Twirler wins national championship for KU
Jenna jakowatz
jjakowatz@kansan.com
Shannon Livengood, a sopho-
more from Clay Center, will step
on to Memorial Stadium’s field this
fall to perform as the 2013 national
collegiate champion in baton twirl-
ing.
“I am cur-
rently the only
twirler at KU.
I twirl at every
football game
and pregame
with the March-
ing Jayhawks,”
Livengood said.
Livengood
“I’ve also twirled
at women’s soccer games, women’s
basketball games, and at halftime
for a men’s basketball game in Janu-
ary.”
On Feb. 3, Livengood won the
U.S. Intercollegiate and National
High School Baton Twirling Cham-
pionship held in Liberty, Mo. Out
of five events, Livengood took first
place in Collegiate Freestyle and
2-Baton, second place in Collegiate
Solo, and third place in Collegiate
Fight Song and 3-Baton. Her score
totals in the five events added up to
give her an overall first place fin-
ish.
“It’s a great achievement,” Liv-
engood said. “I competed last year
and got third. Winning overall as a
sophomore is amazing, and repre-
senting KU is a great feeling.”

since she was 4 years old and has

been with her coach Koralea Slagle
since she was 5 or 6 years old.
“She is always messing with the
baton,” Slagle said of Livengood.
“This was a great win for her be-
cause usually she does much better
with a large crowd. This was special
because she did really well in all of
her events.”
Livengood represented the Uni-
versity in competition, with some
of her championship points coming
from her performance in the Col-
legiate Fight Song category, during
which she twirls to the University’s
fight song.
Livengood, the NCABT (Na-
tional Coalition for the Advance-
ment of Baton Twirling), and twirl-
ers around the country are trying
to get baton twirling recognized as
a collegiate sport.
Although Livengood is a mem-
ber of the Marching Jayhawks, she
competed with no financial sup-
port from the University.
“She was representing KU, but
was not financially supported by
KU,” Slagle said.
Dr. Matthew Smith, Director of
the Marching Jayhawks, believes
that Livengood’s national cham-
pionship gives the Marching Jay-
hawks the recognition it deserves
and will attract more performers in
the years to come.
“Her national championship
helps to ensure that future twirlers

Smith also said that Livengood is

“Shannon serves an important

The place has finally resumed
its form. A nice smell permeates
the apartment as a fresh cool

surfaces cleared.
I feel like when my house is
clean I am able to function as
a human-being, but when it’s
destroyed I become a chaotic rav-
ing lunatic. I can’t think straight.
I can’t be productive. Hell, I
can’t even sit comfortably. But,
when I clean up, my entire spirit
seems to come alive again. School
becomes more manageable. I
can sit quietly and read. Or cook
some food.
The simple inability to walk
from one room to another
because there’s a chair in the way
or trash on the floor is enough to
have an effect on you; but when
you let the place completely dis-
integrate, you can bet that you’re
next on the list.
I guess what I’m saying is, if
your place is dirty and you’re
feeling anxious, take the time to
clean it up. It’ll make you feel
good, probably lift your spirit. Or
just leave it dirty. Who knows,
maybe you always keep your
place clean and, at this point,
I actually do look like a raving

because of that, I see many of my
college brethren suffer.
They suffer from pizza igno-
rance.
It’s no secret that Lawrence is
a small unique dot in the vast sea
of red that is Kansas. So you’ve
probably already heard about
the great local businesses that
this city has to offer. Pizza joints
are no exception. Massachusetts
Street is littered with local pizza
eateries, and it seems that there
is a different parlor every step
you take.
Side note: this will be the only
time I acknowledge corporate
pizza chains. They are not worth
my time, and if you think they
are better than one of the many
lovely local pizza parlors in town,
stop reading here.
Because there are so many
local joints, many students are
overwhelmed and don’t realize
that they suffer from pizza igno-
rance. This means they often just
eat the closest slice of pie and
don’t even stop to think they may
be making a terrible decision.
For instance, Ian Cummings,
two-term Kansan Editor-in-
Chief and 1999 Kansas High
School Basketball Association
Slam-Dunk Contest Runner-Up,
loves pizza. Today, Cummings
is the Public Safety reporter for
the Lawrence Journal-World.

Those crimes he committed?
Choosing the wrong pizza.
“I apologize for nothing,”
Cummings said in an exclusive
phone interview conducted as
I wrote this column. “I like the
pizza I like and everyone else is
wrong. Rudy’s is the best pizza
in town, and many other pizza
places are inferior. Your column
is similarly inferior if it doesn’t
conform to my preferences.”
During his Editor-in-Chief
tenure, Cummings and I con-
stantly battled in the Kansan
newsroom over what is “good”
pizza. But I wasn’t the President
of the Kansan Tuesday Night
Pizza Club for nothing.
Cummings often didn’t even
show up.
I’m willing to say that every

pizza places that aren’t near
Massachusetts Street, but some-
times when you’re staggering
out of the bar and need a slice,
Massachusetts Street pizza par-
lors have a much better chance
to blow your alcohol-induced
mind.
So only a few local joints still
fit the criteria. Because I have
spent several years in Lawrence
and had plenty of late night pizza
cravings, I know that Pyramid
Pizza is the only joint that can
provide the world-class pizza I
want—nay, need.
I do enjoy all the other
local pizza eateries, but when
Cummings comes to me with a
slice from Rudy’s, Minsky’s, or
even a ridiculously dispropor-
tional Papa Keno’s slice, I know
he just doesn’t understand pizza.
He is pizza ignorant.
So my dear friends, colleagues,
classmates and, most impor-
tantly, pizzamates: I must educate
you on pizza. Go out there, find
a local joint, and enjoy at least a
“good” slice.
And for the love of pizza, stay
away from Pizza Hut, Dominoes
and Papa Johns.

