Kansas softball begins tournament today
The Kansas softball team will take on Iowa today in the first round of pool play in the Airtouch Cellular Capital Classic in Sacramento, Calif.
Pitching again will be a key for the Jayhawks this weekend. Sophomore Jessi Kowal has pitched well this season, but she struggled with control against Arkansas
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas Coach Tracy Bunge said the Jayhawks were looking to build off their 6-1 victory against Arkansas in the second game of Tuesday's home opener.
"I think a lot of people felt good about the way they were swinging the bat against Arkansas." Bunge said.
Kansas will face the other two teams in its pool, Southwest Missouri State and Rutgers, tomorrow. The top two teams from each pool will advance to the championship bracket to compete in a double elimination tournament Saturday and Sunday. The bottom two teams will compete in a consolation tournament.
"Jessi needs to start getting ahead of hitters early in the count," Bunge said. "She didn't do that very well against Arkansas."
Bunge said the Jayhawks' goal was to finish in the top half of their pool.
"We have high expectations for this tournament. We want to be in the championship bracket."
"We have high expectations for this tournament," she said. "We want to be in the championship bracket."
Kansas' other pitcher, junior Sarah Workman, had one of her best outings of the season against the Lady Razorbacks, giving up just one run on four hits and striking out 10.
"I think Sarah Workman feels a lot better about herself after the game on Tuesday," Bunge said. "I feel confident both our pitchers can lead us to a good season and a good year i-
Sophomore second baseman Lezli Leathers said she expected Kansas' success against Arkansas to spill into this tournament.
According to Bunge, Kansas' performance against Iowa should give an indication of what to expect in the rest of the tournament.
"There are a lot of good teams in the tournament, so there will be a lot of tough competition." Leathers said. "But we played well yesterday (Tuesday). I think this tournament could be a turning point in our season. I think we will do very well."

the Big 12 conference.
Offensive scoring also is a concern. The Jayhawks have had trouble scoring runs in close games.
"I think we have to do a better job getting runners in scoring position and then knocking them in," Bunge said. "That's been a problem for us so

Leathers said the Jayhawks needed to work on taking opposing pitchers out of their rhythm early in games.
far."
"We need to start jumping on pitchers in the first and second inning," she said.
The Jayhawks will begin conference play against Oklahoma State March 27 in Stillwater. The Big 12 was rated the nation's second strongest conference last season and Bunge said the Big 12 is just as good this year.
"I don't think teams are ever ready for that type of competition." Bunge said, "But. I think our players are ready to find out what it's like. It will be a dog fight for the conference championship this year."

