NCAA TOURNAMENT
Albuquerque regional tournament review
Kevork Diansezlan/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
hrobinett@hansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRIER
Arizona's Salim Stoudamire, guard, reaches in to foul Washington's Nate Robinson as Will Comroy looks on during the closing seconds of the championship game of Pac-10 college basketball tournament Saturday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Washington defeated Arizona, 81-72, and clinched a No. 1 seed in the Albuquerque region.
Editor's note: Kansan sportswriter Kellis Robinett will examine the four regions in the NCAA Tournament before play starts Thursday. The following is a breakdown of the Albuquerque regional. Tomorrow, Robinett will dissect the first-round games in the Austin regional.
Washington finished second in the Pac 10 standings, but won the conference tournament and claimed a top seed. UW likes to run and has four players that average more than 10 points a game. Montana got into the Big Dance by defeating Weber State in the championship game of the Big Sky Conference Tournament. The Grizzlies are extremely young and only have one senior on the roster.
No. 1 Washington (27-5) vs. No. 16 Montana (18-12)
No. 8 Pacific (26-3) vs. No. 9 Pittsburgh (20-8)
Pacific is the best mid-major team in the field, and has been ranked for the majority of the season. The Tigers own victories against three tournament teams - Utah State, Nevada and Texas-El Paso - and played Kansas tough in Allen Fieldhouse. Pittsburgh suffered from late losses and fell to a nine seed, but the Panthers can play with anyone. They won at Connecticut, crushed Boston College and swept Syracuse.
No. 5 Georgia Tech (19-11) vs. No. 12
George Washington (22-7)
By playing its best basketball late, Georgia Tech made it to the championship game of the ACC Tournament and is poised to make another run to the Final Four. George Washington is also on a roll, winning four straight games and the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The Colonials also own impressive victories against Maryland and Michigan State.
No. 4 Louisville (29-4) vs. No. 13 LA-
LAfavette (20-10)
Louisville finished the season on a nine-game winning streak and won the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. Junior forward Francisco Garcia was selected to the All-Conference USA Team, and
three other Cardinals average more than 10 points a game. Louisiana Lafayette will be ready. The Ragin' Cajuns played Louisiana State, Charlotte, Kansas, North Carolina State and Southern Illinois during the regular season.
No. 6 Texas Tech (20-10) vs. No. 11 IUCLA (18-10)
UCLA returns to the NCAA Tournament after a two year absence. The Bruins are led by senior forward Dijon Thompson, who scores more than 18 points a game. Ben Howland's team finished third in the Pac 10 standings and defeated Washington earlier in the year. But the edge has to go to Texas Tech. It's tough to pick against a coach like Bob Knight, who just last weekend told his team. "The next player to give up a rebound will be shot." Senior guard Ronald Ross and sophomore guard Jarrius Jackson both average more than 15 points a game and have the Red Raiders playing strong.
The Cinderella label is getting old for Gonzaga. For the second straight year the Zags have a top-three seed. They are led by senior forward Ronny Turriaf, who turned down the NBA to finish his college career. Turriaf, along with three other players, averages more than 12 points a game. Gonzaga will have a tough test with Winthrop, who
No. 3 Gonzaga (25-4) vs. No. 14 Winthrop (27-5)
No. 7 West Virginia (21-10) vs. No. 10
Creighton (23-10)
west Virginia only finished 8-8 in the Big East, but a run to the championship game of the Big East Tournament catapulted the Mountaineers into a seven seed. It has six players that average more than eight points a game. Creighton got into to the Big Dance after winning the Missouri Valley Tournament. The Jays finished third place in the regular season standings, but are riding an eight-game winning streak.
No. 2 Wake Forest (26-5) vs. No. 15 Chattanooga (20-10)
The Deamon Deacons looked terrible against North Carolina State last weekend But that was without sophomore guard Chris Paul, who was suspended for throwing a punch in a previous game. Paul will be playing in the NCAA Tournament and Wake Forest should have no problem taking care of Chattanooga. The Mocs finally got in the Big Dance after losing in the Southern Conference Tournament's championship game the last two years. They are led by senior forward Mindaugas Katelynas, who nearly averages a double-double with 12 points and 9.1 reboundes.

FOOTBALL

Fans will see many of the junior college transfers that will play for the Jayhawks next season such as defensive tackle Wayne Wilder. Mangino said in February's signing day press conference that there were many players that will make an immediate impact on the offensive and defensive lines.
Spring practices start, to be open to public
DIVING
The Kansas football team will hold an open practice to the public at 3:40 p.m. Wednesday the football fields next to Hogland Ballpark, coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday.
This will be the first opportunity for fans to see how the Jayhawk football team will look next season. Practice began Sunday for Kansas, and will run until April 16 when the annual spring game will take place at 3 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
Freshman ends season on high note at Zone D
This past weekend, freshman diver Jenny Roberts wrapped up
the 2004-2005 diving season with a strong finish.
Roberts was the only member of the Kansas diving team to compete in the NCAA Zone D regional diving meet.
Coming off a back injury during her senior year of high school, last Saturday was Roberts' first attempt at Championship diving. She completed six dives in the one-meter diving competition and finished 17th.
Coach Erie Elliot said that there were a couple of dives on which Roberts "missed a bit."

Roberts said that she most wanted to come out of the meet with experience, and Elliot believes that is exactly what she has now.
Roberts was in ninth place after completing the first three dives but slipped down to 17th after poor performances on the next two dives.
Elliot said that Roberts' goal was to place, which she did.
"Eighteen is the cut," Elliot said,
"and she made the cut."
Although diving is over until next fall, Roberts has finished with experience that should set her up to be a leader on the team next season.
