SOFTBALL
Season depends on team's performance in tournament
Kansas softball will enter the Big 12 Tournament if it wins a play-in game against the Texas Tech Lady Raiders.
Today's game is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. in Oklahoma City, Okla. With a victory over the Raiders, the Jayhawks will advance to the double-elimination portion of the tournament and face Texas A&M.
If Kansas falls to Texas Tech, its season will be over. The two teams last met on by scores of 2-1 and 4-1. The Raiders have the worst record in the Big 12.
Going into the tournament they are 22-35, including just 2-16 in the Big 12. Kansas, on the other hand, owns a 31-26-1 record, and has a 7-11 conference mark.
Texas A&M, though, goes into tournament play with the second best record in the conference. The Aggies are 31-18 and 13-3 in the conference.
Kansas lost both of its regular season games against A&M, 8-0 and 7-3 in College Station, Texas.
If Kansas advances, its game against A&M would take place immediately following its game against Texas Tech.
Both of today's games will be available via LiveStats, which are accessible from www.kuathletics.com. Lawrence residents can also tune into ESPN Radio at 1320 AM.

The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coach Quin Snyder apologized yesterday for his mistakes as the NCAA alleged scores of rule violations by the Missouri basketball program, including a cash payment from an assistant coach to troubled former player Ricky Clemons.
An athletic department source told The Associated Press that one of Snyder's assistants would resign, and a newspaper reported a second would follow.
The NCAA said Missouri's basketball program didn't "adequately monitor" for rules compliance. And it said a member of the athletic staff, whose named was redacted by the school from NCAA documents provided to reporters, "failed at all times to maintain an environment" of compliance with rules from 1999 through last year.
The NCAA's list of formal allegations didn't include a charge known as "lack of institutional control," which can yield severe punishment.
In its 19-page list of allegations, the NCAA laid out 42 examples of violations and some of those covered multiple alleged offenses.
For example, the NCAA alleged that
10 coaches affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Union or other teams were purchased meals on more than 30 occasions in violation of the rules.
It said a department staffer who paid for the meals "intentionally misrepresented" the names of those being treated when submitting receipts for reimbursement.
The NCAA' allegations included rule violations between 1999-03 for providing meals and transportation for current athletes and recruits and impermissible contacts with recruits.
contactss with recent sources familiar with the unreducted NCAA report told The Associated Press that Snyder's top assistant, Tony Harvey, was accused of providing the $250 to Clemons, who played a single season as point guard before being booted from the team last summer amid personal legal troubles.
Harvey has denied giving players money. Snyder has previously denied that any coaches gave players cash. But yesterday, Snyder said he couldn't comment because of confidentiality of the NCAA investigation.
NCAA investigation. In a television interview with HBO taped Feb. 21, Clemons replied "yes"when asked whether he had been paid by coaches at Missouri.
