BASEBALL
Jayhawks prepare to face big stadium and big fan base in Texas
Josh Bowe
jbowe@kansan.com
A stadium thats known to
house around 7,000 fans at a time,
Olsen Field, home to Texas A&M
baseball, is a notable destination
on the Jayhawks schedule every
other year. And filled with so many
Aggie fans, who are known as
relentless hecklers, the stadium can
become an intimi-
dating destina-
tion. Nonetheless,
coach Ritch Price
is looking for-
ward to when the
Jayhawks (15-7,
3-0) face the No.
15 Aggies (15-9,
3-3) this weekend,
starting this Friday
at 6:35 p.m.
Without ques-
tion its my favorite place to play
in America, Price said. Itll be the
best environment some of those
kids will ever play in.
And Price isnt alone in his assess-
ment. In 2004 Sports Illustrated
ranked Olsen Field
the best venue in col-
lege baseball. With so
many fans filling the
stadium (the larg-
est recorded being
11,052 in 1999),
the Kansas players
know and expect to
hear their fair share
of chants and heck-
ling. Its far from a
family-friendly setting of Hoglund
Ballpark.
You just embrace it, go in
there and have fun, junior second
baseman Robby Price said of the
sometimes-hostile environment.
During fly balls they (Aggie fans)
scream. When its sold out, you
cant really hear, but at the same
time its fun.
Junior shortstop
David Narodowski
will be playing at
Olsen Field for the
first time in his
career. With Kansas
in first place in the
Big 12 for the first
time since the early
1990s, Narodowski
said he understands
the importance of
this series, and will be ready for
the crowd. He said it was the big-
gest series of the season.
Their fans are going to be heck-
ling us, thats what Ive heard from
the guys, Narodowski said.
It will be even more fun for the
Jayhawks if they surprise another
Big 12 perennial power. Last week-
end Kansas swept No. 1 Texas for
the first time in school history. In
the past, the Jayhawks have seen
some success in College Station,
Texas. Kansas took one game in
each of the last two series at Olsen
Field
When Ive taken my teams there
in the past we have
played very, very
well, Ritch Price
said. If youre
competitive, you
have goose bumps
during the nation-
al anthem.
By that stan-
dard, Narodowski
must be a compet-
itive player.
He (Price) said that we should
be excited, theyve sold out and
theres going to be 7,000 fans there,
Narodowski said. I got goose
bumps when he told me that. Im
so excited for that, I cant wait to
see 7,000 fans watching us.
Robby Price said playing clean
baseball will be the key. Over
spring break against talented pro-
grams such as Arizona State and
San Diego State, Kansas had five
errors in four close losses. During
the Texas sweep, Kansas only had
one error in the three victories.
We cant beat ourselves, our
pitching has to give us an oppor-
tunity, but most importantly weve
got to catch the ball defensively,
Robby Price said. The only games
that got out of reach was when
we were making two errors, three
errors setting the table for the
big innings.

