Jayhawks roll to triumph against Marquette
By Derek Simmons

When Mark Randall entered Saturday's basketball game against Marquette early in the first half, the team gave House gave him a standing ovation.
Randall, who was expected to in-
10 days to four weeks after undergo-
ing surgery on his right call Tuesday,
had points and pulled down five
rebounds.
By the look of the scoreboard at the end of the game, however, the Jayhawks probably would not have him if he had sat out the game.
Kansas defeated the Marquette Warriors 108-71 in a performance Roy Williams said was unmatched in his tenure at Kansas.
"I told the team there might be one other game I could remember where a team just got after another team like we did tonight," he said, referring to a game between North Carolina, where he had been an assisstant and Georgia Tech. "I know there could not have been more than one."
Marquette played Kansas evenly through most of the first half and trailed by only four with 3:00 left in the period, but Kansas outscored the team for the remainder of the half and was to the locker room with a 47-38 lead.
The Jayhawks opened the second half much as they finished the first, outsourcing Marquette 14-4 in the first 3:30 for a 61-42 lead.
With 11:00 left in the game, Kansas had built a 30-point lead, 79-49, and the Jayhawks never looked back.
Kansas was led by guard Terry Brown, who scored 19 points. Brown hit five of nine three-pointers, moving him into second place on the Kansas all-time list for career three-pointers behind former guard Kevin Prichard, who has 154 to Brown's 105.
But Brown's best play of the game was on defense. With 12:30 left in the game, Brown knocked the ball away from his man and chased it down the side of the court. He recovered the ball and passed it with his right hand in his left shoulder to guard Adonis Jordan, who was fouled attempting a趴
"I was shocked myself about that
pass," Brown said. "I saw Adonis out of the corner of my eye and decided to see if it would work. I was all turned around and thought it was within bounds, but when I turned around, Adonis was going up for a layup."
Williams stepped on out the floor to shake Brown's hand after the play.
"People talk so much about how he shoots the three-pointer, but he works hard defensively," Williams said. "On that possession, he almost went out of bounds three or four times; but he kept after the loose ball, and we ended up going to the free throw line."
Kansas' second highest scorer was forward Alonzo Jamison, who scored 17 points — 13 in the first half — and set a school record with eight steals. The previous record was seven, held by five players.
Jamison's troubles at the free-throw line continued with a three-for-nine performance, however. Jamison has now hit six of 23 free throws, a fact that Williams is not worried about.
"Alonzo looked a lot better." Williams said. "Three that he missed hit the back of the rim and bounced straight out. I think we're making progress there, but maybe I look for the silver lining in every cloud."
The team's free-throw percentage passed 50 percent for the first time this season. Kansas hit 35.3 percent in the season-opening loss to Arizona State and 40 percent the next night against Northern Arizona.
"We went 23-for-52." Williams said. "That's 55 percent, so we're getting better. We've just got to keep working on it. I don't have a crystal ball that I can look into for an answer, but we'll keep working at it."
The only player who was worse than Jamison from the line was Randall, who hit one of eight free throws.
"He's a better free throw shooter than that," Williams said. "When you go three days without practicing, you get it." Animation and your shooting touch are easy.
Randall missed practice all last week while recovering from surgery to relieve anterior compartment syndrome in a patient who was expanded by expansion of a bruised muscle.
Randall turned in his crutch to trainer Mark Cairns on Wednesday, the afternoon after surgery, and shot free throws. The next afternoon, he practiced three-pointers with a manager. On Friday, he ran fast-break drills with the team.
"In 13 years of college and five years of high school coaching, I've never seen anything like that," Williams said. "I've never seen a young man that wanted to play as much Mark Rardall wanted to play. The doctors told me he couldn't reinjure himself, and he said he had no pain, so we let him play some. He's a real competitor."
Kansas' next opponent will be Southern Methodist University at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House.

Budde invited for Blue-Gray Game
By Rob Wheat
Kansan sportswriter
Breaking off the line, center Chip Budde would explode into the Oklahoma defensive line where he andOU tackle Scott Evans would battle it out as the two teams fought for field position.
Temperms would flare between the two and even a few names would be called, but the only name that each other on Dec. 25 is "teammate."
Budde is one of several Big Eight Conference players who were invited to play in the Blue-Gray Game, which is held for outstanding seniors from around the nation.
