DEFENSE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"The three-pointers are just what Nebraska exploited," Collison said. "If we had played someone else, they probably would have exploited something else with the way we played yesterday."
Kansas has struggled more than once this season guarding strong outside shooting teams. The Jayhawks rank second-to-last in the Big 12 in the number of three-point field goals allowed, giving up an average of eight treys per game.
game. In both of Kansas' losses this season — to Ball State and UCLA — the Jayhawks couldn't find a way to stop their opponent's outside game.
Ball State hit 43.3 percent of its three-pointers in a winning effort against Kansas to open the season. Guard Chris Williams led the way with five trews.
Against UCLA on Jan. 12, the Jayhawks couldn't stop guard Matt Barnes, who made 3-of-4 from behind the arch.
Kansas has rolled through Big 12 play with a 14-0 record. The team has blown out every Big 12 opponent except for four teams — Oklahoma, Iowa State, Texas and Nebraska — each of whom were within 10 points of beating the Iavhawks.
The Jayhawks might have been able to cruise through those games if it weren't for their perimeter defense. Those four Big 12 opponents combined to average 10.2 buckets from outside against Kansas. They also combined to hit 46.9 percent of their three-point shots.
Kansas senior guard Jeff Boschee said most teams were bound to run into players having great shooting days from behind the arch at some point during the season. In that situation, there's not much that can be done to defend them.
carbe done to cheer them on.
"When you face shooters like that, putting a hand in their face isn't going to matter if they still have a clean look at the basket," Boschee said. "It's just something we have to overcome."
Williams said Kansas needed to improve its perimeter defense soon, because three-point shooting becomes even more of a factor during the NCAA Tournament.
"I'd say later in those games the shots get tougher in the tournament, but early on, those teams are fast and happy-go-lucky and free, and feel like they have nothing to lose," he said. "If you don't get out and defend the three in the first couple rounds in the NCAA tournament, that's where a lot of the upsets come."

HAYES
Randall said. "He's a great leadoff hitter."

For an offense that has been effective, yet inconsistent, Hayes continues to be counted on at the top of the batting order. He's among team leaders with a .379 batting average, 15 runs scored and four stolen bases, and has played flawless defense in center field.
"They might not be hits," Hayes said, "but I've gotten on most of the time, so I feel like I'm doing my job out there."
Hayes, a Mesquite, Texas, native, has scored a run in every game this season and has hit safely in seven of the eight.
"It seems like it's been every game," Randall said. "He's just been extremely good in that leadoff position."

BALLARD
Aaron Miles is five assists shy of breaking Jacque Vaughn's freshman record of 181.
"He has gotten better since earlier when we were playing some teams that might not be as strong as what we have in the conference." Williams said.
ence, williams said. "I think the biggest part of that is that he's moving from being a freshman to being a more experienced player and knowing what's going on," he said. "He's really having a good year and it is being overlooked."

Senior guard Jeff Boschee grabs the ball and takes a shot after a failed basket attempt. The Jayhawks overcame a 12-point second-half deficit, making the win over Nebraska the largest second-half comeback for Kansas this season.