Kansas to face strong competition in Georgia tournament
BY hALLIe MANN
hmann@kansan.com
Te womens golf team will head
to Athens, Ga., this weekend to
play in the Liz Murphy Collegiate
Classic hosted by the University
of Georgia. Te three-day tourna-
ment will feature teams and indi-
viduals from all over the country
including No. 4 Oklahoma State.
Leading the Jayhawks is junior
Meghan Gockel, who took the
frst place individual title at the
Duramed Collegiate Invitational
before spring break.
Gockels performance helped
the womens golf team take the frst
place team title at the Duramed
Invitational as well and earned her
Golf Worlds player of the week.
Gockel said she was surprised by
the award and said she thought
that it would help boost the conf-
dence of the whole team.
I just see this award as a bonus
to our win in Arizona, Gockel
said. Were getting down to busi-
ness now and Im
glad our hard work
is paying of.
Coach Erin
ONeil said that
Gockel had worked
really hard over
the season and that
she was glad to see
her fnish with this
win and this award.
ONeil said Gockel
led on the fnal day of the tourna-
ment and showed she was a strong
player by keeping her composure
and fnishing strong.
It was good to see it all come
together for Meghan, ONeil said.
It was great to see her recognized
on the national level like that.
Te womens golf team was also
honored with Team of the Week
by Golfweek.com afer its victory
at the Duramed In-
vitational. ONeil
said this award got
the team fred up
and excited to keep
competing.
Te girls were
so excited, ONeil
said. It just makes
us as a team that
much stronger and
that much more
competitive.
Te golf team will take fve play-
ers to Georgia: Gockel, junior Em-
ily Powers, sophomores Meghna
Bal and Sydney Wilson and fresh-
man Kalynd Carson. All fve of the
golfers fnished in the top 15 at
the Duramed invitational. ONeil
said she thought the junior class
had really stepped up to lead the
team and that she was expecting
another good performance from
them.
Were taking it one day at a
time and just looking to keep
moving up in the rankings,
ONeil said.
Kansas will face of against
teams including Georgia, Au-
burn, Coastal Carolina and Flor-
ida State. Oklahoma State will be
the only Big 12 team at the tour-
nament. ONeil and Gockel said
that the level of competition at this
tournament would be a good test
for the team coming of of their
recent win.
Its going to be a strong feld in
Georgia and it will be some good
competition for us, Gockel said.
Te tournament will be held
at the University of Georgia
golf course on Friday March 27
through Sunday March 29.

Disagreement shouldnt
impede sports complex
KANSAS CITy, Mo. Jack-
son County ofcials say nego-
tiations with two construction
labor unions shouldnt delay
opening the Royals and Chiefs
stadiums.
The unions for carpen-
ters and ironworkers doing
construction at the Truman
Sports Complex are locked in
contract talks with the builders
Association.
Negotiations continued
Thursday. Current contracts
with both unions expire
Tuesday.
County ofcials said they
are confdent that a settlement
will be reached between the
negotiating parties, allowing
work to continue at the sports
complex.
More than $600 million in
improvements are under way
at the stadiums for Kansas
Citys professional baseball and
football teams. A 3/8-cent sales
tax that taxpayers approved in
2006 is fnancing most of the
work.
Mike Smith, chairman of
the Jackson County Sports
Complex Authority, said the
Arrowhead Stadium might
feel the most impact from a
work stoppage because it has
extensive renovations now
under way.
Most of the heavy work at
Kaufman Stadium, where the
Royals play, has been fnished.
but workers still have been
keeping late hours to be ready
for the Royals home opener on
April 10.
Ofcials for both the Chiefs

hopeful that the parties can
come to an agreement and
fnish the project.
Should that not occur, we
are optimistic that we will be
ready for the open house on
April 5 and obviously the home
opener scheduled for April 10
against the New york yankees,
said Kevin Uhlich, senior vice
president of business opera-
tions for the Royals.

