LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mark Turgeon, Mark Randall, sabbatical coach Gregg bench as the Jayhawks' season comes to a end. After winning two games, and coach Larry Brown look on with the rest of the Kansas in the NCAA tournament, the Jayhawks lost in the round of sixteen.
LOUISVILLE. Ky. — The Jayhawks' dreams of a second consecutive Final Four appearance ended Thursday with a 70-57 loss to Georgetown in the Southeast Regional Semifinal at Freedom Hall.
In NCAA Final Four competition in New Orleans this weekend, Providence will battle Syracuse, and Indiana will play UNLV.
Men's Basketball
Kansas finished the season with a 25-11 record. That victory total is the fifth-highest in one season by a Kansas basketball team, but the Jayhawks may be thinking more about the season-ending loss to the Hoyas than bout any of the triumphs.
Kansas, seeded fifth in the Southeast Region, entered the game as five-point underdogs against top-seeded Georgetown. But the Jayhawks jumped out to an early 10-4 lead, spurred by eight points from junior forward Danny Manning.
The Hoyas, who came back from a 15-point deficit to beat Ohio State in a second-round game, quickly made up the ground on Kansas behind the outside shooting of guard Reggie Williams and led 34-29 at half.
All Americans Williams and Manning led their teams in first-half scoring. Williams scored 19 points for the Hoyas and Manning put in 17 for the Javahaws.
Georgetown had opened up an eight-point lead early in the second half when Kansas senior guard Mark Turgeon ignited a Jayhawk backwith a three-point basket. After two baskets by forward Chris Piper and a Georgetown time-out, freshman Keith Harris drove the baseline for a lay-up and a 40-39 Kansas lead with 14:49 to play in the game.
But it was the last time the Hoyas would trail. Georgetown buried Kansas with a 14-3 run and played suffocating defense that allowed Manning only one field goal in the second half.
The Jayhawks trailed by nine points with less than 3 minutes to go with Manning covered and no one able to take the shot from the outside. Piper passed up a shot from the baseline and was stripped of the ball by Williams.
Georgetown converted the turnover into a Ron Highsmith dunk, and Kansas fans stood in silence, watching their team's season draw to a painful close.
Kansas
Manning, the only Jayhawk in double figures, finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Hunter, slowed by agnapping ankle injury, added nine points.
Seniors Turgeon and Cedric Hunter left the game to a standing ovation from the Kansas section with 49 seconds left, though Hunter returned a short time later when the Jayhawks pulled to within nine points.
Williams finished with 34 points, including a 16-for-18 performance from the free-throw line. The Hoyas shot 37 free shots and hit 27 of them, 73 percent accuracy from the line.
Kansas hit eight of 16 free throws or 50 percent from the line.
Kansas took its first step in the tournament with a 66-55 victory over Houston on March 13 at the Omi in Atlanta. Freshman Kevin Prichard scored 17 points, 15 of them in the first half, as the Jayhawks overcame an early Houston lead and jumped out to a 34-21 halftime lead.
Georgetown also topped Kansas under the basket, where the Hoyas collected 40 rebounds to the Jayhawks' 28.

