Jayhawks seek to end four-game losing skid
by Mike Considine Kanson sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
Revenge isn't quite the word to describe what will be on Kansas' mind before tomorrow's nationallytelevised game at Missouri.
The Tajhawks (16-7 overall, 3-5 in the Big Eight Conference) will take on the Spiders at 9:16 and 9:16 loss to the Tigers. Feb. 1, still fresh on their minds.
"I don't know if you can call it revenge," sophomore forward Mike Maddox said. "They came in and kicked our tails, but it's more embarrassment (than revenge). We've got something to prove against them."
Both teams have had to deal with adversity lately.
Ending a four-game loss streak and earning the school's 140th victory, could provide incentive to win. Trying to reverse the outcome of the game
The Tigers (20-4 overall and 6 conference) are coming off a 112-105 loss to Oklahoma last night that left the teams in a first-pace tie.
Allegations of recruiting violations
by Missouri, reported this week,
have led to the suspension of assistant coach Bob Sundvold. Sundvold and coach Norm Stewart, hospitalized yesterday afternoon with a bleeding ulcer, were both absent from the Oklahoma game.
Kansas had to promote 6-foot guard Kurt Sinnett from the junior varsity before its 87-81 loss to Oklahoma State Wednesday for insurance. The Jayhawks injury list includes junior guards Jeff Gueildef (brushed thigh) and Kevin Pritchard (strained achilles tendon) and 6-10 center Sean Alvarado (stress fracture).
Kansas coach Roy Williams said the injury problems wouldn't make him concede defeat against the Tigers.
"We're going to try to the best job we can possibly do," Williams said. "We're going to try to a better job you need." Those 12 kids are not packing it in.
Playing Missouri so quickly after the loss was neither an advantage nor a disadvantage. Maddox said.
"When you get beat that bad the wound is always going to be fresh," he said. "We've got to go in there and play really well to beat them. They're as good as anybody in the country. But we think if we play our style of basketball on a given day or on a given day, We've just to get our confidence back and play the way we were playing at the beginning of the year.
Maddox said the team's rebounding against Oklahoma State could give the Jayhawks confidence against Missouri. The league-leading Cowboys had a 37-35 rebounding advantage.
"I think now, we know we can do it," Maddox said. "We did a pretty good job of rebounding, and we've got to do the same thing Saturday. We've got to start showing the ball off, getting some better shots on offense, letting
Missouri, which outrebounded Kansas 41.36 last time, has more depth on its frontline than the Cowboys. Forward Doug Smith averages 13.9 points and 6.9 rebounds for the
Tigers. Four other front line players, including senior starters Gary Leonard and Mike Sandboth, average 10 points and 20.4 rebounds per game.
Much of the scoring in the Tigers 91-66 victory came from their three-guard offense. Senior Byron Irvin, who averages 20.5 points per game, had 22 points. Junior Lee Coward and Chris Johnson, Teeter added 19 and 15, respectively.
Kansas trailed by 10 points, 73-63,
with 5:34 left in that game. The
Tigers outscored them 18-3 from then
on.
"Regardless of what happens, we're going to play with poise." Williams said. "We lost our poise and took shots we shouldn't have taken. After that, if it was like a track meet, we would take the baton, and they kept going."
Junior Freeman West said he hoped the national television cameras would provide some extra motivation tomorrow.
"We've just got to get pumped up somehow." West said.

Coach says inconsistency reflects youth
by Molly Reid
Special to the Kansan
the basketball season began, Kansas coach Marian Washington was expecting a season filled with rookies because of the Jay hawks' vouth.
After 21 games, Washington said the reality of the matter was that Kansas had performed like most experienced teams: inconsistently.
"It's a reality," Washington said. "Our inconsistency is a reflection of our youth."
After reaching a high, in which the Jayhawks won games against conference foes Nebraska and Missouri, Kansas hit a low Wednesday, losing to Oklahoma State 64-58 in Stillwater-Oklahoma.
Despite the inconsistency, junior Michelle Arnold said the Jawhays, 11-10 overall and 3-6 in the Big Eight Conference, had learned to approach each game with a positive attitude.
"Lisa (Braddy) would drive the lane and they were all over her, but (the officials) wouldn't call it. 'Washington said that' breaks your
"We're still trying very hard. We know what it takes and that, along the way, there will be rocky roads." Arnold said.
back. It would have made a difference if she could have just taken it to the stripe."
Washington said one of the problems Kansas had in its loss to the Cowgirls was that Oklahoma State attempted to attempts to the Jayhawks three
Washington said she was concerned by the officiating this season but did not want her to test him. Missouri at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House.
"That's something that has been happening all season, really my whole career," she said. "We need to know the difference." With that kind of obvious difference
"The (Jayhawks) are a great group, and they respond well. They will put in their best (tomorrow)."
The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 66-61 in Columbia Feb. 1.
“There is a possibility that Missouri overlooked us. But our kids are confident that they can beat them.” assistant coach Julia Yeater said. “If we can get our defense confide24, our offense will naturally come in.”
Washington said she was extremely proud of her team but wanted it to be a little more aggressive against Missouri.
Kansas shot only 20 percent in the first half Wednesday night.
"The difficulty is that the only thing that holds them back is not being able to get into gear quick enough," Washington said.
"It will be a tough game," Arnold said. "They respect us now, but they want to beat us on our court."

Game notes: Tipoff is today at 1 p.m. at Allen field House Kansas leads the overall series 16-15. The game will be broadcast on KJH 90.7-FM.
Kansas, in turn, respects the Tigers.
"(Sandie) Prophete is probably their best athletic and (Lisa) Sandbothe is their glue," said Yeater. "With both of them on, it will probably nullify the edge we have, being at home."
Prophete is averaging 20.1 points a game this season, and Sandbothe contributes an average of 11.4 points a game.
Yeater said that Arnold will, once again, defend Prophete.
"Michelle kept Prophete from scoring early (in Columbia)," Yeater said. "She took her out of her rhythm."
The Jayhawks' injury situation is a major concern to the Kansas coaching staff. LatTanya Nelson recently hit her ankle and is out for the season.

Stewart-less Missouri loses to OU, 112-105
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — Stacey King scored 32 points and made a crucial three-point play in the final minute as No. 5 Oklahoma beat No. 3 Missouri. 112-105, last night as the losing Tigers were forced to play without head coach Norm Stewart.
Stewart was hospitalized yesterday afternoon for a bleeding ulcer, and school officials said he watched the game from his hospital bed as assistant Rich Daly run the team. Stewart's top assistant, Bob Sundvold, was suspended indefinitely by the school on Wednesday, in the wake of reports he allegedly purchased a plane ticket for former Missouri player P.J. Mays.
The victory moved the Sooners, 20-3 overall, into a tie with Missouri for first place in the Big Eight at 6.1. The Tigers, 20-4, had an 11-game winning streak swept
Oklahoma, down 21-5 less than five minutes into the game, eventually tied the score at halftime. After that, neither team led by more than four until the closing minutes.
He sank the free throw to make the score 107-102 with 55 seconds left.
