He held a record 1,093 patents.
She holds only one. It took him
four months to get his first patent.
It took her two years. He was 40
when he created his first invention.
She was 12 when she created her
first invention.
Who is he? He is Thomas
Edison.
Who is she? She is Katie Mulich.
Edison created the light bulb and
the phonograph, which evolved
into the modern-day telephone.
The sophomore from Louisburg
created the Paw Wash; the first
dog paw cleaner that does not use
a hose, bucket or brush. Instead,
it uses suction and grooves on the
inside of the container to clean the
paws of dirt and snow.
Mulich said she came up with the
Paw Wash when she was in sixth
grade because she had to come
up with an idea for a science fair
project. She said her mother told
her to clean her dog Saddies paws
that were covered in mud, but she
wanted an easier way to do this.
I went to the barn and got PVC
pipe and I showed my dad and we
got a cap for it after church the next
day, Mulich said. We used it and
he said Katie this actually really
works.
She had no idea that the PVC
pipe would work, but that it was
just out of luck. She didnt add a
brush to the Paw Wash because she
did not want to worry about mold
and how to clean it out.
All it uses is water from a faucet
and liquid soap. There are differ-
ent variations of the Paw Wash,
like the Pawplunger, which Mulich
said infringed on her patent. She
was not able to disclose any of the
details of the infringement case, but
did say that she did go to federal
court when she was 17-years-old.
She has sent cease and desist letters,
but because it costs so much to go
to court, she says its not worth it

LiVing the singLe Life
Even if youre not in a relationship, you can
still rake in these positive emotional well-being
and health benefits:
Feeling of support from family, friends
No risk of negative effects of being in an unhealthy rela-
tionship
Sense of personal identity
BeLonging to different soCiAL roLes
If you have friends around you, if you have a social network that you can
do things with, that can help you out in times of need, that can be really helpful
and thats more of feeling supported, Pressman said.
However, singles also may be able to have some of the same positive benefits that
people in relationships experience.
If youre in a loving relationship, it has a positive impact on your health, Denning
said. If youre single but still have good family relationships and friends, its considered
somewhat neutral. You still may be able to have some of the benefits, or you may not.
Cartoon-heart eyes, cheesy grins its Valentines
Day. While some students want to shout their love
atop Mount Oread, others want to push those
people down the hill. But good news
for both sides: there are health
benefits to both being in a
relationship and
being single.
WhAts
LoVe got
to do With
it?
Studies have shown
people in a loving, healthy
relationship have the advantages
of:
Lower risk of heart disease, heart
attack or stroke
Healthier immune systems; less suscep-
tible to the common cold
Decreased stress
More likely to engage in positive health
behaviors
Open attention; more willing to try new
things
A lot of times people will take better care
of themselves for another person, Dr. Patricia
Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said. Theyre
willing to make behavior changes for someone
else, and thats the person they love.
A hormone called oxytocin, referred to as the
love hormone, also plays a huge role in our health.
Oxytocin is the hormone responsible for pair bond-
ing in mammals, but it also serves as a stress-buffering
hormone. When our oxytocin levels go up, our stress levels
go down.
Its something really particular about thinking of love and why
those relationships are important to you that raises your levels of
oxytocin, Sarah Pressman, University of Kansas psychology profes-
sor, said. And then our stress shows to decrease.
So, if youve pledged to wear black every Feb. 14, remember you still
get health benefits from your social network. And for those of you in a
loving relationship, toast to good health tonight.

Valentine Events
Caroline
Atkinson
The type and color of flowers in the arrangement
you send might be saying more to your sweetheart
than what is written on that tiny card. Florists have
long supported the idea that flowers imply mes-
sages of their own. Englewood Florist, 1101 Mass.
St., provides this information for customers with
flyers posted on the wall. With some consideration, a
perfectly chosen bouquet has the potential to make this
your best Valentines Day yet.
The red rose, a classic Valentines Day gift, is the symbol of love. Tell someone
how much you love them this year with a gift of red roses.
The yellow rose, however, signifies friendship. This light-colored
option might be a better pick when shopping for a friend, co-worker
or family member.
While carnations are a less expensive alternative to roses, beware
of what message these may send. The pink carnation is the symbol
of Mothers Day, according to iflorist.com, so hold off a few months
for this purchase and save them for mom.
With carrying prices and a variety of color possibilities, the choices for a Valentines Day
bouquet are nearly endless. Choose a flower that shows someone how much they mean to you
when you cant find the right words for those little cards.
Laura Nightengale
Roses are red...
Send the variegated tulip to that special someone who recently caught your
fancy. Meaning beautiful eyes according to iflorist.com, this bouquet could
tell that new crush why youre so into them.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONdAy, februAry 14, 2011 / NEWS / 3A
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
A stabbing that we never really
saw. Wet fingertips sliding down
tiles. Blood flowing down the drain.
Its not quite a Valentines love, but
its a love nonetheless. If you ask film
critic David Thomson, that infamous
shower scene in Alfred Hitchcocks
Psycho made us long for more.
The London native who lives in
San Francisco, Calif., will present
The Hitchcock Moments: Psycho
and Other Tales of Terror tonight in
the Unions Woodruff Auditorium at
7. The event is sponsored by The Hall
Center for the Humanities, Student
Union Activities and the Department
of Film and Media Studies and will
follow with a book signing in the Big
12 Room.
Thomson, the author of sever-
al books including The Moment
of Psycho: How Alfred Hitchcock
Taught America to Love Murder,
will focus on a director who mas-
tered his craft.
He was in love with technique and
liked to experiment, said Zachary
Ingle, graduate teaching assistant in
The Film and Media Department.
Yet his films are also rich in themes,
such as the transference of guilt.
Ingle said that Hitchcock influ-
enced both the French New Wave
scene and more recent genre film-
makers like Brian De Palma and
Robert Rodriguez.
With spooky motifs, eerie scores
and familiar faces, such as actor
Jimmy Stewart, Hitchcock immerses
the audience into his films.
You get really into the characters
with all of the tragedy, Edinburgh,
Scotland junior Amy Lenathen said.
Lawrence sophomore Tim Clark
said that whenever he walks around
and sees birds flying around, he
remembers 1963s Birds. When
considering 1960s Psycho show-
er scene, he said that likes that
Hitchcock does not allow the viewer
to witness the stabbing.
It leaves a little bit more to the
imagination, Clark said.
Because of these timeless moments,
the Hitchcock brand lives on.
Thirty years after his death,
Alfred Hitchcock is still a household
name, Ingle said. And that name is
synonymous with suspense.

