New ’do, new KU
Mohawk-less Jayhawks trim Temple
Sherron Collins still doesn’t know what all the fuss was about. “I bet you if that left-handed shot went in, nothing would have been said about it,” Collins, Kansas University’s junior guard, said. “It” was the Mohawk haircut — and star cut-out on the left side of his head — Collins sported for last week’s game against UMass, a game in which his running six-footer clanged in the closing seconds of a one-point defeat.

KU women to face UCLA
UCLA wasn’t very nice to Rice the other night. The Bruins’ women’s basketball team went to Houston and scored the first 20 points on the way to an 82-64 romp over the Owls. “I watched it,” Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “Whew … it was turnover, layup, turnover, layup.” Thus Henrickson will be doing her best to try to prevent a similar early blitz when the Jayhawks tangle with the Bruins today.

Christmas denied by KU
Temple star struggles early
Doing their best Grinch impression, Kansas University’s men’s basketball team stopped Christmas on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
