Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
The pace picks up. Its easy to get
distracted and miss an important

unnecessary upsets. Let others share
expenses. May it easy for them to
contribute.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Continue to increase your knowledge

the soil (and the soul).
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is an 8

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 9
Youll be gaining condence this
week, naturally. New prots become

emotions.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
Your dedication, patience and
attention to detail are a necessity

Meditate. Take a bubble bath.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
Theres a choice ahead, and its not
an easy one. Your friends pull through

outside obligations. Clean up a mess.
Handle chores, and then kick back
and assimilate it all.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
Be patient with things that dont
make sense. Taking deep breaths and

MOVIE REVIEW
Latest Hunger Games
lm burns up box ofce
Catching Fire is arguably one
of the most anticipated movies of
the year. Tis second installment
in the insanely popular Hunger
Games series is just as gripping as
the frst maybe even more so
and twice as jarring.
Te Hunger Games trilogy
resumes with main character Kat-
niss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence)
dealing with the political and
emotional repercussions of her
Hunger Games victory (docu-
mented in the frst flm of the
series). Katniss and fellow District
12 inhabitant Peeta Mellark (Josh
Hutcherson) turned the entire
country of Panem on its head
when both were proclaimed as
winners of the annual games a
bloody reminder of a rebellion
more than half a century before.
As Katniss and Peeta tour the
country, they become a symbol for
a new revolution and, conse-
quently, a threat to the controlling
government.
Te plot is a credit to Hunger
Games author Suzanne Collins.
Collins is an expert at creating
plot twists and keeping audiences
guessing. Trough her ingenuity,
Collins is able to turn her series,
originally meant for teen audienc-
es, into something enticing and
exciting for all ages.
Tough everything about the
movie is excellent the plot is
wonderful and the cinematog-
raphy is perfect the one thing
Catching Fire does especially
well is reiterate Katniss value as a
female protagonist. Katniss stands
up for what she believes in, but, in
doing so, is still unsure of herself.
She has real feelings and emo-
tional complexity. Katniss is the
heroine young-adult literature and
flm has been missing for quite
some time. Troughout the series,
she has made herself worthy of
role-model status for everyone,
teenager or not.
Catching Fire keeps with the
trilogys tradition of engrossing
plots with realistic characters. It
is a worthy sequel to last years
Hunger Games and a successful
lead into the fnal movie, which
will be broken up into two parts.

MUSIC REVIEW
Death Grips release
samples old lyrics
Death Grips is an experimen-
tal hip-hop group based out of
Sacramento, Calif. Te group
consists of lead vocalist MC Ride,
drummer Zach Hill and producer
Andy Morin. Te group has
received much critical acclaim
throughout the last few years,
especially its 2012 album, Te
Money Store. A few weeks ago,
the group released Government
Plates seemingly out of nowhere
and completely for free.
Tere is no other group or band
that can be compared to Death
Grips. Its sound is pretty hard to
explain but to try and put it sim-
ply, its like hip-hop mixed with
punk rock and electronic music.
On paper this combination seems
like it would be awful, but it all
comes together incredibly.
If theres one word that describes
Death Grips music, its aggres-
sive. MC Ride is not like any oth-
er rapper out there. He screams
his lyrics, and is at times incom-
prehensible. On the surface, it
seems like hes just screaming
nonsense. But once you actually
fgure out his lyrics, you realize
that hes an incredible lyricist.
Te biggest downfall of Gov-
ernment Plates is that MC Ride
doesnt appear enough. Tis was
upsetting because on the opening
track, Ride gives an extreme-
ly intense vocal performance.
Sadly, throughout the album
instead of new verses from Ride,
the band chose to continuously
sample previous verses. Tis type
of sampling isnt new to Death
Grips, but it leaves the listener
unsatisfed.
Since MC Ride doesnt appear
as much as he does on previous
eforts, the production carries
this project. Zach Hill and Andy
Morin are geniuses. Every Death
Grips release has been fantastic
musically and Government
Plates is no exception. Every-
thing from the noisy synths to
the hard-hitting drums sounds
amazing. Te beats can get a
little repetitive at times, but quite
frankly theyre the best part about
the album.
If youve never given Death Grips
a shot, you should at least give
this project a listen. Its not good
as previous eforts, but its still
really good.

