SHOPPING
Plan to shop smarter, not harder this holiday week
While battling the crowds in the
frigid midnight air is probably not
appealing to most, major retailers
are ofering deals you defnitely
wont want to miss out on.
Especially on a students budget,
the upcoming holiday season can
add on extra stresses. Educate
yourself before you hit the stores,
and youll be able to score some
great deals that will go easy on
your wallet.

Amazon.com when looking for
deals. According to the company
website, new deals will be added
to the site every ten minutes.
Visit the Amazon Black Friday
Hub site to check up on updated
pricings and items.
Tips:
Research deals before and make
sure to print the coupons youll
need.
Bundle up! Some stores may
require you to wait in line
outdoors, and with the freezing
Kansas weather, youll want to
make sure to dress in layers.
Stick to a budget. With all the
deals, it can be easy to go over
budget. Make a list of what you
need and only purchase those
items.

C
all it tapping out or just
taking a gap lifetime, but
I just dont see a wel-
coming environment for young
people in America.
Tis isnt about being shafed by
the economy or the job market.
Tis isnt even about the massive
labor exploitation scheme that is
the internship system. Its entirely
about an attitude that Generation
Y is somehow responsible for the
mess theyre in and that shaming
them is the best solution.
What I dont understand is why
the Boomers and their afliates
get so violently defensive at any
mention of our generation. Tey
gather up their benefts and time-
shares around them like a nesting
badger and snarl at all the twen-
ty-somethings until they move
on to beg at the next front door.
Teres a sense that the best way
to prepare an entire generation is
to shame them when they cant
fnd a job and then shrug when
they ask for a kickback.
All of this griping and bemoan-
ing each other isnt a generational
diference, but a human one. De-
spite swearing up and down that
were just as generous as Barney,
the vast majority of us want to
keep what weve earned. As Social
Security drips out of the bottom
of the bucket, its only natural that
those that have earned their keep
begin to hoard what they can and
scare the poachers away with a
rusty spike.
Tats all fne and dandy. Te
solution to the bloated social
security system is too complex
to be discussed here. But our
attitudes toward one another? We
can fgure that out quickly.
Te unbelievably condescending
cycle of blog posts that peppers
all of our news feeds betrays an
unfortunate attitude from the
seniors in our community. Tese
articles and columns berate Gen
Y, harp on the everyone gets a
trophy mindset, and drop a few
zingers about Twitter to cap it
all of.
I guess I dont understand why
if Generation Y has been raised
wrong, then were somehow
responsible for it. I think every-
one age 30 and up has colluded
in a back room and decided to
just blame Gen Y for all of their
problems, citing our coddled
childhoods while pandering to
the elders.
Are we all a social experiment
gone wrong? Do we just kick our
children out onto the street and
chuck a boot at them whenever
their wails are keeping us awake?
What can we do to help Gen Y
succeed but watch them crash
and burn and hope they learn a
lesson from it?
I dont have a good answer for
that. Many millions of people
much smarter and much more
capable than me havent fgured
it out yet, so Im content with not
knowing.
What I can do is ask the old
folks and younguns to get along
for a little while. Long enough
to knock out global warming at
least. Hell, maybe well patch up
the economy while were at it, and
have a few laughs along the way.

