansas 13-game win streak bro-
ken, the longest streak in the Big 12 is
Kansas States seven-gamer. Next is Bay-
lor, which has won two straight games.
Texas guard JCovan Brown was injured in
the Longhornsloss to Texas A&M. Brown
is the third Texas point guard to sufer an
injury this year, and is listed as day-to-day.
Texas continued its slide, splitting
games against Oklahoma State and Texas
A&M and falling out of the rankings for
the frst time this year.
Oklahoma States victory on Saturday
stopped the Jayhawks bid to be the
second team to go undefeated in Big 12
history.

Wildcats win tough one against Tigers
By Ashley Dunkak
K-State Collegian Monday, March 1
MANHATTAN In front of a packed
crowd at Bramlage Coliseum, No. 6 K-State
overcame 18.8-percent shooting in the frst
half and pulled out a gritty 63-53 win over
Missouri.
Missouri coach Mike Anderson attributed
the diference between this meeting of the
teams and the previous one to free throws
and taking care of the ball. He also men-
tioned the Tigers were missing several key
players, but said it was not any excuse.
You can play defense until youre blue in
the face, Anderson said. But youve got to
be able to score.
The game began fast, furious and physi-
cal and a little on the wild side. The Wild-
cats got of to a quick 4-0 run to start, but
the Tigers quickly amassed an 11-1 streak
of their own, thanks to their omnipresent
backcourt pressure, which aided in several
steals and appeared to disrupt the ofensive
rhythm of the Wildcats early.
Missouri sophomore guard Kim English,
who would fnish with 13 points, was re-
sponsible for seven of those early 11 points
for the Tigers. For the majority of the half,
the Wildcats struggled to score; initially, their
only ofense came from forays into the paint
and resulting free throws. They struggled
there as well, unable to get consistent
penetration and even getting called for an
ofensive goaltend. They seemed to have lost
faith in the mid-range jumper and largely
went for three-pointers or layups.
Around the 10-minute mark in the frst
half, K-State began to improve. The team
had some good defensive possessions, and
while it did not convert on those as it could
have ofensively, K-State slowly clawed its
way back.
Theyre a very good defensive team,
said Missouri senior guard J.T. Tiller. They
stay up in your grill and play defense just like
we do.
By John Marshall
Associated Press Saturday, Feb. 27
MANHATTAN The Wildcats watched
the frst half of top-ranked Kansas loss to
Oklahoma State and knew they had an
opportunity. Instead of grabbing it, they
missed one shot after another against Mis-
souris pressure defense, putting together
their worst shooting half in 14 years (18
percent).
But the Wildcats didnt slump their
shoulders, didnt let Missouri run away with
it. Relying on defense, Kansas State broke
out of its funk at least partly and took
control with a 15-2 run early in the second
half. The plucky team held on down the
stretch to keep alive its slim hopes of tying
rival Kansas for the Big 12 regular season
title.
The Wildcats have their most wins since
1987-88 and can take another step Wednes-
day in Lawrence, where Allen Fieldhouse is
sure to be rockin for what could be the big-
gest game in the history of one of college
basketballs most heated rivalries.
Our team understands this could be
our big push for the Big 12 championship,
said Kansas States Jacob Pullen, who had 11
points. We get to go to KU and we have our
destiny in our hands.
Missouri won the frst meeting between
the cross-state rivals on Jan. 9 with gritty
defense and had Kansas State on its heels
early in the rematch. The Tigers just couldnt
sustain it and struggled to make shots
against the Wildcats relentless pressure
without forward Justin Saford, who tore his
ACL against Colorado on Wednesday.
Kim English had 13 points and J.T. Tiller
added 11 for Missouri, which was 4 for 18
from 3-point range and shot 31 percent
overall to lose its sixth straight in the Little
Apple.
We just played unaggressive, said Mis-
souris Keith Ramsey, who had 10 points and
eight rebounds. We stopped attacking and
we werent playing with each other like we
normally do.
Kansas State wasnt a whole lot better.
The Wildcats shot 4 of 17 from three-point
range and 33 percent overall, getting 10
points and 10 rebounds from Curtis Kelly
and a 14-point efort from Jamar Samuels.
It was ugly from the start.
Missouri typically causes problems with
its full-court pressure, forcing opponents
to speed up and play out of control in what
it calls The Fastest 40 Minutes in Basket-
ball.
An underrated part of the Tigers defense
is in halfcourt sets. Theyre quite good there,
too, as Kansas State found out.
Theyre trying to win something, Mis-
souri coach Mike Anderson said. Theyre
in the hunt for something, just like we are.
I thought it was just a basketball game
between two good defensive teams that are
familiar with one another.

