CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The people of North Carolina are accustomed to being blown away by tropical storms.
But not one of the 23,287 fans at Charlotte Coliseum last night could have foreseen the destructive force of Hurricane Kansas.
The Jayhawks mauled the second-seeded Indiana Hoosiers 83-65, thrusting themselves into the Southeast regional championship game tomorrow against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Kansas' long-range bombers assailed the Indiana defense in the first half, hitting seven of 13 from behind the three-point stripe. Senior guard Terry Brown hit two three-pointers and sophomore guard Adonis Jordan added another and put Kansas up 16-4 at the 16-29 mark. Two more threes by junior guard Sean Tunstall increased the Jayhawk lead to 26-6 less than three minutes later.
Kansas needed less than four minutes to storm out to a 13-2 lead. That was as close as the Hoosiers would get to the Jayhawks until the final buzer sounded 36 minutes later.
The Kansas defense also came up big in the first 20 minutes, limiting Indiana to only 27 points on 37 percent shooting from the field. The tenacious defensive assault also came from nine first half HSO turnovers.
But the most dangerous weapon Kansas pulled out of its bag of tricks was its rebounding, both on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. At the intermission, the Jayhawks had out-bullied Indiana 28-17 on the boards, including a 15-6 margin on the offensive glass.
"We weren't shooting well, and they had free reign on the boards." Hoosier forward Eric Anderson said. "He drilled us in every phase of the game."
That might have been the understatement of the evening. At half-time, the scoreboard read Kansas 49, Indiana 27.
"The referee came over about five minutes into the game and said there was a screw loose in the floor."
Indiana coach Bobby Knight said. "I said to him, "Then why don't we start this again tomorrow?" I think that was the best suggestion I had in the entire first half."
Kansas continued to pressure the Hoosiers, and took a 24-point lead at 53-29 with an Alonzo Jamson running past than a minute into the second half.
Then, Indiana freshman sensation Damon Bailey decided to take the game into his own hands. During the next five minutes, Bailey scored 12 points, cutting the Jayhawk margin to 16 at 62-46 with 13:18 remaining.
But Kansas would not falter. Although their shots would not come as easily as they did in the first half, the Jayhawks continued to harass Indiana, forcing four misuses in consecutive Indiana possessions. Kansas also would hold Indiana forward Calbert Cheaney, who scored 17 first half points, to only six in the second half.
With the score 71-55 with 5:34 remaining, Indiana began putting the Jayhawks on the free throw line for one-and-one situations. The strategy worked as freshman forward Richard Scott and senior forwards Mark Randall and Mike Maddox would miss each the front end of the one-and-one on three consecutive possessions.
After the game, Kansas coach Roy Williams praised his team's effort on the boards as well as on the defensive end of the floor.
But the Hoosiers would get no closer than 13 as the Jayhawks sank eight of their last 10 free throws to secure the 18 point victory.
"We played a tremendous game defensively and forced them into a lot of turnovers with our pressure," Williams said. "Our big guys also did a great job rebounding and getting us a lot of second-shot opportunities."
Brown led the Jayhawks offensively with 23 points, including 18 in the first half. Tunstall poured in 15 and Johnson added 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Cheaney scored 23 points for Indiana, and Bailey finished the game.
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will meet the No. 1 seed in the Southeast

Rebounds key to'Hawks' victory
Kansas' game plan to overpower Hoosiers on the backboards pays off

Kansas dashed out to a 49-27 halftime lead, mainly because of its total domination of Indiana on the backboards.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. All season,

