Maryland defeated Kansas, 97-88, in the semifinal game of the NCCA Final Four tournament Saturday night in Atlanta.
Maryland (31-4) advances to Monday’s national championship game, where the Terrapins will face the Indiana Hoosiers, who beat Oklahoma, 73-64, earlier Saturday night.
Kansas finishes the season with a 33-4 record. The Jayhawks will return to Lawrence for a welcome home celebration at 4 p.m. Tuesday in KU’s Memorial Stadium.
Kansas began the game by streaking out to a 13-2 lead in the first four minutes. Maryland, however, led by Juan Dixon’s 19 first-half points, chipped away at KU’s lead and went into the locker room up by 7.
In the second half, Maryland caught fire and went up by 20 with 6 minutes left in the game. But Kansas then began clawing back and came back to within 5 points with 2 minutes left to go.
The key to the Terps’ offense was Juan Dixon, who finished with 33. Nick Collison led Kansas with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Jeff Boschee scored 17 points and Drew Gooden added 15.
Aaron Miles scored 12 points and dished out 10 assists. He only shot 1-for-7 from the floor, but hit 10 of his 12 foul shots. The rest of the team only hit 11 free throws out of 19 chances.

Jeff Boschee bricked a free-throw with 19.4 seconds to go. Keith Langford did not miss his opportunity 17 seconds later. In fact, Kansas’ freshmen proved their worth today, as the Jayhawks avenged last year’s Sweet 16 loss to these same Illini.
Langford, Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien combined for 35 of KU’s 73 points. The three frosh held their own on both offense and defense, holding off Illinois’ big Frank Williams when it mattered.

Both Collison and Hinrich earned three first-half fouls each. Collison fouled out with 1:15 to play in the second half.
Drew Gooden each had 15 points, 13 rebounds and four assists; Langford also scored 15 points. Aaron Miles had 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists.

Bulletin: Down by as many as 17 points, the Indiana Hoosiers’ first lead came with under a minute to play in the game. That would be the only lead they would need. Indiana advances to the Great 8 for the first time in the post-Bobby Knight era.
Duke’s magic nearly showed up in the game’s closing seconds with a second-chance three pointer – and a foul. The resulting free throw bounced harmlessly off the rim, and Indiana gained control of the bouncing ball as time expired.

Rumors of the Kansas Jayhawks’ demise proved to be unfounded, much to the dismay of the Stanford Cardinal. Despite an ankle injury to Kirk Hinrich, and a sub-par performance against Holy Cross on Thursday, KU exploded out of the gate and scored the game’s first 15 points.
Freshman Keith Langford got the first start of his college career in place of the injured Hinrich, who entered the game at the 13:05 mark of the first half.
Limping on the court, but otherwise not seeming to be bothered by his injury, Hinrich nailed a basket in the final seconds of the first half to give Kansas a 22-point lead.
The second half was more of the same, as the Jayhawks thoroughly dominated Stanford to earn a trip to the Sweet Sixteen next week. Kansas will face the winner of Sunday’s game between Illinois and Creighton.
KU’s next game is scheduled for Friday, March 22, at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
Jeff Boschee led Kansas with 19 points, including five three-pointers. Nick Collison scored 17 points, Hinrich had 15 and Nick Collison also scored 15.
The team is expected to return to Allen Fieldouse tonight at 12:30 a.m.

Kirk Hinrich went down late in the first half, clutching his ankle, and was taken immediately into the lockers. X-rays returned negative on a break, but probably indicate a severe sprain. He did not return to the game, and is doubtful for Saturday’s second-round match.
Holy Cross capitalized on the loss of Hinrich, and opened a lead of up to five points on the number one seed, Kansas. The Crusaders held onto their lead by slowing down the game’s pace, draining as much time off the clock as they can on each possession.

