KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY COMES IN FOR A JAM against Oklahoma during the second half. Withey had 13 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots in the Jayhawks’ 67-54 victory on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Withey keys Kansas’ victory over Sooners By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
“Withey Block Party” made its debut on the Allen Fieldhouse scoreboard Saturday afternoon, to the delight of 16,300 fans, including Mark Randall. Randall, a former Kansas University power forward and first-round NBA Draft pick who works in community relations for the Denver Nuggets, peered at the big board during a second-half
timeout as Jeff Withey was shown not only blocking four of Oklahoma’s shots in a 67-54 Jayhawk men’s basketball victory, but also dancing in disco attire. “It’s been great watching him grow over the time he’s been here,” the 6-foot-9 Randall said of 7-footer Withey, whose productive first half (four blocks, seven rebounds, nine points) helped set the tone as KU led, 29-21, at the break. “One thing about Oklaho-
ma that surprised me is, they were unbelievably athletic, and their big guys were extremely athletic. The guards were doing a good job of getting inside, but guess what? Jeff’s back there cleaning everything up,” Randall added of Withey, who finished with 13 points and nine rebounds to go with the four rejections. “I’m not in personnel any more, but if you are tall and have the kind of skill level he’s got, he’s going to find
a niche in the NBA. He’s a shot-blocker. He’s developing his game in the low post. The biggest thing he has to do is learn to use his butt more, so he can hold his position down there. It comes with time. He has a series of moves he’s obviously learned. He’s working on it.” Withey — who was coming off his only game of the season in which he failed to block a shot, Tuesday at Please see KANSAS, page 4B
KU No. 1? Somebody has to be Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com
Generally, the chant “We’re No. 1! We’re No. 1!” starts loud, grows louder and ultimately shakes the building. Not now. Not in college basketball. Not anywhere in the country. After his team again defended like a champion, Kansas basketball coach Bill
Self was asked if it is ready for a No. 1 ranking. “No,” Self said. “Nor are we deserving.” Then the mental Rolodex of other highly ranked schools swiftly spun, and he took his answer in another direction. “You know, somebody’s got to be it, though,” he said.
Bingo. The weekly Associated Press college basketball poll measures today’s teams against each other, not against top-ranked juggernauts from years past.

Defense lifts FSHS to Classic crown By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com
No one would have handed Free State High’s girls basketball team an award for offensive proficiency following its Saturday afternoon game against Washburn Rural, but defense earned the Firebirds a 43-31 victory and their second straight Firebird Winter Classic championship trophy. FSHS held the Blues (8-5) scoreless the entire second
quarter of the tournament title game at FSHS. Rural, the No. 9-ranked team in Class 6A, didn’t make a field goal or free throw during a span of more than 13 minutes, stretching from late in the first quarter to midway through the third. So even though the Firebirds (9-3) only scored six points in both the second and third quarters, they entered the fourth with a 13-point advantage.

The nice thing about veteran teams at any level of basketball is that they exhibit sound fundamentals, except when they don’t, that is. Kansas University’s women start three seniors who are members of the 1,000-point career scoring club and two sophomores who started three NCAA Tournament games a year ago. Mix in a home-court
advantage, and what do you get? Well, for starters, 18 turnovers by Kansas and in the second half 13 offensive rebounds for Oklahoma State, which muscled its way to a 65-52 victory that sent a crowd of 3,655 fans in Allen Fieldhouse home with heads hanging low. “No excuse for 18 turnovers against a 2-3 zone,” Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

FSU QB has big day at Senior Bowl MOBILE, ALA. (AP) — Florida State’s EJ Manuel passed for a touchdown and rushed for another on the South’s first two drives in a 21-16 victory over the North in the Senior Bowl on Saturday. Manuel and running backs Stepfan Taylor and Mike James combined to put the game for senior NFL prospects away on the South’s final drive. Stanford’s Taylor carried five times
for 32 yards and caught a sixyard pass from Manuel. Manuel converted a fourthand-one play on a sneak to set up a five-yard touchdown run for Miami’s James with 2:41 left. Manuel was named the game’s Most Outstanding Player. Brigham Young defensive end Ezekiel Ansah received the honors for the South team while Purdue defensive lineman Kawann Short was the North’s
top player. Manuel completed seven of 10 passes for 76 yards with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Alabama tight end Michael Williams. He also scored on a two-yard run. He finished his Florida State career with his best season despite his mother Jackie’s battle with breast cancer. He said she will undergo surgery on Feb. 1. Miami, Ohio quarterback Zac
Dysert answered with a scoring drive that ended with his 3-yard touchdown pass to Oregon running back Kenjon Barner with 23 seconds left. The two-point conversion and onside kick both failed. Ansah is a native of Ghana who initially was on the track team and now is a potential first-round pick. He had seven tackles, 3.5 behind the line, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