Williams has impressed upon his
team the importance of rebounding.
At no time was this lesson more appropriate than in last night's 83-65 dismantling of the Indiana Hoosiers.
"We knew going into the game that 'rebounding was going to be a big factor,' senior forward Mark Randall said. "I don't know exactly what the team is going to do, but rebounds played a major part in our jumping out to such a big lead in the
At intermission, Kansas had outrebounded the Hoosiers 28-17, including 15-6 on the offensive end of the floor.
Senior forward Mike Maddox said he thought he knew the reason the Jayhawks controlled the glass as effectively as they did.
"I think it had a lot to do with our jumping ability and great athleticism." Maddox said with a wry smile. "Actually, it's one of the things we thought we could do well against them. They've had as many problems as they have, but this year we have. We thought whoever could control the backboards would win the game, and we were determined to go out and do it."
'They were extremely aggressive on the boards and aggressiveness is a comatrot of confidence.'
Bobby Knight Indiana basketball coach
"they came out very assertive and ready to play." Knight said. "They were extremely aggressive on the boards and aggressiveness is a compatriot of confidence. When you are that aggressive and that determined, good things are going to happen for you."
Indiana coach Bobby Knight said determination played a large part in the Jahayhaws' success on the glass.
Hoosier forward Eric Anderson said the Jayhawks' relentless pursuit of the ball took its toll from the opening moments of the game.
"We got hit on the boards pretty hard," Anderson said. "From the very beginning, they really came out and attacked us while we were kind enough to get in the ball. We didn't get a body on the floor, and they just outmuscled us."
Alonzo Jamison did the most damage for the Jayhawks as he pulled down 10 rebounds, including seven from the offensive glass.
"They weren't blocking out as well as I thought they would." Jamison said, acknowledging the opportunity to crash the boards and get some second-chance points.

Team faces Big Eight series
By Mark Spencer
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball coach Dwayne Bingham knows one of the teams that will qualify for this year's Big Eight Conference post-season tournament.
"I'm putting Kansas in," he said.
"I'm an optimist."
The Jayhawks' post-season quest begins at 7 tonies in Manhattan and continues through the season.
All the Big Eight schools except Colorado, which does not field a team, will play each other in a series of gameweeks with the best teams at the end of the season will play in the Big Eight Tournament in Oklahoma City.
"Obviously, as long as there's a possibility to extend our season, we're going to try and do it," Bingham said.
The Jayhawks narrowly missed the tournament last year. They entered the last series of the season after losing to Missouri in order to finish fourth.
Kansas dropped out of contention
after losing its third game of the series, 1-10 in 10 innings. The Jayhawks finished in fifth place behind Iowa and Iowa State, who tied for fourth.
Entering Big Eight play with a 12-8 record tonight, the Jahawks' competitive level appears stronger. Before entering Big Eight play last year, Kansas was 11-12 against nearly all the same opponents.
"We've been knocking on the door," Bingham said. "I believe we'll make it."
The Jayhawks will face a K-State team that is 16-9 and led by last season's Big Eight Coach of the Year, Mike Clark.
Clark, in his fifth season with K-State, is the Wildcats' winsest baseball coach and led them to a second place conference finish last
He said his team had experienced sporadic pitching this season.
"I think KU's been more consistent with their starters." Clark said. "We need quality innings from our starters."
The Jayhawks will start right-hander Curtis Schmidt (1-2, 5-0 ERA) right-hander Mike Massey (2-0, 3.74 ERA) and left-hander David Meyer (2-1, 3.33 ERA) pitch the doubleheader tomorrow.
ers or we're going to be in trouble."
The Wildcat pitching staff has notched a 5.00 team ERA this season. Kent Hipp (4-1, 1.71 ERA) and Sean Pederson (3-1, 4.50 ERA) have been K-State's leading hurlers.
Clark said that the Jayhawks' improvement had been matched by improvements across the entire league.
“Iowa State’s overall record is poor, but they’ve knocked off a team we’d said. “KU has beaten two ranked teams, and we’ve knocked off three.”
It is important for the Wildcats to start the Big Eight season with victories against the Jayhawks, Clark said.
"With such a balanced league, it's going to be a real dogfight," he said.
Only Bo's doctor knows for sure
The Associated Press
Bo Jackson's future should not be judged by doctors who haven't seen his medical reports, his agent said.
"All of these quacks around the country have not examined Bo's records and have no idea what they're talking about," Richard Woods, Jackson's agent, said yesterday from Mobile, Ala.
Woods said the only person with all of Jackson's medical records regarding his hip injury was Jim Andrews, Jackson's personal physician from
An Alabama medical center where Jackson was examined this week said the two-sport star would be tested again in 30 days. It said it would not comment on Jackson's condition until then.
Birmingham. Ala.
Andrews, who has Roger Clemens, Jack Nicklaus and Charles Barkley among his patients, was not immediately available for comment, but told USA Today in yesterday's editions, "I think it is really hard to make. Maybe it's 20 years dealing with this type of athlete, but I have that intuition."
