Wildcat's pressure defense ends Jayhawk run
LEXINGTON, Ky. — There were a couple of good reasons that Kentucky beat the Kansas basketball team 88-71 Saturday, Kansas coach Roy Williams said, and the top one was Kentucky's basketball team.

Men's Basketball
"You have to give credit to the other team," he said. "They looked more intense. Kentucky shut us out."
The other reason is that Kansas, 3, 2, did not score during a seven-minute stretch late in the second half.
"We lost our poise for seven minutes there, and the way they were playing, you can't do that," he said, because "they had their defense picked up a notch."
Kansas jumped to a 9-2 lead in the first 5:30 with an 18-foot jumper by guard Adonis Jordan
Then the 24,175 Kentucky fans at the game got into the act. The crowd, the seventh-largest in Rupp Arena's 15-year history, roared so loudly that it was difficult to hear the referees' whistles.
Kentucky, 4.0, used a pressure defense to force 14 turnovers by halftime. Williams said a failure to shoot shots hurt Kansas in the first half.
Kansas 14 turnovers, coupled with three steals by Kentucky, propelled the Wildcats to a 46-34 lead at half-time.
"We practiced all week to be ready for the pressure, but we couldn't simulate the pressure of the game," he said. "When you face pressure, you know that there will be some turnovers and, as a trade-off, some easy layups. We missed three straight layups, and that will hurt you."
Kansas emerged from the break playing inspired basketball.
Williams said he told the team that it needed to improve its rebounding. Kentucky held a 22-21 rebounding
Whatever he told them, it worked.
Kansas outscored Kentucky 28-17 in the first 10:00 of the half and pulled to a one-point deficit. 63-62
edge at the end of the first half.
Kentucky scored 19 consecutive points during the next seven minutes and took an 82-62 lead.
Kentucky coach Rick Pitton called his third timeout of the half, and Williams said Kentucky reclaimed the momentum after the timeout.
"I'm sure he'd like to bottle up that speech," Williams said, "because when they came out, they were a little more intense."
"We ran every defensive set we had, and nothing worked." Williams said. "Then the crowd got into it, and we just kept tme the tide. Those seven minutes seemed like an eternity."
Kansas scored nine of the final 15 points, but it wasn't enough.
Forward Alonzo Jamison lised the Jayhaws with 14 points, scoring on six of nine field goal attempts. Forward Mark Randall scored 12 points, and Pitino that fact reflected well on Wildcats' defense.
"I had nightmares all week about Mark Randall in the low post," Pittoon said. "That was the best defensive performance I have ever seen. Last year, even UNLV couldn't stop him, and we did tonight."
"We just didn't execute," he said. "We don't worry about what the other team is doing, we just worry about the others." We know that things that we know we can do.
Randall said the loss reflected more what Kansas didn't do than what Kentucky did.
The other Kansas player to score in double digits was Terry Brown, who scored 11 points. Brown hit three of nine three-point attempts.
Williams said he wasn't surprised by Woods' scoring.
Kentucky was led by guard Sean Woods, who scored 29 points
"We made a decision to really do a great job on their three-point shooters and try to contain Woods," he said. "If you look at the percentages,
he was the one kid who didn't shot he was. He likes to drive in to 10-12 feet and pass off, and this time he had to shoot. I told him after the game that he decided. His decision. He would have to be the one to beat us, and by golly, he did."
The other half of the plan worked, however, as Kentucky hit only three of 16 three-point attempts.
"Our teams are very similar," said Pitino, whose team is ineligible for NCAA tournament play this season because of recruiting violations. "We can't be heard from, but Kansas will."

LA must win to keep pace in AFC West
The Associated Press
PONTIAC, Mich. — The Los Angeles Raiders, who play is perhaps the epitome of smash-mouth high-tech Detroit Lions a little envy.
When the Lions opted for the run-and-shoot offense last year, it resulted in a lot of basic behemoths being replaced by a bunch of snurfs. The Raiders, like most NFL teams, have hung with the big guys.
"The they get right up in your face." Lions quarterback Rodney Peele said. "The Raiders make you accept the challenge."
The Lions (4-8) host the Raiders (8-4) tonight in the Silverdome.
The Raders, battling the Kansas City Chiefs for the lead in the AFC West, are an NFL-best 28-6-1 in Monday night games, 6-0 against NFC Central teams, including a 24-3 win against the Lions in 1984. The Lions are 7-7-1 in Monday night games.
"The Raiders are a great football team." Detroit coach Wayne Fontes says. They may be the most physical footballs in the country. The players emulate their coach and
the type of player he was and the type of Raider teams he played on."
Raiders coach Art Shell said that was no accident. Shell, one of the greatest offensive tackles in pro football, has years in the trenches for the Raiders.
"We take pride in our Monday-night record," said Shell, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "We know that we can do on national television.
"When I played, we really looked forward to Monday night football. You didn't want to look bad. You didn't want to look bad. We were watching around the country."
This season the Raiders got off to a quick start, winning six of their first seven games. They've lost three of five since then, but the games were all close, and the Raiders showed the grit of some of those old squads Shell played on they beat the Broncos 23-20 in Denver last week.
Kansas track members win 13 events at meet
"They're getting there," Shell said. "I've told them all along how good they are. It's a matter of them getting it all together and believing it themselves. There's a lot of talent on this team."

