Jayhawks blow away Cyclones
Coach Roy Williams turns to calm down a fired-up Kansas crowd.

After sputtering in Saturday's loss at Oklahoma State, the Kansas Jayhawks' offense was at full throttle again last night against Iowa State.
Kansas set the defensive tone early and controlled the backboards. The Jayhawks held Iowa State to 36 percent goal-goal shooting and outbounded the Cyclones 42-27, the largest margin for Kansas in any game this season.
Behind a career-high 25 points from point guard Adonian Jordan, the No. 4 Jayhawks shot 62 percent from the floor and dismantled the Cyclones 91-60, improving their record to 18-2 and 6-1 in the Big Eight Conference.
"We played exceptionally well, Kansas coach Roy Williams said. I really thought we were outstanding defensively.
The Jayhawks broke the game open late in the first half. Leading 23-18, Kansas went on a 10-9rnd and took a 33-18 lead with 4:52 left in the half. By halftime, the Jayhawks had increased that lead to 42-26.
"We talked about being determined. I didn't think we were as determined as we wanted to be on Saturday. I think we bounced back from that loss Saturday pretty well."
IOWA State cut the lead to 54-37 with 14:51 left, but the Jayhawks went on another 10-0 run to take a 64-37 lead with 10:43 left, and the Cyclones, 17-6 and 3-4, never got closer than 27 after that.
Jordan and junior guard Rex Walters, who had 19 points, scored the Jayahawks' first seven points of the second half, giving Kansas a 51-30 lead.
Iowa State coach Johnny Orr said that Kansas deserved credit for taking the Cyclones out of their game.
"Kansas moved the ball super," he said. "We broke away from a lot of the things we've been doing well. I credit that to Kansas."
Williams said, "I told our kids they ought to feel very good about this because we beat a heckuva basketball team. I really believe Iowa State is an NCAA Team tournament."
Jordan was the catalyst for Kansas throughout the game. The 6-foot guard shot 10-of-14 from the field, including 4-of-6 from three-point range. He also had three assists and two steals.
"Adonis was just fantastic," Williams said. "He's been really discouraged about his game. I really think Adonis is back."
Jordan said he was glad to get back on track.
"Ireallywasn'tlooking to score," he said. "I just wanted to come out and play well.
"I had been taking a casual approach to our offense. From now on I'm going to be aggressive."
Walters, who had struggled somewhat in the last two games against Oklahoma State and Kansas State, said he felt more at ease during last night's game.
"I think that happens when you have fun," Walters said. "We decided we're not going to worry about things as much and just go out and have fun."

Cowboys, Hoosiers upset by underdogs
The Associated Press
Colorado used a zone defense to hold Bryon Houston to seven points and the Buffalo beat No. 2 Oklahoma State 57-53 last night, their second straight home upset of a ranked team.
Donnie Boyce's free throw with 3 seconds remaining sealed the victory, which came on the heels of an overtime victory against Oklahoma last week.
The Cowboys were not the only top five team to fall as No. 4. Indiana suffered a 71-67 loss to Minnesota.
The Buffs (11-9, 2-5) trailed Oklahoma State 30-22 at halftime, but rallied behind the zone defense, which helped hold Houston well under his 20.9 scoring average.
The Cowboys (21-2, 5-2) had 20 turnovers and shot just 39 percent, while Colorado finished at 47 percent.
Colorado took the lead for good at 47-45 with 5:54 remaining on a basket by Poncho Hodges.
Randy Robinson extended the lead to 56-51 with 1:08 left, but the Cowboys had one last chance. Bryant Reeves scored to cut the margin to 56-53 and Sean Sutton then stole the inbounds pass and set up a possible game-tying three-pointer by Darwyn Alexander.
Boyce rebounded the miss with 3 seconds left and was fouled by Sutton. He made the first of two free throws.
Boyce led Colorado with 15 points, while Hodges had 12.
Indiana's loss dropped the Hoosiers, 17-4 and 8-2, out of a first place tie with Ohio State in the Big Ten. Indiana's only other conference loss was to Michigan State on Feb. 2.
Syracuse admits NCAA violations
The Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Boosters gave Syracuse basketball players cash, free meals, free legal advice and other benefits in violation of NCAA rules, university officials admitted yesterday as they released the findings of an internal investigation.
incidents," Shaws said.
But Syracuse chancellor Kenneth Shaw stressed that coach Jim Boeheim and his assistants were not responsible for the violations, and that the university had not lost control of its perennially ranked men's program.
"The violations we found were unacceptable, but they were isolated
The school admitted 13 rules violations and probable wrongdoing in two other instances. One of the violations, which involved players receiving free haircuts, occurred before 1985 and is not punishable under the NCAA's general four-year statute of limitations. Shaw said.
Shaw declined to speculate on what penalties Syracuse might face as a result of the 500-page report. But he said there certainly would be sanctions from the NCAA.
Until the current investigation,
Syracuse's basketball team had
never been accused of violating
NCAA rules. No team in the powerhouse Big East Conference has faced NCAA sanctions before.
"I'm pleased that they came to the conclusion there's no systematic intent to violate NCAA rules," said Boeheim, whose team is 16-4 this season and ranked 10th in the nation.
"That's something we've maintained from the very beginning, and I think that the violations that were discovered were isolated incidents."
Among the violations committed by the men's basketball program, according to the university's investigation:
Bill Rapp Jr., a car dealer who once worked as the team's scorekeeper at away games, sent players
$50 in cash inside Christmas cards every year between 1983 and 1990.
Players received free or reduced-priced meals and drinks at Grimaldi's, a popular local restaurant.
Rochester lawyer Loren Kroll gave free legal service to former Orangeman Tony Scott.
Boeheim declined to discuss the possible penalties that the NCAA could impose, but he said he thought his program had stood up well after nearly two years of scrutiny.
"There's no program that can withstand 22 months of investigation and not find a violation," said Boeheim.
Missouri Tigers triumph over K-State in catfight
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Anthony Peeler and Jamal Coleman each scored 19 points, and No. 9 Missouri fought off a second-half challenge from Kansas State for a 67-59 Big Eight Conference victory last night.
Missouri led 44-35 early in the second half before Kansas State went on a 15-4 run to take a 50-48 lead on Vincent Jackson's three-pointer with 9:33 to play. But Missouri scored nine straight points, the last six on three-pointers by Melvin Booker and Peeler.
Jevon Crudup added 14 points for Missouri (17,3,5-2), which won its third straight game. The Tigers have beaten Kansas State four straight times and eight straight at home.
Coleman, who entered the game averaging 9.2 points, has scored 56 points in the last three games. Booker, who had a career-high 24 points in Sunday's victory at Oklahoma, was held to seven points.
Jackson had 15 points for Kansas State (12-8, 2-5), which had lost its previous three road games by an average of 29 points. Wylie Howard added 13 and Gaylon Nickerson 12.
Kansas State's Askia Jones, who hit seven three-pointers and had 25 points in an upset of Nebraska on Saturday, opened the game with a three-pointer but missed his next six shots before hitting two straight three-pointers midway through the second half to cut the Missouri lead to 44-41. He finished with nine points.
Coleman had 12 points and seven rebounds and Crudrup added 10 points in the first half as Missouri took a 35-27 lead. Coleman scored the last four points of the half, following a miss by Jeff Warren and hitting a jumper in the lane.