Mulich thought the process of
getting a patent and being where
she is today would not take that
long, but instead it has taken eight
years.
I started getting prototypes made
and we went through a lot because
of different plastics, Mulich said.
Certain plastics would crack when
we got it back. Ordering something
took forever because it was coming
from China and it takes months to
get what you want back to see if it
works.
Mulich decided to settle on poly-
carbonate, a strong plastic that a
Nalgene water bottle is made out of.
She was going to sell her product to
some companies, but with contract
talks falling through, she decided to
do everything on her own.
The Paw Wash has been known
to people for three or four years, but
Mulich has only been selling it for
a year. It is offered in two sizes: one
for large and medium-sized dogs
and one for small dogs. Mulich said
she has a number of units sold, but
could not disclose it.
She has received a lot of help and
support from her family, especially
her father. She says he keeps her in
check and makes sure that she bal-
ances business and school.
She is majoring in film and
media studies with a minor in busi-
ness, but wants to really focus on
The Paw Wash. She wants to try
and expand the product line. She
offers a microfiber mitt to dry the
paws, but not damage them like
towels may do. She wants to cre-
ate a shampoo or soap designed
for paws.
The unit is available online, but
Mulich said it is now being avail-
able in pet stores and at Wayside
Waifs, 3901 Martha Truman Rd.,
Kansas City, Mo., which is where
she adopted her four-month-old
puppy Callie. Mulich adopted
her at Wayside Waifs because it
is Kansas Citys largest no kill pet
adoption center. Mulich teamed
with Wayside Waifs in January and
is donating $1 for every Paw Wash
sold.
Ashlee Parker, Wayside Waifs
Communication Relations
Manager,said each dollar feeds an
animal a day.
Every single dollar will make
a difference, Parker said. We are
thrilled with the partnership.

This morning at the Lied Center
[Feb. 9], I watched 1,500 4th and 5th
graders jump off their seats to dance
and sing to A violin performance?!
This wasnt just any violin concert,
though; Black Violin transform our
ideas of classical music by meshing
popular music with their amazing
string talents. But the kids were
equally vocal about Black Violins
message at the shows end.
A lot of people think youre here
to learn about the violin, but youre
not, said violinist Kev Marcus.
Youre here to learn to think
outside of the box.
On Monday, Gov. Sam Brownback
signed an order that will jeopardize
performances like this one start-
ing July 1. The order eliminates
state funding for the Kansas Arts
Commission, which funds countless
arts programs across Kansas.
The state currently spends less
than $800,000 on the KAC annually,
which is nothing compared to the
more than $15 million in local and
state revenue generated by the arts
in Kansas.
To a college student, these num-
bers may not resonate. But remem-
ber what it was like to be a kid and
to learn it was okay to color outside
of the lines, to stretch your imagina-
tion as far outside of the box as it
could go, to think creatively.
Programs like school performanc-
es at the Lied, Saturday morning
art classes at the Spencer Museum
of Art and others in Lawrence and
throughout Kansas remind kids that
it is not only okay to use your imagi-
nation, it is absolutely necessary.
Because facing big challengesones
like resuscitating our economy and
preserving our planetrequires a
little right brain creativity.
If you do anything this week, I
hope it is this: contact your legisla-
tors and implore them to maintain
the Kansas Arts Commission as a
state agency. For more information,
please visit the KAC website at arts.

