Richard was ofered tickets and
coyly ofered to take Jeanie with
him, the two rushed to Kemper
Arena to cheer on the Jayhawks in
an unexpected 83-79 upset victory.
Te winthe game, the season,
the teamfelt like nothing short of
a miracle to be a part of.
It was a once in a lifetime bas-
ketball game, Richard said.
Te Schiefelbuschs have wit-
nessed more than just winning
seasons. In the mid-1960s, they
would spot Jo Jo Whites family in
the stands at the Fieldhouse. Black
players had only begun to emerge
on the national basketball scene
but the Jayhawks already had role
models like White and Wilt Cham-
berlain to lead the way.
Richard remembered how Wilt
the Stilt opened Lawrence up.
He would casually take a news-
paper and go into a restaurant and
sit down to read and order cofee
and if they didnt bring it, he was
patient, Richard said. Someone
would say, Why dont you serve
this guy? Hes famous! He became
integrated in his own pattern. He
was always liked. He had a knack
for being social, confdent.
Racial confict in Lawrence
could not interfere with enjoying
Jayhawk basketball. Despite ten-
sions in Lawrence when she was in
middle school, Jeanie found that all
strain disintegrated during games.
It seemed like basketball was
someplace you could go where you
didnt feel that; it was just people
enjoying basketball and you didnt
feel that racial strife inside the
Fieldhouse, Jeanie said.
Allen Fieldhouse acted as a sanc-
tuary: nothing could foil the rush
of adrenaline as the Jayhawks swat-
ted down opposing shots, piloted
a breakaway layup or drilled shot
afer shot like a well-oiled machine.
Basketball games became a hobby,
a ritual, a sacred bonding time as
the two returned to the Fieldhouse
year afer year.
Almost exactly four years ago,
my mom died, Jeanie said. Te
next day, we had tickets to the game
and we went. We just felt like we
needed to do that. We needed the
energy from the Fieldhouse and to
just be together doing something
that we always do. It felt right.
In years past, Jeanie and Richard
drove a recently-widowed friend of
Richard who would take a picture
of his deceased wife with him to sit
with at the games so he would feel
like he was still there with her.
Considering Richards age, the
two have a talk every year and
weigh the decision to buy season
tickets again. Without saying a
word, Jeanie tips the scales in the
positive.
I cant imagine KU basketball
without you, Jeanie said. I just
cherish every game that were there
together.
Te tradition continues. Jeanie
and Richard will root on the team
against TCU Saturday and all other
home games this year in the front
row above the visiting team en-
trance, in seats fve and six, row
eight of section K1, where theyve
sat for nearly the past decade.
Its been 50 years and I hope
every year wont be the last, Jeanie
said. She turned to Richard and
added laughing: Well take you in
a wheelchair, Dad. Well get you in
there.

FARMERSBURG, Ind. An
Indiana school district reeling
from the uproar over a teachers
comments that she believes gays
have no purpose in life suspend-
ed the woman Wednesday.
Superintendent
Mark Baker of
the Northeast
School Corp.
in west-
ern Indianas
Sullivan County
issued a state-
ment saying
the teacher has
been placed on
administrative
leave out of
concern for the safety and secu-
rity of everyone in our buildings.
He added that as a precaution
the Sullivan County Sheriff s
Department and Indiana State
Police have deemed it necessary
to station an officer at North
Central Junior-Senior High
School in Farmersburg, about 75
miles southwest of Indianapolis.
He said the administra-
tion and one school employee
in particular at the school have
received aggressive email mes-
sages.
We are turning over to law
enforcement all such communi-
cations, Baker said.
The superintendent did not
identify the teacher, but special
education teacher Diana Medleys
c o m m e n t s
have circu-
lated widely on
social network-
ing sites amid
news cover-
age in nearby
Sullivan of a
no n - s c h o o l
s a n c t i o n e d
prom that
would ban gay
students. Sullivan, a city of about
4,200, is near the Illinois border.
I just ... I dont understand it,
Medley said when asked whether
homosexuals have a purpose in
life. She was speaking to WTWO-
TV of Terre Haute at a planning
meeting earlier this month for
the anti-gay dance.
Medley, who has no published
telephone number, couldnt be
reached for comment Wednesday.
She didnt immediately respond
to a message that The Associated
Press sent to her school email
account.
As many of you know and
appreciate, our school corpora-
tion is continuing to manage as
responsibly and respectfully as
possible the fallout from com-
ments made by an employee as
she attended a meeting outside of
school or a school activity, Baker
said. We have conveyed our dis-
appointment and our disagree-
ment with these statements and
have emphasized her comments
do not reflect our schools views
or opinions.
As of Wednesday, a petition on
Change.org calling for Medleys
dismissal had generated more
than 19,500 signatures from as
far away as the United Kingdom,
and a Facebook page support-
ing a prom that includes all
students had more than 28,000
likes. Meanwhile, some gay rights
groups are trying to bolster the
confidence of gay teens with a
Facebook page that will collect
supportive videos.

