If the Kansas Jayhawks are looking for an easy road victory to help ease the pain of their current hectic schedule, Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum probably is not a good place to begin the search.
The Jayhawks, who travel to Ames to meet the Cyclones tonight at 8:08, haven't won there since Feb. 23, 1983.
And during Larry Brown's tenure as Kansas head coach, Iowa State has been tough to play on any floor — including Kansas City's Kemper Arena — where the Cyclones upset the favored Jayhawks in last year's Big Eight Post-Season Tournament.

"Kansas has gotten off to a great start and they are an excellent team," Orr said. "They have their starters back from last year and have been impressive in all their games."
Although Iowa State lost' All-American and All-Big Eight guard Barry Stevens to graduation, returnees such as sophomore forward Jeff Grayer, who is fourth in the conference in scoring with 20.4 points a game, and senior guard Jeff Hornacek, 15.2 points and 6.5 assists a game, have been the big guns for the Cyclones.

Kansas jumps to No.5 in poll
United Press International
NEW YORK — The Kansas Jayhawks, 19-2, used victories over Oklahoma, Missouri and Louisville to move up two places to No. 5 in the weekly UPI Board of Coaches college basketball ratings.
North Carolina, coming off successive weekend victories over nationally ranked teams, was a unanimous choice for No.1 for the first time this season.
The Tar Heels, undefeated in 21 games, beat Georgia Tech and Notre Dame within a 24-hour span and were named the No. 1 team in the country for the ninth consecutive week. North Carolina received 41 first place votes.
Memphis State, the country's only other team from Division 1 with a perfect record, broke through the Atlantic Conference stronghold and moved ahead of Georgia Tech and Duke into the No. 2 position. The Tigers, 19-0, were ranked No. 5 last week.
Despite losing to North Carolina, Georgia Tech, 18-2, rebounded to defeat Duke and barely eged the Blue Devils for the No. 3 spot, Duke.
17-2, dropped two places to No. 4 after splitting a pair of games.
Oklahoma, 19-1, held onto the No. 6 position despite suffering its first loss of the season.
St. John's boosted its record to 19-2 with a pair of victories, including a nail-biting 68-67 triumph over Big East rival Pittsburgh, and advanced one place to No. 7. Michigan, on the other hand, lost to Michigan State in its only outing of the week and dropped four places to No. 8. The Wolverines are 17-2 and both losses have come against Big Ten teams.
Kentucky, 16-2, won two Southeastern Conference games and held onto the No. 9 position, and Syracuse, 15-2, recovered from its mild slump and won a pair of Big East games to advance one place to No.10.
Nevada Las-Vegas, 19-2, won both its games during the week but dropped one place to No. 11.
Georgetown, 15-3, won two Big East outings during the week and remained in the No. 12 spot and Bradley, 20-1, climbed four places to No. 13 after winning a pair of games.
No. 14, and surprisingly, Louisville held onto the No. 15 position despite losing a pair of games and failing to a rather mediocre 11-6.
Texas-EI Paso, 17-3, also won two games and advanced four places to
Indiana, 13-4, Louisiana State, 16-3,

Height helps JV past Highland
The two big men on the Kansas mens' junior varsity basketball team made their presence known on the court last night as they helped carry the Jayhawks over Highland Community College 76-67 in Allen Field House.
By Dawn O'Malley Sports writer
Jeff Johnson, 6-foot-4 sophomore forward, led Kansas with nine rebounds, and 6-6 sophomore center Rodney Hull added eight rebounds and 25 points.
Guard Scooter Barry chipped in with 15 points.
Kansas' junior varsity head coach R.C. Buford said the team defense carried over to offense.
"Everybody played real well," Buford said. "They played hard on defense and got the loose balls we didn't get on Saturday."
Kansas junior varsity players, Kenya Banks, 22, Jeff Johnson, 42, and Scooter Barry, 10, fought for a rebound with Highland's Stan Pepek last night at Allen Field House. Johnson led the junior varsity team with nine rebounds.
Buford attributed the 86-76 loss to Fratt Junior College to poor rebounding by KU.
Kansas maintained a tough physical man-to-man defense which caused many of Highland's 17 turnovers.
At the end of the first half, Kansas trailed Highland 31-25. But Kansas rallied early in the second half and took command when Hull made two free throws to pull Kansas ahead 48-47.
Kansas took advantage of Highland turnovers, and converted them into points in the second half.
During the rally, while Kansas was on defense, Hull came up with a loose ball after a scramble. He