in converting the most intense
Valentine skeptics, but if you’re
at least neutral on the subject,
humor me.
Maybe you think Valentine’s
Day is a holiday thought up by
Hallmark and Russell Stover
in order to sell more cards and
chocolate to lovesick couples.
Or you may be an attendee at
one of the many anti-Valentine’s
Day parties held on the 14th
of February. Unfortunately,
Valentine’s Day will always have
a stigma surrounding it as a
“made up” or forcibly romantic
holiday.
But for me, Valentine’s Day
has never been solely about a
romantic relationship. Last year
I spent the big day at a produc-
tion of “Mamma Mia!” at the
Lied Center with one of my best
friends. In high school, I made
personalized Valentines to put
in each of my friends’ lockers.
If anything, Valentine’s Day is
a chance to unabashedly show
those around you how much you
care (and you don’t have to buy
expensive gifts to do it).
In addition, I find another
component of Valentine’s Day is
often overlooked. Many people
feel pressure to treat their signifi-

about treating ourselves?
execute) a moderate amount of
self-discipline. I don’t believe any
major problem can be solved by
skipping class, going on a shop-
ping spree or drinking to excess,
even if they feel justified at the
time.
But I am a wholehearted
believer in rewarding yourself on
select occasions, and Valentine’s
Day is one of those times. Even
if you don’t have a boyfriend,
what’s so wrong about picking up
a bouquet of flowers at Dillon’s
or a package of your favorite
candy? And if you don’t have a
girl to take out, why not have
a semi-respectable dinner with
your buddies instead?
Whether you choose to cel-
ebrate Valentine’s Day or not,
avoid seeing it as a negative day
in which you have to (A) suf-
ficiently impress your significant
other, or (B) feel miserable
because of your lack thereof.
There’s no sense in putting a
negative connotation on a day
that (by cynics’ accounts) is just
like any other.
We all have to take time for
ourselves in some way. I’m not
ashamed to be my own valentine,

‘Amour’ will break your heart

“A mour” is a celebration of
life waltzing lockstep with
the encroachment of death, the
kind of movie meant to break your
heart and enrich your soul simul-
taneously. Michael Haneke’s new-
est film, winner of the 2012 Palme
d’Or, is a merciless, unflinching
glimpse into the void, a romance
that ends with the grim assertion
that even a lifelong love must end
as a kind of horror story.
Georges (Jean-Louis Trintig-
nant) and Anne (Emmanuelle
Riva) are retired music teachers,
cultured and independent, deter-
mined to live out their remaining
years in the bohemian comfort
of their Parisian apartment. We
first find them seated in the cav-
ernous depths of a concert hall,
listening to one of Anne’s former
students give a piano concerto to
a sold-out crowd. That night they
return home to find scratch marks
on their door, signs of an apparent
forced entry. The next morning,
during breakfast, the intruder an-
nounces itself when Anne suffers a
mild stroke while in mid-conver-
sation with Georges. Her vacant,
almost serene expression while
her husband frantically tries to re-
vive her will haunt me for a very
long time.
In a matter of weeks, Anne is
paralyzed on the right side of her
body and her mind, once sharp
and full of vigor, begins to deterio-
rate at a frightening rate. Georges,
determined to honor his wife’s

wish not to be hospitalized, elects
to act as her primary caregiver, de-
spite the concerns of the couple’s
grown daughter (Isabelle Hup-
pert). The rest of the movie chron-
icles the final miserable months of
Anne’s infirmity, the indignities
of which are depicted in harsh,
graphic detail.
The demands “Amour” makes
on its audience would be almost
too much to bear if it weren’t for
the extraordinary commitment of
Trintignant and Riva, both staples
of the French New Wave who were
lured back from semi-retirement
by Haneke, who apparently had
the two in mind while he was writ-
ing the script.
Riva, the radiant ex-starlet
whose early career peaked with
1959’s “Hiroshima, Mon Amour,”
gives one of the most natural,
heart-rending performances I’ve
ever seen as Anne, nailing every
facet of this proud, vibrant wom-
an’s gradual decent into oblivion.
In an ideal world, the Best Actress
Oscar would be hers. Trintignant,

blow for blow as the loyal, belea-
guered Georges, tormented by the
thought that his wife now consid-
ers herself a burden.
Haneke, the foreboding Aus-
trian auteur best known for his
interminable long takes and chilly
morality tales like “Funny Games”
and “The White Ribbon,” seems
an unlikely candidate for crafting
a compassionate meditation on
the ravages of old age until you
consider how easily a story like
“Amour” could have dissolved
into a manipulative, ham-fisted
exploitation piece. The director, to
his infinite credit, is not capable of
such sentiment, preferring instead
to focus on two recurrent themes
from his previous films: the de-
cline of reason and the limits of
devotion.

Watching “Amour” can be a dif-
ficult, emotionally draining expe-
rience, especially because nearly
all of us have experienced, or will
experience, something similar to
what Georges and Anne are going
through. Yet despite its universally
tragic subject matter, or more than
likely because of it, “Amour” rep-
resents Haneke’s most humane,
accessible work to date, a film that
deserves to be seen and celebrated
as one of the past year’s few genu-
ine masterpieces.

great about yourself. That way if the
date goes awry, you’ll still be full of
self love.
If you’re planning on going out
with a group of friends, lipstick is
the perfect start. A deep red or hot
pink looks perfect with an all white,
cream or black look. Avoid matching
lipstick with accessories, it can get
really tacky, really fast. Remember
pregnant Natalie Portman at the
2011 Golden Globes? The actress
wore a pink gown with red shoes,
red lipstick and a red bag, all to
match the red rose on the front of
her dress. It was way too put togeth-
er and matchy-matchy, and ended
up looking more appropriate for
a toddler’s beauty pageant formal
look rather than for a prestigious
award show.
Karina Smirnoff’s red peplum dress at the 2013 Santa Barbara International Film
Festival is perfect inspiration for Valentine’s Day date night attire.

