Aycock named all-conference
By Jay Williams

Everybody knows it's coming, but nobody has figured out how to stop it.
Angela Aycock takes a pass on the left wing and faces the basket. She fakes to the middle and dribbles to the left, stopping after one or two dribbles and launching a short jump shot.
This season, the sophomore forward's sweet spot has been the left side. In the last four games, she has taken just one shot from the right side of the court.
"I didn't realize that," she said. "It's not planned. It just happens."
The Big Eight Conference coaches named Aycock to the All-Big Eight first team which was released yesterday. Her teammates and coaches already know her value to the team.
"She's been one of the key players for this team," said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
She will continue to be an important cog in the Jayhawks' machine as Kansas prepares for the Big Eight Tournament in Salina. The Jayhawks, 18-8 overall and 9-5 in the conference, will play Missouri at 2 p.m. Saturday in the first round at the Bicentennial Center.
Aycock is averaging 16 points and 6.6 rebounds a game. She also leads Kansas in steals, free throws and minutes played. She has improved in almost every statistical category this season from her freshman season.
But for Aycock, achieving team goals is more important than individual accolades.
"Coach and I talked about my role on the team and how I have to be a team player," she said. "Whatever I do has to be team-oriented."
Aycock has developed into one of the Jayhawks' leaders after adjusting to college basketball last season. Aycock, a tri-captain along with senior guard Shannon Kite and junior guard Michelle Leathers, has had to take a stronger role with the young Jayhawks although it is just her second year with the program.
"I don't look at it as taking it on all myself," Aycock said. "I look at it as 'you got my back and I got yours.'"
highly recruited out of high school and were expected to make an immediate impact.
Aycock has helped freshman guard Charisse Sampson adjust to college basketball. The two share a similar basketball background. Both were
Aycock said the pressure she put on herself was more than anybody else did.
"Coach told me last year, 'you can only do so much.'" Avcock said.
only observes him. Sampson, like Aycock last year, has shown some inconsistency in her freshman season.
Angie told me she's been through many of the same things," Sampson said. "She's always there for me. People are lucky to know her. She's a great player and a great person."
For Aycock, many goals remain,
including a trip to the Final Four.
"It may take a couple of years, but we'll get there," she said. "Also, we want to get recognized as a powerhouse team. Advancing to the Final Four would open those doors for us."
sampson and junior center Lisa Tate were also named to the All-Big Eight team as honorable mention selections. Sampson is averaging 12.2 points and 5.1 rebounds a game. Tate is averaging 9.3 points and 8.4 rebounds and leads the conference with 74 blocked shots.
