Team effort downs Cyclones Jayhawks extend winning streak, 80-67 By Bill Petulla Kansan sports writer Kansas (1-0) overall, 4-0 in the Big 12) extended its home winning streak to 38, and Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said the team did it playing fundamental basketball. Kansan sports writer Last night's game between Kansas and Iowa State was billed as a Big 12 Conference showdown featuring a cast of stars. In the end, though, it took a total team effort from the Jayhawks to defeat the pesky Cyclones 80-67 at Allen Field House. "One of the three things I put on the board tonight was no unnecessary fouls, and we want to get on the free-throw line ourselves," Williams said. The Jayhawks shot 89.5 percent from the free-throw line and totaled only 12 fouls on the night. Iowa State was without the services of senior guard and team captain Dedric Willoughby in the second half because of a strained hamstring. Senior center Kelvin Cato was benched after picking up his four foul at the 19:28 mark in the second half. The Cyclones (11-2 overall, 2-1 in the Big 12), however, avoided being put away until the waning moments of the game. "They are really an outstanding club," Williams said. "They are such a tough bunch of individual kids. They really fought us as hard as they could." The Jayhawks received a lift from senior center Scot Pollard, who was listed as questionable with an ankle injury until game time. Pollard scored 10 points and pulled down seven rebounds. 1 "Scot Pollard is a tough sucker." Williams said. "He couldn't even run last night. He really toughed it out." Despite shooting 52 percent from the field, Iowa State men's basketball coach Tim Floyd said that it was his team's defensive effort he was pleased with. Iowa State got on the scoreboard first and kept the game tight through a majority of the first half. Following a time out, Kansas overcame a three-point Cyclone lead at the 5:55 mark on two consecutive baskets by Pollard. The Jahyahws built up a 10-point margin, which they took into the locker room at the half. 40-30, and never relinquished. "I thought we took their transition game away from them for a while," Floyd said. "But really we weren't able to hold on to it. I like the way we played most of the game. I just think we made too many mistakes." Junior forward Raef LaFrentz, who scored 16 points on the night, applauded the Cyclones' never-say-die performance. Steve Puppe / KAN$AN "That is a mark of a great team." LaFrentz said. "They kent coming and at us." Kansas junior forward Reef LaFrentz soars through the air and plunges the ball into the net for two points. His dunk helped Kansas defeat Iowa State 80-67 last night in Allen Field House. LaFrentz added that he felt a bit relieved following last night's game with the Cyclones after last season's loss to Iowa State 56-55 in the finals of the Big Eight Tournament. boy winniams announced last night that freshman center Lester Earl had transferred from Louisiana State to Kansas and will be eligible to play the Spring 1998 semester. "This definitely leaves a better taste in my mouth," LaFrentz said. "It has definitely been the biggest game we've played thus far." "We'll get him enrolled tomorrow and get him started in classes," Williams said. Tyler Wirken / KANSAN Kansas senior guard Jacque Vaughn attempts to regain possession after losing the ball to Iowa State senior guard Jacy Holloway. Trust, teamwork help Jayhawks remain No.1 By Matt Woodruff Kansan sportswriter In the last three weeks, the men's basketball team has improved its shooting troubles, and the trend continued last night against No. 8 Iowa State. Swish. That is a sound heard a bit more frequently in Allen Field House these days. The Jayhawks hit 29 of 52 shots from the field (55.8 percent) in their 80-67 win in which six players scored in double figures. All-American guard Jacque Vaughn, who finished the game with 11 points and registered seven assists, said they won because several players stepped up instead of having one go-to guy. "It's a different type of game that's being played today," he said. "I think it's to our advantage that we don't have a go-to guy in a sense that teams try to box in one or two-one certain individuals. You can't do that with our team because we have threats on the inside and the outside." Sophomore guard Ryan Robertson attributes the increase in field-goal percentage to being more selective. Vaughn also attributed the team's success to the team growing more comfortable with each other. We're looking for different shots," Robertson said. "We're not just settling for a three-point shot or a guarded shot, we're getting the ball inside to people that can make the inside shots." "It ites good," LaFrentz said. "It would feel extra bad if we lost. It was a big game on our schedule, and "We have confidence among each other, and there is an unselfishness that is spread throughout the team." Vaughn said. "As those two continue to get better and better, we're going to be all right." Junior forward Raef LaFrentz, who was five of six from the field and six of six from the free-throw line, said it was important to play well offensively against a conference rival and nationally-ranked team. Ryan Robertson sophomore guard "...we're getting the ball inside to people that can make the inside shots." I'm glad we won." Senior guard Jerod Hasea said the team had been focused on the same things all year and that the work had been paying off. "Our emphasis has been on getting the ball inside all year, and we're doing that," he said. "In the K-State game, we didn't shoot great, but it's just a matter of the shots are dropping now."