Today is Valentine’s Day, which
means it’s the perfect time to deter-
mine the best “power couples”
on television today and how they
have lasted as long as they have.
1. Jim and Pam from “The
Office”: Jim and Pam are a couple
that has maintained their relation-
ship while working together in
the same office for the past nine
seasons. What makes this couple
so powerful is how they have been
able to keep their marriage afloat
while working around the ever-
annoying Michael Scott, all the
while battling the ever-difficult
task of working in the same place
as their spouse.
2. Marshal and Lily Erickson
from “How I Met Your Mother”:
This couple has been together
since their freshman orientation
of college. Now in their 30s, that
is very impressive. It is amazing
that they have lasted while dealing
with the constant moping of their
best friend, Ted, and the constant
shenanigans of the great player,
Barney Stinson. They have sur-
vived everything together from a
broken off engagement to a baby.
Their love can best be described
in terms of their arguments about
the movie “Tommy Boy.” “The
only argument we have ever had
about Tommy Boy is whether it’s
awesome or super awesome. That’s
love, bitch.”
3. Marge and Homer Simpson
from “The Simpsons”: This
couple gets the nod mostly for
Marge putting up with Homer,
the epitome of what foreigners
think of when they think “typi-
cal Americans.” They have been
together the longest of the power
couples on the list, topping out
at 23 long years. With such a
long marriage and the ever lasting
ridiculousness that comes with
living in a town like Springfield,
you have to hand it to these two
love birds for figuring out how to
make it last.
So, whether you are alone
on this Valentines Day or with
that special someone, look to the
relationships of Jim and Pam,
Marshall and Lily, and Homer and
Marge. With all of the craziness of
their lives, they have stuck it out
and love each other to the ends of
the earth. And that’s all we really
want in life, someone to love and
fight through life with.

Celebrating V-Day
around the world
Cara Winkley
cwinkley@kansan.com
The lights are dimmed in the
trendy five-star restaurant; glow-
ing candles sit on tables draped
with the restaurant’s special occa-
sion red table cloths. A couple is
sitting in the corner ordering
overpriced meals, while in the
guy’s head he is silently calculat-
ing how many shifts he is going
to have to work to pay it all off
at the end of the night. After the
waiter leaves, the guy pulls out a
card and a red rose accompanied
by a small black box. The girl
feigns surprise as they had previ-
ously agreed they weren’t going
to exchange gifts this year. This
is what a typical Valentine’s Day
looks like according to American
romantic comedies. However,
countries around the world have
their own ways of celebrating the
Day of Love.
dinner. Family members don’t
usually exchange cards or gifts,
but friends may exchange little
cards just for fun, according to
Megan Lackie, a junior interna-
tional student from Scotland.
Germany
Sometimes countries don’t go
all out in celebrating a holiday
like we do in the United States.
In Germany, Valentine’s Day
is more of a commercial holi-
day. They don’t really celebrate
it. Nicole Westphal, a Lawrence
middle school student teacher
from Germany said that last year
for Valentine’s Day her boyfriend
gave her a rose and some choco-
lates. There are not many people
in Germany who go out to spe-
cial dinners or exchange greet-
ing cards. Not even elementary
schools have Valentine’s Day par-
ties where kids exchange candy
and cards.

No surprises in ‘Safe Haven’

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
When it comes to trying to make
you cry, there are no safe havens in
“Safe Haven.”
The latest film based on a novel
by Nicholas Sparks, the author
who’s elicited more tears than an
onion factory, includes plot points
of spousal abuse, cancer, cute kids,
children in peril, a hunk with a
heavy heart, loss of a parent, letters
from the grave and a lot more.
None of this story is very origi-
nal. But if you have even the tini-
est sliver of romance in you, see no
other movie than this one on Val-

buy chocolates the night before
to give to their loved ones. If
they are single they will bring
the chocolates to school and cel-
ebrate the day with classmates.
Couples will usually go out to
celebrate, according to Law Sin
Tung, a sophomore student from
Hong Kong. The guys aren’t com-
pletely off the hook as the men in
a relationship will normally buy
their girlfriends flowers as well.
Scotland
Scotland celebrates Valentine’s
Day a lot like we do, except way
more low key. Gift-giving used
to be big, but has gotten less
and less popular. Ross Whyte,
a junior student from Scotland,
went to an Italian restaurant and
a concert for Valentine’s Day last
year. He and his girlfriend didn’t
exchange gifts, but they each
paid for a part of the night in its
place. Typical traditions include
exchanging cards and gifts and
going out to a nice restaurant for
14. However, they celebrate a
similar holiday called Dia dos
Namorados “The Day of Lovers,”
on June 12. According to Forbes
magazine, this day is dedicated
to celebrating Saint Anthony, the
patron saint of matchmaking and
marriage. During the celebra-
tion, single women perform ritu-
als such as writing the names of
crushes on pieces of paper the
night before, folding them up
and then opening one on the
big day to determine who they
should marry. Couples will also
exchange small presents such as
chocolate and flowers.

Gameday Schmidt happens

Experience game day

without the Fieldhouse
Chris Schader
editor@kansan.com
Camping for Kansas basket-
ball games is time-consuming
and strenuous for students who
choose to participate in this tradi-
tion. Students who want to attend
the biggest games of the season,
like Saturday’s College Gameday
matchup against Texas, must not
only camp for about a week, but
they also have to pay for and pick
up tickets. Luckily, there are numer-
ous options for students who can’t
afford or don’t have the time to
purchase tickets or attend basket-
ball games. Here are the top places
where students should go to watch
age. The doors to the venue open
one hour before tipoff, and entry
is free.
23rd Street Brewery,
3512 Clinton Parkway
23rd Street Brewery is a restau-
rant filled with Jayhawk pride with
dishes like the Charlie Weis, Ritch
Price and the Bill Self, but that’s not
the only reason to go there. The res-
taurant is one of the most popular
places to watch Kansas basketball
games because of the atmosphere.
Managing partner Matt Llewellyn
says that the restaurant is almost
always filled with people during
Kansas basketball season. “Home
games are the best for us because we
to watch the games is almost equal.
“I’d say it’s about 40 percent stu-
dents and about 60 percent locals,”
Renfro said. Despite the 8 p.m.
tipoff for Saturday night’s game
against Texas, Johnny’s is expect-
ing a packed house. “I think it
will be bigger than usual because
of College Gameday,” Renfro said.
“The beauty of it is that we don’t
really have to promote Gameday to
get people to come in; I just have to
unlock the doors.”

