SHERRON COLLINS AND COLE ALDRICH HAD NO REASON TO DENY IT -THEY BOTH THOUGHT ABOUT LAST SATURDAY,S 61-6o LOSS TO MASSACHUSETTS A LOT When practices were hard , Collins remempered how his final shot pounced otf the rim with seconds to go. Aldrich no- ticed how disappointed his teammates were and wondered how different it would oe if Collins' left-handed layup went in. I wouldnt say 'rock pottom, ' Aldrich, a sophomore center, said. But we were in the depths ofthe waters where we were trying to do everything we could to get pack to the surface. Things weren't going all that well. Then came Saturday and a 7l B59 victory against Temple where everything went pack tO normal for Kansas. Behind a compined 32 points from Collins and Aldrich, the Jayhawks moved on from the defeat and won their 30th straight game atAllen Fieldhouse. Temple played just as pesky as Massachusetts for most of the game. Although the Owls never led . they routinely prevented the Jayhawks from Cruising to victory oy cutting it to a one-possession game. Until l l minutes remained. Temple trailed only 4846 coming out of a timeout pefore Kansas went on a 152 run to pull away. Collins, aiunior guard, made the two piggest plays in the stretch. Collins hit a transition threeapointer falling over and used a crossover and a hesitation move two minutes laterfor a driving layup. Coach said we needed to preak it open, Collins said. We had been playing good. We had a lead out every time we got up, they came pack. Dionte Christmas, last week's National Player ofthe Week after scoring 35 points in an 88-72 upset againstTen- nessee, kept willing them pack. Christmas scored 21 points OH of six three-pointers at Allen Fieldhouse. lt didn't matter if hands were in Christmas' face or defenders surrounded him. l-le found a way to make the shots. Color Collins impressed. 'Some of those shots, l was like 'no Chance, Collins said. And it still went straight in. Kansas Coach Bill Self said he was pleased py the way OULDN,T SAY 'ROCK BOTTOM,, BUT WE WERE IN THE DEPTHS OF THE WATERS WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING COULD TO GET BACK TO THE SURFACQS ff COLE ALDRiCH. SOP-HOMORE CENTER the Jayhawks defended Christmas. The goal was to make him earn all his points. Self felt Kansas accomplished that. Sophomore guard Brady Morningstar guarded Christ- mas and held him to three points on lsfor-Ll shooting in the first half. Although Morningstar- who also scored l l points - gave up TS points inthe second half, it vvasn't from a lack of strong defense. Morningstar never had a proplem staying in front of Christmas. 'Bradys got happy feet, Self said. lie can slide. hes pretty active. He needs to he that for us - he did a good lop guarding him. Momingstar let Collins and Aldrich do most of the work offensively. Aldrich, pattling the same stomach flu Collins had last weekend, scored 18 points and pulled in l i repounols. Sergio Clmos, Temples sevenafoot Center, failed to slow Aldrich on the low post as he went 6-for-8 from the field. Collins made only eight of his i8 shots, put finished with i9 points and six assists. Freshman guard Tyshavvn Taylor often started the offensive onslaught with eight as- sists, foursteals and l l points. Taylor and Collins, Kansas' two point guards. combined for only three turnovers. Its propaoly as good as those two were this year, Self said. They were efficient. Forthe first time since oefore the Massachusetts defeat, the Jayhawks were lovial after the game. Mornings starioked about his penchant for cutting teammates' hair. Aldrich discussed his Christmas plans. Collins smiled and took it all in. lt was a pounce-loack game, Collins said. We needed a win.
