THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A
Baseball team to take on Texas
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
When the Kansas baseball team travels to Austin, Texas to play No.11 Texas this weekend in a three-game set, it expects to see more than just the team rooting against them. This season, Texas baseball has drawn more than 3,500 fans a game, one of the best in the Big 12.
"You know you're on the road," coach Bobby Randall said with a chuckle. "They really make it clear."
Like the other three Texas schools in the Big 12 Conference, the Longhorns fans are festive, and at the same time, mean. Randall said the Baylor fans were constantly heckling the Jayhawks, and the Longhorn fans may be even worse.
"They get copies of the media guide," Randall said, "and find out every little thing about us."
To go with the 12-row crowd,
the Jayhawks (12-1 overall, 1-8
Big 12 Conference play) will have to face a tough Longhorn squad. They come in with a 26-8 overall record, and a 5-4 mark in the Big 12.
"I think the key is getting off to a good start right away," senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien said. "Winning that first game, and getting that positive attitude we had during the first 10 games."
The Jayhawks have lost five straight to Texas, their last win coming on March 10,2000. Since the Big 12 was formed in 1996, Texas has won 14 of 18 meetings between the schools.
"There's probably not anybody we'd rather beat then them." Randall said.
Kansas will go to its three seniors, Dan Olson, Jeff Davis and Jake Wright, to start on the mound for the series. Combined, the three are 8-5 with a 4.10 ERA. They have started 20 of the team's 25 games.
"I feel good with Jeff, Jake and Dan," Randall said. "I think we're

going to have to pitch better out of the bullpen."
After beating Texas A&M on March 8, Kansas has lost eight straight conference games. The road won't get any easier, either. The next 12 games includes matchups with Texas Tech, Missouri. No. 12 Nebraska and two non-conference games against No. 8 Wichita State.
"We're coming up on the last half of the season," Randall said. "We need to step up and finish strong."

Women's golf ready for Indiana tournament
It has been nearly a month since members of the Kansas women's golf team competed in a tournament, but they hope the momentum they took into spring break will carry over to this weekend's Indiana Invitational in Bloomington, Ind.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
"Spring break was very productive and we played great golf," coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "Any time you can come in the top 10 in college golf, that's a great thing."
In the team's last competition, it placed seventh in the Waterwood National Invitational March 11-12 in Huntsville, Texas
Junior Heather Rose finished first overall in individual competition.

stanford's leading scorer may go pro
STANFORD, Calif. — Casey Jacobsen, Stanford's leading scorer in each of his three seasons, will enter the NBA draft.
Jacobsen, who led the Pac-10 in scoring last season with a 21.9 average, won't hire an agent to leave open the possibility of returning for his senior season, the school said Wednesday.
Jacobsen is third on the school's career scoring list with
Last season, he led the Cardinal to a 20-10 record and the second round of the NCAA tournament.
1. 723 points.
When Jacobsen was a sophomore in 2000-01, Stanford won its third straight Pac-10 title and made the regional finals of the NCAA tournament.
Stanford junior center Curtis Borchardt also is likely to enter the draft.
Last year, Jason Collins became the first player in Stanford history to leave school early. Collins had spent four years at Stanford, but injuries left him with two years of eligibility.
