THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WEEKEND

End of an era
Liberty Hall switches to digital projectors after a century of lm
Annual dance marathon to benet KU Pediatrics
Tango for tots
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
For more than a century, Liber-
ty Hall in downtown Lawrence
ofered a true cinematic expe-
rience to movie-goers. Projec-
tionists prepared flms by piec-
ing together several reels and
threading them through a platter
to create a looping flm for an au-
dience. Te heavy involvement
of projectionists started to fade
as the industry evolved digitally.
More than two-thirds of the
roughly 130,000 movie screens
are digital, according to research
conducted by the Motion Picture
Association of America, Inc. Stu-
dios are pushing for more digital
and less flm because it lowers
flm printing costs and theater
shipping costs. Smaller, indepen-
dent cinemas like Liberty Hall
see the necessity to switch plat-
forms, but still hold attachment
to flm.
Teres a romance with the
flm projectors, said Mick Cot-
tin, cinema manager for Liberty
Hall. Weve been showing mov-
ies on flm since 1912 when the
place was built, equipped with
the stuf used to show silent
flms. But in 1924, we showed
the frst talking movie at Liberty
Hall that Lawrence ever had, so
theres a history with the flm.
Liberty Hall anticipated the
change and began saving mon-
ey as management developed
a strategy to keep up with the
competition. Cottin announced
his decision to leave the theater
in August, which served as a
catalyst to complete the switch
before his departure. Te process
included research, surveying
other theaters in the area and
getting a loan.
It was pretty whirlwind at
the very end there, Cottin said.
[Im] kind of in disbelief that it
actually happened because it was
a huge investment and a big deal
for the theater, but we were able
to do it and continue showing
movies.
Barbie Atkins, a graduate stu-
dent from Iola, has worked with
35-millimeter flm for years
before starting work at Liberty
Hall a year ago. She shared some
of the same hesitations in the
beginning, but became excited
about the positive efects it will
bring to downtown.
Te digital switch is some-
thing that has been a long time
coming, Atkins said. With
small movie theaters its really
switch or die. Liberty Hall is a
special case because we ofer so
much, it is really a pillar of the
community in Lawrence.
Te National Association of
Teater Owners estimated that
10 to 20 percent of theaters in the
country will close if they do not
make the conversion. Te digital
projectors mean more opportu-
nities for Liberty Hall.
Without the conversion, our
ability to bring customers the
best possible variety of frst-run
flms would be drastically re-
duced and eventually impossi-
ble, Dean Edington, technical
director of Liberty Hall, said in
an email. Te huge diference in
picture brightness, clarity, depth
of color and contrast is imme-
diately visible and the crisp, full
tone of the audio in both theaters
is like night and day.
Cottin said although its the end
of a projection era, he appreciates
what the digital format ofers.
Teres going to be certainly
people who are sad to see flm
go but I know that this weekend
we had regulars come in and see
our flms and they were all blown
away with it, he said. Te pic-
ture, the sound, and the whole
experience is a lot diferent than
it used to be. Its much closer to
the industry standards that we
werent able to provide because
our 35-millimeter projectors
were old and well-loved.

Since 1974
Every year since the KU Dance
Marathon was established in 2008,
7-year-old Addi Davis has sung
her favorite Taylor Swif songs in
front of the families, dancers and
volunteers that participate. Tis
year will be no diferent.
Te worst part is having to
leave to go home, Addi said about
attending the dance marathon.
KUDM is an organization that
provides the families and patients
of KU Pediatrics, the local Chil-
drens Miracle Network Hospital,
with a day of support and fun in
the form of a dance marathon.
Students can register to dance in
the marathon with a minimum
pledge of $150. All of the funds
raised go to
KU Pediatrics.
Te marathon
starts Saturday
at 10 a.m. with
dancers stand-
ing for a full
twelve hours
in support
of those who
cant.
Were help-
ing local Law-
rence and
Kansas City
area families and theyre going to
be there on Saturday, said Jami
Bechard, director of media rela-
tions for KUDM. It just makes it
all the more special.
Te Davis family is one of the
many Lawrence families involved
in KUDM.
Addis story started when she
was 6 weeks old. Afer being born
with jaundice, her parents, Shaw-
na and Jefrey, later found out that
she had biliary atresia, a disease of
the liver where the common bile
duct is blocked or missing. About
a week later, Addi had her frst
surgery. Unfortunately, this wasnt
enough, so at 6 months old Addi
was put on the liver transplant list.
It was hard, but her smile and
her happiness got me through it,
and as her mom I was willing to
do anything for her, Shawna said.
Afer 17 long months, a diagno-
sis of rickets and four broken
bones, the Davis family received
a call: Addi would get a new
liver. Within 10 hours of the
call, Addi was
u n d e r g o i n g
surgery, which
yielded a suc-
cessful trans-
plant. Now,
Addi monitors
her condition
with medicine
twice a day and
blood work
once a month.
It made me
be grateful for
everything we
have, Shawna said.
When Shawna learned about
KUDM, she submitted Addis
story on their website and was
soon contacted. Teyve been
involved ever since. She loves
getting to see Addi, as well as Ad-
dis older brother Cameron, with
other kids in the same situation.
For me its good to be with oth-
er parents that just get it, Shawna
said. Without words we know
how each other feels.
Te event provides the Davis
family with the chance to see the
friends theyve made throughout
the years and to participate in the
many activities ofered. Addi said
her favorite part is the bouncy
house, getting to see her favorite
University volunteers and singing,
of course.
Its always a last-minute deci-
sion, like as shes walking on stage
she decides, Shawna said.
Tis year, KUDM will continue
some traditions, such as the open-
ing ceremony, but will also make
some changes. Bechard said she is
most excited for the rebranding.
Te organizations new logo is a
handprint to represent the helping
hand that the organization ofers.
New speakers and entertainment
will be featured at this years event
that focus on the theme their
dreams, our mission.
Were just going to highlight
all the diferent kids personal
dreams, Bechard said. Really the
point of KUDM is just to have one
day of total fun for them.
Bechard encourages students
to participate because of how re-
warding the experience is for ev-
eryone involved.
Its really empowering to know
that as the average college stu-
dent, I can take one day and stand
for twelve hours and know that I
made a real diference, Bechard
said.
Students can experience KUDM
with a team or individually by
registering online at www.kudm.
org. Registration is open until
9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

KUDM director of media relations
Last nights full Student Senate
meeting focused on election reform
and a resolution to encourage the
University to give equal benefts to
same-sex couples on campus.
Vice President Emma Halling also
addressed the issue of consent and
sexual assault in response to the Al
Jazeera report published last week.
Halling urged the men of the Uni-
versity to get involved.
Tis is not a womens issue, Hal-
ling said when addressing Senate.
Two male senators asked what
men could do to help and address
the issue, and Halling suggest-
ed men could attend the Title IX
monthly round table, join Commis-
sion on the Status of Women and
use their positions in other groups
to bring the issue to the table.
We need men to step up and go
out to their individual commu-
nities, Halling said, and really
change the culture among their
peers where its OK to tell a fellow
guy, hey this behavior is not OK.
Election reform
moves forward
Two election reform bills were
presented and discussed, with one
focused on defning the terms of
the election process, and the other
outlining the role of the election
commission.
Te most signifcant change adds
caucuses to the election process.
Te caucuses would allow coalition
members to vote on who runs for
president and vice president.
Both bills passed, and an amend-
ment to the election commission
bill added stricter time limits on
tabling and campaigning.
Student Body President Marcus
Tetwiler said this legislation is a frst
step, and reform will only impact
students if the work of our good
senators continues to the next and
fnal phases of election reform.
Encouraging equal
rights on campus
Halling presented a resolution
that would serve as a call to action
for University ofcials on same-sex
rights.
Te resolution references the Uni-
versitys strategic plan, called Bold
Aspirations, the Universitys state-
ment of diversity and inclusion, and
the Universitys nondiscrimination
policy. Tese reinforce the idea that
the University should ensure same-
sex partners have the same rights
as heterosexual couples, similar to
other universities who ofer facul-
ty and staf with same-sex partners
benefts such as healthcare and pa-
ternity or maternity leave.
Te resolution passed. University
ofcials and area media outlets will
receive resolution as a representa-
tion of the student bodys stance on
same-sex rights.
Its a civil rights issue for our gen-
eration and for the people who are
working and taking classes at the
University of Kansas, Halling said.

NATIONAL
SNAP budget cuts affect Douglas County
CALEB SISK
csisk@kansan.com
National budget cuts to the Sup-
plemental Nutritional Assistance
Program, commonly referred to
as food stamps, are set to afect a
number of Douglas County resi-
dents. Nearly 320,000 Kansans will
see the efects of these cuts, and
close to 8,700 of them are right here
in Douglas County.
Tese cuts stem from funds pro-
vided by the 2009 economic stimu-
lus package not being replenished.
Te stimulus provided extra fund-
ing to the SNAP program in an at-
tempt to counter the efects of the
recent recession.
Ofcials at Just Food, a local food
bank that provides healthy food
to low-income individuals, attest
to the implications these cuts will
have on needy families.
Every time food stamps are cut
we see an infux of people. When
we look at the numbers of people
we serve and the amount of fund-
ing being cut, we will need to make
up for over 31,000 lost meals, said
Elizabeth Keever, director of oper-
ations at Just Food.
As the winter months approach,
the efects of these cuts are expect-
ed to intensify.
People will feel it during the hol-
idays. Kids who are in school wont
have access to assisted lunch pro-
grams, so they will have to make
up those meals with less assistance
from SNAP, Keever said.
Another option for those who
will need to make up for the gap
in funding lef by these cuts is lo-
cal food pantries. One such pantry
is the Lawrence Interdenomina-
tional Nutrition Kitchen, or LINK.
Located in the basement of the
First Christian Church on 10th
and Kentucky, LINK provides hot
meals every Tuesday, Tursday,
Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m.
Tis organization is around
mainly to help those that need it,
but it also provides a safe environ-
ment for these people to congregate
and interact, said Greg Moore, di-
rector of LINK.
Moore has been the director at
LINK for 6 years now and has
made it his mission to improve the
quality of life for poverty-strick-
en families in Lawrence. Moore is
assisted in this mission by over 45
diferent church and civic groups
from the surrounding communi-
ty. Some volunteer groups come
in once a month while others only
come in once a year.
One such volunteer is Larry
Schlosser, a retiree and member
of the First Presbyterian Church.
Schlosser and his church come to
LINK on the frst Tuesday of every
month to volunteer. Although this
is unpaid volunteer work, Schlosser
still says its important.
Its rewarding in other ways. Im
working with a lot of great people
and putting something back into
the community, Schlosser said.
And by having multiple groups
do this it spreads the burden and
makes the process a lot easier.
Moore expects to see more people
coming in for meals outside of his
regulars.
With these budget cuts we expect
to see an increase in attendance as
people realize their food stamps
wont cover all of their meals,
Moore said.
Calvin Barnes has been a resident
of Lawrence his entire life, but only
started receiving food-related assis-
tance around six years ago when he
sustained an injury that continues
to keep him from regular work.
I cut yards and stuf but Im not
able to work a lot because Im hurt,
said Barnes, So stuf like this helps
a lot when I need to eat but I run
out of food stamps.
Calvin serves to put a face to the
problem. Most of these people are
attempting to make ends meet by
working, but are unable to, due to
one circumstance or another.
So while Congress debates wheth-
er or not to extend the extra ben-
efts outlined in the Recovery Act,
those in need continue to worry
whether they will be able to feed
their families. It is organizations
like Just Food and LINK that will
be forced to pick up the slack and
bridge the gap lef by these budget
cuts.
Anyone interested in helping out
by donating or volunteering should
visit linklawrence.org or just-
foodks.org for more information.
When we look at the num-

bers of people we serve
and the amount of funding
being cut, we will need to
make up for over 31,000
lost meals.

STUDENT SENATE
Senate passes resolution on same-sex couple benets
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler addresses Student Senate at the meeting on Wednesday night. Senate addressed
election reform, sexual assault and equal benets for same-sex couples on campus.
A
s the waning semester
begins to take hold, I
never cease to feel the
stress. With each passing day,
I realize that Im spending all
my time playing video games
or sleeping in. And with each
passing day, I also realize that Im
that much closer to some immi-
nent nightmare of a test and have
wasted hours of potential study
time. Tis can be a sad, vicious
cycle. Yet as fall turns to winter,
and long summer days turn to
dark-by-fve-oclock nights, some-
times the sadness that sets in is
more than typical of the situation.
People are being diagnosed more
and more with a condition aptly
named SAD, or seasonal afective
disorder.
SAD symptoms start in the fall
and may continue into the winter
months, sapping your energy
and making you feel moody. Less
ofen, seasonal afective disorder
causes depression in the spring
or early summer, according to
mayoclinic.com.
Some of its symptoms are sim-
ilar to depression itself: difculty
getting motivated, extended
periods of sadness, withdrawal
from things you had previously
enjoyed and change in appetite
or sleep patterns. Realistically, it
just makes you feel really crappy
all-around.
But what can we do about it?
Something Ive noticed that
helps me in the winter is to go
tan. During my research, I found
that light therapy is something
that is ofen used for SAD treat-
ment, albeit with a lightbox. But
there is one thing that I feel that it
is necessary to push.
Terapy is another suggestion
from the Mayo Clinic, and I feel
that the value of that therapy cant
be understated. Tere is a defnite
stigma surrounding it. People
seem to feel that you have to be
crazy, or broken to talk to some-
one. Tat is simply not true. Con-
sider it a kind of maintenance.
Tere is something to be said for
being able to talk to someone and
hold nothing back.
Terapy eases the stress to be
something for everyone else.
Maybe Im the only one, but if Im
being honest, how Im perceived
by other people is important to
me, and so I dont always voice
my fears and concerns. Its hard
sometimes. But in therapy, we can
be ourselves. Worst case scenario,
your therapist thinks youre a
weirdo. Te wonderful thing is
that youve already paid, so they
have to sit and listen anyway.
CAPS (Counseling and Psycho-
logical Services) on campus has
absurdly afordable services. You
might as well try it one time.
You also may try the temporary
use of antidepressants, at the dis-
cretion of a doctor. As a precau-
tionary note, I will mention that
these things dont always work
the way you want them to. It takes
time to fgure out the right one.
Its awful when you are just stuck
feeling like a zombie and become
impotent, but keep trying. Its
worth it.
If youre still not convinced, Ill
leave you with this from Mayo
Clinic; Its normal to have some
days when you feel down. But if
you feel down for days at a time
and you cant seem to get motivat-
ed to do activities you normally
enjoy, see your doctor. Tis is
particularly important if you no-
tice that your sleep patterns and
appetite have changed or if you
feel hopeless, think about suicide,
or fnd yourself turning to alcohol
for comfort or relaxation.

