The student voice since 1904
big 12 tournament
BY MIKE MONTANO
mmontano@kansan.com
It is 10 a.m., you barely made
it out of bed this morning to get
to class and now your stomach is
growling. The only thing on your
mind is to get out of class and hit
the nearest vending machine for a
quick fix.
This is a downfall grabbing an
unhealthy snack when the brain
needs to refuel on healthier options.
One of the most important
changes a student can make, is to
add more fruits and vegetables, said
Ann Chapman, dietician at Watkins
in the Wellness Resource Center.
We eat too much meats and
too many multi-grains in America.
What we need to do is shrink the
portions of both and fill up more of
the plate with fruits or vegetables.
Portion control is another issue
that plagues us from fast food
places that offer to upsize our meals
for a little extra or restaurants that
serve heaping plates of food. It
may be cost-effective for students
watching their spending, but its not
health-effective.
Eating and feeling healthy is
something that pharmaceutical stu-
dent Dan Freed, a sophomore from
Topeka, says is definitely a choice.
And a lack of education could con-
tribute to unhealthy choices. Freed
has been a personal trainer, model,
gym enthusiast and a health-con-
scious individual for a while, and
he attributes his positive attitude to
wanting to feel good on the inside
and outside.
You want to look at the labels
and make sure it doesnt have high
fructose corn syrup. Its bad for your
insulin levels, Freed said. Look for
whole grain complex carbs as the
main ingredient of any nutritional
bar as opposed to a candy bar or
something.
Making the right choice on what
to eat doesnt have to be difficult. Its
important to plan ahead, pay atten-
tion to nutritional facts and incorpo-
rate exercise into daily living.
Whats been found clinically is
that its not when you eat, but how
many calories go in versus what you
burn, Chapman said.
Each persons calorie intake is
different, so be sure to check out
mypyramid.gov and find out how
many calories you should be getting
daily.

Te conferences best free throw
shooter lef the frst shot of a one-
and-one on the front rim, giving the
Nebraska Cornhuskers some small
amount of life. Te Huskers, trailing
by one, had the ball on their half of
the foor with 10 seconds to make
a play.
But All-Big 12 third teamer
Lance Jeter stumbled to the foor
without getting a shot of, and the
Cowboys and their shooter Keiton
Page, by the slimmest of margins,
moved on to play Kansas in the sec-
ond round.
Basically, it was an emotional
day for the Cowboys, who will need
to rally from the drain to keep their
slim chances of an NCAA Tourna-
ment berth alive.
Kansas coach Bill Self said Mon-
day that he had no concerns about
who the Jayhawks drew in their frst
game of the postseason, but on pa-
per it would seem that Oklahoma
State, who the Jayhawks routed by
27 two weeks ago in Allen Field-
house, was the better matchup for
Kansas.
Ive never gotten in the habit of
hoping for something because usu-
ally what you hope for, you realize
its not the best thing for you, Self
said.
Its also the frst test for Marcus
Morris, who has taken control as
the leader of the Jayhawks, in a win-
or-go-home situation. Hes played in
similar situations before, of course,
but never as the unquestioned star.
In his frst go-around as the
leader, hes making sure to say all
the right things.
We wont skip over anybody, he
said Monday. Were going to take
every game one game at a time and
make sure we get the win.
If the Jayhawks win, theyll get a
shot at either Kansas State or Colo-
rado in the semifnals, before a po-
tential meeting with Texas in the
fnals.
I have a preference on who we
play in the championship game,
Morris said Monday, implying that
hed like a rematch with the Long-
horns.
Self said theres no question his
guys would like a shot at the only
two teams that have beaten the Jay-
hawks, but other than that, theres
little reason that the Jayhawks need
a Big 12 Tournament champion-
ship.
Te postseason championship
gives you some momentum going
into the NCAA tournament, senior
guard Brady Morningstar said. It
could give you momentum if you
play well. Tere is some impor-
tance of playing well as a team to-
gether and having good thoughts
going into Selection Sunday and
going into your frst-round game.
With a No. 1 seed in the NCAA
Tournament virtually a lock, the
Jayhawks wont play for much
other than pride and the momen-
tum Morningstar talked about in
the Big 12 Tournament. But there
are plenty of teams, starting with
the Cowboys, who could use a vic-
tory against Kansas to bolster their
NCAA resume.

Blood, or whole blood donation, is the most common type of
donation.
During blood donation one pint of whole blood is collected.
The blood is separated into transfusable components. These com-
ponents are red cells, plasma and platelets.
It takes 8-10 minutes to donate blood. The entire blood donation
process takes about 1 hour.
Donors are eligible to donate whole blood every 56 days.
Plasma is collected simultaneously with platelets. It is col-
lected at select American Red Cross donation centers.
During plasma donation, a machine collects the blood and
separates the plasma, red cells and platelets. It then returns the
red cells and/or platelets back to the donor.
Plasma donation takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Donors are eligible to donate plasma up to two times a week.

According to cslplasma.com,
which is one of the largest human
plasma collectors in the world,
blood and plasma donations can
sometimes be confused. Blood is
extracted from the body in both
types of donations. However, plas-
ma donation does not include the
harvesting of the red blood cells.
During plasma donation only the
liquid portion of blood is removed
and the red blood cells are returned
to the donor. Blood cannot be
donated as often as plasma.
Blood donations are strictly
voluntary, and there is no payment
to the donor, said Leann DeLong,
donor recruiter for Community
Blood Center of Kansas City, Mo.

