Jayhawks bomb K-State, sail to 85-57 victory
Kansas' reserves essential against Big Eight rival

MANHATTAN — There was smoke but never fire from Kansas State. The Kansas basketball team started hot and stayed that way in administering the worst defeat a Wildcat team has suffered in 97 games at Manhattan.
The Jayhawks smothered K-State with a suffocating man-to-man defense and hit 60 percent of its shots to the Wildcats 36.5 percent and constate to an 85-57 Big Eight Conference Saturday at Bramage Coliseum.
Kansas baited K-State's three-game winning streak. The Jayhawks have won seven consecutive games in Manhattan.
"The defense was the key to the game," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "We never considered it a team game." If he would win 120-400 every game, "we would win 120-400 every game."
With the win, the Jayhawks became the first NCAA Division I team to reach the 20-win mark this season.
Kansas, No. 2 in The Associated Press college poll, improved to 20-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big Eight. K-State fell to 18-2 and 2-2.
With the Jayhawk leading 16-13, Wildcat guard Jean Derouillemade a 15-foot jump shot with 12:36 left in the first half. Kansas didn't allow a K-State field goal for the next 6:58. The Jayhawk outscored the Wildcats 12-5 during that time,
increasing their lead to 28-20.
Terry Brown, who led Kansas with 21 points, swished a 24-foot shot one second before halftime, giving Kansas a 41-29 lead.
“Our offense was patient,” Kansas forward Mike Maddox said. “We didn't rush shots like we did against him. We worked for the easy shot.”
After Kansas State center Tony Massop opened the second half with two free throws, Kansas scored 10 straight points for a 51-31 lead with 14:19 remaining. The Jayhawks out-scored the Wildcats 26-8 to build a decisive 67-37 advantage with 8:46 remaining. After that stretch, the Wildcats were never closer than 18 points.
Kansas often double-teamed K-State point guard Steve Henson and forced 15 Wildcat turnovers. The Jayhawks exploited K-State's passive 2-3 and 2-1-2 zone defenses with a crisp, patient passing game and a quick shot offense.
"We wanted to pressure," Williams said. "We knew the game would be played at a fever pitch. The slowdown game is not our type of basketball. But I do think we can win in the 60s. We did that against St. John's."
Williams said his club did not dwell on last week's loss at Missouri, which was the first of the season.
"I've got a great group of youngsters who are very competitive," Williams said. "To be able to bounce
back after a loss is important."
Jayhawk point guard Kevin Pritchard scored just four points after sitting out most of the first half with three fouls. Pritchard stresses the importance of the Jayhawk bench, which outscored K-State's bench 45-19.
"This was a team effort," he said. "I did not have one of my best games, but there is always someone else to step up.
"Terry Brown helped us. He came in and shot well. He's a very competitive person who has been labeled as a shooter. But his will to win is so great that it helps us."
Brown hit eight of 12 field goal attempts, including three of six beyond the three-point line. He said he tried to mix up his offensive game and not rey too heavily on the three-point shot.
"My first two shots were off so I decided to drive more," Brown said. "Then I made a three and started shooting threes."
Calloway, who converted all 10 free throw attempts and had 16 points, said winning on the road was important.
"I's tough in every arena around the Big Eight," Calloway said. "I'm used to it. I look forward to it as a player. When we saw the fans leaving with two minutes left, that was $ good feeling."
Kansas guard Jeff Gueldner and Kansas State guard Jeff Wires go for the ball in the Jayhawks' victory on Saturday.
Defense, bench are keys to game

