6A= THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- MONDAY,MARCH 25,2002 MEN'S BASKETBALL LAURIE SISK/KANSAN Junior forward Drew Gooden cuts down a piece of the net after the Hawks' victory over Oregon yesterday. The victory marks the first time Kansas has advanced to the Final Four since 1993. JAYHAWKS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A The Final Four garb featuring Kansas won't be dumped or given to Goodwill like Pac-10 Conference Champion Oregon's will be. The Jayhawks cut down the nets for the second time this season and more than an hour after the game, senior guard Jeff Boschee still had his net draped around his neck. other singing the alma mater. "I don't know when I'll take this thing off," the Big 12's all-time leading three-point shooter said with a grin as big as a cantaloupe slice. Bosche said he got nervous in anticipation of the contest with Oregon (26-9) when he watched the West and South region finals Saturday. "I had butterflies watching the Oklahoma and Indiana games Saturday," Boschee said. "I started thinking that we were one step away from getting to the Final Four. It was really happening." Boschew wasn't the only one a bit on edge before the game. Senior forward Jeff Carey said he noticed that Kansas' locker room was a little calmer than usual. "We're always pretty confident in the locker room before games," he said. "But you could tell some of the guys were nervous. It was the biggest game we've ever been in. Even some of the guys who normally aren't quiet were a little bit." As toned down as the Jay hawks might have been in the locker room, it didn't show on the court. Kansas ran up and down the court with reckless abandon. Sure, the Jayhawks made some silly mistakes and turned the ball over more than they like, but when the game clock expired, there was no trace of the team that was soft-spoken two hours earlier. Dressed in fresh-out-of-thebox Final Four garb, the Jayhawks jumped up and down in front of their bench and hugged one another as the Kansas band played the fight song. Smiles and laughs were the norm, as were feelings of joy, excitement and some that can't even be expressed. "I can't describe this feeling to someone unless they've felt it," senior guard Brett Ballard said. Kansas will play the East Region's No. 1-seed Maryland Saturday in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, but the Jayhawks aren't thinking about that right now. Yesterday was a day to party. "I'm just happy." Gooden said. "We are at the 'Four.' If you guys stopped asking me questions I could get into that locker room and have a belated celebration with my team." Contact Doug Pacey at dpacey@kansan.com.

Chris Sobba, a recent KU law school graduate, arrived at the fieldhouse with a basketball net around his neck. He said he and about 15 friends cut the net from the rim of a Missouri fan's hoop across the street from his home in Kansas City. "We kind of had a ceremony," he said. "I asked her permission before we did it. I carried a ladder across the street and let her take the first cut. Then we took turns cutting a piece off. When we got there, she was a Missouri fan. By the time we left, she was a 'Hawks fan.' Until the players' arrival at 9:25, the crowd was kept entertained with music, trivia and performances by the Crimson Girls. When the team arrived, 10,000 screaming fans were waiting. The players stood on James Naismith court fielding questions and speaking to fans. One man said his wife would give birth in less than a month, and after watching the team play, he had decided to name the child after freshman guard Keith Langford. Another fan led the crowd in a chant of "One more year," to persuade junior Drew Gooden not to enter the NBA draft this year. Before leaving the court for the first official meeting as a Final Four team, Roy Williams asked that the fan meet the team again next Tuesday when they return from Atlanta.