Known by most as a prominent

Liberty Hall promotes the fact that
they “have the biggest screen in
Lawrence to watch KU basketball
games. People claim to have the
biggest screen to watch games on,
but we actually do,” said manager
Dean Edington. With a different
viewing experience than sports

with stadium seating, a state of the
art concert hall sound system and a
full bar for those of legal drinking

Johnny’s Tavern,
401 N. second St.
A Lawrence tradition since 1953,
Johnny’s Tavern has become a sig-
nature location for students and
locals to watch Kansas basketball
games. Rick Renfro, an owner of
Johnny’s says the number of stu-
dents and locals who go to Johnny’s
pus, it’s still one of the best places
in town to enjoy a game. “We are
pretty much full for every home
game,” Koehn said. “The students
that we usually do really well with
are the ones that are from around
here and that have come in from
Kansas City.” For the day of the
Texas game, Set’em Up Jacks will
have ESPN on throughout the day
to provide patrons with live updates
and information prior to tipoff.

Matt Easton, a senior from
Libertyville, Ill., is working to
avoid the constraints of falling
into any one musical genre by
creating one that is all his own.
Easton is both a rapper and musi-
cian and feels that there is a niche
in the music market for artists
like him.
“I first started making rap music
freshman year of high school as a
joke. I made some albums here
and there in this little rap group,”
Easton said. “I took my music
more seriously in college though,
and I got into producing during
my freshman year. My solo career
started when I was a sophomore,
once I started making my own
beats and playing the piano.”
When asked if he had any musi-
cal background, Easton replied
that he has had none at all. “My
dad plays piano, so my whole life
I grew up listening to him. I play
by ear. Everything has been com-
pletely self-taught. I don’t know
how to read music at all.” Easton
started composing this past year.
Drawing on the musical influ-
ences of Coldplay and Eminem—
an unusual combination—Easton
aims for a cross between the two.
Currently, Easton is focused on
branding and marketing. His logo,
ME, was created with the help of
his manager and co-writer, Brian
Taylor. The logo encompasses
all aspects of Easton’s music and
individuality. “We’re working with
this ME logo, branding the Matt
Easton name and what we stand
for. The logo represents the indi-
vidual and touches on the phrase,
‘I’m gonna do me,’” Easton said.
Musically, Easton is working on
a new EP release for iTunes. While
creating music is of high priority,
Easton also wants to focus on cre-
ating more music videos.
“As an artist, music videos are
what you need to get your name
out there,” Easton said.
The Matt Easton YouTube
channel currently has more than
1.3 million hits. His most noted
video among Jayhawks however,
is the “Rockchalk” rap.
“It didn’t blow up the way we
thought it would, but I produced
that beat and something about
it felt very uplifting and family
oriented,” Easton said. “KU is like
a rockchalk family.”
After graduation, Easton plans
on moving back to Chicago and
touring college towns.

COMMENTARY phog advisory

Talent alone not

enough to win

By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com

T
he worst mistake Kansas can
make this Saturday is to take
Texas lightly.
The Jayhawks often have a “we
are Kansas” aura of infallibility.
They don’t always have to fight
for the 50/50 balls, or fight hard
through a screen, or make the extra
pass instead of taking a guarded
shot. Other teams do that, and it
means a loss. The Jayhawks do that,
it simply means they win by fewer
points.
This way of thinking has already
stung the Jayhawks three times this
year. First, it was Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys are a capable team, Travis Young/Kansan
but the Jayhawks were playing at Sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe looks for an open player while being defended by Texas sophomore guard Myck Kabongo during the first half of the game. Kansas won against Texas 73-63.

the Phog. The mighty Jayhawks
playing at home is the equivalent of
giving the Karate Kid a bug-zapper.
He’s going to catch the fly with the
chopsticks; there’s no need to make
it any easier.
However, Jayhawk pride got the
best of Kansas, and it went down at
home to Oklahoma State in a game
that wasn’t as close as the score
made it appear.
Despite the loss, Kansas players
continued to underestimate their
opponents, in this case TCU. The
Horned Frogs are the doormat of
the Big 12. They are the turnstile
to get into the subway. But to get
through the turnstile, you have to
pay your dues. The Jayhawks did
not appear to take the game seri-
ously, and it resulted in an embar-
rassing upset.
Finally, it seemed as though
Kansas went into the Oklahoma
game with the mentality that there
was no way it could lose three
games in a row. Spoiler alert: Kansas
lost.
It took the knowledge that the
Jayhawks were capable of continued
failure to cause the team to come
out and lay a beat down on the
Wildcats. Kansas needs to go into
every game with the mindset that if
they do not play their absolute best
as a team, a loss to any team in the
country is possible.
A win requires more than having
outstanding talent, although it cer-
tainly helps. More often than not,
talent trumps all else. But knowl-
Kabongo is back
Having its star player back might ignite Texas
Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
All year long there have been
two questions looming over
this Texas team before they visit
Lawrence on Saturday:
How bad are the Longhorns?
How much better does Myck
Kabongo make them?
The Texas team that will take
James Naismith Court this week-
end won’t be like the squad Kansas
faced in Austin a month ago. This
time, the Jayhawks will have to
prepare for a versatile point guard
that is capable of changing the
makeup of the Longhorns.
Kabongo adds speed, court-
vision and a basketball IQ that
takes the Texas offense to a much
more dangerous level.
And now that Kabongo’s
women’s basketball
23-game NCAA suspension for
receiving—and lying about—
impermissible benefits has been
lifted, Kansas will be playing a
rejuvenated and retooled group of
Longhorns.
At least that’s what the idea is.
There are still those who believe
Texas’ chances won’t improve even
with the sophomore’s return.
“The Myck Kabongo returning
to Texas situation is overrated,” said
ESPN Big 12 writer Jason King. “I
think it’s being overplayed. I don’t
think Myck Kabongo would have
a made a huge difference for that
team this season.”
Just don’t tell that to the
Longhorns. In Kabongo’s first
game back Wednesday night ver-
sus Iowa State, the reinstated guard
had 13 points, seven assists and
grabbed four rebounds. You could
chalk it up to an emotional return,
but considering the amount of
coverage Texas will be getting
on Saturday with ESPN College
Gameday coming to town, he’ll
likely still be motivated to prove
himself.
But King’s argument isn’t that
the Jayhawks shouldn’t worry about
Kabongo, rather that Texas’ prob-
lems this season extend beyond
the play of its point guard.
The Longhorns are second to
last in the conference in the free
throw percentage, last in rebound-
ing defense and last in turnover
margin.
A point guard can solve a lot of
problems, but not all of them.
“He’s a good player,” King said
of Kabongo. “But not an All-Star.
He had a mediocre season as a
freshman and I think it’s just an
excuse Texas is using for a bad
season.”
Yet Kansas coach Bill Self
doesn’t seem to be taking
Kabongo’s return lightly. He too
calls Kabongo’s return dangerous
for the Jayhawks.
That’s probably overstated.
In two games against the
Jayhawks last year Kabongo went
1-11 from the field with eight
assists and four rebounds. Not
exactly a game-changing stat line.
As King puts it, Texas has a
lot of nice players, and a lot of
role players but no studs. Which
is quite a change for a program
that’s recently produced NBA tal-
ents like Kevin Durant, LaMarcus
Aldridge, D.J. Augustin, Cory
Joseph and Tristan Thompson.
It’s not just all about produc-
tion when it comes to Kabongo,
however. It’s about the dynamic he
brings to the Longhorns.
“We don’t have rhythm,” Texas
head coach Rick Barnes said after
Texas fell to Oklahoma State last
Saturday. “We don’t have any-
thing going. I realize some of it is
because Myck plays point differ-
ently. All year long, we have tried
to get consistency and we haven’t.”
There’s no doubt that Texas and
its fans expect that consistency to
return with Kabongo.
Even Barnes sets the bar high
for the sophomore who King says
has yet to reach elite status.
When he was asked to answer
the two looming questions Barnes
joked with reporters.
“I think we’d be 23-0,” Barnes
scoffed. “Number one in the coun-
try.”

