Forward Lynn Pride added 20 points Saturday as the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers in the Hearnes Center for the first time since Jan. 25,1995.
"I take this win as a real positive step in our program," said Coach Marian Washington. "For them to come here and do this is quite an accomplishment."

In addition to scoring 20 points, Pride had six rebounds, five steals and three blocked shots.
The Jayhawks rejected a season-high 10 shots. That total is the fifth-highest in Kansas history, and it helped add to the team's defensive effort.

Raymant said, "To beat Missouri at Missouri, which we haven't done in a while, was a good win. We ought to walk out with our heads up."

Swimmers win but disappoint
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team won 13 of 16 events and the men's team won 12 of 16 events this weekend, but head coach Gary Kempf was disappointed with his teams' performances.
Both teams were victorious Saturday at Carbondale, Ill., against Southern Illinois University. The men won 164.5-133.5 and the

women won 182-108.
"We weren't very fast. We need to adjust to the speed work we're doing." Kempf said. "Their bodies need to make an adjustment to the type of work we've been doing."
Kansas swimmer finishes eighth at world match
Until now, the team has worked on endurance, but with the conference championships in the last two weeks of February, the team members have been working to fine tune their races.
Both the men's and the women's teams had four swimmers win two events each. Erin Staten, Carolyn Grevers, Rebecca Eustice and Kristin Nilsen won two events each for the women. Brandon Chestnut, Brian Klapper, Kostaki Chilligiris and diver Brian
Tyler Painter established himself as a world-class swimmer this weekend and set up a good opportunity to make the Olympic team.
Last year's meet against Southern Illinois was dedicated to Seth Dunscomb, who passed away Jan. 22. Although the team did not discuss it, it was in the back of their minds, Nilsen said.

"Even though our times were off, people stepped up and got the job done," said Kristin Nilsen, team captain.
"Seth's mom came down to watch, and that was special," Nilsen said.

Painter: Close to making the U.S. Olympic team.
"He has as
good an opportunity as anyone else to make the Olympics right now," said Gary Kemp, Kansas head coach. "All you really want is a good opportunity. But quality is not for another year and a half."
Painter was the top American finisher in the event with a time of 15:23.40. His time was well behind his career best of 15:17.01, and he was disappointed with his performance, Kemof said.
"He was a little frustrated," Kempf said. "He had hoped to place a higher, swim a little faster."
On Thursday, Painter finished 16th in the 400-meter freestyle with a time of 3:57.30.
This summer at the Phillip's 68 National Swimming Championships in Nashville, Tenn., he qualified to represent the United States at Australia. He finished second in the 1500-meter freestyle and third in the 400-meter freestyle.
His career best, which he set during the summer in Fukuoka, Japan, established Painter as the 15th-fastest American in the 400-meter freestyle and the 16th-fastest American in the 800- and the 1500-meter freestyle.
Kempf said Painter performed well.
"I told him he did a phenomenal job," he said. "He's still basically a rookie at the international level."

DOING IT
"I love the feeling of being on the water; it's such a rush," says Laura Lohrmann. The senior Exercise Science major has been a water rat since the ripe old age of six when she first tried water-skiing in her hometown of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. She joined
an amateur show ski team and, since arriving at KU four years ago, she's been making a splash on the Club Waterski team. Now team president, Lohrmann placed first in Trick Skiing at the Purdue Fall Classic and fifth in the Region in Trick Skiing. During the last four summers, she honed her skills at Marine World in Vallejo, California, by performing swivels, doubles, pyramids and other spectacular stunts in two shows every weekday and up to four on weekends.
When she graduates, Lohmann has no intention of taking a "dry," boring desk job: Her goal is to get sponsored and join the pro-waterskiing tour.