MANHATTAN — Before it started, Kansas basketball coach Rey Williams was concerned about the pace of this game because of the deliberate offense Kansas State ran so well that he began, Williams didn't need to worry.
The Jayhawks used their defense and extensive substitutions to establish what Williams likes to call the Kansas brand of basketball.
The second-year coach said the key to Kansas' 85-57 victory was defense. While earning a 35-33 rebounding edge, the Jayhawks frequently allowed K-State one shot and then a quick glance at the back of their jerseys as the Jayhawks started their fast break.
"The big key for us was the help we got from our bench," Williams said, praising his substitutes. "We tried to make sure it was always never considered slowing it down."
Kansas' bench outscored the K-State reserves 45-19. In fact, reserve Terry Brown led all scorers with 21 points.
"We didn't show any patience," Henson said. "I think most teams try to speed you up a little. They were quicker at it and we didn't fight it very well."
Wildcat point guard Steve Henson, who tied Joe Dearoullere with a team-high 13 points, said he was impressed by the Jayhawks' transition game.
Kansas controlled the tempo,
something Oklahoma failed to do
Jan. 16 in its 66-51 upset loss to the
Wildcats at Bramlage.
"I'm sure it wasn't their best shooting night," Kansas reserve Mike Maddox said. "I think their
poor shooting and us playing very well defensively were both factors."
Kansas didn't allow a K-State field goal during a span of 6:58 while outscoring the Wildcats 12-5.
Kansas' starting of 6 of Kevin Pritchard, Jeff Gueldner, Pekka Markkanen, Mark Randall and Rick Calloway made 13 of 25 field goals, or 52 percent. K-State starters Tony Massp, John Rettiger, Askia Jones, Derrouille and Henson combined on 15 of 45. or 33 percent, from the field.
"One of our goals was to make sure that they tried to score over the hands of our defensive players," Williams said.
The rivalry, as always, was physical. And Pritchard said a physical game was the kind of basketball he liked the most.
The senior point guard was limited to just 20 minutes and four points after picking up his third foul with 4:47 left in the first half.
"It was a real battle out there," he said. "The refs didn't let me play, but they did a good job. There wasn't one I knew." He couldn't wonder wouldn't have died for a loose ball."
Kansas State coach Lon Kruger wasn't impressed with his club's performance.
"There is not a lot positiv to say," Kruger said. "They pretty much dictated both ends of the court. There wasn't much question about the out-
Despite questions of a letdown after last week's loss at Missouri, Kansas forward Calloway said the game was "remained upbeat before the game."
"We knew, if we did what we were supposed to, that they couldn't win," Calloway said. "We were coming in here to play Kansas basketball."

in the 24th Super Bowl, the 40ers routed the Denver Broncos 55-10 to become the first repeat NFL champion. Steelers with four wins in four tries.
"If they want to go for another one, that's fine with me," said George Seifert, the 49ers' rookie coach, after his team raced into the locker room yelling "Repeat! Repeat! Repeat!"
Montana, who finished the game with 22 of 29 for 297 yards, broke the Super Bowl record for touchdown passes with five passes. Three of the touchdown passes were to wide receiver DeMarcus Wilson, the record of 13 consecutive completions, sending Denver to its third Super Bowl loss in four years.
After being kept to 108 yards, throwing two interceptions and fumbling once, Denver quarterback John Elway described San Francisco's performance as flawless.

NEW ORLEANS — Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers proved yesterday that they have just one competitor — history.
The Associated Press
By halftime the Broncos, who have been outscored 138-40 in their four Super Bowl games, trailed 27.3. Dennis's loss marks the National Football Conference's sixth consecutive Super Bowl victory.
The 49ers did more than the experts expected. The team was favored by nearly two touchdowns and a waltz through the playoffs.
"We made brilliant forecasters of a lot of experts." Denver coach Dan Carroll said the 48ers are playing right now, it's like for any team to keep up with them.
"Joe's the best," said Rice, who had seven catches for 148 yards.
Montana praised the offensive line, which did not allow a sack in three playoff games, and the defense, which picked off two passes, forced Montana to make a completion in his first 10 attempts. Denver gained 167 vards in the game.
Along with the records came a personal achievement for Selfert, who became coach when Bill Washret retired last season. Selfert became
"At this rate, heck, I can play until it 'm 40," said 33-year-old Montana, who has a completion rate of 78 to 82 percent—coast season wins with a total of 126-28.
Seifert said, "He's perhaps the greatest quarterback who's ever played the game."
"I think we can," Rice said.
"We're a great team and a great organization. I'm just looking forward to next year."
Running back Roger Craig said, "Now we can be mentioned in the same breath with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers."
the second rookie coach to win a Super Bowl; Baltimore's Don McCaffertv was the first in 1971.
Montana's final numbers set career Super Bowl records for touchdown passes, completions, yards, passing attempts and MVP awards. In his four Super Bowls, Montana is 83 for 122 (68 percent) for 1,142 yards, 11 touchdowns and no interceptions.
Seconds after winning their second straight Super Bowl, the 49ers talked about making it three in a row.
From the moment Montana hit Rice with a 20-yard TD pass 4:54 into the game, the outcome seemed a foregone conclusion.
Rice's three touchdown catches set a Super Bowl record and gave him four overall, tying Franco Harris of those great Steelers teams for career touchdown catches in a Super Bowl. Rice's three touchdowns also tied Craig, who had three in the 1965 game.
KU women drop to .500,4th place after offense sputters in 63-51 loss
By Brent Maycock