Pumpkin pie is a popular dessert served with
Tanksgiving dinner, but pumpkin treats can wear
out before then. Instead of the usual pie, try one of
these fall-inspired desserts with 10 ingredients or
less.
CINNAMON APPLE SWIRL CAKE:
Tis cinnamon apple swirl cake only uses fve
ingredients, which dont require intense preparation.
Te cake provides a rich treat that is low-fat but still
satisfes a sweet tooth. (Recipe courtesy of a family
recipe.)
Ingredients:
-3 eggs
-17 ounces applesauce
-1 box of yellow cake mix
- cup sugar
-3 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a
bundt pan with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Start
by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small
bowl. Sprinkle two tablespoons of the mixture into
the greased bundt pan. Next, combine the eggs, ap-
plesauce and cake mix with a whisk in a medium-size
bowl. Scoop half the batter into the bundt pan and
sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on
top. Pour the remaining batter into the pan and bake
for 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool for at least 15
minutes before fipping the pan to remove the cake.
APPLE CIDER CARAMEL COOKIES:
Cookies are a dessert that is easy to serve and can be
snacked on throughout the day. Tis recipe uses fa-
vors of caramel and cider to bring the essence of fall
to the dessert table. (Recipe courtesy of Six Sisters
Stuf blog.)
Ingredients:
-1 cup unsalted butter, nearly melted
-1 cup granulated sugar
- teaspoon salt
-1 box Alpine Spiced Apple Cider Instant
Original Drink Mix
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon baking soda
- teaspoon baking powder
-3 cups all-purpose four
-1 (14 ounce) bag Kraf Caramels
Directions:
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Make
sure to line the baking sheets with parchment paper
to prevent a sticky mess. Combine butter, sugar, salt
and cider packets in a bowl and cream with a mixer
until batter is fufy. Add in the eggs and vanilla
extract, followed by the baking soda and baking
powder. Lastly, mix in the four until combined.
Form the dough into balls and place two inches apart
on the baking sheet. Make an indent in the center of
the cookie to place an unwrapped caramel and form
the dough around it. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until the
cookies are golden brown.
SIMPLE PUMPKIN PIE BARS:
If the pumpkin still needs to be in the Tanksgiving
meal somewhere, try these simple pumpkin pie bars.
It resembles pumpkin pie with a homemade crust
and flling, but ofers something with a little more
spice. (Recipe courtesy of Some the Wiser blog.)
Crust Ingredients:
-1 cup unbleached white four
- cup brown sugar
-1 stick of butter (sofened)
Filling Ingredients:
-8 ounces cream cheese (sofened)
- cup sugar
- cup pumpkin puree
-2 eggs (slightly beaten)
-1 teaspoons cinnamon
-1 teaspoon allspice
-1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Start the crust by
combining all crust ingredients into a food processor
and pulsing several times until crumbly. Measure
out cup of crust and set aside. Press the remaining
crust mixture into a 8x11 pan and bake for 15 min-
utes. Combine flling ingredients into a medium size
bowl and mix together with an electric mixer until
smooth. Pour the batter onto the cooled crust and
sprinkle the remaining crust on top. Bake for 30 to 35
minutes, or until frm.