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS

Upset of Kansas boosts NCAA hopes
By Jef Latzke
Associated Press Saturday, Feb. 27
STILLWATER, Okla. Students rushed
onto the foor, jumping up and down and
hoisting Keiton Page as they celebrated a
historic win for Oklahoma State.
The bottom line for the Cowboys: Were
a tournament team now, forward Obi Mu-
onelo said.
James Anderson scored 27 points, Page
was perfect on four three-point tries at
crucial times and Oklahoma State denied
a bid by No. 1 Kansas to go undefeated
through Big 12 play with an 85-77 victory on
Saturday.
The Cowboys moved to 3-1 against top-
ranked teams all time at home and likely
removed any doubt of whether they would
make the NCAA tournament for a second
straight season. Despite entering the game
in seventh place in the Big 12, Oklahoma
State had an RPI of 33.
It was the Cowboys frst win against a No.
1 team since beating Oklahoma on Feb. 4,
1989, and the landmark victory came in the
same season the program got its frst road
win over a top 10 team in 52 years.
Teammate Fred Gulley headed toward
the safety of the scorers table as fans spilled
out of the student sections along both
baselines. But Page was right in the middle
of it all.
That was a great feeling, Page said.
I was claustrophobic. I was getting hot,
so when they picked me up, I got a little
breather. I was pretty excited when they did
that. I thought I was going to pass out there
for a little while.
The Jayhawks had won their last 13
games since losing at Tennessee to close
nonconference play and sufered their sec-
ond loss of the season just hours after No. 2
Kentucky also lost to the Volunteers.
The last time the top two teams lost on
the same day was Jan. 21, 2006, when No. 1
Duke lost to Georgetown and No. 2 Florida
lost to Tennessee. Both of those teams were
17-0 at the time.
Sherron Collins had 22 points to lead
Kansas moving past Kirk Hinrich, Dave Ro-
bisch and Paul Pierce into seventh place on
the schools career scoring list but he also
matched his season-high with six turnovers.

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS TEXAS LONGHORNS
Aggies serve Longhorns
a decisive defeat, 74-58
By Laken Litman
Daily Texan Monday, March 1
COLLEGE STATION, Texas With about
two minutes until tipof, Texas forward Dami-
on James walked over to Texas A&Ms student
section and ripped up a Beat TUsign. He was
relishing in the Aggies rowdy atmosphere,
smiling and hooking his horns while warming
up with a confdent swagger.
Two hours later with just more than two
minutes remaining in the game, the Long-
horns were down 74-58 while James got his
ffth personal foul. A record crowd of 13,717 at
Reed Arena chanted, Left-right-left-right, as
they watched James walk to the Texas bench.
Then, as he was about to take a seat, the
fans yelled Sit downin unison.
James face had said it all. Texas all-time
leading rebounder scored just 12 points and
got only one rebound in Texas 74-58 loss.
When Texas beat Texas A&M in the begin-
ning of January, James scored 26 points and
grabbed 12 rebounds in the 72-67 overtime
win.
Im disappointed. Im embarrassed,Texas
coach Rick Barnes said. Its hard because its
my team. There is nobody to blame but me. I
should say its our team, but Im in charge of
it. Its probably, for whatever reason, as poor a
coaching job as Ive ever done. I havent got-
ten the message across consistently.
Texas A&M came out fying from the frst
whistle, and Texas was never able to take
the lead. The Longhorns showed a glim-
mer of hope early in the second half as they
narrowed the Aggies lead to fve points. But
A&M, who out-rebounded Texas 40 to 29,
made crucial ofensive boards that set the
tone for the rest of the game.
Were better than what were playing,
Barnes said. I told them after the game, I just
want to see them prove they have some fght
in them.

Aggies knock off rival Longhorns, 74-58
By Beau Holder
The Battallion Monday, March 1
COLLEGE STATION, Texas After a loss to
Baylor in which they fell behind by 13 in the
second half, Texas A&M came out Saturday
hoping to avoid a similar defcit against the
rival Texas Longhorns.
No. 22 A&M surged to a multiple-pos-
session advantage on the strength of senior
guard Donald Sloans three-point shot and
the stellar play of freshman forward Ray
Turner and didnt bother to look back, cruis-
ing to a 74-58 shelling of archrival Texas.
The win came in front of a crowd of
13,717, the largest ever to attend a game
at Reed Arena. It was the third attendance
record set during the 2009-10 season.
I think the fans have fallen in love with
the way we play,coach Mark Turgeon
said. He added that the coaching staf
has worked hard to draw the fans to the
team and indicated it seems to be paying
dividends.
Though both teams started sloppily, the
ice fnally broke when Sloans three-pointer
went through with 11:20 elapsed in the frst
half; the lead grew to 16-9, and the Aggies
were of and running.
The No. 21 Longhorns never led and nev-
er got within fewer than fve points again.
Sloan, who came in averaging 18.1 points
per game, scored 19 for the Aggies. Sopho-
more forward David Loubeau fnished with
15 points and seven rebounds.
Turners nine points included a stretch of
six straight for A&M beginning with 10:24 left
in the frst half that swung momentum and
turned a 7-7 tie into a 13-7 lead.