COMMENTARY
Te’o saga new symbol of society By Linda Robertson The Miami Herald
When it comes to the Manti Te’o soap opera, Katie Couric expressed the exasperation many of us are feeling. “Come on, Manti!� Couric said at one point during her interview with the Notre Dame linebacker with the online girlfriend who was injured in a car crash, fell into a coma, revived at the sound of his voice, inspired him to heroic feats on the football field, died from leukemia, had a funeral, came back to life and got chased by drug dealers. This femme fatale, sweet Lennay Kekua, was the “love of my life,� Te’o said, for more than two years. Yet they never met. Never held hands. He never visited her in the hospital, never saw her face other than in a photograph. She never attended one of his games, never connected with him when they were within miles of each other in California and Hawaii. She never existed. Except as a figment of the imagination. Te’o’s imagination. It’s an unbelievable story. So unbelievable that it is difficult to conclude that Te’o was not involved — not necessarily as perpetrator but at least as perpetuator. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and agree that he was initially duped in a catfishing scheme. People send large sums of money to complete strangers in Nigeria, right? But then he bought in to the idea — the ideal — of Lennay Kekua. He embraced her completely. Just not in person. Was he a lonely, naive, devout kid “trying to be a man,� as his father said in defending his 21-year-old son? Or was he a guy who liked the attention, the unconditional love, the sympathetic ear, the power to heal? Remember when you were young and had an invisible friend? Handy, wasn’t he or she? Comforting, fun, and you controlled the conversations. Te’o was no victim once he willingly suspended disbelief. Curiously, he never managed to Skype with Kekua or chat with her via Facetime. As for Te’o, he will be drafted, but it won’t be on the basis of his Wonderlic test score. Te’o is part of a generation that texts instead of talks. They’ve invented a whole new language. People today tweet the most banal details of daily life. They spend hours on Facebook. They do online dating. It’s a poor substitute for personal contact, the human touch, eye to eye, skin to skin. In this brave, new cyber world soon we’ll be leaving everything to robots and computers like HAL. Or having relationships with them. What if you could program your spouse to clean the toilet, never argue and like the same movies you like? The Te’o soap opera is so fascinating because it is a glimpse of us and what we are becoming if we are not careful. Like most soap operas, it’s ridiculous and heart-wrenching. You don’t know whether to laugh. Or cry.