HOLIDAYS TELEVISION
CHEPSTOW, Wales Te
myths, magic and monsters of
ancient Greek lore are coming to
life in the BBC's new fantasy-ad-
venture series "Atlantis" from
the unlikely setting of a former
frozen-food warehouse in Wales.
A vast space once stufed with
supermarket foodstufs has been
turned into a television studio,
flled with sets recreating the
fabled lost city, complete with
temples and terracotta-roofed
houses, ceremonial bull ring and
regal palace.
"Atlantis," which starts on BBC
America Saturday, is already a
sizable hit in Britain, where it flls
the family-viewing weekend slot
previously occupied by sword-
and-sorcery series "Merlin."
"Atlantis" was created by some
of the same team as "Merlin,"
and like that show takes age-old
stories and seasons them with
humor, thrills and a central
bromance.
Actor Mark Addy, who plays a
less-than-heroic version of Her-
cules in "Atlantis," says the recipe
involves "a lot of heart and a lot
of humor and a huge amount of
action and adventure."
"Tey wanted it to be epic in
scale and in feeling, and that's
what they've managed to do," he
said during a break on a busy
day's flming in August.
"We're doing stuf that you'd
only ever see in movies, because
it's difcult and it's expensive and
it's time consuming and it's chal-
lenging," Addy said of the 13-part
series, shot over nine months in
Wales and Morocco.
"Atlantis" opens with a young
man named Jason played by
the strapping, curly haired Jack
Donnelly washing up in the
city of Atlantis, disoriented but
somehow instantly at home.
Te Oracle there's always an
oracle hints at big secrets to be
revealed.
Jason soon meets brainy, kindly
Pythagoras. "Te triangle guy?"
asks Jason, and indeed it is the an-
cient philosopher and mathemati-
cian, here a young man played by
Robert Emms.
Te third side of the central
triangle is Hercules, in the
perhaps surprising form of
Addy, the burly actor who played
a steelworker-turned-stripper in
"Te Full Monty" and King Robert
Baratheon in "Game of Trones."
Te casting is a sign of the
show's fexible approach to the
Greek myths. Tis Hercules has
superhuman strength, but he's no
bronzed muscleman.
"He wasn't strong because he
went to the gym, he was strong
because he was Zeus's son," Addy
explained, reasonably. "Although
he was a demigod, I think he's
inherited most of his mother's
mortal traits. He drinks and gam-
bles and he's a womanizer."
Te cast includes Sarah Parish as
scheming queen Pasiphae, Aiysha
Hart as comely princess Ariadne,
and Jemima Rooper as Medusa
here a young woman who has
yet to become the snake-haired
gorgon of legend.
But the show rests on the three
main actors, referred to collec-
tively by their fellow actors as "the
boys."
For the 49-year-old Addy, being
one of the boys has been fun
even if hanging out with his
27-year-old co-stars makes him
feel "very old."
He recalled nipping out for
a cigarette during a meal with
Emms and hearing a woman at
the next table say "'Your dad's
being very polite.' And Rob of
course didn't disabuse her."
Such mix-ups probably ended
as soon as the frst episode of
"Atlantis" was broadcast in
September. Te show is watched
by seven million people a week
in Britain, and a second season
has already been announced. And
Donnelly has become something
of a heartthrob.
On set in August, Donnelly said
the feeling that his life was about
to change was "amazing and
daunting."
"It's the best thing that's ever
happened to me by a long, long
way," said the cheerful actor, look-
ing as bouncily indestructible as
his character, who is required to
battle bulls, baddies and Mino-
taurs on a weekly basis, clad in a
fetching jerkin.
"Te frst few weeks I was terri-
fed. I was just waiting to get fred.
... I mean, my last job before this
was in (comedy show) 'Misfts'
and I was wearing a white rabbit
mask and I had no lines and no
one saw my face.
"To go from that to this, I sud-
denly thought 'I'm not ready.' It
has got slightly easier since then."
Emms has a longer CV, in-
cluding major flm roles in "War
Horse" and opposite Julia Roberts
in "Mirror Mirror." But he said he
was also nervous although that
was ofset by his family's delight at
his new role.
"I've played ... some not very
nice people, some weirdos," he
said. "And my mum's like, 'I'm
so pleased you're playing a nice
person who doesn't kill anyone.'
She always just wanted me to play
a doctor."