eyonc. She doesnt need a
last name. She doesnt need
an introduction.
Beyonc is the best thing that
has ever happened to America.
Its an indisputable fact. Find me a
person that doesnt like Beyonc.
She should be every females role
model and every guys dream.
If there is one thing to take-
away from Beyoncs HBO
Documentary, Life is but a
Dream, its that Beyonc has
remained relatively grounded
given her uncharted success.
Thats right. Beyonc is just
like the rest of us she talks
to herself, carries her Macbook
around like its a national treasure,
cusses, laughs obnoxiously, cries
in moments of weakness and
makes questionable wardrobe
choices. She does all of this with
legs most of us could only dream
of, an incredible voice and a big-
ger bank account than some small
countries, all while sleeping with
Jay-Z.
The cover of Vogues March
Power issue is graced with the
music industrys original diva, the
queen herself. But the Destinys
Child star didnt build this empire
overnight.
During her climb to the top,
Beyonc had her peaks and pit-
falls and is no different than any-
one else in this regard.
Beyonc let fans into her life
by talking about the personal
struggles she has overcome, the
battle between her father and
former manager, who was unable
to keep business and family
relationships separate, and what
inspired her to work even harder
and eventually become her own
manager. She didnt become
famous overnight from a YouTube
video or homemade, self-released
sex tape. Beyonc started as and
continues to be a determined,
self-proclaimed perfectionist and
talented singer who isnt going to
stop anytime soon.
Not only did she work hard
you cant say she worked her
ass offbut she did it all for the
ladies. Beyonc is the defini-
tion of girl powersorry, Spice
Girls. Jay-Z may have put a ring
on it, but that didnt slow down
Beyoncs inner-independent
woman.
In her documentary, she flaw-
lessly explains her ongoing sup-
port for women and why she
feels a sense of obligation to
make women feel empowered.
Women have to work much
harder to make it in this world,
Beyonc said. It really pisses
me off that women dont get the
same opportunities as men do, or
money for that matter. Because,
lets face it, money gives men the
power to run the show. It gives
men the power to define our
values and to define whats sexy
and whats feminine, and thats
bullshit. At the end of the day, its
not about equal rights, its about
how we think. We have to shape
our own perception of how we
view ourselves.
Her sense of empowerment
shows through her strength
and self-confidence. How many
women could go on stage in what
she wears?
Bottom line, Beyonc is with-
out a doubt an extremely gifted
human being, who built her own
empire and created her own suc-
cess, like the rest of us can.
Its Beyoncs world and we are
all just living in it. Who runs this
mother? Beyonc.

