Sports University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, December 5, 1990 13 Intense defense lifts Kansas past SMU 80-60 'Hawks force 28 turnovers By Derek Simmons Kansas newswriter Kansan sportswriter Despite hitting only 43 percent of its field goal attempts, the Kansas basketball team beat Southern State in 60-48 last at Allen Field House. Men's Basketball Kansas coach Roy Williams said Kansas' defense deserved credit for the victory. Guared Terry Brown scored 11 in the first half, including Kansas' first eight points — two three-pointers and a two-point field goal — in the first 20. After that, Steve Putzes, possessively, Williams said. Brown fined with 16 points. "I really trust our defense did it again." Williams said. "We set the tempo there. I don't know how many turnovers they had, but I really felt like our defense caused most of those. We had the intensity that we needed to have, and that is what is important." Kansas, which forced 28 turnovers last night, was led by forward Mark Randall's 30 points. "I think every team is going to have to emphasize Terry Brown," he said. "They fooled him twice in a row, and they made them that they go after somebody that aggressively." Brown was fouled on his next two three-point attempts, in fact, and hit two of his first three free throws and one of his second set of three. ANCA rule implemented this season against the Oklahoma team, resulting falls beyond the three-point line. Williams said that Kansas' low free-throw percentage had him concerned. Kansas hit 25 of 48 attempts, Kansas hit 67 of 103 three games, Kansas hit 48.8 percent. "I'd be a raving lullant if I wasn't concerned," he said. "Last year we were shooting 65 percent and everybody was complaining about it, but we tried to ignore it and work on it without saying too much about it. When kids shoot less than 50 percent, it can't get any worse. You just have to get the kids to relax and step up there and knock them in." Kansas led by 16 points at halftime, 44,28, and raised the lead to 20 with 14.37 left in the game. Then the Mustangs made a run, scoring 10 consecutive points before Kansas by scoring eight consecutive points. Forward Alonzo Jamison said Kansas' offence, which hit 35.5 percent of its shots in the second half, was not up to par. "If we only hit 35 percent, there was some game slippage," he said. "But it kind of scared us when they started to come back, and we got tired." Kansas will play at Kentucky on Saturday.

Jayhawk answers questions with 30-point performance By Chris Oster Kansan sportswriter Saturday, in his first game back after minor surgery, Mark Randall declined to talk to the press because he knew the only questions asked would be about his quick-healing injury. Last night, Randall gave everyone something else to talk about when he scored 30 points and grabbed seven shots against the victory against the Methodist Holiday. "I was very upset the other night," Randall said. "Hurt leg or no hurt leg, I missed a lot of layups, easy shots. "Tonight, those shots fell. I was trying to work hard. As a result, I was getting a lot of easy baskets." "I thought he had a heck of a game," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Mark kept getting good position inside and going up strong with it. When they did foul him, he went to free throw, free throw and kicked it in." Randall wasn't dropping in only laysups all evening. He twice tossed in 17-foot jumpers from near the top of the key. "He can shoot the basketball." Williams said. "He always has been able to, at times, it's tough for us to get him to shoot it, though." come back," Maddox said. "Mark was just hot. He was getting good position low and taking it to the basket. Mark has the size. He's tough to stop when he gets down low." Despite his big night, Randall said he didn't feel he had to carry the scoring load. "That's not the way we play here at Kansas," he said. "Everybody's a scorer. Everybody's got the opportunity to score, and getting low and getting a lot of layups." Senior Mike Maddox said the team appreciated Randall's quick return to the lineup. Williams said that twice last night, Randall's wrapped leg was kicked in the area of the surgery, which is stapled shut to help the wound heal. However, Randall said that he wasn't concerned. body's got them," he said. Wiliams said that the knee was not a pretty sight. "Just aches and pains — every- "It looks pretty ugly," he said. "He had a black eye and he looked pretty ugly then, too. But if he goes 11 for 13 and gets 30 points, that looks pretty good to me." When asked if Randall's performance bordered on that of an all-American, Williams said, "I won't even use the word borderline." Biddy basketball benefits local youth Bv. Juli Watkins Kansan sportswriter Alyssa Hall, a third-grader at Hillcrest Elementary School, had aspirations of playing basketball at Kansas when she first started playing with the Salvation Army's Biddy Basketball League. "I was thinking about doing women's basketball at KU, but I decided to be a cheerleader instead." He then took up basketball in high school and juniper high. teams and 260 kids participating. Alyssa, her brother, John III, aged 12, and sister, Micela, aged seven, are all involved with the program. John III (or John John, as he is called) began playing when the program started five years ago. He said he received a flyer at school and took it home to his parents. "I had never played basketball before, so I thought it was a good idea," he said. "It's a lot of fun." Biddy Basketball is a national organization sponsored by the Salvation Army. When it was originated in 1957, it had about 600 members. The Army Board members, there were 26 It since has grown to 78 teams with 750 participants this season. This year's turnout is the largest ever. Of 5,102 elementary-aged students in the Lawrence area, 15 percent participate in the program, said Mike Andress, league director. It is the second largest Biddy Basketball program in the state, with Wichita being the largest. Biddy Basketball has programs in 19 countries around the world. Alyssa has participated in Biddy Basketball for three years, and Micaela began playing last season. Their father, Dr. John Hill Jr., coaches two teams and is a member of the parent advisory board. The board assists the league director in all decision making. Kansas graduate Andress has been the league director since April 1989. "I just got involved because I like to work with kids, and this is a great job for that." Andress said. "It's a job for me." Kids are kids. I'm glad to be a part of it." The league is divided into five divisions - Itsv (five and six year olds), Iddy (seven and eight year olds), Middy (nine and 10 year olds), Bidiy (11 and 12 year olds) and a seventh grade division. The ball sizes and goal heights are adjusted to the division. "Our emphasis is not on win-loss," Andress said. "We encourage participation. We want the kids to have confidence, we are denied. We try to take everybody." A $27 fee is required, but this year, about 100 scholarships provided by local businesses were awarded. The teams are coached by parents and members of local living organizations. The kids practice and play games at the Salvation Army gymnasium, 946 New Hampshire, and area junior high and high schools. Andress said that space was getting scarce for the practices and games. "We're growing faster than we have gym space," Andread said. "We're looking in the future to build our own facility." Andress said he relied heavily on fraternity and sorority volunteers. Bobby Boresow, Prairie Village junior, is a member of the Kappa Pi sfai fraternity, 1602 W. 15th, which co-sponsors a team with the Pi Betaphi sorority, 1612 W. 15th. Boresow began working with the program his freshman year and has coached with pledge brother Jason Paepek. Overland Park junior, for the past two years. "I like working with kids," Borese said. "Coming from a large family, I'm used to being around a lot of kids." Jennifer, a member of the Delta Gamma sorority, and two other members, sophomores Michelle Wilkins, or members Mykuns, are coaching a team. Boresow comes from a family of 14 (parents not included). His brother, Larry, who graduated from KU in Dec. 1989, coached from the time the school was established. This year, his sister, Jennifer, a sophomore, has become involved. Jennifer said that coaching was a lot of fun and only took about two hours a week. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals signed free agent pitcher Dan Schatzer yesterday to a one-year contract.
