Kansas holds off CU
BOULDER, Colo. (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.
LaFrentz, however, took charge
late in the game, fueling a 10-0 run
for a 73-64 lead with 3:48 left.
Cold-shooting Colorado (15-4, 6
1) was paced by Billups’ 23 points.
Colorado’s Dennis Griffin made a
free throw to tie the game at 57 with
9:16 left. LaFrentz and Griffin ex
changed baskets, and LaFrentz fol
lowed with a 17-footer before Billups
gave Colorado its first lead on a 3
pointer at 62-61.
LaFrentz then made a basket, and
Colorado’s Martice Moore hit a short
jumper, setting up the Jayhawks’ 10
0 flurry, which started when LaFrentz
missed two free throws but grabbed
the rebound and sewed. In other Big
12 Conference action Sunday, Tfexas
beat Missouri 78-74.

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.”

Husker men lose at OU
MEN from page 7
“We had opportunities, and we
didn’t convert them,” NU Coach
Danny Nee said. “We played hard, but
we didn’t play smart enough. 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.
But Brewer drilled a 4-foot jump
shot with 9:45 to play, igniting a 6-0
run to put OU on top 62-56. The Soon
ers increased their lead to 69-60 fol
lowing a pair of Brewer free throws
with 5:19 remaining in the game.
Neither team budged until Gamer
scored six points in 38 seconds, trim
ming OU’s lead to 75-71 with less than
two minutes to play. After a Lue turn
over —the 6-foot sophomore commit
ted seven playing the entire 40 min
utes — Erdmann sank a free throw,
and Moore slammed a tip of a Lue
miss to pull NU within three with 32.1

We are a lot better

seconds left. Erdmann made two more
free throws before NU guard Alvin
Mitchell scored after rebounding an
other Lue miss, trimming the lead to
78-75 with 23.8 seconds to play.
Brewer then hit another pair of free
throws, and OU forward Lou Moore
rejected a Lue 3-pointer, taking the
ball the length of the court for a dunk
with 11 seconds left to secure the
Sooner win.
Once again on Saturday, foul
trouble hurt NU. After picking up two
early fouls, Moore played only five
minutes in the first half, recording two
points and no rebounds.
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.”
