THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2003 BASKETBALL ... THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 13A Men's Basketball While We Were Out Seven straight wins for Jayhawks By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Jayhawks (12-3, 2-0) would rather forget their Thanksgiving vacation. Playing as they did throughout their winter vacation is making that task a little easier. After absorbing lopsided defeats from North Carolina and Florida during its Turkey Day trip to New York, Kansas won 10 of 16 next 11 games, including seven straight while on break from classes. For complete game stories check Kansan.com. Dec.21 Kansas 87, UCLA 70 Senior Kirk Hintrich scored 13 points in the first half and guided what coach Roy Williams called the Jayhawks' finest defensive performance of the season. The Bruins had even less success stoping Hinrich after the break, but they were able to slice what was once a 26-point lead to 11 with four minutes left to play. UCLA's run was short-lived. Kansas outscored the Bruins 12-6 in the closing minutes, pushing the final margin of victory to 17 points. Hinrich's game-high 27 points led four Kansas starters in double figures. Sophomore forward Wayne Simien scored 19 points, senior forward Nick Collison 18 and sophomore guard Keith Langford 13. Dec.28 Dec.28 Kansas 80. California 67 It was supposed to be a homecoming for former Jayhawk Drew Gooden's senior year, but with Gooden's departure for the NBA, Kansas was left with only its pride to play for in the Pete Newell Challenge. That didn't seem to bother Collison and Simien. The Kansas big men both recorded double-doubles and proved more than the Golden Bears could handle. Simien finished the game with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Collison added 16 points and 10 rebounds. Both players benefited from sophomore guard Aaron Miles' best performance of the season. Miles became the third Jayhawk to reach double figures in two statistical categories with 16 points and 11 assists. Jan.2 Kansas 102. University of North Carolina-Ashville 50 To North Carolina-Asheville, it must have appeared that Kansas had 10 players on the floor. The Jayhawks had only five but spent much of the game with twice as many points on the scoreboard. Kansas doubled UNC-Ashville's score 11 times during the contest. The first came when senior Bulldog guard Alex Kragel cut the Jayhawks lead to 18-9 with a three-pointer. The final occurred when senior walk-on Brett Olson scored Kansas' 100th point with 54 seconds remaining. Jan.4 Kansas 100, University of Missouri-Kansas City 46 The Jayhawks won another blowout but paid a huge toll. Simien dislocated his right "I had a few jitter bugs, but you know what you have to do. You have to go out there and play. We didn't really have time for nervousness." shoulder when he caught his hand on the basket while trying to block a shot. Team trainers quickly rushed him to the locker room, and when he returned to the bench in the second half, he was wearing street clothes and a sling. Jeff Graves Junior forward The injury removed any trace of humor from Williams' postgame talk. "You should never say today was a real downer when you're involved with athletics," he said. "But today was one of those days." Simien has not practiced since the game, and his condition has not been updated. The loss came at a bad time for the Jayhawks because forward Moulaye Niang was scheduled to fly to his Senegal home to attend his father's funeral. Kansas 83, Iowa State 54 Jan. 6 With Simien watching from the sideline, Kansas handed Iowa State its worst loss in the 31-year history of James H. Hilton Coliseum. Collision led the Jayhawks with a career-best 31 points. "It was great for me," Collison said of his last collegiate appearance in his home state. "I don't think it could have gone any better." Simien's replacement, junior Jeff Graves, provided plenty of support for Collison. He grabbed 10 rebounds, scored 7 points and frequently dove to the floor to retrieve loose balls. "I had a few jitter bugs," Graves said after the game. "But you know what you have to do. You have to go out there and play. We didn't really have time for nervousness." Jan.11 Kansas missed '11 of its first 14 shots, Williams got so angry with his starters he replaced all five in the first half, Simien missed his second game, and the Jayhawks beat Nebraska by 33. Jan. 11 Kansas 92. Nebraska 59 Substitutes Jeff Hawkins, Christian Moody, Brett Olson, Bryant Nash and Michael Lee entered the game at the 16:04 mark and provided the Jayhawks with two defensive stops while maintaining a furious pace for two minutes. After their dismal start, the starters returned to the floor, and Hinrich made sure Williams would not have to repeat the substitution. He burned the Cornhuskers with a series of twisting layups and three-pointers, finishing the day with a game-high 28 points. Graves continued to give the team a boost, scoring 11 points to go along with 12 rebounds. -Edited by Julie Jantzer RECREATION SERVICES Team Sports SPRING 2003 INTRAMURAL TEAM SPORTS Managers Meeting Team Sports Basketball 3 on 3 Soccer Softball Ultimate Sand Volleyball Officials Meeting Tues. 1/21, 7:00pm Sun 3/2, 7:00pm Sun 3/2, 7:45pm Sun 3/9, 7:00pm Sun 3/9, 7:30pm Tues. 1/21, 7:30pm 156 Rob.