Valentines Day should be called Singles
Awareness Day. Not to make singles feel like the
outcasts in a crowd, but so we have a day when
all the single ladies can stand up and realize
that they dont need a relationship to feel good
about themselves.
This Valentines Day, dont stay home,
watching rom-coms and eating chocolate that
you bought for yourself.
Instead, visit family or go out and party with
friends to remind yourself that you have people
who love you no matter what. Or, dress up a
little and tell yourself that you dont need a guy
to tell you how hot you look.
Valentines Day should be a day of pride for
all the single people who know who they are
and are proud of it.
allison Bond is a junior from andover in
journalism and religious studies.
If you are a guy or a girl alone this Valentines
Day, you could just not worry about it and either
do something with friends or ignore the holiday
altogether.
Go ahead. Tell yourself that you dont need
someone else to validate. Your existence.
However, I recommend wallowing in self-pity. In
order to reinforce the notion that youre alone (and
likely will be forever), you should make reserva-
tions at a romantic restaurant.
Then, when youre sitting alone surrounded by
happy couples, start ordering glass after glass of
wine until you begin sobbing out of loneliness or
intoxication. You want it to be quiet enough that
no one comes over to see whats wrong, but loud
enough that it ruins everyones dinner.
This V-Day, remember what Christopher
Marlowe wrote: Misery loves company and no one
loves me but my cat.
Lou schumaker is a junior from Overland
Park in film and media studies.
Stalk your ex-boyfriend. You know, the guy who
doesnt have a problem with it being Valentines Day.
Even better, stalk your ex-boyfriend and his new
girlfriend!
Theyre probably going to some romantic restaurant,
and theres no reason you cant join them.
Its not because youre stalking him, its just that you
want to treat yourself to a nice dinner after successfully
not looking at his Facebook page in the past six hours.
You deserve this.
Once you get there, how about making some small talk?
Start with, Wheres the whore? Oh, shes right there
to set the tone.
After the jerk politely asks you to leave them alone,
throw his glass of wine on his nice shirt and storm out of
the restaurant as if he did something wrong to you.
Go ahead, pat yourself on the back. When you get
home, make sure to check his Twitter just in case he
tweeted about you.
Its okay this time, you deserve it.
Jarod Kilgore is a junior from Lenexa in film and
media studies.
Apparently, Kesha is a neurophysiolo-
gist. Kesha has sung and talked her way
into a relatively new field of science.
She suggests romantic love is an
addiction that can mask the effects of
mental illness and neurotic behavior.
Her findings and results can be found
on her single Your Love is My Drug.
Lets analyze her observations:
I just cant get you off my mind.
Romantic love is not just an emotion-
al entity. Functional magnetic resonance
imaging (FMRI) show that love is a real,
concrete drive, much like a sex drive.
However, love is stronger than a sex
drive. One can control tactile stimula-
tion or physical arousal, but not the
release of certain neurotransmitters.
Dopamine is the targeted neurotrans-
mitter responsible for the nuance in
romantic love.
Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at
Rutgers University studying the sci-
ence of love, gave her subjects a pic-
ture of their loved ones. The FMRI
shows neurons in the midbrain light up
when the photograph is shown. This
is where dopamine is being produced.
Dopamine is linked to the feelings of
addiction, competition and ecstasy.
When one develops a crush, it is not
easy to give her or him up, because your
brain is producing feel-good feelings.
You want that person to be yours. You
are constantly thinking about them.
If I keep it up like a love sick crack-
head.
Funny that you mention crack, Kesha.
Cocaine acts by blocking the reuptake
of dopamine. Cocaine binds to the
reuptake transporters that remove the
excess of Dopamine from the synaptic
gap.
Therefore, dopamine cannot be reab-
sorbed by the dopaminergic neuron.
There is an increased concentration of
this neurotransmitter in the synapse.
As a result, the natural effect of
dopamine on the post-synaptic neuron
leaves an elevated and addicting feeling.
This chemical response is similar to
the feelings of love.
My friends think Ive gone crazy.
Yes, yes you have.
All your profile pictures are of the
two of you. You constantly text and call
him or her. You keep tabs on each other.
You ditch your friends to hang out.
The basis of you conversations to your
friends is about him or her and advice
you need.
Your friends are right. It is simply
unhealthy that you isolate yourself with
your significant other. And what hap-
pens when you guys break up? Maybe
cocaine will be legalized by then.
(DISCLAIMER: Im not saying every-
one in love acts like this. But we all at
least know someone that does.)
Now that Kesha and I have broken
down the science of love, I hope you
can enjoy today with your significant
other. You can thank your nervous and
sympathetic systems for the feelings of
euphoria and love.
Also, you can thank the fact that
you do not need an illegal substance to
induce these feelings.
But to all my single friends, well,
Valentines Day will be a distant mem-
ory tomorrow and Hersheys chocolate
will be on sale. Luckily, chocolate can
trigger the release of dopamine, too.
Happy Valentines Day!

BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Kansas has focused this sea-
son on balancing freshman guard
Keena Mays and sophomore guard
Angel Goodrich at point guard.
The balance has been working
well for the Jayhawks, who have
recently cut down turnovers and
increased three-point shooting
percentage.
Mays took control at the point
for the Jayhawks Saturday when
Goodrich fell into early foul trou-
ble.
It is good for her to have to
face that pressure, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said in an interview
with 1320 KLWN.
Mays finished the game with 11
points on 5-12 shooting from the
field. She dished out four assists.
Right when I came in I knew I
had to be aggressive and distribute
the ball to my teammates, Mays
said in an interview with 1320
KLWN.
Her generosity backfired when
she tallied 12 turnovers through-
out the game.
The Jayhawks fell by their own
hands Saturday, committing 31
turnovers in a 81-58 loss to No. 6
Texas A&M.
That is our inability to take
pressure one-on-one, Henrickson
said in an interview with 1320
KLWN.
The Aggies scored 35 points off
Kansas turnovers.
Kansas now sits at 16-9 and 3-8
for the season with only six regu-
lar season games left.
We have got to get better,
Henrickson said in an interview
with 1320 KLWN.
Sophomore forward Carolyn
Davis led the Jayhawks in scoring
with 16 points followed by Mays
with 11 and senior guard Marisha
Brown with 10 points.
Mays said the team has to focus
on the fact that they didnt give up
in this game.
We tried and we fought hard,
Mays said in an interview with
1320 KLWN.
Henrickson attributed some of
Mays troubles to a lack of help
from the other guards.
We didnt give her a lot of
help, Henrickson said in an
interview with 1320 KLWN.
The Aggies grabbed 18 steals
on their way to 67 shots through-
out the game compared to 42
from the Jayhawks.
On Feb. 19, Kansas will host
Missouri, who defeated Kansas
66-52 earlier this season.

Travis Releford
Where was Releford on Saturday? Yes he has been
struggling with an injury and still isnt 100 percent,
but to play 13 minutes and only score two points
when he had 10 against a much better Missouri
team is bafing. With Robinson out for two weeks
and a time table not set on Selby, Releford needs to
take advantage of his playing time like Mario Little
has these last two games.
Tyshawn Taylor
Taylor went 6-11 from the feld and scored 14 points.
He handled the ball well, without any difcult pres-
sure. He had six assists and only one turnover. Self
said Taylor needs to keep attacking the basket and
seeing the ball go in, like Morningstar did, to build
confdence. Taylor said that he has missed a few easy
layups, but saw those go in against Iowa State. If this
game means that Taylor starts turning it around ofensively, this team
can be extremely dangerous come post-season play.

Marcus Morris after Kansas 89-66 victory against Iowa State
Game to Remember Game to Forget
Releford Taylor
MENS BASKETBALL REWIND
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Roughly four minutes into the
game against Iowa State, Bill Self
sent a post off the bench to replace
Marcus Morris for a spell. It wasnt
Thomas Robinson. It wont be for
the next three games, at least.
Saturday afternoon, it didnt
matter.
Were playing the best weve
played all year, which is a good
thing, coach Bill Self said. But
still, its not our team. Thats the
thing thats a little frustrating; we
dont have our team yet.
Robinsons absence and Josh
Selbys, whom Self all but ruled out
for Mondays game against Kansas
State wasnt much noticed as
the Jayhawks rolled 89-66 against
the Iowa State Cyclones. Travis
Releford, who missed the first five
games of conference play with an
injury and has slowly worked his
way back into the lineup, will get
some of Robinsons minutes. So
will Jeff Withey, who played a con-
ference-season-high nine minutes
and scored a season-high eight
points.
It was a big confidence boost-
er, Withey said. Especially going
into K-State, just having that con-
fidence, having a game where I
played well. I think Ill be able to
be productive.
Witheys minutes in particular
could prove essential. Hes the only
Jayhawk on the roster who can rep-
licate Robinsons size, and its hard
to win in the Big 12 Conference
with two reserve posts who are
6-foot-6-inches or smaller, like
Releford and Mario Little.
The guy sitting to my left,
he has to step up, Marcus said,
indicating Withey. He knows it,
since T-Robs going to be out for a
little bit. Its his time to step up and
show people that he can play.
Marcus said Withey gives the
Jayhawks a different kind of pres-
ence in the middle, one thats been
missing since Cole Aldrich left for
the NBA draft last year. Withey
finished with two blocks in his
nine minutes of play.
In practice, he blocks my shot a
lot, Marcus said, so I know what
kind of shot blocker he is. Just
having that big body something
that Cole was last year, something
that I cant do as well as these
guys can is definitely going to
benefit us.
The Morris twins will take on
an increased role as well with
Robinson out. Both attempted
double-figure shots for just the
second time in the last six games,
and they finished with a com-
bined 30 points and 22 rebounds.
Markieff had a career-high six
assists against just one turnover.
The pass to start the play is just
as important as the pass to fin-
ish the play, Self said, and thats
where the twins are so good.
But how the Jayhawks handle
Robinsons and Selbys absences
wont be nearly as important as
how they handle the reintegration
of those two into the lineup in late
February and the all-important
March.
I just hope that they both get
back with their full speed a couple
of weeks prior to the postseason,
Self said. That way, we can be in
rhythm.