a detriment. Once Kansas realized
that its talent was not enough after

anomaly. If they do, Texas could
sneak out of the Fieldhouse with a
win. The Longhorns, a perennial
power in the Big 12, are having
an off year. By record alone, they
should not pose much of a threat,
although former five-star recruit
Myck Kabongo is returning to
the lineup after a suspension for
improper contact with an agent.
Nevertheless, Kansas must approach
the game as if it is the underdog.
The victory over Kansas State
was not a remedy for all of Kansas’
problems. It still struggles with
a half-court offense, with low
post scoring, and with turnovers.
Thinking the problems are fixed is a
sure recipe for regression.
Kansas should still play with
swagger, but swagger as a result
of current play, rather than talent-
based potential.

Twenty-two point deficit, not a
problem.
Early in the season, the Kansas
Jayhawks came back from an
18-point deficit to defeat Iowa State
in overtime. So why not make it
even more thrilling?
Fueled by senior guard Monica
Engelman and her career-high 26
points, the Jayhawks found a way
to erase the large deficit and win
76-75. The big come-from-behind
victory was the fifth comeback of
the season.
“I couldn’t be more proud (of
our team), to just to not give in,

Longhorns brought out the best in Chalmers
Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com
Besides a non-conference get-
together with Memphis, there’s
probably not a more perfect op-
ponent for Kansas to play when
it retires Mario Chalmers’ jersey
than Texas.
Known for hitting the critical
shot against Memphis in the 2008
NCAA Championship game,
Chalmers also played some of his
best basketball against the Long-
horns. He averaged 17.6 points in
six games against Texas, includ-
ing a 20.3 scoring average in his
final four games against them.
Kansas coach Bill Self said
that it’s merely coincidence that
Chalmers, now the Miami Heat’s
starting point guard, will see his
jersey retired against a team that
brought out the best in him.
“The reason we picked that day
was strictly because of NBA all-
star weekend,” Self said. “The fact
that it’s Texas and he performed
so well against Texas and it’s Col-
lege Gameday definitely just adds
to it.”
Chalmers probably was not the
biggest name on the floor when-
ever the Jayhawks and Longhorns
faced off. His teammates included
Julian Wright, Brandon Rush,
Darrell Arthur and Sherron Col-
lins.
Those Texas teams featured
names like LaMarcus Aldridge,
D.J. Augustin and A.J. Abrams.
During the two matchups in the
2006-2007 season, the spotlight
belonged to a freshman named
Kevin Durant. He dropped 32 and
37 points against the Jayhawks.
But Kansas never lost to him.

At A Glance
Kansas put together its first com-
plete conference game Monday against
Kansas State, playing well from start to
finish. The Jayhawks played miserably
during the middle portion of their first
game against Texas before a late surge
downed the Longhorns. If Kansas keeps
the rhythm it had Monday, it shouldn’t
have to sweat out the result until the
final couple of minutes. But Texas has
a new weapon in Myck Kabongo, who
returned from a 23-game suspension
Wednesday night against Iowa State.
Player To Watch
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Bill Self said
Tharpe played
his best half of
basketball this
season during the
first half against
Kansas State,
when he had
seven points and Tharpe
six assists. Eli-
jah Johnson’s experience and leadership
means he will continue to start at the
point, but it’s important for Tharpe to be
able to enter games and have an effect
immediately. If he needs a few minutes
to get into the flow of the game, it may
be minutes Kansas can’t afford to give.
That was no problem Monday.
Question Mark
Where is this Kansas team
right now?
After displaying some of its worst
basketball of the season, Kansas dis-
played its best basketball of conference
play against the Wildcats. It’s hard to tell
from just one game if Kansas is perma-
nently out of its funk, but the signs were
encouraging. Another dominating wire-
to-wire performance Saturday would be
a good indication that Kansas has put
its past behind them, but a sloppy slug-
fest might indicate Kansas isn’t back to
being the clear-cut conference favorites.
Big Jay will cheer if...
The Jayhawks play with the same
energy they did Monday night. Ben Mc-
Lemore doesn’t have to score 30 points
again, but having four starters score in
double figures again would be huge. It
was the first time Kansas had four play-
ers in double figures since the Texas Tech
game Jan. 12. Julius Randle, one of the
country’s top recruits, will be in atten-
dance, and College GameDay is in Law-
rence for the weekend. There’s no reason
Kansas shouldn’t come out juiced.

BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
Kansas might be unbeatable when McLemore
shoots the ball the way he did against Kansas
State. He shot the ball confidently and showed a
decisiveness the whole team lacked during its los-
ing streak. One of the most encouraging signs was
the way he didn’t let two early turnovers affect his
mindset or willingness to score.
McLemore
★★★★★
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Releford continues to be a model of consistency
for the Jayhawks. He chipped in 10 points on 4-8
shooting against the Wildcats. Foul trouble lim-
ited him to only 22 minutes, but when he was in
the game his tenacity fighting through screens on
defense kept the Wildcats’ shooters from getting
many good looks.
Releford
★★★★✩
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
The Jayhawks now know they can have a rhyth-
mic game offensively even if Johnson struggles.
The point guard scored only five points and missed
all four 3-point attempts against Kansas State. He
showed better decision-making later in the second
half when he bypassed a couple of open threes so
as not to let his cold shooting hamper Kansas’s
momentum.
Johnson
★★★✩✩
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD
For the first time in conference play, Young’s
energy brought a noticeable difference to the Jay-
hawks’ tempo against Kansas State. It’s no coin-
cidence that, when Young is part of a high-tempo
Kansas offense, the Jayhawks look much crisper.
When teams have to worry about him receiving
passes for easy dunks down low, it takes defenders
away from Withey.

JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
Withey’s had at least four blocks in three of the
last six games after having fewer than four blocks
in the five games before that. His presence in the

Road trip to challenge

Jayhawks tennis team
TYLER CONOVER
tconover@kansan.com
After opening the season with
consecutive wins, the Jayhawks
tennis team was unable to navigate
through Tulsa’s Golden Hurricane,
and fell to 2-1 last weekend. Kansas
has a golden opportunity this week-
end to put that loss behind them as
the team heads to South Carolina
for a pair of matches.
On the menu for the Jayhawks
this weekend are matches against
Charleston Southern and No. 67
ranked College of Charleston.
After suffering its first sweep
of the spring season in doubles
play against Tulsa, Kansas needs
to get back to the level it was at
against Denver and St. Louis where
the team was a combined 5-1 in
doubles play.
The best pair in doubles play
so far this spring has been junior
Dylan Windom and freshman
Maria Jose Cardona who are 2-1 so
far. As for singles play the Jayhawks
No. 1 player junior Haley Fournier
is listed as day-to-day with an
undisclosed injury. Kansas is in
capable hands though as junior
Claire Dreyer is 15-2 in singles
play dating back to the fall season.
Paulina Los is playing well also as
she is 2-1 in singles play, and 2-1 in
doubles, this spring.
This road trip has potential to
be difficult as the Jayhawks are
untested after a loss, and Kansas
has to play a ranked College of
Charleston team early Saturday
morning after playing Friday at 2
p.m. against Charleston Southern.
If Fournier is unable to play this
weekend it will be a good opportu-
nity for the younger players to step
up and potentially gain confidence
against some solid competition. Tyler Roste/Kansan

Women’s team shows promise Butler falls to unranked

Last season, the Kansas Jayhawks
women’s golf team finished last in
Big 12 play. Not good. Last fall,
the team won back-to-back tourna-
ments and added two more top ten
finishes. Good.
The conclusion of one of the team’s
best fall seasons in program history
has given reason for plenty of excite-
ment. Giving the Jayhawks a boost
along the way has been freshman
Yupaporn “Mook” Kawinpakorn
who won the Price’s “Give ‘Em Five”
Intercollegiate tournament at the
New Mexico State University Golf
Course in Las Cruces, N.M., on Oct.
10. Junior Thanuttra Boonraksasat
was the Jayhawks leading scorer in
the fall. Together, the two Thailand
natives have been the team’s two
lowest stroke averages; a kind of
foreign aid the Jayhawks can’t suc-
ceed without.
“Fong is a little celebrity around

improving. Mook has come in and
played really well right out of the
gate,” said head coach Erin O’Neil
Miller to kuathletics.com in a recent
interview. “I am proud of both of
them because it is not an easy thing
to come over here, adjust to a differ-
ent culture, a different style of golf
and team golf. They have done a
very good job.”
The two have unquestionably led
the squad on the course, but the sup-
porting cast is close behind. Players
like Meghan Potee and Audrey
Yowell have helped hold the group
together. The top five players for the
Jayhawks have a scoring range of
just 2.7 strokes.
Conference-wise, the only way to
go is up for Kansas. Last fall was just
what the Jayhawks needed to dis-
tance themselves from last season’s
nightmare.
“They want to maintain what they
started in the fall,” Miller said in the
kuathletics.com interview. “Their
goal was to give 120 percent every
day, to have no excuses, to take 10
presents
seconds before responding or react-
ing… It seems to have worked real
well in the fall.”
The Jayhawks’ 2013 campaign will
kick off tomorrow in Tallahassee,
Fla. for the Florida State Match Up
Invitational. The tournament is a
format switch up for the Jayhawks,
pitting teams in their own separate
matches against each other. Kansas
is set to square off against Furman
on opening day.
The anxiety for the 2013 tee-off
has been building among the squad,
and with an impressive spring
behind them, the Jayhawks are anx-
ious to show what they can do.
“I think it is a good confidence-
builder,” Miller said in the same
interview. “There is definitely some
good momentum. They are very
excited to get started this spring… I
think they are really excited to keep
going and see what they can accom-
plish this season.”

