Kansas aims to claim first victory ever against Nebraska
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
In the 84 times that Kansas has played Nebraska, it has yet to muster a victory. Kansas is now 0-83-1 all-time against Nebraska but will have another shot to defeat the No. 9-ranked Cornhuskers at 3 p.m. Saturday in Lawrence.
Nebraska is consistently talented and in the top 10 every year, and the dominance over Kansas speaks volumes about the type of program Nebraska is, coach Ray Bechard said.
"We've never lost to a bad Nebraska team," Beard said. "It tld
be great to break at some point. If we keep working day in and day out, and year in and year out, it'll happen at some point."
Volleyball is huge in Nebraska, said Paige Mazour, senior middle

KATIE MARTINCICH Senior setter
peted well against Nebraska recently.
"We've proven in the past couple years that we can hang with them, but it would be great to actually pull out a win this time at home," Martinicci said.
Kansas comes in with a 15-12 (7-10)
record while Nebraska has a 20-6 (13-4) record. During the first
match between the teams this season, Kansas played Nebraska close in all three sets, but Nebraska was able to pull away late in each of the sets.
Kansas will need a total team effort and everyone will need to have a good game, coach Ray Bechard said.
"It's going to take a good effort in all phases," Bechard said. "They went through a phase earlier in the year where they were still developing, but they play at tremendous tempo and are solid at all phases."
The Jayhawks will try to use the urgency of the end of the season and post-season aspirations to fuel team motivation, Martincich said.
"When we played K-State here and Baylor here, there was definitely that urgency," Martincich said. "Everyone on our team felt it, so hopefully we can bring that back and win Saturday against Nebraska."

At K-State, Missouri quits bad second-half habits
BY HARRY PLUMER Associated Press
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Sean Weatherspoon was fed up with the second-half collapses. That's why Missouri's senior linebacker and captain gathered teammates around at halftime at Kansas State last week and made it clear: It wasn't going to happen again.
It didn't — Missouri (6-4, 2-4)
beat Kansas State to end a streak
of four losses in five games.
A week earlier, in a stunning home loss to Baylor, the Tigers gave 24 second-half points, part of a trend of bad second halves by the Tigers.
"We came in the locker room during halftime and he kind of had coach blow the whistle and get everyone quiet," cornerback Kevin Rutland said of Weatherspoon. "Then he said, 'Guys, we're not having this again. We're not going to go out at halftime and slow down. We're going to keep going downhill.' And guys listened and
we did that."
The defense kept an opponent out of the end zone for the first time this season and forced three takeaways, the second-most of the season.
Meanwhile, the Missouri offense scored 21 points off those turnovers after scoring just 23 points off of 13 turnovers the previous nine games.
One play that stood out for the defense was a ball that linebacker Zaviar Gooden forced out of Kansas State receiver Brandon
Banks' hands at the Missouri 1. The ball took a good Missouri bounce into the end zone for a touchback.
"From my standpoint if you do that, if you go up and down with all the stuff that happens in a game, geez, they'd have to take me away, it's just too much," coach Gary Pinkel said. "You create your own luck, I firmly believe that."
Missouri hopes to make it two in a row Saturday with the home finale against Iowa State (6-5, 3-4).