kansas did something pretty
remarkable and under the radar
saturday. The Jayhawks sent Iowa
state to the free-throw line just
twice in the entire game. They
committed seven fouls. Thats
the lowest total on the season
by three fouls, and the fewest
since they had seven against fort
Hays state in 2003. What does
that mean for monday? Probably
not much. kansas still fouls too
much and kansas state still does
a good job of getting to the free-
throw line. The more interesting
question is which will break frst:
kansas relative inability to get to
the line or k-states inability to
keep teams from getting there?
Mario Little
is an ofensive
workhorse
in the sense
that, if he gets
the ball on
the right half
of the court,
something is
going to hap-
pen. bill self said hed lead the
team in shots per minute, and
its not even close. even though
self was laughing when he said
it, there was a little underlying
criticism there. Little could prob-
ably take a lesson or two in pass-
ing from the morris twins, whom
self always praises for being
the best passers on the team.
Little will see increased action
with Thomas robinson out of
the lineup. What that means for
his shots-per-minute numbers
remains to be seen.
How will Kansas State
weather the storm?
Teams under pressure gener-
ally have one of two reactions.
They either rally around each
other and start playing their
best basketball (see: Tennes-
see last year), or they fold like
a cheap lawn chair in a stiff
breeze. kansas state showed a
little bit of the former after get-
ting stomped at kansas, beating
nebraska at home and following
it up with a win at Iowa state.
but then Wally Judge left the
team, and the kansas city star
reported that curtis kelly is un-
der investigation by the school
and the Wildcats lost at colora-
do to fall to 4-6 in conference. If
kansas state is reeling monday,
kansas could put a serious
hurting on the Wildcats and end
whatever chance is left for them
to make the ncAA Tournament.

k-state
16-9, (4-6)
starters
Shane Southwell, freshman guard
southwells Twitter (k_stateshane) bio
reads: I ATTend kAnsAs sTATe unIVersITy
And A Pro soon. Thats all well and good,
but like saturdays against colorado (three
points, 1-5 fG) wont get him to the pros. In
Lawrence, southwell had zero points in 18
minutes. He needs to focus on tonights game
and his college game before he can look at
professional basketball, even europe.

Rodney McGruder, sophomore guard

mcGruder hit a long three-pointer on sat-
urday that looked like kansas state was going
to sneak out of bouler, colo., with a victory.
but after the referees reviewed the shot, the
ball was still on mcGruders hands. Its been
one of those seasons for k-state. everything
goes right for a while, and then all crumbles.
The Wildcats are like this seasons Longhorns
from 2009-2010. However, instead of having a
midseason breakdown, the Wildcats have just
crumbled from the very beginning. mcGruder
had 11 points in 34 minutes for the Wildcats
on saturday. Against kansas on Jan. 29, he
had 15 points in 35 minutes.

Jacob Pullen, senior forward

Pullen is the best player on this team. The
Wildcats are facing adversity, like every other
team in the country, but theirs has spanned
the entire season. A victory against kansas
in manhattan tonight would do wonders for
k-states resume and the player that will lead
the charge is Pullen.

Jamar Samuels, junior forward

samuels had 13 points for the Wildcats
on saturday night. Against the Jayhawks on
Jan. 29 he had 10 points. samuels, Pullen
and mcGruder accounted for 69.7 percent
of k-states points in Lawrence. samuels will
need a big output, but the team needs more
contribution from the bench.

Curtis Kelly, senior forward

first kelly was suspended for accepting
more clothes than he paid for. His suspension
was for six games and recently there were
talks that kelly was going to be kicked of
the team, but after an investigation found
no dirt on him, he is allowed to stay on the
team. kelly is a vital part of the frontcourt
for kansas state. If he were let go, he would
have been the third Wildcat to leave the
team. kelly will need a big day for k-state to
pull the upset. He only had fve points for the
Wildcats on saturday.

kaNsas
24-1, (9-1)
starters
Tyshawn Taylor, junior guard
Taylor was excellent against the
cyclones good enough to win my
player of the game honors. He had 14
points on 6-of-11 shooting and tallied six
assists against just one turnover. It was
the second time since december that hes
shot better than 50 percent from the feld.
The other game was Jan. 29 against the
kansas state Wildcats.

Tyrel Reed, senior guard

Its been a pretty safe assumption
throughout Tyrel reeds career that if the
Jayhawks need someone to take free
throws, hes the guy to do it. but believe
it or not, reeds not shooting the ball
particularly well for him at least since
conference play began. After shooting 93
percent in non-conference, hes shooting a
much more human 73 percent in confer-
ence play.

Brady Morningstar, senior guard

forget, for a moment, about scoring,
which brady morningstar has done remark-
ably well of late, and take some time to
appreciate what he does best. In the confer-
ence slate, morningstar has dished out 41
assists against just seven turnovers. That
5.9-to-1 assist to turnover ratio is ffth-best
in the country in conference play. morning-
star will start again in place of Josh selby.

Marcus Morris, junior forward

marcus may fnally be forced to shoot
the ball more with Thomas robinson not
in the lineup. This is great news for kansas.
In 10 games in which he has taken fewer
than 10 shots, hes averaged 13.5 points per
game. In 15 games in which hes taken 10
or more, hes averaged 19.1 points. It stands
to reason that the Jayhawks want their best
player to shoot more, particularly when he
is as efcient as marcus is.

Markief Morris, junior forward

markief is in the same boat as his brother.
no Thomas robinson means more minutes
and more opportunities to shoot. Just like
marcus, markief is efcient enough that
him shooting more can only mean good
things for the Jayhawks ofense, which
is potent enough as is. markiefs current
fve-game streak of double-fgure scoring
started with a 20-point efort against kan-
sas state.