VICTORIA AZARENKA RETURNS A SHOT DURING the Australian Open women’s final Saturday in Melbourne, Australia. Azarenka defeated Li Na for the title.
Azarenka captures Australian women’s crown MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Victoria Azarenka had the bulk of the crowd against her. The fireworks were fizzling out, and when she looked over the net she saw Li Na crashing to the court and almost knocking herself out. Considering the cascading criticism she’d encountered after her previous win, Azarenka didn’t need the focus of the Australian Open final to be on another medical timeout. So after defending her title with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over the sixth-seeded Li in one of the most unusual finals ever at Melbourne Park, Azarenka understandably dropped her racket and cried tears of relief late Saturday night. “It isn’t easy, that’s for sure, but I knew what I had to do,� the 23-year-old Belarusian said. “I had to stay calm. I had to stay positive. I just had to deal with the things that came onto me.� There were a lot of those things squeezed into the 2-hour, 40-minute match. Li, who was playing her second Australian Open final in three years, twisted her ankle and tumbled to the court in the second and third sets. The second time was on the point immediately after a 10-minute delay for the Australia Day fireworks — a familiar fixture in downtown Melbourne on Jan. 26, but not usually coinciding with a final. Azarenka had generated some bad PR by taking a medical timeout after wasting five match points on her own serve in her semifinal win over American teenager Sloane Stephens on Thursday. She came back after the break and finished off Stephens in the next game, later telling an on-court interviewer that she “almost did the choke of the year.� Later Saturday, Bob and Mike Bryan won their record 13th Grand Slam men’s doubles title, defeating the Dutch team of Robin Haase and Igor Sijsling, 6-3, 6-4. Today’s men’s final was to feature two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic and U.S. Open winner Andy Murray. Djokovic was seeking to become the first man in the Open era to win three titles in a row in Australia.
GOLF
Fog delays play at Torrey Pines SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods is going to have to wait to pursue a seventh win at Torrey Pines. Three players completed one hole Saturday before fog wiped out virtually the entire day at the Farmers Insurance Opens. Players are to resume the round this morning and play as long as
daylight allows and then finish Monday. Woods, who had a two-shot lead over Billy Horschel, never came to the golf course. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland is eight strokes back.
BASEBALL
MLB changes pickoff rule NEW YORK — One of the oldest trick plays in baseball is now a balk. Under a rule change imposed by Major League Baseball, pitchers will no longer be allowed to fake a pickoff to third base and throw to first as a way to dupe a runner on first base into breaking for second. Next season, that move would be a balk. Pitchers can still step off the rubber and fake to third.

OXFORD, MISS. — Mississippi has agreed to pay former coach Houston Nutt a lump sum of $4.35 million to complete his contract buyout. Nutt was fired after the 2011 season with about $6 million remaining on his contract. Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork said on Saturday in a statement that the school’s agreement with Nutt happened last month, and the onetime payment would save the athletic department about $550,000.

Wagner repeats as U.S. champ OMAHA, NEB. — Even with two falls, Ashley Wagner became the first woman since Michelle Kwan in 2005 to repeat as champion at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Saturday night Wagner’s hopes of the repeat seemed out of reach after she fell on a triple lutz and a triple loop, and also two-footed a triple flip. But her component scores were good enough to keep her ahead of up-and-comer Gracie Gold, who had to make up a lot of ground after a dismal short program. Wagner finished with 188.84 points, about two in front of Gold. Gold won the free skate with a score of 132.49. Only Sasha Cohen had posted a better free skate score at nationals, a 134.03 in 2006. Agnes Zawadzki was third.

FREE STATE GIRLS BASKETBALL COACH BRYAN DUNCAN TALKS TO HIS TEAM during a late timeout in the Firebirds’ 43-31 victory over Washburn Rural in the championship game of the Firebird Winter Classic on Saturday at FSHS.
FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
While the two programs don’t play in the same league, FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said they are familiar enough with each other to make for a rugged game. The teams combined to hit just 26 percent of their shots. While Rural went 9-for40 (23 percent), Free State wasn’t much better, going 11-for-36 (31 percent). Duncan pointed out that neither team ran bad offensive sets. Still, Free State only extended its 22-10 halftime lead to 28-15 entering the fourth quarter after the Firebirds went 2-for-11 in the third (Scout Wiebe scored on an offensive rebound, and A’Liyah Rogers made a layup in transition), and the Blues were 2-for-9 (a drive by Charly Michaelis broke Rural’s scoreless drought, and Erika Lane scored in the paint). “That third quarter, it felt like, man, nobody can score,” Duncan said after his team won its home tournament for the third time in four years. “But I think both teams really deserve some credit for the way the defenses played.” Rogers gave FSHS its only field goal of the fourth quarter and a 30-18 lead on a drive to the paint with 5:36 remaining. From that point, the frustrated Blues forced the Firebirds to win the game at the foul line. In the final four-plus minutes, Free State scored its final 13 points at the charity stripe. Abbey Casady hit six of nine, Chelsea Casady made four of seven and Scout Wiebe converted three of her four tries. The free throws couldn’t have come at a better time. Senior guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick, who returned to the lineup Thursday after missing more than two weeks because of a partially torn left MCL, had to leave the game early in the fourth after bumping knees with another player. She finished with eight points and four assists, and Duncan said her left knee felt bad enough there was no reason to keep her on the floor. “We’ve got some other good players,” the coach