journalism from Flower Mound, Texas.
I
ts coming. Everyone says so.
Snow will inherit the
earth, and chances are it has
already covered the sacred hills of
Lawrence.
Im willing to bet that every
student is extremely happy about
the chances of classes being
canceled at the University. The
University forcing students to
skip class is always more fun than
skipping class because students
are lazy. But one thing I know
students dont think about when
classes are canceled is possibly
the most crucial: Snow is the
worst.
First and foremost, snow is
dangerous. The University doesnt
cancel classes because Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little thinks stu-
dents would really enjoy playing
in the snow and having a grand
ol time. Noclasses get canceled
because people could possibly die
if they were to drive to and from
campus on the icy roads, or if
one of the buses lost control and
rammed into walking students.
Classes get canceled to save your
life.
I understand why people are
excited for classes being canceled,
but replacing boring lectures with
dangerous weather conditions
seems to be hardly an enjoyable
consolation.
I remember The Great
Snowpocalypse of 2011. I was
there. I survived. But I hated
snow then, and Im going to hate
snow now.
Maybe its because, even
though Ive been in Lawrence
for four years, I still havent gone
sledding down Mount Oread.
Maybe its because Im known
in the Kansan newsroom as
Grumpy Cat, and seem to be
notorious for hating everything
that exists. Maybe its because
during that great snow storm of
2011, I still had to work those
supposedly glorious days that
classes were canceled by the
University. And on my way to
work, my truck got stuck in the
snow and left me stranded.
Those are all real possibilities
as to why my heart is still ice cold
when tiny snowflakes fall from
the sky. But its also possible that
ever since the state deemed it
legal for me to drive a car, Ive
understood that snow can be a
real deterrent to everything that
is good. Instead of being able to
get to the places I want to be in a
timely, stress-free manner, I have
to plan out a strategic plan of
safety to travel. And sometimes
snow keeps people locked up
inside for several days, stopping
them from being able to get the
hot soup that they enjoy on an
ice-cold day.
But as I write this, I know none
of those are the real reason I hate
snow so much. The real reason is
the aftermath. The elements left
behind after snow surrenders to
the changing of the season: sand
and salt.
That nasty combination of
sand and salt that cities use to
try (and completely fail) to stop
snow and ice building up and
allow cars to drive on the roads.
Maybe the salt does help melt the
iceIm not a scientist, so I wont
guessbut is it really worth it
when there is such a nasty mix-
ture left behind when the snow
disappears? Probably not.
Once the snow is gone, I cringe
when I walk on the sidewalks
and see (and sometimes even
feel through my shoes) the mix-
ture. Its disgusting. There really
must be a better way to prepare
for something so sinister. This
method really does seem like it
was created in the 1700s.
General Washington, how
should we get rid of the snow?
asked a loyal American soldier
on Dec. 25, 1776, when George
Washington led his army across a
frozen Delaware River.
Salt, said the soon-to-be
leader of the Free World, General
George Washington. We will
use salt and sand to clear our
path and win the war against the
British.
Sure. That didnt happen. But
thats how I feel when such an asi-
nine concept is used so regularly
to no avail in a world that allows
me to shut off my lights at night
by simply clapping.
Maybe if the United States of
America were to develop a much
better way to prepare for icy
conditions, I wouldnt hate snow
so much. Maybe if classes are
canceled today, and I spend all
my free time enjoying my life by
sledding down Mount Oread, I
wont hate snow so much.
But for now, I do. Screw you,
snow.

