Hinrich

After publicly criticizing himself for a passive performance that led to only 2 points against Duke, Hinrich was poison to Arizona. Wild-geri nior "Every time they needed a bucket, he was there." Jason Gardner Arizona senior guard, about Kirk Hinrich
guard Jason Gardner knows first hand. It was Gardner who shot the late three-pointer into Hinrich's palm, and it was Gardner again who was chased down by Hinrich as he fired Arizona's last unanswered prayer at the buzzer. It was also Gardner, along with the rest of the Wildcats, who watched as Hinrich put Kansas ahead twice late in the game with deep three-pointers.
"That is why he is one of the best players in the country," Gardner said. "Every time they needed a bucket, he was there."
Now Hinrich plans to be there for his team in New Orleans, but even if he leads Kansas to its first title since 1988, don't expect to know it by the tone of his voice. The accomplishment might be obvious by what he wears around his neck.

seven runs up in the first four innings. The Jayhawks tried to fight back as they scored once in both the third and fourth inning, but could not get any closer.
A highlight from yesterday's game came from senior Casey Spanish, who went 4-for 4 on the day with two singles, a triple and a home run
"We just have to forget about this loss and continue to play hard," Spanish said. "Coach did not have much to say, and we know that we have to get the win tomorrow and avoid the sweep."
The Jayhawks and Cowboys will finish their threegame series today at 3 p.m. at Hogglund Ballpark.