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. Te
budding entrepreneurs wear blue
sweatpants labeled "prisoner" and
huge, fapping blue shirts. Teir
doors are triple locked, and lunch
is a stale peanut butter and jelly
sandwich. Complicating matters,
participants in this growing Silicon
Valley startup incubator are barred
from the Internet.
Nonetheless, the program,
launched by successful tech
entrepreneurs for inmates north of
San Francisco in the decaying San
Quentin State Prison, has expand-
ed, and a new session began this
month in the gritty, downtown Los
Angeles Twin Towers Correctional
Facility.
Te reason they're growing is
simple: Graduates, now trickling
out of the penal system, are land-
ing real jobs at real dot-coms.
Te rigorous, six-month training
teaches carefully selected inmates
the ins and outs of designing
and launching technology frms,
using local experts as volunteer
instructors.
"We believe that when incar-
cerated people are released into
the world, they need the tools
to function in today's high-tech,
wired world," says co-founder
Beverly Parenti, who with her hus-
band, Chris Redlitz, has launched
thriving companies, including
AdAuction, the frst online media
exchange.
Te pair were Silicon Valley
pioneers in the 1990s, and they tap
their many high-level connections
to help with the prison program
they started the program afer
Redlitz was invited into San Quen-
tin in 2011 for a guest lecture and
was overwhelmed by the inmates'
desire to learn.
"I fgured, 'We work with young
entrepreneurs every day. Why not
here?'" he recalled.
Afer discussions with prison
administrators, Parenti and Redlitz
decided to add a prison-based frm
to their portfolio, naming it for the
precarious journey from prison to
home: Te Last Mile.
Now, during twice-a-week
evening lessons, students many
locked up before smartphones
or Google practice tweeting,
brainstorm new companies and
discuss business books assigned
as homework. Banned from the In-
ternet to prevent networking with
other criminals, they take notes on
keyboard-like word processors or
with pencil on paper.
Te program is still "bootstrap-
ping," as its organizers say, with
just 12 graduates in its frst two
years and now a few dozen in
classes in San Quentin and Twin
Towers. But the fve graduates
released so far are working in the
tech sector.
Tey are guaranteed paid intern-
ships if they can fnish the rigorous
training program, which requires
prerequisite courses, proven social
skills and a lifetime oath to lead by
positive example.
In one recent class, while thou-
sands of inmates exercised or
played chess in San Quentin's pris-
on yard, students worked their way
through a business model, pitching
diferent technology concepts.
"What are the distribution chan-
nels?" challenged seminar leader
Andrew Kaplan, a product market-
ing manager at LinkedIn. "What
platforms or networks do we need
to think about? Who are we trying
to engage?"
Tommy Winfrey, 35, who is
serving 25 years to life for sec-
ond-degree murder and hopes to
be paroled in 2018, adjusted his
eyeglasses and raised a tattooed
arm. "I think an important part
of our brand is going to be to give
our customer a voice," he said,
suggesting they share ideas on
social media.
On a Silicon Valley-style Demo
Day, the startup students present
ideas to investors, a demonstration
that convinced former California
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation director Matthew
Cate he made the right decision to
approve the training course.
"Tis program will go a long way
to not only providing these guys
with jobs, but it is my hope that
they hire people like them who
have changed their lives and are
now ready to contribute to society,
pay taxes, follow the law, support
their families. All those things
contribute to the economy," he
told participants afer watching the
2012 Demo Day.
Inmates also learn the essen-
tial startup skills of blogging, in
part by answering questions on
Quora, a website that allows users
and experts to communicate,
by having volunteers input their
entries. Without real businesses
to discuss, thousands of readers
