Cowboys next in line for 'Hawks in tourney
Continued from page 1B
The fifth-seeded Jayhawks poured things on the 12th-seeded Wildcats from the beginning of the game, up 14-7 by the first television timeout. They were up 23-10 by the second television timeout. And by the time the Wildcats used their first team timeout of the game with 7:24 left in the first half, Kansas was up by 19, and the Wildcats knew they were in trouble.
Kansas kept the heat on in the second half, as the Jayhawks won their 19th consecutive victory against K-State.
"There was never really any doubt," said Kansas forward Nick Collison of the win.
To put things in perspective, by the 13:45 mark of the second half, the boatade of Jayhawk fans in attendance already were calling for little-used Kansas walk-on Terry Nooner to be inserted into the game.
"We got off to such a great start early," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We came out and got the ball inside and made some baskets. We made a couple of steals, and we got our break going. Then, all of a sudden, Bosche started getting open and made every shot that he could. That was basically the basketball game there."
Kansas now is focusing on its next basketball game
a second-round match-up against the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 2:20 p.m. today. The last time the Jayhawks and the Cowboys squared off, Kansas was rocked and dropped by 33 points in Stillwater, Okla.
"The first time we weren't ready to play, and they kicked us in every aspect of the game." Roschee said.
Simple enough. But how can Kansas avoid getting kicked around this time against an Oklahoma State team seeded fourth in the tournament and 23-5 overall?
"We just have to come and play hard-nosed basketball for 40 minutes," Kansas guard Marlon London said. "Then we'll see what happens."