I
ve reached the point where
I automatically grow suspi-
cious any time an established
action franchise feels the need
to introduce the heros estranged
son. I guess you could call me
Mutt-shy. Yes, thats a reference
to Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf),
the illegitimate greaser ofspring of
Indiana Jones; a clownish pit stain
of a character whose vine-swing-
ing, hair-gelling antics helped make
2008s Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull the Bataan Death March of
summer blockbusters.
So when I frst heard A Good
Day to Die Hard, the ffh and
feeblest installment in the Die
Hard series, would involve John
McClane (Bruce Willis) traveling
to Russia to save his CIA operative
son (Sam Worthington clone Jai
Courtney), the news raised more
red fags than the Soviet National
Anthem. Like the Indiana Jones
quartet, the Die Hard flms have
moved beyond the neat, natural
endpoint of a trilogy and now exist
solely out of an almost vampiric
sense of brand preservation, one
that feeds on an audiences nos-
talgia for a beloved character and
ofers them nothing but a stunted,
lifeless imitation.
You see, John McClane isnt real-
ly John McClane anymore. Gone is
the noble, wisecracking New Jersey
cowboy of 1988, the bullet-headed
paragon of blue-collar virtue who
would crawl barefoot across bro-
ken glass to protect the innocent
from international crooks and ter-
rorists like the original flms aris-
tocratic arch-villain Hans Gruber
(Alan Rickman). Te McClane
who appears in A Good Day to
Die Hard is the quintessential
ugly American, a boorish bufoon
who barrels across a busy Moscow
highway in a stolen truck, casually
crushing dozens of civilians, all to
rescue his son, a capable govern-
ment agent who neither wants nor
needs his old mans help.
Te story, something about a
corrupt Russian defense minis-
ter and the radioactive vault he
lef buried beneath the ruins of
Chernobyl, is an unfocused,
convoluted muddle that renders
McClane a supporting player in
his own movie. Tat leaves us with
Courtneys Jack McClane, the latest
in a long line of action heroes with
a terminal case of daddy issues. His
Im extra tough cause you were
never there for me! repartee with
Willis is interrupted by a series of
progressively bigger, duller action
sequences, starting with a concus-
sive, blundering romp through
Moscow that made me long for a
similar scene in Goldeneye where
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) com-
mandeers a T-55 tank for a joyride
through Red Square.
Longtime fans were quick to
disparage 2007s Live Free or Die
Hard because of its bland PG-13
rating and Willis willingness to
suddenly turn his everyman cop
into an invulnerable superhero.
Tose same tendencies are out in
force here, especially during scenes
where McClane emerges from
searing explosions and a fve-story
death plunge with nary a scratch,
while young Jack gets bruised and
bloodied in a way that seems pretty
convincing by action movie stan-
dards.
Despite his fantastic turn
as an assassin being hunted by
his younger self in last years
time travel opus Looper, Willis
remains an actor with no tan-
gible qualms about sleepwalking
his way through sub-par projects.
Did he read Skip Woods abysmal
screenplay and realize the writer
of universally panned dreck like
Hitman and X-Men Origins:
Wolverine would be wrong for the
Die Hard universe? Did he watch
the dailies and shake his head at
director John Moores nauseating
fondness for quick cuts and shaky-
cam as opposed to well-mounted,
inventively choreographed action
scenes? Or had the check already
cleared?
Its difcult to imagine Willis
not harboring some private doubts
about essentially mortgaging the
future of the character that made
him a star 25 years ago. Te only
way to redeem the series at this
point is to go back to basics, back
to the scenario perfected by direc-
tor John McTiernan in the frst and
third movies: McClane the reluc-
tant hero trapped in an enclosed
space with interesting bad guys to
kill and loved ones to defend. Until
that happens, the Die Hard fran-
chise will remain on life support.

