(AP) — Raef LaFrentz scored 21 points and Jerod Haase added 20 as top-ranked Kansas survived a scare from No. 18 Colo rado before winning 77-68 at the Coors Event Center Sunday. The Jayhawks (20-0, 6-0 Big 12) jumped out to a 13-0 advantage and led by as many as 16 points in the first half, but Colorado guard Chauncey Billups led a second-half rally that put the Buffaloes up 64-63 wfth 6:19 to play.

In other Big 12 Conference action Sunday, Tfexas beat Missouri 78-74. NU women beat OU WOMEN from page 7 During a break in the action, Beck pulled DeForge aside and talked with her about her shooting. “I said, ‘You’re shooting die ball like a dart,*” Beck said. “She took a couple of bad shots early. I didn’t re alize, but I think she might have been a little nervous about setting the record.” DeForge missed one more shot but then was a perfect 9-for-9 shooting the rest of the game. With 8:38 remain ing in the first half she stole the ball and was fouled while making a spin ning layup. With the basket, DeForge became the 16th player ircHusker his tory to score more than 1,000 points in a career. The former Ms. Wisconsin Basket ball, who broke the Wisconsin state scoring record during her high school career, said she was excited to eclipse the 1,000-point marie. “Consciously, I really didn’t think about it that much, but it was on the back of my mind,” said DeForge, who also had nine rebounds and four as sists. “That’s maybe why I came out a little slow, but after I got it, it was out of the way and things were a lot smoother then.” After DeForge’s layup she contrib uted on seven of the Huskers’ next nine points with a 3-pointer and two assists as NU built a 10-point lead with 6:29 left before the half. Nebraska closed the half on a 13 4 run to open a 16-point halftime cush ion. In the second half, the Huskers cmised, using IS different players, 12 of whom scored. For the Sooners, Michele Work man scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds. First-year Oklahoma Coach Sherri Coale said Nebraska is on the edge of belonging with the elite teams of the' conference. “There are definitely four (Texas, Texas Tbch, Kansas and Colorado) in the front seat right now and it’s ev erybody else’s job to mess up the mix a little bit,*’ Coale said. “Nebraska’s right on the edge in that. The only reason I don’t mention them in that group is because they haven’t played those people yet.” Huskers set beam record From Staff Reports The Nebraska women’s gym pasties team pounded Missouri 194.025-189.4 at the Heames Cen ter Friday in Columbia, Mo.

Our ex ecution is not where it should be to win at this level.” Point guard Tyronn Lue tied a ca reer high with 30 points — his fourth conference game with 26 points or more. Bernard Garner scored 15 points, and Moore added 14 for the Huskers, who shot 51 percent from the field to the Sooners’ 44 percent. But Oklahoma out-rebounded the taller Huskers 40-26, forced 17 Ne braska turnovers and hit nine 3-point ers — including eight in the first half —to NU’s three long balls. Senior guard Nate Erdmann sewed 20 of his career-best 34 points in the first half, and junior Corey Brewer provided the knockout punch with 15 points after halftime. “It’s good to see us play well down the stretch,” Sooner Coach Kelvin Sampson said. “We stepped up and won. Good basketball teams do that.” Nebraska did not play well down the stretch. After fighting back from 12 down with less than three minutes to play in the first half, the Huskers trailed 40-34 at the half and took a 55-54 lead on a Moore bucket and free throw with 12:05 to play in the game.

Forwards Larry Florence, who scared just two points on l-of-8 shooting, and \fenson Hamilton fouled out of the game, NU’s second straight loss after a 75-74 setback at Missouri last Wextoesday. “I don’t know where that win is and how we’re going to find it,” Nee said. “But there’s just certain people who didn’t play well today. We need everyone playing well.” On Wednesday, Nebraska begins a 10-day stretch in which it plays four ranked foes, beginning with No. 14 Iowa State in Lincoln. “We are a lot better than most of the teams we play,” NU freshman Cookie Belcher said. “But we always play to their level. We don’t play to our ability. ' “You keep telling yourself that you’ve got to bounce back; but it just gets harder and harder.”
