The Illini tossed and out-tussled the Kansas front line and rendered Kansas center Eric Chenowith and forward Drew Gooden virtually helpless at times. Entry passes were batted down and Gooden had four turnovers, partially thanks to Illinois' 11 steals. Chenowith played just 22 minutes and was held scoreless in his final game as a Javhawk.
The more physical Fighting Illini manhandled and outmuscled the Kansas front for a 36-24 scoring advantage in the paint. Meanwhile, starters Brian Cook, Marcus Griffin and reserve Damir Krupalija all fouled out and Robert Archibald had four fouls for Illinois' front line.
"They were getting good pressure on the ball because they're a strong team and they're athletic." Collison said. "They were just making it hard for us to get the ball where we wanted."
By the time the Jayhawks regained their composure, they were down by 14 points and it was almost too late. They closed the gap to six points for much of

the second half, but Frank Williams and Lucas Johnson continually answered Kansas' charges with three-pointers.
Griffin and Johnson each had intentional fouls in the final minutes, but Kansas never capitalized. Collison missed all four throws, and the 'Hawks didn't score on the ensuing possessions either and were soon bumped from the NCAA Tournament.
"We're extremely disappointed," Roy Williams said. "It's been a great group to be involved with from day one, but it didn't work out the way we wanted to tonight."

Seniors Eric Chenowith and Kenny Gregory played their final games as Jayhawks on Friday, Did Drew Gooden, too?
Gooden may be gone for good
The sophomore forward said Friday that he was not sure whether he would leave Kansas for the NBA after leading the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding with 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game as a sophomore.
"I'll have to talk it over with my family and with Coach (Roy) Williams and see (what my draft stock is)." Gooden said. "I'll set up a press conference with sports information in a week or two and make an announcement."

Training helps Kansas defeat Texas at opener

Although many students left town as soon as they could with the start of spring break, the Kansas women's rowing team had to wait until Saturday for their first chance to get out of Lawrence.
After spending March 17-21 completing its annual spring training session in Lawrence, the team headed south to square off with Texas at Town Lake in Austin.
The Jayhawks put in a solid performance in their opening regatta of the 2001 season, defeating the Longhorns in four of the seven races.
The First Novice Eight won their race with a time of 6 minutes, 51.3 seconds, while the Second Varsity Eight A team won with a 7.01.1 time. The Jayhawks also won in the Varsity Four with a 7:46.2, and in the Novice Four A with a 9:00.2.
Texas, however, took the First Varsity Eight race and defeated the Jayhawks in the Second Novice Eight and the Novice Four B races as well.
Coach Rob Catloth said he thought the regatta went well and that he was pleased with the team's performance in
the majority of the races.
"Being our season opener, I think it was a good race," he said. "I'd say that we rowed well as a whole, and we saw a lot of good things."
However, the fact that the First Varsity Eight failed to win their race seemed to dampen the overall feeling of victory.
"I was disappointed with the First Varsity Eight," Catthoth said. "I expected a better showing out of them. They'll have to race better and faster than they did today."
Assistant coach Heather Gavin acknowledged the sub par performance but insisted that with the youth and potential of that boat, such outputs will quickly become things of the past.
"We know we've got the speed and power in the First Varsity Eight boat, we've just got to race our ability on race day," she said. "That boat is very young, though, and we know that it will only get better as the season progresses."
The Jayhawks will now turn their attention to preparing for their return to the water this Saturday. The team will host the Jayhawk Invitational, which will include Kansas State, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts and Tulsa in two-day event on the Kansas River.