ask the inmates questions such as:
"What does it feel like to murder
someone?"
"Murdering someone was the
ultimate release for me," blogged
David Monroe, 30, who killed
a 16-year-old when he was 15.
Over the long term, he added, the
murder "has forever pitted my
heart with regret and covered it in
shame."
Writing publically about their
crimes, organizers say, helps the
inmates move forward once they
are released.
Just months afer serving 24 years
for repeat drug ofenses and weap-
ons possession, Chrisfno Kenyatta
Leal fed his cat and ironed his shirt
before hurrying of to catch a Bay
Area Rapid Transit train in to his
ofce in San Francisco.
"I always had an entrepreneurial
fre in my belly, I just used it in the
wrong way," said Leal, 45.
Like the other entrepreneurs
hurrying to meetings, tapping on
computers and talking on smart-
phones at startup RocketSpace,
Leal has a passion for technology
and the possibilities it holds.
He just acquired his skills in a
very diferent classroom.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. For
months, all eyes in the sky have
pointed at the comet that's zoom-
ing toward a blisteringly close
encounter with the sun.
Te moment of truth comes
Tursday Tanksgiving Day.
Te sun-grazing Comet ISON,
now thought to be less than a mile
wide, will either fry and shatter,
victim of the sun's incredible pow-
er, or endure and quite possibly
put on one fabulous celestial show.
Talk about an astronomical
clifanger.
Even the smartest scientists are
reluctant to lay odds.
Should it survive, ISON, pro-
nounced EYE'-sahn, would be
visible with the naked eye through
December, at least from the North-
ern Hemisphere. Discernible at
times in November with ordinary
binoculars and occasionally even
just the naked eye, it already has
dazzled observers and is consid-
ered the most scrutinized comet
ever by NASA. But the best is,
potentially, yet to come.
Detected more than a year ago,
the comet is passing through the
inner solar system for the frst
time. Still fresh, this comet is
thought to bear the pristine matter
of the beginning of our solar
system.
It's believed to be straight from
the Oort cloud on the fringes of
the solar system, home to count-
less icy bodies, most notably the
frozen balls of dust and gas in orbit
around the sun known as comets.
For whatever reason, ISON was
propelled out of this cloud and
drawn toward the heart of the
solar system by the sun's intense
gravitational pull.
Te closer the comet gets to the
sun, the faster it gets.
In January, it was clocked at
40,000 mph.
By last Tursday, with just a week
to go, it had accelerated to 150,000
mph.
Right around the time many
Americans will be feasting on
turkey, the comet will zip within
730,000 miles of the sun, less than
the actual solar diameter. In other
words, another sun wouldn't ft in
the missed distance.
By the time ISON slingshots
around the sun, it will be moving
at a mind-boggling 828,000 mph.
Whether it survives or is torn
apart, earthlings have nothing to
fear.
Te comet will venture no closer
to us than about 40 million miles,
less than half the distance between
Earth and the sun. Tat closest
approach to Earth will occur Dec.
26. Ten it will head away in the
opposite direction forever, given
its anticipated trajectory once it
fies by the sun.
ISON is named afer the Interna-
tional Scientifc Optical Network,
used by a pair of Russian astron-
omers to detect the comet in Sep-
tember last year. But it ofcially is
known as C/2012 S1, a designation
indicating when it was discovered.
Take heart: Te "C'' means it is
not expected here again.
NASA wasted no time jumping
on ISON. Te space agency's Deep
Impact spacecraf observed ISON
back in January from a distance of
about 500 million miles.
Since then, the observations have
stacked up.
Among NASA's space telescopes
taking a look: Swif, Hubble,
Spitzer, Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter, Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory or SOHO, Chandra,
Mercury-orbiting Messenger, and
the Stereo twin spacecraf.
"Every spacecraf that has a
camera, we're turning on it," said
John Grunsfeld, NASA's science
mission director.

