Guess what? He could have tallied a whole lot more.

“Eric had an opportunity to score 100. He didn’t quite get there,” Kansas coach Roy Williams said after the Jayhawks’ 101-61 victory over the Broncos at Allen Fieldhouse. “I like how active he was. He was trying. He just missed a lot of shots.”

In all, Chenowith, a 7-foot-1 senior center from Orange, Calif., made seven of 15 shots.

“I was so mad I missed that first layup,” Chenowith said.

He missed a pair of inside shots five minutes into the game. “I’ve got to finish. I can do so much better. I missed a lot of easy shots.”

He also made some shots, including a driving layup and a jumper from the top of the key.

What’s more, Chenowith grabbed 13 rebounds in 23 minutes.

“Coach Miller (Ben, assistant) challenged me before the game to get as many rebounds as possible,” Chenowith said. “Coach Williams says he’s never gotten mad at a player for being selfish about rebounds.”

Forward Kenny Gregory led the way with 11 boards.

“Kenny keeps coming down and stealing rebounds from me,” Chenowith joked. “I have a good strong box out and Kenny will fly in and steal the rebound. I’ll work hard so Kenny can look good.”

Kansas junior John Crider, who is out with a torn muscle in his quad, is still pondering a transfer to Washburn University.

Ichabod coach Bob Chipman briefly addressed the situation during a media conference Tuesday to discuss Saturday’s game against Kansas (7:05 p.m. Allen Fieldhouse).

“John and Roy (Williams) have had some man-to-man talks,” Chipman said. “It looks like for him to play the amount of minutes John wants to play, it’s going to be somewhere else (besides KU). I think John has somewhat made that decision (to transfer).

“I don’t know he’s 100 percent with that. He’s probably 95 percent … yes, he wants to go somewhere and play. There’s still that 5 percent he loves KU so much. He’s fighting that a bit.

“I don’t think it’s a given yet (that he’ll transfer),” Chipman added. “John is sorting out: ‘Do I want to stay at KU with my friends here at such a great program?’ Or, ‘Do I want to go and play?’ He’s pretty much got that figured out, but not 100 percent yet.”

Chipman has met with Crider on the Washburn campus and would be willing to give Crider a scholarship if he decides to transfer for second semester.

Crider has declined interview requests to discuss his situation.

KU coach Roy Williams was asked about the state of KU football and coach Terry Allen on Tuesday’s Hawk Talk Radio Show. Allen has had four losing records in four years at KU:

“I am a fan and have a little experience and little knowledge of college athletics,” Williams said. “I’m not saying I’m an expert. I coached high school football for five years. That means I know absolutely nothing.

“But I think we’re in this thing together. I think people talk about what should happen is Terry gonna survive? I think that only hurts us.

“I’ve done some research here. Coach Allen’s record after his first four years is two games different from Bill Snyder’s record over at Kansas State. And he was given a chance to continue and get his program and needless to say he’s done an amazing, amazing job. During those four years we’ve played Texas twice, Texas A&M twice, Texas Tech twice, Notre Dame once. You go back the first four years of Kansas State schedule you will see none of those games.

“I think if we are truly in this together let’s show some courage and show we want some stability here and give a guy a chance to do things the right way. I think if you go around changing football coaches every three or four years I don’t know how you can be successful in any business much less a thing that needs some stability to it. That’s my voice as a fan.

“If anybody asks me as a basketball coach it’ll still be the same thing. I’m hoping that better days are gonna be in front of us for sure but I do believe Terry Allen can get that accomplished.”

Jeff Boschee hit four three-pointers a game after not attempting a three for the first time in his career.

“When a team pressures like that, it does leave a lot of lanes open,” Boschee said. “I just had to knock it down. Kirk and I made some threes the first half (three) and that can get the offense started.”