Although former wide receiver Quintin Smith was the last Jayhawk to be invited to the game in 1989, Budde is the first Kansas offensive lineman to go since center Paul Oswald in 1986.
Budde said this was the chance of a lifetime for him and that it would be fun to play with and get away on the other side of the field.
"This is going to be great." Budde said. "I'm really looking forward to meeting some of the guys I've been playing against for the past four years. I've talked to many of them before, but now I'll have a few days to hang out with them."
Budde will report to training camp Dec. 18 in Montgomery, Ala., for the game and will be coached by Iowa State coach Jim Walden, who will act as an offensive coach.
Although Budde will have to
play on Christmas Day, he said he didn't mind because of the chance to play with other outstanding players.
Even a few broken fingers wouldn't stop him, he said.
Budde broke two fingers and dislocated his pinky when a 300-pound Missouri defensive lineman fell on him during the first play of Kansas' final series against the Tigers.
Watching Budde from the stands will be not only his parents and friends, but also various scouts from the NFL. The Buffalo Washington Redskins have both expressed interest in Budde.
“It's a neat thing for him because he is getting to play in a bowl game even though Kansas didn't make it to one it,” Ruel said. “I think it will be a great chance against some top competition, which will help him if he makes it to the next level.”
"A lot of people in the Big Eight know who Chip is, but with this game a lot of other people will learn who he is." Perez said. "Chip started every game during his college career and played just about every snap, so we know he is tough and should do well."
Kansas offensive coordinator Golden Ruel said that he just got the job. He took pride in the fact that one of his guys made it to the bowl game,
Offensive tackle Chris Perez said he thought Budde will benefit from the exposure.
Chiefs strike early, dump Patriots
The Associated Press
FOXBORO, Mass. — It took Steve DeBerg a long time to establish himself as a full-time starting NFL player in the offseason and destroy the New England Patriots.
The 14-year veteran threw an 86-yard touchdown on his first pass, a 61 yard completion on his second and piled up 212 passing yards in the first 10 minutes as the Kansas City Chiefs rolled to a 37-7 victory yesterday.
"That's as well as I've ever seen an offense function for a full half," DeBerg said.
DeBerg threw for 312 yards in the first half, highlighted by touchdowns of 86 yards to Stephone Paige and 119 yards to Robb Thomas. The Chiefs scored on their first five possessions and led 23-0 at halftime.
"We just wanted to back them off early in the game with long passes," said DeBerg, who began the day as the AFC's third-ranked passer. "We came into the game with the full intention to run the football.
"If just so happened that the pass plays we were calling ended up as big plays, so we stuck with it."
The Chiefs (8-4), who began the day tied with the Los Angeles Raiders for the AFC West lead, are seeks their first division title in 19 years.
"The only team that can keep us from going to the championship is ourselves," said Barry Word, who rushes with 112 yards on 12 runs.
The Patriots (1-11) set a team record with their 10th consecutive
loss.
Kansas City also was dominant on defense, adding six sacks to its league-leading total of 42 and intercepting two passes.
DeBerg was sacked just once and set a team record with his seventh straight game without an interception.
After punting on their first series of the third quarter, only the first possession on which they failed to score, the Chiefs got their league-record six blocked punt and made the score 90-2 two plays later on Chris Kubiak in the fourth run. Okove scored on another 1 yard run with 7-29 left in the quarter.
DeBerg completed 15 of 21 passes for 331 yards as the Chiefs piled up
471 yards of total offense compared to 231 for the Patriots.
Derren Cherry's first interception of the year, in the end zone, sparked an 80-yard march capped by 'Thomas' touchdown 30 seconds before half-time. DeBerg completed four passes for 41 yards on the last four plays.
Three of Kansas City's scoring drives ended in field goals of 45, 32 and 19 yards by Nick Lowery, who tied his previous best streak of 13 consecutive field goals.
The blocked punt with 10:34 left in the third quarter was the fourth of the year by Albert Lewis. On the next play, DeBray threw a 13-yard corner kick to Wesley Campbell and Okoye powered in for the Chiefs' six score in seven possessions.
Jayhawks' defensive effort steals victory
By Chris Oster
On three of Marquette's first four possessions in Saturday night's game, the Kansas defense came away with steals as Marquette was held without a point until the 16:59 mark of the first half.
Kansan sportswrite
The Jayhawks continued to pick and swat and slap the ball away from the Warriors, breaking a school record of 20 steals with more than 9 minutes to play in the game and finishing with 22.