Building top-quality race cars
from scratch is more than a hobby
for engineering students.
Jayhawk Motorsports is a student
group that designs, builds and races
formula cars. The team builds two
cars each year: one electric car and
one combustion car that runs on
ethanol. Reaching 60 mph in four
seconds is the ultimate goal.
There are three teams within the
Jayhawk Motorsports team: chassis
and aerodynamics, suspension and
powertrain.
The powertrain team works on
the engine and the components of
it, such as the exhaust and the cool-
ing system. Jeff Dickinson, a senior
from Manhattan, is the team lead
of the eight-member powertrain
team. Dickinson said that they use
the cars from previous years as a
guideline to figure out what went
well and what didnt go so well.
Overland Park senior Matt Toft
is the Leader of the seven-member
suspension team. The suspension
team works on parts of the cars
such as the shocks, breaks and
steering. Toft said the ultimate goal
is to get as much force into the tires
as possible. Toft has been interested
in cars since he first started driving
and plans to go into automotive
engineering.
Its the freedom of getting away,
Toft said.
Adam Jeffries, a senior from
Leawood, is a mechanical engineer-
ing major, and the leader of the
seven-member chassis team. The
chassis team creates the body of the
car. The bodies of the two cars are
made up of several layers of carbon
fiber. The design is first cut out of
foam, covered in carbon fiber and
then baked until hardened.
Our biggest thing this year is
reducing weight, Jeffries said. Its
an intricate process.
Some Jayhawk Motorsports team
members spend 40 to 50 hours per
week working in the shop. The
middle of March is their goal to
have all of the parts machined and
put together, with April 1 as their
running car deadline. Jeffries said
that this project is as close to real
life work as the students can get.
Its one of the most challeng-
ing things a lot of us will ever do,
Jeffries said.
Robert Sorem, the faculty advi-
sor for Jayhawk Motorsports, has
been working with the team since
it first started in 1993. There are
about 50 team members total,
including volunteers. Sorem said
that the multidisciplinary aspect of
the team is one of the best parts of
the program.
It encompasses everything in
engineering, Sorem said.
Jayhawk Motorsports competes
in multiple national competitions
each summer. Last year, the team
finished building one of their cars
in the trailer on the way to a com-
petition in Detroit. They finished
around 60th place because they had
no time to test the car after finish-
ing it. But within one months time,
they managed to fix the problems
and ended up earning first place
overall at the Formula Society of
Automotive Engineers West com-
petition in Lincoln, Neb.
JT Adkins, a graduate student
from Lenexa, was one of the rac-
ers last year. Adkins got into cars
through his dad and said his best
shot to be involved with racing was
to be an engineer.
You can see a difference between
a team that tested their car a lot and
those who just finished, Adkins
said.
Jayhawk Motorsports first
competition this year will be in
Michigan against about 120 teams
from around the world. The electric
car will compete at the first ever
Formula Electric Competition in
Lincoln, Neb., this summer. The
team is also registered to compete
in Austria in August.

efore I start this column,
Id like to preface by saying
that I think Bill Self will
consistently have this offense run-
ning smoothly by the time March
Madness comes along.
That being said, in the last
month, other than the games
against Kansas State and Texas, the
offense has been teetering between
stagnant and moribund. Similar to
Jack Dawson at the end of Titanic,
there were times when it seemed
the Jayhawks offense was going
to make it onto the piece of drift-
wood, but there were also times
when they were so cold that hypo-
thermia seemed all but certain.
I have nothing but confidence
that Bill Self will find an effective
offensive game plan. It appears
that transformation has already
started. But even if the offense
doesnt continue to improve, the
Jayhawks are still a title threat.
Five years ago, when Kansas
cut down the nets in San Antonio,
16 teams averaged over 80 points
per game. This year, four teams
average more than 80, with only
one team from a power confer-
ence (Indiana). The Jayhawks were
10th in the nation with 81.5 points
per game in 2008. That would put
them in third this year.
Take a look at the games
from Tuesday night. There were
marquee games between Indiana
and Michigan State, Miami (FL)
and Virginia, and Missouri and
Florida. No team scored more
than 72 points, and the team with
72 was the high-scoring Indiana
Hoosiers. In essence, offenses
around the nation have been about
as effective as laws prohibiting
underage drinking.
Trends from the last ten years
would suggest that Kansas is not
a title threat. Statistical whiz Ken
Pomeroy, creator of kenpom.com,
finds trends that help predict
who will compete for national
championships and who will
not. Since he began tracking sta-
tistics in 2003, every champion
except two (Syracuse in 2003 and
Connecticut in 2011) has been
ranked in the top four of offensive
efficiency. Most are ranked one or
two. Kansas is currently ranked
25th. Also, every champion in
that time has averaged at least 73
points per game. Kansas sits on
the fence at 73.4.
This year could be a year that
breaks the trend. The last three
national championship games
have resulted in the following
scores: 61-59, 53-41, and 67-59.
These games are exactly the kind
of games Bill Self wants to see
with this team. If a game is in the
50s or 60s, Kansas is right where
it wants to be. In a high scoring
affair, Kansas will struggle to keep
up offensively. However, if the past
three championship games are any
indication, the Jayhawks should
feel comfortable relying on their
defense and an offense that simply
needs to be adequate.
Thats not to say that Kansas
will win the national champion-
ship. Right now, I wouldnt put my
money on it. But they certainly
are still a threat, and potential for
offensive struggles do not preclude
them from contention.
If Bill Self can keep the offense
improving, all the better.