chemical engineering from Lawrence.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2013 PAGE 4A
L
ast Wednesday, the state
legislature was once again
touring the states higher
education institutions and made
their last stop in Lawrence. Te
House Appropriations Committee
and the Senate Ways and Means
Committee met with the chancel-
lor, provost, vice-provost of public
afairs and other administrators
to discuss issues that afect the
University.
KU Administrators told the
legislature all the ways the States
investment in higher-ed can
return to the economy and how
that return would shape the future
of the state. Te legislature heard
how successful the Bold Aspira-
tions campaign has been, and how
it could be a catalyst to help the
state adapt and fourish if given
appropriate help, for example, re-
versing the funding cuts or maybe
even going so far as to provide
reasonable funding.
Without investments to edu-
cation, it wont just be students
that are hurt. It will be anyone
in Kansas who wants a job. Tey
wont get one, because no one will
be expanding business in a state
that lacks a competitive, skilled
and educated labor force, under-
mined by a government that has
fallen behind others in the region
in funding our universities.
If the University is not a catalyst
for change, the state wont adapt
to economic trends and new felds
of employment. As new types of
jobs emerge due to new tech-
nology the rate of which only
increases with time education
must be the piece that helps Kan-
sas keep up with the times.
But Im tired of hoping that this
legislature will start doing their
jobs and serving the interests of
Kansans. Tere is little need for
speculation; their previous actions
speak for themselves. While they
are happy to come and listen to
appeals and explain how educa-
tion is a priority, we can predict
what they will actually do about
it. Nothing. Tey could continue
to cut funding, though probably
not in an election year. Tey
could pretend, as they do now,
that the income tax cuts are going
to come back and help students,
when in reality all theyre doing is
shifing the expenses to sales and
property taxes where the burden
will fall less on the Koch brothers,
and more on the average student
and food stamp-user. It doesnt
take an expert to predict what a
group with a track record as con-
sistent as a meth addicts will do.
Te legislative body has seen
these appeals before, and as
efective as the KU administration
has been with Bold Aspirations,
they can only hit them over the
head with common sense so many
times. In the past, legislators
have even cited Bold Aspirations
success as a reason to decrease
funding. A program designed to
raise funds to launch the Univer-
sitys growth and ascension to new
heights has been called a reason
to decrease the share of the States
investment. Tat is a direct and
hypocritical contradiction to the
very principle that the ultra-nut
tea party wing vehemently cackles
while cutting food stamps for the
poor in a free market economy,
the winners should not be pun-
ished for success.
But in this case, one issue theyve
nailed in Topeka is equality. I

POLITICS
GROWING UP MENTAL HEALTH
I
m going to go out on a limb
and say Im a pretty big deal.
I have two jobs, two kick-ass
internships, a great big house
with my friends, a decent GPA,
a fridge full of beer and a closet
full of cute shoes.
I have causes that are important
to me, teachers who think I will
go far, a family that worships me
and an aging shih tzu to hang
out with. All of this combined
adds up to one pretty important
person, right?
Wrong. So wrong. More than
any other time in my life, senior
year of college just makes me
chuckle. It creates the *illu-
sion* that we are a force to be
reckoned with. We seemingly
know everyone on campus, have
scoped out every bar, have (may-
be) fgured out what we want to
do with our lives and generally
feel like weve made a name for
ourselves.
Te funny thing? We are just
big, fat nobodies to anyone who
doesnt live within a fve-mile
radius of the Kansas Union.
Tis is true even more so than
when we were seniors in high
school. Back then, we were at
least the stars of one team, or of
a few hundred kids or of a small
town. Our parents really did
think we were somebodies... for
whatever reason.
And now? People generally
dont care what we do unless
we get arrested or send them a
rsum.
I know this is a hard pill to
swallow. I too believed that
because I was young and smart
and could curl a mean ponytail
I was important. But, slowly, I
have come to see the truth.
Te perfect example is how I
approached my internship this
semester at a very cool TV sta-
tion in Kansas City. I went in the
frst week, guns HOT. I bought
legal pads, synced my phone to
my company email so I could
stay in the loop and put together
the most professional wardrobe
I could fnd. I felt totally hirable
and ready to wow people.
As you might imagine, things
didnt exactly go as I planned.
Someone had to let me in the
back door when my key card
didnt work, one of the editors
straight up refused to make me
a fle for my projects (I thought
she was kidding... she wasnt),
and my name was either intern,
sorry I forgot your name or
nothing at all.
I even brought in cofee and
bagels for my birthday to bribe
them, but the only comment
they made was about how a
college student could aford such
fancy bagels. Even breakfast food
didnt get them to budge? I was
aghast that my enthusiasm didnt
mean anything to them.
But you know what? It really
didnt mean anything. I hadnt
earned this respect, hadnt put in
the hard work and hadnt proven
that I was anything more than
a 22-year-old with a MacBook
and $30 for bagels. It wasnt
until about six weeks later, afer
I had proven myself and run the
gantlet a few times, that anyone
really learned my name.
Nowadays, I can laugh at
myself when I say good morning
to someone and get ignored,
or when I pitch a story and get
shut down. Because thats where
Im at in life, but this stage also
comes with some great perks,
like the freedom to experiment
and screw up without too many
consequences.
I used to start a lot of sentences
with Look, Im not a child, Im
22 years old... which, looking
back now, is of course ridiculous.
Because to a lot of people, a
22-year-old is certainly a child. I
am a baby in terms of maturity,
experience, skill, fnances and a
whole host of other life lessons.
Once we realize this, we can
take one of two roads: either
spend our time proving ourselves
and earning the right to be taken
seriously; or accept this time in
our young, inexperienced lives
and enjoy it as much as possible.
Ill let you guess which path
Im trying to take, and encour-
age you to refect on your own
choice when it comes to this
subject. Because, in the end, Im
still spending my days eating ra-
men and updating my LinkedIn
profle, and thats exactly where
Im meant to be.

Miranda Treas, a sophomore
from Kansas City, Kan., is not
your typical college student. Bal-
ancing schoolwork and sorority
functions, she also has success-
fully designed and launched the
lingerie line Treas.
Initially jumpstarting her fash-
ion debut as an intern with lo-
cal Kansas City, Mo., designer
Hadley Johnson, Treas picked
up on valuable sewing and in-
dustry skills by spending time
with the couturier and even mak-
ing contributions to Johnsons
award-winning collection.
During my time in Hadleys
studio, I was taught the meticu-
lous sewing techniques, which
she had learned during her time
at Parsons Paris. Te collection
I spent the most time with was
Till Death Do Us Part, Treas
said. Hadley was named Parsons
Paris 2010 Designer of the Year
for this collection, and Im hon-
ored to have been able to have
been involved and do my small
part in the big scheme of things.
As talented as she is, I admire
how humble Hadley is the most.
Treas later put her new skills
to the test, working alongside
Peregrine Honig, the owner of
Birdies, a lingerie shop in the
Crossroads District of Kansas
City, Mo. It was there that Treas
was encouraged to design a line
of panties to be sold in the shop.
Peregrine pushed me to order
the supplies I needed, and even
bought my frst yard of silk to en-
courage the process.
While a seemingly simple pro-
cess, designing and creating un-
dergarments requires a delicate
touch and is quite time-consum-
ing. Treas starts by designing pat-
terns in sizes XS-XXL and then
cuts out the fabric. She then serg-
es the seams together, applies lace
or a fold over, and then adds the
panty liner and label tab.
Building of of a passion for
sewing which started as a child,
as well as several years of expe-
rience through her attendance
at Fashion and Design at Broad-
moor Technical Center during
high school, Treas said she was
introduced to every aspect of
fashion design, from fgure draw-
ing to creating patterns using
CAD sofware. Trough many
hours of practice, as well as plen-
ty of trial and error, Treas reached
the point where she could eas-
ily design a garment, and then
translate it into a pattern. Tese
patterns are then used to cut out
the necessary fabric for produc-
tion.
Treas would not have been
something I did on a whim,
Treas said. Te most difcult
part of being my own boss is
fnding the motivation to work
for hours on end during the sum-
mer, which usually took place af-
ter a day of work as a seamstress
for a post-surgical compression
garment company, Contour MD.
Keeping up with inventory of
materials along with organiza-
tion are a few of the many strug-
gles I face, I blame these on my
ADHD, which I also blame for

Jake Clemons had his frst saxo-
phone performance when he was
13 years old. Like most kids his
age, he had been nervous and ac-
cording to him, only alright for
his age. However, unlike most
13-year-old musicians, Clemons
audience was a bit larger than what
most are used to. He was playing
for the whole country at Bill Clin-
tons inauguration.
It was crazy, because I woke up
the next day with money in my
pocket and face on the front cov-
er of newspapers all around the
world, Clemons said.
Tough it may have been his frst
gig, Clemons wasnt completely
new to the world of live music.
His uncle, the late Clarence Clem-
ons, was the saxophonist for Bruce
Springsteens E Street Band.
When I saw my uncle play for
the frst time, it rocked my world,
Clemons said. Tats when I knew
I wanted to play music. He was a
huge supporter of ambition, and
it was something I really wanted. I
was hungry for it.
From that point on, Clemons
worked hard to develop his music
career. During his early teen years,
he created a band that would play
for empty venues around Virginia
in hopes of attracting customers
to their audience. Troughout his
career, Clemons has started sever-
al bands, performed solo acts and
toured around the world, including
playing for New York Citys Fash-
ion Week.
Tere are moments that dont
seem real, Clemons said. Youre
pretty sure theres no way this is
happening, but youre breathing
and moving so you go ahead and
do it anyway. Before you know it
you look back on yesterday and its
the strangest moment when you
think, Wow, that really happened.
Clemons made his biggest debut
afer the death of his uncle. When
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street
Band needed a saxophonist to
stand in for their Wrecking Ball
Tour, Clemons stepped up to take
his uncles place in the band.
Tere was so much signifcance
to it when I played his saxophone
on Bruces stage for the past few
years, Clemons said.
Afer two years of playing in the
E Street Band, Clemons got back to
work on his own music. He recent-
ly released his single You Must
Be Crazy, and his EP Embracing
Life is soon to follow.
Performing is a lot like sitting
down for cofee with a good friend
and you have a fantastic conver-
sation that you dont want to walk
away from because its honest and
earnest and deep, Clemons said.
Tats what this is about. Youre
in a room with a lot of hearts and
souls of people who want to be part
of that conversation.
Tis Friday Clemons will be per-
forming closer to home. Clemons
will play at Te Granada along with
Robert Randolph and the Family
Band. Tickets are $25 at the door
and the performance begins at 8
p.m.

Te Lied Center will present Red,
Black and Green: a Blues this Sat-
urday evening, a hybrid-theater
production that focuses on bring-
ing awareness to various issues in
todays culture.
Te show was, written by Marc
Bamuthi Joseph for the Living
Word Project and directed by Mi-
chael John Garces, employs the use
of spoken-word poetry, storytell-
ing, music, dance and movement to
present the issues of race, culture,
class and environment in the eyes
of black America.
Its a one-of-a-kind, moving
piece, said Michele Berendsen,
marketing communications direc-
tor for the Lied Center, and the
fact that its here is amazing.
Te show travels through four cit-
ies during four seasons to explore
the challenges of building a socially
conscious arts festival that will help
people from all classes of society.
One of these challenges is
browning the green movement,
or promoting the green movement
among black society.
You dont see a high level of di-
versity at green conferences, Jo-
seph said.
In addition to its lack of diversi-
ty, Joseph was also inspired by the
green movement itself and its goal
to engage communities in the con-
versation of environmental stabili-
ty.
Te idea of the green movement
[promotes] practices we need to
collectively move to a relationship
with the planet that is healthier
to preserve it for generations to
come, Joseph said.
Joseph described the show as one
that creates an instant communi-
ty among the actors and the audi-
ence. While Josephs script remains
a grounding point for the show, the
improvisation from show-to-show
comes from the interaction be-
tween the audience and the actors.
Te variation [among the show]
comes from the audience, he said.
Te art and the audience arent
separate.
Te show actually begins with the
audience being onstage with the set
and actors, something that Joseph
says is one of the most unique as-
pects of the performance.
Teir set is amazing, Berendsen
said. Te interactive quality of the
piece is something, I think, that can
relate to almost anyone who goes
Youre not going to see anything
else like this.
Since it frst premiered two years
ago, Red, Black and Green: a
Blues has played in more than 20
major cities including Chicago, Los
Angeles, and New York. Te show
will be performed at the Kennedy
Center in Washington, D.C., this
upcoming April.
Before the performance Saturday
night, the Lied Center and the KU
Center for Sustainability will host
a Sustainability Expo the same day
from 6 to 7 p.m. Groups involved
with issues such as renewable ener-
gy, social justice, and environmen-
tal and social responsibility will be
present to spread awareness.
Te Lied Center also presented a
roundtable discussion with Joseph
yesterday, encouraging creative
and environmental action on cam-
pus. Te community roundtable
addressed how the local creative
ecosystem can thrive and promote
local change, connecting to the
upcoming performance of Josephs
work.
Tese events, as well as the per-
formance, are made possible by a
National Endowment for the Arts
grant that the Lied Center received
last April.
Te show starts at 7:30 p.m. on
Saturday, and tickets cost $21-24
for adults and $11-$12 for stu-
dents and children, depending on
the price level of the seats. Tickets
can be purchased at the Lied Cen-

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 7, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 8A
Aziz Ansari is back and, well,
old. Maybe thats not the best way
of looking at it, but thats the fo-
cus of his third stand-up special,
Buried Alive. About to turn 30,
Ansari puts his own unique com-
ic spotlight on topics such as mar-
riage, babies and much more.
Premiered as a Netfix Comedy
Special, the 80 minute stand-up
was flmed specifcally for Netfix.
Netfix has turned to comedy to
help expand its original program-
ming following the success of
the reboot of Arrested Develop-
ment. Its unclear whether Net-
fix will continue down this path
and get more original material
from other popular comedians,
especially afer the success of the
dramas like House of Cards and
the new pick up of original doc-
umentary Te Square. It would
be in their interest to keep the
comedy spirit alive. Teir choice
of Ansari was perfect, especially
with the popularity of Parks and
Recreation.
Personally, my views of Ansari
have shifed like crazy. Afer fall-
ing in love during Intimate Mo-
ments for a Sensual Evening, his
frst comedy special, I was totally
let down by Dangerously Deli-
cious. It seemed like he took out
all of the intelligence in his jokes
and decided to focus on raunchy
and inappropriate material in-
stead.
However, 30 seems to suit An-
sari well hes fnally toeing
the line between raunch and wit
perfectly. He knows when to be
inappropriate (for example, when
he talks about illicit text messag-
es), but also knows when to be
completely honest in a humorous
fashion, like when he discusses
having children.
Te best part of the show isnt
necessarily the scripted pieces
that Ansari has worked so hard
on, but rather his interactions
with the audience. My favorite
part is when he asks a married
couple about their proposal sto-
ry and pokes fun at the choice to
propose at a fve star restaurant
during lunch.
Overall, the special is pretty
hilarious and defnitely worth a
watch (or two). Especially for all
you Parks and Rec fans who
are still waiting until next week
for new shows. Tis might be just
the thing to hold you over until
then. Trust me, you wont be dis-
appointed.