City bonds to fund
hydroelectric plant
The Lawrence City Commission
voted last week to approve bonds
to fund the Bowersock Mills and
Power Companys North Shore hy-
droelectric plant building project.
The new plant will be on the
north shore of the Kansas River
at the end of the North Second
Street Bridge.
Lawrence Vice-Mayor Aron E.
Cromwell said the commission
was happy to fnally help put this
project in motion.
Its a huge step in the begin-
ning of that project for the folks
over at Bowersock,Cromwell said.
What it really amounts to is a ma-
jor investment in that particular
area thats not just good for long-
term payouts for the company,
but also good for our community.
Cromwell said the project will
also improve Lawrences image
as a greenjobs hub. he said the
new plant will do a good job of
illustrating the citys sustainability
and job-creating eforts.
Bowersock co-owner Sarah hill-
Nelson was contacted, but she
declined to comment until the
bonds ofcially closed.

Fify days and counting down.
Behind the scenes hundreds are
hard at work to make sure the
April 29 royal wedding is a day to
remember not just for Prince
William and Kate Middleton, but
for the country.
As the date nears, the machin-
ery that makes a British royal
event look, smell and sound like
nothing else is kicking into gear.
It is also around this time that
the couple will start thinking
about how the service will go
and in the case of Kate and Wil-
liam, it may be the time it dawns
on them that billions worldwide
will watch them as they stand at
the altar, said wedding planner
Sarah Hayward.
Around the 50-day mark is
quite a dangerous time for a cou-
ple planning a wedding, Hay-
ward said. Generally its been
pretty frenetic up to that point
and because it is a point at which
things should be done because
it is a dotting of is and crossing of
ts moment (it) means theres
time to actually think about
things and possibly panic.
Events on this scale are
planned to the second, but many
of the arrangements are car-
ried over from one big event to
another. Te people behind the
clipboards will have access to the
plans for big events such as
Prince Andrews 1986 wedding
to Sarah, Duchess of York at the
Abbey and the funeral for the
Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
Nonetheless, palace staf,
members of what is known here
as the Royal Household, are do-
ing things that any wedding
planner might do though with
the added task of worrying about
how many seconds should pass
between the carriages.
Probably the least busy will
be Kate and William themselves,
said Hugo Vickers, a royal histo-
rian. You can be quite certain
there will be a mass of things go-
ing on.
Among tasks will be chasing
RSVPs from anyone with the te-
merity not to answer right away.
Based on who is coming and
who isnt, that will then lead to
the protocol-fraught job of mak-
ing sure that reigning monarchs
like the King of Norway get
a better seat than, say, a deposed
monarch, like the ex-king of Ro-
mania. Sometimes it gets tricky
with politicians who, while more
powerful, might not rank high
enough to sit up front.
Ten there is Te Dress it is
likely a designer has been chosen,
but there must be repeated ft-
tings to make everything perfect,
and choices made about crucial
accessories, including the pos-
sible use of a jewel-laden tiara.

Ive got a roommate that wants to

money. WTF? Whats next? You want
us to buy our own hand soap too?
You people know that Romeo and
Juliet both die right after they get
together right?
I hate Roy Williams like I hate
Voldemort.
I set up my Twitter account to have
Charlie Sheens tweets sent to my
phone. Best decision Ive made all
week.
I just had a hamburger and it tasted
really good. Does that make me a
bad Catholic?
Charlie Sheen is the new Chuck
Norris ... Just go with it.
Uhm, so, this hot girl just walked by.
I almost gave her the nod. Then she
started smacking her mouth after
drinking water. WTF?
You know you are in Templin when
people still refer to things as school
nights.
I was feeling kinda crabby, so I
popped another addy. Now Im
feeling super great. Now my paper
wont be late.
You cant be a ninja because you are

the dishes. What do I do?