Big 12 SCheDUle SCheDUle
kansas state is coming of a
tough 58-56 loss on saturday to
colorado in boulder, colo. The
bufaloes swept the Wildcats for
the frst time since the 2003-2004
season. rodney mcGruder sank
a long three-pointer that set of
a celebration from the Wildcats
while ofcials took a look at the
monitor to see if the shot counted.
After deliberation, mcGruder still
had the ball on his hand while the
clock struck zeros. The loss drops
k-state to 4-6 in conference with
a large uphill climb to make the
ncAA tournament. k-state will
need to go at least 4-2 in its last six
games to have a chance. but with
games against kansas and Texas,
that leaves a very slim margin for
error.
Jacob Pullen
There has
been so much
a t t e n t i o n
around Pullen
this season. At
the beginning,
he was the
leader of the
no. 3 team in the nation. He was
suspended three games for taking
more clothes than he paid for. He
said before conference play started
that the big 12 title goes through
manhattan. He said after a loss to
colorado that made the Wildcats
0-2 in conference that he wouldnt
be playing in the postseason un-
less its the ncAA tournament.
Pullen can score and distribute. He
is fourth in the big 12 conference
with 18 points per game. He will
need to put this team on his back
the rest of the season if he wants
to play in the ncAA tournament.
Will the Wildcats upset the No. 1
team in the nationagain?
some of you are reading this
before noon, which is when the
new AP and coaches Polls come
out. some are saying kansas will
be the top ranked team in the
nation and some are saying Texas.
If kansas is the no. 1 team, how ft-
ting is the matchup in manhattan
tonight: sunfower showdown, a
team facing adversity with play-
ers quitting, a team ranked no. 1
but with injuries and to top it all
of, its Valentines day. Last year,
k-state defeated Texas in manhat-
tan when the Longhorns were the
top ranked team in the nation.
That loss sent Texas into a tailspin
of a season where it fnished the
season 7-10 and lost in the frst
round of the ncAA tournament.
This season is diferent. k-state
doesnt have the personnel to keep
up with kansas. If the frst matchup
said anything, it spelled kansas vic-
tory. Prediction that isnt from Tim
dwyer: kansas by 19.
Thats an up-and-down emo-
tion real fast. you go from thinking
you just won the game with a
buzzer-beater to losing the game.

THE OCTAGON OF DOOM WILL BE GLOOMY IF
kansas stakes itself to an early lead. With the controversies swirling
around the Wildcats, they need to be in the game from the start to
believe they have a chance to win it. If the Jayhawks take the Wild-
cats early, just like a few weeks ago in Allen fieldhouse, kansas will
roll to an easy win.
THE WILDCATS WILL PREY ON THE JAYHAWKS IF
The team rallies against the negativity surrounding the program.
kansas fell victim to a team that had been upended by of-the-court
issues last season at Tennessee, and kansas state has a chance to
make it two years running. Jacob Pullen will need to be better than
the last time out, though.
Prediction:
Kansas 91, K-State 70
E
very year, as the calendar settles into
the new year and college basketball
is immersed in conference play,
pundits happily debate the merits of each
team on the bubble. For those unfamiliar
with college basketball lingo, the bubble
is the term for the conglomerate of teams
who could play their way into the NCAA
Tournament with a solid final month or
collapse down the stretch and get relegated
to the NIT.
As a rabid college basketball fan, I enjoy
monitoring ESPN.coms weekly Bubble
Watch, as the list of teams that bracketolo-
gist Joe Lunardi projects to make it into the
tournament fluctuates each week. Whats
more enjoyable, though, is being able to
do it atop my high perch, as I have never
had to worry about Kansas being on that
bubble.
While the Jayhawks are not the only pre-
mier program in college basketball, they are
the only ones who can boast about longev-
ity. The other blue bloods of college bas-
ketball have missed the Big Dance at least
once during Kansas streak of 21 straight
tournament appearances.
The two programs that come closest
to challenging Kansas consistency are
Arizona and Duke. The Wildcats appeared
in the NCAA Tournament for 25 straight
years from 1985 to 2009. But they missed
the tournament last season, have not made
the Elite Eight since 2005 and last appeared
in the Final Four in 2001.
Duke has made 15 straight tournament
appearances and 26 of the past 27 tourna-
ments, but it had an ugly campaign in
1994-1995, when coach Mike Krzyzewski
had to take a leave of absence during the
season because of health concerns and the
team finished 13-18, missing the tourna-
ment. Although the Blue Devils returned to
the tournament the following year, they
werent much better, losing in the first
round and winning only 18 games.
Even though the Indiana Hoosiers were
a tournament fixture from the late 80s
through the 1990s, the team hasnt been
quite as fortunate since the turn of the cen-
tury, missing the tournament in 2004, 2005,
2009, 2010 and, barring a miracle, this year,
too. They havent even made the Sweet
Sixteen since 2002.
UCLA and its 11 national titles have
fared better than the Hoosiers, but its no
longer the prominent power it was under
John Wooden in the 60s and 70s. UCLA
has made 19 of the past 22 tournaments
and appeared in the Final Four from 2006-
2008, but couldnt win a national title and
missed the tournament two years later for
the third time in a decade. At 17-7, the
Bruins are back on the bubble again this
year.
The two final blue bloods are Kentucky
and North Carolina. The Wildcats made
every tournament from 1992 to 2008, but
missed the tournament for the first time in
18 years in 2009. They were absent from
the Sweet Sixteen from 2006 to 2009, and
last appeared in the Final Four in 1998.
The Tar Heels made 32 consecutive
tournaments from 1975 to 2001, but then
missed the next two tournaments, includ-
ing an embarrassing 8-20 campaign in
2001-2002. Last year, the team was pre-
season No. 6, but went 5-11 in ACC
Conference play, missed the tournament
and dropped out of the rankings in mid-
January.
While Kansas has had its share of tour-
nament disappointments, which dont need
to be rehashed, the Jayhawks currently
own the streak for most active consecutive
NCAA Tournament appearances at 21 and
counting. The streak likely would date back
to 1984, but the Jayhawks were ineligible in
1989 because of NCAA probation. During
their current streak, Kansas has claimed the
2008 national title to complement the 1988
title it won two years before the current
streak started. They were also the National
Runner-Up in 1991 and 2003, and made
Final Four appearances in 1993 and 2002.
While Carolina owns more Final Four
appearances during the past 21 years and
Duke has more titles, Im content with
our 21 straight tournament appearances,
Marios Miracle and being unfamiliar with
the NIT. This is something none of the
other traditional powers can say, which
makes me even more grateful to be a
Jayhawk.