The pregame video board says

The Glory. The Power. The
History. The Legends. The Titles.
The Tradition.
Tradition
Tradition might be what sepa-
rates Allen Fieldhouse and the
Kansas mens basketball team
from almost every other pro-
gram in the country.
There is no place like Kansas.
No one else has James Naismith.
No one else has Phog Allen. No
one else has Wilt Chamberlain,
Clyde Lovellete, Danny Manning
and now Mario Chalmers hang-
ing in their rafters, just to name
a few of the greats.
This weekend Kansas cele-
brates its 115th-year celebration
on Saturday when the Jayhawks
face off against TCU at 3 p.m. at
Allen Fieldhouse. The athletics
program will also recognize the
25th anniversary of Kansas 1988
National Championship team.
Its hard to narrow down the
games to remember, so here are
a few that have helped shape the
history of Kansas basketball:
Feb. 10, 1899: Kansas 31, To-
peka YMCA 6. Kansas records its
first victory.
Jan. 25, 1907: Kansas 54, Kan-
sas State 39. Kansas wins its first
game against Kansas State.
Feb. 4, 1908: Kansas 21, Mis-
souri 20. Kansas wins its first-
ever game against Missouri and
then defeats the Tigers three
more times that year.
March 26, 1952: Kansas 80,
Saint Johns 63. Kansas wins its
first NCAA Championship be-
hind senior center Clyde Lovel-
lette, who averages 28.6 points
per game.
March 1, 1955: Kansas 77,
Kansas State 67. The Jayhawks
win the inaugural game in Allen
Fieldhouse.
Dec. 3, 1956: Kansas 87,
Northwestern 69. In his first
varsity start, Wilt Chamberlain
scores 52 points and snares 31
rebounds on his way to averag-
ing 29.6 points per game and
helping Kansas finish as the na-
tional runner-up.
Feb. 26, 1972: Kansas 93,
Missouri 80. In his last game at
Allen Fieldhouse, senior Bud
Stallworth scores 50 points. Ted

Sometimes, like on Wednes-
day night, it only takes one shot
to win a basketball game.
Sometimes, like in the waning
moments of a heart wrenching
double-overtime debacle, the
only thing that matters is the
next shot.
Sometimes, like when Kan-
sas took down Oklahoma State
68-67 in a match that required
two extra periods, you find out
everything you need to know
about your team.
Heres what Kansas learned:
after not connecting on a field
goal for nearly ten minutes, ev-
ery shot looks good if it goes in.
And in that case, Naadir
Tharpe took the most gorgeous
shot of the season.
With the Jayhawks down by
two and twenty seconds remain-
ing, Tharpe grabbed control of
the ball at the top of key and be-
gan rolling to his left.
It wasnt the ideal scenario,
but Elijah Johnson fouled out
midway through the first over-
time and Kansas coach Bill Self
had no choice but to hand over
his offense to the sophomore
backup.
As Tharpe began rolling
towards the paint, the Cow-
boys moved in to trap him, but
Tharpe wouldnt have it. He spun
around his defenders, launching
himself immediately into the air,
contorting his body perfectly
and releasing a teardrop shot
from just inside the lane.
To that point, Kansas had
missed all six of its field goal
attempts in both overtimes, but
had made up for it by getting to
the line.
Yet even the Jayhawks free
shots were struggling to fall
as Kansas shot 17-27 from the
charity stripe.
Freshman guard Ben McLem-
ore wasnt any help either. He
started the game off with a rare
0-8 performance from the field
and finished 3-12 with seven
points his lowest total of the
season (his previous low was
9 points, which hes stalled at
twice this year.)
The only hope Kansas had to
stave off the first sweep at the
hands of the Cowboys since
1983 was Travis Releford, who
played his most beautiful game
of the year going 7-10 from the
field with 18 points and six re-
bounds.
But life wasnt any easier for
Oklahoma State. Its star point
guard, Marcus Smart, had fouled
out and it was living off its shoot-
ing guard Markel Browns (7-15,
20 points) miracle shots to keep
the Cowboys in the game.
All Kansas could hope for was
that with 20 seconds remaining,
and down by one, it could get a
good look at the basket and let
fate or talent take care of the
rest.
Yet when Tharpe released his
teardrop, it felt like both factors
were working for the Jayhawks.
The shot hung in the air long

