MEN'S BASKETBALL
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
'Hawks to compete, relax in Maui
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's basketball team is not on a strictly-business mission this week in Maui, Hawaii.
The Jayhawks want to take home the Maui Invitational crown, but they also want to enjoy their beautiful surroundings in Hawaii.
"It's my favorite scenario ever
for a trip," Kansas coach Roy Williams said before the team left for Hawaii Friday morning. "After I stop coaching, I'll be there every Thanksgiving because I think it's a great tournament."
Williams said he wanted the players to have some free time during the weekend so that they could concentrate on basketball once the tournament began.
Kansas junior guard Kirk Hirn-
hid had not been to Hawaii
before and said he was a little worried about relaxing too much.
"I don't think I'm going to be getting in the water. Seriously, I really don't. I always told myself if I was ever around the ocean I wasn't going to be swimming in it because of all the shark attacks." Hinrich said. "I'm not going to stay out in the sun too long because that takes a lot out of you.
He also had another fear nagging him.
and we're going to need all that energy."
Fellow Iowan Nick Collison is making his second trip to Maui. Two summers ago, Collison and a group of college all-stars played the U.S. Dream Team in an exhibition game there.
"I've already been there once, but I'm excited to just relax some while we're there," Collison said.

Men's team to face Ball State today
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The field in this year's EA Sports Maui Invitational features three teams in the Associated Press Top 25, including No.1 Duke, fifthranked UCLA and No.7 Kansas. Kansas faces Ball State University today in Lahaina, Hawaii.
The Ball State Cardinals were picked to finish second in the Mid-American Conference preseason poll. Ball State finished 18-12 last season with an 11-7 league mark
for a third-place finish in the Mid-
American West Division.
Ball State is led by junior forward Theron Smith, who averaged 16.3 points and 8.1 rebounds last year. He is a preseason pick for the All-Mid-American Conference team.
If Kansas tops Ball State, the Jayhawks will face the winner of the Houston-UCLA game.
The Houston Cougars finished 9-20 last season under first-year coach Ray McCallum. McCallum came to Houston from Ball State.
The Cougars are led by team captain George Williams. The junior forward averaged 13.5 points and 7.3 rebounds last year. Houston returns three other starters. Senior forward Patrick Okafer led the team in rebounding last season with an 8.6 average. He also averaged 10.7 points per game. Senior guard Dominic Smith averaged 12.6 points per game, while junior guard Marcus Oliver averaged 5.9 points and 3.2 rebounds last year.
The Cougars have lost both
their exhibition games this year.
The UCLA Bruins were picked to finish first in the Pacific-10 Conference at Pac-10 Media Day. Junior forward Jason Kapono is a preseason Associated Press second-team All-American. Freshmen Cedric Bozeman is the preseason pick for Pac-10 newcomer of the year. Kapono averaged 17.7 points and 5.7 rebounds last year, while Gadzuric averaged 11.7 points and 8.6 rebounds.