The argument for each team is
an easy one. Ohio State has one
loss on the road at a top-15 oppo-
nent. Kansas one loss was to the
now-No. 3 team in the country.
Texas lost a few in a brutal non-
conference schedule, but won at
Allen Fieldhouse, which Jayhawk
fans know is mighty difficult. Dont
tell Marcus Morris that, though.
Theres been a lot of talk that
they might put Texas at No. 1, he
said, but I cant see how.
Junior forward Marcus Morris
wants it bad. Tyshawn Taylor
doesnt really care. But the No. 1
ranking in the country is not sub-
ject to the whims of those who may
hold it, and it will go to whatever
team the sportswriters and coaches
deem worthiest.
I want to be ranked No. 1,
Morris said, after a few minutes of
Taylor saying how it didnt matter.
Ive been waiting for him to ask
me that.
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor
cited last years early March exit as
proof that being No. 1 like the
Jayhawks were for 14 of 18 weeks in
the regular season doesnt mean
much at all.
We were No. 1 all last year,
he said, and weve got nothing to
show for it.
Morris says with No. 1 comes a
target and he thinks the Jayhawks
are ready for it. They may find out
soon after getting their ranking.
I want to have that chip on our
shoulder every time we go out. I
want to get everybodys best shot,
Morris said. I
think we can
take it.
The polls
are released
Monday after-
noon, and the
Jayhawks play
the second leg
of the Sunflower
S h o w d o w n
at 8 p.m. Monday in Manhattan.
Kansas State is in the midst of a
debacle of a season. After begin-
ning the year ranked preseason No.
3, the Wildcats have fallen out of
the rankings and into a number of
eye-catching headlines.
The latest from Manhattan is
the departure of forward Wally
Judge and a Kansas City Star report
that forward Curtis Kelly is under
investigation by the school.
My names scrolled across
the bottom of the ESPN thing,
too, Taylor said, referencing his
own off-court troubles last year.
Theyll be fine.
But while Morris is preoccu-
pied with wanting to have a top
rank to guard, coach Bill Self said
he doesnt want to worry about
defending a No. 1 ranking.
I think its almost a defensive
mode trying to hang onto some-
thing, Self
said. We need
to be in attack
mode no mat-
ter what.
Self s argu-
ment is backed
up by the fact
that Kansas
has played its
best basketball
of the season since it has been
chasing Texas for the conference
lead. Give the Jayhawks something
to chase, and they can do an awful
lot of winning.
Being No. 1, being No. 2, being
No. 3, it doesnt really matter,
Taylor said. At the end of the day,
were not going to go home sad.

