NEW STREAK (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
team with that much emotion can only sustain it for so long, and Texas owned the final 30 minutes of play.
If Kansas lets the emotions of the last seven days overwhelm them again, they could be facing a new kind of streak in Allen Fieldhouse, and not one that fans would be able to boast about. As with the Texas game and the Colorado game Tuesday, Kansas will have to find a way to take the emotions of the week and try to put them aside for 40 minutes of play.
"We're looking forward to going to support Thomas at the funeral," senior Tyrel Reed said, "but we've got a good K-State team coming in. It's going to be an emotional day"
Not all the emotions at this Saturday's game will be negative, though. Former Kansas great Wayne Simien, who attended Lisa Robinson's funeral and now spends some time with the team in a ministerial role, will have his No. 23 jersey retired in a ceremony at halftime.

Cruel tradition or cool tradition?
MORNING BREW
Stab the symbol of your country to a bloody pulp. Then wait for applause.
Ah, the life of the matador.
No, bullfighting isn't just waving that red cape like you see in the cartoons (bulls are actually colorblind; they are enraged by the movement of the cape, while the color red just conceals bloodstains). In fact, bullfighting isn't really a fight at all. Let's just say, I wouldn't bother rooting for the bull.
In Spain, the bull graces Picassos and tourist pamphlets alike. It also sits in the middle of a debate between traditionalists and animal rights activists. But before we embark on this argument, it is important to understand exactly what a bullfight is.
In a typical Spanish bullfight, or "corrida," the flashy suited matador serves as the glorified centerpiece. He (never she) is accompanied by two men on horseback ("picadores") holding sharp lances, three assistants with flags ("handerilleros"), and one sword bearer
Each fight contains three distinct parts ("tercios"), which are separated by the sound of trumpets. Before it all begins, the bull is released into the ring and the bulldiggers enter and salute "el presidente."
During the first tercio, the matador focuses on the tendencies of the bull as the banderillerte tease the bull with their waving flags. The matador watches closely to spot the bull's preferred placement in the ring (if there is one) or any of its physical differences. Then, the two picadores on horseback arrive with their lances. The horse is blind-folded and padded on its sides. The bull is then prompted to attack the horse, does so, and the picadores jab at the bull's neck with their lances. After the attack, the bull is

enraged and responds by pounding the horse with its head and horns, further weakening the neck and making the matador's eventual job easier.
The second tercio calls for the bandilleros to stick several barbed flags in the bull's shoulders while the matador waits outside of the ring. The flags are flamboyant, usually containing the colors of the region. This next level of stabbing further enrages the bull, encouraging more retaliation and simultaneous weakening.
The third tercio spells the death of the bull. The matador returns to the ring with a sword in one hand and a rep cape in the other. He waves the cape to irritate the bull and encourage an attack. As the bull lowers its head and charges at the cape, the matador stabs the bull between its shoulder blades and through the heart. Sometimes the death of the bull is quick; often, it is slow and painful, calling for a second stabbing of the bull's spinal cord for an instant death. Then, a team of mules drag the dead bull across the dirt and out of the ring, leaving a trail of blood in its path. If the matador performs well, el presidente awards him the ears, and sometimes the tail, of the bull.
Now that we understand how bullfighting works, let's consider the rationale of this "tradition." Now, I'm not one to throw a bucket of animal blood on your mink coat or march with picket signs outside of KFC. However, I also can't tolerate the actions taking place in these bullfights.
Many argue that bullfighting lives on as a tradition and that it should be left alone. I'm all for traditions like apple pie and baseball. I say forget a tradition if it involves bloody murder of any kind.
Others argue that bullfighting functions as a moneymaker from tourists. But is that really the kind of money you want to make? At the expense of a bull's life?
I say we outlaw bullfighting in any form. I want no part in this kind of tradition or this kind of money. I want bulls away from the ring and matadors away from their unwarranted glory.
If this subject is too far away from our American eyes, consider an equivalent: What would you say if it shot down and slowly tortured a bald eagle to death?

ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Seth Curry scored a season-high 20 points in his return to Duke's starting lineup, leading the third-ranked Blue Devils past Boston College 84-68 on Thursday night.
Nolan Smith finished with 28 points while Kyle Singler had 14 for the Blue Devils (19-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). They shot 50 percent from the field, hit 10 3-pointers and used a huge Curry-led run early in the second half to claim their fourth straight win.
Ryan Kelly added 14 points for Duke, but his streak of consecutive shots made ended at 18 when he missed a follow-up early in the second half — his first miss since the first half $2\frac{1}{2}$ weeks ago against Virginia.
The younger brother of Golden State star Stephen Curry sat out last season after transferring from Liberty. He made just his fifth start for the Blue Devils and his first since they were upset two weeks ago at Florida State.
Corey Raji scored 18 points and Joe Trapani added 14 for BC (14-7, 4-3). The Eagles have lost two straight and four of seven overall, and fell to 0-6 at Cameron Indoor Stadium, each loss by double figures.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Jordan Hulls had the big game. Tom Pritchard had the big play.
No. 20 Illinois loses by three to Indiana
Together, they set off the wildest celebration in Bloomington in years.
Hulls scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, and Pritchard tipped in a missed shot with 44.2 seconds to go, giving Indiana a 52-49 upset of No. 20 Illinois on Thursday night.
The victory ended a 19-game losing streak against ranked opponents for Indiana (11-10, 2-6 Big Ten).
Mike Davis scored 14 points to lead Illinois (14-7, 4-4), which has lost four of five and failed to win its third straight in Bloomington.
And it was every bit as tough as it looked.
Hulls, who started the game with a wrap on his right knee, finished it with a bandage on his right temple and tape around his right forearm. And Pritchard, who drew four fouls in the first 9 minutes of the second half, came up with the game's biggest play when he got his fingertips on a missed shot and redirected it for what proved to be the winning basket.
Fans rushed the court, jumping up and down at midcourt in a celebration reminiscent of a night the Hoosiers upset thenNo.1 Michigan State in January 2001.
Neither team led by more than six points, and when the illini closed on a 7-2 run to take a 32-30 halftime lead, it looked like the game might slip away from Indiana.
