Jayhawks continue Aggies’woes, 100-70
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kirk Hinrich
keeps finding Kansas’ shooters, and they keep pay
ing him off with big numbers in his assists column.
The sophomore point guard had 10 assists Sat
urday, his fourth double-digit game of the season,
and No. 5 Kansas shot 52 percent from the field
in a 100-70 victory over Texas A&M.
“Kirk pushes the ball up the court nonstop. He
doesn’t get tired,’’ said forward Drew Gooden,
who had 19 points and 10 rebounds for his team
leading sixth double-double of the season. “He’s
like a cross country runner out there, and he dis
tributes the ball really well.”
Gooden, whom Kansas coach Roy Williams
has used in a sixth-man role for much of the sea
son, had his double-double in just 19 minutes.
“It really tells you something when players like
Drew Gooden are not even starting,” Texas A&M
men’s basketball coach Melvin Watkins said.
“When you have McDonalds All-Americans,
Burger King All-Americans and whatnot, you’ve
always got a good player on the bench.”
Nick Collison, Kansas’ other standout sopho
more, also had 19 points on 9-for-11 shooting from
the field. Gooden shot 7-for-l 1 as the Jayhawks
went over 50 percent for the 12th time in 16 games.
They shot 52 percent (36-for-69) overall on Sat
urday and had five players score in double figures.
The Jayhawks (15-1,4-0 Big 12) have won six
straight against A&M (6-11,0-5).
Jeff Boschee went 4-for-6 from 3-point range
and scored 14 points for Kansas, off to its sixth
straight 4-0 conference start and its first 15-1 open
ing to a season since 1997-98.
Kenny Gregory added 12 points, and Luke Ax-
tell had 10.
''We just do not
have the size or
the bodies to
1; Jr?
matchup with all
of their big men. ”
WATKINS
“When you play a team with one or two big
scorers, you can usually focus on shutting them
down,” Collison said. “But if you have to play us
straight up, it’s going to be Tough, because one-
on-one, we’ve got a lot of good players.”
Sophomore guard Bernard King led the Aggies
with 18 points and six assists but shot 5-for-18
from the field — including 2-for-9 on 3-pointers
— under heavy defensive pressure from Boschee.
“We knew Bernard was going to get points be
cause he is a good player, but 1 think Jeff really
bothered Bernard,” Williams said.
Boschee hit two quick 3-pointers as Kansas
took an 11-2 lead, but the Aggies’ persistence on
the offensive boards — they matched Kansas 11-
11 in rebounding at that end in the first half —
helped A&M pull within two points three times.
But after senior forward Carlton Brown’s fol
low shot cut Kansas’ lead to 26-24 with 8:42 left
in the half, the Jayhawks went on a 24-5 run — in
cluding a 12-0 streak — to go up 50-29 with just
under a minute left before the break.
“Last year we'd let down a little bit and let a
team claw their way back up,” Gooden said. “This
year, we know how to compete better. Teams
aren’t going to claw their way up that often.”
Gregory and Gooden had six points each in that
run, while Kansas held the Aggies without a field
goal from the 6:44 mark until 57 seconds remained
in the half.
“We just do not have the size or the bodies to
match up with all of their big men,” Watkins said.
“We did our best on the offensive rebounds, but
we just could not keep up.”
An 18-5 run in the second half, capped by
Boschee’s final 3-pointer with 5:05 left, gave the
Jayhawks their biggest lead at 88-50.
Texas A&M shot 33 percent (24-for-72) from
the field for the game. Brown had 14 points, and
sophomore guard Jamaal Gilchrist added 10.

Tracksters strike gold at
RAMZY
Wire Reports
NORMAN, Okla. — The Texas
A&M men’s and women’s track and
field teams won four gold medals
and set two meet records at the Ok
lahoma Classic
held in the
Mosier Indoor
Facility on the
Oklahoma cam
pus Saturday.
The 12th-
ranked Aggie
men were led by
the senior duo
of Kris Allen and Bashir Ramzy
at the team’s annual indoor sea-
son-opener.
There was no team scoring at
the meet.
Allen, a three-time All-Ameri
can from San Antonio, blazed to a
time of 7.83 seconds in the 60-me-
ter hurdles to win going away. In the
process, Allen recorded a new fa
cility record, a new meet record and
posted an NCAA provisional qual
ifying mark.
Ramzy, a two-time All-Ameri
can from Dallas, skipped out to a
meet record and provisional-quali
fying mark of 52-9 1/4 to win the
triple jump by more than a foot.
Teammate Brandon Evans had held
the old meet standard of 51 -4 1/2 set
last year.
Mike Hummel got his 2001
campaign started off with a bang,
securing the silver in the men’s
3,000. The defending Big 12 Cham
pion in the indoor 1,000 clocked an
8:38.74 in a slow, tactical race
which saw Texas Tech’s Gezachz
Yossef win by 16 seconds.
Other top finishers for the men
included freshman Anderson Smith
placing third in the long jump with
a leap of 23-8 3/4 and the 1,600-me
ter relay team also grabbing bronze
with a 3:17.78 clocking.
Melissa Gulli picked up where
she left off last November when she
earned All-America accolades in
cross country by winning the
women’s 3,000.
The junior from Spring, paced
the field with a personal-best
9:47.95 for an indoor 3K, a time just
.46 seconds off Melissa Weaver’s
school record mark of 9:47.49. Gul
li does own two school records out
doors, including the 3,000
(9:34.59).
OU Classic
Terra Taylor pulled off a mild
upset in the women’s 20-pound
weight throw, beating teammate
Meshell Trotter by just over eight
inches for the gold. The junior from
Llano, hurled the weight out to a
55-9 measure to better the senior
All-American's 55-0 1/4, second-
place effort.
Senior Christina Ohaeri picked
up a second-place finish in the 60
hurdles. Oklahoma's Alesha Peel
clocked a meet record time of 8.33
to nip Ohaeri at
the tape by just
.04 seconds in an
closely-contested
final.
Robyn
Burkhardt also
found silver,
clearing 5-4 1/4
in the high jump, ohaeri
while Jennifer
Whatley took the bronze in the
mile run, posting a time of 5:05.41,
less than five seconds off the win
ning pace.
A&M will be back in action
next Saturday as it travels to Hous
ton to compete in the Southwest In
door Classic.

A&M capitalized on the Bears’ slop
py play in the first half, scoring 24
points off 12 Baylor turnovers.
In the second half, the Bears did all
they could to get back into the game,
and came as close as three points with
three minutes left in the game.
The Bears were forced to foul the
ggies with time running out, and
&M went 7-of-8 from the free-
hrow line in the final minute of the
ame to seal the 87-81 victory.
“I put our players on the free-
hrow line when they were dead tired
at practice. I think it really played off
for us today,” said Gillom.
“We needed to win this game,”
illom said. “Our team really needed
the confidence.”
Baylor was a two-person show on
i Saturday as Lambert and Crockrom
Recounted for 63 of Baylor’s 81 points.
! “We have to have a third and
forth scorer, and we didn’t today,
and that really hurt us,” said Baylor
omen’s basketball coach Kim
ulkey-Robertson.
The Baylor squad mustered just
four points from their bench players.
The Aggies were helped out greatly
by 22 points from their bench players,
despite losing sophomore forward
Meg Banahan to a knee injury on
Wednesday in Oklahoma.
! The win was the first for the Ag-
igies over a ranked opponent since
1996 when the Aggies defeated Texas
and Texas Tech in the semifinals and
finals of the Southwest Conference
post-season tournament.
