SPORTS UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Monday, February 1, 1993 7 Team-oriented Missouri to face Kansas Jayhawks rebound defeat Tars The Kansas men's basketball team will try duplicating the share-the-wealth offense displayed Saturday night against Rollins when it meets interstate rival Missouri at 8:30 tonight in Allen Field House. By David Dorsey "When you're able to hit those kinds of shots you get your rhythm going," he said. "My confidence is getting a lot better." By David Dorsey Kansan sportswriter "They have a lot of guys who can score, and they can play a lot of people." Williams said. "It's not the Anthony Peeler show. To me, that's the best kind of team that you can have." Like Missouri, Kansas does not have a specific go-to player. Eight Jayhawks have been leading scorers in games this season, most recently senior center Eric Pauley, who scored 21 points and made nine of 11 shots against Rollins. Pauley, who hit two jumps shot from just inside the three-point line, said his confidence had been up and down this season. Junior forward Darrin Hancock did not play Saturday after having surgery on both eyes last week. He is not expected to return until Sunday at Nebraska. "We're not going to have Darrin, so the other guys are going to have to The Jayhawks, 17-2 overall and 4-0 in Big Eight Conference play, pummed Rollins, an NCAA Division II school, 103-56 and had six assists during the first five minutes of play—one more assist than they had in last Monday's loss to Long Beach State. Five of the 'Hawks were in double figures. Missouri, 13-5 overall and 3-1 in the conference, lost twice to Kansas last season despite 30-point and 43-point eruptions from Anthony Peele, now an NBA rookie with the Los Angeles Lakers. But Kansas coach Roy Williams said he expected a close game.

"You can't take any chances on a young man's vision." Dan Schauer / KANSAN Hancock is expected to wear goggles for the remainder of the season and possibly for the rest of his playing career. Sophomore center Greg Ostertagdonned a pair of goggles against Rollin's because his contact lenses had been bothering him. He removed the nonprescription goggles in the second half because he felt uncomfortable with them. He also began to remove his blood-stained Jersey midway through the second half but ran off the court to change when Williams motioned him off the court. "I just thought I'd give the fans a thrill or laugh," he said about removing his shirt in front of a crowd of 15,800. Ostertag, who finished with six points and seven rebounds, had to change because of a new NCAA rule that prohibits bloody jerseys or bleeding players from the court. Kansas and Rollins thrilled the crowd early in the game during a five-minute stretch in which eight three-pointers were made. Kansas senior guards Rex Walters and Adonis Jordan each had two, and junior forward Steve Woodberry had one, but the Tars fought back with three three-pointers of their own and were down only 20-17.

Bennett / KANSAN Kansas junior Lisa Tate shoots over K-State's Shanele Stroes (No.5) during the Hawks' 51-8 victory yesterday Defensive Jayhawks pounce K-State Kansanstaff report Kansas senior Carlos Fleming defeated the No. 10 ranked player in the nation, All-American Marcus Hilpert, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7), Saturday. Fleming remains unbeaten in the spring tennis season. Senior maintains victory streak but tennis team falls to Arkansas BRIEF Fleming, who also is undefeated in doubles, teamed up with sophomore Manny Ortiz to knock off Arkansas', 16th-ranked doubles combination of Hilpert and Bounce Williams 8-4. However, Fleming's effort could not prevent the Kansas men's tennis team from falling 4-2 to No.16 Arkansas. Coach Michael Center said the team match was hard fought and could have gone either way. He said that at one point he thought Kansas had a chance to sweep the Razorbacks in the singles matches. Kansas' No. 3 singles player, freshman Reid Slattery, lost 7-6 in the third and final set. The Jayhawks' No. 4 and 5 singles players, freshmen J.P. Vissepo and Michael Isroff, also were defeated in the third set. Ortiz, the No. 2 singles player, was the only other Kansas player to win his individual match. In doubles, Kansas' No. 2 team of Vissepo and junior Brad Bernthal fell 8-6 to Arkansas' Scott Chankles and Miguel Valor. By Jav Williams Kansas 'next match is on Feb. 13 in Evanston, Ill., at the American Airlines Classic. MANHATTAN — The Kansas women's basketball team used its defense and some timely three-pointers from senior guard Shannon Kite to beat Kansas State 58-51 yesterday in Bramlette Coliseum. The Jayhawks, 11-6 overall and 4-3 in the Big Eight Conference, led by 10 points at halftime, but K-State climbed back in the game early in the second half. Kite's three-pointer with 12:38 to play put the Jayhawks in front for good. The Jayhawks' next home match is on Feb. 27 against Southwest Missouri State. Kansan sportswriter K-State played a zone defense against Kansas, leaving Kite open for long shots from both wings. Offensively, Kite scored 18 points, shooting six of eight from three-point range. She was the only Jayhawk to shoot better than 50 percent for the game. The Jayhawks once again shot poorly as a team on the road — 36 percent — but had 17 steals and forced K-State, 8-10 overall and 0-7 in the conference, into 27 turnovers. "Shannon Kite had a great shooting performance," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. Kite's final three-pointer was the most important. K-State had closed to within three points after senior guard Kelly Moylan's three-pointer with 1:35 remaining. Kite made a three-pointer 14 seconds later from the right wing, giving Kansas a 55-49 lead. K-State sophomore forward Shanele Stires led K-State's second half comeback, scoring 12 of her game-high 21 points in the first five minutes of the half. Stires' three-pointer from the top of the key put K-State ahead 39-38 with 15 minutes remaining. "I thought we played good, solid defense in the first half," Washington said. "We came out ready to play." K-State could not answer and had to foul. Kansas hit three of six free throws in the final 42 seconds, and K-State must be a jumper at the buzzer. The Jayhawks' tenacious man-to-man defense collected 19 steals in the first half and forced 29 K-State turnovers. The defense keyed a 16-2 run during a nine-minute span that gave Kansas a 26-12 lead with 5:30 remaining in the first half. K-State went almost 12 minutes scoring only one field goal. A Kite three-nointer and field goals from The Jayhawks had three turnovers in the first half and 12 for the game, their fewest this season. Kite had a career best with six three-pointers. She finished one sly of the all-time Kansas game record of seven. Kite did not attempt any two-point field goals. "I didn't feel we came out with the same intensity in the second half," Washington said. "We needed a change to make Kansas State think about us more and make some adjustments." Washington said the Jayhawks made an effort to get Tate the ball in the second half. Tate had eight of her 10 points and all three blocks in the second half as Kansas went into its zone defense, which was effective last week against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Aycock and junior center Lisa Tate helped Kansas regain control of the game. Aycock finished with 15 points. Tate finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots. K-State lost its 18th consecutive game to a conference opponent yesterday.

