Kansas can't do if it doesn't want an early exit from the tournament. The Jayhawks won't survive if they score a season-low 19 points and turn the ball over 12 times in the first-half, and if they shoot a season-low 33.3 percent from the field like they did against the Sooners.

"We didn't play what I call Kansas basketball." Williams said after the loss to Oklahoma. "We didn't have good movement of the ball or selves. Some shots we took too quickly, some shots we just forced. We didn't do things we're supposed to."
do things we are supposed to. The Sooners took the Jayhawks out of a rhythm that they had played to the tune of a 16-game winning streak and an undefeated romp through the Big 12 regular season for the first time since 1971.
Kansas needs its superstars to show up. Gooden scored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds against Oklahoma, but he committed six turnovers, too. Nick Collison, an Honorable Mention All-American, was solid with 15 points and 13 rebounds Sunday, but the junior forward sometimes gets in early foul trouble and becomes a non-factor.
Another Honorable Mention All-American, junior guard Kirk Hinrich, missed all 10 of his shots against Oklahoma. Jeff Boschsee, the Big 12's all-time leading three-point shooter, was two of eight from behind the arc and has scored just six points in his last two games.

"We just need to play hard from the get-go," Hinrich said. "Just flat-out get after it defensively and execute."
If Kansas doesn't find the form it had during its unprecedented run through the Big 12 regular season, it might fall victim to one of Nelly's tag lines.

Seven swimmers sacrifice spring break for Minnesota, Senior Nationals
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
Seven Kansas swimmers are giving up their spring breaks to compete in the U.S. Swimming Senior Nationals meet. The meet is the highest level of amateur competition in a year when there are no Olympic Trials. The meet is not associated with the NCAA Championships.
associated with Freshmen Miranda Issac, 200 breast; Aly Colver, relay; Jackie Krueger, relay; and Amy Gruber, 200 free; along with sophomores Ashley Dower, relay; and Kristen Johnson, 100 breast; and junior Gwen Haley, 400 IM, travel to Minneapolis, Minn., for the meet.
"We're doing it to keep our ladies on the national scene," coach Cathy Burgess said. "It's also a meet we like to recruit from."
The meet is open to swimmers of any age as long as they are amateurs, which means many club teams are represented.
euro teams are represented Haley competed at the Senior Nationals meet the summer before her freshman year in college. She said the meet was special because the competitors were usually in the top one percent of swimmers.
"There are future Olympians that swim at this meet," Haley said. "It's also fun to see people from our home teams."
people from our home countrie For Johnson, qualifying for Senior Nationals is always something she's strived for. "It's
nice to finally reach a goal," Johnson said. "I've never been close enough before. I've dropped a lot of time this year."
For Kansas, faring well at Senior Nationals is the next step the program needs to take. It's not an accident that four freshmen, two sophomores, and one junior are representing Kansas in this year's meet.
"I had hoped to make NCAAs." Haley said, referring to the NCAA Championships. "To do well at Seniors is the next stepping stone to getting to NCAAs."

Raiders replace Gruden with assistant
The Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Having let Jon Gruden go to Tampa Bay, the Oakland Raiders replaced him with an assistant coach who has shadowed Gruden for the past seven years.
Bill Callahan, who was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach, said yesterday he didn't plan to change much of the system Gruden presided over during the last four years as Raiders coach.
"Jon and I are very similar in a lot of respects — our work ethic, our intensity," said Cahlan, who has never been a head coach at any level. "The system itself will not change. The day-to-day functions will not change."
One thing that will change is the personality of the Raiders' head coach.
Gruden was theatrically intense on the sidelines, throwing tantrums and glaring at players and officials. Callahan, 45, who moved with Gruden from Philadelphia to Oakland in 1998, is studious and laid-back.
studios and I have “I've been very detail-oriented over the last 25 years,” Callahan said. "I'm not concerned about the effect of charisma. I'm more concerned about our team being charismatic on the field."
By promoting from within the system, Raiders owner Al Davis appears to have reasserted control over the team he has guided for nearly four decades. Gruden came to the Raiders as an outsider, and his relationship with Davis was strained at times.
The same applied to Mike Shanahan, who had a difficult 16 games in 1988 and 1989 and later led Denver to two Super Bowl victories.
As a sign of who now holds the real power on the Raiders, Davis sat on a silver and black armchair — which looked very much like a throne — during the news conference announcing Callahan's promotion.
Callahan sat on a black and white folding chair, as did Raiders executives Bruce Allen and Amy
And while Davis' tumbler with a silver and black Raiders logo was filled with water, Callahan, Allen and Trask each got only a half-filled glass.
Trask.
Callahan will be making a lot less money than his former boss is making now.
Gruden signed a five-year, $17.5 million contract with the Buccaneers in February despite being in the final year of his deal with the Raiders. As compensation, Oakland got four draft picks and $8 million.
Though the Raiders and Callahan's agent refused to discuss details of the contract, it is thought to be a three-year deal for $1 million annually — among the lowest in the NFL — plus a two-year club option.
Callahan was an assistant coach at Illinois, Northern Arizona. Southern Illinois and Wisconsin before joining the Eagles in 1995 as offensive line coach. Gruden was Philadelphia's offensive coordinator.
Callahan inherits a team that has won two straight AFC West titles and has one of the NFLs most potent offenses, but has aging players at several key positions and has had some off-field problems.
Defensive lineman Darrell Russell is serving a one-year drug suspension and was arrested last month and changed with 25 felonies as an accomplice connected to an alleged sexual assault.
After Gruden left for Tampa Bay, Davis said he made Callahan "captain" of the remaining coaches to see how he'd handle running the team during the free agent signing period. He named him coach on Tuesday.
Raiders officials always have claimed the NFL, which has fought a series of legal battles with Davis, is out to get the Raiders.
"He knows the pressure this job entails," Davis said. "He knows what it is to coach the Raiders."

If You Walk to Class, You'll Love This Plan
If you've enrolled here, you've walked, wheeled or, perhaps, smelled your way to class. You've become accustomed to one of the
nation's most beautiful campuses and its little quirks. There's a plan afoot to make this place even more beautiful, easier to get around, and a lot more unified in design.
A new master-landscape plan will include spiffy new
INVEST IN EXCELLENCE
"gateways" at each campus entrance, enhanced walkways, new campus signage and heavy use of climate-appropriate plantings. Special emphasis will be placed on making the north side of Memorial Drive a pedestrian walkway.And a new Mid-Hill Walk on the south slope of campus will provide an uninterrupted east-west corridor.
KU First seeks to raise $500 million by 2004,$8 million of which will help enhance KU's distinctive sense of place. Another $10 million will be raised to add a building at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park to establish a sense of place there, as well.
So that wherever you go on campus, there you are.