Members of the Kansas women's and men's track teams together won 13 events in the KU All-Comers track day at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
The Jayhawks competed unattached in the meet, and team scores were not tabulated
The Kansas women dominated their events, winning half of the meet's 14 events. Among the event winners was Cathy Palacios, who won the mile with a time of 5 minutes, 12 seconds.
"It was a fun meet, very relaxing." Palacies said. "We just wanted to see where we were at this stage of the year.
On the men's side, six of the six event victories went to Kansas. The Jayhawks were particularly strong in the distance races as they cap the 800-meter run in the 800, 300, and 1,000 meter跑, the mile, and the 3,000 meter run.
"I'm really happy with the way we performed. I think we're going to surprise some people this year."
Sophomore Dan Waters, who won the 800-meter run with a time of 1:56.9; said the meet gave the Jayhawks a chance to compete against each other. He said that spots on the varsity had not been determined and that was one reason the Kansas competitors were unattached.
Waters said that the half-milers on the team were spread out over the middle events such as the 600- and 1,000-meters and that some of the Jayhawks were competing in events outside of their specialty.
The meet, which featured teams from Kansas State, area junior colleges and track clubs, gave Kansas a chance to evaluate the team without forfeiting eligibility, which is another Jaahvys competed unattached.
"Everyone got a fair chance to see where they are within the team," he said. "I was a little surprised by how much skill in squadrade competition was really tough."
If a队 member were to compete in this meet and then become injured, he would forfeit a season of eligibility.

The Jayhawks defeated the St. Louis Billikens 74-38 in the first round Friday night.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said she was pleased with the Kansas victory.
"Overall I'm delighted with the game, and I'm delighted that I got to play everyone," Washington said.
The Jayhawks went into the final round Saturday afternoon against the Wichita State Shockers, who had 17 points. Barnes Frogs 67-65 in Friday's game.
Kansas took control of the game early on, and the halftime score was 34-16 with Kansas on top. The Jay-Jay swept the game with a 68-46 victory.
Texas Christian came in third in the tournament and St. Louis finished fourth. The Horned Frogs defeated the Lakers in the consolation final on Saturday.
"We don't want to let up in a rivalry like that ( against Wichita State)," Washington said. "Both us left, weekend, I felt we did not let up."
Forward Misti Chenault agreed and said the team usually does not even realize what the score is during games.
Washington said Kansas never let up even after establishing a large lead in the championship game.
The Jayhawks were led by All-Tournament Most Valuable Player Lisa Tate. Tate, 6-foot 3 center, recorded 20 points, 15 rebounds and
"It gives us a chance to work on improving aspects of our game when we're totally ahead." Chenmault said.
three steals in Saturday's game Against St. Louis, Tate had nine points and six rebounds.
Tate said she felt more confident at Saturday's game than she had all season. She said she was pleased with the honor.
"I'm just on a roll, I guess," Tate said.
Washington was happy with Tate's efforts, too.
"We work on certain things in practice and it's nice to see those shows show up in a game," she said.
The all-tournament team included three other Jayhawks and two Wichita State players.
Chemnault, who was last year's Dial Classic MVP, Kay Hart Hart and Stacy Truitt were named to the all-tournament team. Chemnault recorded 22 total points, and Hart had 16 total points and five steals last week. Truitt recorded 16 total points with four steals.
Truitt said she was elated to have been named to the team.
"The crowd really got behind us," she said."
Wichita State guard Tonya Lane and guard Janet Hund were the other two named to the team.
For the past three years, a Kansas player has been named MVP. In 1987, Lisa Braddy, who was a senior last year, was the tournament MVP. Braddy was also named in 1886, and result was tournament MVP last year.

Manley has been tested for drugs three times a week since his restatement by NFL commissioner Paul Taglialebu on Nov. 19.
Tagliabue drew some criticism for his decision to reinstate Manley. Critics cited a contradiction because of the league's lifetime suspension rule for three substance abuse violations. The league has since revised its terms from lifetime to indefinite suspension.