Need advice? Ask our expert columnists and take their
advice at your own risk. We posed this question, but we
would like to hear from you. Submit your questions to
dmscott@kansan.com.
Please include your name, year, major and hometown.
The simplest thing is to talk to your
roommate. Dont be a jerk about it, but ask him
to do a load of dishes. If you want, you guys
could set up a schedule to make it easier. Or
you could do the dishes together; one of you
could load and the other could unload. If he
still wont help with the dishes, then I dunno.
Youre kind of screwed. You could retaliate by
also refusing to do the dishes, but that would
escalate the problem to a whole new level.
Really, the important lesson here is to make
sure you room with someone compatible and
figure out who will do what chores ahead of
time. If you let it slide too long, it might be too
late to do anything.
Lou schumaker is a junior from Overland
Park in film and media studies.
So, your roommate is dirty, huh? Well, you
know what they say! To put out a fire, spit on
it! As in, spit on your roommates stuff. Record
collection? Spit on it! Bedroom window curtains?
Dribble all over them drapes! XBOX 360? When
youre through with it, you could call it the
XBOX 3SPITSY (but that would be way too puny,
and what is this? a Nick Jr. show?). Cat? Yeah,
sure, because those things already spit all over
themselves and hate humans!
Once you let the slobber pour like waterfalls,
your friend will be all like, WHAT IS YOUR
PROBLEM? YOU ARE INSANE! DID YOU SPIT IN MY
MACS CD ROM? I AM CALLING THE POLICE! And
then when you get kicked out of your apartment
for spitting all over it, the world is your dish!
Chance Carmichael is a junior from Mulvane
in film and media studies.
While talking to your roommate like an adult is certainly
an option, its hardly the best one. I recommend fighting
this fire with passive-aggressive anger by making sure to
not do even more dishes than your roommate. Every time
you drink something, use a different glass. This will create
more dishes than your roommate could ever dream.
In order to really get the message across, you should
write out your roommates name using the dishes in the
sink. Sometimes people choose to ignore these passive-
aggressive behaviors but in a few days time, they will
become moldy and much harder to ignore.
If this still doesnt work then the only recourse is to
think really hard in their direction and hope that works.
This involves not staring at them but lots of thinking about
staring at them while the two of you are watching The
Jersey Shore. If we learned anything from Pokmon, it is
that you shouldnt fight fire with fire, but instead fight fire
with passive aggressive anger.
Jarod Kilgore is a junior from Lenexa in film and
media studies.
In the six decades since economist
John Kenneth Galbraith coined the
phrase the conventional wisdom, it
has largely become a term of oppro-
brium. Its purveyors, the thinking
goes, are reflexive supporters of the
status quo, unimaginative in their
thoughts. David Broder, the longtime
Washington Post columnist who died
March 9, embodied establishment in
Washington. If there is such a thing as
conventional wisdom, the relentlessly
centrist pundit was among its most
prominent articulators.
But Broder was much more than
the consummate Washington insider.
A proud product of the Midwest, he
never forgot from whence he came. I
dined with the itinerant journalist at
the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics
last October and spent a few moments
before his lecture chatting with him
about the upcoming midterms. Broder
was ill, suffering from a particularly
unforgiving cough. Nonetheless, he
was in sharp mental form, displaying
a keen interest in the political pulse of
the country as he inquired about the
electoral engagement of my fellow col-
lege students.
The establishmentarian canard was
always unfair to Broder. While the
semi-weekly columns he churned out
until last month demonstrated a thor-
oughly moderate, Washingtonian dis-
position, he regularly made sojourns
to such outposts as Lawrence and his
native Illinois. Though 81 and in fail-
ing health, Broder showed no signs
of slowing down when I saw him last
fall. He told me that upon leaving
Lawrence, he was headed to California
to cover that states gubernatorial and
senate races. He was no armchair
political observer.
One anecdote is particularly illustra-
tive of the late journalists character. In
the pre-Internet 1976, he prematurely
filed a report to the Post indicating
the Morris Udall had won Wisconsins
Democratic presidential primary.
When it turned out that Jimmy Carter
had emerged the victor, Broder sub-
mitted his resignation, ashamed of his
journalistic error. Benjamin Bradlee,
the Posts executive editor, refused to
accept it, not wanting to lose a premier
political reporter over one mishap.
In our rapid-fire news cycle one
in which getting it first all too often
seems more important than getting
it right we could use a few more
David Broders, individuals committed
to the old-fashioned idea that deliber-
ateness, accuracy and integrity matter.

I want to work for Sheen, violently
In simpler times, Charlie
Sheens headlines-dominating
professional meltdown would
have made him a sad, washed-up
pariah. He would have been cast
to the depths of celebrity hell,
with only the distant possibility
of a post-rehab comeback giving
him the faintest bit of hope for
the future.
But things are different in the
age of social media. Sheen has
instead become a sad, washed-up
folk hero, taking the tin cans of
drug abuse, possible mental illness
and unemployment and turning
them into a pool of gold coins
that would make Scrooge McDuck
jealous.
Thanks to Twitter and the viral
nature of todays Internet culture,
Sheens profile is higher than ever:
He reached 1 million Twitter fol-
lowers in record time, drew over
100,000 viewers on his bizarre live
Ustream show Saturday night and
is raking in lucrative endorsement
deals with companies that evi-
dently have no qualms about their
products being closely associated
with crack cocaine.
What would have once been a
flameout of historic proportions
is now the birth of a social media
empire.
At least, thats what Sheen
hopes. To help him with his bud-
ding web presence, he is offering a
paid summer internship and
hes hiring right now. While your
boring, non-winning peers are off
getting coffee for congressmen
and making copies for corporate
leaders, you could be, according
to his posting on Internships.com,
work[ing] closely with Charlie
Sheen in leveraging his social
network. Yes, he has his own
social network! And you could be
the Justin Timberlake to his Jesse
Eisenberg!
Of course, youll have me to
compete with. At first, I decided
against applying for the position;
I was afraid I might be overquali-
fied. But then I thought, Is there
really such a thing as too much
winning? And then Charlie
Sheen came to me in a vision and
said, No. Duh.
That is why I would like to cede
the remainder of my column to
my internship application. I felt
the online applications 75-char-
acter limit (seriously) was not
enough to properly convey the
awesome magnitude of my cre-
dentials.
Here are just a few reasons why
I should be Charlie Sheens intern:
Im a meme ma-Sheen:
Catchphrases like level 100 war-
lock and duh, winning have
entered the popular lexicon faster
than a Vatican assassin drunk on
tiger blood. But Sheen cant keep
coming up with these gems on his
own! I can work with him to craft
new memes about wrestling with
rabid unicorns, giving man-birth
to win-beasts and other t-shirt-
worthy inanities that are sure to
keep the revenue stream flowing!
Sheen + Synergy =
SHEENERGY: I have a sixth
sense for brand synergy, and
I could help Sheen choose the
endorsement deals that will help
maintain his sterling image. Four
Loko? Sounds good! Baby Bjorn?
NO WAY!
Im a raving Sheenophant!:
I will say literally anything Charlie
Sheen wants to hear! Yes, your
theories on 9/11 make sense! No,
you dont sound crazy! Yeah, I
hate Chuck Lorre, too! Youre the
best, Mr. Sheen!
Im good with Microsoft
Office.

