Withey makes most of playing opportunity

AMES, Iowa — Jeff Withey had played more minutes in the role of human victory cigar this season than in the role of a talented extra off the bench.
Withey, freshman center, had previously appeared late in the second half while the Jayhawks were on their way to easy vico-
ries against Belmont, Temple and Texas Tech.
Then, early in Saturday's 84-61 victory at Iowa State, Marcus and Markieff Morris got in foul trouble early and coach Bill Self needed an extra body off the bench that could, at the very least, pester star Iowa State forward Craig Brackins.
"I wouldn't probably have given him the chance if it weren't for the foul situations," Self said. "I told our big guys, one of the best things to happen to us tonight was that we did get in foul problems, and it forced us to use our bench."
his length bothered him a little bit. That was good, he moved his feet pretty well and he went after the ball. I was real pleased with him."
Withey's performance came despite
"The one thing we were fortunate with is Thomas got a couple and got sped up so we played Cole and Jeff there, and put him on Brackins," Self said. "I thought he did a good job on Craig. I thought

Without the Morris twins, it was up to Cole Aldrich and Withey, who, both standing about 7-feet tall and rail thin, might as well be twins also. Withey proved to be a disruptive defensive force on Brackins, who finished below his season averages with 13 points and just one rebound in

Self said Withey's performance gave the coaching staff confidence to go to him more often.

"We had a
new guy jump on the scene that I would've never given the chance, had we not had foul problems," Self said.
Withey's emergence could help fill the void left by an injury to freshman forward C.J. Henry, who didn't travel with the team to Ames. Though they play positions at opposite ends of the spectrum, the jayhawks could use the extra legs that Withey may now be able to provide.
Henry took a nasty fall in practice, according to Self, after going up for a block and being undercut on accident by the shooter, whom Self did not identify.
"He couldn't even walk yesterday, so there was no way he could ride on the bus for three or four hours," Self said. "We're nervous he may be out for an extended period of time. I'm hoping he's just out for a week or two."