said. “Just no excuse for that.” Seven of the eight players who appeared for Kansas had multiple turnovers. “We had two offensive boards at halftime, and we told our team at halftime the difference was going to be the battle on the offensive boards,” Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell said. “We challenged some people at halftime.” It worked. The Cowgirls (15-3 overall, 4-3 in the Big 12) had three more offensive rebounds in the second half than Kansas (12-6, 3-4) had defensive boards, a disparity that should never take place if the team playing defense is bringing enough passion.
EMPORIA — Lawrence High’s girls basketball team worked overtime Saturday. And plenty of it. The Lions fell to Goddard Eisenhower, 69-67 in triple overtime, in the seventh-place game of the Emporia Tournament. “It was a good girls basketball game,” LHS coach Nick Wood said. “It was well played on both sides. For an 11 o’clock game for seventh and eighth place, it was a good basketball game.” The Lions rallied from
an eight-point deficit after three quarters to send the game into the first extra period. Then Kyle Seaman hit a 17-footer at the buzzer at the end of the first overtime. Anna Wright led the Lions with 23 points. Wright made six three-pointers and had five steals. Seaman added 16 points, Makayla Bell scored 13 points, and Emma Kelly dished eight assists. “It was an emotional game, for sure,” Wood said. “We were down eight points going into that fourth quarter, and
we battled all the way back. I was really proud of the effort they showed. I’m really proud of the way they competed. It was tough. We needed to make a few more plays.” The Lions (2-9) will entertain Leavenworth on Tuesday.

The free throws were really important.” The Firebirds’ 20 freethrow attempts in the final 4:02 began when Rural coach Kevin Bordewick was whistled for back-toback technical fouls shortly after freshman Blues guard Lauren Biggs caught an inadvertent elbow to the nose from FSHS junior guard Millie Shade as she began a drive from the perimeter. Following Bordewick’s ejection, Chelsea made two of her four free throws before Rural put together a 10-3 run in less than three minutes. But Michaelis’s three-pointer with 1:35 left proved to be the Blues’ only points in the next 1:20, as Free State hit eight of its 10 free throws. Chelsea, who finished with 10 points, said the Firebirds needed to stymie Rural’s perimeter players. And they did, limiting WRHS to 1-for-16 shooting from behind the arc. “Normally, they’re a really good three-point team,” Chelsea said. “I think we did a really good job of stopping them and

Veritas boys 46, Wichita Sunrise 33 EUDORA — Veritas Christian’s boys basketball team rallied from an early eight-point deficit Saturday to defeat Wichita Sunrise. Veritas trailed by five points at halftime but outscored Sunrise, 27-9, after intermission. “We came out and had a great third quarter,” Veritas coach Gary Hammer said. “After the first quarter, we kind of bounced back and gained our composure. Our zone defense was great tonight, especially in the second half. Thomas Bachert probably
had a half a dozen blocked shots and at least 10 rebounds.” Chad Stieben scored 17 points to lead the Eagles. Andrew Currier added 10 points, and Elijah Harvey and Caleb Holland scored eight points apiece. “It was a big win for us,” Hammer said. “Sunrise is a good team. The guys were really pumped up after the game.” Veritas (11-3) will play Tuesday at Topeka Heritage.

Lane went 3-for-11 and scored a team-best eight points. She fouled out with 2:56 remaining on a drive, when Wiebe drew a charge. “We all worked as a team,” Chelsea said, “and it just really clicked that way.”

