KU dominates Big Eight

Ifthe Kansas basketball team’sNew
Year’s resolution were to win every
game, the Jayhawks are off to a good
start.
The third
ranked Jayhawks
will enter
Wednesday
night’s showdown
against Iowa State
with an 18-1 over
all record. For the
first time since
imm 1971, Kansas is 6
Williams 0 in the Big Eight.
The 1971 Jayhawk team finished
14-0 in the Big Eight and 27-3 overall,
losing in the Final Four.
In the 25 years since Kansas’ per
fect season, only Missouri’s 1993-94
team has finished the league with a
perfect record.
The Jayhawks have trailed at half
time only twice this year and won both
times.
Kansas has made a habit of break
ing games open in the second half, and
Jayhawk coach Roy Williams says it
has nothing to do with his halftime
speeches.
“It’s like boxing,” Williams said.
“Sometimes you have to spar a couple
rounds. We make the adjustments,
and the kids play better.”
Kansas boasts a deep frontcourt
with a lot of size.
On Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse in
Lawrence, Kan., Kansas State coach
Tom Asbury witnessed firsthand the
Jayhawks’ power during Kansas’
come-from-behind 72-62 win over the
Wildcats.
“They wear you down,” Asbury
said. “They’re deep and talented.”

part of the frontcourt. LaFrentz is av
eraging 13.8 points and 8.5 rebounds
per game. Williams said LaFrentz’s
development had been a key to the
Jayhawks’ success.
“Raef s doing a lot of good things,”
Williams said. “We need him to stay
active like he’s been doing.”
Kansas, which finished the month
of January with a 10-0 record, starts
three j uniors, a sophomore and a fresh
man. True freshman Paul Pierce, who
scored a season-high 25 points against
Nebraska, is averaging 13.4 points
per game.*
All five Jayhawk starters average
double figures in points, and none of
Kansas’ three seniors average more
than six points per game.

Iowa State coach Tim Floyd says
the Cyclones w ill have their hands full
on Wednesday night when they travel
to Lawrence to challenge the
Jayhawks.
Iowa State is 16-4 overall and a
surprising 5-1 in the conference —
good for sole possession of second
place.
“They’re terrific. They have great
depth,” Floyd said. “It’ll be a difficult
game.”
But if the Jayhawks win Wednes
day night, Floyd said, it wouldn’t be
because the Cyclones were on the
road.
“It will be because the Kansas
Jayhawks are a good basketball team.”
Eierman
Continued from Page 7
The following year as a sophomore,
he claimed All-American honors with
a 30-14 record at 142 pounds.
As a junior in 1993-94, Eierman
battled Justin Ware for the starting
spot at 142 for the first half of the
season, competing in several open
meets and seven duals.
But he missed the entire second
half of the 93-94 season because of
the deaths of his brother’s girlfriend
and one of his best friends in a car
accident. Eierman was granted a hard
ship for the 93-94 season, and wrestled
again as a junior in the 1994-95 sea
son.
That would give him a fifth year to
finish his fourth season of eligibility.
However, Penrith said opposing
coaches at last weekend’s duals ques
tioned the validity of the hardship.
Under NCAA rules, a wrestler can be
granted a hardship season if he com
petes in less than 20 percent of a
team’s competition.
Penrith said compliance officials
would reexamine Eierman’s 1993-94
season today to see if he exceeded the
20 percent limit. llw
Since the hardship season has al
ready been cleared once by the NCAA,
Penrith said he thought Eierman would
have no problem remaining eligible.
If he is deemed ineligible,
Nebraska’s dual victory over Okla
homa would have to be forfeited.
Brenden

“I would like to play a lot better
than I have and raise my level of play
up a few notches,” Brenden said.
Brenden is a player who is very
dedicated to her teammates, Beck said,
and never puts individual goals ahead
of the team.
After weekend victories against the
Sooners and Oklahoma State, Brenden
said, the Huskers still have hopes of
winning the Big Eight championship
and earning a good spot in the NCAA
Tournament next month.
“She’s the type ofkid that you want
to have on your team,” Beck said, “not
the opposing team.”