W / O U R L O W C A L S M O O T H I E S
BY Alec Tilson
atilson@kansan.com
Perhaps the one thing that stands
out as dependable for this Kansas
baseball team (6-6) is the starting
pitching staf. Trough 12 games
the staf combined for quality starts
in all but one contest.
Sophomore Taylor Tomas (2-0)
threw fve and two-thirds innings
against North Dakota yesterday,
allowing fve hits while issuing no
walks and tying a career high with
seven strikeouts. North Dakotas
Kris Kwak hammered a hanging
slider out of the park in the third
inning, the only run Taylor al-
lowed.
He got afer everyone, sopho-
more catcher Alex DeLeon said.
He threw a lot of strikes and had a
pretty good day.
As a pitching staf, issues tend
to arise in the seventh and eighth
innings when trying to protect the
lead for junior closer Colton Mur-
ray to record the fnal outs.
Freshman Alex Cox had that
duty for the frst time yesterday
and, despite giving up two runs,
was able to hand the ball to Murray
with a lead. Cox, who had been a
starter, could stay in that role .
Hes a team guy, Price said. He
could be selfsh and want to be a
starter, and he could continue to
be the midweek starter, but for us
to be the best is for him to be the
setup guy.
Along with senior T.J. Walz and
sophomore Tanner Poppe, Cox and
senior Wally Marciel continue to
throw well for the Jayhawks. Te
four pitchers have emerged as the
better arms on the staf.
Im really pleased with the prog-
ress that Cox has made and with
Marciel, Price said. To me they
have been the diference. Rather
than just have two guys, weve got
four guys throwing the ball good.
In the closer role Murrays low-
90s fastball has been under control
and consistent. His ability to close
out games is vital as the team con-
tinues to battle late in tight ball-
games.
In 12 innings hes struck out 13
batters, walked one and allowed
just two runs.
Hes letting his arm pitch and
hes not trying to knock down the
backstop, Price said. Hes throw-
ing the ball better than hes thrown
in the three years hes been here.
Taylors starting performance
yesterday was impressive all around
but the most important stat was not
the strikeouts.
Te big thing is minimize the
walks, Taylor said. Te less walks
weve got the less chances they are
going to have.
It seems obvious, but for this
Kansas team to win games, the
starting pitching staf, coupled with
the defense, must remain steady.
Weve had basically good starts
the entire year, Price said, and
until we get it going ofensively we
have to win with pitching and de-
fense right now.

With 17:31 left in the first half,
the Kansas womens basketball
team took its first lead of the
game, 7-5, on a layup by sopho-
more guard Angel Goodrich. It
turned out to be its only lead of
the game, as Baylor then went
on a 12-0 run and never looked
back.
The run was followed by
another one of 14-0 later in the
half that gave the Bears a 24-point
lead heading into the half. The
Jayhawks struggled, committing
nine turnovers in the first half,
which the Bears turned into 13
points.
We talked about going in your
best defense may be your offense,
not turning the ball over and giv-
ing them high percentage shots,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Bears were ignited in the
first half of their 86-51 victory by
the play of senior guard Melissa
Jones. Jones was everywhere on
the court, with nine rebounds,
eight points, and six assists in
the first half. Jones wore shaded
glasses to protect her eyes, she
damaged her right eye in a Feb.
27 game against Oklahoma and
is just now beginning to see light
out of it.
She hits the first three of the
game, she gets rebounds, thats
the story of the game, Baylor
coach Kim Mulkey said. She
cant see. Shes gone from com-
pletely black seven days later to
fuzzy black.
Baylor outrebounded the
Jayhawks 28-10 in the first half,
and 13 of those boards came from
the offensive glass. The Bears
turned those offensive rebounds
into 18 points in the first half.
The Jayhawks held Big 12 play-
er of the year Brittney Griner to
just eight points in the first half,
but she limited the Jayhawks lead-
ing scorer, sophomore forward
Carolyn Davis, to two points and
no rebounds in the first half.
Griner made her presence felt
in other aspects of the game by
grabbing six boards in the first
half and finishing with 19 points.
The longer you watch her and
you have that opportunity to play
against her, just how much she
impacts the game on a defensive
end, especially for a team that
scores and spends a lot of time
throwing the ball inside, 52-18 in
points in the paint, Henrickson
said. She changes that because
theres not much room to score,
and the lane is awful crowded.
The Jayhawks also struggled
with clock management. With
3:36 left in the first half sopho-
more guard Monica Engelman
had a three-point shot called back
because of a shot clock violation.
We wanted to slow it down,
Goodrich said. Just so we werent
rushing or anything. Then we
kind of waited too long and need-
ed to adjust the offense and try
to get the defense and hammered
into a screen. So once we got that
we were free. We had to try and
to find the open man. I think we
kind of panicked after it started
getting low.

19:43 Jackson scores a layup out of halftime of an assist from
Goodrich.
13:38 davis hits a jumper to stop a 13-5 Baylor run out of the

Nebraska vs.
OklahOma state
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Nebraska had a chance to win the
game with 10.4 seconds remain-
ing on the clock. After Oklahoma
State junior guard Keiton Page
missed the front end of a one-
and-one, Nebraska grabbed the
rebound and called a timeout.
With Oklahoma State cling-
ing to a 53-52 lead, Nebraskas
Lance Jeter was going to make
sure Nebraskas NCAA fate was
in his hands. And thats where the
ball stayed in his hands. Jeter
was unable to get a shot off and
Oklahoma States Nick Sidorakis
stole the ball. Time expired before
Nebraska could foul.
Oklahoma State moves on to the
Big 12 quarterfinals. It will face
Kansas at 11:30 a.m. Nebraskas
hopes of an NCAA birth are slim.
Page led the Cowboys with 16
points on 6-of-13 shooting (4-of-
8 from the three). Jeter led the
Huskers and all scorers with 17
points.
COlOradO vs.
IOwa state
Colorado avenged its 95-90 loss
to Iowa State on March 2 and kept
its NCAA hopes alive for another
day by defeating Iowa State 77-75.
Colorados Alec Burks and Cory
Higgins combined for 45 points,
while Iowa State was led by Jake
Andersons 33 points.
Iowa State controlled most of
the second half and led by two at
halftime. The Cyclones led by as
many as six in the second half, but
Colorado took the lead for good
after Burks hit a tough hanger to
give the Buffaloes a 74-72 lead
with 1:14 remaining in the game.
Colorado will face Kansas State
for the third time this season on
Thursday. In the two previous
meetings, the Buffaloes defeated