LHS wrestling 7th at O-North OLATHE — Competing without a few of its regular starters, Lawrence High’s wrestling team placed seventh on Saturday at the 12-team Olathe North dual tournament. Garrett Girard (126 pounds), Alan Clothier (170) and Andrew Denning (182) went a perfect
half drought that lasted 5:55, the visitors pushed their lead from two points to nine, and KU never drew closer than seven for the rest of the night. Some in the crowd, no doubt, wondered during that dry spell if things might have been different had Keena Mays not left at the end of the first semester last season. Mays transferred to SMU and became eligible at the start of the spring semester. She is averaging 21.2 points and making 46 percent of her three-point shots. Last March, even without the injured Davis and without Mays’ explosive scoring, the Jayhawks brought national attention to the program with a spirited, Goodrich-driven run to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. That was just 10 months ago, but Saturday night it seemed like longer ago than that.
5-0 on the day. As a team, the Lions defeated Piper, 53-18, before losing three straight duals to Staley, Mo. (37-36), Washburn Rural (44-33) and Shawnee Mission East (35-30). Lawrence High finished with a 36-27 victory over Grain Valley, Mo. Konnor Kelly (170 pounds) went 5-0 on the junior varsity side. The Lions’ next action will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, when LHS hosts its Senior Night against Blue Valley Southwest and Baldwin.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD
Withey makes impression on Sooners By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com
Every day in practice, Oklahoma senior forward Romero Osby works on his pump-fakes. The OU coaches stress their importance. The goal is simple: Get your defender in the air, make him make contact and get to the free-throw line. The strategy has served Osby well so far this season. Entering Saturday, his 100 free-throw attempts were third in the Big 12 and also in the top 150 nationally. So it was no wonder that
the 6-foot-8 forward could only shake his head in frustration following Kansas’ 67-54 victory over OU. Those dekes — the ones he works on every day — had no chance against KU center Jeff Withey. “He makes it really tough, especially going to the basket,” said Osby, who attempted just four free throws against KU. “You try to get him off the floor with your pumpfakes, and he just stays down, stays down. Like I said, he has good timing. He has a knack for it.” Withey made it especially tough on Osby, who
had made at least half of his shots in each of his last 10 games. Osby didn’t come close to that Saturday, posting 12 points on 4-for-16 shooting. The 16 field-goal attempts were a seasonhigh, though even with that many shots, he didn’t come close to matching his 19.2-point-per-game output in Big 12 play. “(Withey) always bothers people,” Osby said, “but I think I kind of let it get in my head a little bit that I had missed a couple shots.” OU coach Lon Kruger described it as Withey
playing “on the fringe.” The KU senior would back off Osby just enough to make it seem like there was enough room to shoot. Osby said he never was sure that he had enough space, wondering if Withey’s long wingspan and quick closeout might result in another blocked shot. “It’s just the fact that he’s backing up off me a little bit, using his length,” Osby said of the big man getting in his head. “I wanted to shoot the jumper, but I had missed a couple in a row. That’s got to just be me. I’ve just got to
get in the gym and put up more shots and get that confidence.” Withey seemed to affect the entire OU offense. The Sooners’ 54 points were their second-lowest total this season. “They’ve got a lot of guys on the perimeter that guard the ball very well, and Withey changes everything on the interior and does a terrific job,” Kruger said. “I thought he really set the tone early in the ballgame. We just never did get any flow offensively.” OU also posted its lowest halftime score (21
points) since the 2010-11 season. With Withey guarding the paint, the box score showed that the Sooners finished just 6-for-14 on layups and dunks (43 percent). “He’s a unique player, not only in our league, but in college basketball in terms of ... you don’t play against those types of players very often,” Kruger said. “He erases any mistakes on the perimeter, plus he guards his own guy inside. He not only blocks a lot of shots but changes a lot of shots and does that to a lot of people.”

Kansas State — will have to look for “Withey Block Party” on YouTube.com. He was too busy listening to coach Bill Self during a second-half stoppage to catch the video that had the fans’ full attention. “Some people told me about it (video). I mean, I block shots. If that’s what they remember me as, that’s fine with me.” Withey said after moving into sole possession of third place on KU’s all-time block list (247). He’s six blocks away from tying Cole Aldrich for second and 11 from tying Greg Ostertag as top shot-blocker in school history. “I thought I did pretty well. They didn’t come inside too often. I think I affected him a little bit,” he added of OU’s Romero Osby, who scored 12 points off 4-of-16 shooting. “I think he was a little hesitant to shoot the ball. I might have blocked him in the first half pretty early, so that might have gotten in his head. I’m not sure. He’s a good player, and he is definitely physical. He tried taking it right at me.” Withey’s performance helped the Jayhawks improve to 18-1 overall and 6-0 in the Big 12. Oklahoma fell to 13-5, 4-2. “Jeff played great. He made some plays that I think would rival some of the better plays that he’s made this entire year,” Self said. “Defensively, we make some mistakes, and he covers up the floor behind us and rebounded the ball pretty well. Osby ... that’s a tough matchup,” Self added. “Their