Chance the Rapper
comes to Lawrence
Chance the Rapper, a hip-hop
artist from Chicago, is stopping in
Lawrence this Sunday, Nov. 10, at
Liberty Hall as part of his current
tour. Te show completely sold out
on Monday, but SUA and KJHK
have a few tickets available that can
be won through social media con-
tests.
Chance is an up-and-coming
rapper whose latest mixtape, Acid
Rap, reached No. 63 on the US
R&B charts and is said to be one
of the best hip-hop releases of the
year.
Hes a very interesting artist be-
cause his music has multiple difer-
ent genres, mixing between R&B
and hip-hop sounds, said Michael
Engelken, live events director for
KJHK.
SUA and KJHK have partnered
up for the frst time this year and
are working together to plan live
entertainment events for students.
Its been really neat working with
another organization to make these
events possible, said Subha Upa-
dhyayula, live music coordinator
for SUA. KJHK helps us a lot with
picking the bands. Tey want up-
and-coming acts to come to the
University and its interesting to get
their perspective on music events.
We are so excited that Chance add-
ed us to his tour.
Chance has made guest appear-
ances with well-known artists in-
cluding, but not limited to, Hoodie
Allen, Lil Wayne and Rapsody. His
frst mixtape, 10 Day, was fea-
tured in Forbes magazines Top
Cheap Tunes column, and recent-
ly he was highlighted in Complex
magazines 10 New Chicago Rap-
pers to Look Out For.
Acid Rap, went platinum and was
nominated for Best Mixtape at the
2013 BET Hip Hop Awards. 10
Day and Acid Rap are available
as free downloads.
Chance the Rappers current tour,
Social Experiment, began on Oct.
25 in Champaign, Ill., and will end
on Dec. 7 in Miami.
Doors open at 8 p.m. Te show is

al fundraiser. Te products, which
include scarves, gloves, mittens,
sweaters, hoodies, hats and leg
warmers, are handmade and sewn
from alpaca wool by people in Bo-
livia.
I want to make things better back
home, said Mario Andrade, di-
rector of the fair trade cooperative
Manos de Bolivia, which is Span-
ish for Hands of Bolivia. Some
people use words, but I use educa-
tion and action to helps those who
dont have opportunities available
to them.
Te goal of the cooperative is to
help improve the quality of life for
the indigenous and rural people of
Bolivia.
Everything is handmade, vege-
table dyed and most of the hats are
crocheted, said Latisha Johnson, a
sophomore Sigma Lambda Gamma
member from West St. Paul, Minn.
Tere is a lot of work that goes
into making everything.
Te prices range from $14 for
gloves, scarves and hats to $48 for
sweaters and hoodies.
Its a diferent way to raise mon-
ey, Johnson said. People get to see
the product and actually under-
stand what they are donating to.
Tey come to the table and have the
interaction with someone like Ma-
rio who can explain to them what
everything they want to know.
Sigma Lambda Gamma Delta Al-
pha chapter has hosted the fund-
raiser sale at the University for sev-
eral years.
I buy two things at least every
year since I know that a majority
of money goes to helping people in
Bolivia, said Brenda Morales, a se-
nior Sigma Lambda Gamma mem-
ber from Kansas City, Kan. Only
20 percent of the proceeds go to the
sorority and the remaining funds
go to the free-trade co-op.
Te funds raised by the cooper-
ative go back to Bolivian commu-
nities to help with medicine, water,
education and other forms of aid.
Te money also helps fund the so-
roritys trip to their convention and
other projects. Tis is one of several
stops that Andrade and his group
make throughout the United States.
Other locations include Truman
State University and the University
of Nebraska.
Te Manos de Bolivia cooperative
and Sigma Lambda Gamma fund-
raiser will remain on Wescoe Beach
until Friday and is open from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m.

my creativity.
While Treas directs all of her
focus towards academics during
school months, she hopes to
further her education through
internships following gradua-
tion from the University. When
it comes to the future of her line,
Miranda aspires to one day be
able to work on Treas full time.
I cant say exactly what the
future holds, although I know
Treas will always be with me.
During the school year I sadly
put Treas on hold, although I
wish it were possible to set up
shop in Lawrence and balance
life between Treas and school-
work, Treas said.
For students looking to start
their own businesses, Treas best
piece of advice is to go for it.
Find mentors that want to help
you succeed, and take advantage
of advice. Make a business plan
and set out with determination
to execute. I suggest taking En-
trepreneurship with Wally Mey-
er if you want to learn the basics
with a guy who truly wants to
educate young entrepreneurs.
Treas says that through Wal-
lys curriculum, she was able
to learn how to successfully
launch and run a business.
And with Wallys enthusiasm,
she was inspired and excited to
expand her business and be an
entrepreneurspecifcally her
own boss.
Before taking this class, I was
clueless as to what steps to take
to build a business but the reality
check Wally gave me pushed me
to take everything more serious-
ly, Treas said.
With the experience gained
from her multitude of jobs, Treas
has created something she can
build a lifelong career around.
With the support from the la-
dies at Birdies as well as my fam-
ily and friends, I have been able
to create my dream job, Treas
said.
Because Treas must stock Bird-
ies during the summer and win-
ter months, there is a limited
number of merchandise avail-
able. If interested, you can shop
at http://birdiespanties.com/ or
visit the boutique at 116 West

COMMENTARY
Self catches lucky
break in recruitment
As if Bill Self needed any
lucky breaks on the recruiting
trail recently, one of his big-
gest targets for next years re-
cruiting class just so happens
to be dating a freshman on
the Kansas womens basket-
ball team.
Forward Clif Alexander,
the No. 4 recruit in the Class
of 2014, will choose between
Kansas and three other
schoolsIllinois, DePaul,
Memphison November 15
on ESPNU. His last weekend
before the announcement will
be spent here in Lawrence
watching his girlfriend, fresh-
man Caelynn Allen-Manning,
play against Oral Roberts on
Sunday afernoon in Allen
Fieldhouse.
Its a boost that a recruiter
like Self at a place like Kansas
doesnt need, but will gladly
take. Alexander recently cut
the only other powerhouse on
his list, Michigan State, and
is down to a few local schools
and Memphis. If having his
girlfriend on campus werent
enough to lure the big man,
Self has another trump card.
Assistant coach Jerrance
Howard was the frst coach to
recruit Alexander a few years
ago while he was coaching at
Illinois. Every sign points to
a happy Kansas coaching staf
and fanbase afer next Fridays
announcement.
But Alexander isnt the
only Top 5 recruit that Self is
trying to sign. Center Jahlil
Okafor (No. 1) and point
guard Tyus Jones (No. 5)
have said all along that they
will play college basketball
together, and both players
have Kansas and Duke on
their lists. Tey were also in
townand the reasonfor
the impromptu open scrim-
mage a few weeks ago in Allen
Fieldhouse. Alexander and
Okafor arent playing togeth-
er next year, leaving three
viable options for Kansas:
Alexander commits, Okafor
and Jones commit, or all three
players go elsewhere, which is
doubtful.
And while Okafor and
Jones wont commit before
Alexanders announcement
next week, it is hard to see
Self turning down two Top 5
players in order to land one
player. If Okafor and Jones are
coming to Kansas, Alexan-
der likely wont commit next
Friday. If Alexander does
commit to Kansas Friday,
Okafor and Jones were
probably going elsewhere.
Confused yet?
Whatever happens, Self
should have at least one
cornerstone of next years
recruiting class locked down
shortly, allowing him to fll in
any more pieces as he deems
appropriate while fnding
room for more Final Four
banners.

S
portsmanship is one of the most
preached concepts to adolescent ath-
letes. You are taught to treat both your
teammates and your opponents with cour-
tesy and respect. At the end of every game
that I have ever played in, both teams shake
hands and congratulate each other with a
fst bump and an obligatory good game.
Every Little League, high school and pick
up game comes with its own set of mercy
rules to prevent the score from getting out
of hand. Tese rituals are meant to mold
young athletes into respectful upstanding
adults.
Tese athletes take the sportsmanship they
learned from their playing days and transfer
them into the workplace. But what happens
to the people who do make it in profession-
al sports? Athletes spend their entire lives
competing and trying to be the best they
possibly can. In some cases, adults forget
the lessons they have learned as children,
and sportsmanship takes a backseat to com-
petitiveness. However, theres still hope for
sportsmanship in the top leagues.
Last Saturday, my friend Ben Lipowitz
and I were watching Manchester City take
on Norwich City. For those of you who do
not know, these two teams play in the En-
glish Premier League considered the
most prestigious professional soccer league
in the world. Coming into this match, Man
City was heavily favored. So there was no
surprise when they scored four goals in
the frst 36 minutes. When the game clock
struck 90:00, the scoreboard read 7-0.
Was this seven-goal victory unsportsman-
like? Should Man City have let up when
the game was clearly in their favor? Te
answer to both of these questions is a frm
yes. However, Lipowitz could not have dis-
agreed more. His argument was that the
fans pay to see their team give it their all for
90 minutes.
No professional soccer team enjoys getting
shut out, especially when the other team
puts up seven goals. No professional ath-
lete enjoys being embarrassed on his or her
feld. A mercy rule cannot be instituted in
professional sports, but there comes a
time where enough is enough.
Being a professional athlete is a privi-
lege, but some athletes abuse or forget
that. Whenever a player scores a touch-
down in the NFL, there is a celebration
that follows. Whether its a salsa dance,
a Gronk Spike or a hellacious dunk
through the uprights, every player has
their own signature move. Tats not
to say that these celebrations should
be outlawed, but they can get out of hand.
In January 2006, a Texas high school girls
basketball team defeated another school
100-0. Te team was up 59-0 at halfime.
Parents who were at the game said that
Covenant High, the winning team, players
continued to chuck up three-pointers all
the way through the fourth quarter. Tis,
not unlike the Man City game, is a case of
a team needing to ease up. Te Covenant
High School coach was fred the Sunday fol-
lowing the game afer refusing to apologize.
No matter how much better one team is
than another, it is never acceptable to beat
them by that kind of margin. It is an embar-
rassment to both programs.
Luckily, there are plenty of examples of
good sportsmanship in the world. Afer
Boston defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in
the World Series, the Red Sox released a let-
ter to all Cardinals
fans thanking them
for their hospitality
and respect for the
game. One line says,
Your region, its people,
and the entire Cardinals
organization represent
everything thats great
about baseball. Tis was a
true class act by the Boston
Red Sox. It shows that when
you get past the competitiveness and love
for winning, there is admiration and respect
shared between the two organizations.
Like them or not, the Red Sox organiza-
tion shows us that sportsmanship is not
dead. Putting all the inappropriate blow-
outs, showboating and celebrations aside,
sportsmanship can still be found. Not every
professional athlete forgets the lessons they
learned in Little League.
Being a professional athlete is a privilege.
Professionals owe each other the courtesy
and respect of demonstrating good sports-
manship in their workplace just like teach-
ers, doctors and businessmen demonstrate
in theirs.

Kansas senior kicker Ron
Doherty had waited for the call.
Afer coach Charlie Weis had
seen enough from Matthew Wy-
man afer he misfred on a 31-yard
feld goal, Doherty got the call and
it all came unexpectedly quick.
I was ready to go. You never
know, it just kind of happens,
Doherty said.
Doherty redeemed himself afer
a rough 2012 campaign against
Texas last Saturday connecting on
his two feld goal attempts and the
one extra point.
It was defnitely a plus to go
2-for-2 in the game and hit the ex-
tra point, Doherty said. Tat is
defnitely a positive of getting back
out there.
Te Jayhawks were lef looking
for a new kicker afer unsatisfacto-
ry performances from Doherty last
year. He has no hard feelings about
what happened.
At the end of the day, its not al-
ways positive, there are always neg-
atives to the whole thing, Doherty
said. I do feel like it was an adverse
situation and I thought the only
way I could go was up and I did.
Doherty, who flled every kicking
position last season, didnt fnd his
name on the depth chart this year.
I just knew I just needed a
chance to prove myself and got
some opportunities to go out there
and kick, and slowly and surely I
worked my way back up, Doherty
said.
Dohertys second attempt against
Texas made it through with some
aid from the uprights. Aferward
one of the coaches went up to
Doherty and told him he was liv-
ing right.
A lot of players that faced that
kind of adversity may have called
it quits, but Doherty kept click-
ing along, never doubting that he
would get another opportunity to
prove himself. His teammates also
played a crucial factor, helping him
stick around for one more year.
I love those guys. Tose guys are
my teammates. I would do any-
thing for those guys, Doherty said.
Tere are people here that Ill stay
with the rest of my life.
Trough all the dregs of being
yanked from the starting position,
Doherty understands the team
mentality of it all better than any-
thing.
Not a spot is secure on this team,
you always have to be competing,
thats what coach Weis has instilled
here, which is fne, Doherty said.
As long as you do your job, youre
going to keep it. I didnt do my job
to the best of my abilities so they
brought in some more competi-
tion.
Doherty never thought the end of
last season would be the end of his
career, and is mentally and physi-
cally more prepared, working on
driving through the ball. From a
mentality standpoint, he is more
than ready to do his task when his
name is called.
It was called and he delivered.
Im very grateful for what hap-
pened, Im just getting my oppor-
tunity and going with it, Doherty
said.

