UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
AYCOCK: Kansas' humble star
Continued from Page 1B.
"She gives her heart," said Kansas junior guard Charisse Sampson. "She gives everything she can."
Aycock has had to do just that, being the lone senior on a roster dominated by four freshmen, four sophomores and two junior-college transfers. Much of the team's success in this 20-10 season can be attributed to Aycock.
"She has really done everything I have asked her to do in trying to
help this young club stay together," Washington said. "Angela Aycock has been a very important person to this program."
Aycock said for the past three years the squads have been young. So even as a freshman and sophomore, Aycock was asked to take a leadership role, which put a tremendous amount of pressure on her.
This year, Aycock said she felt much more comfortable in her role as a team leader.
"It hasn't been hard for me
because I've been able to speak my heart," she said. "We've been able to relate to each other."
One thing Aycock has been stressing to her teammates all year is to have fun. It's not unusual to see high fives, group huddles and smiles. A bright smile from Aycock is usually present, even after a Kansas loss.
"Angie's the first one to say, 'Guy, don't get down. Let's get up.' Trapp said. "That's just the person that she is."
"She never worries about herself.
Veteran coaches eager for first matchup
The Associated Press
On Friday, their teams will play for the first time. But it isn't a matchup between the two coaches.
"It's like I told our squad," Stewart said. "It's between the players. The coaches should be a lesser, in fact insignificant, part of it."
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Bob Knight and Norm Stewart are good friends. They've coached a combined 64 years and have won exactly the same number of games.
Knight's Indiana Hoosiers (19-11) play Stewart's Missouri Tigers (19-8) in the first round of the NCAA West Regional at Boise, Idaho, on Friday night. The two schools
haven't met in basketball since 1969, two years before Knight arrived at Indiana.
Knight, who has added three NCAA national championship banners to the two hanging in Assembly Hall, called Missouri a very tough-minded team.
Stewart is in his 34th year as a colleague coach, his 28th at Missouri. Knight is in his 24th year at Indiana and 30th overall. Both coaches have won 659 games.
"Norm Stewart is a great friend of mine," he said. "He has had a great record at Missouri with a lot of very good basketball teams.
"This one plays essentially the way all of his teams have played. It's a tough defensive team, a physical team with a good combination of offensive abilities and a very good inside man."
The Hoosiers, who have won six of their past eight games, are seeded ninth; Missouri, which has lost five of six, is seeded eighth.
The top concern for the Tigers is stopping Indiana forward Alan Henderson, who scored 35 points Sunday against Iowa and was named first-tier All-Big Ten on Monday.
"Covering Alan Henderson has been a problem for a lot of people for a long time, so we expect to have trouble," Stewart said. "He can face up from 15 to 17 feet and put the ball in the hole."

Recently, we talked with Commerce Board Members about the changes at Commerce Bank, their president, Jerry Samp and their vision for the future of Lawrence.
Joe Bauman Teaches Us About Lawrence
As Dean of the University of Kansas Business School, Joe Bauman helps thousands of students become the visionaries and business leaders of tomorrow.
Joe believes business students need the liberal arts curriculum the Business School provides. As he says, "People need a
"Lawrence is a great place to live. It's easy to get around.It's safe and people here have a reliable work ethic."
broad education because we need to be trained as critical thinkers who understand why, not just how." Evidently, his mission has been a success the University of Kansas Business School is currently considered one of the finest schools in the nation.
Like many faculty members, Joe Bauman belongs to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. People look to him for advice on issues facing local businesses.
Many of the business school students Joe has taken under his wing also participate in the community. They provide support for local small businesses under the direction of the Small Business Development Center. Some also participate in the Kansas Innovation Center—a corporation that helps guide start-up businesses. As Joe explains, "KIC chooses the most promising businesses and helps them incubate. That means supporting them so they can work together and share a wide
range of services. Interns from the School of Business will be key to the organization and the success of those ventures."
Joe understands the role of students in Lawrence, because he also graduated from the University of Kansas. After spending many successful years with IBM, he returned to work in Lawrence. Joe says it's simple, "Lawrence is a great place to live. It's easy to get around. It's safe and people here have a reliable work ethic. The University also provides a tremendous resource for sports, arts and music."
Joe belongs to the Commerce Board of Directors because we value his varied and insightful perspective.
"As a bank director, I'm able to learn about the community the economic environment and I get a better feel of where the stress points are."
As for the role of Jerry Samp, President of Commerce Bank, Joe feels, "A bank should have an impact on the life of a community. And I believe Commerce Bank and Commerce Bankers are solid citizens of Lawrence."
That's something we can all learn to appreciate.