bigs play well away from the basket. I thought he did some good things, but we didn’t play with a lot of energy. We didn’t pressure. We didn’t play the way I feel like the way we needed to play to be our best.” Withey had one assist. He stole the ball, showed dribbling skills, then passed ahead to Travis Releford (10 points, five assists, five rebounds), who scored to give KU a 46-35 lead with 9:52 left. “I can think of better options than him leading the break, but the way we played today, he may have been as good as our guards out there leading the break,” Self said. “He has done that several times. He made a bad pass to Ben (McLemore,
18 points, 5-for-10 shooting) the first half. He bounced it, and we got nothing out of it. The second half he made an air pass, but led Travis too much. Travis made an unbelievable play with one hand. Jeff is doing really well.” Withey joked about his point-guard skills. “I don’t want to dribble too much usually,” he said. “After that, coach kind of told me because I never do it. He said, ‘Never give a bounce pass in transition if you are leading the break.’ I don’t know. I kind of liked it. It might happen more often.” Perhaps his dribbling will be featured on the next Withey Block Party scoreboard show. “That was a big game for him tonight,” Randall assessed. “It’s been fun to watch him develop over the years and become the inside presence for this team.” KU will meet West Virginia at 8 p.m. Monday in Morgantown, W.Va.

coaches he defeated this past week used to coach — likely will remain one spot ahead of Kansas and top the AP poll, and Kansas would probably top the far less prestigious coaches’ poll. (Can’t tell I’m a voter in the AP version, can you?) “If they’re 1 in both of them, that wouldn’t bother me much at all,” Self said of the Wolverines. “But you know, somebody’s got to do it, and if it’s us, that would be great.” Kansas (18-1 overall, 6-0 in the Big 12) pushed its winning streak to 17 games with Saturday’s 67-54 victory against Oklahoma. “You know, I never would have thought before the season that this team could be No. 1 at any point in time,” Self said. “That’s great for our kids and everything, but I think after today our guys know our success winning will be short-lived if in fact we don’t come in with better focus than we did today.” Unlike a year ago, when Kentucky had a band of stars now making nice livings in the NBA even though some aren’t old enough to drink, this could be one of those years in which age and experience could trump pure talent. Why? It’s a shallow talent pool across
KANSAS GUARDS BEN MCLEMORE, CENTER, AND ELIJAH JOHNSON have a talk with little time remaining against Oklahoma. the country, much less on any one particular team. “We’ve had a lot of teams in here that didn’t have their ‘A’ game focuswise, but they were so talented they could still get by. This team’s not like that. This team has less margin for error. So that’s why it disappoints me,” Self said. At a school that draws No. 1 seeds on a nearannual basis, it’s tough not to compare today to yesterday. The best recent standard is the 2008 national-championship team. “We had seven NBA players on one team,” Self said. “If those guys didn’t have their ‘A’ game, their ‘B’ game or ‘C’ game focus-wise, we would still be OK because their talent was so high. We’re not like that now.” Shaky point-guard play — Elijah Johnson watched half the first half with two
fouls and had his pocket picked twice late — kept Kansas from running away with this one and was a particular point of dismay for the coach. “We can’t afford to make mental mistakes and not play with the same energy and things like that,” Self said. “It doesn’t mean we’re awful by any stretch. It doesn’t mean they’re trying not to be focused or anything, but we didn’t have that. We weren’t razor-sharp today by any stretch. And then I think you get real average real fast.” Kansas plays extraordinary defense and finishes exceptionally well on the fast break, but it’s far from a perfect team, especially when trying to score from its half-court offense. Perfection is not a prerequisite of a No. 1 ranking. I’ll put Kansas at the top of my ballot because
it won on Ohio State’s home court, the site of Michigan’s lone loss. But if Michigan defeats Illinois, the argument that the Wolverines deserve the top spot because it’s easier to win in the Big 12 than the Big Ten certainly has merit as well. Put on the spot after Saturday’s game, Kruger endorsed the Jayhawks after being asked: Does Kansas look like a typical No. 1 team? “Yeah, I think they’re great,” he said. “They’ve got terrific athletes on the perimeter, big shot-blocker inside. They’ve got guys who are very unselfish. Bill does a terrific job. They play the game. They play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. They move the ball, and they’re great defensively. Yeah, they’re deserving. I hope they are No. 1.” Well, what else would you expect a gentleman’s gentleman possibly on his way to coaching a fifth different school into the NCAA Tournament to say? Besides, as Self said, somebody has to be No. 1. It’s not Duke, which lost by 27 points to Miami earlier in the week. Or Louisville, which has lost three games in a row. Or Syracuse, upset in overtime Saturday at Villanova. And it’s sure not Northern Illinois, which in Saturday’s 42-25 loss to Eastern Michigan made one of 31 field-goal attempts on the way to four first-half points. Definitely not Northern Illinois.