 Allyouneed |

Kansas has since regained control of the lead, if not the game, and managed to keep the underdogs to just two points in the game’s final two minutes.
When KU jumped out to an early 11-4 lead, they looked to have the game well in hand. The only problem is that they forgot to tell their opponents. Holy Cross promptly went on a 14-4 tear, to build a three-point lead of their own by the 11:25 mark of the first half.
The bleeding ended after two more Holy Cross points, and Kansas regained the lead two minutes later.
KU’s lead never stretched beyond a few points, and the Crusaders refused to be put away. Several ties and lead changes later, and the heavily favored Jayhawks went into the lockers trailing by two points.
No number one seed has ever lost to a number 16 in the NCAA men’s tournament.
Drew Gooden led all scoring with 19 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. Jeff Boschee had 13 points, Hinrich and Keith Langford each had nine.
Kansas will play the winner of tonight’s Stanford-Western Kentucky game.

Having lost five of the previous six visits to Columbia, the Kansas Jayhawks went into perhaps the toughest place on their road schedule and came out with a perfect Big 12 record. Despite going more than eight minutes in the second half without making a field goal, Kansas held on to become the only NCAA team to go undefeated in conference play.
With a 95-92 victory over the Tigers, the Jayhawks became the first team in the history of the Big 12 to go undefeated in the league, and they became the first KU team to be undefeated in league play since the 1970-71 Jayhawks.
Missouri drew first blood, racing out to a 10-2 lead. “Racing” is an apt description of the first half, as Missouri played Kansas’ fast-paced game and did quite well for a while. After Kirk Hinrich’s three-pointer with 5:30 left in the first half, KU didn’t trail again until late in the game.
The Tigers went cold in the final four minutes of the first half, hitting just one field goal and missing six of 10 foul shots.
Absent from much of KU’s offense was senior Jeff Boschee, making his last visit to Columbia. He picked up three early fouls in the first half and a fourth just seven ticks into the second.
With Boschee on the bench, the two teams went toe-to-toe until it was the Jayhawks’ turn to go cold. During an eight-minute span KU only hit five foul shots as it saw its lead shrink. The return of Jeff Boschee and his timely three-pointer right at the eight-minute mark woke Kansas up.
Missouri kept slugging away, and took the lead with just under two minutes to play. The Jayhawks have seen their share of tough road games this season and were able to respond with a pair of baskets to go up by three with time running out.
MU burned a time out with 6.2 seconds left to set its final play. The Tigers could not find the basket and time ran out, ending the Big 12 regular season.
Nick Collison paced Kansas with his career-high 28 points. Hinrich had 25 points, Drew Gooden scored 15 and Keith Langford added 14. As a team, Kansas shot 49 percent from the floor and hit 21 of 30 free throws.
Clarence Gilbert led Missouri with 27 points. Mizzou hit just 43 percent of its shots but hit 10 of 24 three-pointers. Missouri outrebounded Kansas 46-42.
Next up for Kansas is the Big 12 Tournament. KU’s first game is noon Friday against the winner of Thursday’s Colorado-Nebraska game.

MU burned a time out with 6.2 seconds left to set its final play. The Tigers could not find the basket and time ran out, ending the Big 12 regular season.
Nick Collison paced Kansas with his career-high 28 points. Hinrich had 25 points, Drew Gooden scored 15 and Keith Langford added 14. As a team, Kansas shot 49 percent from the floor and hit 21 of 30 free throws.
Clarence Gilbert led Missouri with 27 points. Mizzou hit just 43 percent of its shots but hit 10 of 24 three-pointers. Missouri outrebounded Kansas 46-42.
Next up for Kansas is the Big 12 Tournament. KU’s first game is noon Friday against the winner of Thursday’s Colorado-Nebraska game.

Having lost five of the previous six visits to Columbia, the Kansas Jayhawks went into perhaps the toughest place on their road schedule and came out with a perfect Big 12 record. Despite going more than eight minutes in the second half without making a field goal, Kansas held on to become the only NCAA team to go undefeated in conference play.
With a 95-92 victory over the Tigers, the Jayhawks became the first team in the history of the Big 12 to go undefeated in the league, and they became the first KU team to be undefeated in league play since the 1970-71 Jayhawks.
Missouri drew first blood, racing out to a 10-2 lead. “Racing” is an apt description of the first half, as Missouri played Kansas’ fast-paced game and did quite well for a while. After Kirk Hinrich’s three-pointer with 5:30 left in the first half, KU didn’t trail again until late in the game.
The Tigers went cold in the final four minutes of the first half, hitting just one field goal and missing six of 10 foul shots.
Absent from much of KU’s offense was senior Jeff Boschee, making his last visit to Columbia. He picked up three early fouls in the first half and a fourth just seven ticks into the second.

