The No. 2 Kansas men's basketball team opened the 1997-98 season in an impressive manner, cruising to a 99-73 win against Santa Clara on Friday night in Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks were led by their All-American tandem of Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce.
LaFrentz led Kansas with 22 points and a career-high 19 rebounds. Pierce had 18 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three blocked shots. The forwards were a combined 16 for 23 from the floor.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said the strong performance related directly to the team's defense, which he had criticized in two exhibition games.
"I'm pleased with our effort tonight," Williams said. "Those first eight or 10 minutes were the most active we've been defensively all year. That helps you get running and gets points on the board, too."
The Jayhawks had a 14-2 lead after three minutes had gone by in the game, converting Bronco mistakes into fast-break opportunities and easy points.
Santa Clara managed to slow the tempo during the rest of the half,
but kansas extended its lead. The Jayhawks led 53-36 at halftime despite problems with turnovers and rebounding.
The Jayhawks committed nine turnovers in the first half. Williams said he was discouraged by some of the wild passes during the game.
"It looked like somebody was looking for Halley's Comet out there tonight, throwing the ball as high as you can," Williams said. "That was not very good, but then you have to give the Santa Clara defense some credit, too."
The Broncos had 14 offensive rebounds. But Kansas extended its 23-21 halftime rebounding margin into a 51-32 advantage by game's end.
The Broncos made several runs late in the game against Kansas' reserves, but the Jayhawks' lead never was challenged.
Pierce, who recorded his 1,000th career point in the first half, said the difference was maintaining intensity for the entire game.
"We didn't want any letups in the second half," Pierce said. "Coach told us to keep up the intensity on defense in the second half. We also needed to do a better job of boxing out, and we did that."
Eric Chenowith contributed to the defensive effort with seven rebounds and two blocked shots. He also had 14 points.