Senior kicker Ron Doherty (13) kicks the ball during the Nov. 2 game against Texas in Austin, Texas. The Jayhawks lost 35-13.
Senior kicker Ron Doherty proves worthy of second chance
West Virginia ran all over Kan-
sas in the Jayhawks quarterfnal
matchup in the Big 12 Champion-
ship last night, ending the Kansas
soccer season. Te Big 12 Ofensive
Player of the Year, West Virgin-
ias Frances Silva, scored two ear-
ly goals, and the Jayhawks didnt
come close to recovering, eventual-
ly falling 0-3.
Under the lights at the newly
completed Swope Soccer Village
in Kansas City, Mo., both of Silvas
goals came with the clock stopped,
following fouls by Kansas. Te
Overland Park native took advan-
tage of a free kick in the 17th min-
ute and then a penalty kick less
than eight minutes later.
Second half I thought we com-
peted really well, coach Mark
Francis said. I thought the penalty
kick killed us.
Kansas, the eighth seed in the
tournament, was overwhelmed of-
fensively by the number one seed.
Te Jayhawks were outshot 20-7.
West Virginia had 13 shots alone
in the frst half and had 11 of their
shots on goal. None of Kansas
shots were on frame. Sophomore
forward Ashley Williams and se-
nior forward Caroline Kastor led
the Jayhawks in shots with two
each.
In the second half, we gave the
third, Francis said. Its tough
to come back against these guys.
Youve got to give it to them. West
Virginia is a good team. Ofen-
sively, they have so many diferent
weapons.
Tessa Broadwater scored the third
goal 10 minutes into the second
half, with the assist from Ashley
Lawrence. Broadwater started in
the place of injured Mountaineer
Kate Schwindel.
Te bright spot for the Jayhawks
was junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn
Stroud. Despite the three goals that
went past her, she
prevented the score
from getting ugli-
er. She added eight
saves to her season
total.
Last year, West
Virginia was upset
in the quarterfnals
by TCU, afer also
earning the number
one seed.
Kansas is co-hosting the tourna-
ment with Sporting Club. Origi-
nally, the conference planned to
hold its postseason tournament at
Sporting Park, but Swope Soccer
Village was
built espe-
cially for
these games.
Co n s t r u c -
tion began
about half a
year ago, and
these are the
frst matches
to have ever
been played
there. Te semifnals will take place
on Friday, and the fnal game will
be Sunday.
Kansas ends its season at 7-11-
2. Sophomore midfelder Liana

th
With no Naadir Tharpe to run the offense,
freshmen guards Frank Mason, Andrew
Wiggins and Wayne Selden Jr. will have
to step up and prove they can move the
ball themselves. This shouldnt be an
issue against Louisiana-Monroe, but it
would be comforting to see it take place
nonetheless.
Conner Frankamp
At one time,
both Frankamp
and Brannen
Greene were
in the redshirt
conversati on
but Self be-
lieves the two
are both vital
to the Jayhawks success. Frankamp has
been used mainly as a shooting guard
but will get his chance to play the point
as a backup to Frank Mason.
How smooth will the
offense run without Naadir
Tharpe in the game?
When Mason started against Fort Hays
State, it took him a few reps on the court
to nd his rhythm and get the ball mov-
ing. Can he get past the opening jitters
and start Kansas out right?
42 Fouls by Kansas in the preseason
29 Points by Perry Ellis in the
exhibitions
5 Highlight-worthy plays by Andrew
Wiggins so far

KANSAS
0-0, (0-0)
STARTERS
Frank Mason, Point Guard
With Naadir Tharpe serving a single game suspension,
Mason will begin the year as Kansas top point guard.
Whether or not this is by default, Mason proved that he
belongs on the oor after pushing the tempo in Tues-
days exhibition against Fort Hays State. The freshman
recorded four points and six assists with three steals
and just one turnover.
Wayne Selden Jr., Guard

After getting into early foul trouble in the Jayhawks rst
exhibition, Selden came back against Fort Hays State
and tied for the Kansas lead in scoring, with 13 points
in 20 minutes. Hell see much more time on the oor on
Friday.
Andrew Wiggins, Guard

A couple of electrifying plays made it seem as though
Wiggins had a better game against the Tigers than the
box score shows. Yes, he scored 10 points, but shot just
4-10. Its clear the freshman hasnt played anywhere
close to what his skills dictate but thats likely just a
product of the preseason.
Perry Ellis, Forward

Again, Ellis lead Kansas in scoring along with Selden
when Fort Hays State came to Lawrence. He also tied
with Jamari Traylor and Joel Embiid for the Jayhawks
lead rebounder with seven boards. Ellis looks to get bet-
ter each game and theres no reason to expect him to
slow down anytime soon.

Tarik Black, Forward
Black is still struggling with the new hand-check rules
as he picked up three fouls in the nal exhibition, but
Kansas coach Bill Self said this was more a product
of missed assignments by the Jayhawks guards. The
senior will still be the rock of the team as the season
gets underway.

Mason joins starting lineup in Tharpes absence
Kansas executes on offense with only a
few aws. The better this team can play
without Naadir Tharpe, the easier life
will be for Bill Self and Jayhawk fans. If
Frank Mason and Conner Frankamp can
prove themselves as worthy backups,
this team will have one less thing to

Coach Bill Self addresses senior forward Tarik Black during the Pittsburg State exhibition game on Oct. 29. Kansas won
97-57.
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
Junior guard Naadir Tharpe dribbles the ball past a defender during the Nov. 5 exhibition game against Fort Hays State. The
Jayhawks won 92-75. Tharpe will be serving a single game suspension during the Nov. 8 exhibition game against Louisiana
Monroe, leaving freshman Frank Mason to play point guard in his place.

PLAYER TO WATCH
The Kansas offense has been the anchor to the football teams progres-
sion. The anchor is a metaphor for the offenses ability to keep the team
still completely unprogressive. The offense has managed to keep
Kansas relatively close to the dock actually, and now we continue to
see a battle for captainship: the rotating possessions between Montell
Cozart and Jake Heaps. Heaps gets the start this week, but does it really
mean anything. Kansas does have stud playmaker Tony Pierson back in
the lineup though, so the hopes should be higher than previous weeks.
The defense has managed to keep games fairly manageable for
Kansas and its struggling offense. It requires forcing turnovers:
something this defense does particularly well. They force just under
two turnovers a game and they may need a few more than that to
make things interesting against a team that has won four straight Big
12 games. They also are 15th in the nation in points, averaging 40.4
points per contest.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Well, Matthew Wyman had his time. The kicker that nailed a 53-yard game winner earlier this year will now be
No. 2 on the depth chart behind Ron Doherty, the kicker that was benched last season. Charlie Weis is ghting
old demons with this decision, but has conrmed that Doherty will be taking the rst kicker. With Dohertys
history, you can expect to see Wyman at some point again in the season. As for punting, Trevor Pardula has a
great leg on him.
Tony Pierson. Kansas biggest offensive weapon is back on the depth chart this weekend, and thats more than
beautiful for Kansas. The Kansas offense may not be the most glamorous offense with him, but he brings
things a step up from ugly. Piersons rst few plays will be key in determining both his intended impact on the
game and if he is, indeed, 100 percent recovered from concussion troubles.
AT A GLANCE
When youre watching Kansas play from now on, it should be understood that Jake Heaps and Montell
Cozart are not complements. Its turned into a battle for the starter position. Its plausible that the
battle for next years starting quarterback position is right now. With each week, Heaps takes the shape
of Dayne Crist more and more, and with Cozart bringing the run element to the pocket, Weis has every
reason to give Cozart the nod. Cozarts first touchdown, a 20-yard run last week against Texas, should
only accelerate his ascension.
COACHING
Weis said that he worked with the receivers about being more physical and that it has paid dividends so far. We
saw a little last week with Rodriguez Coleman breaking through, but that progress needs to be carried through
each game. It will be the focal point to see if Kansas can get any big plays from their wide receiving corps.
BABY JAY CHEERS IF
Kansas doesnt throw the game on one play. Kansas has been notorious this season for letting the momentum
of games switch with just a play. Early in the season it was the fake punt run, last week it was a Jake Heaps
fumble returned for a touchdown, and theres been plenty in between. Kansas has been a horrible passenger
on the roller coaster ride of momentum, and if they can resist throwing the game away in one or two plays,
they can keep this game close. Just keep things interesting.
QUESTION MARKS
Starting the year, Kansas football players and coaches made sure to
provide clear distinctions between this years team and last years team.
Right now, fans havent seen much of a difference. A loss here not only
buries players hope of bowl eligibility, but allows fans another reason
to believe that Kansas hasnt taken any signicant steps as a football
program since Charlie Weis arrived. Can Kansas give the fans a reason
to think that this year is distinguishable from last year?
Te No. 22 Jayhawks took down
the West Virginia Mountaineers in a
25-15, 25-18, 25-19 sweep last night
at the Horejsi Athletic Center.
Te Jayhawks have swept ten
teams this season and four have
been against Big 12 Conference
teams. Te Jayhawks worked hard
for these sweeps and the senior
leadership was the key, said head
coach Ray Bechard.
In the second set, junior outside
hitter Chelsea Albers passed a hard
hit ball down the right baseline,
which was her frst dig of the game
and her 200th dig of the season. Al-
bers ended the game with fve digs.
Albers is now part of the 200
kills and 200 digs club this season.
Albers is the frst player to accom-
plish the 200/200 season since 2011,
where Allison Mayfeld posted hers.
Im more well known to be an
ofensive threat, but my passing is a
bigger skill that I need to work on,
Albers said. I take pride in both of
my games, but my passing has im-
proved a lot and I take a lot of pride
in that.
Albers, who was named the Big 12
Conference defensive player of the
week on Oct. 21, recorded a statistic
in almost every volleyball catego-
ryhitting, blocking and passing.
Albers brings value to the Jayhawks,
said coach Bechard.
A right side that can block balls,
attack, serve, pass and dig is very
valuable, Bechard said. When she
is passing at a high level, her game
really elevates.
For a volleyball player to be an
all around player, it requires a lot
of skill. Albers has that skill, which
allows her to barely ever leave the
court.
I have worked hard to improve
myself as a well rounded six rota-
tion player, Albers said.
Albers has had a lot of success this
whole season, but redshirt senior
outside hitter Catherine Carmichael
started her success the last time the
Jayhawks played the Mountaineers.
Last night, Carmichael recorded
just eight kills, but she played well,
said Bechard. Carmichael, who
came to Kansas freshman year not
playing much volleyball, has re-
corded 65 kills since becoming the
starter on Oct. 19 against West Vir-
ginia.
I feel like Im playing pretty well,
Carmichael said. Everyone has
their ups and downs, but when you
come in and you have a team that
knows how to work together, were
a mature and older team and we
know how to play together and that
works in our favor.
Carmichael, being a redshirt se-
nior, had a hard time not starting
from the beginning of the season.
It was tough, Im not going to
say it was not, Carmichael said.
Tings dont always go your way,
but when they do, you go in and
give it your best. When they dont,
you turn and cheer your team on.
Carmichaels success comes from
her hard work in practice and being
patient while waiting for her time to
play.
My goal everyday is to come into
practice and work hard and thats
what I do, Carmichael said. When
your role is to play, you play. And
when your role is to cheer on the
team, you cheer on the team.
Te team switched the rotation
from sophomore outside hitter Tia-
na Dockery to Carmichael since the
Jayhawks played in Morgantown,
W. Va. Carmichael provides the
team with some abilities that Dock-
ery couldnt bring.
Cathy (Carmichael) can hit high
and hit over people, Bechard said.
She place the ball line well and she
is as physical blocker on the lef side
as there is in the Big 12.

GEORGE MULLINIX /KANSAN
Sporting Kansas City midelder Graham Zusi celebrates with fans at Sporting Park
during Sportings 3-1 win against the New England Revolution on Wednesday.
Sporting Kansas City entered the
night trailing the New England
Revolution 2-1 in the aggregate.
New England defeated Sporting
2-1 in their previous matchup.
Sporting, being a defensive-mind-
ed squad, came into last nights
matchup with caution on their
minds. A one goal diferential was
all Sporting needed to force over-
time.
Te scoreless tie was broken in
the 41st minute on a rebounded
goal from Sportings defensemen,
Aurelien Collin. Forward Domi-
nic Dwyer crossed the ball into the
box and the ball rebounded of the
goalies hands, landing right at the
feet of Collin. Collin fnished and
tied the aggregate at two goals per
team.
Te frst half ended with Sporting
leading not only in goals, but also
in possession and shots on goal.
Sporting completely dominated the
frst half.
Te Revolution came out of the
locker room afer the frst half with
a more aggressive style of play, but
they still seemed to be a step be-
hind. Sportings defense remained
razor sharp.
In the 68th minute, New England
was fnally able to break through.
A foul was called on Sporting de-
fenseman Matt Besler, giving New
England a free kick. New England
midfelder Kelyn Rowe served
the ball into the box, where it was
fnished by forward Dimitry Im-
bongo, giving the Revolution a 3-2
lead in the aggregate. Sportings de-
fenseman Seth Sinovic scored the
second goal of the night in the 79th
minute.
As full time ended, the aggregate
score remained 3-3, sending the
game into overtime.
Te frst overtime period began
with both teams trading possession
back and forth. In the 96th minute,
Sportings Paulo Nagamura was
subbed out for forward Soony Saad
to add ofensive pressure. Te two
teams remained locked up for the
aggregate 3-3 at the end of the frst
overtime period.
Te fnal overtime period started
out like the frst half did; Sporting
was in possession and they were
moving up the feld fast. Sporting
was fnally able to break the aggre-
gate tie in the 113th minute of the
game. Claudio Bieler took the pin-
point pass from Benny Feilhaber
and fnished with just seven min-
utes lef of play. Head coach Peter
Vermes decision to put an extra
attacker certainly paid of.
Sporting KC was able to over-
come a one-goal aggregate defcit
and power past the New England
Revolution 3-1, with the aggregate
fnal score of 4-3. Sporting domi-
nated possession the entire game
and played the game they wanted
to play. Te defense was strong,
the midfeld play was efcient and
the forwards fnished when they
had to. Sporting KC will host the
Houston Dynamo in the Eastern
Conference Finals, November 23rd
at Sporting Park. Sporting will look
to advance to the MLS cup for the
frst time since 2004.