O
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
opinion
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2013 PAGE 4
A
s students at the Uni-
versity of Kansas, we are
privileged in our access
to top-of-the line educational
resources. According to KUs
2012 fnancial report, which can
be found on the KU website, the
University spent $256,168,351 in
research expenditures. Basically,
the University funded over $250
million in 2012 alone on student
and faculty research projects that
aim to enlighten, explore and
broaden our knowledge of the
world. Tis spending, according
to a Forbes poll, ranks us at 118th
among both private and public
schools in the U.S., in regards to
research spending. Tese are stats
that we should be proud of, but
they also raise a question in my
mind. If KU can aford to be such
a strong research school, shouldnt
they be able to fund free printing
for students?
Printing at the KU libraries has
a cost of 8 cents per black-and-
white page and 48 cents for color.
Its not that much in the grand
scheme of things. But on a tight
college budget, like many of us are
on that charge can and will add
up. To think of it relatively, a 13-
page research paper or two pages
printed in color cost the same
as a McChicken at McDonalds.
Personally, I would rather pay
for a McChicken than pay for a
13-page paper Ive spent all week
working on for a class that already
costs money to attend. To me, this
doesnt add up.
Te University does sympathize
with us somewhat. Each semes-
ter KU students are credited with
$8 of free printing. Tis adds up
to 100 free black-and-white pages
or 16.5 color pages. Tese free
pages are indeed a nice gesture
by the University, but is it really
enough?
According to the website
Collegeprowler.com, which is
a massive online database that
compares and ranks colleges for
prospective students, the average
annual tuition for the University
of Kansas is $23,748 out-of-state
and $9,678 for in-state. Tuition
does vary from person-to-person
and year-to-year, but College
Prowler averages and estimates to
obtain fairly accurate numbers.
Using these numbers, we can
deduce that for an out-of-state
student, approximately .00067
percent of their tuition goes
toward printing funds. Terefore,
the free $8 per semester KU
allocates is only 67-thousandths
of the cost of tuition for an out-of-
state student. As an English major
who fnds myself printing nearly
every day, that is not enough.
While the university is doing
an exemplary job funding 12
major research centers such as the
Biodiversity Institute, Life Span
Institute and the Bioengineering
Research Center, its important
that the little guys arent neglected
either. Before any of us are going
to be making groundbreaking re-
search for the Life Span Institute,
were going to have to take English
101 and print of countless essays,
or Calc 116 and print of pages
on pages of take-home quizzes or
the dozens of pages required for
Accounting 200 assignments with
t-counts afer t-counts. Te small
but signifcant cost of printing pa-
per does add up, and the students
shouldnt have be responsible for
that fee.

Cyclical nature of music forecasts
change for future of hip-hop
Older generations
put blame on youth
BUDGETING
MUSIC SOCIETY
I
was asked recently if I
thought rap would be the
music our kids laugh at us for
playing when were older. At frst,
I waived it of as a humorous
notion. My response was Who
knows? and the discussion end-
ed as briefy as it had begun, but
the question stuck in my mind
for a few days.
I refected on the past of other
popular genres that died of, and
tried to research what caused
their decline. I noticed a recur-
ring trend of genres rooted in
youthful revolution that burned
out when their generations grew
up and moved on. Could hip-
hop really end in the same way?
Hip-hop began akin to other
musical movementsas a way
for a group to express them-
selves and fnd identity and
belonging. Te culture sprung
from a long-standing history of
oppression and racism, which
was adapted to a post-civil rights
era where these systems still have
a strangling efect. Te music de-
veloped as a method for modern
black people to fght against their
oppressors in a cathartic and
expressive method.
Te movement grew vastly in
the 80s and 90s. It grew so much
that it became a mainstay in the
music industry.
Its popularity made the artists
successful, and the involvement
of money changed how the mu-
sic was made. Te culture didnt
necessarily dissipate because of
greed, but because of the get-
rich-or-die-trying mantra of
artists and executives.
Te same thing happened with
another mega-genre of the past:
rock n roll.
Many rock artists sold 2-10
times the amount of records that
top hip-hop artists ever have. Its
not farfetched that capitalism
can remove the passion of music,
but it cant be the reason that
Hip Hop dies with such a gross
disparity in sales.
I looked closer at those two
genres, and noticed another
similarity.
Part of the reason that rock was
so immense was the develop-
ment of the radio and television.
Without these technologies, the
music could not have been as
popular.
Hip-hop experienced its own
technological breakthrough: the
internet. It hasnt been around
long enough to tell whether it
will break hip-hop or not, but so
far it has only enabled the spread
of the music. Ten again, so did
television for rock.
I still hadnt found the conclu-
sion that I was looking for yet,
so I looked back at the ages of
artists and fans.
From what I understand, Rocks
most popular artists grew old,
split apart or died. Te fan base
followed suit.
Hip-hops oldest modern artists
and fans are currently around
40-50 years old, but there are a
plethora of younger artists on the
scene today. Te nature of Hip-
hop is oriented around youth,
but there does seem to be a place
for the older folk. Nas, one of the
most revered rappers from the
90s released an album in 2010
that was solid, yet mature. Emi-
nem released an album this year,
and he has a daughter almost as
old as I am. It appears that age
isnt a huge factor.
I came to the conclusion that
predicting what will happen to
the genre is futile. Teres no
way to tell. Tere are too many
variables, too many possibilities.
We can refect on the past and
understand that history repeats
itself, but we cannot tell the
future. Such is life.
My work wasnt completely
fruitless, however.
Trough analyzing the past and
considering the future, I found
a separate question that seemed
more relevant: What will happen
to us? Since music consists of
what we experience, we are mu-
sic. What happens to us, happens
to music. We fght oppression.
We live in culture. We become
irrelevant. We move on. We die.
At the end, I found my answer.
Hip Hop may die of, but at least
we were here to enjoy it.