baYlOr vs. OklahOma
Baylors Perry Jones was sus-
pended for accepting improper
benefts during his high school
career about an hour before tip-
of, but its likely even his presence
wouldnt have helped the Bears,
who took a good, old-fashioned
84-67 whooping at the hands of
the Oklahoma Sooners.
Big 12 Sixth Man Award win-
ner Quincy Acy posted 21 points
and flled in admirably for Jones,
who is widely regarded as the best
NBA prospect in the Big 12. Bay-
lors LaceDarius Dunn, the only
frst team All-Big 12 player in the
game, fnished just 3-of-14 from
the feld and 1-of-7 from outside
for 11 points.
Te Sooners raced out to
a 17-point frst-half lead and
coasted to the victory behind
Cade Davis 24 points and Carl
Blairs 14 points, 11 assists and
six rebounds. Baylor had an atro-
cious frst half shooting the ball
and they couldnt make up any
ground in the second half.
mIssOUrI vs.
texas teCh
For a moment in the second
half, it looked like Texas Tech
was going to pull the upset over
Missouri. The first six members
of the pep band, all trumpets,
showed up late because they had
been playing the womens game
at nearby Municipal Auditorium,
and the Red Raiders went on a
14-3 run to tie the game.
The moment passed, though.
The rest of the band showed up
and the Red Raiders went into
a tailspin. Missouri went on a
double-digit run of its own, and
the Tigers withstood a furious
late Texas Tech rally to pull out
an 88-84 victory.
The Tigers were led by Marcus
Denmons 20 points and John
Roberson put up 28 in a losing
effort for Tech. Barring a mir-
acle postseason bid for the Red
Raiders, it was Pat Knights final
game as a coach at Texas Tech.

The SprinT CenTer will roCk if
Johnson brings that defensive magic that was so stifing against
Oklahoma State last time out to Kansas City with him. Should the Jay-
hawks put up that kind of defensive performance, theyll hammer the
Cowboys just like they did in Allen Fieldhouse. There will be plenty of
blue in the Sprint Center, as there always is when the Jayhawks make
the trip 45 minutes east.
The CowboyS will ShooT down The JayhawkS if
Keiton Page gets open looks against Elijah Johnson and gets hot.
Page buried the Jayhawks last year when Oklahoma State handed
Kansas its second loss of the season in Stillwater. Marshall Moses
dominated the Morris twins ofensively the last time they played, but
it didnt matter much. He needed help then from Page, and hell need
it again tomorrow.
OKLAHOMA STATE
19-12, (6-10)
STArTErS
reger dowell, guard
Dowell has been excellent the last few
weeks. He has averaged 10.8 points per game
since Feb. 19. On Wednesday he scored eight
points. He didnt run the point very well, just
dishing out one assist and turning the ball
over three times. He isnt a physical guard,
in that he doesnt rebound well. He had zero
boards in the victory against Nebraska.

keiton page, guard

Page played extremely well Wednesday. He
scored 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting. He went
4-of-8 from three and played 37 minutes. He
is a small, feisty guard that will most likely be
defended by Elijah Johnson. Self said that
Johnson has been the teams best defender
the last few weeks. This could be a problem
for Page, who only scored eight points in Law-
rence.

Matt pilgrim, forward

While Pilgrim isnt a scorer, he scored nine
against Texas Tech and 10 against Baylor in
consecutive games after Oklahoma States
bout with Kansas. In the fnale against Okla-
homa he scored two points and yesterday
against Nebraska he scored two points. He
went 1-7 from the feld, but grabbed 12 re-
bounds. He needs to focus on rebounding
than scoring, unless the shots are falling.

Jean paul olukemi, forward

Olukemi was named to the All-Big 12 Rook-
ie Team on Sunday. On Wednesday he scored
fve points and grabbed six rebounds. In the
Feb. 21 matchup against Kansas Olukemi
was nonexistent. He scored one point and
grabbed three rebounds in 17 minutes of
work. Hes got to play like the All-Rookie se-
lection that he is.

Marshall Moses, forward

Moses has tremendous
size and length. He is a big
body down low that can
create problems for
Kansas bigs. He has
the ability to face his
man and take him to
the basket, but that
isnt his forte. He is bet-
ter with his back to the
basket. On Sunday, Mo-
ses was named to the All-Big
12 Third Team.

10A / SporTS / THuRSDAy, MARCH 10, 2010 / The UniVerSiTy daily kanSan / KANSAN.COM
Game
Thursday, March 10 Time (CT)
Kansas State vs. Colorado 2 p.m.
Texas vs. Oklahoma 6 p.m.
Texas A&M vs Missouri 8:30 p.m.


