Bruins rely on senior guard
By Chris Wristen

NEW YORK — When UCLA steps on the court tonight against Kansas, its hopes of a grand season opening will rest on the shoulders of one man — senior point guard Earl Watson.
which he is proud of.
Although he clearly is not a superhero, given the rich tradition of UCLA basketball, he has managed to have some super accomplishments.
Most notably, he has started every game of his college career and is a preseason All-American nominee. If he starts every game this year, Watson will have started more games than any Bruin,
"It's very special to me," Watson said. "I would take great pride in that. It is hitting me so quick that I don't realize how great it is, but I'm not taking it for granted."
Coach Steve Lavin doesn't take Watson for granted either. He said he had asked for even more out of his team captain.
"Watching him grow and develop during the last four years has been as rewarding as anything I've been involved with in my coaching career," Lavin said. "Still, my expectations are high of Earl, but I think he is capable of shouldering that as a senior."
Lavin said Watson must step up for his team to be successful. But
against Kansas, he will need some of Watson's sidekicks to step up, particularly his post players, led by junior center Dan Gadzuric and sophomore forward Jason Kapono.
Lavin said his big men must step to the front of the stage because of Kansas' dominant post play. Kansas' big men pound the glass, he said.
"We have to stop them by committee, or collectively," Lavin said. "We can't expect any one of our guys to shut down their front line, but by committee, we can play good defense and minimize their size and strength."
Watson said the challenge of Kansas would be tough, but he said
it was a great way to open the season.
"There is no better way to start of the season than by playing the best teams right at the start," Watson said. "You want to have equal balance so you can get better by beating the great teams. I expect to see a little bit of everything in this game."
Lavin said that the stage was set for an exciting season opener.
"The lights are on, it's on TV and it's gonna be a packed house," Lavin said. "It's where you can really accelerate your team. If you can't get excited — as a player or coach — about this game, then I think you've got to check for a pulse."
'Hawk overcomes first-game jitters

When junior guard KC Hilgenkamp suited up in her Jayhawk uniform for last night's game, she would it be a special one. It would be the first time she would play as a Jayhawk.
Not only was it her first game for the Jayhawks, but she was in the starting lineup. It wasn't a big deal to the transfer from Hutchinson County Community College that she started: what mattered was how she played.
Hilgenkamp scored seven points, seven assists and four steals in her debut last night, helping the women's basketball team defeat the Basketball Travelers 69-50.
"I was really impressed that even though we had our first-game jitters and a little bit of miscommunication in the first half, we really seemed to pick it up and fight through what we were going through." Jackson said.
Hilgenkamp said she had first-game jitters like her teammates, but as she eventually was able to relax.
"I think it was first-game jitters for everybody," Hilgenkamp said. "As the game went on, I got back into rhythm."
Jennifer Jackson, senior guard, said she noticed the team's jitters and its effect on the team's performance.
Hilgenkamp said she was pleased with her performance and was able to contribute.
"I was pretty happy," Hilgenkamp said. "I think as the year goes on, I will get more rhythm."
Kansas coach Marian Washington noticed Hilgenkamp's improvement during the game.
"I thought players like KC got better with the time they played on the floor, and that's encouraging," Washington said. "KC started to become more intense and relax more as the game went on."
Hilgenkamp said the exhibition game helped her and her teammates find where they were as a team.
"It also helps you see what you can work on and improve on," she said.
Hilgenkamp chose to play at the University of Kansas for various reasons.
"I've always like KU since I was little." Hilgenkamp said. "I liked the traditions and coach Washington. I have a lot of respect for her."

Kansas volleyball team shutout by Texas Tech
The Kansas volleyball team took a hard fall last night, courtesy of a shutout by Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.
"We struggled out of the gates," said coach Ray Beachard. "Texas Tech really overmatched us. It looked like we were ready to go, but we didn't respond."
Kansas dropped game scores of 15-1, 15-5 and 15-11 at the United Spirit Arena. The Jayhawks fell to 14-11 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12 Conference, while the Red Raiders improved to 21-6 and 9-6. The Jayhawks also lost to the Red Raiders on Sept. 30 in Lawrence in a five-game decision.
Kansas was led by senior outside hitter Amy Myatt, who recorded 11 kills. Sophomore defensive specialist Jamie Morningstar added Kansas' only two service aces.
However, Kansas' bests paled in comparison to Texas Tech's top showings.
Senior outside hitter Colleen Smith used her 6-foot-7 frame and smacked down 20 kills. As a team, the Red Raiders recorded five service aces.
"It took us a game and a half to get organized," Bechard said. "It was disappointing, but we didn't have an answer for them."
The 'Hawks meet Kansas State at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