Rebounds Kansas 32 Monroe 9 KANSAS (11-6, 4-3) Track team places third By Blake Spurney Kansan sportswriter A few points separated the Kansas track team from Kansas State and Missouri during most of the KU-KSU-MU Triangular on Saturday in Manhattan, but Kansas finished third after struggling in both the men's and women's relays. The relays were the deciding factors in the battle for second place with Missouri. Kansas was leading the Tigers by three going into them, but in the four relays, Kansas placed second in one and third in the others. No points are awarded to the relay team that places third at triangulars. K-State won the event for the fourth consecutive year with a total of 137 points. Missouri finished second with 97, and Kansas finished with 94. This is the only meet of the year for the teams in which men's and women's scores are combined. That may be attributed to various illnesses and injuries that have slowed the Kansas athletes. Schwartz pointed out that he did not want to use injuries as an excuse, however, because the other teams had had the same difficulties. "We didn't have enough depth to run those relays," Coach Gary Schwartz said. Nevertheless, Kansas sophomore spinner Natasha Shafer said that K-State and Missouri had four or five athletes in each event to one or two for Kansas. The women's triple jumpers also had a strong meet. Junior Cassie Wans won with a leap of 39-33/4, and sophomore Heather Schorling placed second at 38-93/4. Shafer was not slowed by anything, however. She won the 55- and 200-meter dashes for the third straight meet with times of 7.15 and 25.02. This meet marked the debut for cross country All-American Julia Saul, who won the mile and placed second in the 3000. The junior said she was disappointed with her finish in the 3,000, but was not concerned with her times early in the season. On the men's side, junior Harun Hazim won the long jump, and junior Michael Cox placed first in the mile. One of the better performances may have been by senior Chris Walters, according to Schwartz. He competed in three events at virtually the same time. In those events he placed second in the pole vault, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 55-meter. Even though this was an important meet to the team, Saul said that the athletes would be looking forward to improving in the conference season. "We were all disappointed in this meet, but we're not going to dwell on it," she said. Kansas' next track meet is the Jayhawk Invitational Saturday at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Fans must play the lottery to get postseason tickets Special to the Kansan By Stacy Kunstel Special to the Kansan It will take Lady Luck, a KUID and a $110 deposit to get a student a coveted ticket to a Jayhawk postseason basketball game. Applications for the tickets are available outside the ticket office at Allen Field House. Students have until Feb. 19 to register. The application includes a form for each of the postseason tournaments, including the NCAA Final Four in New Orleans in April. Tickets for the NCAA tournament games cost $30 to $75. Tickets for the Big Eight Tournament cost $110 to $130. Each school in the Big Eight Conference gets 533 tickets for the Big Eight Kathy Frederickson, ticket sales associate, said a $110 deposit had to accompany the application. "The ticket office does not bill your credit card or cash your check until you have been selected through the lottery system," Frederickson said. "After being selected, you must confirm you are able to go, or another name will be drawn." Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Bernie Kish, director of ticket operations, said that approximately 100 of those tickets go to the team's traveling party. Of the remaining tickets, 65 percent go to Williams Fund members, 30 percent to students and 15 percent to faculty. The same percentage apply to the NCAA tournament tickets, although the number available has yet to be determined. The Monday morning before each phase of the NCAA Tournament, a list will be posted outside the ticket office, listing the students whose names have been drawn. The students then can pick up their tickets by showing their KUIDs at the tournament. Payment for the tickets, except for those to the Big Eight Tournament, must be received by the Tuesday before the tournament. The tickets are not transferable and only are available for those tournaments in which the Jayhawks play. Applications for faculty tickets were scheduled to be mailed today. Faculty also can pick up applications at the ticket office in the field house.