In reality, Kansas doesnt have a
whole lot to play for today. Beat-
ing the Cowboys, moving forward
and getting a little momentum
under their belt would undoubt-
edly be nice heading into the
NCAA Tournament, but its hardly
a necessity. The Jayhawks are
a top seed in the tournament
regardless of what pans out this
afternoon, and thats what really
matters for them. Playing three
games in three days, which theyll
do if they beat the Cowboys, may
actually be detrimental to the
team, which is nursing a number
of nagging injuries. But players
at this level have a competitive
streak a mile wide, so expect the
Jayhawks to come out with a lot
of juice.
Sophomore guard elijah Johnson
Watch Johnson on the defen-
sive end. Hes turned himself from
a solid-but-unremarkable defend-
er into Velcro. He sticks on his man
better than
anyone on the
Jayhawk roster,
and its the
entire reason
he continues
to start over
Tyshawn Taylor,
whose defense
is just as
unpredictable as his ofense (read:
very). Johnson said the transition
came when Self named him the
starter and called him out in the
locker room before the frst time
Kansas played Oklahoma State.
He responded by shutting down
Keiton Page (2-of-11 from the
feld), and leading the Jayhawks to
an easy victory.
is there a reason for the
Jayhawks to care?
As mentioned above, a win
here means three more games
in the next three days, which is a
physical drain heading into the
heavily scheduled NCAA tourna-
ment. Lingering injuries to Tyrel
Reed, Josh Selby and Thomas
Robinson would suggest that
a rest might do Kansas some
good, but the Jayhawks have a
little fre in them. The guys badly
want a shot at Kansas State and,
in particular, Texas, which remain
the only teams to hand a loss to
the Jayhawks. Kansas State would
have to get through Colorado,
which theyve been unable to
do all year, to set up a semifnal
rematch with Kansas, while the
Longhorns would have to win the
bottom half of the bracket to set
up a classic title game.
Anytime you play you might as
well play to win. We are playing
in Kansas City against rivals that
would like nothing more than to
beat us to enhance their situation.
Our goal is to go win the tourna-
ment.
Bill Self
KANSAS
29-2, (14-2)
STArTErS
elijah Johnson, guard
The ofense hasnt stagnated under
Johnson, but it hasnt had quite the same
frepower as when Taylor ran the show. It
hasnt been a concern yet. The Jayhawks are
a perfect 4-0 under Johnsons steady hand
and he led Kansas to a 27-point thump-
ing of the Cowboys in Lawrence a couple
weeks back. Its not crazy to think he could
do the same thing today. His defense was
key in that game.

Tyrel reed, guard

Reeds lingering foot injury has hampered
him enough that hes only practicing with
the team fully on the day before games.
Three straight days of games, should the
Jayhawks win today, could be bad news
for Reed, but Bill Self and the training staf
are keeping a close eye on it. Winning a Big
12 Tournament title is a goal, sure, but they
wont jeopardize having Reed available in
the NCAA Tournament. He loses a star with
the injury.

brady Morningstar, guard

Morningstar is and always has been
the type of guy whose fnal stat line can
be guessed pretty accurately before most
games. Hell give the Jayhawks 30-plus min-
utes, fve to 12 points, three to six assists, zero
or one turnover and a couple steals. Hell be
tasked with guarding Jean Paul Olukemi,
who was on the Big 12 All-Rookie team.

Marcus Morris, forward

This is Marcus frst test as a leader in a
win-or-go-home situation (see 1A), and the
outcome could say a lot about his guidance.
If the Jayhawks come out on fre, itll be be-
cause Morris got them up. If they come out
lethargic, itll be because he didnt. Even if
its not on him, that is the perception about
this team, and he understands that. Prov-
ing his leadership starts now.

Markief Morris, forward

Markief is on a tear over his
last fve games, averaging 16.6
points and 8.6 rebounds, both
up from his season averages.
He dealt with foul trouble the
last time he played against
Oklahoma State and the
Cowboys Marshall Moses had a feld
day inside. However, Markief still put
up solid numbers. He fnished with 15
points and seven rebounds that day.

Oklahoma State narrowly hung
on for a 53-52 victory on Wednes-
day. Nebraskas Lance Jeter had
the ball in his hands for the fnal
10.4 seconds and couldnt get
a shot of. The Cowboys played
tight defense down the stretch
and stole the ball with about two
seconds remaining to seal the vic-
tory. After the Cowboys 92-65 loss
at Kansas, they fnished the season
2-1 with victories against Texas
Tech and Baylor at home and a loss
in the season fnale on the road to
Oklahoma. While Nebraska is an
excellent defensive team, Oklaho-
ma State will need to score more
if it has any hopes of knocking of
Kansas.
Senior forward Marshall Moses
Moses was the lone bright spot
in Oklahoma States frst matchup
with Kansas. He scored 27 points
while grabbing
six rebounds.
Because of Mo-
ses size and
strength, he
is very physi-
cal down low.
This can be an
advantage for him, but it can also
be a disadvantage. Moses has only
fouled out once this season, but
has been in foul trouble (three or
more fouls) in 22 of the Cowboys
31 games. He had four fouls in
Lawrence and the Morris twins
and Thomas Robinson will make
sure they go at him to get him of
the foor.
will the Sprint Center be better
than allen fieldhouse?
Plain and simply, the answer is
no. There werent that many fans
for the game against Nebraska, so
the same can probably be said for
the game against Kansas. Besides,
Kansas fans travel well, especially
the game being in Kansas City. The
Sprint Center should be flled to
capacity with Jayhawk fans, giving
them an advantage over the Cow-
boys. However, Kansas State and
Missouri fans will be in attendance
too, but they surely wont cheer for
Kansas, which could help Okla-
homa State.
I was feeling horrible after
that missed free throw. But I had
confdence in my teammates that
we were going to come down and
get a stop.

