Size advantage key to 'Hawk offense
Continued from page 1B
in scoring (13.5) and rebounding (9.2).
"We do have a size advantage when Eric is in the game," Williams said. "When he is not in the game, we are only 6-7, 6-8 ourselves. For it to be an advantage for our team, he is going to have to make his shots."
Williams said that Chenowith should be effective offensively, despite Evansville's attempt to shut him down.
"My guess is that they are going to be physical with him, try to body up to him and try to push him off the block," Williams said. "He has to do a good job of trying to get the best position and hold that position. I think he can be an advantage to us, and we hope to be able to go to him."
Although Kansas and Evansville will meet for the first time since the Jayhawks 59-54 victory Jan. 8, 1983, Williams already is familiar with his opponent. He said that he has known Crews since 1992, when he watched the Purple Aces play in Dayton. (He is the first round of the NCAA Tournament.)
(Onto) in the front of the Neighborhood.
"I know Jimmy and have always liked and enjoyed him," Williams said. "I have a great deal of respect for what he does."
Crews, who played on Indiana's undefeated 1976 NCAA championship team, was quick to praise the Javhawks as well.
"When I think of Kansas, I think of one of the top
four or five programs in the history of college basketball, "Crews said. "They have a great team this year that started to play very well again toward the end of the season."
Crews isn't the only one who thinks the Jayhawks are finally hitting on all cylinders after an up and down season.
"Ireally feel like we're playing our best basketball right now," Kansas senior Ryan Robertson said. "I'm not sure we know how good we can be, but if
we play extremely well and extremely hard, there's no telling how far we can go."
And as a senior who knows every game may be his last, Robertson is hoping to play as long as possible."
"The clock is ticking," Robertson said. "I know the next time we lose will be the last college game I play. I've had a great career and had a fun time playing here, but I'd like to postpone that as long as possible."

Three Jayhawks to dive for title chance

To the side, judges watch. Judges score. Judges decide who will have a shot at the national title.
And only eight will be selected from each event.
Today, the Kansas diving team will take to the boards in Fayetteville, Ark., for the annual Zone Diving Championships. And senior Deanna Beiswanger, junior Kerri Pribel and freshman Adam Hanhart are accustomed to the pressure.
"By the time the kids get to this level, they're used to it," diving
coach Kevin Lawrence said.
The Zone Championships in Fayetteville, one of the five zone meets that begin today across the country, give divers the chance to qualify for the NCAA National Championships, which begin next weekend for the women.
Since late August, the team has been training to qualify for the Zone meet, and the three divers anticipate a tough time.
"I'm excited." Pribyl said with hesitation. "But it's such a hard meet. You don't know quite what's going to happen."
The meet features some of the best divers in the country, and Pribyl said that she knew she would have to nail every dive if she wanted to place in the top eight.
"If you miss one dive, you're basically out of the running," Pribyl said.
"It's really kind of hard to quality. Beiswanger said." The competition is there; you've got to be your very best."
Lawrence said that the team had been training hard for the Zone Championships all season long and that he thought the three divers were both mentally and physically prepared for peak performance. All
"Zones and conference are two of the biggest meets of the year. It feels good to qualify," Hanhart said. "It's a shame that no other guys did. They did a great job."
Hanhart, who will make his zone debut this weekend, said he was looking forward to the meet but that he was disappointed that no other Jayhawk men qualified.
However, Beiswanger, who has been to the zone meet once before, recognizes how difficult it is to qualify for the meet.
they have to do, he said, is maintain a steady focus.
"The best kids in the country if not the world will be there, and it's going to be really competitive," Lawrence said. "But if the kids keep their heads on their shoulders, they should be all right."
Beiswanger and Pribyl will per form 12 dives on the one-meter board and 11 dives on three-meter. Hanhart will perform 11 dives on both the one-meter and three-meter boards. The Kansas team will not enter the platform competition because is has not had sufficient access to a platform for training.
The women's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships are March 18-20 in Athens, Ga., and the men's championships are March 25-27 in Indianapolis.
