'Hawks survive K-State scare
Williams' words inspire Kansas
By Christoph Fuhrmans
Kansas sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN — Kansas State had just cut Kansas' lead to 59-58. K-State junior guard Elliot Hatcher had scored a layup that brought Wildcat fans in Bramlage Coliseum to their feet.
Kansas coach Roy Williams quickly called a time out and said something to his team that inspired the Jayhawks to a 7-0 run.
"It wasn'ttome big speech or something," Kansas sophomore guard Jacque Vaughn said. "He told us to just play harder."

The simple advice from Williams helped the No. 3 Jawhask ks held the Wildcats to one field goal during the next six minutes and sealed Kansas' 78-67 victory.
"We talked about how we've got to start playing defense and everybody being responsible and doing their job," Williams said. "You've got to take some responsibility out there and guard your man and also have confidence that your teammates will be there to give you help."
Williams said that he knew K-State would be pumped up for the game, not just because of in-state rivalry, but also because of Kansas' winning streak in Manhattan.
The Jayhawks improved to 20-3 overall for the fourth consecutive season and 9-2 in the Big Eight Conference. K-State fell to 11-12 and 2-9. Kansas took a one-game lead in the conference over Oklahoma State and a 1/2 game lead over Missouri
Kansas won its 12th consecutive game in Manhattan and improved its record to 7-0 in Bramlage.
"They were enthused, and they hadn't played since last Saturday," he said. "They had a lot of motivation, just like I said Tuesday night up in Lincoln. And I think today, probably, they got tired of hearing about the streak."
But the Wildcats reverted back to their original form. After the lead-closing run, K-State once again fell apart during the final minutes of the game. The Wildcats have done this several times this season, including twice against the Jayhawks.
The Wildcats were behind by only two points with three minutes left against the Jayhawks on Jan. 18 but made several critical turnovers that helped Kansas win 78-42.
Against the Jayhawks on Saturday, K-State closed the lead to 59-58 after a 21-20 run with 8:51 left in the game. But after Williams' timeout, Kansas' 19-9 run squashed any hope of a K-State comeback.
"I liked what our team did at that time because the crowd was really into it, and our guys played with a lot of poise," Williams said. "If the crowd gets rockin' you've got to concentrate and do what you're supposed to do and not get caught up in the frenzy."
Williams has passed on his poise philosophy to the Jayhawks, which was evident during the last eight minutes of the game.
"Rather than hit the panic button, we analyzed it and went back and played better," said Kansas sophomore guard Jerod Haase, who scored a game-high 21 points.
Twelve of Haase's points came from three-pointers, but he was open from outside because of the Jayhawks' inside play. Kansas senior center Greg Ostertag and freshman forward Raef LaFrentz scored the first eight points of the game, which set the tone for the rest of the contest.
Oostert, LaFrentz and sophomore forward Scott Pololl scored 12 of Kansas' first 15 points in the second half.
Ostertag had 14 points and 11 rebounds and LaFrentz had 14 points and nine rebounds. Pollard had six points and five rebounds but played sparingly because of early foul trouble.

Kansas State was down by only five points but went into the locker room trailing 42-34 after Haase's shot. Haase scored a game-high 21 points against the Wildcats in his first visit to Bramage Coliseum.

"I enjoyed it," he said. "The Big Eight has been a thrill for me."
Haase led Kansas in scoring for the eighth time this season on Saturday and reached double figures in scoring for the 20th time.
"I try to maintain my consistency by playing hard," he said. "If I'm playing hard and making good decisions, I can
live with that."
Haase's teammates aren't nearly as modest when describing his success at Bramlage Coliseum.
"He made some clutch shots," Vaughn said. "He's a big-time player."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said that although Haase played well on Saturday, he still had five turnovers.
But Whitman has gotten used to that.
"I think with Jerod you have to live with some of those crazy turnovers," he said. "But at the same time, you're going to get a kid who gives you everything he can possibly give."
Kansas women play tough in Oklahoma
Despite a season-high
season-high 25 points from Kansas sophomore guard Angie Halbleib, the Sooners handed the Jayhawks their worst defeat of the season.

"our kids get beat up pretty bad, and I'm really frustrated with that," Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington said.
And in Kansas' 20-point loss to the Sooners, its biggest defeat of the season, a Sooner defender injured Kansas junior guard Charisse Sampson with her elbow.
The No. 20 Jayhawks split their two Big Eight Conference games this weekend. They defeated Oklahoma State, 63-61 but lost their second game of the season to the Oklahoma Sooners, 103-83.
NORMAN, Okla. - Don't call the Kansas women's basketball team the "crimson and blue." Black and blue is more appropriate.
Sampson's top left front tooth was pushed back, and Kansas assistant athletics trainer Carol Jarosky said she would not know if the tooth could be saved until it was further evaluated.
Washington appeared to be concerned about the physical nature of play in Sunday's loss, which dropped the Jayhawks' record to 17-8 overall and 7-5 in the Big
Eight.
Halbleib scored a season-high 25 points and led the Jayhawks' scoring against the Sooners. She hit seven of 13 shots from behind the three-point line and all four of her shots from the free-throw line.
"I have no problem with physical play as long as we can also be physical." Washington said. "It's difficult for young athletes to know what they can or what they can't do."
One athlete who knew what to do was Kansas sophomore guard Angie Halbleib.
Washington said it was good to see Halbleib shooting the ball well.

"I thought they played very well," Washington said of Oklahoma. "We got within nine points and couldn't get any closer."
Colorado, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas are four very tough Big Eight teams, Washington said.
The Jayhawks were able to fend off Oklahoma State, though, on Friday night. Kansas missed several free throws in the final minutes of play that could have sealed the victory. A last-second miss by the Cowboys ended the game with a 63-61 Jayhawk victory.
"It's always been a great league," she said. "We've never really gotten the respect that we deserve.
"People have to give us more credit."