Club SportS
Kansas club softball starts spring season with new coach
bY CHrIStIAN luCEro
clucero@kansan.com
Growing pains are synonymous
with the beginning of any season.
Inaugural season is even tougher to
handle, but the Kansas club sofball
team is taking its in stride.
We are lucky to have a coach and
a very talented group
of girls, said Bailey
Gray, Fort Scott junior
and team co-captain/
vice president. I am
really looking forward
to seeing how we im-
prove as we learn to
play together.
Te frst season
of KU club sofball
has presented many
challenges, including not having a
coach for the fall season.
Te fall was rough because no
one really knew what to expect,
said Shea Scanlon, Shawnee Mission
junior. We didnt have a coach that
was really in charge.
Although the team lacked a
coach, it found an inspirational
leader to help its cause.
My dad, John Gray, had a big
impact on our team in the fall,
Gray said. It was important to have
that support because the teams we
were playing had quite a few fans.
Daddy G, as John Gray is afec-
tionately known to the team, drove
to every fall game from Fort Scott.
Others have had a
positive impact on
the club sofball
team.
Te head coach
at Haskell (Gary
Tanner) has been
a huge help, he
has no afliation
with KU but he
has helped out tre-
mendously, Scan-
lon said. Aside from putting us on
their schedule he has allowed us to
use their indoor batting facility ev-
ery week this spring simply because
he is a nice guy.
Afer the fall season Katy Saun-
ders, team president, searched for
a coach through the department of
health, sport and exercise sciences.
Afer coming into contact with
Kylie Williamson, the team found
itself a coach before spring semes-
ter started.
Williamson mentioned the ease
of coaching the girls as one of their
strengths.
Tey love the game and they
really want to do well, Williamson
said. Tey are eager to learn.
Teir frst scrimmage of the
spring season against Haskell Indi-
an Nations Universitys competitive
sofball team ended in a loss for the
Jayhawks, but the team focused on
the positives afer the defeat.
We have had one scrimmage
against Haskell and I think we
learned a lot, Williamson said. I
feel that the team will be very com-
petitive and will have a lot of fun.
Williamson said the team will
also play the club teams from Kan-
sas State and Nebraska University
as well as the competitive teams
from Baker University and Kansas
City Kansas Community College.
We just want to get the word out
that we exist and are competitive,
Williamson said. I am happy to
be a part of this group and hope to
pass some of my knowledge to the
team.
Te club sofball teams frst home
game will be against Kansas State
University on March 28 at Holcom
Sports Complex.

MLB
After surgery Mets player
is ready for regular season
JUPITER, Fla. John Maine
took another step toward being
ready for the regular season,
throwing 95 pitches in the New
York Mets 9-5 victory over the St.
Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
Maine, who had a bone spur
shaved in his right shoulder in
September, gave up six hits and
three runs one earned in fve
innings. He struck out fve, walked
three and threw two wild pitches.
This whole spring has been
working on things, said Maine,
who entered with a 10.38 ERA.
Thats what I did today. I pitched
a little more in situations where I
didnt early in the spring.
Maine, slated to be the fourth
starter, has been working on his
slider, his changeup and lengthen-
ing his stride.
I got some swings and misses
on changeups, gave up a couple
hits with it, but theyre still good
pitches, he said. My slider, it feels
good. I threw some good ones but
I threw some bad ones. I just have
to be more consistent.
The Mets rallied from a 3-2 def-
cit with seven runs in the seventh
inning of Trever Miller. Five of
those were unearned after Colby
Rasmus error in right feld.
Jose Reyes drove in two run,
giving him three for the game,
and Omir Santos two-run pinch-
hit home run concluded the
scoring.
J.J. Putz pitched a perfect sixth
for the win.