scheduled game with Northwestern on Sunday, will play at Ohio State in Minneapolis on Thursday night.
Kenneth Keller, who had considered canceling the rest of the season, said there would be changes in the athletic program. He said the school would place greater emphasis on recruiting players with good character and that the university would set up a counseling program for the victims and perpetrators of sexual assault.
Jim Dutcher resigned as coach after the three players were arrested in Madison, Wis., after a game Thursday night.
that says
In Madison yesterday, formal charges of sexual assault were brought against the players. Mitchell Lee was charged with one count of first-degree sexual assault and two counts of second-degree sexual assault.
Kevin Smith was charged with one count each of first-degree sexual assault and one of second-degree sexual assault, while George Williams was charged with one count of second-degree sexual assault.
If convicted of a first-degree charge, the players face a maximum of 20 years in prison: The second-degree count is punishable by a maximum 10-year prison term and fine of $10,000.
Dutcher said he reminded his players every day for years that they represented the university and needed to uphold the name on the front of their jerseys.
Dutcher said canceling the rest of the season would be committing athletic suicide. Athletic Director Paul Giel said it could affect Minnesota's membership in the Big 10 Conference and would cancel arena and television income for other universities as well as Minnesota.
Fans weather chill to greet the Bears
United Press International
CHIICAGO — Hundreds of thousands of victory-starved Chicago Bears fans braved biting cold and frosty winds yesterday to welcome home their Super Bowl champions and to celebrate the city's first big sports title in 23 years.
An estimated 500,000 fans, clad in Arctic weather gear, patiently waited during a 90-minute delay for the start of a ticker-tape parade along the LaSalle Street financial district and a rally at Daley Plaza, which was renamed "Bear Plaza" during the Bears' championship season.
Even the 5-degree temperature and ice northerly winds that dropped the wind-chill factor to 31 degrees below zero couldn't keep Bears' fans from celebrating the moment the city had been waiting for since the pre-Super Bowl era, when the Bears won the NFL title.
Signs saying "We're warm, Go Bears" could be seen on signposts along the parade route. Fans barked their approval with the team that made barking famous after the Bears' defensive players revealed they sometimes woofed at their opponents to psyche themselves up.
More than 10 tons of shredded paper showered on the Bears during the ticker-tape parade, the first held in Chicago since 1981
them here. Chartered buses, preceded by mounted police, snaked their way through the financial district as fans clung to limp posts, leaned out of windows and huddled on the street chanting, "We're No. 1!" and "Let's Go Bear."
The festivities were delayed because the Bears' plane from New Orleans landed at 2:45 p.m. at O'Hare Airport, about 90 minutes later than scheduled.
when the city saluted the space shuttle astronauts as well as the champion Chicago Sting of the now disbanded North American Soccer League.
Several of the club's biggest stars had to miss the homecoming because of Pro Bowl commitments in Hawaii. The absent Bears included NFL superstar Walter Payton, Super Bowl MVP Richard Dent, quarterback Jim McMahon and defensive standouts Mike Singletary, Dan Hampton and Otis Wilson.
Duke whips Harvard; Georgetown wins
Mayor Harold Washington, team president Mike McCaskey, Bears' speedster Wille Gault and rookie kicker Kevin Butler joined the throng of supporters for the 15-minute rally at Bears Plaza, which only one day before played host to some 1,000 fans who watched the Bears destroy the New England Patriots 46-10 at New Orleans in the most lopsided Super Bowl.
Only the weather threatened to force the cancellation of the festivities for the Bears. But the city decided against alternatives that included holding an indoor rally, said Lois Weisberg, director of the mayor's office of special events.
A giant television screen, which beamed Sunday's game to fans huddled together to fight off the cold and winds whipping around downtown office buildings, was used Monday to broadcast the Bears' reception.
"We are the Super Bowl champs," McCaskey told the crowd. "Woof, woof, yes."

"This is just a stop. We're going to Pasadena next year," said Butler, referring to the site of Super Bowl XXI.