Oklahoma suffers its sixth straight loss
By Aaron Colen
Oklahoma Daily Saturday, Feb. 27
NORMAN, Okla. The Sooners lost their
sixth straight game Saturday by a score of
70-63 to the No. 24 Baylor Bears in Norman.
For Baylor, it was the frst time the Bears
defeated Oklahoma in Norman since 1977.
Thats a long time, Baylor guard Lace-
Darius Dunn said. It was a long journey but
we came out and played Baylor basketball.
The Sooners got of to a quick start,
opening up a ten-point lead at one point in
the frst half. However, soon after Oklahoma
got that lead, Baylor went on an 8-0 run to
draw within two points.
I thought we did a good job of attack-
ing the zone early, but later on we just
didnt play smart, coach Jef Capel said.
The Bears gained their frst lead with
fewer than fve minutes to go in the frst
half, and went to the locker room leading
the Sooners 36-35.
Oklahoma was led in scoring by fresh-
man forward Tiny Gallon, who scored 17
points in the frst half and fnished the
game with 23 points and 15 rebounds.
Gallons performance against Baylor was
what Capel said he has been looking for out
of the freshman big man all season.
Not necessarily 23 and 15, but just be-
ing a presence down low and on the boards
for us, Capel said.
Baylor forward Ekpe Udoh gave Gallon
credit for his strength down low.
I dont know how much [Gallon]
weighs, but hes strong, Baylor forward
Ekpe Udoh said.
Dunn teased his teammate about his
size after the game.
Im going to make sure Ekpe gets in the
weight room when we get back, Dunn said.
The two teams traded baskets for most
of the second half, with neither one able
to establish a signifcant run. Dunn scored
16 points for Baylor in the frst half, but
was relatively quiet in the second scoring
only fve points when senior forward Tony
Crocker was guarding him.
They did a great job of keying on me
in the second half, Dunn said. They put
one of their best defenders on me so I give
credit to them.

Henry leads Nebraska
to win against Raiders
By Max Olson
Daily Nebraskan Sunday, Feb. 28
LINCOLN, Neb. Sek Henry admits
hes had a bit of a roller-coaster season
ofensively.
On Saturday evening, though, the
senior helped atone for his up-and-down
play by getting hot when his team needed
him most.
Henry put up a career-high 21 points,
including seven straight in double over-
time, to lead Nebraska to an improbable
83-79 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday
evening at the Bob Devaney Center.
I was just trying to be aggressive,
Henry said. I know Ive been struggling.
The last few times Ive been really, really
low, and I havent really produced anything
but defense.
Henry came into the day averaging just
four points per game in February and only
had one other double-digit scoring perfor-
mance in Big 12 Conference play.
But against the Red Raiders, Henry re-
discovered his stroke late in the game and
took a season-high 11 shots.
I just tried to help and hit big shots, he
said. I did whatever I had to do to help this
team win.
The Huskers overcame a 14-point defcit
their largest comeback since coach Doc
Sadler took over and snapped a month-
long losing streak.
If anything, its just a relief, Sadler said.
These guys have played so hard, practice
so hard, and theyve deserved better than
theyve gotten. Theyve stayed the course
and it wouldve been easy not to.
On Saturday, staying the course for
Nebraska meant sticking to its ofensive
game plan and cleaning things up after a
generally sloppy frst half that featured 10
Husker turnovers.
Late free throw shots put
Buffaloes over Cyclones
Associated Press
Sunday, Feb. 28
BOULDER, Colo. With Colorado trail-
ing and in a rut, guard Cory Higgins knew
something had to change.
Higgins scored a season-high 33 points,
21 in the second half, to lead Colorado over
Iowa State 7572 in a battle between Big
12 also-rans Saturday.
Marquis Gilstrap scored 26 points for
the Cyclones, who have lost 10 of their last
12 games. Higgins was nearly perfect on
the day, hitting 12-of-15 shots and all six of
his free throws.
We were starting to get a little stag-
nant on ofense, Higgins said. I wasnt just
trying to score, I was trying to attack and
maybe open things up for other people.
We needed to be more aggressive.
The rest of the team got the message.
Casey Crawford scored all 10 of his points
in the second half, including two 3-pointers
and a putback layup to extend Colorados
lead to 6561 with 2:28 left.
He was the diference in the game,
Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said of
Crawford. Youre trying to provide help
on some of their back cuts and trying to
make it dif cult for [Alec] Burks and Hig-
gins as much as you can. You have to give
up something and Casey Crawford really
made us pay.
Gilstrap kept the Cyclones close with
a pair of buckets, and Justin Hamiltons
three-point play with 54 seconds left cut
their defcit 7170. But Colorado hit six free
throws in the fnal 1:16 to seal the win.
Gilstrap led Iowa State with 12 frst-half
points, and Higgins and Marcus Relphorde
had 12 each for Colorado. For the game,
Colorado hit all 12 of its free throws while
Iowa State was 12-of-21 from the line.
In the frst half free throws were a real
big part of it. They made their free throws
and we didnt, Gilstrap said.