Elijah Johnson would like to see the ball start dropping through the basket. “It’s a little frustrating right now, because I feel like my numbers, as far as shooting, haven’t shown how well I can really shoot,” Johnson, Kansas University’s senior point guard, said after scoring eight points off 3-of-8 shooting (2-of-6 from three) in the Jayhawks’ 67-54 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. “I don’t feel that I have shot to my potential at all. All of my shots are limited because I don’t shoot that many. I need something to start falling for me, but I’m not focused on it too much. They’ll fall.” The 6-foot-4 Las Vegas native has hit 39.8 percent of his floor shots — 34.6 percent of his threes — for the Jayhawks (18-1 overall, 6-0 Big 12). He hit 43 percent of his shots (33.8 from three) a year ago. Johnson did not score or dish an assist while playing just nine minutes the first half Saturday. Two quick fouls cut into his playing time. “Those two fouls the first half were wasted plays. He took himself out of the game. The second half, he played a lot better,” coach Bill Self said. “It (fouling) was a lack of focus on his part.” Freshman guard Ben McLemore scored seven points off 2-of-4 shooting in 18 minutes the first half and 11 points off 3-of-6 shooting while playing 19 minutes the second half. “Coach Self always stresses to me that he needs me to be more aggressive, and I need to create more opportunities offensively to get myself open one pass away,” McLemore said. “I need to get myself open. I need to do a better job of that. “I didn’t plug myself in the first half. I wasn’t aggressive like coach wants me to be. Coach told me to go out second half and be more aggressive and plug myself in.” Self wants McLemore to become more involved in the offense. “It’s hard to get shots if our guards can’t ever get in the scoring area,” Self said. “They (Sooners) are pressuring, denying. We can’t dribble past anybody. We don’t drive to pass. “I didn’t think Ben was very aggressive the first half. The second half, he
was more aggressive. He has such a nice stroke, he needs to get more looks. It’s the other guys’ responsibility to help him. We are not forcing his man to help much. Naadir (Tharpe, eight points, 1-for-5 shooting, 5-of-6 from line) and Elijah will get better at that. It wasn’t the case today.”
Adams plays 3 minutes Reserve point guard Rio Adams missed a shot and committed a foul during a three-minute stint the first half. “I was there to specifically play defense and keep our point spread spread out,” Adams said of keeping KU ahead of the Sooners. He entered with his team up eight and exited with KU up six. “I enjoyed it a lot,” Adams added of his getting in his second consecutive game. He played two minutes Tuesday at Kansas State.

Family of JFK aide sells presidential memorabilia By Rodrique Ngowi Associated Press
BOSTON — The family of a former special assistant to President John F. Kennedy is auctioning hundreds of photographs, documents, gifts and other memorabilia that once belonged to the late president. David Powers, who died in 1998, was a close personal friend to Kennedy and his wife, Jackie. He was also the first curator of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston until he retired in 1994. Powers’ family found “an extraordinary collection” of memorabilia locked away last year as they prepared to sell the family home, according to John McInnis Auctioneers in Amesbury. Powers, who joined Kennedy for his first political campaign for Congress in 1946 and was with him when he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963, collected keepsakes and documents spanning years of friendship with the Kennedy family. His collection of about 2,000 items will be auctioned in 723 lots on Feb. 17. The collection includes the president’s Air Force One leather bomber jacket; photos of the baptism of his only surviving child, Caroline Kennedy; pictures of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s birthday party taken in December 1963; a birthday card that a young John F. Kennedy Jr. sent to his father a few months before he was assassinated; and a collage of photos that show JFK and Jackie before he was elected president. Other items include a statement announcing Kennedy’s candidacy for president, ephemera, letters, documents and gifts to and from the family. The JFK Library, which is charged with promoting the life and legacy of Kennedy, says it is trying to figure out whether some of the items belong to the institution. “The Kennedy Library is working with the fam-

