Rugby is a sport where you need to work as a unit and have everyone working together. You have to be able to look around the field and know what is going to happen. G: What does your family think of you playing rugby? ■ Co-Rec: Slobbarknockers def. The Ballers B (74-46) Super Blazo def. Hawks (56-36) A: At first my mom didn't want to come to a rugby game and see me get hurt; then I convinced my little brother that he should start playing, and now my family comes to watch me. Q: Have you ever made a girl cry on the field? A: I don't think so, but I've yelled at a few girls — on the other team and on my team. A: I think that rugby is better than football and soccer because it combines the hitting of football, and you can kick the ball at anytime. Q: How does rugby compare to football or soccer? You have the aggressiveness of both sports. You have to think on the field, there's always a play to be seen and you have ticed with the guys' team and I thought it would be a really good idea if I did some tackling drills with them. I got the crap beat out of me but it was fun. I think it improved my rugby skills a lot." Jenny Peck Plymouth, Minn., senior to look for the holes to cut through. Q: Exactly how tall are you? A: I'm 5-feet, 11-and-a-half inches. Q: Do you think your height intimidates or attracts quvs? Q: What do you want to do after college? A: No. No and no. ever date someone shorter than you? A: I have no idea. I think it probably intimidates them. Q: Have you dated or would you A: I'm going to probably look into teaching. I'm also thinking about going into the Peace Corps. I'd like to go anywhere in Africa. Q: During the season do you have a chance to get out much? A: Usually after the games there is a tradition where the home team will host the traveling team, whether it's for just pizza, or beer and pizza for those that are of age. During the school year that's pretty much all the going out I do. Q: Have you ever played or scrimmaged with the guys' team? A: A couple years ago I practiced with the guys' team and I thought it would be a really good idea if I did some tackling drills with them. I got the crap beat out of me — but it was fun. I think it improved my rugby skills a lot. Kucera is an Omaha, Neb., junior in journalism. ASSISTANT: Dougherty likes to stay in touch with players In reality, both of them have court seats — just on different ends of the court. Dougherty said that understanding the Jayhawks' personnel was both an advantage and a disadvantage. "Understanding personnel is a big part of a lot of the things you try to do when you prepare for a team," he said. "But in this case, knowing what they are capable of doing is scary." TCU hasn't done anything out of the ordinary to prepare for Kansas on the court, but Dougherty said this was the first time his team would play in a venue as tough as the fieldhouse. Coach Bill Self said that TCU was going to be one of the quickest teams Kansas would face all year. The Horned Frogs are led by point guard Corey Santee, who is averaging almost 14 points per game. Sophomore center Femi Ibikunle is the biggest player on the TCU ros- at. At 6-foot-9, 257 pounds, he will most likely guard Simien. Self said the Horned Frogs would be tough to guard because of their quickness, but Dougherty said he is most concerned about all of the Jayhawks' weapons. "They have more weapons that just Wayne," Dougherty said. "He is a huge part of it, and he anchors the middle, but there are so many areas that they hurt you. We just have to concentrate on coming up with some things that will let us compete." Win or lose, tonight will be a special homecoming for Dougherty. He said he planned to see some of his former players and their parents. A longtime family friend of the Simien's, Wayne Simien said tonight might be the night to prove to Dougherty who the best player to graduate from Leavenworth High School really was.