The No. 16 Kansas women's basketball team lost to Colorado 65-54 last night at Boulder in a key Big Eight Conference match-up.
The loss drops the Jayhawks, 18-4 and 7-2 in conference play, into a first place tie with Nebraska. Nebraska, 17-5 and 7, beat Missouri 69-65 in overtime last night in Lincoln.
Colorado's defense turned the table on Kansas' nation-leading defense.
The Lady Buffs held the Jayhawks to only 37.5 percent from the field, nearly 10 percent below their season average. Kansas' 54 points was the second lowest total for the Jayhawks this season.
The Jayhawks beat Colorado 66-48
Jan.18 at Allen Field House.
One difference in last night's outcome was the resurgence of Colorado's freshman guard Shelley Sheetz. Sheetz, Colorado's leading scorer averaging 13.3 points a game, exploded for 15 points lastnightincluding an extra two-throw stripe. She scored only four points in the teams' first meeting.
Colorado's junior forward Sherrie King was the game's second-leading scorer with 16 points.

Unified hockey team fails
He did not realize how historic last night's victory was until he was told that the Soviets, now playing as the Unified Team, had lost just five games in its nine Winter Olympics.
Ecstatic goalie Petr Briza thrust both arms skyward as the final horn sounded on Czechoslovakia's 4-3 victory and, perhaps, the Olympic hockey dynasty of the Soviet Union.
Czech coach Ivan Hinka agreed, but said that one victory would neither get his squad a gold medal nor put the Unified Team out of contention.
"Ever in the Olympics? Oh, we go for beer," Briza said. "Yeah, it's pretty big."
Czechoslovakia and Canada, a 10-0 conqueror of Norway, became the first two teams to clinch medal-round berths. Botha 3-0. The Unified Team (2-1) still has an excellent chance to advance.
OLYMPIC BRIEFS
"Our team gets a great feeling every time we beat the Russian team," he said, "but it's only one game."
Four teams from each six-team pool make the medal round. In that single-elimination phase, the first-place team in each pool faces the fourth-place team in the other and the second plays the third.
Canada has beaten the three weakest teams in its pool, France (1-2), Switzerland (0-3) and Norway (0-3). It plays Czechoslovakia and the Unified Team before medal play begins.
France won last night's other game against Switzerland, 4-3.
while outscoring opponents 411-111 in past Olympic Games. And the Unified Team picked that dominance right up, routing its first two opponents, Switzerland and Norway, B-1.
The Soviet Union had won seven gold medals and compiled a record of 53-8-2.
But the Unified Team has been weakened by the loss of young stars such as Sergel Fedorov, Alexander Mogilny and Pavel Bure to the NHL.
U.S. still with one medal
Bonnie Blair, who won United State's sole gold medal in 500-meters speed skating Monday, reluctantly raced the 1,500 to satisfy her coach and boost flagging U.S. spirits. She finished 21st out of 32 skaters. Teammate Mary Dofer completed 15th.
Germany's Jacqueline Boerner
edged teammate Gunda Niemann by
five-hundredths of a second and won the gold. Japan's Seiko Hashimoto took the bronze.
Germany also won gold and silver in the 10-kilometer biathlon with Mark Kirchner and Ricco Gross.
U. S. skier Krista Schmidtinger finished second in day one of the combined slalom behind World Cup over all champion Petra Kronberger.
French teammates, Fabric Guy and Sylvan Gallium, won the gold and silver medals, respectively, in the Nordic combined event.
Cammy Myler, a U.S. medal favorite in the luge, finished fifth in the two-day women's singles competition, the best ever finish for a U.S. slider. Austrian sisters "oris and Angelika Neuner swept the gold and silver medals.
