Close swims defined the weekend in Ames, Iowa, where the Jayhawks and Cyclones dueled it out in the water. Even though Kansas had a one-point lead after Friday's races, they couldn't hold on, as they fell 161.5-138.5 in the last regular-season meet before the Big 12 Championship.
Friday's events were led by senior Morgan Sharp. She fought her way to a win in the 200-meter freestyle (1:51.24). Sharp narrowly beat her Iowa State opponent by sixhundredths of a second. She also was a part of the 200-yard medley relay team that won (1:45.83).
"She led the team today," said coach Clark Campbell. "She out-touched for the win by six-hundredths of a second. Dual meets are weighted by winning events and by outtouching competitors. We are in a better position going into [Saturday]. It was easy to see that she was not going to be denied getting to the wall first. I saw fire in her the last 25 yards of both races."
Two other swimmers that helped the Jayhawks on the first day of competition were sophomore Chelsie Miller, who placed first in the 200-yard butterfly (2:04.68) and sophomore Bryce Hinde, who tied for first in the 10-yard breaststroke (1:04.95).
"We swam well, but not well enough to win. They were the stronger team today."
CLARK CAMPBELL Coach
"The Iowa State swimmer that Bryce tied with has already qualified for the NCAA Championships," Campbell said. "It was a good race for her since she has been struggling since coming back from Christmas. It was a good race for her to take into the Big 12 Championships."
On the second day of competition, Kansas put up winning performances by freshman Pia Pavlic and Miller. Pavlic won the

100-yard butterfly by onehundredth of a second (57.77). Miller took home the gold in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:06.44.
"That was Alison's fastest in-season time outside of the winter national meet," Campbell said. "It was one of her best dual-meet swims all year."
Sharp also put up points on Saturday, finishing second in the 100-vard freestyle (52.55).
The team fared well in diving with senior Alyssa Golden and sophomore Meredith Brownell placing second (271.35) and third (260.48) respectively.
"We swam well, but not well enough to win," Campbell said. "They were the stronger team today."
Up next for the Jayhawks is the Big 12 Championship in Austin, Texas. Kansas has three weeks of preparation before they dive in Feb. 26 to March 1.

C. J. Fair rebounded from his worst game of the season with 19 points, Jerami Grant added 12 in an expanded role down low, and No. 1 Syracuse beat Clemson 57-44 on Sunday night to remain unbeaten.
SYRACUSE, N.Y.
Another challenge. Another challenge met.
Syracuse shot 44.4 percent (24 of 54) and held the best defensive team in the nation to 14-of-41 shooting (34.1 percent). The Orange also committed just five turnovers and dominated the paint, 32-14.

Syracuse led by nine at the break and extended the lead to 39-27 on Fair's nice scoop off the glass with 15:40 left.

Trevor Cooney finished with 11 points for the Orange and Ennis had six points, five assists and one turnover.
Syracuse tops Clemson 57-44 for 23rd in row
Jordan Roper started the surge with a 3 from the right wing. McDaniels followed with a free throw and a dunk, and Josh Smith's hook in the lane pulled Clemson to 42-37 with 10:41 to play.
No matter what or who they've faced this season, the Orange have found a way to win.
"It was frustrating," Jaror Blossomgame said. "There were some good things, but from a team standpoint, we're all competitors. We want to win. We feel like every game we go into we can win."
It was the 10th time Clemson (15-7, 6-4) had faced the No. 1 team in the nation, and the Tigers have yet to win. The last time Clemson played a No. 1 team was against North Carolina, an 86-81 loss in the 2008 ACC tournament, and the Tigers' last true road game against the nation's No. 1 team was Feb. 8, 2004, an 81-55 loss at Duke.
"It's fine. Whatever my team needs," Grant said. "I think that's what makes us a great team. I need to get used to it. I've just got to know where all the rebounds are, know where other people are."

MEN'S BASKETBALL
fair, who was 2 for 13 for a season-low six points against Notre Dame on Monday, responded with an 8-for-13 shooting night in playing K.J. McDaniels of Clemson to a virtual standstill. McDaniels also scored 19 and had a game-high 10 rebounds, three more than Fair, and both played 39 minutes.
"It's all about going to the next game. You don't want to dwell on a good or bad game. We had good rhythm coming into this game," Fair said. "I just needed to be aggressive and not really force things. Coach is always stressing that. That's what I was trying to do, play off my teammates.
"Without wearing myself out, I wanted to wear him (McDaniels) out," Fair said. "When the best player on the opposite team is guarding you, you want to make their job hard. I just wanted to keep him busy."
keep him busy Syracuse (23-0, 10-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended its school record for wins to start a season and matched the program mark for consecutive wins.
This victory came with the 6-foot-8 Grant playing substantial time in the second half at center with starter Rakeem Christmas on the bench with four fouls and Baye Moussa Keita next to him with a sprained right knee. A month ago, before hulking sophomore center Dajuan Coleman was lost for the season to a knee injury, Syracuse had 15 fouls to give at the position.
established in the 1916-17 and 1917-18 seasons. It was the third meeting between the teams and first in Syracuse, and the Orange's first victory.
"You really don't want to be behind in a slow game," Boeheim said. "There aren't going to be a lot of points scored."
Syracuse has faced a slow pace for most of the season and when the Orange went ahead 48-37 on Tyler Ennis' lefty layup with 6:56 to play, coach Jim Boeheim could breathe a sigh of relief.
"They have very good pieces that fit together," Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. "Everybody has a role. They embrace their role. They're very unselfish. There doesn't look to be any jealousy."