Kansas 76, TCU 75

Women’s Basketball reWIND

The Jayhawks were able to convert a 23-point deficit in Fort Worth into a win for another comeback this season
Max goodwin
mgoodwin@kansan.com
In a 23-point come-from-behind
victory on Wednesday night
against TCU, the Jayhawks won the
rebounding margin by 24. Kansas
pulled down 58 rebounds over the
course of the 76-75 win in Fort
Worth, Texas.
Sophomore forward Chelsea
Gardner grabbed 18 of those
rebounds. That new career-high in
rebounds for Gardner comes after
Saturday’s game in which she had
just two rebounds.
Gardner likes to take pride in
her blocked shots on the defensive
end, and came up with a career-
high there as well with 6 blocks.
In the second half alone, as
Kansas made its comeback,
Gardner had five points and 10
rebounds. Also in the second half,
senior guard Monica Engelman
came to life, and scored 18 points
with four rebounds, two assists and
one blocked shot.
For the Jayhawks, there can’t
be much of a better sign than to
see Engelman play this way and
break out of a slump in a major
way. Engelman scored a career-
best 26 points in the game. It was
her 3-point shot from the left-wing
with 3:28 left in the second half that
gave the Jayhawks their first lead of
the game.
Senior Carolyn Davis also pro-
vided 13 rebounds, giving the
Jayhawks 31 rebounds between
their two starting post-players.
Kansas Coach Bonnie
Henrickson has mentioned
rebounding as one of her “tough-
ness areas,” and it has been an
area of focus for the Jayhawks all
season. This appears to be the type
of performance on the boards that
Henrickson has been hoping to
see.
Henrickson said the team was
soft in their last game against
West Virginia. It was clear that
Henrickson was talking about the
team as a collective group, but

More than 1,900 games
Remembering the night Kevin Durant dropped 25 points in Allen Fieldhouse
Ryan Mccarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Mario Chalmers  loved playing
against Texas.
He scored a career-high 30 points
against the Longhorns in the 2008
Big 12 championship game.
He hit arguably the biggest shot
in Kansas basketball history with
his three-pointer against Memphis
in the 2008 National Championship
game.
But a game that might get over-
looked is one where he and Kansas
won their 1,900th game and fourth
consecutive conference against
the Texas Longhorns by a score of
90-86.
Why is this game memorable?
Because the Jayhawks played Kevin
Durant that day.
On March 3, 2007, Durant stepped
into Lawrence with the same profes-
sionalism and confidence that he
shows most games while playing for
the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Kansas coach Bill Self remembers
the game, particularly the first half.
“We probably defended him
above average, and he probably got
25 in that first half. It was one of
those days when he could’ve got 35
or 40 in a half.
“Even Danny (Manning) on the
bench said, ‘That’s a bad man. That’s
the baddest man to play here.’”
Another astute observer
of the game that day was Brady
McCollough, one of the University
beat writers for the Kansas City Star.
At that time, McCollough was just
starting to cover the Jayhawks. This
was one of the first games he covered
inside Allen Fieldhouse.
For him, the first half was big-
ger than your everyday impressive
performance.
“That was definitely the best half
that anyone has ever played in Allen
Fieldhouse in at least the six years I
had been watching games—and it’s
not even close,” he said recently in
an interview.
McCollough remembers writing a
story about Durant’s performance in
that game, but more than anything
he remembers the reaction from the
Kansas fans.
“You’re used to seeing at KU, in
the big games at Allen, the crowd,
and the KU defense and Bill Self ’s
man-to-man defense teams just sti-
fling them and taking them out of
their rhythm, beating by 10, 15, even
20 points in the first half.
“And here Durant is totally unfazed
by it, loving it. And you could tell he
loved being at Allen Fieldhouse, and
he respected the venue. He’s just
drilling shots in people’s faces and
the crowd, it starts with an ‘ooh’ and
‘aah’ and by the end of the first half
the place was quiet. “

Durant steals show in Kansas’ 90-86 victory
Texas’ Kevin Durant shoots over Kansas forward Julian Wright in the first half of the
game in Allen Fieldhouse March 5, 2007. Durant, then a freshman, scored 25 points
in the first half. He finished with 32 points after leaving the game for a few minutes
in the second half with an ankle injury.

history with Mario Chalmers
and Kansas basketball
Gary Amble, the morning mete-
orologist for KCTV-5, was at the
game as a fan. A longtime Jayhawk
supporter since graduating from the
University in 1987, he experienced a
variety of emotions that day in the
Fieldhouse.
“I know my wife was getting a
little upset because he couldn’t miss,
but I said, ‘You know what, just
enjoy it because this is something
you never get to see.’ I think even to
this day he would probably have to
remember because I don’t think I’ve
ever seen a player do that before,”
Amble said.
To put the first half in perspective,
here’s some numbers from that day:
• Durant led the Longhorns on an
18-4 run, including a stretch where
he scored 12 straight points.
• He scored the most points in a
single half by a KU opponent since
Texas Tech’s Rayford Young put up
35 on Feb. 13, 1999.
• His ten field goals were the most
made in a half against Kansas since
Pepperdine’s Gerald Brown made 10
on Dec. 18, 1997.
Julian Wright, a sophomore for-
ward at the time, drew the assign-
ment of guarding Durant for most
of the first half.
“All you can do is contest,” Wright
said after the game in 2007. “Coach
was telling us to make him put it on
the ground and stay on him.  We
threw a lot of guys on him to try to
give him some different looks.  He’s a
great player and has a bright future.”
Durant might have had a great
first half; the second half was a dif-
ferent story.
After trailing by 14 points, Kansas
went on a 22-6 run in the first four
minutes of the second half, and