Bulldogs defeat KU in tourney
By a Kansan reporter
The Jayhawks' lack of height finally caught up with them.
The women's basketball season came to an end March 14 when the Jayhawks fell to the Georgia Bulls, a ground of the NCAA tournament by No. 37.
Women's Basketball
Georgia's frontline players combined for 46 points while Kansas' was 35.
The Bulldogs two starting forwards were 6-foot-2 and their center was 6-7. Kansas' frontline consisted of 5-10 Shawna Waters, 5-11 Jackie Martin and 6-0 Sand Shaw.
"We tried not to let their size bother us, but obviously it was a factor." Coach Marian Washington said.
The loss broke Kansas' nine-game winning streak. The Jawhawks finished with a 10-9 record.
"Georgia was better than I thought." Washington said. "They had a strong outside game to go along with a strong inside game."
Shooting guard Carla Green scored 20 points on eight-of-eight field goal shooting for the Bulldogs.
Even though the Jayhawks suffered their worst defeat of the season last game, the team accomplished much of that stuff in that few people expected of them.
"We had some adversity in December, but we fought through it and had a very positive experience."
In early January, Kansas had an 11-12 record and were next to last in the Big Eight Conference before turning the season around.
Kansas won its last five conference games and finished in a three-way tie with Kansas State and Missouri. He on to win the Big Eight Tournament.
"In the preseason, we were picked to finish somewhere near the bottom of the conference and we came back to share the regular-season title," she said. "It was one of the most satisfying seasons I've ever had."
For senior guard Evette Ott, the loss to Georgia represented her last game for the Jayhawks. She scored 13 points in her final performance.
"Evette really made some big plays for us in the latter stages of the season and provided us with a lot of leadership." Washington said.
Ott and Tina Dixon are the only players the team will lose.
"We have a solid team coming back next season and with a couple of more players, I think we could enjoy some success," Washington said.
This year's team was dominated by junior players. Waters, Martin, Shaw and Loughrey are all averaged close to 10 points a game.
Washington said the team's
beating coaching the main rea-
sion for winning.
"We had different people come through each night," she said.

Techniques — Non-
Buchanan receives All-America honors
By DIANE FILIPOWSKI
Staff writer
Cliff Rovetto, assistant coach, said Buchanan's fifth-place finish with a throw of 53 feet, $4_{4}$ inches was a record and the high point of the meet.
Shot putter Denise Buchanan was named an All-American at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship on March 13-14 in Oklahoma City, the only Jayhawk to receive the national honor.
The men's team went scoreless for only the third time since 1965 despite the performances of pole vaulters Chris Bohanan and Scott Huffman, who were named All-Americans at last year's meet.
Bohanan finished seventh with a vault of 17-3 and Huffman finished 13th with 16-11. Both had performances below their season bests of 17-9 and 17-6, respectively.
Rick Attig, assistant coach, said Bohanan, who cleared 17-3 on his third attempt, would have tailed for third if he had made that height on his first attempt.
"We made technique changes that we were obviously not ready to make," Attig said.
Other participants for Kansas included Ann O'Connor who finished eighth in the high jump with a jump of 5-10'. Freshman triple jumps Cynthe Rhodes and Yolanda Taylor finished 13th and 17th, respectively, with leaps of 40-6 and 39-6.
Big Eight Conference champion Courtney Hawkins finished ninth in the 60-yard high hurdles in 7.29 seconds and missed qualifying for the finals by .01.
"I have to say that Cynthea and Yolanda were disappointed with their performances," Rovello said, "but only because they are very competitive."
Steve Kueffer, assistant coach, said he thought the men's team could have performed better at nationals, but now it was looking forward to the outdoor season.
The men's and women's team will compete outdoors April 3 to 4 in the Texas Relays.

The Kansas baseball team returns to Quigley Field at 1 p.m. tomorrow to play Washburn after it went 2-6 overall and 2-5 in the Pan American Tournament during spring break.
In the Jayhawks' first game against Miami of Ohio on March 15, Hugh Stanfield broke Kansas' career hit record, 178 held by Joe Heeney, with a home run in his first at bat.

Kansas' overall record is 9-7
Kansas lost the game 14-7 and went on to lose four more games before winning 10-9 against Miami of Ohio on Thursday.
Also attending the tournament were Michigan, St John's and Pan American.
Michigan won the tournament with a 6-1 record, and beat the Jayhawks with a score of 15-3 in
both games.
Kansas' biggest problem throughout the tournament was its pitching.
In the first game against Miami of Ohio, Coach Marty Pattin used four pitchers who combined for 12 walks and struck out five.
Miami of Ohio scored 14 runs on only nine hits.
After losing to Miami of Ohio, Kansas played 13th-ranked Michigan in the first game of the tournament and lost 15-3. Paul Henry suffered the loss that dropped his record to 0-2.
After the narrow defeat, the Jayhawks were shutout by Pan American 8-0.
Kansas then faced St. John's and lost 3-1. The winning run scored on an error by second baseman David Smith.
