Williams and the Jayhawk men will try to rebound in tonight's game after Saturday's loss to Texas Tech. Photo by Augustus Anthony Piazza/KANSAN --and that he had lost some of his mechanics at the plate. By Sunday's final game, he said that he had begun to feel more comfortable in the batter's box and that he had gotten toether his old rhythm. "We didn't execute, and we didn't make easy shots, and yet we still had a chance." Asbury said. "There are a number of individual things that we need to break down. We need to take care of the basketball and make good decisions. We need to rebound." Postseason spot possibly on line Continued from page 1B Although the Wildcats have the best rebounding margin in the Big 12, they were unable to prove it against Kansas — losing the battle of the boards 43-41. Bradford said if the Jayhawks hoped to turn the season around, they had better start tonight. "K-State is a big game, for the rivalry and for our season," Bradford said. "We've had our ups and downs, but right now we can change all that. If we can give five, six seven games going into the tournament, that will give us great confidence. When we get into the tournament, we can beat anyone." KANSAS JAYHAWKS 8-4 Big 12, 16-8 overall The Starting Lineup G RYAN RobertSON 6-5 Sr. G JEFF BOSCHER 6-1 Fr. F NICK BRADFORD 6-6 Jr. F T.J.

This year, he is leading the Kansas baseball team in home runs. Although the team, 2-1, has played only three games and Van Alsburg, Fort Collins, Colo., freshman, is leading the team with one home run, he said he was overwhelmed by the situation. "I guarantee I wouldn't have thought that I would hit a home run," Van Alsburg said. "I really had no idea it was gone until I hit first base, and then it was like, 'wow.'" "I had no idea," he said. "Coach told us on the bus ride down there, and from that point on, I realized it was time to step up." Thrust into the starting lineup because of an injury to junior outfielder Brett Kappelmann, Van Alsburg said he didn't know he would play until the night before the Texas-Arlington series last weekend. Van Alsburg said his nerves had calmed down by the time he stepped into the box during the sixth inning. "When I step up to the plate, the instincts kick in, and I forget that I'm a freshman, and I forget there are people watching." he said. As he stared out to the mound, he blocked out distracting elements and settled into his comfort zone. The first pitch was a curve ball that crossed the plate for a strike. "That was a big, really big, home run that turned the game around," Coach Bobby Randall said. The next pitch that flung from the pitcher's hand was a fastball, down and away. Sure enough, Van Alsburg swung — ripping it out of the ballpark for a two-run home run that opened the game. “Taking the first pitch allowed me to get a feel for the timing and rhythm,” he said. “Since he threw a curve ball first, I started thinking he might come back with a fastball on the next one.” In a matter of seconds, Van Alsburg had given his team a comfortable lead, hit his first collegiate home run and began his term in the college baseball scene. “It’s kind of fun to joke around with,” Van Alsburg said. "I have no idea if I'll ever hit another one." For now, Van Alsburg said he would continue to approach every at bat comfortably and ready to attack. This weekend, Van Alsburg and the rest of the Kansas baseball team will travel to Phoenix to play in the Rawlings Spring Training Tournament. Depending on the team's health, Randall said Van Alsburg might continue to start. He said he expected the freshman to continue to contribute.
