Wildcats snap losing streak
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Gilson Dejesus didn't stop shooting 3-pointers — even after his missed his first five shots.
His stubbornness paid off.
DeJesus' 3-pointer with 3:11 left sparked a game-ending 11-10 run as Kansas State beat Colorado 62-54 last night to snap a four-game losing streak.
The shot came a little more than a minute after DeJesus hit a 3-pointer to tie the game 49-49. He finished the night 3-of-10 from beyond the arc.
"We needed something to get us going." Dejesus said. "It
reminded me of the Kansas game. I was like, 'It's not going to happen to us again.' So we worked the ball and it found me free to shoot."
Tim Ellis, Frank Richards and Jarrett Hart led Kansas State with 11 points. Matt Siebrandt and Pervis Pasco each had 10. Richards also had eight assists.
"We never talk about abandoning the 3-point shot," Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge said. "We played with a lot of grit and
toughness against a very good basketball team."
The Wildcats (12-10, 3-6 Big 12) made 6-of-7 free throws in the final 1:21 to win their first conference game since Jan. 22.
"It was a great time to make free throws," Wooldridge said. "To me that's mental toughness. This was a huge game for this team."
Stephane Pelle, who had 12 of Colorado's 18 first half points, finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Michel Morandais had 12 points and David Harrison added 10.
Colorado (14-8, 4-5 Big 12) has lost all five of its Big 12 road games.
"I thought Pelle kept us in the game early, but we didn't get much from anybody else," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said.
Kansas State took a 23-18 halftime lead after a sloppy first half for both teams. The Wildcats forced 16 turnovers, 12 in the first half.
"Our perimeter guys played great defense on their shooters," Siebrandt said. "It was a good team effort on the defensive side of the ball."
Kansas State went on an 8-0 run to start the second half and took its biggest lead at 37-24 with 14:10 remaining. Colorado took a brief lead at 45-41 with 7:28 left after going on a 16-2 run.
Magic's Shawn Kemp suspended again for violation of league's anti-drug policy
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Magic center Shawn Kemp was suspended without pay by the NBA on Tuesday, the third time he has violated the terms of the league's anti-drug policy.
Kemp's suspension began with Tuesday night's game against the New Jersey Nets, and will continue until he has resumed full compliance with his treatment program.
Orlando coach Doc Rivers received word of the suspension from general manager John Gabriel when he was getting into his car to drive to the arena for the game.
"We don't know whether the program was violated or he just missed a test. You just hope things work out for him," Rivers said.
"We don't know whether the program was violated or he just missed a test. You just hope things work out for him.The basketball side of it with him I could honestly care less. He's not a bad guy at all."

"The basketball side of it with him I could honestly care less. He's not a bad guy at all."
participated in the Magic's Tuesday morning shootaround at the TD Waterhouse Centre. Gabriel spoke with him by telephone in the afternoon, but did not shed any light on why the 13-year pro was suspended.
Kemp practiced Monday and
"I have no reaction because it's not clear what we would be reacting to." Gabriel said.
Asked how Kemp responded, Gabriel said: "He's just disappointed at the news. I can't elaborate."
A year ago, when he was with the Portland Trail Blazers, the 6-foot-10 Kemp was suspended for five games for violating the policy. He sat out from Feb. 22 through March 4 and lost $141,889 of his $12.77 million salary for each game he missed.
The 33-year-old Kemp, a six-time All-Star, also missed the final eight games of the 2000-2001 season, taking a leave of absence from Portland and entering a substance abuse program. Because he volunteered to enter a program, he was not suspended by the league at that time.
Certain substances, such as cocaine and LSD, call for dismissal from the league, although players may apply for reinstatement after two years.
The league, its teams and the players' association are prohibited from publicly disclosing information regarding the testing or treatment of any player in the program other than to announce a player's suspension or dismissal from the league.