Five straight wins in three
days. The best start to the season
since 1998. Coach Megan Smith
and the Jayhawks went into the
weekend expecting to see hard
work. They did see that and more
from across the board.
Kansas started its season in
Jacksonville, Fla., by defeating the
No. 25-ranked North Carolina
Tar Heels 5-4. The Jayhawks then
moved on to defeat Buffalo twice
13-3 and 5-1, Bethune-Cookman
5-0 and host, Jacksonville 6-1.
The matchup against the Tar
Heels was the first collegiate
start for freshman first baseman
Kendra Cullum and freshman
shortstop Ashley Newman. By
the end of the weekend, Newman
led the teams batting average
at .500 going
7-for-14.
She is phe-
nomenal at the
plate, Smith
said. She did
a really good
job using
her speed,
O v e r a l l ,
Newman stole
five bases during the weekend.
Throughout the weekend the
Jayhawk pitching staff showed
how depth pays off. Senior pitch-
er Allie Clark set the tone by
fending off the Tar Heels.
Clark threw a complete-
game shutout against Bethune-
Cookman allowing only two hits.
The Jayhawks solid defensive
play kept Bethune-Cookman
from scoring any runs.
As a pitcher, throughout all
those innings I was thinking,
Ground balls. I need to get
ground balls for my defense. I
need to work the corners. Clark
said. I was doing as much as
I could out
there for my
team.
Freshman
p i t c h e r
K r i s t i n
Ma r t i n e z
made her
first colle-
giate start
against Jacksonville. She threw
all seven innings striking out six
batters and walking two.
Kristen was a huge bright spot
for us, Smith said. She came in
and was absolutely fearless.
The Kansas defense appeared
in senior catcher Brittany Hiles
play from behind home plate.
During Sundays game against
Buffalo, the Bulls batter lay down
a sacrifice bunt with a runner on
first. Hiles quick reaction to the
ball sent it flying across the field
to sophomore infielder Mariah
Montgomery in time to pick off
the runner
and get the
out.
The Hull
twins were
pr o du c i ng
plenty of
power for
the Kansas
offense over
the weekend. During Fridays
game against Buffalo, sopho-
more outfielder Maggie Hull hit
a grand slam over the left field
wall to bring in three runs for the
Jayhawks.
For me a grand slam is just as
good as getting the bunt signal
and laying it down or getting a
walk, Maggie said. I am just
happy to help my team out in
any way.
Sophomore outfielder Rosie
Hull used her speed in slapping
to earn her two hits and batted
in two runs in Sundays Buffalo
game. At the top of the seventh
she hit a single to the right side
of the infield and batted in her
sister Maggie as well as Cullum.
Ma g g i e
said when
C u l l u m
was up to
hit, she
knew Smith
would give
her the hit
away sign.
I was
freaking out in the dug out; I was
jumping up and down, Maggie
said. I was so excited because I
knew that she was going to get
the job done, .
The team will be spending a
few days in Lawrence to prepare
for their next trip to Deland,
Fla., for the Stetson Hatter
Invitational.
We are going to refocus and
approach next weekend like it is
opening weekend again, Smith
said. We cant get too excited
about 5-0, weve got to get back
to work.

Junior guard
Players disagree on the importance of No. 1 ranking
mike Gunnoe/kanSan
Junior guardTyshawnTaylor puts up a shot frombeyond the arc Saturday against Iowa State. Taylor scored 14 points in the Jayhawk 89-66 victory.
N
ot long ago, Jeff Withey
could practically take a
nap on the bench and get
away with it. Bill Self had other
things to fume over.
With the Morris twins forcing
scouts to salivate and Thomas
Robinson slam-dunking so
fiercely that the ball often
splintered the hardwood
on its way down, Withey sat
comfortably on the bench.
The Morrii are still inspiring
Pavlovian effects, but Robinson
tore the meniscus in his right
knee on a dunk against Missouri
and will miss about two weeks. So
during Saturdays 89-66 victory
against Iowa State, Self entered
Withey into the equation and the
seven-footer fit the part. In nine
minutes played, he finished with
eight points, connecting on all
three-shot attempts and two free
throws, two rebounds, two blocks
and a steal.
He did look goofy out there,
though I doubt even double-
doubles could shed that trait.
He seemed nervous, too. On the
court, he was hesitant, occasion-
ally shying away from attacking
the Cyclones instead of dictating
with his size.
At the post-game press con-
ference, joined by media jesters
Marcus Morris and Tyshawn
Taylor, Withey shook slightly in
his mammoth-sized shoes. After
Withey shared brief and quiet
words on his playing time, Morris
and Taylor dominated the rest
with their usual hilarity.
Withey tried responding to
a later question, squeaking out
a soft syllable or two, but was
quickly beat to it by Morris. He
just backed down and let his more
outspoken teammate, who didnt
even notice Witheys attempt, take
it away.
But no one is asking Jeff
Withey to develop a
Taylor- or Morris-like
demeanor. No one is
asking him to dunk
ferociously and then
find the camera with
two clenched fists.
He simply needs
to use his
size
in the middle and swat a shot
here and there.
Nobodys going to be able to
get in there and take a layup,
Morris said. Hes so long and he
has great timing.
The last time Withey received
this much playing time, he fouled
out and surrendered two turn-
overs against UMKC in 14 min-
utes played. Even though Witheys
expanded role is more by neces-
sity than it is by desire or readi-
ness, its still nice to see Self strip
the leash off the big puppy.
Most, if not all of the student
section agrees. When Withey
converted on a turnaround hook
shot that was within arms reach
of the hoop, Allen Fieldhouse
bursted. Simply put, we want to
see Withey succeed.
Come to think of it, theyre
used to be another huge white
guy, this one from Bloomington,
Minn., who never played when he
first became a Jayhawk. Cole
Aldrich waited patiently for
his time to come. By the time
Withey arrived in Lawrence,
Aldrich and Sherron Collins
ruled the Fieldhouse.
This team doesnt need
another ruler, but it does
need a serviceable stop-gap.
The fact that fans just
love the guy could be
considered an added
bonus. Jeff Withey,
nap time is over.