Gonzaga gets jiggy wit it
Bulldogs advance to Sweet 16 round inspire fan support
The Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — With no apologies to rapper Will Smith, Gonzaga's basketball team bopped to "Gettin' Zaggy Wit It" with hundreds of students at a pep rally.
After the rally Tuesday night, the Bulldogs got on a charter flight to Phoenix and Thursday's NCAA West Regional game against Florida.
Hundreds of students at the small private college turned
"This has been a great ride, but we are still on the roller coaster," coach Dan Monson said of his team, which reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history.
A local radio station put the music to new lyrics, interspersed with radio play-by-play accounts of Bulldogs successes.
Bulldogs boosters gave Smith's "Gettin" Jiggy Wit It the same treatment Gonzaga gave to Minnesota and Stanford, the teams the Spokane school beat in the first two rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament.
out to see their team off at The Kennel, Gonzaga's home court.
"We're four games away from a national title." Monson told the crowd. "To me that would be a great season right there."
"How about the Sweet 16, baby?" guard Quentin Hall, who has played spectacularly in the two games, asked the crowd.
"If everything goes as planned, this will not be our last weekend playing," said Mike Leasure of Spanaway, the only player who was also on Gonzaga's NCAA qualifying team in 1995, the school's only other appearance in the tournament.
With airfares high and seating limited, many Gonzaga students were planning to drive the 1,300 miles to Phoenix for the game. Monson warned them to drive carefully.
This year's Gonzaga队 (27-6) has already won the most games in school history. This will be its first game against Florida (22-8).
"Nothing would tarnish it worse than an accident on the road," he said.
Bulldogs fever is running high on the campus of the Jesuit-run college founded in 1887. Hats and T-shirts are flying out of the campus
bookstore as fast as they can be stocked.
This is not the 4,500-student school's first brush with NCAA success. In 1950, Gonzaga shared the NCAA boxing championship with Idaho.
But the Bulldogs have received little respect during the years. They were passed over for an NCAA tournament last year despite a 24-10 record.
One thing is certain. This year's team is focusing plenty of attention on the school's unusual name.
The university is named for St. Aloysius Gonzaga, a 16th Century Jesuit priest remembered these days as the Patron Saint of Youth.
St. Alosius Gonzaga (168-159) gave his life caring for victims of the plague in Rome, according to The Catholic Encyclopedia.
Fans and team members have had a lot of fun listening to the national media mispronounce the school's name. For the record, it is pronounced "Gone-zag'-uh." not "Gone-zaw'-guh."
Although the team's official nickname is the Bulldogs, Gonzaga sports clubs are just as often called the Zags.
Signs handed out at the rally said "Go Zags!"
'Wally World' crucial against Kentucky team
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Miami of Ohio has "Wally World" — high-scoring forward Wally Szczerbiak — and teammates skilled at giving him a chance to score.
By contrast, in the world of Kentucky basketball there is no single player around whom the rest of the team revolves.
Nowhere has Kentucky coach Tubby Smith's team-oriented approach been more evident than in the substitution pattern he used later in the season.
That's why Friday's NCAA tournament game in St. Louis between the third-seeded Wildcats (27-8) and the 10th-seeded RedHawks (24-7) presents a true contrast in styles.
That's a good time for the team to try and press opposing teams, who usually don't have the same depth as Kentucky, Smith said Tuesday.
Four or five minutes into each game, starters Wayne Turner, Scott Padgett, Heshimu Evans, Desmond Allison and Michael Bradley sit down. Taking their places are fresh second unit members Jamal Magloire, Jules Camara, Tayshaun Prince, Saul Smith and Ryan Hogan.
"We're hoping we can fatigue them a bit and then bring the first unit back in,"Smith said.
"We try to wear people down with our bench strength."
The tactic has served Kentucky well in postseason play.
In both the SEC championship game against Arkansas and in the Wildcats' second-round NCAA win against Kansas Sun-
uay, the second unit came off the bench to rally Kentucky from early deficits.
Just two weeks ago, the Wildcats were coming off a 3-4 February, and a fourth straight Final Four trip seemed improbable. Now, Kentucky is 5-0 in March and two wins away from a Final Four trip to St. Petersburg, Fla.
Magoire said Kentucky's team effort will make it impossible for Sczerbiak to singlehandedly beat the Wildcats, as Sczerbiak did in scoring 43 points in a first-round win against Washington.
"No one individual can beat a team." Magloire said. "Granted, he's a good player. But no one player can beat us. No one player can beat a team."
Smith said he did not plan any major changes to his basic containment defense for the third-round game against Miami, which is coming off an unset win against second-seeded Utah.
"We haven't used any gimmick defenses all year long," Smith said. "We're going to try to do something out of our regular man-to-man defense to try to limit his (Szzerbiek's) touches."
With Szczerbiak equally skilled at posting and stepping outside for the perimeter jump shot. Smith said there is no glaring weakness for the Wildcats to attack. Smith说他 likely will try several different players on Szczerbiak, including senior forwards Padgett and Evans.
"I don't think there's any one thing you can do to shut him down," Smith said. "We'll just try to deny him the ball as much as possible."
Smith and Padgett said there's more to Miami than Szczerbian. Point guard Rob Mestas is a calm floor leader and skilled at distributing the ball, Smith said. Guard Damon Frierson is averaging 13.1 points, and the entire team is skilled at getting Szczerbian open for shots.
"I think more than anything, they feed off of when other teams go to double Wally," Padgett said. "They have a team. It's not just Wally."
Like Szczerbiak, the 6-foot-9 Padgett possesses inside-outside versatility, as he showed down the stretch in the Kansas game. Padgett hit a 3-pointer that sent the game to overtime, nailed another long jumper that opened the overtime and went inside to get to the foul line and make five free throws in the extra session as Kentucky won 92-88.
Padgett said he has tried to focus on his post play in recent games.
"The more I post up, the more opportunities I get to get to the free-throw line," he said.