It was the beginning of a night of thievery without equal in Kansas basketball history.
Kansas* most notorious thief was Alonzo Jamison. The junior forward came away with eight steals, breaking the previous Kansas record of seven steal by five players, and had the first steal of the game on Mar-
quette's first possession.
"We played our defense. Kansas basketball defense." Jamison said. "That dictates a lot of things: our offense, our fast break points."
Coach Roy Williams praised Jamison's defensive effort.
"He was amazing out there." Williams said. "Defensively, he covered a lot of territory. I thought he was really focused, really alert defensively. To come up with eight steals, unless they thought he had a Marquette shirt on, he was doing something right."
Adonis Jordan added five steals for Kansas and Terry Brown, Mike Maddox and Mark Randall had two steals. They also scored with his teammates as well.
"It gets your adrenaline pumping; it makes you want to get one," he said.
Defense was something the team targeted as a key to the game.
"I wrote up on the board . . . "most aggressive defense ever." "Williams said of one his pregame messages. "I told the team that if we do what I think we can do, we can take care of the game right there."
Because of the absence of Randall from the starting lineup, Williams used a three-guard attack, which he used helped to set the tone early.
"I think starting the small lineup like that helped us get off to a good start defensively because they never ran to run their offense." Williams said.
Jordan said the strong defense was a product of a week of tough practices.
"We had hard practices five days straight. I mean, he got after us in practice," Jordan said. "He told us
that if we went out and played hard on the defensive end, the offense would come. I like the way we played tonight."
The second half of the contest started much like the first as Kansas scored the first eight points and extended its lead to 17. That run was sparked by three Tajhawk steals and two dunks by Randall, running the break with apparent ease despite his injured right leg.
That was it for the Warriors, as they never came within 15 points the rest of the way.
"We just didn't handle the pressure well at all." Marquette sophomore Ron Curry said. "That is the second time it has hurt us. Starting tomorrow, we have got to put this behind us."
Women roll by Drake 71-62; forward earns Big-8 honors

The Jayhawks were led by guard Kay Kay Hart, who recorded 14 points and five rebounds. Guard Stacy Tracy Truitt had 11 rebounds, and
forward Martha McCloud and center Lisa Tate had 10 rebounds each. The 6-foot-3 Tate was also the second-leading scorer with 11-points.
Hart and forward Misti Chenault accounted for Kansas' three-point field goals.
Cennault was named Big-Eight Player of the Week last week after her performance at the Amana-Hawkeye Classic in Iowa City, Iowa and scored for scoring in a two-game series with her career-high 44 points.

The Kansas men's swim team avenged its drop out of the NCAA Coaches' Poll by defeating three top 10-ranked teams on its way to winning the Alabama Invitational this weekend.
Kansas was excluded from the poll two weeks ago after being ranked 28th in the preseason poll. The Jayhawks won the meet with 719 points. Ninth-ranked Alabama was second with 667 points, and eighth-ranked Georgia was third with 531 points.
South Carolina, Florida State, the University of Miami, seventh-ranked Florida and Auburn also competed Thursday and ended Saturday.
Troy Reynolds and All-American Jeff Stout led the Jayhawks. Reynolds won the 200-wheel freestyle in 1:39.8, placed second in the 200 butterfly in 1:49.66 and placed third in the 500 freestyle in 1:49.84.
Reynolds met the optional qualifying standard for the NCAA Championships in the 200 freestyle competition, and is used if a sufficient number of
swimmers do not meet the NCAA qualifying standard.
Sout met the standard in two events — the 20 backstroke in 1:49.79 and the 100 backstroke in 50.37, placing first and second also placed twice and also placed fifth in the 200 individual medley relay with a time of 1:52.36.
Two-time All-American Barb Pranger qualified for the NCAA
The Kansas women's team, ranked 18th, placed third in the meet with 479 points. Seventh-place winner the meet with 702 points.
championships in the 100 butterfly with a 55.38 in the trials. Pranger finished second in the finals. She also had an optional qualifying time of 2.02:27 in the 200 butterfly. Freshman Krista Cordsen also met the optional qualifying standard with a third-place finish in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.95, and in the 50 freestyle in 23.67.
Kansas coach Gary Kemp said the meet was the most competitive so far this season. The Kansas swim teams will resume competition after the winter break on Jan. 11 in Minnesota against Minnesota.
