Kansas rowing faces K-State Saturday
After competing in Des Moines, Iowa; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Austin, Texas; Tulsa, Okla., and Manhattan, the Kansas rowing team will return to the water for their only home regatta of the year. At 11 a.m. on Saturday, the Jayhawks will race against the Kansas State Wildcats at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan.
This is the second time that the Kansas rowing team has met up with Kansas State in a head-to-
head matchup. The first was Nov. 10 in Manhattan. Despite a good showing, Kansas lost by a score of 16-9. However, their three novice boats won their matches, and the varsity boats were only narrowly defeated.
Kansas is coming off a recent loss to Texas in Austin in which they were defeated in all six races. Results were still encouraging, as Texas already competed in four events earlier in the spring while Kansas had not competed in any.

Justin Rose leads after first round of Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Justin Rose has the first round of the Masters down pat.
It's the rest of the tournament he must master.
On a warm, sunny opening day that featured Ian Poulter's hole-in-one, a solid start to Zach Johnson's title defense and Tiger Woods plodding around the course. Rose shot a 4-under 68 that put him atop the leaderboard.
Sound familiar? It should.
Returning to Augusta last year, Rose surged to the front again with a 69 on Thursday, but didn't come close to matching that score the rest of the weekend, settling for a fifth-place tie three strokes behind Johnson.
In 2004, the Englishman led after the first and second rounds but faded to a tie for 22nd.
"I've learned you can't count your chickens too early," said Rose, who won the Order of Merit as the top golfer on the European Tour in 2007. "Obviously, the first round has been great to me here."
On Thursday, he got off to another quick start and was tied for the lead with South African Trevor Immelman.

basketball notes
Who's going, who's staying?
Still no word from Kansas coach Bill Self on the future of juniors Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers and sophomore Darrell Arthur. Self said on Thursday that there was no timeline for the trio to announce if they would be entering the NBA draft. "I think it'll happen pretty quick." Self said.
Self said even if one or more of Kansas' players enter the draft, he hoped they'd take time to research their draft status before hiring an agent. Rush, though, would be ineligible to return if he declares since he declared for the draft last season. College players, who have until April 27 to declare for the NBA draft, can declare for the draft once and return to school if they don't hire an agent.
Back to work
Self said he was excited for Sunday's scheduled parade, because he hadn't quite had the chance to fully enjoy his team's national championship. But first, he's off on the road today to do some recruiting. Self said he thought Kansas' success this past season would help recruiting, but matching the talented squad he assembled this season might be tough.
"But I think we could recruit the same caliber guys," he said.
Special visit
Self got a special visit from senior Russell Robinson on Thursday morning in his office. "You couldn't wipe the smile off his face." Self said.