COMMENTARY
Students, media
wait for Wiggins
to excel
Te gold ink from the pen swirls
over the glossy cover of another
crisp copy of Sports Illustrated.
Andrew Wiggins is signing
autographs afer a 9 a.m. open
practice attended by more than
10,000 Kansas faithfuls.
Te cover that he autographs
at least 50 times features a
photo of the freshman wedged
directly between two of the most
dominant players to ever play
college basketball. From Wilt...to
Manning...to Wiggins it reads.
Bill Self had no reservations
when SI approached him with the
story pitch, though he didnt know
then what the cover would look
like or how much it would help
fuel the unimaginable hype.
Maybe I should try to shelter
him more, but I still think the best
way to prepare him is to prepare
him by having him live and go
through it, Self said at Big 12
media day in Kansas City, Mo.
Te hype is impossible to hide
from at this point. Later in the
day at the Sprint Center, reporters
surrounded a table where Wiggins
sat alongside three teammates.
Reporters and photographers
discussed how to handle all of
the questions coming at one time.
Naadir Tarpe, Tarik Black and
Perry Ellis all sat down at the the
table. Te media was informed
that Wiggins was busy doing an
interview with ESPN, but would
be along shortly.
Afer a few rounds of question,s a
man with a camera on his shoulder
asked, Andrew, we obviously hear
about the hype with the program
nationally, but whats the buzz like
in Lawrence with the students?
Te three players looked
confused, before Tarpe fnally
answered, Well, students love
him, of course...Im as excited that
hes here just as much as the fans
are.
Te man posed another question,
again addressing Wiggins, who
wasnt present.
Tats when Tarick Black realized
the reporter thought he was
Wiggins.
Whoa, hes not here right now,
my dude, Black said.
Sports Illustrated isnt the only
magazine to feature Wiggins.
ESPN Te Magazine and USA
Today featured him on the
cover of their college basketball
previews. Te young star has also
been featured in GQ, Slam and
newspapers worldwide.
A reporter from the Canadian
television station TSN interviewed
Wiggins afer the exhibition game
against Pittsburg State. Wiggins
is from a suburb of Toronto, and
Canadians will be able to watch
every Kansas game this season on
the network.
He hasnt asked for any of it,
Self said, at the podium in front
of the media at the Sprint Center.
If you talk to him hes about as
humble and low-key of a guy that
defects attention as anybody Ive
ever been around. Its not fair,
because hes not that. I dont even
know of one player that I can think
of that hes like. Hes just Andrew.
Wiggins has shrugged of the
comparisons for the most part, at
least in front of the media.
Hes still an 18-year-old whose
favorite player is Kevin Durant,
and though hes fattered by the
comparisons to the players hes
been mentioned with, he doesnt
think hes earned it yet.
Tose are the best players in
the world right now and Im still
in college, Wiggins said. I think
its really unfair to compare me to
someone of that caliber. Hopefully,
one day I can be compared to
them, but I have a
long way to go.
Te most likely
place to fnd
Wiggins of the
court is in his
apartment playing
Call of Duty and
listening to Drake
or Kendrick Lamar.
Junior point guard Naadir
Tarpe said if his face wasnt in
magazines and on the internet, it
would be hard to tell he was the
top-ranked player in the country
coming out of high school.
In one of Wiggins frst ofcial
practices at Kansas, he drove the
baseline and launched into the
air with his head at rim level as
he slammed the ball through with
ease.
Tarpe describes Wiggins as
laid-back, goofy and even clumsy
at times.
Another day afer practice,
most of the team was cleaning up
and getting ready to leave when
Wiggins ambled over to take a
shower.
My man is about to get into
the shower with his ankle braces
on. He walks all the way to the
showers and then turns back,
like I forgot my ankle braces,
Tarpe said, laughing along with
teammate Tarik Black.
Tats just who he is, Tarpe
said. He doesnt try to show out,
hes just always himself all the
time.
Wiggins wasnt expected to
choose Kansas over Kentucky
or Florida State by most media
outlets.
But Kansas felt like the best ft for
him. Te question ofen asked by
reporters is, Why Kansas? and
the answer is always the same. Te
team felt like a unit. No one person
is valued any more or any less by
the rest of the group.
When I came on my visit, it just
kind of caught my heart, Wiggins
said, while sitting on James
Naismith Court during Kansas
basketball Media Day. Tis is
where I felt I belong. Te team is
just one unit, no one is really lef
out. I felt more at home here than
anywhere else.
Back in Kansas City, the Big
12 preseason player of the year,
Oklahoma State guard Marcus
Smart, and the freshman of the
year, Wiggins, stand side-by-side.
"I wouldn't say he is overrated,"
Smart told USA Today a few days
earlier. "I would just say there
is a lot of pressure on him right
now. He is under a microscope
from the world that is bigger than
anybody would think, bigger than
he knows. Whatever he does will
be magnifed times a million, just
because of the hype. Whatever he
says, does, however he acts."
Together they pose for a
photographer without saying a
word to each other on the court
at the Sprint Center, where the
two of them
could meet
again in March
for the Big 12
Championship
game.
Smarts jaw is
clenched, his
chin up and
hands ready. He
looks like a boxer at the weigh-in
of a heavyweight title fght.
Wiggins looks more like a kid
being asked to pose for a photo on
the frst day of school. His hands in
his pockets, a sheepish grin on his
face and a black tie that is a couple
inches too short.
"I know if it was me," Smart said
later in the day, "don't just give
it to me. At least make me earn
it. All the hype, good for him.
Congratulations to him, don't get
me wrong. I'm not taking anything
away from Andrew Wiggins,
anything like that. He's a good
player. I hope he does well."
Te expectations that have
been placed on Wiggins are
nearly unprecedented in college
basketball.
Te target on his back when
he steps on the court against the
best players at the college level,
intensifes among media members,
autograph seekers and whoever
else thinks he could be valuable to
them.
It could wear him down, Self
said. All the great players deal
with crap and all the great players
deal with expectations, time
demands and all that stuf. Hes
dealing with that at an earlier age
than most. But its also preparation
too. He cant live up to the hype. Its
impossible...But should we expect
him to be great? Yes, we should.
Self said he will begin to limit
Wiggins media appearances.
Tere are times, afer thirty
minutes of questions, that Wiggins
has grown quiet and limited
answers to one or two words. But
if any of the hype has worn him
down, he hasnt made it obvious.
As he sat in Allen Fieldhouse
that morning in September, he
contemplated what it would be like
to avoid the hype.
I dont mind it, Wiggins said.
If I had the choice to not do it, I
might not, but I dont know.
Wiggins feels the weight of the
expectations, but in the end he
believes it will only strengthen
him.
Teres pressure, Wiggins
said, but for me its motivating
pressure. People give me big shoes
to fll and Im just doing my best to
fll them.

Wiggins has been featured in GQ, Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, USA Today and many newspaper and TV stations.
Despite media frenzy,
Wiggins stays grounded
HYPED,
BUT
HUMBLE
Andrew Wiggins, freshman guard, dunks during the Pittsburg State exhibition game on Oct. 29. He faces extremely high expectations and a lot of pressure to perform on the court this season.
S
ports Illustrated. ESPN
Te Magazine. GQ.
All feature Kansas to
start the college basketball
season. OK, theyre featuring
one player, but the letters K-A-
N-S-A-S stand across his chest.
Welcome to the 2013-2014
season, where fans and the
media alike expect Andrew
Wiggins to do something great.
Teyre just not sure what it is.
Afer attending a practice this
year, ESPNs Jef Goodman
questioned Wiggins hype and
quoted NBA scouts who werent
so sure about Wiggins sure-
thing No.1 pick status.
CBSSports.coms college
basketball columnist Gary
Parrish wrote a column
anointing Wiggins as their
preseason pick for National
Player of the Year, and you cant
blame them for it.
Oh, and theres Sports
Illustrated, ESPN Te Magazine
and GQ.
Te exhibition games are over.
Te season starts Friday against
Louisiana Monroe. Te real
season starts Nov. 12 against
Duke in Chicago.
So here we are, on the cusp
of the most anticipated Kansas
basketball season in years and
no one knows what they want
out of the player theyre most
excited about. Sure, students
and fans want a championship
or a fnal four berth, but this
isnt about the team in March.
Tis is about an all-everything
player in early November with
who-knows-what expectations.
Its so easy to want something
great out of a player, but
Andrew Wiggins isnt going to
be a college Kevin Durant. He
isnt going to score ga-ga points
a game and shoot his team to
success or failure. Hes playing
in a system that gets every
player on the court involved,
that gets the ball inside for high
percentage shots.
Last season Ben McLemore
led Kansas with 16.4 points per
game. He did this shooting just
over 50 percent from the feld
and 43 percent from the three.
Tose numbers are absurdly
good and dont forget his
dunks, either.
Tere was Sports
Illustrated. Tere was ESPN.
Understandably, there wasnt
any GQ. Its easy to forget how
talented Mr. McLemore was.
Yet McLemore earned
a reputation for not
being assertive enough
or disappearing at times.
Expectations were even high for
the teams best player last year.
Te fact of the matter is
Wiggins may not be a better
college basketball player than
McLemore. He certainly has a
chance to be, but its not certain
he will be. Yes, theyre two
diferent players. McLemore
thrived shooting the three while
Wiggins is likely to be a slasher
and attention grabber.
Tis isnt to discredit
Wiggins at all. Its impossible
to quantify his efect on the
team and no one knows just
what hell do. But thats part of
the excitement. Tere will be
fashes of greatness and lulls of
freshmanitis. Its only natural.
With a basketball season
approaching, its easy to ask,
How good is he?
How about a diferent
question: What do you want
from the guy?

GAME REVIEWS
STANDARD OF SUCCESS
2011 2005
Relive Kansas clinching the Big 12 title
Te Jayhawks fnished with 24
turnovers, shot 28.6 percent from
three and 43.6 percent from the
feld, had 26 personal fouls and a
fagrant one by Marcus Morris.
But they won.
Tat was defnitely a toughness
win, Tyrel Reed said. Missouris a
great team. Hasnt lost at home this
year.
Tough, maybe. Ugly, defnitely.
But the Jayhawks won. In spite of
the turnovers, and in spite of nearly
blowing a 15-point lead in the fnal
four minutes, Kansas won.
If this was an artistic, pretty
game, Self said, then it probably
wouldnt beneft us very much.
Judging by the last two games, the
Jayhawks have fgured out that even
when their shots arent falling they
still have to play defense. Before the
Texas A&M game, Kansas had shot
worse than 50 percent four times in
conference play: two were losses,
to Texas and Kansas State, and two
were victories, by fve points or less,
to teams with losing records in Big
12 play.
Tere was an obvious blueprint to
beating the Jayhawks, and it started
with stifing their ofense. But in
the last two games, Kansas has shot
worse than 50 percent against two
ranked teams and has come away
with victories in each.
Tat change starts with the Jay-
hawks own defense, much ma-
ligned this season by coach Bill
Self, which has taken a turn for the
better under new point guard Eli-
jah Johnson.
Well talk about how poorly we
played this week, Self said, but we
actually guarded better the last two
games.
Johnson, who Self has previously
said has played the best point guard
defense the team has had this year,
was the only Jayhawk to play dou-
ble fgure minutes (he played 26)
and fnish with zero turnovers.
Johnsons defense has earned him
a late-in-the-season promotion to
the starting spot, and he said hes
changing the mentality of the team.
It was evident early on, when he
was subbed out with a 9-4 lead. Te
Tigers promptly went on a 10-2
run, which ended on Johnsons frst
possession back in the game.
I dont want to take full cred-
it for it, Johnson said. I just feel
like I kind of rile people up, and say
some things that theyre not used
to hearing to make them want to
play.
Johnson said he was surprised the
team could win in spite of turning
the ball over so many times, but
that they couldnt aford to keep
doing it.
Every teams not Missouri, he
said, so weve got to take care of
the ball.
Kansas still has one major faw
lef unresolved: the Jayhawks pen-
chant for stupid fouls fared up
again in Missouri. Marcus Morris,
who fnished with 21 points and 10
rebounds, picked up a fagrant foul
late in the second half that helped
ignite Missouris late run. Tomas
Robinson, who fnished with 15
and 13, started jawing with the Ti-
gers afer a basket and foul before
Johnson got in his face and calmed
him down.
Tats my point guard, Robin-
son said, coming in and calming
me down.
Looks like Johnson will be every
Jayhawks point guard for the rest
of the year.