Editors Note: The Wave continues its
look at the Jayhawks road to 2,000 victo-
ries. This week, The Wave tracks the teams
history from the 1500th victory in mens bas-
ketball history through the 2008 Jayhawks
National Championship run.
After a difficult loss to Oklahoma
State down in Stillwater the Kansas mens
basketball team suffered a slight setback
on their road to 2,000 victories. With two
regular season games left and then the
Big XII and NCAA Tournament the Jay-
hawks need to win three more games to
reach the mark.
Former Jayhawks reflected on the tra-
dition of excellence that Kansas basketball
has become.
Bud Stallworth played for Kansas from
1968 to 1972 and then played in the NBA
for five years.
Having been around the program
since 1968, and now we are in another
millennium I see the numbers keep going
forward, Stallworth said. I dont know
whether a lot of people understand how
much tradition is involved in the Univer-
sity of Kansas basketball.
With five national championships,
53 conference championships and 1997
victories, the program certainly looks
distinguished by the numbers.
Even though we havent gotten where
we wanted to go, we have won champi-
onships, Stallworth said. The number
of great players that have come through
here and gone on to play and accomplish
great things, there are always guys com-
ing next.
But there is a different kind of tradition
that does not appear in the record books
and that is the family atmosphere that
brings retired players back to Lawrence to
live and work.
I have a great relationship with a lot
of guys that played with other programs
and played professionally and I talk about
well, do you all have reunions, do you all
stay in touch not just with players during
your era, but players that played years
before or years after you, Stallworth said.
If you played basketball at the University
of Kansas and you go to one of those
reunions, there is a bond there that wont
go away.
Stallworth is now a co-host for Rock
Chalk Sports Talk on 1320 KLWN along
with Scot Pollard, Wayne Simien, David
Lawrence and host Brian Hanni.
Pollard played for Kansas from 1993-
1997 and then went on to play in the NBA
for 11 years with different teams.
I love the tradition of the University
of Kansas; I love that I am a part of that
history, Pollard said.
He said he still keeps in touch with for-
mer teammates like Jacque Vaughn and
Greg Gurley; he also played with former
teammate Paul Pierce when he played for
the Boston Celtics.
As far as players, when we see each
other it is always like old times, Pollard
said. We get along well. We have good
times and good stories to tell.
Gurley and Pollard gather their families
and take trips to the lake, this past week-
end just Pollard and Gurley went on a trip
together.
Gurley went to high school at Shawnee
Mission South just more than 35 miles
away. Gurley played for Kansas from 1991-
1995. From there he grew up with the
traditions of Kansas.
To be a part of that is huge, and to
be a part of Kansas basketball, especially
being from Kansas City and knowing a
little more about the tradition than some
of the other guys, it is even more special,
Gurley said.

Kansas - The Jayhawks usually respond well to a loss, and they should come out on fre against the Wildcats at home.
Duke - Maryland could give Duke a tough test, but the Blue Devils have too many weapons to sufer an upset to the Terrapins this year.
Connecticut - The Huskies are a diferent team with Jim Calhoun as their coach, and their athleticism should be too much for the Fighting Irish.
Oklahoma State - The Cowboys should be able to ride their momentum from a huge upset of Kansas to knock of the Aggies on the road.
Syracuse - After getting upset by the Cardinals earlier this season, the Orange will come out focused and ready to play.
Villanova - The Wildcats have been slumping lately, but coach Jay Wright should get them back on track against a good West Virginia team.
Georgetown - The Hoyas have underachieved this season, but they should play well enough to defeat the Bearcats at home.
Texas - The Longhorns have really struggled since they reached No. 1, but they should fnally get back on track with a win against the Bears.
Arizona - The Bruins are really struggling this season, and Arizona is a very tough team to beat at home.
Hampton - The Bison are looking for a big win on the road, but the Pirates should have too many weapons for Howard to contain.