points against
the Jayhawks
eventually gained a 64-61 lead.
A few big plays by senior cen-
ter Sasha Kaun and junior forward
Brandon Rush predicated this come-
back, but it was two big shots by
Chalmers that ended up leading the
Jayhawks to the eventual victory.
In fact, he hit two shots from
almost exactly the same spot on
Naismith Court. One was at the
16:40 mark, the other with 11:50
remaining in the game.
Tully Corcoran, a former Kansas
basketball beat writer for the Topeka-
Capitol Journal, remembers it as one
of the first times Chalmers displayed
his ability to hit clutch shots against
the Longhorns.
“He always did that against Texas,”
Corcoran said. “He was like the
UT-killer.”
The game appeared to be turning
into a shootout: two dueling future
NBA players leading their teams.
But Durant’s magical game took
an unfortunate turn when he twisted
his ankle with 11:20 remaining in
the game.
Durant was driving through the
lane, just as he had several other
times throughout the game, but
this he landed funny and the ankle
turned.
Durant’s father, Wayne Pratt, was
at the game that day and remembers
it changing the momentum of the
game.
“I think it did a little bit,” Pratt said
in an interview last week. “I think
Kansas also played better defense in
the second half. They just changed
up, and their defensive intensity was
a lot more.
“I do believe him twisting his
ankle took his aggressiveness away a
little bit, too, because it was still sore
and when I came down to check on
him, he was still hopping around
a little bit. I don’t think he was as
aggressive.”
Mark Dent
editor@kansan.com
Danny Manning was right.
He and Texas star Kevin Durant
are not even comparable. Durant’s
display from Saturday left Kansas
coach Bill Self thinking of some
of the NBA’s all-time greats.
As Durant dropped three-
pointers, stole the ball from
guards and pulled up for mid-
range jumpers, he looked like a
former Celtic great.
“He’s a different type of athlete
than Larry,” Self said, “but Bird
may be the guy.”
A different type of athlete in
that he can run the floor in a way
Bird could never dream of. Du-
rant’s athletic ability is far greater
than Bird’s. What Durant did in
the first half on Saturday — 25
points on 10-for-14 shooting,
including 5-for-5 from three-
point range — was reminiscent of
someone even more special.
“Michael doesn’t get on rolls
like he got on there,” Self said.
Durant was Michael Jordan

named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s honor rolls in 2007 and 2008. Kansas never

(Left) Morningstar was a sophomore on the 2008 National Championship team, but was
redshirted and spent time helping the Jayhawks in practice. The year off did wonders for
his college career as he went on to start 25 games as a senior in the 2010-11 season,
averaging 7.1 points per game. Since leaving Kansas, Morningstar has spent time playing
in Greece and in the NBA D-League, most recently with the Tulsa 66ers, but was cut on
January 25 after injuring himself.

(Right) Reed may not have been the most productive member of the 2008 team, but you
can’t argue against someone with the title of “Winningest Jayhawk In Kansas History”
— 132 wins on 17 losses. It’s also hard to argue with the facts: Reed has two Final Four
appearances, one National Championship, four Big 12 titles and was named an Academic
All-American. Since leaving Kansas Reed spent time playing in Belgium, but has returned
stateside and is currently a student at KU Med.

The Memphis perspective on the Jayhawks’ miracle
Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
By the time the 2008 Jayhawks
lifted the National Championship
trophy many of the players had suf-
fered through tournament catastro-
phes against Bradley and Bucknell.
They had overcome hard times and
achieved the ultimate goal.
This is not their story.
The end of the 2006-07 season saw
Memphis trounced in the Elite Eight
by the Greg Oden-led Ohio State
Buckeyes. Yet as bad as the 92-76 de-
feat looked on paper, there were signs
pointing to a potentially historic year
heading into next season.
Four starters from that Elite Eight
team — Robert Dozier, Joey Dorsey,
Allen Anderson and Chris Douglas-
Roberts — were returning to the
Tigers, and the third-highest ranked
recruit in the nation, point guard
“
Derrick Rose, chose to attend Mem-
phis that year.
The Tigers were on the cusp of
becoming a top program under
coach John Calipari and expectations
reached a crescendo as the 2007—08
season neared.
“That was one of those rare years
where you knew going in that that
was a team that was Final Four or
bust,” said Dan Wolken, who at the
time covered the Tigers for the Mem-
phis Commercial Appeal.
Now a National College Football
writer for USA TODAY, Wolken re-
members the hype going into that
season with ease.
“For Memphis there was no ques-
tion,” Wolken said. “From the day
the season ended the year before in
the Elite Eight game, they knew they
were probably going to get back un-
less something went badly wrong.”
With as prolific a lineup as the Ti-
gers boasted heading into the season,
there were few qualms with Mem-
phis’ team. When the preseason polls
were released in November, the Ti-
gers were ranked third behind North
Carolina and UCLA — Kansas fol-
lowed behind in fourth.
By week five, UCLA dropped to
seven and Memphis moved up to
second. On January, 21 the Tigers
were ranked No. 1 with Kansas sit-
ting at No. 2.

Memphis, UCLA, North Carolina
and Kansas were the big dogs in col-
lege basketball,” Wolken recalled.
“There was a gap between those four
teams and everybody else.”
The gap widened as Memphis
came up with convincing wins. In
non-conference play, the Tigers
knocked off Blake Griffin’s Okla-
homa Sooners and Connecticut in
the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament
at Madison Square Garden. A few
weeks later they returned to New
York and took down USC.
Memphis handled No. 5 George-
town at home and No. 17 Arizona
five days later. The Tigers wouldn’t
lose a game until No. 2 Tennessee

and knocked off the kings of college

truly vulnerable.

one thing. What if foul trouble oc-
curred to one of their big guys? How
were they going to play? Would they
have enough size against a team like
Kansas?”
And people in Memphis were fol-
lowing the Jayhawks. It was hard not
to. Kansas had been right behind the
Tigers in the polls for most of the
season. They were the last two un-
beaten teams in the top 25 and once
Memphis joined the ranks as another
beatable college basketball team,
more doubts began to emerge for its
title hopes.
“They got to the Tennessee game
and it was just a horribly played
game,” Wolken said. “Too much
hype, too much emotion. It was a big

But Tigers were still good enough
to claim the Conference USA regu-

earned a No. 1 seed for the NCAA

Once the tournament got under-
way the doubts began creeping up
again, even as Memphis rolled its
way to a Final Four match-up with

laid the foundation for what could
be the best recruiting class in Bill
Self ’s tenure at KU.

Yet with room to add a few more
names to the roster, the Jayhawks
have their eyes set on a few other
top-ranked recruits, namely five-
star power forward Julius Randle,
who is due to visit Lawrence  on
Saturday.
At 6 feet 9 inches and 225
pounds, Randle is ranked as the
second best player in the nation —
first in his position — and has been
sought after by many of the top col-
legiate programs in the nation.
Florida, Kentucky, Texas, Duke

have extended offers to the Plano,

Texas, however, is expected.
ESPN regards Randle as a pro
in the making who can attack the

Simply put, if Self can bring the
big man to Lawrence, any question
marks remaining about his recruit-

some time.