missed the front end of a one-and-one

Mario little
Ofcial says referees
missed calls in game
NEW YORK Madison Square
Garden has been a special court
for St. Johns in its return to na-
tional prominence.
The latest win there for the Red
Storm 65-63 over Rutgers in
the second round of the Big East
tournament on Wednesday
was achieving legendary status
within minutes of the game
ending.
It wasnt great plays by St.
Johns that will make this a memo-
rable game. Rather it was two
turnovers that werent called and
this wasnt just the losing team
complaining about a tough loss.
Big East commissioner John
Marinatto issued a statement
about 40 minutes after the game
ended admitting there were two
errors made by the ofciating
crew.
A wild last minute that had two
lead changes, two turnovers that
were called, the two that werent
and two missed free throws
fnished with Justin Brownlee of
St. Johns taking a couple of extra
steps, stepping out of bounds
and throwing the ball into the
stands while the fnal 1.7 seconds
ticked away.
The Big East Conference
acknowledges that two separate
ofciating errors occurred at the
conclusion of the St. Johns vs.
Rutgers game,he said, referring
to the travel and stepping out of
bounds. Both missed violations
should have caused the game
clock to stop and a change of
possession to occur prior to the
end of the game. Neither error is
reviewable or correctable under
NCAA rules.
The result will stand.
Associated Press
T
here is a new phenomenon in the
NBA that has left me feeling very
sorry for the rim lately.
It can float through the air, finish with
ferocity, and has little-to-no discretion for
human life itself.
It is Blake Griffin.
Maybe youve heard of him.
The NBAs newest sensation has only
played 64 games in his young career and has
already managed to make best friends with
ESPN, win a dunk contest, and catch the eye
of just about anyone who follows sports.
ESPN has even integrated a Blake Griffin
alert to notify fans that the star has made
another highlight-reel dunk.
When he dunks, its as if he lets out every
ounce of aggression he has ever had on the
rim. While no dunk is the same, they all
seem to have these components: Griffin
soars, Griffin winds back, and Griffin
launches the ball as hard as possible at the
rim.
It is awesome.
The 6-foot-10, 251-pound forward who
has taken the NBA by storm is doing much
more than just providing insanely entertain-
ing dunks. He is having a stellar season for
the not so stellar Clippers, but he has given
the often terrible franchise a reason to have
hope.
The former Oklahoma star is averaging
22.7 points and 12.5 rebounds a game. The
Clippers though, are 24-40 with 18 games
remaining in their season.
In the 24 Clippers wins, Griffin is averag-
ing 24.7 points a game opposed to 21.4 in
their 40 losses. In those wins, Griffin has
shot much better as well. He shoots .567 per-
cent in their wins and .475 percent in their
losses. Griffin also averages about a rebound
and an assist more in the teams wins as
opposed to losses.
The Clippers 20-year-old star has put-up
numbers that show he is one of the leagues
best players.
He ranks ninth in the NBA in total points,
third in total rebounds, fourth in efficiency
rating, second in free-throw attempts, and is
second in double-doubles.
The man seems to make at least one play
a game that will have the whole crowd buzz-
ing with excitement for the rest of the game.
Thats what the people are coming to see,
and he is bringing it day in and day out.
As the season heads toward its close, the
numbers and the highlights dont lie, the
NBA has its next superstar.
And to the rim, Im sorry, it looks like
your future will be a painful one as long as
Blake Griffin is in it.

BAYLOR 86, KAnsAs 51
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
After a dominant 71-45 defeat of
Colorado in the first round, Kansas
fell behind early to Baylor. This
game was the last chance to make
the NCAA tournament, but post-
season dreams were dashed with
the loss which sends the Jayhawks
to the WNIT for the fourth straight
year.
It drives us all crazy, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. This
group is in a good place to make
a run. Now weve got to catch our
breath here and get over the disap-
pointment.
The Jayhawks went on a 13-3
run late in the second half, but a
7-15 mark from beyond the three
point line was not enough to keep
the game close.
Sophomore guard Monica
Engelman stepped into a lead-
ership position for the second
straight game and led the team
with 16 points after hitting four
three pointers.
We all talked about coming into
in the game and being aggressive,
Engelman said. I think I tried to
keep up with that goal and expec-
tation.
Kansas fell to No. 1 seed Baylor
in an 86-51 rout in the quar-
ter finals of the Big 12 Womens
Basketball Championship. Kansas
record now sits at 20-12 overall
and 6-10 in conference play.
Sophomore forward Carolyn
Davis fell into foul trouble again
with four fouls early in the sec-
ond half. Senior forward Krysten
Boogaard and freshman forward
Tania Jackson contributed eight
and 12 points respectively, filling
the gap in scoring from Davis.
Baylor sophomore center
Brittany Griner made ball rota-
tion and movement in the paint
difficult for Kansas. The Jayhawks
were outscored 52-18 in the paint
which is usually where they play
their strongest. Kansas was also
outrebounded by 19.
She changes that because
there is not much room to score
and the lane is awfully crowded,
Henrickson said.
Kansas also had trouble with the
Baylor defense which forced sev-
eral desperation shots at the end of
the shot clock.
We wanted to slow it down just
so we werent rushing anything,
Goodrich said. Then we kind of
waited too long.
The Jayhawks were outplayed
on almost all levels by the Bears
who swept the All-Big 12 Womens
Basketball Awards. Baylor was led
by a dual attack from sophomore
forward Griner with 19 points
and freshman forward Destiny
Williams with 21 points.
This was the second game, which
Kansas lost to Baylor this season
after a 76-37 loss on January 19
at home.
Kansas will focus on midterms
and return to practice to wait for
announcements regarding the
WNIT because they are officially
out of the NCAA tournament.