Way back in October, coach
Bill Self straddled a motorcycle at
center court in Allen Fieldhouse
in front of a packed house for
Late Night in the Phog. He gave a
short cookie-cutter speech about
the of-season, thanked the fans
for showing up and supporting
the team, and rode of the court
with one piece of advice: Enjoy
the ride.
It didnt seem like coach speak
because at the time, the Jayhawks
faced more question marks than
any Kansas team in recent mem-
ory. Freshmen Jamari Traylor and
Ben McLemore were ruled ineli-
gible for the season and a so-so re-
cruiting year by Kansas standards
lef the team without its usual
deep pool of talent to draw from.
Even when we started out one-
and-two in the league, you could
look out there and see Chalmers
and Rush and Wright and those
other cats, theyre pretty good. Itll
be just be a matter of time before
the light comes on, Self said afer
beating Missouri last Saturday to
clinch a share of the Big 12 regular
season title. I didnt know if the
light would come on. I didnt even
know if it would ficker afer early
in the season.
A Dec. 19 loss to Davidson in
Kansas City raised more doubts
about an eighth straight Big 12
championship and Self said that
heading into Christmas, he and
his players didnt really like each
other. He even questioned if the
players liked one another.
Tey rattled of 10 straight vic-
tories afer the Davidson game
with a bump in the road at Iowa
State on Jan. 28 and a tough loss at
Missouri a week later.
Tats been it though at least
for now and the outright con-
ference title was clinched Monday
night against Oklahoma State.
It feels amazing because a lot of
people didnt think we would be
this good this year, senior guard
Tyshawn Taylor said Monday
night. I think if you asked us at
the beginning of the year, our goal
is to always win the Big 12 Cham-
pionship.
Tomas Robinson said he didnt
want the run of seven straight
conference titles to end on his
watch and he had plenty of smiles
afer continuing the streak.
We got eight baby, we got
eight, Robinson said on Monday.
Tis one feels good, too.
Te trophy was presented to the
team in the visitors locker room
Monday night and it will proba-
bly make another appearance for
senior night festivities Saturday
night in Allen Fieldhouse.
Te one thing about our play-
ers is, just because the roster
changes, the expectations dont,
Self said. And they committed to
it. Teyve amazed me, to be real
candid.
2012
2010
KORY CARPENTER
WACO, TEXAS Oklahoma
State, the origin of Kansas three-
game losing streak that nearly cost
the Jayhawks a share of the confer-
ence title, proved to be the reason
Kansas is a Big 12 champion for the
ninth straight time.
Te Cowboys defeated Kansas
State 76-70 earlier Saturday, and
Kansas entered its tilt with Baylor
knowing that it had already secured
at least a share of the conference ti-
tle.
A share was all the Jayhawks got,
as Baylor controlled most of the
game in an 81-58 shellacking of
Kansas.
It doesnt feel like we won it at
all, really, senior center Jef Withey
said. We tied with K-State and its
cool to win it obviously. Nine in a
row is huge. It just stinks to lose.
Coach Bill Self thought his team
would relax and play loose know-
ing the Wildcats had lost earlier in
the day. If Kansas State had won,
Self said the matchup with Baylor
would have been equivalent to an
NCAA Tournament game because a
loss would have ended Kansas title
streak.
Im not going to ever apologize
for winning a league champion-
ship, Self said. Im not happy. Im a
lot happier than I would be if it was
diferent and we fnished second.
Withey said Kansas briefy talk-
ed about already clinching a share
of the championship in the locker
room before the game, which might
have afected the Jayhawks focus
without them realizing it.
When the game started though,
it briefy looked like Kansas might
play cohesively enough to grab an
outright conference title. Freshman
guard Ben McLemore scored the
games frst points on a layup fve
seconds into the game.
When Baylor came back and tied
it about 40 seconds later on a Cory
Jeferson jumper, Kansas never led
again.
Jeferson and Pierre Jackson led
Baylor with identical 11-13 shoot-
ing nights. Jackson had 28 points,
and Jeferson had 25, including two
one-handed slams over Withey in
the frst half. He also displayed a
long-range shooting touch no one
had seen before.
Te junior forward made his frst
career 3-pointer midway through
the frst half and then made anoth-
er shortly before halfime. He made
his third 3-pointer early in the sec-
ond half.
I wasnt expecting him to shoot
threes like that, Withey said. I
know Cory pretty well because I
played overseas with him. I nev-
er saw that part of him. He played
great.
Midway through the second half,
a Jeferson jumper gave Baylor a
17-point lead. Ten, McLemore and
freshman forward Perry Ellis scored
11 straight points to slice the margin
to 61-55, the closest the game had
been in almost 12 minutes.
Te run was ftting, because Mc-
Lemore led Kansas with 23 points,
and Ellis was second with 12. But
whereas Jeferson and Jackson re-
ceived help from their supporting
cast, McLemore and Ellis got little
help from theirs.
Senior guard Elijah Johnson was
the only other Jayhawk in double
fgures, fnishing with 10 points.
Freshman center Isaiah Austin and
senior guard A.J. Walton comple-
mented Jackson and Jeferson with
11 and 12 points, respectively.
Afer Baylor coach Scott Drew
called timeout with his teams lead
cut to six, the Bears responded with
a 9-0 run from four diferent play-
ers. Te lead never dipped below 13
points again.
Tat was the whole theme of the
night, Withey said. I felt like every
time we were doing something good
they were just doing something bet-
ter.
Jackson closed out the scoring
with a breakaway layup with one
minute lef and Baylor outscored
Kansas 12-0 in transition. Te
23-point loss was Kansas worst
defeat since losing by 25 points to
Texas in 2006.
Jeferson and Jacksons combined
53 points were identical to the 53
scored by Oklahoma States Marcus
Smart and Markel Brown on 17-34
shooting in the Cowboys victory
over Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse in
early February.
Self said the two Bears perfor-
mances might have been more
impressive than Oklahoma States
performance in Lawrence because
of Jackson and Jefersons efciency
shooting the ball.
Tey (Brown and Smart) were
good, too, but they didnt go 22-
26, Self said. Corys performance
wasnt a surprise because you knew
hes a good player and he could
score. Te way he scored was kind
of a surprise.

2008
Tis years recruiting class
features Andrew Wiggins, the top
recruit in the country; Joel Embiid,
a seven-footer from Cameroon;
and McDonalds All-American
Wayne Selden. Just dont overlook
the other players that round out the
second-best recruiting class in the
nation, according to ESPN.
Freshman guards Conner
Frankamp, Brannen Greene and
Frank Mason provide depth to the
guard position that Kansas lacked
last season. Each player averaged
more than 25 points per game their
senior years in high school and
each brings diferent skills to the
program.
Now the owner of the Wichita
City League scoring record,
Frankamp is a 6-foot point guard
known for putting up points in a
hurry. Ranked No. 34 overall by
Rivals.com, Frankamp averaged
more than 31 points per game
in his senior season at Wichita
North High School highlighted by
a 52 percent three-point feld goal
percentage.
If theres somebody who shoots
it better, Id like to see it, Self said,
because he can shoot it maybe as
well as anyone we have had here.
Frankamp knows high school is
vastly diferent from college where
defenders are taller and more
physical. Accepting that he wont
attempt as many shots while at
Kansas, he emphasized knocking
down open shots when he has
them.
I feel like I was pretty accurate
in high school, Frankamp said. I
just got to bring that to the college
level.
Also an accurate shooter, 6-foot-
7-inch Greene brings an all-around
game to the squad along with the
unusual combination of size and
long-range shooting. He averaged
27 points, nine rebounds, six assists
and two steals per game to go
along with a 91 percent free throw
percentage.
Greene describes himself as
primarily a shooter, but capable of
contributing in multiple ways. He
said he is comfortable playing as a
shooting guard or small forward.
I handle the ball pretty well for
my height, Greene said. Im a
versatile player.
Greene was ranked No. 29 in the
nation according to Rivals.com.
Self said he would be a headliner in
any other recruiting class.
He's big, Self said. He's 6-foot-
7 with great range and vision and
good ball skills.
Known for his gritty defense and
ball-handling abilities, Mason is a
physical guard capable of driving
the lane and knocking down the
open three. He averaged more than
27 points per game his senior year.
Mason said his primary
responsibilities at Kansas are to be
a pit bull on the ball, guard anyone
and lead the team.
Mason, ranked No. 76 according
to Rivals.com, will likely see the
most playing time of this threesome,
acting as the backup point guard to
junior Naadir Tarpe.
"Tere is no question Frank can
push Naadir and Naadir knows
that, Self said. Frank is talented,
he's tough and he's a pit bull,
probably as tough as anybody we
have.
You may not see these players
on the court a lot this season, but
expect to hear their names ofen
throughout their Kansas careers.

CONNER FRANKAMP averaged more than 14 points a game at the FIBA
World Championships for the U17 USA Basketball team in the summer of
2012, where the Americans won gold.
Joel Embiid, a freshman center from Cameroon, was a highly touted recruit. Embiids background in volleyball benets him on

WHAT ARE THE EXPERTS SAYING?
WHATS THE WORD?
Simply put, Wiggins isnt a media-created sensation. He really
is a unique talent.
Gary Parrish
CBS SPORTS
Kansas fans, be patient. Considering Selfs history, theres no
reason to believe it wont pay off in the end.
Jason King
ESPN
Kansas has three potential top-10 picks in Andrew Wiggins, Wayne Selden
and Joel Embiid. Plus, some solid veterans in Perry Ellis, Naadir Tharpe and
transfer Tarik Black. I saw the Jayhawks practice in Lawrence, Kan., last
week, and Im convinced that theyll be the [Kentucky] Wildcats biggest
threat in the hunt for the national title.
Myron Medcalf
ESPN
Because of Andrew Wiggins versatility, I am putting the Jayhawks
in the top 10 [backcourts]. Naadir Tharpe will log more minutes and
should excel with greater responsibility. Wayne Selden Jr. and Conner
Frankamp are other diaper dandies to watch.
Dick Vitale
ESPN
For someone who has only been playing for a year and a half, Embiid
knows how to operate in the post, in terms of getting position and turning
to the basket. While some might see that as effective training, Embiid is
actually self-taught when it comes to back-to-the-basket moves.
Jeff Borzello
CBS SPORTS
Not an explosive athlete, Frankamp just nds a way to get things done.
He is a big time scorer on the perimeter as he can get hot in a hurry from
three, and then also has enough to him off the dribble to keep defenders
honest. His savvy with the basketball is impressive and allows him to
create despite not being super explosive or athletic.
Scout.com
The bigger question surrounding the Jayhawks should be who is going to
emerge as KUs other star. Bill Selfs offense has traditionally either been
extremely balanced or had two players dominate the scoring. Only once in
Selfs 10 seasons at KU has someone averaged more than 20 points per
gameWayne Simien in 2005and even that season, Keith Langford
averaged 14.1.
C.J. Moore
BLEACHER REPORT
Expectations are enormous every year for Kansas, where lottery picks
replace lottery picks and where the word rebuilding is left to, ahem,
other Big 12 powers. But Self knows what he has on his roster; his
request for fans patience comes embedded with the knowledge that the
Jayhawks could be downright nasty next February and March.
Sports Illustrated
While much of the attention this coming season will fall on [the] shoulders of freshman Andrew Wiggins, the nations No. 1 recruit in 2013, Self
has a cadre of outstanding young talent. Perry Ellis, a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward, should pick up where he left off last season, making the Big 12
all-tournament team. And though freshmen Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid may not be on a one-and-done path, few expect them to be at Kansas all
four seasons. They are that talented.

FRESHMAN
Embiid emulates
All-Stars style
Freshman center Joel Embiid (21) studies legendary NBA All-Star Hakeem Olajuwons moves to improve his own performance on the court. The two players have similar
backgrounds that led them to basketball.
Te most experienced player on
the Kansas roster has yet to play an
ofcial game for the Jayhawks.
Senior forward Tarik Black
transferred to Kansas afer three
seasons at Memphis, where
he averaged 8.1 points and 4.8
rebounds per game last season.
Black is an athletic 6-foot-9-inch
center who struggled to live up to
high expectations at Memphis.
When Black graduated in three
years and announced his plans
to transfer in his fnal year of
eligibility, coach Bill Self knew
he would be a valuable asset to
what would be a young group of
forwards.
When coach Self recruited me
he told me I dont care if youre new
to the program or not, youre going
to have to come in and be a leader
for me, Black said.
Self needed a leader and Black
welcomed the chance to fulfll
his dreams of playing on college
basketballs biggest stage. It was a
perfect ft.
Ive always been kind of like a
subtle guy, not too extravagant,
not too famboyant, but at the
same time Ive always liked being a
high-caliber person and thats how
Kansas functions, Black said on the
day before his frst appearance as a
Jayhawk. Teir humbleness, but
also their expectancy of greatness.
Put that together and its the perfect
place for me, Black said.
Black knows how important this
season could be for him. Not only
is it his last opportunity to play on
a big stage, but it is his fnal season
to prove himself as an NBA talent.
Te irony for him, however, is
the relief he feels in making the
adjustment to Kansas, afer leaving
his hometown of Memphis.
Being able to be out there with
my teammates, we laugh so much,
we have fun together, Black said.
Tis thing is bigger than basketball
to us. Were family. We dont say
that for no reason, we really are a
family. All of the accolades, that
will come, just how hard we work
and the talent we have, well put
things together and put all of this
stuf in coach Self s hands.
One of Blacks most important
jobs in his new family is being a
role model for freshman center Joel
Embiid, carrying the load at center
while Embiid continues to develop
his game.
Self said that Black is the most
mature player on the team and has
helped all of the young players on
the roster improve their games.
Black understands that once
Embiid becomes more adept, Self
will be taking some playing time
away from Black. But Self said Black
does what is best for the team.
Every time Joel hits him, he lets
him know thats what you need to
be doing, good job, Self said. I
dont know if Joel says that to Tarik
when Tarik hits him, but certainly
Tarik likes to see a guy compete
against him like that.
Embiid has noticed the
competition improving his game,
even in the short time that theyve
practiced together this season.
Hes a man, Embiid said. Im
getting better playing against him.
Tere is no shortcut to building
team chemistry. But it starts in
practice, and Black is focused on
improving his teammates and the
way they play together.
He said Self hasnt cut them
any slack as theyve adjusted and
learned the system.
Practice is tough, but were
preparing to be great, Black said.
We dont want to fall short.

Teres a video that Kansas fresh-
man Joel Embiid owns and no mat-
ter how many times he watches hes
still amazed.
Its not a thriller or an Oscar-win-
ner although the videos star has
certainly earned his fair share of
awards. Its footage of NBA All-Star
center Hakeem Olajuwons playing
days, and Embiid cant look away.
Youll see him watching it while
eating lunch at the Underground,
or afer practice, to remind him-
self how much harder he needs to
work.
Embiids eyes never stray from
the Houston legend. Hes studying
how Olajuwon sets his feet in the
paint, how he dips his shoulder and
where he places the ball before at-
tacking the rim. He focuses on his
hero blocking shots from all an-
gles. And, of course, hes breaking
down Olajuwons patented Dream
Shake, rewinding the clip to see
how its done.
I watch it almost every night,
Embiid said. I watch all of his
moves. Im learning it.
Its no surprise when coaches and
scouts alike compare Embiid to his
idol. Ask him to think of basketball
and he conjures images of Olaju-
won bullying his way to the rim.
Ask coach Bill Self what he sees
in Embiid and the answer wont be
too far of.
Watch Joel play and youll say
hes got unbelievable feet, Self
said at the start of the season. He
reminds me of Olajuwon early in
his career. Im not saying that hes
Olajuwon at all, but there are sim-
ilarities.
More similarities than youd
think.
Neither Olajuwon nor Embiid
touched a basketball before the age
of 15. Both were preoccupied with
soccer as kids, although Embiid
soon moved onto volleyball the
national sport of his native Cam-
eroon.
Yet, between running drills and
scrimmaging, Embiid would palm
the volleyball, turn and fre shots
at the rim that hung in the prac-
tice gym. His feld goal percentage
might not have gotten him looks
from local teams, but his 7-foot
frame sure did. At 16 years old,
coaches made sure Embiid had the
right ball to shoot with.
Tis is how Olajuwon entered his
life.
When I frst started playing bas-
ketball, my frst coach gave me that
video to watch, Embiid said.
Embiid saw the life he could have.
He saw the packed arenas, high-fy-
ing athletes and the stardom and
adoration they received. More than
anything, Embiid saw an African
like himself creating a roadmap to
bring others to the United States
through basketball.
Tat map has brought him to
Kansas, where Embiid is closer to
reaching his dream than ever. NBA
draf boards have already projected
him as a lottery pick in the 2014
class. While hes still a Jayhawk,
Bill Self has a way, and a person, to
make it happen.
Jojo has a lot of talent, senior
transfer Tarik Black said. Jojo can
be as good as he wants to be. Its my
job to help him mature in his game,
understand a couple of things, and
just help him with the little things
on the court to make him that
much better of a player.
As Black helps to mature Embiids
game, Embiid is quickly learning
about the increased physicality at
the college level. As the freshman
puts it, he doesnt like to bang. Its
up to Black to teach him how.
Hes got a long way to go from
a strength and toughness stand-
point, Self said. But he moves in
a way that very few big guys can.
Its not just Black who Embiid
credits with helping to expedite his
growth. Its the entire crew of bigs
at Kansas, and hes watching them
with the same intensity that he
studies Olajuwon.
Its the culture of developing big
men that Self created which has
brought Embiid to Lawrence. Its
names like Jef Withey, Tomas
Robinson, the Morris Twins and
Cole Aldrich that he hopes to have
his mentioned with.
More than anything, its the video
of Olajuwon and the steps Embiid
must take to come close to his level.
Tats why Kansas is such a good
place for me, Embiid said. Tey
have Perry Ellis, Tarik Black, Ja-
mari Traylor, Landen Lucas. I get
to play against them every practice.
Ill get better.