FOOD
CHRISTINA OSTMEYER/KANSAN
Sweet potatoes and yams are Thanksgiving staples on many tables. Try this simple sweet potato recipe this coming holiday.
Whats the diference between a
yam and a sweet potato? Te two
are actually not even botanically
related. Tough yams closely
resemble sweet potatoes, they
are much starchier, drier and
are primarily grown in Africa.
Ironically, the yam also has a
sweeter taste. Te skin of a yam
is rough compared to the smooth
exterior of a sweet potato. Te
confusion between the two is
derived from the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Te USDA needed a way to
diferentiate frm and sof sweet
potatoes and therefore began
calling the sofer varieties yams.
In efect, unless one is specifcally
seeking yams, he or she will
probably only fnd sweet potatoes
in most grocery stores.
Simple Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
5-6 sweet potatoes
cup brown sugar
cup butter
1 tsp. salt
Place potatoes in a large pot and
fll with water so that potatoes
are completely covered, and boil
potatoes for 15 minutes.
Drain the water from the
potatoes and peel.
Chop potatoes and layer in pan,
equally dispersing salt, butter and
brown sugar throughout.
Bake at 375 F for 40 minutes.
Pull the potatoes out of the oven
and mash. Great additions could
include: goat cheese, pepper or
rosemary.

done. Then you can announce it and
celebrate.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 7
Simplify your daily routine to im-
prove working conditions. Take pride

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
Look far and wide for bargains.
Dont take no for an answer. Keep

Today is a 7
Its easier to make yourself

Today is a 7
Trust the structures youve built,
and continue developing support.

Relax and have fun.
Farewell Transmission
by Songs: Ohia
Album: The Magnolia Electric Co.
Farewell Transmission blurs the line between folk-like
instrumentation with long, drawn-out, jam-sounding rifs. Tis
7-minute-long song is a great one for a long drive, or a long relaxing
playlist. Songs: Ohia is the stage and recording name of musician,
Jason Molina, who performs with his lineup on this album that is
referred to as Magnolia Electric Co. Te blend of musical infuences
turns out to be a recipe for some beautiful music.
Whether you are driving 400 miles or 40 miles for your Tanksgiving break, these songs should help keep
you company while you travel.

Jazzy Belle
by Outkast
Album: ATLiens
From Outkasts second full-length album, this song features a well-
known sample and beat that has been used in more recent hip-hop
songs. Te lyrical development and speed of Andre 3000 on this track
is something to be heard, and also explains how Outkast became such
a big success in later years. An essential track for any hip-hop fan.
Im Not Feeling It Anymore
by Van Morrison
Album: Hymns to the Silence
Van Morrison is better known for his singles such as Moondance,
And it Stoned Me and Into the Mystic, but he also has some lesser
known songs that are equal in power and tone. Im Not Feeling it
Anymore provides a good look into the sounds of Van Morrison,
with an old, folk sound that leaves a good feeling lingering around
afer a listen. Te song is one that is likely to bounce around in your
head for a while.
Green Onions
by Booker T & the MGs
Album: Green Onions
One of the most popular songs of the 1960s, Green Onions, by
Booker T & the MGs has all of the great things about original R&B
music compiled into one song. Tough the song consists of a simple
chord progression on the organ, a consistent jazz beat on drums and
a walking bass line, the song is a classic. Te lead guitar on this track
makes the song, and it shows the extraordinary ways that music can
be great, despite how simple it is.
SECRETLY CANADIAN (2003)
Try out this playlist while traveling for break
Tere is no doubt about it any
break from school is awesome. I
know Im not alone when I say Im
incredibly stoked for this break.
And, as excited as Im to see all
of my family members and dogs,
I am also excited for some alone
time for relaxing and watching
some TV, while not feeling guilty
about the other things I could
be doing. Terefore, if any of
you have the time over break to
binge watch some TV shows or
marathon a movie series, here are
my recommendations.
X-Men movies
With the excitement around
X-Men: Days of Future Past, there
has never been a better time to catch
up on all of the other flms (which
include: X-Men, X2, X-Men:
Te Last Stand and X-Men: First
Class). You can even go above
and beyond if you have some extra
time and watch X-Men Origins:
Wolverine and Te Wolverine. I
have actually only seen one of the
X-Men flms, so I am personally
very excited to marathon these
over break and start to get excited
for the newest addition as well.
Friends
While being around family during
this time is incredible and makes
most people exceptionally happy,
I hope Im not alone in saying that
I also really miss my friends from
Lawrence. Refecting on what I am
thankful for makes that even worse,
so in order to feel like you are still
around your friends the entire
break, Friends is the television
series for you. Another awesome
thing about this particular show is
that most people have seen a few
episodes, so you know personally
if it is the type of show you would
enjoy or not.
Malcom in the Middle
On the other hand, if you are
unable to go home or are unable
to see your family over break,
have a big dosage family lovin
with Malcom in the Middle. See
Bryan Cranston, pre-Walter While
era, and then, for fans of Breaking
Bad, enjoy the alternate ending
that is available online that has a
crossover of the two shows. Also,
while there are sevem seasons of
the show, each episode is less that
30 minutes long, so you can speed
right through them and enjoy that
makeshif family time.
Merlin
Merlin, I realize, doesnt really
ft in. Why would I recommend
Merlin for a binge watch? Te
reason is that you truly will not
be able to watch this show unless
you just watch all of it at one time.
What I mean by that is that Merlin,
while awesome and great, is one
of the cheesiest shows I have ever
watched. Terefore, if you think
about it for too long, most people
will start to realize that it is pretty
stupid and give up on it. However,
if you just watch all of it at one time,
you can make yourself believe that
it is actually really great, and then
fnally accept about a month later
that you were in a dark hole during
that time.