jbaker@kansan.com
Two things the Kansas track
and field team have to look for-
ward to this weekend: Tough
competition and bad weather.
I would love to have some
good weather, said junior Lauren
Bonds, who will compete in the
1500-meter run. Unfortunately it
doesnt appear that way on Satur-
day with temperatures only in the
40s and a 70 percent chance for
rain at the 10th annual Missouri
Relays in Columbia, Mo.
The Missouri Relays are the
start of the Jayhawks outdoor
season and the team couldnt be
more ready to compete.
Were looking forward to do-
ing great things,
sophomore Keron
Toussaint said. I
think we have a
good team; were
going to accom-
plish more than
we did indoors.
Toussaint will be
competing in the
800-meter run
and the 4x400-
meter relay.
The Jayhawks mostly remember
last years meet for its bad weather
throughout the weekend.
The weather was horrendous
and we didnt want to put any of
the athletes in jeopardy of getting
injured for the rest of the season,
coach Stanley Redwine said.
In order for the Jayhawks to
have a successful outdoor season,
the team has been doing a lot of
base training.
We went back to base work
and make sure they have a really
good base to last throughout the
season, Redwine said. The team
was able to train on its own over
the break to get refocused and
prepared for outdoor contests.
As coaches, we evaluated the
indoor season and
what we need to
work on to be better
for the outdoor sea-
son, Redwine said.
This season marks
the return of sprint-
er Nickesha Ander-
son. Its the Jamaica
seniors last season
to compete. Ander-
son will compete in
the 400-meter dash and the 4x400
relay. In the 2008 outdoor sea-
son, Anderson set school records
in the 100-meter and 200-meter
dash.
Along with Anderson, senior
Charity Stowers will compete in
the 4x400 relay and in the open
800-meter run. For Stowers, the
challenge is going from the 600-
yard run at indoor meets to the
800-meter run during the out-
door season.
Its a lot different, Stowers
said. But my workouts are going
to be less speed and more endur-
ance until we get closer to confer-
ence.
In the field events, freshman
Corey Fuller will be switching
from the triple jump to the long
jump this weekend, but Fuller
said that the two events were very
similar.
Dustin (Turner), the long
jumper, he trains with us and I
train with him, like everything
goes hand in hand, Fuller said.
In the pole vault, junior Jordan
Scott may not compete in Colum-
bia with the team. But the team
is excited about the return of ju-
nior Ryan Hays. Hays is one of
the team captains for this years
squad. Hays redshirted from last
years indoor season until now
to work on getting his technique
down.
I think I covered a lot of stuff,
learned a lot of things and had a
real open mind because I had a lot
of time to work on the vault and
my technique ... I think it went re-
ally well, Hays said.
Edited by Casey Miles

the word out that
we exist and are
competitive.

hes done a better job than ever in
getting teammates involved.
A lot of people criticize Sherron
for not being a playmaker and just
being an undersized two-guard
who just scores, freshman guard
Tyshawn Taylor said. But Sherron
is a playmaker. He gets guys open
shots. When he can do both, score
like he scores and gets people open
shots, then I think hes the best
guard in the country.
And if Collins elects to stay in
college for his senior season, one of
the best guards in Kansas history.
Collins already ranks 26th on the
Kansas all-time scoring list with
1,310 career points.
If Collins came back next year,
hed have a good chance of eclipsing
2,000 career points and ranking in
the top five on the all-time scor-
ing list.
Collins, however, isnt thinking
about his legacy. Self is.
I think he can go down as one
of the most unbelievable success
stories, Self said.
Hes had the deck stacked against
him and now hes on a level playing
field. Were just watching him start
to grow and flourish.
Perhaps Self will have new Collins
stories to tell after this weekend
in Indianapolis. If Kansas beats
Michigan State, it will play the win-
ner of Louisville vs. Arizona Sunday
for the chance to go to the Final
Four.
For that to happen, the Jayhawks
will count heavily on Collins. Self
wouldnt want it any other way.
I know at the end of the day,
theres nobody Id rather have stand-
ing next to me than him because
I know hell fight, Self said. Hell
fight for whatever the cause is.