kansas guard naadir Tharpe sends the game winning shot over oklahoma State guard phil Forte and guard lebryan nash in
the second overtime of an nCaa college basketball game in Stillwater, okla., kansas won in double overtime 68-67.
It was expected to be a battle
that could decide Big 12 Player of
the Year.
Instead, it more closely resem-
bled a game of Whack-a-Mole.
Kansas freshman Ben McLemore
and Oklahoma State freshman
Marcus Smart combined for 58
points the last time the Jayhawks
and Cowboys met, an 85-80
Oklahoma State victory in early
February.
They didnt come close to that
this time. They were quiet for the
first 30 minutes, just two bodies on
the court, briefly popping up from
time to time to hit a free throw here
or commit a turnover there.
And after a brief renaissance,
they disappeared again.
Smart finished with 16 points
and McLemore had seven, but
neither ever got into an offen-
sive rhythm Wednesday night in
Stillwater, where the Jayhawks won
68-67 in double overtime.
Both players didnt make a
field goal for the first 30 minutes.
McLemore was 0-8 from the field
in the first half, while Smart was
0-5.
Still, with 10 minutes remaining
in regulation, McLemore seemed
like he might break out of his dol-
drums.
After sophomore guard Naadir
Tharpe missed a 3-pointer,
McLemore corralled the rebound
in midair and unleashed his offen-
sive frustration with a two-handed
dunk to put Kansas up by three
points.
Three and a half minutes later,
he swished a 3-pointer from the
corner, and made a layup two min-
utes later.
But that was his whole nights
work. McLemore didnt score for
the rest of the game and shot 3-12
to give him seven points. In fact,
the whole Kansas team did very
little scoring the rest of the night,
and didnt make a single field goal
in either overtime until Tharpes
jumper with 18 seconds left in the
second overtime gave Kansas the
lead for good.
Oklahoma States Smart had an
equally tough night shooting, and
his body paid the price. Smart suf-
fered shoulder and ankle injuries in
the first half, and then had another
injury in overtime before fouling
out with 2:25 left in the second
overtime.
Smart didnt convert a field goal
until he made a 2-point jumper
with 3:21 remaining in the second
half. But then he made a 3-pointer
to tie the game at 57 points with
1:12 left in regulation. Those were
two big buckets for the Cowboys,
but they were Smarts only ones of
the game. He finished 2-14 from
the field.
But he had a bigger offensive
presence throughout the game
than McLemore, because Smart got
to the free throw line 14 times and
made 11 free throws. McLemore
didnt visit the free throw line
once.
For all of his offensive struggles,
Smart nearly made everyone forget
about them. At the end of the first
overtime Smart threw up a miracle
heave from three-quarters of the
court.
It clanked off of the front of the
rim, but if it had been another inch
or so longer, the shot of the year
would have given the Cowboys
control of the drivers seat in the
Big 12 title race. Instead, Kansas
and Kansas State are tied for first
place in the conference at 10-3,
while the Cowboys are at 9-4. But
Kansas owns the tiebreaker over
Kansas State by virtue of its two
victories against the Wildcats.

could let defensive specialist Travis Rel-

Anderson joins Green as the only two players to

in scoring with 11.2 points per game. Since being
held to eight points against the Jayhawks earlier
this month, Anderson has scored in double fgures
in four straight games. He is in the top 10 in the
Big 12 in both assists and steals.

ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
For the frst time in weeks, Johnson has shown
more aggressiveness around the rim while also
being passive when Naadir Tharpe needs to take
over the game. Johnson is not all the way back to
his original form from earlier in the season, but
hes defnitely more comfortable and continues to
to stay humble. Johnson struggled in the last game
going three of 12 with only eight points in 31 min-
utes of play against the Horned Frogs on Feb. 6.
BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
What else is there to say about McLemore? The
impressive freshman pulled off a 360 dunk to per-
fection against Texas. He wore a chicken head in
the Harlem Shake video. And now hes a contender
for Big 12 Player of the Year. The only place for im-
provement is for him to be more agressive, and if
he can learn to dribble a little better, hell be even
more lethal. At the moment, McLemore is staying
ahead of Danny Mannings pace for freshman re-
cord with his 16.7 ppg.

TCU hasnt won a conference game
since beating Kansas, which remains
its only conference win of the season. Its
a stretch to say the Horned Frogs could
replicate its feat and sweep the season
series against Kansas, especially since
the Jayhawks have won two of their last
three games by more than 20 points. The
fact that its noteworthy that the Horned
Frogs last loss to Texas, which was only
their second conference loss, by single
digits sums up the programs state.
Can the Horned Frogs pull off
the upset again?
TCU held Kansas to 13 points in the
frst half when the two schools frst met
on Feb. 6. But even then, the Horned
Frogs only won by seven points because
they really didnt play that much better
than Kansas. Logic suggests that the
Horned Frogs couldnt coerce Kansas into
playing that bad of a frst half again. But
TCU already pulled off the upset once,
and it could be even more focused to
play now that it gets an opportunity to
knock off Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas continues to play like
they did last week against Texas
and Kansas State. Te fuidity and
coolness the Jayhawks played with
in those games is the amount of
confdence needed for Kansas to
make a deep run in March. As long
as Johnson and Tarpe both take
control of this team, theres a good
chance for Kansas to be better the
next few weeks.
Kansas doubts itself. The Jayhawks
got open looks at the basket that they
routinely missed during their frst loss
to the Horned Frogs, and their offensive
struggles seemed to become more con-
tagious as the game wore on. If Kansas
starts slowly again offensively, it needs
to remember that its style of basketball
has helped it win 21 games so far this
season. With Releford and McLemore,
Kansas has the weapons to create easy
offense through transition buckets.

Kansas will be looking for some se-
rious revenge after losing to the 238th
ranked team in the country. At this point,
it appears the game in Forth Worth was
an anomoly including one of the worst
halves of basketball in Kansas history.
Still, the Jayhawks have superior talent
to the Horned Frogs and on paper it ap-
pears they should be able to handle this
team when the game is in Allen Field-
house this time.
Perry Ellis, forward
Te freshman
from Wichita
has shown fash-
es of brilliance,
but theres been
very few games
where hes got
extensive min-
utes. If Kansas
gets out to a
major lead,
look for Ellis to be inserted into the
lineup where he can show of what
hes been able to do in practice. El-
lis is a solid player who evenutally
will be a major contributor for the
Jayhawks. Look for him to possibly
play 10 or 15 minutes more than
his alloted time.
Will The Jayhawks lose
against the Horned Frogs?
No. Kansas is a top 10 in the
country that played its worst game
of the season against TCU this year.
Tey will come out and play with
intensity and emotion, and possi-
bily some revenge. Plus, this being
TCUs frst trip to the Fieldhouse in
a long time has to have some shock
value.