The Kansas women's basketball team fell to fourth place in the Big Eight Conference after losing 63-51 on Saturday in Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks dropped to 14-6 overall and 3-3 in the Big Eight. Kansas is tied with Colorado for fourth place in the conference.
K-State has a 14-5 overall record and remains in first place in the semifinals.
"It was a game of mistakes, and we made too many," Coach Marian Washington said.
The Jayhawks shot well below their season average of 44.4 percent, connecting on only 21 of 68 field goal attempts for 30.9 percent. K-State shot 41.3 percent, making 26 of 63 field goals.
Senior guard Lisa Brady was the leading scorer for the Jayhawks with 15 points, nine coming in the first half. Braddy started Saturday for the first time since she was removed from the starting lineup three games ago, but she picked up her, second
foul with 12:07 left in the first half and was taken out.
"When Lisa sat down, our offense went." Washington said.
Freshman forward Misti Chenault, who made her first career start, added 12 points. Despite a one for eight shooting performance in the first half, Chenault hit eight of her points in the first five minutes of the second half.
"By the second half, I had calmed down," she said. "I was able to put a
The game was tied at 16-16 with 8:50 remaining in the first half when K-State made its move. With the help of three three-point field goals by forward Diana Miller, who scored 10 points, the Cats outscored Kansas 14-6. Kansas State led 40-22 at halftime.
"We were not as effective on Miller as we had hoped to be," Washington said. "You just can't leave her open."
The Jayhawks started the second half well. With 13:37 left in the game and K-State leading 52-33, Kansas went on a 14-14 run to pull within nine.
The Jayhawks were trailing 58-49 with 2:15 remaining when Miller insured a victory for the *Cats* with a hit, ending Kansas' comeback.
"I got tired of close games," Miller said. "I just took it into my own hands."
Kansas' inefficient offense produced its lowest point total since a 44-41 victory against the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Dec. 2 in the Jayhawk Dial Soap Classic.
Sophomore forward Shannon Bloxon remained on the Kansas' bench in street clothes, suffering from back spasms which have kept her out of the last three games. She had been averaging 11.7 points a game and 18 points a game against conference opponents.
"Not having Shannon really hurt us" Washington said.
Kansas has two Big Eight games on the road this week. The Jayhawks meet Colorado on Wednesday in Boulder and Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman. Kansas has not won a conference road game this year.

Consistency is key to victories for men's tennis
By Paul Augeri
Supported by the consistent play of its top four singles players and boosted by the return of junior Chris Walker, the Kansas men's tennis team roiled to a pair of Alvizar Tennis and Swim Club.
In their first meetings against Tulsa and Drake, the Jahawks improved their record to 2:2. Kane scored on Tuesday-2:2 Friday and Drake 6:1 Saturday.
"This is really the first time this year that we've come close to having our best lineup," coach Scott Perelman said. "We had (John) Falbo and were a little bit stronger."
Perelman also said it was a big plus to have Chris Walker in the lineum.
Jerry Gross, "Paul Garvin," Brian Harris and Falbo each swept their singles matches Friday and Saturday. Garvin is undefeated in four singles matches this season. Falbo, a 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 winner, will all ill effects after sitting out Kanas' opening match with a small infection two weeks ago.
Walker teamed with Carlos Fleming for a 6-2, 6-4 victory against Drake's Tim Van Laere and Sammy Baig. It was Walker's first court appearance after undergoing elbow surgery last June.
Kansas player John Falbo returns a shot during his 6-1, 6-0 victory.
"He's one of our top-of-the-lineup type players," Pereiman said. "He's going to be in the top three as soon as he's healthy."
The Jayhawk coach said his lineup was set with Rafael Rangel at third singles, Garvin at fourth singles, and Fleming at fifth singles.
"There's going to be competition among them when Chris gets back," Perelman said.
"Drake was a young team and we ran over Tulsa pretty easily." Gross said. "These teams really
At No. 2, singles, Gross improved to 3-1 on the season after surviving tough matches this weekend. The junior defeated Tulsa's John McConnell, 6-1, 7-6, and Drake's Doug Fallas, 7-6, 3-6, 6-4.
weren't up to the quality of those we will play."
Rangel split his matches at the No.3 singles spot.
Although Kansas handily defeated Drake, Perelman said the Bulldogs charged for the Jays and changed their six singles matches to three sets.