After No. 3 Baylor crushed Kansas 86-51,
the Jayhawks now wait to see the NIT bids
Selby not
as great as
expected
COmmentARY
R
emember that kid who was
supposed to be the savior of
Kansas basketball? What was
his name? Shelby?
Well, that kid, Josh Selby, didnt
quite save the Jayhawks. (Why an
undefeated team needed a savior
is beyond me, but thats a diferent
story, I suppose.)
He came in and won his frst game
as a Jayhawk and I mean that lit-
erally. He won that game for Kansas.
But since then, Selby hasnt panned
out as the superstar many thought
he would be. Maybe its because of
the overwhelming hype and pres-
sure associated with him. Maybe its
the near-impossibility of joining a
team as jelled as the Jayhawks were
midseason. Or, maybe its because of
nagging injuries.
Accordingly, Bill Self has cut
Selbys minutes. Te emergence of
Elijah Johnson has all but worked
Selby out of the Jayhawks rotation.
He played just 9.5 minutes per game
in the last two games the only two
since Johnson won the starting spot
and Taylor was reinstated.
Teres little argument that, in the
interest of the short term, that Self
handled the situation well. Te Jay-
hawks are playing at a high enough
level that even a loss this afernoon
wont derail them from a No. 1 seed
in the NCAA Tournament.
Trow in the fact that the team
plays its best basketball with Selby
buried on the bench, and Self had
little option but to keep him there.
But there are two problems. First,
there may come a game when the
Jayhawks ofense isnt running
smooth and Selby is the Jayhawks
best option in a broken foor. Watch
him play, and you will see the incred-
ible talent buried just beneath the
surface. Self acknowledges this.
He could still be a guy for us this
year that comes out and gets 15 or 18
points when we are really struggling,
Self said. He is potentially still that
guy. He just needs to have a bit more
confdence moving forward.
But Selby has likely never seen
the bench for as long as he has this
season. Hes been the most talented
player in almost every gym he walks
into. Hes never been a sidekick, like
he will be to Marcus Morris, even in
his fnest moments this year.
Te second problem, any coach
recruiting against the Jayhawks will
happily spout, is that there is now a
stigma that Self cannot coach a one-
and-done player.
Tis is obviously and unquestion-
ably ludicrous. Bill Self is a remark-
able basketball coach, and his string
of seven consecutive titles in one of
the most difcult basketball leagues
in the country is all the evidence you
should need.
But still, the perception stands,
and it can and will be used against
him when the Jayhawks get into a
recruiting war with any team for any
top recruit. Kids in the top 30, rough-
ly, of every recruiting class generally
think they are the worlds greatest
basketball talent. An opposing coach
could have an easy go of convincing
them that. In Self s system, they will
face the same fate as Selby.
But heres the thing about Kansas.
Tis years team its most balanced
an overall-talented since the title-
winning team of 2008 is built out
of three- and four-year players. Mar-
cus Morris was ranked No. 29 in his
class and Markief was No. 49. Elijah
Johnson is the only fve-star recruit
that starts, and its a guarantee that
he will be back in Lawrence next
season.
So does Kansas even need the top
recruits?

The Kansas baseball team
came into Wednesdays game
against North Dakota hoping to
get the bats on track over a win-
less North Dakota team. Instead,
they ended up winning in a 5-3
dogfight victory to get back to
.500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a sea-
son-high 10 hits in Wednesdays
victory over the Fighting Sioux.
With the way the bats have been
struggling, recording 10 hits
sounds like it would make the
Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price
pleased with their performance
at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks
seemed to think that they took a
step backwards at the plate in
the Jayhawks sixth victory of the
season.
Today I didnt think the qual-
ity of our bats were very good at
all, Price said.
The reason Coach Price was so
upset after the game?
The Jayhawks only managed to
scrap together three earned runs
against a North Dakota team that
has struggled mightily on the
mound this season. The Fighting
Sioux came into Wednesdays
game with an abysmal team of
ERA of 11.65. In North Dakotas
three game series with Missouri
State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13
runs in those games.
For the Jayhawks to only put a
total of five runs on the board, is
a major let-down for a team that
was hoping to get into a rhythm
in this weeks games.
I was really disappointed,
to be honest with you, Price
said. We had some really bad
at-bats.
Now that the Jayhawks are 12
games into their season and are
still in a team-wide slump, the
problems become mental. Price
said the team appears to be try-
ing to force the issue, and the
result Wednesday was an unusu-
al amount of pop-ups from the
Jayhawks.
There were three consecutive
innings where we had six con-
secutive pop-ups for outs, Price
said. Its guys trying too hard.
One of the few bright spots for
Kansas at the plate Wednesday
was sophomore catcher Alex
DeLeons performance. DeLeon
hit a line drive solo homerun
to left field in the bottom of the
fifth inning, and he knocked two
batters in off two separate sacri-
fice flies. DeLeon finished one-
for-two with three RBIs and a
run. DeLeon credits his improv-
ing play to better patience at the
plate.
Im feeling pretty good,
DeLeon said. Ive been swinging
at better pitches, making sure I
get a ball elevated in the zone,
and just putting a good swing
on it.
Sophomore starting pitch-
er Thomas Taylor, who had a
strong performance going 5.2
innings and only giving up one
run, seemed much less concerned
about the teams batting strug-
gles.
Theyre already doing a lot
better from the beginning of the
year, Taylor said. Theyll be
fine.
Another good sign for the
Jayhawks today was senior out-
fielder, Jimmy Waters, getting
back on track with two hits today,
including a screaming line drive
down the right field line that
resulted in a double.
For the Jayhawks to get on
track, Waters and the other
seniors in the middle of the order
have to heat up.
Its got to start with Waters
getting it going, and [Casey]
Lytle has got to get it going, and
[Brandon] Macias has got to get
it going, Price said. For some-
body to take the pressure off of
the lineup, its got to be those
guys that have been successful in
the past.