At the request of Robert F. Kennedy, Powers in 1964 began assembling and collecting Kennedy memorabilia that was to become part of the library’s permanent exhibit, the library says on its website. He also traveled around the world with an exhibit to raise money for the library’s construction, according to the website. Powers’ daughter, Mary, was not at home and could not be reached for comment Friday. Dan Meader, of John McInnis Auctioneers, played down ownership concerns.
“You have to remember they’ve donated so much stuff through the years,” Meader said. “These are their own private things and the Powers family ... loves the JFK Library and they want to do anything they can do to preserve that legacy that their father started.” Meader said he did not know how much the auction is likely to generate or the estimated total value of the items being sold. The auctioneer’s highest estimate was for the bomber jacket, at $20,000 to $40,000, while some lots were estimated in the $50 to $100 range. The memorabilia, Meader said, has generated interest from all over the world. People from Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Canada, Australia, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and elsewhere have already registered to bid, he said.
Neil LaBute play highlights off-Broadway festival By Mark Kennedy Associated Press
NEW YORK — Next week, you’ll get the chance to see a small play by Neil LaBute that’s running off-Broadway. If you do, you’ll have a leg up on LaBute — he’s never seen it. LaBute, a Kansas University alumnus and the prolific screenwriter and playwright behind “Fat Pig,” ‘’In the Company of Men” and “Your Friends & Neighbors,” last year sub- LaBute mitted a tiny work to the Britishbased collective Theatre Uncut, which asked writers worldwide to respond to their current political climate. LaBute contributed “In the Beginning,” a 10-minute, two-person play in which a skeptical parent and an idealistic child debate the Occupy movement. It was among the highlights of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last summer. Now it’s one of five plays from the series that have made the trip to New York, appearing off-Broadway beginning Tuesday on Theatre Row. It will make its American debut without its playwright having ever seen it. LaBute, in an interview this week from Los
Angeles, laughs that he’s contributed several of his works to various causes but hasn’t been able to watch them, including a new one he just gave to a group in Washington, D.C., pushing for gun control. “You have to be able to hand them over at the steps of the orphanage and say, ‘Look, they’re good kids. I can’t raise them. I managed to have too many. I had a litter. I’m not going to drown them. I’m going to give them to you and you do what you want,” he says. Joining LaBute’s work are “The Price” by Lena Kitsopoulou from Greece, “The Breakout” by Anders Lustgarten from Britain, “The Birth of My Violence” by Marco Canale from Spain and “Spine” by Clara Brennan from Britain. Theatre Uncut was born in 2011 when artistic directors Emma Callander and Hannah Price asked a number of local writers for short plays in response to government spending cuts. Theaters across the world were invited to stage the works over a one-week period without having to fork over licensing fees. The experiment was launched again last year and attracted an international group of playwrights, all mulling current economic and political issues. LaBute jumped at the chance. “When I hear the call
of theater, off I trot,” he says. “While I don’t think of myself as an overtly political person, I do like the process. I like the writing and seeing if I can fit my ideas into this thing or can I even subvert this thing a little?” His play about the Occupy movement tweaks both the older generation wondering what the protest’s diffuse issues have in common and the younger, idealistic generation that wants to borrow money to join it. “As is often the case for me —and probably should be for writers —is not trying to judge the characters, not trying to fall on one side or the other,” he says. “I’m not at my best when I have an answer.” LaBute has a reason he can’t always see his work: He has plenty on his plate. His play “Reasons to Be Happy” — a companion piece to his earlier “Reasons to Be Pretty” — is heading off-Broadway this summer under his direction. And he’s getting a new comedy — “The Money Shot,” about a Hollywood movie set where the actors are asked to have sex for real — ready for a Broadway landing in the fall. In the meantime, he’s open to offering his skills for a good cause. “I don’t play celebrity golf. So this is my celebrity pro-am — giving some time and work to somebody who has an idea that is worthwhile.”