All six seniors tried to take the court for the start of the game. The referee made one of them leave, and Todd Kappleman had to take a seat. For the first time this year the Kansas Jayhawks had a different starting lineup. Jeff Carey, Chris Zerbe, Lewis Harrison, Brett Ballard and Jeff Boschee took the opening tip and ran out to a 10-to-0 lead.
In fact, Kansas State did not score until the 16:48 mark of the first half. Right after that bucket KU coach Roy Williams restored the regular starters to the game. Those starters must have caught a case of senioritis, because they gave up 16 Wildcat points to their own seven, and just like that KU’s lead was down to one point.
Kansas then ran off the next 13 points, and the rest of the game returned to normal. Halftime score: Kansas 50, Kansas State 30.
Throughout the entire second half, KU’s lead did not dip below 20 points. Instead, the lead continued to grow, hitting 30 at the 16:48 mark. The lead flirted with 40 for a while, finally breaking through on a Jeff Boschee bomb at the 3:32 mark, topping off the lead at 42.
Kansas would only manage a Chris Zerbe basket after that, but the outcome had long since ceased to be in doubt.
Kirk Hinrich led Kansas with 24 points, followed closely by Jeff Boschee with 22. Drew Gooden scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Wayne Simien had 10 points with seven boards and Nick Collison added 12 points. Aaron Miles contributed with eight assists.
Next up for the Jayhawks is a season-ending trip to Missouri on Sunday, March 3.

World Online report: Jayhawks escape Lincoln, 88-87
With Kirk Hinrich having fouled out just before, Keith Langford hit a clutch three-pointer to give Kansas the lead with 32.9 seconds left in the game – their first lead since the 16:24 mark. The Jayhawks overcame a determined Cornhusker team that hit a monstrous 18 of 37 three-point shots.
Nebraska didn’t waste its second shot at No. 1 Kansas. When these teams met earlier this season in Lawrence, Kansas had just been voted to the top of the Associated Press poll. KU won by 39 points.
Kansas took the opening tip and hit its first three shots before Nebraska could get on the board. Four minutes later, KU had doubled up the Huskers 14-to-7 in what was starting to look like a typical Jayhawk romp. Nebraska had other ideas.
For the remainder of the first half, the hosts would spend more time in the lead than the visitors.
Coming back after a timeout with 6:41 left in the half, Nebraska opened up a six-point lead. Kansas would outscore the Big Red from that point 12-to-6 to take the game into the locker rooms knotted at 41.
The second half followed the blueprint of the first. Kansas scored six quick points and looked to have regained control. All the Huskers did in response was rip off a 21-to-4 run to take a 12-point lead.
Kansas slowly clawed back into the game, but whenever they got close Nebraska would hit another three to keep the Jayhawks at bay.
With just under two minutes to play, Nebraska hit one last three-pointer to go up 85-79. Brett Ballard tied the game at 85 with just 55 ticks left. Hinrich picked up his fifth foul away from the play, which brought in Langford. Cary Cochran hit both free throws to put Nebraska up by two. Langford hit his three-pointer, and KU was able to hold off the Huskers to seal the win.
Drew Gooden led all scoring with 26 points. Hinrich and Jeff Boschee each scored 14, Aaron Miles added 12 and Nick Collison chipped in eight. Kansas shot 49 percent from the floor wile holding Nebraska to just 39 percent – despite the Cornhuskers making 49 percent from beyond the arc.
With this win, Kansas clinches the Big 12 regular season championship. Up next for the Jayhawks is senior night Wednesday against Kansas State.