had 20 points and eight rebounds,
and 17th-ranked Iowa State
trounced Missouri-Kansas City
110-51 Monday night for its ffh
straight win.
Sherron Dorsey-Walker added 17
points for the Cyclones (5-0), who
used a 27-0 run midway through
the frst half to put away the Kan-
garoos.
Iowa State, which was hosting a
game as a ranked team for the frst
time in eight years, held UMKC
scoreless for 7 minutes and led
52-17 at halfime.
Te Cyclones also fnished with
their most points under fourth-
year coach Fred Hoiberg.
Martez Harrison had 14 points to
lead UMKC (1-4). Te Kangaroos
shot just 29.5 percent and lost for
the third time in four games.
Tough UMKC was never really
in the game, it did briefy stymie
the Cyclones by pressing afer
every made basket and throwing
in some zone looks on defense.
It only took a few minutes for
Iowa State to fnd its rhythm and
run away from the Kangaroos.
Te Cyclones reeled of 27
straight points midway through
the frst half afer letting UMKC
get to 19-13. Dustin Hogue beat
the zone with a mid-range jumper
and hit a layup to make it 28-13.
Kane nailed a 3-pointer to give
Iowa State a 35-13 lead, and
Melvin Ejim's 3 with 4:40 lef in
the frst half gave the Cyclones a
31-point cushion.
Tings got so lopsided so quickly
that Hoiberg was able to get
seldom-used reserves such as
Dorsey-Walker and K.J. Bluford
into the game before halfime.
Te Cyclones shot over 50
percent for the ffh time in their
frst nine halves of the season.
Tey also outrebounded UMKC
29-11, hit seven 3s and had eight
diferent players score in the frst
20 minutes alone.
All 12 of Iowa State's players
had at least one feld goal, and it
topped the 104 points it scored

fellow freshman guard Monte
Morris scored 11 with seven
assists and seven rebounds for the
Cyclones.

