In five tournaments this spring season, Kansas has three top five finishes including a tie for first in the Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Ariz. On Monday, Kansas will tee off in its final tournament of the season before the Big 12 Championship. The Jayhawks know they have to play well this week and finish strong if they are to have any shot at their biggest goal of the season, making the NCAA regionals.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
The absence of junior Nate Barbee — Barbee will not play this week and is being rested for the Big 12 Championship. In 10 events this year, Barbee has finished in
the top five in eight, Including a first place finish at the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence back in September. Barbee will certainly be missed as he was just recently
Barbee
named one of the top 25 college golfers in the country by Golfstat Cup Rankings.
"This is a great accomplishment
for Nate and nobody deserves it more or works harder," coach Kit Grove said.
The leadership of senior Bryan Hackenberg — Hackenberg, along with Barbee led the Jayhawks all the way from seventh to fourth place in just one round last week at the Diet Pepsi Shocker Classic.
Hackenberg broke out of his mini-spring slump to shoot a 74,77 and a 72 and secured a top-10 finish individually. Hackenberg has a lot of faith in
his team heading into this tournament.

"If we all pull together I think we can win this one." Hackenberg said.
The emergence of freshman Dan Waite — Playing in his first action this spring, Waite has already
solidified himself as one of the top scorers for the Jayhawks. In Kansas' last two events, Waite finished in the top 20 individually.
"Dan has really been playing lately and that is definitely building his confidence, Grove said

U.S. Junior Team beats world team
PORTLAND, Ore. — North Carolina-bound Harrison Barnes scored 27 points and the U.S.Junior National Select Team beat a team of young international players 101-97 at the Nike Hoop Summit on Saturday night.
Barnes, a 6-foot-8 guard from Ames (lowa) High School, hit a key 3-pointer that put Team USA up 94-92 with just over a minute left — after trailing by 74-62 going into the fourth quarter.
Although Canadian Cory Joseph's layup tied it at 94, the world team could not pull back ahead.
Enes Kanter, a 6-foot-10 center from Turkey who is committed to play for Kentucky, had 34 points and 13 rebounds. Kanter surpassed the Hoop Summit world team record of
33 points set by Dirk Nowitzki in 1998.
"I played with my team," said Kanter, who is still working on his English. "I had 34 points because of my team."
The U.S. team is part of USA Basketball's development program and coached by Bob Cimmino of Mount Vernon High School in New York.
Last year's team, which included such players as Kentucky's John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, fell to the world team 97-89 in the Hoop Summit.
Seven former Hoop Summit players were among the top 20 draft picks in last year's NBA draft. Overall, 53 former Team USA and 15 former world players were on current NBA rosters.
On the international side, the game is a showcase for future Olympians.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Florida starts a new era without Tim Tebow
GAINESVILLE. Fla. _ Here's when it sinks in that Tim Tebow is gone and he isn't coming back. It's when the new backup quarterback for Florida refers to that bygone era as "back in the day."
years ago.
On Saturday, the Gators held their first spring scrimmage without Tebow in four years. An estimated crowd of 51,500 showed up to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to welcome in the new starting quarterback, John Brantley, and welcome back coach Urban Meyer. Meyer and his wife, Shelley, were presented honorary degrees at halftime. Brantley played well in his debut as a starter.
But a true freshman quarterback stole the show. When has that ever happened here? Try four
Tebow-lite made his debut Saturday. His name is Trey Burton, a 6-2, 225-pounder from Venice, Fla. and he had a great day. Passing: 12 of 18 for 120 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Rushing: 123 yards on 10 carries and two touchdowns.
Burton had a 76-yard run in the second quarter during a threeplay, 95-yard scoring drive. It was the highlight of the spring game. After the game, Burton was asked if he likes running the ball.
"I wouldn't want to do anything else," said Burton, who runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash.
And the play that went for 76 yards?
"It's one of the plays they had Tebow running back in the day," Burton said.
If Tebow is a back-in-the-day quarterback, then Burton is a throwback. Get to know him now and appreciate his performance Saturday. He likely won't put up those kind of numbers until next spring and, barring injury to Brantley, won't be the starter for two more years.
"Coach has done an awesome job with me." Burton said of UF quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler. "They don't give me too much. They know exactly how much to give me, and I'm going to do the best I can to get this whole playbook in this summer."
The first-string offense, which played against the first-team defense, won the scrimmage 27-24. Brantley was 15 of 19 for 201 vards and two touchdowns.
Carl Moore, a rising fifth-year senior, led all receivers with five
receptions for 102 yards and a score. Receiver Frankie Hammond Jr., who will be a redshirt sophomore this fall, had four receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown. Omarius Hines and T.J. Lawrence
_ also redshirt sophomore receivers _ had one touchdown catch apiece.
"People have been talking about our receivers not being as good as last year's or our defense not being as good as last year's," Brantley said. "I think that's what we want to prove, we're not going to miss anything."
Summer workouts with strength coach Mickey Marotti and his staff begin Monday. The coaching staff will begin recruiting in earnest for 2011. As for Meyer, his role this summer is unknown.
Unlike his previous summers as UF coach, Meyer will not attend
booster club meetings, with assistant head coach Steve Addazio filling in. Delegating booster club obligations is the latest step in an ongoing process of limiting Meyer's workload and stress. He met reporters only three times this spring and took a medical leave of absence after the Sugar Bowl in January.
"I just did some research on my own, and sports information director Steve McClain and the administration, we did some research on what other places do and the focus is on recruiting, our players, our team and obviously raising my children and the coaches raising their children and doing it the right way," Meyer said. "So if that takes away from other stuff, that's got to happen."

Ohio State player makes recoverv
LOS ANGELES YouTube offers the cringe-inducing footage: Ohio State star Evan Turner takes off for a two-handed slam and awkwardly lands flat-backed on the hardwood, breaking bones in his spine.
"It was horrible," he said of his December injury against Eastern Michigan. "I couldn't move. But the worst thing was, I knew I was going to miss some games."
He missed a month's worth but came back to lead the Buckeyes to the Big Ten regular-season and conference championships, as well as the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.
