Despite win, Kansas still has some kinks
By Bill Petulla

It took Kansas overtime to defeat Nebraska 82-77 Saturday at Allen Field House. It wasn't easy for the Jayhawks to capture their record-breaking 22nd consecutive win, but the team had a little help from LaFrentz.

Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said LaFrentz took a different attitude into overtime.
After a suggiss nine-point offensive showing in regulation, LaFrentz busted out for 11 points in overtime. He also had 10 rebounds on the day for his 10th double-double this season.
B. J. Williams and Reaf LaFrentz jump for a rebound against Nebraska. Kansas rallied in overtime and defeated the Cornhuskers 82-77.
"He was more aggressive when he got the ball," Williams said. "It took him a long time to get into the game, but in the overtime period he really was more aggressive wanting the basketball."
LaFrentz started his first game in the center position for the injured Scot Pollard.
The Jayhawks also got a boost from forward Paul Pierce and guard Jerod Haase, who scored 17 and 15 points respectively. Guard Jacque Vaughn was eight of eight from the free-throw line, four of which came in overtime.
Despite the offensive showings, Williams said the game wasn't Kansas' best outing.
"I'm not sure how well-played it was," Williams said. "It wasn't pretty. It wasn't smooth, and we didn't execute as well as I wanted to."
Kansas came out of the gate with a flash and jumped ahead of the Huskers 10-2. However, Nebraska tied the game at 12-12 and gave the 16,300 fans in attendance a chilling precursor for the theme of the game — Kansas goes ahead, Nebraska catches up.
The first half ended with the Jayhawks clinging to a six-point lead despite horrice free-throw shooting. Kansas shot 33 per cent (5 of 15) from the line.
The defunct performance from the charity stripe left Williams bewildered.
"The college basketball game's crazy, Williams said. "Wednesday night, 20 out of 25 in the second half from the foul line in a hostile crowd. Today, we're just as ugly as you can be from the foul line."
Although they improved free-throw shooting in the second half (64 percent), the Jayhawks weren't able to shake the Cornhuskers.
In fact, Nebraska had a chance to win in the final 28 seconds of regulation. With the score tied at 60, Nebraska guard Tyronn Lue threw up a desperation three-pointer. But Kansas forward Paul Pierce blocked the attempt from about three feet beyond the three-point line.
"We were going to run at him (Lue), and that's what Paul did," Williams said. "He ran at him and really made him force up a bad one."
Williams said he didn't want Lue, who finished the game with 26 points, to get a good shot.
Nebraska wouldn't get any closer, however, as LaFrentz's 11 points carried Kansas to a win in the overtime frame.
Although the Jayhawks were able to hold off the Cornhuskers, Williams said that there wasn't much reason to celebrate.
"We've got to do better," Williams said. "It's not just winning the game and feeling really happy and everything's great. I don't want to get lulled into we're great, we're fantastic' because if you don't start playing anybody can beat you."
Haase said that despite the perfect record, the weathered Jayhawks still have to work out some kinks.
"We're a good team," Haase said. "We've been through the ringer before, and we're going to have to get out of it and start playing well."