Stoops winningest coach in
school history
Afer Oklahoma beat Kansas
State, coach Bob Stoops found
himself in the middle of coaching
history.
Stoops surpassed Barry Switzer
to become Oklahomas all time
win leader with 158, and counting.
Stoops has a chance to register a
10-win season for the 12th time.
Te win wasnt possible without a
stellar performance from redshirt
freshman quarterback Trevor
Knight.
Knight fnished 14 of 20 for 171
yards, which was a career high.
Knight also ran for 82 yards and a
touchdown.
Te Sooners have used Knight
and junior Blake Bell while decid-
ing which would become the long-
term quarterback. Afer Knights
performance Saturday, it appears
he could be the option.
Oklahoma State nears Big 12
title
Baylors ofense totaled three
points throughout the the frst
three quarters in its contest against
Oklahoma State on Saturday.
While Baylor was without two
of its dynamic playmakers, junior
running back Lache Seastrunk and
senior wide receiver Tevin Reese,
Oklahoma State stifed Baylor
quarterback Bryce Petty.
Petty was No. 5 in the quarter-
back rating coming into Saturdays
contest, and while he fnished with
over 300 yards passing, he strug-
gled to fnd a rhythm all game.
Oklahoma State senior quarter-
back Clint Chelf completed his
frst 12 passes and fnished the
night with four touchdowns.
Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy said in the weekly Big 12
teleconference that it was one of
the better performances he has
seen from a quarterback since he
has been in Stillwater.
Te Cowboys are one win away
from staking claim to their second
Big 12 title in just three years.
Texas learns from mistakes
Texas wont control its destiny of
winning the Big 12, but it could
be possible. If the Longhorns win
the next two games against Texas
Tech and Baylor there is a possi-
bility that the Big 12 title could be
shared or won outright.
Texas plays its annual Tanksgiv-
ing night game, this time against
Texas Tech, which has lost four
games in a row. Texas would travel
to Baylor the next week and need
help from Oklahoma, who would
need to defeat Oklahoma State, to
win the Big 12 outright.
A year ago, Texas was in the same
position as it faced TCU afer
moving up in the BCS standings
and had a chance to make a BCS
bowl. Texas lost 13-20 to TCU.
It wasnt what we wanted last
year, we didnt play very well,
Texas coach Mack Brown said
in the weekly Big 12 teleconfer-
ence. TCU played much better
than us and weve got to get that
excitement back and play better on
Tursday night.
Brown said the team talked too
much about the Big 12 Champi-
onship before it played Oklahoma
State.
It is now focusing on the task at
hand : beating Texas Tech at home.

Kansas still motivated for K-State matchup after loss
Afer the disappointing loss at
Iowa State Saturday, all eyes seem
to be looking ahead at the match-
up with Kansas State on Nov. 30.
Coach Charlie Weis stressed in
his teleconference on Monday that
motivating the team for the up-
coming contest with the Wildcats
has not been an issue.
We are playing Kansas State.
How tough is it to get up when you
are playing your in-state rivals?
Weis said. Coach Snyder has done
a great job magnifying this game
from the Kansas State perspective,
and thats what we are trying to do
here. Its been in the weight room,
and running down on a [count-
down] clock since summertime.
Additionally, Weis addressed
questions about the quarterback
unit afer a lackluster performance
against Iowa State.
I think that if you wait to coach
a quarterback until the next day,
youve waited one day too long,
so I started addressing issues and
their fxes with him [freshman
quarterback Montell Cozart]
during the game, Weis said.
Weis did not give any informa-
tion on who would be starting
against Kansas State.
Te fnal game will kickof at
11 a.m. at Memorial Stadium in
Lawrence and will be televised on
Fox Sports 1.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-0):
Scoring leader: Codi Miller-McIntyre (18.6)
Rebound leader: Devin Tomas (11.6)
Assist leader: Codi Miller-McIntyre (4.8)
At A Glance:
Wake Forest is second in the nation in rebounding
(49.2 rpg), but hasnt necessarily played anyone too
capable of knocking it of in general. Te Demon
Deacons have all but coasted through their frst few
games, which makes Kansas their frst real challenge.
Villanova Wildcats (4-0):
Scoring leader: JayVaughn Pinkston (20.3)
Rebound leader: Daniel Ochefu (8.8)
Assist leader: Darrun Hilliard (4.3)
At A Glance:
Te Wildcats enter the Bahamas with the No. 26
feld goal defense in the nation. Opponents, including
the same Towson team the Jayhawks recently defeat-
ed, are only shooting 36.7 percent against Villanova.
Te key for Villanova will be the play of Darrun
Hilliard a guard who is averaging 14 points and 4.3
rebounds so far.
University of Southern California Trojans (4-1):
Scoring leader: Byron Wesley (19.8)
Rebound leader: Byron Wesley (8.8)
Assist leader: PeShon Howard (4.2)
At A Glance:
Since dropping its season opener at Utah State, USC
has bounced back with four straight wins heading
into the Battle 4 Atlantis. Tis will be the frst time
we get to see coach Andy Enfeld back in the national
spotlight afer taking Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet
16 last year.
Tennessee Volunteers (3-1):
Scoring leader: Jordan McRae (21.5)
Rebound leader: Jeronne Maymon (8.5)
Assist leader: Jordan McRae (3.0)
At A Glance:
Its pretty clear Jordan McRae is the Volunteers best
weapon. Hes the team leader in scoring and assists,
which is a large reason why Tennessee has three
victories under its belt. Unfortunately, the marquee
matchup in the Vols opener set them back a bit. Xavi-
er was able to hand the Volunteers their only loss on
the year. In that game, Tennessee shot just 37 percent
from the line and lost 67-63.
Xavier Musketeers (4-0):
Scoring leader: Semaj Christon (16.3)
Rebound leader: Matt Stainbrook (9.0)
Assist leader: Dee Davis (7.0)
At A Glance:
Xaviers signature win came against Tennessee in
a game that could have gone either way, if the Vols
hadnt committed 25 fouls and given the Musketeers
a chance to win it at the line. Xavier should become a
top team by March, but its still pretty untested as of
now, just like every other school.
No. 23 Iowa Hawkeyes (5-0):
Scoring leader: Roy Devyn Marble (14.6)
Rebound leader: Aaron White (7.6)
Assist leader: Roy Devyn Marble (3.8)
At A Glance:
Te Hawkeyes are of to an impressive start thanks
to Roy Devyn Marble senior guard who leads the
team in points and assists. Iowa is averaging 92.6
points per game right now. And while it hasnt faced
stif competition, that will change when Xavier takes
the court with them on Tursday.
University of Texas El Paso Miners (3-2):
Scoring leader: McKenzie Moore (14.0)
Rebound leader: Vince Hunter (7.4)
Assist leader: McKenzie Moore (3.0)
At A Glance:
Te Miners havent had the easiest start to the
season. Afer falling twice to New Mexico State theyll
face of against a Tennessee team with a lot to prove
in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. UTEP is
expected to contend in Conference USA this year, but
probably wont in the Bahamas.