Mens BasketBall
Rebounds could win or lose the Michigan state war
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
INDIANAPOLIS Coach Bill
Self didnt preach rebounding
fundamentals leading up to
tonights game against Michigan
State.
When these teams last met,
most of the final
stats mirrored
each other. Both
squads hit about
40 percent from
the field, both
had similar
assist-to-turnover
numbers and each
had three players
score in double
figures.
However, the most glaring
difference was on the glass, where
Michigan State pulled down
13 offensive boards and out-
rebounded Kansas 42-31.
Asked if his team just needed to
do a better job of boxing out, Self
shook his head.
If youre going
to value what is
important in
r e b o u n d i n g ,
boxing out is
definitely 25-50
percent part
of it, Self said.
The other part
is having guys
who are relentless
on the glass, not
allowing yourself to be blocked
out.
Basically, Self said, desire
outweighs footwork when it comes
to crashing the glass. That was on
display in East Lansing, Mich.,
when Cole Aldrich, who grabbed
11 boards, was the only Jayhawk
to pull down more than three
rebounds for Kansas.
The Jayhawks are hardly the
only team to get whipped, as Self
said, by the Spartans on the glass.
Coach Tom Izzos team leads the
nation in rebounding margin at
+10.1. Kansas is tied for 10th at
+7.2.
Michigan State has been
outrebounded just three times this
season, the last one coming in a
67-63 victory against Texas on
Dec. 20.
The Spartans
credit t hei r
rebounding prowess
to a drill Izzo
created in the late
90s. The drill, aptly
named War, pits
five players outside
the three-point line
against five players
inside the line.
The goal: relentlessly attack the
basketball and anyone who gets
in the way.
It gets physical, it gets rough,
senior center Goran Suton said. I
think thats the reason were one of
the best rebounding teams in the
country.
Suton said he
enjoyed it at first, but
the fun wore off after
he had been doing the
drill every practice
for two years.
Throw a ball up
and see who can
knock somebody
down and get a
rebound, Izzo
said. Its not very
sophisticated, but I think it has
helped us.
Izzo said he originally came
up with the idea because his
overmatched team couldnt win
any other way. A decade later and
Michigan State is consistently one
of the top rebounding teams in
the country, which has helped lead
Izzo to four Final Fours.
Tom, over time, has done the
best job in America of coaching
rebounding, Self said. They are
relentless on the glass.
Self s players are well aware of
the Spartans rebounding prowess.
Freshman forward Marcus Morris
said he learned in East Lansing
that putting a body on someone is
only half the battle.
We need to play with the same
intensity they play with, Morris
said. In these type of games
boxing out isnt enough, youve
got to go get it.
Thats easy to say, but flipping
a mental switch to ramp up
aggressive play rarely just happens
in a matter of five days. Of course,
Kansas could always just hope its
6-foot-11 rebounding machine
gobbles up every miss like he did
20 times against Dayton.
Its not just me always grabbing
every rebound, even though it
may seem like it, Aldrich said.
Weve got other big guys who are
able to grab a lot of rebounds.
Those guys include freshman
Marcus Morris, twin brother
Markieff and junior Mario Little.
Combined with Aldrich, that
group has averaged 27.5 rebounds
per game in the tournament.
Considering the size difference
between Michigan State and
Kansas first two opponents, it
will be a real battle to reach that
number tonight. And thats exactly
what Self has been telling them.
You have to hit and go get as
opposed to hit and wait, Self said.
Theyre very, very good at not
allowing themselves to be blocked
off and keeping balls alive. A lot
of rebounding is fundamental, but
most of it is want-to.
So, who wants it more?
Edited by Justin Leverett
Weston White/KAnsAn
Kansas coach Bill self responds to a question regarding Michigan States ability to out-
rebound its opponents by an average of 10 a game. Self said it was not a matter of boxing out,
rather it was a desire to get to the ball.

BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Olympic
silver medalists Tanith Belbin
and Ben Agosto took ice dancing
from the 21st century back to the
Roaring Twenties.
It was a good thing.
The five-time U.S. champions
won the original dance Thursday
at the World Figure Skating
Championships with a perky
performance straight out of
a speakeasy. That drew them
closer to the leaders from Russia,
Oksana Domnina and Maxim
Shabalin, as both couples pursue
their first world title.
It always means something to
beat a Russian, Belbin said with
a laugh.
Russia or the Soviet Union
has dominated ice dancing for
decades, while no Americans
have ever won a world or Olympic
crown. Belbin and Agosto, who
own a world silver and two
bronzes, get their shot Friday
night in the free dance.
This is what weve been
working for, said Agosto, whose
back injury in December forced
the duo out of all competitions
until these worlds.
They earned 65.16 points
Thursday to 64.58 for Domnina
and Shabalin, who won the
compulsory dance on Tuesday.
The Americans are 0.64 behind
the Russians, a minuscule
margin.
And its only just the
beginning, Belbin said. Weve
come so far in less than a year,
with a major injury. I cant even
imagine what we can accomplish
with a full summer and another
year of training under our belts
before the Olympics.
And more time with new
coaches Natalia Linichuk and
Gennadi Karpanosov, who they
joined last April.
Belbin and Agosto were joined
by fellow Americans Meryl
Davis and Charlie White in the
top three of the original dance,
requiring music from the 1920s,
30s and 40s. Davis-White stood
fourth overall behind Canadas
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, but
only by .09 points.
Weve fallen back a lot more
than where we were at the
beginning of the day. Not our
plan, Moir said. But were still
in third.
Belbins red beret almost served
as a beacon as they danced across
the ice, especially when Agosto
twirled her round and round.
They got the fans involved from
the outset of their lively routine
that began with Agosto nearly
tap-dancing a hole into the ice
while she flirted with him. It was
as if he was saying, Come over
here and dance.
She did and off they went,
never looking a bit rusty. Their
energetic original dance was a
good test, and they passed it with
the crowd and, more significantly,
with the judges.
It felt really good. The original
dance is so quick and so short
and its packed with elements (in
2 1/2 minutes), she said. Its a
real thinker, but we wanted to
have fun out there and we think
we achieved a balance.
Americans winning worlds
would be a huge leap, as Davis
noted.
Not only would it be exciting
for the U.S., I hope, but for the
rest of the world, she said. The
face of ice dancing has changed
dramatically over the last few
years, and to have an American
team on top would mean a lot
not just for our country, but the
world as a whole.
The Russians probably wouldnt
agree. And they are, after all, still
in the lead.
They did just enough to stay
on top in whats become a two-
team race for the prize. Their
highest finish at five previous
world championships was fifth;
they were favored to win last year,
but had to withdraw because of
Shabalins knee injury.
Davis and White, coming off
their first U.S. title with Belbin-
Agosto absent, were sixth at
the 2008 worlds. Their strong
showing Thursday puts them
in position to join T&B on the
medals podium, which would be
a U.S. first since 1966.

StArterS
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 junior guard
Hes a second team All-American according
to United States Basketball Writers Associa-
tion. Hes been the Jayhawks leading scorer in
26 of 34 games this season. Right now, Collins
is larger than life.
Sixth Man
Mario Little,
6-foot-5 junior guard
A bona fde X-factor
for the Jayhawks and
Self isnt even trying to
hide it. Self has praised
Little this week for his
performance in the frst two
tournament games and mentioned that he wasnt
healthy for the frst Michigan State game.

