Junior guard Anthony Beane, senior forward Aaron Collier, and junior guard/forward Askia Jones also scored in double figures.
Late surge helps K-State win semifinal
By David Dorsey Kansan sportswriter
"It was a total breakdown of our team, and that's my responsibility."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas coach Roy Williams wandered down a long, Kemper Arena corridor. When he reached the doorway to his team's locker room, he did not enter. He continued down the hallway — alone.
Kansas senior point guard Adonis Jordan said the players were to blame.
Whathas blamed you? "This is the poorest coaching job I ever done," he said, "I've always said if you can't dunk it, don't try to. And we were coming down and shooting three-pointers on the break.
Williams had just explained at a post-game news conference the Jayhawks' 74-67 Big Eight Tournament loss to Kansas State.
batter.
"We's all up to us," Jordan said. "We have to go out there and play. We're 25-6. He couldn't have done that bad of a job coaching."
Williams blamed himself.
The Wildcats, who lost yesterday 68-56 to Missouri in the championship game, surged late in the second half against Kansas with an 14-4 run.
K-State had trailed 50-40 with 12:38 remaining after Kansas junior forward Steve Woodberry put in a shot missed by Kansas senior center Eric Pauley.
Kansas senior guard Rex Walters, who scored 22 points in Friday's 82-65 first-round victory against Colorado, scored 10 points against K-State.
With 1.09 remaining, Beane hit a 21-
foot three-pointer over Jordan and gave
the Wildcats their first lead of the
second half at 68-65.
"They went up by 10 today, and we kept our composition," said K-State junior point guard Anthony Beane.
the Wildcats surged, the Jayhawks broke down.
And Pauley, with 45 seconds remaining, missed what he called "the stupidest shot" he had ever taken, his first career three-point attempt.
Kansas sophonome center Greg Ostertag, normally a back-to-the-basket player, fired up a 16-foot jump shot that bounced off the rim.
"I didn't want to be too close to him because of my leg," said Jordan, who had aggravated a stress fracture in his lower left leg early in the first half. "I'd rather have him take a long shot than penetrate."
scores of pointers.
"I didnt play the way I should have played, but there is a tomorrow," Walters said. "I'll bounce back."
several possessions later, Jordan,
on the right side of the court, sensed
that the left side was open and rifled a
pass — to no one.

'Hawks get home-court start
The Kansas women's basketball team hopes there is no place like home.
By Jay Williams
The Jayhawks, 21-8, will play host to California in the first round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Allen Field House.
California, 19-8, earned an at-large bid after finishing in a fourth-place tie in the Pacific 10 Conference
Kansas received the home-court advantage thanks to its strong finish. The Jayhawks have won seven in a row and 10 of their last 11 games. Kansas has beaten No. 9 Colorado. No. 20 Nebraska and No. 25 Oklahoma State in the last three weeks but has not played since Monday, when
the team clinched the Big Eight Conference Tournament title with a 64-60 victory against the Cornhuskers.
Despite the layoff, the momentum built during their late-season rush will help the Jayhawks Wednesday, freshman guard Charisse Sampson said.
"Those wins give us more confidence in ourselves," she said.
The Golden Bears are 4-4 in their last eight games.
"We would have liked to have a stronger finish," California coach Gooch Foster said.
on the road to open the NCAA tournament. She said that she was glad she did not have to play against West Coast teams that knew the Golden Bears' tendencies.
The two combine for 28.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists a game.
beas's a hatcher.
"To be truthful, we're glad to be out of the West," she said. "We think it gives us an advantage."
Ukrainian.
"It doesn't matter if you know what Ukradinovic is doing," she said. "She'll do it anyway."
Foster said she did not mind going
But Stanford coach Tara Van-Derverve, whose team lost to California once this season, said advance knowledge did not help in stopping Vukadinovic.
Washington and the rest of the Jayhawk coaching staff spent yesterday scrambling to find out about their first-round opponent.
The dayhawks might want to swing by the office of international studies and programs to do their research because the Bears rely on two foreign players who form one of the most productive backcourts in the nation: senior guard Milica Vukadinovic and sophomore guard Jack Lear.
Lear, from Gold Coast, Australia,
scored 20 Saturday in the season
finale against Oregon. She averages
12.6 points and 4.1 assists a game.
Vukadinovic, a 6-foot-12 year old from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, has been called by many coaches on the West Coast the female equivalent of Magic Johnson. She averages 16.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists a game.
Foster said that she liked playing against a team that had not seen Vukadinovic this season because California used her in many roles.
KANSAS BRIEFS
Kansas will not have any divers competing at this year's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. None of the Jayhawks who participated at the NCAA Zone meet in Austin, Texas, qualified for the championships.
Divers fail to qualify for championships
Kansan staff report
Freshman Kris Hoffman was 19th.
Junior Tim Davidson finished 11th, but only the top nine divers qualified for the men's NCAA Championships in Indianapolis March 25-27.
for the women, sophomore Amy Graham placed 19th, and sophomore Erika Rasmusson placed 20th.
Two track athletes compete at indoors
Kansan staff report
Senior high jumper MaryBeth Labosky and junior mueller Michael Cox competed at the NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend at the Hoosierdome in Indianapolis.
Cox made the finals in the mule and finished ninth with a time of 4:09.02. Niall Bruton of Arkansas won the event in 4:00.05.
Labosky, who earned All-America honors by placing sixth in last year's NCAA Outdoors, failed to place in the top six. Her best jump was 5-10. Arizona high jumper J.C. Brunton captured the title by clearing an NCAA record 6-3%.
