Johnson led the team with 12 rebounds and scored eight points. Photo by Jay Sheeperd/KANSAN "Their pressure was smothering, and I don't think we adjusted enough to it," Helm said. "We got frustrated with it, and we never really overcame it." As with any Kansas-Missouri matchup, history played a major role. Missouri forward Kesha Bonds said she was disappointed with her team's understanding of the game's importance and its preparation. Continued from page 1B "We need to get everyone focused on the fact that this is our biggest rivalry in the conference." Bonds said. Bonds was one of Missouri's few bright spots. She led the Tigers with a 14-point, seven rebound performance. Washington, in her 26th season as the Jayhawks' coach, said her teams always would be aware of the rivalry. "Sometimes you lose the history because you're either new, or you're not aware." Washington said. "These players have always respected Missouri, and they know what we're going to be in for when we come here. We talk about what has happened in the past, so this is a big game for us. It took a lot of pride to be able to null this one off." Actually, it took less Pride than usual. Pride scored 14 points, four fewer than her average, but used her multi-faceted game to produce in other ways. She grabbed nine rebounds and had six steals, performing most of her defensive duties against the shorter Helm. Kansas forward Jaclyn Johnson had a game-high 12 rebounds, and scored all eight of her points in the final six minutes to help secure the win. The victory was the 498th of Washington's career. She will have a chance to reach her milestone 500th victory at home, when Kansas plays its next three games at Allen Fieldhouse. Washington said she was more concerned with getting her team in a good position for the NCAA tournament than with the win plateau, but was glad her players were excited about the accomplishment. "I'm really happy that incentive is there for them to help me get to 500," she said. "I'm excited about getting 20 wins for them. Maybe we'll take care of each other in that respect."

His With 41 seconds left, Riley was fouled by Zydrunas Ilgauskas under the basket after taking a pass from Pierce. Riley missed both shots, but Pierce, blocked from the basket by Kemp, tipped the ball in, putting Boston on top 74-73. After Kemp missed a layup with 29 seconds remaining.

Kansan Stuff Photos LaFrentz, who was picked third by the Denver Nuggets in last year's NBA draft, scored 11 points and had seven rebounds before fouling out in the Nuggets' 110-92 loss to the Minnesota shots and Walker finished the scoring with a free throw with 12 seconds to go. Timberwolves Friday. LaFrentz did not lose a home game while at Kansas Timberwolves forward Joe Smith was scorer with 23 points. LaFrentz, who started at center and played 25 minutes, hit four of seven shots including one of two from three-point range. Things don't get much easier for LaFrentz in the coming days. After Sunday night's game against the Phoenix Suns, LaFrentz will face Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon Monday night and the Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal Wednesday. In college, there are nights that aren't going to be as tough as others." LaFrentz said. "Every night is tough in this league."