SCraPPing with SPartanS
Rematch is expected to be just as gritty on the boards.
The pressure is gone. By getting
to the Sweet Sixteen, Kansas has
exceeded all expectations from
the beginning of the season. The
Jayhawks can play loose. Thats
what Bill Self has preached all
week. Remember what happened
last NCAA tournament when Kan-
sas reached that point? The Jay-
hawks rushed out to a 40-12 lead
against North Carolina in the Final
Four en route to a resounding
victory. The pressure for that team
was to get past the Elite Eight. The
pressure for this team was to get
to the second weekend. Now, lets
see if the results are similar.
Junior guard Sherron Collins
Sure, this selection is about
as surprising as a small bag of
pretzels on an airplane. But where
Collins could be
most valuable
against Michi-
gan State might
be unexpected:
defense. Collins
has to be able
to guard Kalin
Lucas, even if
that means ex-
erting less efort
ofensively. On big stages, Collins
has thrived defensively. See last
years match-up against Derrick
Rose in the national champion-
ship. But North Dakota States Ben
Woodside owned Collins in the
frst round of this years tourna-
ment. Look for Self to challenge
Collins on the defensive end.
Who will step up to help out
Sherron Collins and Cole Al-
drich?
In the second round vic-
tory, Kansas other three starters
combined for three points, fve
rebounds and seven turnovers.
But it wont happen again. At
least one of the other three will
have a good game. The questions
are who and will it be enough.
The Jayhawks could look to their
bench for more production also,
but Tyshawn Taylor, Marcus Morris
and Brady Morningstar are starters
for a reason. They are supposed to
be diference-makers.
Were better than what we
played against Dayton. Were
better than that ofensively. Those
guys are better than that. Im not
making excuses because were
young and I havent made
excuses I dont think all year long
but that was the frst time on
that stage.
Kansas coach Bill Self
I told Cindy, Its a little bit dif-
ferent going to the Sweet Sixteen
here than it was at Tulsa. At Tulsa,
there were parades and every-
thing else going on. And now,
its like well, OK thats what were
supposed to do.
Kansas coach Bill Self on a conversation
he had with his wife
Collins
JAMES NAISMITH WOULD APPLAUD
IF...
Kansas limits its turnovers. In their frst-round game, the Jayhawks
turned the ball over a season-low fve times. In the second round,
they reverted to a more ordinary 17 times. Foolish turnovers are the
quickest way to start a run for Michigan State. All eyes are on you,
Tyshawn Taylor.
PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS
GRAVE IF...
Michigan State dominates Kansas on the boards again. When
these teams met in January, the Spartans had 42 rebounds and the
Jayhawks had only 31. Its the statistic that irks Self the most from that
loss and with good reason. Self said if the rebounding margin was
any greater than three in favor of the Spartans this time around, the
Jayhawks were in serious trouble.
Prediction:
MICHIGAN STATE 74, KANSAS 72
The Spartans didnt get to the
Sweet Sixteen easily. After rolling
through Robert Morris, Michigan
State ran into a determined USC
squad that led late in the game.
But a career-high 18 points from
Big 10 defensive player of the
year Travis Walton helped Sparty
escape with a 74-69 victory to
move into the Sweet Sixteen for
the eighth time in 12 years. Coach
Tom Izzos crew was the class of its
conference all season and, despite
a minor scare, its playing some of
its best basketball of the year.
Sophomore guard Kalin Lucas
The Big 10 Player of the Year led
his team in points, assists and free
throw percentage while ranking
second in steals.
The sopho-
more foor
general also
plays nearly 32
minutes per
game, but hes
almost never
in foul trouble
and doesnt
show any signs
of wearing down after a long
season. Lucas is Michigan States
motor and as long as hes running
it has the ability to do just about
anything.
Will Kansas resort to a junk de-
fense to control Michigan States
balance?
A few teams have tried this,
most recently USC, but few have
found much success. Of course
no team, no matter what it did,
has had much success against the
Spartans this season. Coach Tom
Izzos team rivals Bill Selfs national
championship team in balance as
seven players average at least fve
points but none score more than
15 per game. A possible counter
to that is a constant rotation of
2-3, 3-2 and box-and-one zone
defenses.
You have to keep him away
from the basket. But at the same
time you cant front him too much
because theyll throw an over-
the-top pass for an easy layup or
a dunk.
MSU center Goran Suton on how to guard
Cole Aldrich
He is a (Ty) Lawson-type
player, except I think he shoots it
better. He can go north and south
as quick, and I think he can go east
and west. His strength, his intel-
ligence and his ability to shoot it
make him a hard cover.

Kalin Lucas, 6-foot-0 sophomore guard
Lucas hits 40 percent from the foor, 39
percent behind the three-point line and 81
percent at the free-throw line. Add in 152
assists and 34 steals and youve got the
runaway Big 10 Player of the Year.
Sixth Man
Chris Allen,
6-foot-3 sopho-
more guard
Allens spark of
the bench comes
from beyond the
arc. He leads
the Spartans
with 51 three-
pointers and
averages nine points per game.