CHEMISTRY
T
he ceiling for this Kansas
team is undoubtedly high
for a variety of reasons.
However, with fve new start-
ers and a handful of freshmen
receiving substantial minutes, the
Jayhawks could struggle at times
this season. Coach Bill Self looked
at the programs recent success to
address the issue.
We have had some pretty good
teams, Self said. You stop and
think about the last seven years, I
think our teams have averaged 33
wins a year.
But this season is diferent from
previous years. Typically, Kansas
relies heavily on veterans and plays
a non-conference schedule that
is by no means easy, but isnt the
most difcult either.
Taking a glance at this years
team and schedule, you will
discover that an extremely young
squad is taking on one of the
toughest if not the toughest
schedules in the country.
If this team got to 33 wins, it
would be an unbelievable year
considering how difcult the
schedule is, Self said.
For comparison, the team that
won the national championship
in 2008 won 37 games, while last
years senior-led squad won 31
games.
Growing pains will surely show
for this young team, but how ob-
vious they are will tell a lot. Heres
a look at what you can expect this
season if the team reaches its ceil-
ing, and what to expect if it plays
to its foor. Of course, the actual
results will likely fall in the middle,
but anything is possible.
BEST CASE SCENARIO
Non-conference:
Te team gains chemistry right
away and the freshmen adjust to
the college game quickly as the
Jayhawks head into the conference
schedule with just one loss
probably against Duke or Florida.
Heading in as the favorite, the
team sweeps the Battle 4 Atlantis
and pulls of a huge road win
against Colorado. Te Jayhawks
either defeat Duke in a battle of
the top two incoming recruits: An-
drew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, or
squeak by a ranked Florida team
in Gainesville.
Conference:
Kansas wins 16 conference
games and drops only two. Te
Jayhawks restore order and win
every game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Tey beat the Oklahoma State
Cowboys by 20 at home to get
revenge for last season. Te team
wins every shootout it plays.
Kansas is certainly capable of
beating any team at home or away,
but a couple slip-ups are inevita-
ble. Tey will occur against either
Oklahoma State, Baylor, Iowa
State, Kansas State or Oklahoma.
Big 12 Tournament:
Te Jayhawks win the Big 12
Tournament for the second
consecutive year and back up
their regular season conference
championship in impressive fash-
ion, beating the Cowboys in the
championship game.
NCAA Tournament:
Te Jayhawks win the NCAA
National Championship because
of their depth. Nine players score
in double digits in a game during
the tournament. A top seed or two
lose early on and help ease the
road to the fnal game.
WORST CASE SCENARIO
Non-conference:
Florida and Colorado give the
Jayhawks a lot of trouble on the
road and they fall behind early
and cant recover. Duke wins the
matchup in Chicago and leaves
Kansas winless in the Champions
Classic. Te Tennessee Volunteers,
ranked just outside the Top 25,
defeat the Jayhawks in the champi-
onship of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
New Mexico, ranked 23 in the
preseason Associated Press Poll,
gives the Jayhawks their second
mid season loss at the Sprint
Center in the last three years.
Georgetown fnds a way to edge
the Jayhawks at home. Kansas
will head into Big 12 play with six
losses.
Conference:
Te Jayhawks streak of nine con-
secutive regular season titles will
be snapped.
As some predicted in the presea-
son, the Oklahoma State Cowboys
dethrone the Jayhawks.
Marcus Smart, voted the presea-
son Blue Ribbon National Player
of the Year, shows why he earned
the distinction. Markel Brown
and LeBryan Nash each average
more than 12 points per game. Te
Cowboys sweep the series as they
beat the Jayhawks on their home
foor a second consecutive year.
Kansas takes second place, but
gets a strong push from Baylor
and Iowa State. Cory Jeferson and
Isaiah Austin form the leagues top
post duo. Hilton Magic returns
to Iowa State as returners Melvin
Ejim and Georges Niang lead the
way, along with Division I transfer
DeAndre Kane. Kansas loses to
each team on the road.
Trow in a road loss in which
the team struggles while the other
team thrives of its home crowd
and plays its best game of the
season see the Baylor game last
season. Kansas loses fve confer-
ence games for the frst time in the
Bill Self era.
Big 12 Tournament:
As the two seed, Kansas loses in
the semifnals to either Iowa State
or Baylor.
NCAA Tournament:
Kansas loses in the early rounds
to a team catching fre late in the
season. Te other team sinks 15
three-pointers while the Jayhawks
make just three.

Kansas earns a
one-seed in the
NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks capture their 10th straight Big
12 regular season title.
No backips this year as Kansas goes
undefeated in Allen Fieldhouse for the
second time in four years.
Embiid averaged 8 points and 10 rebounds by
conference play, challenging Tarik Black for
the starting role.
Kansas falls three times on the road in Big 12
play, including once to an unranked team.
Even with the spotlight on Andrew Wiggins and
Marcus Smart, Perry Ellis battles his way to
being named Big 12 Player Of The Year before
entering the NBA Draft.
Andrew Wiggins becomes Kansas second-
leading scorer behind Perry Ellis, but still
leads in highlight-worthy plays.
Five times during the season, Kansas bench
players will outscore its starters.
Scoring isnt all Ellis does as hell go on
to register at least 20 double-doubles this
season, proving himself as the elite leader
Bill Self needs him to be.
Once the scoring starts, it wont stop. The
Jayhawks will register triple digits at least
three times this season with offense stemming
from every player on the roster.

The Baylor Bears didnt really have a chance last season when the team
visited Lawrence, losing to the fourth ranked Jayhawks 61-44. But the
Bears returned the favor at the end of the season, spoiling Kansas chance
of an outright conference championship by destroying the Jayhawks in
Waco 81-58. In that game, senior point guard Pierre Jackson led the Bears
with 28 points and 10 assists.

While the Bears lose their starting point guard and team leader Pierre
Jackson, who averaged 19.8 points and 7.1 assists, the Bears returned
7-foot sophomore center Isaiah Austin and senior forward Cory Jefferson.
Last season Austin was named a second team All-Big 12 pick, while
Jefferson was an honorable mention. The Bears will rely on these two in the
frontcourt to lead the team.

Last season, Kansas State exceeded
expectations and tied for the
conference title in coach Bruce
Webers rst year in Manhattan. To
have another successful season,
K-State has to overcome the losses
of Rodney McGruder to graduation
and Angel Rodriguez, who decided
to transfer after the end of last
season.
McGruder, the leader of last years
squad, and Rodriguez were the
Wildcats two leading scorers.
McGruder averaged 15.6 points per
game and Rodriguez averaged 11.4
points per game, while no other
players averaged double-gures in
points.
Senior Will Spradling will have to
take on more of a leadership role.
Spradling is a three-year starter
from Overland Park. Spradling, ju-
nior Thomas Gipson and freshman
Jevon Thomas, competed interna-
tionally over the summer.
K-state has a class of ve fresh-

com and averaged 18.5 points, 7.1
rebounds and 3.2 assists in high

of the Year his senior year of high
school in Wichita Falls.
K-State was picked to tie for fth
in the Big 12 with Oklahoma by the
coaches in the Big 12 preseason
poll.
The Iowa State Cyclones nished fourth in the conference last season
with an 11-7 Big 12 record. It was their second consecutive season with
double-digit conference wins.

The Jayhawks played in two overtime wins against Iowa State last
season. In the rst matchup at Allen Fieldhouse, Ben McLemore hit a
banked 3-pointer as time expired to send the game into overtime, where
the Jayhawks won 97-89. The away game was an all-time classic.
Elijah Johnson scored a career high 39 points eight of which were
in the last 29 seconds. The Jayhawks beat down Iowa State 108-96 in
overtime.

Last season, the Cyclones had a deep, senior-led team and the key to
Iowa States success was their three-point shooting. Iowa State led the
NCAA in 3-point eld goals attempted and made.

Departing senior Tyrus McGee was a Jayhawk killer last season. In both
games against Kansas, McGee combined for 33 points and 9-16 from
3-point land.

This season, Iowa State will start three new guards, but keep its two big
men: Melvin Ejim and Georges Niang. Also, the Cyclones add four junior
college players and one transfer.

The Cyclones played two tough games against the Jayhawks, and will
be looking for their rst win against Kansas since 2012.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are primed and ready to give Andrew Wiggins and the rest of the Kansas Jayhawks
a run for their money in their run for a 10th straight Big 12 title. The Cowboys are ranked 8th in the pre-season
AP poll. Sophomore point guard Marcus Smart is coming off of an AP All-American season and is hungry to lead
Oklahoma State to its rst Big 12 title since 2004. Smart is not buying into the Andrew Wiggins hype, like the rest
of the country is.
A lot of people are saying hes [Wiggins] the best player in college basketball, Smart said at the Big 12 media
days. Im saying how can you be the best player if its something you havent even played in?
Smart averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his freshman season. He didnt enter the NBA draft
like most had thought he would and decided to come back to Stillwater for his sophomore year.
You can only go to college and be a college athlete once, Smart said. College is a great experience. This is
where you have fun. This is where you nd yourself as a young man and grow up into an adult before you enter the
real world.
Smart may be the Andrew Wiggins of Oklahoma State, but just like Wiggins, he has a strong supporting cast.
Smart is also not the only NBA-ready Cowboy coming back for another shot at the Big 12 title. Senior guard Markel
Brown and junior guard LeBryan Nash are back for one more season at Gallagher-Iba as well. The Cowboys will
rely on junior forward Gary Gaskins, who transferred from Brevard Community College, to provide stability at the
center position. Before Gaskins, the Cowboys lacked frontcourt depth while having an inux of talent at the guard
and wing spots. Only time will tell if Smart and the rest of the Cowboys can stop Kansas from winning their 10th
straight Big 12 title.

The 2012-13 Oklahoma Sooners made
it to the NCAA tournament for the
rst time since 2009. The Sooners are
coming into the 2013-14 season with
higher expectations than last year.
They know that the Big 12 is deep, but
they feel that they are headed in the
right direction. The 2012-13 season
ended poorly for the Sooners. TCU beat
OU for the Horned Frogs second ever
Big 12 victory and the Sooners blew a
12-point lead to Iowa State in Big 12
tournament play.
The Sooners will be relying on sopho-
more guard JeLon Hornbreak to be a
more aggressive scorer this season.
Oklahoma had high expectations for
Hornbreak last season, but he failed
to meet them the freshman only
averaged 5.6 points per game. Ryan
Spangler is a 6-foot-8 sophomore
transfer from Gonzaga. Spangler
will likely be the starting center for
the Sooners and is bringing a lot of
experience. Spangler has large shoes
to ll with the departure of Romero
Osby. Osby was a rst-team All-Big 12
center and was taken 51st overall in
this years NBA draft.
The Sooners are small squad with only
one player that is taller than 6-foot-8.
Sophomore wingman Buddy Hield is
going to be the Sooners go-to play-
maker. Hield only averaged 7.8 points
per game last season, but the Sooners
think he has the athleticism and
skill set to lead the team in scoring.
Hield is the one player on the squad
that can ll the void left by Osby. The
Sooners are projected to nish 5th in
the Big 12 this season.

Last season, TCU was proof that any team in the Big 12 can win on any
given night. With mounting injuries, the Horned Frogs will once again
probably resort to playing the role of spoiler rather than contender.

Junior forward Devonte Abrams tore his Achilles playing with the team up
in Canada. Abrams was expected to pair with top-returner Kyan Anderson
and heralded recruit Karviar Shepherd to assist with coach Trent John-
sons daunting rebuilding task.

Now, junior Amric Fields, coming off a torn ACL last season, will have to
hope his rehabilitation was successful as he steps into a starting role.
Freshman Hudson Price and senior Jarvis Ray will likely ll out the rest of
the starting lineup.

This is a team whose wins will come through tough defense and forcing
mistakes. Offensively, the team represented one of the worst offenses in
Division I. Shepherd and Price will do their best to spark that offense, but
it remains a work in progress.

TCU probably will not be a threat to Kansas in their matchups this year if
Kansas enters the games with the right mentality. But the Horned Frogs
should still improve upon their two conference wins last season.
Ben Ashworth
Last season, Texas had the
youngest roster in all of college
basketball. This year it continues
to be young, as it thought last year
as a transition season to cultivate
younger players into legitimate
rotation players down the road.
However, that took a 180-turn,
when three of Texas players
decided to transfer shortly after the
season.

Texas also lost Myck Kabongo to
the NBA and blossoming forward,
Ioannis Papetrou played so well in
the U-20 European Championship
for Greece that he ended up signing
a deal with a Euroleague team.

Texas struggled mightily to score
last season especially from the
perimeter and really the only
players that can create its own shot
and spark some adequate offense
is its point guard Javan Felix.
That spells trouble as he shot a
wretched 25.5 percent from three-
point range last season.

It can hope for a huge step forward
from former blue-chip recruit
Cameron Ridley, who ashed some
down low ability last season,
but never amounted to anything
noteworthy. Demarcus Holland, the
other guard, has ashed ability to
drive to the hoop, but his shooting
woes have caused defenses to
sag back in the paint daring the
Longhorns to shoot. Other than
that, Texas is going to struggle to
get the ball in the hoop.

This is by far Rick Barnes worst
team as his recruiting has
dwindled, as has his roster. Barnes
has built Texas into something
special, but you could see his
name appear on the hot seat as
the season drags on slowly and
painfully for the Longhorns.

Texas has had a rough period where
the top-recruits have denied Texas
causing them to down spiral into
a much less respectable program.
Losing four of ve sophomores from
last years team wont help. Texas
shouldnt nd rock bottom in the
Big 12 with TCU, West Virginia and
Tech still around, but things will
get awfully rocky in Austin come
February and March.
Connor Oberkrom
The legendary coach led the Red
Raiders to four straight 20-plus
win seasons during his 8-year stint
before stepping down and passing
the coaching duties on to his son,
Pat Knight, in 2008. Since then,
things havent been so pretty for
Raider Basketball, and those years
of success seem far back in the
rearview mirror.