Break out the scissors. The Rock-Chalk chant had some competition at the end of the Jayhawks’ victory over the Iowa State Cyclones. In addition to that time-honored tradition, the crowd implored junior Drew Gooden to stay “one more year!” Right at the end, the cry changed to “we’re number one!”
Not only are the Jayhawks at the top of both national polls, but they have now clinched at least a tie for the Big 12 regular season championship.
After the game, the team broke out hats with the word “champion” emblazoned above the brim. Then came the ladder and the scissors, with each player and coach taking his turn and a snip at the cords.
The outcome of this game was never really in doubt. Kansas did not actually start out on fire, but Iowa State could manage only one basket and two free throws in the first 9:35. By that point Kansas was up by 13, and the margin would only get bigger throughout the game.
The Cyclones hit the first six points of the second half, but they were too far down to mount a serious comeback. KU’s lead never dipped below 18 points, and grew to as many as 38.
By the end, several of KU’s bench players saw action. Lewis Harrison scored his first points of the season. Brett Ballard, Chris Zerbe and Todd Kappleman scored three points each.
Drew Gooden led Kansas with 26 points and nine rebounds. Nick Collison added 16 points, Wayne Simien contributed 15 and Kirk Hinrich had 10. Aaron Miles scored five points, but dished out nine assists and grabbed four steals.
As a team, KU shot 62.5 percent from the floor, and outrebounded Iowa State 36-25.
Next up for Kansas is a trip to Nebraska on Sunday. One more home game remains, against Kansas State next Wednesday, February 27.

The kid brothers of Nick Collison and Keith Langford sat in with the student section. The way the big Jayhawks were playing, the younger versions would have done just as well as their brothers. Kansas’ margin of victory only grew as big as it did in the game’s closing minutes, and Kansas came away with a respectable-looking 15-point win.
Michael Collison and Justin Wesley (Keith Langford’s brother), both 10, watched the game from the front row of the North end student section, as guests of the Phog Phanatics student camping group. The younger Collison said he likes the attention he receives, and commented that “most of the time it’s fun” to be recognized as Nick’s little brother.
Last year, the Bears handed the Jayhawks perhaps their most humbling defeat of the season, an 85-to-77 setback at Waco. Not to take anything away from Baylor, but the Jayhawks were really off their game today, hitting only 47 percent from the field, and just 12-of-21 from the foul line.
Baylor led often throughout the first half – the last coming with under a minute to play – as both teams had trouble finding the basket. KU’s games are normally quick-paced with a lot of scoring, but not this day. Jeff Boschee, hitting four of his six three-pointers in the first half, helped Kansas hold on to a 40-36 halftime lead.
The second half started just as slow and low as the first. KU was gradually able to pull away, but at an achingly slow pace. The Jayhawks’ biggest lead, 17 points, came with just under a minute in the game. Baylor hit one last layup and the game was over.
Two bright spots for Kansas were the performances of Jeff Boschee and Michael Collison’s big brother. The elder Collison ended up with 22 points and 10 rebounds. All Boschee did was hit six of his 10 three-point attempts, and then finish with 21 points overall.
Drew Gooden managed another double-double with 11 points and 14 boards. Kirk Hinrich added 11 points, and Aaron Miles dished out nine assists to go with his seven points. As a team Kansas grabbed 43 rebounds to Baylor’s 35.
Next up for the Jayhawks is their final Big Monday of the season, this time at home hosting the Iowa State Cyclones.

