The Jayhawks start two guards, meanwhile, and both are better than anybody in the Redbird threesome. Advantage: Kansas Forwards: Haul in Carrot Top — it's not even going to be funny how much the Jayhawk front line will dominate the outmanned Redbird forwards. Advantage: Kansas kansastarters No. Pos.

The third-ranked Spartans beat No. 6 North Carolina 77-64 last night in an ACC/Pig Ten Challenge game. Jason Richardson led Michigan State (4-0) with 16 points, while Andre Hutson had 14 points and nine rebounds. Charlie Bell added 15 points as part of the Spartans' balanced attack. Kris Lang prevented North Carolina (3-1) from being routed by scoring a career-high 22 points on 11-of-16 shooting. Michigan State extended the nation's longest winning streak to 15 games and won its 32nd straight home game, second only to Utah's 54 in a row at home. They led by 13 at halftime, and the Tar Heels were not able to slice the deficit to less than seven Michigan State 77 North Carolina 64 in the second half. With about four months and 30 games left before Michigan State will have a chance to defend its NCAA title, the Spartans provided further proof that there is life after Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson. The Associated Press Turnovers give Virginia victory CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The ACC-Big Ten Challenge proved little challenge for No. 21 Virginia last night as the ballhawking Cavaliers forced 23 turnovers and ran away from the Boilermakers for a 98-79 victory. Chris Williams and Donald Hand hand Virginia (4-0) 24 points each as it kept the best start since the 1992-93 season going. The Cavaliers won their first 11 games before splitting their final 20. Purdue (1-2), coming off a 72-69 victory over then-No. 1 Arizona, looked like it was ill-prepared for Virginia's trapping zone press, repeatedly throwing the ball away before getting past half-court. The Cavaliers turned 15 first half turnovers into 17 points en route to a 45-27 lead, then coaxed four more miscues early in the second half. Virginia played at top speed throughout and either drove to the hoop or pounded the ball inside. The Cavaliers scored 22 of their first 32 points in close and had 13 second-chance points to the Boilermakers' 1 in the half. the Boilermakers' 1 in the hait. In one 9 1/2-minute stretch very early in the game, Virginia forced 12 turnovers and outscoed Purdue 28-7. That gave them a 30-12 lead 18-2 before half-time and the Boilermakers never got closer than 13 points. Joe Marshall led Purdue with 19 points, and Rodney Smith had 14. Virginia finished with a 27-6 advantage in points off turnovers and a 19-10 edge in second-chance points. The game marked the first time the schools have ever met in men's basketball, and Purdue dropped to 9-18 against ACC schools. The eyes have it.