Times have changed in Lubbock.
The Red Raiders have won just four
Big 12 games the past two seasons
under Billy Gillispie and interim
coach Chris Walker.

But new coach Tubby Smith certainly
has the wherewithal to turn the
ship around. He won a national title
at Kentucky in 1998 and made 17
NCAA tournament appearances in
22 seasons, and there are a few
pieces he can play with this year.

The Raiders return four starters
from last years team, including
junior Jordan Tolbert and last years
leading scorer, senior Jaye Crock-
ett. Tubby Smith also added junior
point guard Robert Turner from New
Mexico Junior College, and highly
recruited high school power forward
Alex Foster from Chicago, Illinois.

Sophomore Dusty Hannahs gives
Tech a threat from behind the arc.
He nished 13th in the Big 12 last
year in 3-pointers, hitting about 36
percent of his attempts.

Texas Tech nished the 2012-2013
season at 11-20 and 3-15 in confer-
ence play, just one game ahead of
last placed TCU.

After starting the season, 4-0, aver-
aging over 85 points a game, Tech
lost four of its next ve. The team
had great trouble putting the ball in
the basket; it would only eclipse the
80 point mark in a victory one more
time the rest of the season with an
85-74 score against North Carolina
A&T.

But the Red Raiders rebounded with
two wins before Big 12 play to nish
the non-conference slate at 7-4.

After kicking off the conference sea-
son with a 62-53 win over lowly TCU
in Fort Worth, Tech would lose four
straight, beat Iowa State at home,
then lose nine straight, beat TCU at
home, then lose the last two games
of the season.

The Raiders did surprise in the
Big 12 Tournament, beating West
Virginia 71-69, but their storybook
post-season run came to a screech-
ing halt with a 91-63 defeat at the
hands of Kansas.

Texas Tech needs to improve its
offensive output signicantly if
it wants to be a player in the Big
12. There should be improvement,
which may lead to two or three more
conference wins, but as Tubby Smith
gets a chance to stockpile a few
recruiting classes of his own, Tech
could return to Bob Knight-form in
the next three or four years.

Kansas should handle this game at
home, just from an overwhelming
advantage in talent and depth, but
Lubbock is far from a sure thing. Bill
Self is just 2-3 at the United Spirit
Arena, but on the bright side, those
two wins have come in the past two
years.

With seven new scholarship players on the roster, the West Virginia Mountaineers will have a number of fresh faces
contributing to the team this season.

Leading the crop of newcomers is freshman Devin Williams, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward from Cincinnati, Ohio.
ESPN ranked Williams as a four-star recruit with offers from Memphis and Ohio State. Williams is likely to start for
the Mountaineers, who went 6-12 against Big 12 competition last year.

Coach Bob Huggins had a total of 14 different starting lineups last year with one player who truly stayed consistent
in Deniz Kilicli, who graduated last year. Still, West Virginia has some talent returning, particularly in junior point
guard Juwan Staten and sophomore guard Eron Harris.

Harris led the Mountaineers in scoring last season with 9.8 points per game, while Staten led the team in assists
with 3.3 per game.

While West Virginia should see more consistency with its lineup this year, its still unlikely to make any major Big 12
championship run.

Baylor Bears stick out as Big 12s leading competitor
B

The 2013-14 Baylor Lady Bears come
into the season without the intimidat-
ing presence of Britney Griner, but are
ranked 10th in the NCAA standings.
Once again, they are the favorites to
take home the Big 12 Championship.
Senior point guard Odyssey Sims has
been named to the preseason Wooden
Award List for the third straight
season, and to the AP All American
team last season.
The Lady Bears will host rst round
games in the NCAA tournament for
the second straight year. Baylor won
both their games at home last season
and have aspirations to do the same
this March. I am very pleased that
we were selected to host games in
the 2014 NCAA Womens Basketball
Championships. It is a tribute to our
fans, our team and administration
that we were chosen to host again.
Both times weve hosted our fans
have been very supportive and I know
that has a bearing on selections.
coach Kim Mulkey said in a press
release.
Baylor may not have the dominant
player Griner was anymore, but they
still have an experienced nucleus
surrounded by young talent and the
will to win. The Lady Bears have been
at the forefront of Womens College
Basketball for years now and plan to
stay on top in the 2013-14 season.
Ben Felderstein
The Iowa State Womens basketball team looks to rebuild after losing two of its three top scorers from last season due
to graduation. They will have to rely on junior guard Nikki Moody who has started for the Lady Cyclones the past two
seasons. Last season, Moody averaged almost seven and a half assists, leading the Big 12 and ranking third nationally.
The Lady Cyclones were able to make the NCAA tournament last season as the ve seed in the Spokane bracket. They
defeated 12-seed Gonzaga in the Round of 64 before losing to fourth-seeded Georgia in the next round.
Iowa State has added four top-notch freshmen who will look to make an impact within the next two years. Jadda Buckley
is probably the best recruit coming in; she is ranked in top 50 in the class of 2013. She was a two-time rst-team all-
state selection, and she averaged 14 points per game. Seanna Johnson, is another freshman looking to make an impact.
She is a three-time state champion in Minn., and she was named Class 3A basketball player of the year twice in Minn.
Last season, the Lady Cyclones defeated Kansas in both regular season games. This year they look to continue that. It is
unsure how much the loss of their top scorers from last season will affect them this season. They are a good team and
could possibly win the Big 12 title.

At the start of the new season,
the women's basketball team has to
fnd its identity without departed
players especially at the point
guard position. Angel Goodrich,
the point guard and leader of the
teams that made back-to-back
Sweet 16 appearances, has lef a
large hole to fll.
Sophomore guard Lamaria Cole
has been handed the reins to the
starting point guard position
this season. Cole, who made
appearances in eight games last
year, was ofen turnover prone in
her limited minutes last season.
In the two exhibitions games
the Jayhawks have played in, Cole
has shown improvement and
quickness. Against Pittsburg State,
Cole scored 12 points, dished out
three assists and committed three
turnovers. She had a quieter game
against Emporia State, but had
four assists to one turnover that
afernoon.
Afer the game against Pittsburg
State, Cole said she credits watching
Goodrich play last season.
"Last year I didn't play under
control at all," Cole said "Afer
watching Angel play and seeing
how she controls the ball, I learned
a lot from her."
Backup senior guard CeCe
Harper gives the Jayhawks another
option at the point guard position.
Against Emporia State, she scored
15 points and had two assists while
running the ofense for much of the
second half. From the point guard
position, she also had the unique
statistic by gathering four ofensive
rebounds.
Both players need to continue
improving their ball-handling
skills if they want to replace
Goodrich's production. Goodrich
lef as the school's all-time leader
in assists with 771, while breaking
the 1,000-point scoring mark.
Goodrich was picked by the Tulsa
Shock in the WNBA draf.
To continue their recent run of
success, the Jayhawks also need to
fnd a way to replace the production
of fellow graduated players Monica
Engelman and Carolyn Davis, who
both also scored more than 1,000
career points. Davis also reached
the milestone of grabbing over 700
rebounds.
Te team lacks experience overall
afer losing the three starting
seniors from last season. Junior
forward Chelsea Gardner and
junior guard Natalie Knight are the
only two consistent starters from
last season.
Kansas has also added a fve
new freshman. Te freshman
will likely see limited minutes as
they continue to fgure out the
college game. Only two freshmen,
Dakota Gonzalez and Jada Brown,
saw minutes in the Emporia State
exhibition game. Neither scored a
point, and they combined for three
rebounds and one assist.
In the preseason poll, Kansas was
picked to fnish seventh in the 10-
team league. Te Jayhawks open
the season Sunday at home against
Oral Roberts at 2 p.m. on Nov. 10.

Jayhawks look for new identity

NEW SEASON, NEW FACES
The Kansas State University
womens basketball teams
season starts on Friday, and
they look to defy the odds. At the
beginning of October, the team
was named ninth in the Big
12 by the coaches, which is a
ranking they hope to beat by the
end of the season.
In the preseason, the Wild-
cats defeated the Washburn
Ichabods easily, but struggled a
little more with the Sea Wolves
of the University of Alaska
Anchorage. The team is easily
transitioning into the new sea-
son, despite only bringing back
ve women from last seasons
WNIT seminalist team. Six
freshmen, who can hopefully
impact the team very early, will
join the returning ve.
One such freshman is guard
Leticia Romero. Romero, a
Spain native, scored in double
gures for both of the Wildcats
preseason games. She even led
the team in scoring against the
University of Alaska Anchorage.
The team hopes to continue
coach Deb Pattersons streak
of making the postseason
every year for the past eleven
seasons, despite starting the
season low in Big 12.

Back-to-back Sweet Sixteens.
When you hear this phrase you
immediately think of Kansas
basketball but usually the
men, not the women.
But that is exactly what coach
Bonnie Henrickson and the
Jayhawks womens basketball
team have accomplished the
past two seasons two deep
postseason runs flled with
upsets over top-notch programs.
Because of the success of the
past two seasons, expectations
are at a level that has not been
seen at Kansas since before
Henrickson took over the
program in 2004. Tis season,
Kansas adds fve new players to
the roster.
It is the seven veterans that
Kansas will have to rely on in the
early part of this season if the
Jayhawks want to be successful.
Losing three 1,000 point scorers
in Angel Goodrich, Monica
Engelman and Carolyn Davis
will not go unnoticed, but
returning players like CeCe
Harper, Natalie Knight and
Chelsea Gardner
will have to step
up if the Jayhawks
want the chance
to advance to the
postseason for a
third straight year.
Kansas will
need to come
out stronger than
it did against
Emporia State
on Sunday, when the Hornets
jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the
frst four minutes of the game,
fustering the Jayhawks with
good defense and good ball
movement on ofense.
Although Kansas won the
exhibition game 61-53, the
ofense looked sluggish at best,
and the tempo was lacking
throughout much of the game.
I think at times we were really
good, but weve just got to bring
it every night, junior guard
Natalie Knight said. We need to
increase our
ball pressure
and boxing
out is going
to be big for
us down the
stretch.
Te most
i mp o r t a nt
component
in that respect
will be junior
forward Chelsea Gardner.
Gardner played in all 34 of the
Jayhawks games last season and
started 19 of them. She averaged
just under nine points and seven
rebounds a game, which were
both nearly double her totals
from her freshman season. If
Gardner can improve these
numbers, the outlook for this
season becomes much brighter.
Gardner recorded a double-
double with 18 points and 11
rebounds against Pittsburg State
and followed that performance
with 11 points against Emporia
state on Sunday.
Te competition in non-
conference play and the Big 12
will be much tougher than these
two exhibitions, and it seems
that as Gardner goes, so will
the Jayhawks this season. Te
Jayhawks begin their season this
Sunday against Oral Roberts in
Allen Fieldhouse, and their Big
12 conference play begins Jan. 2
against West Virginia.

The Oklahoma State Cowgirls 9-9
nish in the 2012-13 Big 12 cam-
paign gave the team a fth place
nish in the conference. Overall,
the team nished 22-11 with a
second round loss to the No. 2 seed
Duke Blue Devils.

The Cowgirls beat the Jayhawks
twice by double digits, led by the
teams junior point guard Tiffany
Bias and sophomore forward Liz
Donohoe. In the rst matchup in
Lawrence, both the Jayhawks and
Cowgirls were ranked, but the
Cowgirls never trailed in the game.
Liz Donohoe scored 24 points and
the Cowgirls won on the road
76-59. In the second matchup in
Stillwater, Okla., senior forward
Toni Young scored 15 points and
secured 15 rebounds on top of
junior point guard Tiffany Bias 12
points. The Jayhawks lost to the No.
12-ranked Cowgirls 65-52.

Last season the Cowgirls were
successful with an experienced
lineup, but have lost three main
contributors. With the addition of
several new freshmen, the young
Cowgirls squad will look to senior
point guard Tiffany Bias and junior
forward Liz Donohoe to lead the
team. The youth didnt keep them
from a No. 21 ranking in the Asso-
ciated Press preseason poll.

Last season, Bias who is from
Andover, Kan. was selected as
an All-American honorable mention
by the Associated Press, and was
a second-team All-Big 12 pick for
the second season in a row. She
was also the third player in Cowgirl
history to reach 500 assists.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Jayhawks look to improve on recent success
EVAN DUNBAR

Sophomore guard Lamaria Cole hopes to play an important role with this seasons
Jayhawks.
I think at times were

really good, but weve just
got to bring it every night.
NATALIE KNIGHT
junior guard
Led by the focal point of their team
in seniors Morgan Hook, Aaryn
Ellenberg, Nicole Grifn, and junior
Sharane Campbell, the preseason
coaches poll winners of the Big 12,
hope to take the young core of ve
new freshman, and hope to make
another deep NCAA Tournament
run. The freshmen of the Oklahoma
Sooners are said to be some of the
best, as one their standout forward
Felisha Gibbs is a top talent. She
comes in at an athletic 6-2 big that
has been said to be a dominating
force down low, averaging 21 points,
12 board, and 4 blocks her senior
year in high school.

As far as the veterans are con-
cerned, Ellenberg is the one who will
most likely lead this team. Coming
off a season in which she averaged
18.7 points per game and shot over
40% from both the eld and beyond
the arc, she is going to need to be a
key part of this offense if this team
wants to do well this year. Judging
by the Sooners success last season,
it looks like the young freshmen will
be a good compliment to the return-
ing veterans, as the Sooners should
have another great year.

TCU received a rude welcoming to
the Big 12 last season, nishing
last, with a 2-16 conference record.
Overall, the Lady Horned Frogs went
9-21 and failed to win a road game.
Their disastrous 2012 campaign
is leading to renewed hope this
season. Head coach Jeff Mittie
started three freshmen last season
to prepare for the future. TCU should
expect an improved record with its
highly-touted freshman class and
four starters returning.
As a freshman, guard Zahna Medley
led the team in scoring and assists.
Center Latricia Lovings nished
third in the NCAA with 3.63 blocks
per game last year and is regarded
as one of the best defensive players
in the nation. She also recorded 9.2
rebounds per game.
Mitties rebuilding plan was
bolstered this offseason by signing
guard AJ Alix, a top-50 recruit, and
guard/forward Jada Butts, a top-100
recruit, in the off-season. Guard
Alexia Standish, a 2011 top-30
recruit and U16 Olympic basketball
gold medalist, transferred to TCU for
this season after two years at Texas
A&M.
The team may not be challenging for
the Big 12 this year, but it should
be in the next two or three years. If
the young starters from last year
improve and the recruits continue to
roll in, TCU could be a force in the
years to come.