The kid brothers of Nick Collison and Keith Langford sat in with the student section. The way the big Jayhawks were playing, the younger versions would have done just as well as their brothers. Kansas’ margin of victory only grew as big as it did in the game’s closing minutes, and Kansas came away with a respectable-looking 15-point win.
Michael Collison and Justin Wesley (Keith Langford’s brother), both 10, watched the game from the front row of the North end student section, as guests of the Phog Phanatics student camping group. The younger Collison said he likes the attention he receives, and commented that “most of the time it’s fun” to be recognized as Nick’s little brother.
Last year, the Bears handed the Jayhawks perhaps their most humbling defeat of the season, an 85-to-77 setback at Waco. Not to take anything away from Baylor, but the Jayhawks were really off their game today, hitting only 47 percent from the field, and just 12-of-21 from the foul line.
Baylor led often throughout the first half – the last coming with under a minute to play – as both teams had trouble finding the basket. KU’s games are normally quick-paced with a lot of scoring, but not this day. Jeff Boschee, hitting four of his six three-pointers in the first half, helped Kansas hold on to a 40-36 halftime lead.
The second half started just as slow and low as the first. KU was gradually able to pull away, but at an achingly slow pace. The Jayhawks’ biggest lead, 17 points, came with just under a minute in the game. Baylor hit one last layup and the game was over.
Two bright spots for Kansas were the performances of Jeff Boschee and Michael Collison’s big brother. The elder Collison ended up with 22 points and 10 rebounds. All Boschee did was hit six of his 10 three-point attempts, and then finish with 21 points overall.
Drew Gooden managed another double-double with 11 points and 14 boards. Kirk Hinrich added 11 points, and Aaron Miles dished out nine assists to go with his seven points. As a team Kansas grabbed 43 rebounds to Baylor’s 35.

Two Kansas freshmen got a little older on the road. With Drew Gooden in foul trouble for most of the night, Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles stepped up and turned in performances that would look good on a graduating senior.
Riding a two-game lead over Oklahoma – three games over tonight’s foe Texas – Kansas looked to keep some distance between them and the rest of the Big 12 field. The Longhorns made a different argument, however, and carried that argument into overtime.
Holding on to a one-point lead with 86 seconds remaining in regulation, Kansas failed to convert a pair of foul shots before making one. Texas managed to tie the score with just 31.1 left. KU worked the ball up the court, called a time-out and set up their endgame. Two missed shots later and the game went into the extra frame.
Last year’s KU-Texas game in Lawrence was the occasion of Roy Williams’ jacket-throwing incident. He kept his cool tonight, though the game provided no fewer sparks this year in Austin.
Texas hit the first overtime basket, but Jeff Boschee’s pair of three-pointers put Kansas up by more than one possession. KU then played keep-away from the Longhorns and hit enough foul shots to seal the victory.
Drew Gooden paced KU with 28 points – 17 in the second half alone. No fewer than five other Jayhawks reached double figures. Wayne Simien scored a career-high 17 points to go with 10 rebounds. Jeff Boschee knocked in 21 points, Kirk Hinrich scored 14 and Nick Collison added 15 points and 12 boards.
In the battle of freshmen point guards, KU’s Aaron Miles scored 10 points with 13 assists, while his Longhorn counterpart, T.J. Ford scored 16 points. Read the Lawrence Journal-World story on the match-up.
Brandon Mouton led Texas with 25 points, but did not score in overtime.
Next up for Kansas is a home game Saturday against Baylor.

Jim Wooldridge should get ejected more often. With 11:21 to go in the second half, the Kansas State coach objected to a no-call on the court and got a technical foul for his concern. Angered, he stormed out to center court where a second official gave him a second tech, automatically removing him from the game.
Jeff Boschee hit three of the resulting four foul shots, giving Kansas a 77-46 lead. Once play resumed, however, the Wildcats spat out a 19-5 run to claw back into the game.
Kansas State played the rest of the game with the same fire they had in their two impressive upset wins against Texas and Oklahoma State. Tonight, however, the game was already too far gone to matter. Kansas responded with pressure of their own, winning for the 19th straight time in Manhattan. Kansas has not lost in Bramlage Coliseum.
The first half was bombs away for Kansas, launching from long distance and finding success. KU hit five of their first seven three-point attempts, and eight of 13 overall, in building a 21-point first half lead.
The Wildcats’ Larry Reid led all scorers with 27 points, but Kirk Hinrich was the star of the game. In addition to his 26 points and 10-for-10 free-throw shooting, he grabbed a game-high seven rebounds and dished six assists.
Jeff Boschee scored 16 points, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Drew Gooden and Nick Collison each had 15 points, and Wayne Simien added 12.
Kansas dominated the rebounds, grabbing 37 to KSU’s 25, and had 26 assists to 17 turnovers. KU shot 22-26 from the free-throw line, while Kansas State sank just seven of 17 foul shots.
