Two points is two points.
But sometimes one two-point basket can seem completely different from another.
Eric Chenowith's and Kenny Gregory's dunks in Saturday night's 80-70 victory against Baylor at Allen Fieldhouse is one example.
"There is absolutely no comparison between me and Kenny," Chenowith said. "He's Michael Jordan, and I'm Bill Lambier."
OK, so maybe the dunks can't be compared, but both were big in their own wav.
Chenowith's came with 7:20 remaining in the game and with the Jayhawks only up by two. 60-58. After a missed shot, the ball bounced around and Chenowith snatched it out of the air and rushed the basket with two hands looking to slam it home. Baylor's Ben Echols stood in the way, but Chenowith rose over Echols, drew a foul and threw the ball down. But it didn't go down forcefully. The ball rattled around the rim before falling through.
"We call those med-ball dunks," forward Nick Collison said. "Because we use the medicine balls in drills, and that's usually the way the dunks look with those; so we got on him a little." The dunk — vicious or not — ienit-
ed the crowd and Chenowith pumped his fist in the air as if to say 'finally.' As he stood at the free-throw line waiting for the referees to hand him the ball, the crowd rose to its feet and cheered Chenowith's dunk also as if to say 'finally.'
"It was a great feeling when the crowd stood and cheered for me." Chenowith said. "It's just nice to know they still care."
Chenowith went on to sink the free throw that put the Jayhawks up five, 63-58 and in position to put the Bears away.
Chenowh: Enjoyed crowd's response to his dunk Saturday
That's when Kenny Gregory came in.
The Jayhawks were on defense when Gregory forced a turnover and released toward the basket. Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich picked up the loose ball and lobbed it down to Gregory in the open court. His one-handed slam put Kansas up 74-64 with 3:54 remaining. But Gregory said it was Chenowith's dunk that mattered most.
"It wasn't too clean." Gregory said.
"But it got us two points at a crucial time, so I'll give him as much credit as he wants for it."
Kansas turns eyes to Texas' Mihm
Continued from page 1B
"They have a lot of weapons," said Williams, who is 3-0 lifetime against the Longhorns. "I said at the beginning of the year that Texas might have the top two big men in the conference in Chris Mihm and Gabe Muoneke."
Controlling Texas' big men is the major concern among Kansas players. Guard Kenny Gregory said that stopping Texas' frontcourt would be the key, while center Eric Chenowith conceded that a lot of the pressure would fall on him because of the way Mihm had been playing.
"He's got a big reputation, and I had a big reputation coming into this year," he said.
Chenwih's reputation has suffered because of a well-documented down year. His offensive numbers have plummeted from 13.5 points per game and 9.1 rebounds last year to 8.9 and 6.4 this year.
Kansas notes:
Jeff Carey will miss two to three weeks of action after breaking a finger in his shooting hand during practice Friday afternoon. Carey has played in 24 games this season, averaging 1.0 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.

The Oklahoma women's basketball team never said it had anything to prove, but it played as though it did Saturday in an 88-69 victory against No. 25 Kansas.
This is the best defensive per.
During the first half, No. 24 Oklahoma slashed the usually tough Kansas defense, finding open shots in the paint on almost every possession. The Sooners' defense kept the Jayhawks from even setting up their offense. Oklahoma led 40-18 at halftime
Oklahoma sophomore guard Stacey Dales spent much of the game guarding Kansas' leading scorer, senior Lynn Pride, and held her to 10 points, only the fifth time this season she had been held to 10 or fewer points.
formance we have had in a long time." said Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale. "We played really solid in the first half. And they did a good job on the boards."
Johnson and senior guard Suzi Raymant scored 19 points each, but Dales' perimeter shooting opened up Oklahoma senior forward Phylesha Whaley and sophomore garage LaNeishea Caufield, who scored 23 and 22 points respectively.
"Lynn is a very decisive player," Dales said. "She can weave, dribble and penetrate. I just tried to keep her in front of me and keep her out of the post."
The victory marked the first time Oklahoma beat Kansas in Coale's four years as coach.

Oklahoma remains in a three-way tie for first in the conference with Texas Tech and Iowa State. Coale said she would be content to share it. "I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth," Coale said. "I'd like to have any part of that title."