While it will continue to be chilly
in Kansas over Tanksgiving
break, the Kansas womens basket-
ball team (3-1) will be in the Vir-
gin Islands. Te team will compete
in the Paradise Jam tournament
and play against three opponents,
but there will also be time to enjoy
the island.
Te players are excited, and they
should be excited, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. Te team bond-
ing, that element of it, traveling
like that, but you also have quality
competition on a neutral foor in a
beautiful setting.
Te teams frst game will be on
Tanksgiving at 2:30 p.m. against
Central Michigan. Te Jayhawks
play Xavier the next day and fnish
the tournament against Duke on
Saturday. Each team will play ev-
ery other team once, and whoever
fnishes with the best record will
win the Island Division. Another
set of four teams will compete in
the Reef Division.
Te fve freshmen have not
encountered a tournament en-
vironment before, but the team
is looking to its upperclassmen,
such as juniors Natalie Knight and
Chelsea Gardner, to take the lead.
As leaders, its diferent for
everybody this year, but coach
[Henrickson] has told us plenty
of times we do have to drag them
along or let them know how its
going to be and how we need to
come in mentally, Knight said.
Te Jayhawks are focusing on
their matchup with Central Mich-
igan and taking a one-game-at-a-
time approach.
Central Michigan (1-2) averages
83.7 points a game and takes many
shots. Henrickson said Central
Michigan has a tough schedule,
and its current record is not indic-
ative of how good the team is.
Xavier (2-2) is a young team
that has eight freshmen on its
roster. Te Musketeers have been
inconsistent, but even with such
an inexperienced group the two
leading scorers on the team are
seniors. Guard Shatyra Hawkes
averages 21.5 points per game and
guard Ashley Wanninger adds 14.8
points a game.
No. 2 Duke will be the Jayhawks
biggest test. Te Blue Devils
had four players named to the
Naismith Preseason List and cur-
rently outscore their opponents by
over 37 points per game.
Te Jayhawks are coming of
their frst loss of the season, which
was against Minnesota on the
road. Kansas controlled much of
the frst half, gave up a lead in the
second and attempted a comeback
that fell short. Henrickson said
there were both positives and
negatives to earning that loss.
Tere are things we can hang
our hat on, a couple of things we
did really well, weve got to repeat
that, Henrickson said. Ten
weve got to clean up the rest.
Henrickson said the team
should gain confdence from how
it started the game and made a
comeback, but the Jayhawks also
need to be tougher when they are
struggling with their shots.
Te Jayhawks are turning to their
next road trip hoping to learn
from their loss.
We know its going to be a trip
of a lifetime, Knight said. We
are going to have time for fun. We
know when its time to be serious
and when its time to have fun.
