Arizona bemoans turnovers
Down three. Seven seconds left. Who would Arizona go to? Seniors Jason Gardner and Luke Walton, of course.
Cottrell: Woodling: Big 12 lacking spectators
Basketball attendance down at 11 schools
Where have all the Big 12 Conference men’s basketball fans gone? According to the latest league statistics, Kansas is the only school in the league that hasn’t experienced an attendance decline. The Jayhawks, as they have been for years, are filling Allen Fieldhouse to its 16,300 capacity — or very close to it.
Jayhawks swat the Hornets, 113-61
With just over ten minutes to play in the game, Kansas hit the century mark on a Kirk Hinrich jumper. On the following time out, with KU up by 55 points, Roy Williams pulled all five starters. KU’s bench and ESU played fairly evenly after that, but the Hornets outscored KU 19-13 after the Jayhawk starters left the game. All told, 11 different Kansas players scored.
Kansas picks up road win at Tulsa, 89-80
It was a barn-burner in Tulsa. Roy’s Boys rebounded from a loss at Oregon last weekend by making the Golden Hurricane their first road victom of the season, thereby avoiding its first 3-4 start since 1971. No matter how many times Kansas tried to pull away, the Golden Hurricane kept pulling back into the game.
Jayhawks plucked by Ducks, 84-78
After not holding the lead since three minutes into the contest, Kansas battled back from down by as many as 14 points to forge a tie with 3:40 remaining in the game. Oregon scored the next basket to regain the lead, and held KU to just one free throw on the next Jayhawk possession. In fact, Kansas could only hit one field goal after that tie, getting outscored 10-4, and let the game slip away.
Jayhawks skin Mules, 97-70
Kansas did just fine without Kirk Hinrich. The four other regular starters each notched over 20 points - career nights for Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles - completely absorbing Hinrich’s absence. On the down side, the Jayhawk bench did not step up, scoring just 10 points, including two from plug-in starter Bryant Nash on the only shot he put up. Combined, KU’s bench went 2-for-13 from the floor, and 6-for-9 from the foul line.
Gators chomp Jayhawks, 83-73
Roy Williams warned everyone that he thought his team did not deserve all the preseason accolades heaped on them. This week the team proved him right. Before this week, Williams had never lost a preseason NIT game. Now he has lost two in a row. Despite a furious second-half comeback that whittled Florida’s lead from 19 down to two points, Kansas could not overcome 14-for-31 three-point UF shooting. Overall, Kansas turned in a worse performance than Wednesday’s loss to North Carolina, hitting just 38 percent from the floor, and only 22-of-36 free throws.
Jayhawk women improve to 2-0: Kansas 66, Cal State Fullerton 56
For a young team, the Kansas women’s basketball squad is playing like they have been together for years. Kansas held on to their lead late, despite several Titan charges. At one point KU’s lead was as large as 16 points, but was often as slim as four. Whenever CSU-Fullerton pulled close, Kansas would regroup and pull away again. Led by Blair Waltz and her career-high 20 points, KU has won back-to-back games since March 6, 2001.
Kansas loses to the Tarheels: 67-56
Kansas and Florida looked to come to New York City and slug it out for the preseason NIT championship. They will still play, but the prize will be not leaving the Big Apple with two straight losses. Roy Williams has never lost a pre-season NIT game until tonight. His team was unable to recover from 21 turnovers and UNC’s fabulous freshmen, who played like seasoned veterens.
Jayhawks blow out Spartans: 105-66
Kansas’ five starters are among the best in the nation. They are so good that saying they overshadow their bench would be a gross understatement - either that, or the Jayhawk bench is so far below standard that the starting five MUST carry the load. Either way, KU dominated the Spartans in every way that one basketball team can dominate another. Take out UNCG’s top scorer and the visitors would have had only 39 points.
Jayhawks cream Crusaders, 81-57
Last year, Kansas lost its very first game to Ball State at the Maui Invitational. They nearly lost to Holy Cross in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Put the two together, and that might have spelled trouble for Kansas. The Crusaders began each half hot, but grew stone-cold in each frame. An 18-point halftime lead blossomed to 29 at one point, and was only trimmed to 24 when the Kansas deep bench played out the final minute.
Jayhawks crushed by Cowboys: 55-20
Here is an encapsulation of Kansas’ 2002 season: punter Curtis Ansel completed a 23-yard UNDERHAND pass to Greg Heaggans off a fake punt, but on the very next play Clark Green fumbled the ball - OSU’s Terrence Robinson scooped it up and rumbled 93 yards for a Cowboy touchdown. The extra point marked the 507th point given up by KU this year - a new record in futility. That equates to an averge of 42.25 points given up in each of KU’s 12 games this season.
Kansas Shut out by Kansas State: 64-0
The Governer’s Cup will stay in Manhattan for another year. Saturday’s 64-0 humiliation now stands as the most points scored by Kansas State in the history of the Sunflower showdown. KSU’s stats through just three quarters would make for an outstanding day for any team: 20 first downs, 446 total yards on 68 plays and a possession time of 29:35.
KU bowlers open season on the road
Teamwork. Sure, bowling is an individual sport: one person, one ball and ten pins. The one thing that bonds this Kansas team together, however, is the team itself.
Jayhawks blown out by Buffs: 53-29
Looking at Kansas’ stats, they had a good game. Quarterback Bill Whittemore rushed for over 100 yards and two touchdowns, and passed for over 200 yards and two more scores. Seven different KU receivers caught passes, and the defense recorded a safety. Sounds great. Then there are Colorado’s stats. Chris Brown alone rushed for over 300 yards, and as a team CU gained 546 yards total. It was a massacre.

Kansas records first win of the Mark Mangino Era: KU 44, SMS 24
When Greg Heaggans bobbled the opening kickoff on his own goal line, it looked like an inauspicious beginning was about to befall Kansas’ home opener. One hundred yards later, and Mark Mangino had his first lead as the Jayhawks’ head coach. By the third quarter, Heaggans had amassed a whopping 195 yards on kickoff returns, smashing the previous record set by Jayhawk legend John Hadl against Syracuse in 1959. By the end of the game, Mangino and the Jayhawks chalked up their first win of the season.
