QUOTE OF THE DAY
"When we come in the game, we change the pace, we change the tempo, and we change the outlook of what we do."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Who was the last Kansas basketball player to be drafted number one overall in the NBA?
A. Danny Manning, 1988 to the Clippers

THE MORNING BREW
Jayhawks succeed in the NBA
Kansas Basketball is overrated. Great, now that I have your attention, I would like to talk about an actual season tip-off that occurred this past Tuesday, the NBA season tip-off. No, exhibition games do not count towards your regular season record; therefore, basketball season here in Lawrence has not officially started. Now that I got that off my chest, Tuesday's NBA tip-off consisted of a lot of interesting, yet positive, headlines surrounding former Kansas basketball players, that should be noted.
XAVIER HENRY,
THE LAKERS SAVIOR?
Making a Lakers debut for the ages, this Kansas alum came off the bench for the purple and gold and scored a career, and game high, 22 points. Especially while Kobe Bryant is rehabbing his torn Achilles tendon, Henry could possibly be a crucial part to the Lakers success early on in the season. His improved shooting ability, and his big, athletic body, are the perfect tools that Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni, looks for when assembling a team.
The excitement and energy that Henry,
MARIO CHALMERS,
THE DEFENSIVE ANIMAL
along with the rest of the Lakers bench, brought onto the court Tuesday to defeat the Clippers are something that will be needed on a consistent basis throughout the entire season, even when Bryant returns. Henry was also one of five Lakers to come off the bench and score double digits. While grabbing six rebounds, and knocking down a trio of three pointers, his presence was definitely felt, as the Lakers score 15 more points than the Clippers when he was on the floor.
The 2008 National Championship hero made sure to put the most anticipated return
to the NBA since Jordans comeback on hold by completely shutting down Derek Rose Tuesday night. To compliment his five steals, Chalmers also held Rose to 12 points on 4-15 shooting, while forcing Rose to commit five turnovers as well. And did you see that crossover Norris Cole had on Rose? Once, Rose literally fell to the ground. I guarantee that Bulls fans had a slight heart attack, hoping their pri
possession did not suffer another injury.
But all the Derek Rose news aside, if Chalmers is able to keep up the defensive ability that he showed on Tuesday, the Heat are going to have a tough time finding another team that will be able to challenge them in the Eastern Conference. Although his offensive skill-set may not be where people anticipated, that is alright, because Cole can have the responsibility to score the ball, if Chalmers can do all of the defensive work.
THE NEW GUYS
As the 7th and 39th pick of this past year's draft, Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey will look to contribute early to their teams. McLemore will most likely be starting for the
Sacramento Kings, who are in desperate need of a star, something McLemore can provide for that franchise. His shooting ability and athleticism are going to make him a possible candidate for the Rookie of the Year award. Although Withey will not see as much playing time
as McLemore, his defensive contributions to the New Orleans Pelicans are going to be essential if they want to become a possible playoff team. His time on the floor might be limited due to the crowded frontcourt the Pelicans currently have, but he will provide a much needed depth to a weak bench.
One thing that coach Bill Self has traditionally done a good job of, is making his players "NBA ready." Judging by the talent of former Jayhawks, and where they stand in the NBA now, I think it is safe to say that McLemore and Withey won't have much trouble making the transition. Oh, and side note, I do not think that Kansas Basketball is overrated.

The women's team will focus their efforts on pack running after a 36th place finish in Terre Haute, Ind. They finished behind Oklahoma State (20th place), Kansas State (30th place) and Baylor (31st place). Sophomore Hannah Richardson has had an excellent season so far and will lead the women along with senior Natalie Becker. The women came in 7th place at the Big 12 Championship last year.
The top men's and women's teams will be crowned the league champion, and the top 15 individuals in each race will be named all-conference.
