  at Nebraska, a team he once played for.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

— KU Athletics
Win offers hope for next year
MORNING BREW
Kansas finally won one. The stands were about halfway empty when it happened, but it was what students were talking about for the next few days. And that is a good sign for Turner Gill.
Gill took a job where he was expected to win. His predecessor brought KU to the Orange Bowl. And when the guy who hired him took an early exit, it's probably safe to say that Gill was a little worried.
For now Gill can take that sigh of relief. This win, even if it is against the worst team in the Big 12, should also win Gill some time.
He's also won himself a little support from the fans. When I walked to class on Monday, phrases such as "I can't believe I left" were echoing through the hallway.
BY SAM ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com
BELIEVING IS ACHIEVING
More than anything else, this win signifies a revival of faith in Gill and his mantra that pure belief might be enough to overcome any obstacle. I know that there are even students thinking, way in the back of their minds, "Wouldn't it be great if we beat Nebraska?"
Kansas into a losing spiral, this Colorado game could be the one that hurdles Kansas to success. If you listen to him and the players you can tell they believe that they can do anything, but then again, what are they supposed to say? However, crazier things have happened.
Is this Kansas' Chiefs-Broncos game, an inconsequential game toward the end of the season foreshadowing a better following fall? I think Gill and his staff would hope so.
BIG BROTHER EXAMPLE
If Gill has found some magic formula — and I'm not saying he has — this will be the game that turned his team around. Just as the Colorado game last year pushed
Despite their tough losses this season, the Chiefs are winning games and look like they have a pretty good shot at the playoffs. No one really had faith in their abilities. I was at training camp talking to the fans and I don't think anyone expected
the Chiefs' level of success. Maybe Kansas can somehow pull off that kind of turnaround.
REALISM
This game will not get Kansas into a bowl game. It probably won't be the beginning of any great winning streak, because they have Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Missouri lined up for the rest of the season. But it does give the team a little jolt of self-confidence.
It did distract the Kansas faithful from basketball, even if it was just for 11 minutes of the football game.

Syracuse recovers from last year's loss
Chris Johnson led Le Moyne with 23 points and Nate Champion had nine.
Kris Joseph had 12 for Syracuse, and Brandon Triche and Mookie Jones each had nine.
It was the first and only exhibition game for the Dolphins, who host Queens in their regular-season opener on Saturday. Le Moyne was picked to finish 13th in the Northeast-10 Conference in the preseason coaches poll.
NCAA BASKETBALL
It was the second and final tuneup for the Orange, who open the season at home against Northern Iowa on Friday night, and it atoned for an embarrassing preseason loss a year ago to the Dolphins.
Joseph, Southerland, and Jones each hit two from beyond the arc as Syracuse made 6 of 10.
The Orange opened the second half with a 14-0 spurt. Fab Melo's block down low sent the Orange on a fast break that Triche finished with a layup and Jardine set up Joseph for a two-handed slam dunk for a 55-25 lead at 16:36.
Southerland's second 3 made it 40-23 with 1:48 left as Syracuse gained a 41-25 halftime lead.
After Johnson's 3 from the right corner moved Le Moyne within 27-21 with 6:57 left, Southerland swished a 3 from the left side and Jones hit another from the left corner to key a 10-0 run.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Scoop Jardine, James Southerland and Dion Waiters each had 13 points and No. 10 Syracuse hit 11 of 16 from beyond the arc to beat Division II Le Moyne 91-48 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim started the same five as he did a week ago in the Orange's first preseason game: Jardine, Rick Jackson, Joseph, Triche, and the 7-foot Melo at center.
Syracuse and Le Moyne have played six times during the regular season with the Orange winning all six at home. Following the loss, Syracuse opened the season with 13 straight victories and made it to No.1 in the Top 25 by season's end.
Despite a disciplined performance by the Dolphins, who returned two starters from last season's squad that went 18-10, Syracuse assumed control with a barrage of 3-pointers in the first half.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
High expectations excite KSU team
MANHATTAN — This is quite a change for Kansas State, and quite welcome.
Johnson, Le Moyne's leading returning scorer, hit the game-winning 3 in the closing seconds that beat the Orange 82-79 a year ago. There was no chance of anything like that happening again on this night.
"We're excited. We've made progress every year we've been here," said Martin, whose Wildcats have their highest-ever preseason ranking at No. 3. "We look forward to trying to do the same this year."
Do not be fooled into thinking the loss of three starters from an Elite Eight squad will necessarily signal a downturn. Along with Pullen, a high-scoring playmaker also known for his leadership, the Wildcats return 6-foot-8 Curtis Kelly, who averaged almost 12 points and seven rebounds per game last year, and highly touted 6-foot-9 sophomore Wally Judge.
Right to say senior point guard Jacob Pullen is All-America timber. Right to predict Kansas State will be the best team in the Big 12. And correct in proclaiming that Frank Martin's program has turned the corner, and a onceproud basketball school has rejoined the elite.
Judge's somewhat disappointing freshman season may have been due to a congenital spinal condition which was corrected in surgery over the summer.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Instead of setting out to prove all the experts wrong, as they've been doing for about 20 lackluster years, these Wildcats want fervently to show they are right.
Added to the mix are experienced, accomplished backups such as 6-foot-7 Jamar Samuels, and a 6-foot-10 wide-body transfer named Freddy Asprilla who will provide the inside muscle to a team that fell one win shy of last year's Final Four.
Also adding to Kansas State's optimism is the apparent emergence of Rodney McGruder, a 6-foot-5 sophomore shooting guard who made all five of his 3-point attempts and scored 18 points in an exhibition game.

Martin insists he's not worried that great expectations will put a drag on his team. The top rung of the ladder is what he's been working toward since taking over from Bob Huggins in 2006.
"It's all about winning," he said. "But the importance should be on all the things that happen before the game. The experiences, the conversations, the practice time, the preparation, the weight room sessions. Everything that takes place before the game. You either prepare to go win that game or you don't."
THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS
Putten has a pithy way of summing up the Wildcats.
"We're built it," he said.
"We're legit," he said.
