Key plays lead Kansas to tournament crown
By Jay Williams
Kansas sportwriter
It wasn't the shoes.
The Kansas women's basketball team did don black basketball shoes for the Big Eight Conference Women's Basketball Tournament, but it was much more than the simple change in color that brought the tournament crown and an automatic NCAA Tournament invitation to the Javahays.
"The team had been playing so well, I thought I should go ahead and make them happy." Washington said.
The team, seeded No. 4 in the tournament, made Washington happy last weekend in Salina, winning three games against tough opponents. Kansas defeated Missouri 63-56 then. No. 6 in the nation Colorado 81-78 in double overtime and No. 20 Nebraska 64-60 in the championship game.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said the shoes were a reward to her team prior to the start of the tournament. The team, she said, had been playing better basketball in the final weeks of the season. And the players had been asking for black shoes all season long.
Sophomore forward Angela Aycock was named tournament Most Valuable Player and reserve sophomore forward Alana Slatter was named to the all-tournament team after averaging 14 points on 53 percent shooting.
"Alana Slatter is one of the finest athletes in the conference," Washington said after the Nebraska game. "Hopefully, this will give her some confidence."
But it was more than a two-person show in Salina.
"Everybody is getting into the action and doing what they do best." Ayceo
Every time Kansas needed a big
play, somebody came up with one for the Jayhawks:
Ahead by three with 30 seconds remaining against Missouri, junior guard Michelle Leathers hit four free throws in a go-ahead play, giving kapusas a seven-point victory.
■ On Kansas' final possession in the second overtime against Colorado, the Jayhaws missed two shots, but controlled the ball after each miss, keeping Colorado, trailing by three points, away from a chance to tie.
With Kansas ahead by two points with less than a minute remaining against Nebraska, junior center Lisa Tate blocked Nakefa Brown's shot attempt. Tate was fouled and made two free throws to seal the victory. Tate broke her own conference single-season record for blocks last weekend. She now has 86 for the season, four more than the old record.
"Those intangibles coming together make you a difficult team to beat," Washington said.
Also against the Cornhuskers, sophomore forward Caryn Shinn helped hold conference player of the year Karen Jennings scoreless for more than 18 minutes while the Jayhawks jumped out to a nine-point halftime lead.
Those intangibles helped the Jayhawks, along with Washington, earn their sixth tournament title, the most of any coach or team in tournament history.
Washington said the team had been playing and practicing its best basketball of the season in the weeks leading
Angela Aycock, tournament MVP, and Alana Slatter, that team member, increased their scoring averages to help the Jayhawks win the Conference tournament.

up to the tournament. Kansas had won seven of its last eight games. At the tournament, the team reached another level with their play, especially at the defensive end.
Nebraska coach Angela Beck praised the Jayhaws' performance in the title game.
"The intensity in their man defense I had never seen before." Beck said.
"We didn't have a taste, as far as winning the big games," Aycock said. "At the tournament, we really wanted those games bad."
Aycock said the Jayhawks had matured during the season. Kansas struggled early in the year.
Senior guard Shannon Kite set a tournament record for three-point field goal percentage, making 8 of 12 three-pointers in the three games. Kite said the team's confidence was high after the unset of Colorado.
"After the Colorado game, losing to Nebraska never crossed our minds," she said.
Tennis player makes debut in college poll
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas senior Carlos Fleming achieved his goal of becoming the top-ranked African-American collegiate tennis player in the nation when he made his debut in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's polls at No. 59 this week.
By Blake Spurney
He said it was a goal he set for himself before he came to Kansas five years ago.
"My family was extremely proud," he said. "It's a definite milestone."
Fleming, 8-3, has his sights on an even bigger goal, which is to finish the year as an All-American. The ranking is in line with the said, but he will not哎咐 this run.
"I know I train harder and am better in the country," he said.
Fleming and sophomore Manny Ortiz also appeared in the doubles rankings for the first time at No. 27.
The pair has compiled an 8-2 record, but is coming off two consecutive defeats, one to Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and the other to Drake
Ortiz said he was a little disappointed that he and Fleming were not
"We feel we could play with anybody in the country." Ortiz said.
Three of their victories came against doubles combinations ranked higher than them.
Earlier this season, Fleming and Ortiz defeated doubles pairs from No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Colorado and No. 12 Arkansas.
Ortiz said the loss to SIU-Edwardsville, a NCAA Division II team, definitely ionized their standings.
"When you lose to a Division II team, it hurts," he said.

Sex is all around, but most folks would really rather not talk about it.
What do you say when a friend shows you a bruise from her last date? What do you say when a friend tells you she had a child in high school that she gave up for adoption? What do you say when someone tells you that your roommate is homosexual? What do you say when your companion wants to go farther than you do on the first date? What do you say when a friend asks you about contraception? What do you say when someone asks you out, but you aren't attracted to people of their gender? What do you say when a friend asks you about abortion? Why is sex so tough to talk about?
