KANSAS BASKETBALL
Former Kansas junior guard John Ordrion officially enrolled Jan. 1, 13 at Washburn University in Topeka, thus confirming two months of rumors that he was leaving the University of Kansas.
Order played in 27 games and had
KU basketball player transfers to Washburn
career averages of 0.3 points, 0.4 rebounds and two minutes per game during his twoyear career.
Crider: will play basketball at Washburn
Crider's decision to transfer was based on his desire for more playing time, something
Williams said Crider would receive at Washburn.
"I am very much in support of John Crider and his decision to go to Washburn," Williams said. "I respect (Washburn coach) Bob Chipman very much both as a coach and as a person, and that had a big impact on me in giving John some guidance. John is a marvelous young man and will always be thought of as part of the Jayhawk family. He just desperately wanted to be somewhere where he could play more, and the best place for that to happen for him is at Washburn."
Because Crider played four minutes in Kansas' first exhibition game against the California All-Stars, he lost a year of eligibility and will be a senior at Washburn next year. Crider will appeal that decision and try to regain his junior status.

Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Senior all-American Scott Russell, member of the Jayhawk track and field team, was named the first Big 12 male track athlete of the week in 2001.
Russell, a native of Windsor, Ontario, qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championship during the Missouri Southern Open with a toss of 72-2 1/4 in the weight throw and placed second in the shot put event.
Although he has won the weight throw event ten times during his career, Russell impressed assistant coach Doug Reynolds by winning the Big 12 Conference Track Athlete of the Week honor for the first time
Senior wins award to begin new year
TRACK AND FIELD
"He is working hard and making a lot of changes this season," Reynolds said. "I think it is a great honor but we need to focus on the bigger picture and that is the conference championships."

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
MU and OSU players earn weekly awards
DALLAS — Missouri junior
Clarence Gilbert turned in a Big 12
record scoring game in the
Missouri's 11.2-109 quadruple overtime win against Iowa State.
Gilbert tied the league record with 43 points and was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week. Oklahoma State junior Maurice Baker showed his leadership in two Cowboys' victories.
The guard averaged 18 points, which included a career-high tying 26 against Iowa State. Baker has been named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week for the second time this season. Both honors are selected by a media panel.
Gilbert opened the week scoring 22 points in the Tigers' 82-76 win at
Colorado. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., guard was 9-for-9 from the free throw line against the Buffs as well. Gilbert's 43 points against Iowa State were the most points for an individual in a Big 12 contest as he broke numerous school and league records. His 43 points tied Texas' Reggie Freeman's 43 points against Fresno State in 1996 for the all-game league record.
His output was the fourth-most in Missouri history and the most since Anthony Peeler scored 43 at Kansas in 1992. Gilbert averaged 32.5 points which included 10 three-point field goals and a 21-for-26 effort from the free throw line. He also dished out 11 assists in the two games and had only one turnover.
AMES, Iowa — Brandon Hawkins' departure from the Iowa State basketball team took the other players by surprise.
Hawkins leaves ISU hoping for larger role
Hawkins, who had started the first seven games, met with coach Larry Eustachy late last week. When Eustachy could not guarantee Hawkins a bigger role on the team, he decided to leave, Eustachy said yesterday.
Hawkins played 25 minutes in his last game with the Cyclones, an 80-68 loss at Iowa on Dec. 9. He had played a total of only seven minutes in the two previous games.
"Brandon simply wanted to play a bigger role on this team and there was no room for him to play a bigger role, neither now nor in the future," Eustachy said. "He's a player at this level."
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Ex-player of the year tears knee ligament
college career finished.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — In typical fashion, Tamika Catchings was going full force to the basket. Suddenly she was sprawled on the floor, her
The crowd of 11,643 went silent as team doctors and coach Pat Summitt attended to the team leader of the Tennessee women's basketball team, who was helped off the court and put into a wheelchair.
Voted women's college basketball player of the year last season, Catchings had torn a ligament in her right knee. Tennessee's 66-59 win against No. 21 Mississippi State didn't seem that important any more.
"She fell hard and landed on that knee, but she said she didn't feel anything when she went down but that it was hurting." Summitt said.
"When she came down the floor, I watched her because she plays so hard and really comes in and jump starts and shoots," Summitt said. "I did not see her knee give out."
The coaches had hoped that because Catchings didn't hear or feel a pop, which normally indicates torn ligaments, the injury wasn't serious.
Several hours later last night, the team orthopedist determined Catchings had torn the ACL, ending her season and career at Tennessee.
A surgery date has not been set. Catchings was not available for interviews after the game.
The 6-foot-1 senior from Duncanville, Texas, who finished with a team-leading 17 points and 13 rebounds, left with 5:34 remaining and Tennessee ahead 55-46.
"We lost our best player and leader," Summitt said. "She was injured the way she played the game — all out and hard on every play."

Pretty boring stuff.
By this time, during your first day of school, you're probably sitting in either your history or math class bored out of your mind. Your eyelids are getting heavy as your teacher is blabbing on about syllabi and mandatory attendance and failing grades.
Pretty boring stuff.
So while you have the opportunity, take a second to read this column and find out what we in the sports department have in store for you, our readers, this semester.
First of all, we will continue to cover your favorite Kansas sports teams with the same gusto that we have in the past. We'll be there when both Kansas basketball teams storm into the postseason, we'll be there when the baseball and softball teams start play, and we'll be there for the 2001 Kansas Relays in April. In other words, we'll keep bringing you the sports news that you want to read about.
Other than that, you will also be starting to notice some upgrades
to the sports section as the semester progresses. These are just three new features that you can expect to see in the next couple of weeks:
Flashback If you're like most of us here in the Kansan sports department, you have found yourselves at one time or another trying to rehash the memories of games and events that have occurred in the past.
Want to relive those memories of the 1991 and 1993 Kansas men's basketball Final Four teams? Want to relive the Kansas football team's 1992 and 1995 bowl seasons? Or want to relive any other Kansas sports memory that pops into your mind? The Flashback feature will let you do so every Monday in the Kansan.
Where are they now? This feature will appear in the Kansan starting next Wednesday. The premise behind the feature is simple.
Ever wonder what happened to long-lost Kansas basketball players Calvin Rayford, B.J. Williams, Cedric Hunter, Scooter Barry, Calvin Thompson and Nick Proud? Or ever wonder where in the world former football stars Mark Williams, June Henley and Gilbert Brown have ran off to? We here at the Kansan sports department will attempt to tell you where they have been.
Our worldwide searches will not
be contained just to the basketball and football teams either. We will try to cover every sport possible.
So if you have any information regarding the aforementioned players, or if there are "lost" athletes that pop into your head at any time during the semester, drop us a line at sports@kansan.com. We'll work our hardest to track them down for you.
Athlete-of-the-Week The premise behind this feature is also amazingly simple. The Kansan sports staff will decide on a Kansas athlete who we think performed the best during each week of the semester.
This particular Kansas athlete will be honored for impressive play on the court or field. Feel free to e-mail us with nominations of athletes you would like to see honored and why. The Athlete-of-the-Week will be announced every Friday in the Kansan.
These are just a few of the ideas we have rolling around in our heads. As mentioned countless times before, don't hesitate to e-mail us, call us at 864-4858, or stop by 117 Stauffer-Flint to talk to us. After all, we're here to make your history and math classes that much more bearable.