Afer a cold night in Ames,
Iowa, Kansas once again fnds
itself in the cellar of the Big 12.
Te feld at Jack Trice Stadium
was icy, close to the second com-
ing of the frozen tundra: Lambeau
Field. Taking any misdirection on
the feld almost always resulted
into a stumble-fest, where getting
full traction on the feld was near
impossible.
Te temperature was frigid the
whole night, plummeting to a
wind chill of -7 degrees in the
second half, but a lot more things
went unfavorably for Kansas than
merely the feld conditions.
We lost 34-0, senior ofensive
linemen Gavin Howard said. Te
feld wasnt the reason we got
killed.
Head coach Charlie Weis cer-
tainly saw the feld as an obstacle,
but didnt see it ft for an excuse of
why Kansas got walloped 34-0 by
Iowa State.
I really didnt feel like the
weather itself was a factor, Weis
said. I thought the feld was a
factor. But both teams played on
the same feld, obviously Iowa
State did a much better job of
handling the feld.
Coupled with the scary cold
weather was the dangerously
futile Kansas ofense, which had
fve drives inside Iowa States
territory in the frst half but failed
to muster any points. Tis was
Kansas frst shutout on the wrong
end Texas defeated the Jayhawks
43-0 in 2011.
In Montell Cozarts frst road
start as a Jayhawk, he struggled
and had statistically his worst
game of the season. Cozart saw
some lanes open early on, but two
mistakes in the frst half spelled
out the freshman quarterbacks
rough night.
Kansas was driving inside of
Iowa States territory and had a
third down to push the ball into
the red zone. On a 3rd-and-10,
Cozart tucked it and dashed
toward the sidelines, but as he
neared the frst down marker, he
stepped out of bounds just a yard
short.
Cozart had an open cutback
lane, but never saw it. Weis chal-
lenged the spot and lost, and one
play later James Sims was stufed
on fourth down as Kansas again
failed to muster anything.
Te next blunder came when
Cozart overthrew his receiver
by a few yards at the end of the
half resulting in an interception.
Iowa State was only up 10-0 at the
break, but missed opportunities
defned the half.
Cozart fnished the game four
of 12 for 20 yards and afer Weis
fgured that running to the out-
side wasnt working partly due to
the feld conditions, Cozart was
yanked for Jake Heaps midway
through the third quarter.
Kansas totaled just 279 total
yards and was three-of-16 on
third downs as it saw itself fall in
last place in the Big 12 once again.
A win versus Kansas State next
weekend is the only thing that will
change that.
Iowa State, which didnt have
much impediments of moving
the ball, struck frst guided by a
58-yard pass from Grant Rohach
to ISU running back Aaron Wim-
bley who ran past an exposed Ben
Heeney pass coverage with no
help behind him.
Iowa State had its second largest
scoring output of the season
and compiled 502 yards of total
ofense.
Weis mentioned that this loss
will only be emotional blow for
one day and that it will be well
aware in preparing for the Sun-
fower Showdown.
Anytime youre playing your
arch rival, it shouldnt take much
to rally the troops, Weis said.
If it does then you really have a
problem.

BLAKE SCHUSTER

High in section 21 of Allen
Fieldhouse the last few rows of
student seating the sign went
up.
Lobrence, KS. cut out in huge
white letters.
Te Jayhawks took the court at
the same time the sign debuted
and barely noticed, but the rest of
the crowd was enthralled.
It was either an ominous
warning for Towson, or someone
tipped those students of to the
Jayhawks game plan: Go up,
throw down and repeat.
For the frst 20 minutes thats
all Kansas seemed to do. A quick
pass from Naadir Tarpe, or a
dunk from Tarik Black, Wayne
Selden Jr. or Andrew Wiggins. It
was a pick your highlight type of
night as No. 2 Kansas defeated
Towson 88-58.
We were aggressive, ran the
foor, threw lobs and played hard,
Wiggins said afer a team leading
16-point performance. Its our
nature. We just always think
attack and drive. We play for each
other.
Kansas was on the cusp of an
explosive performance, espe-
cially afer clobbering Iona with
alley-oops in the second half last
Tuesday. In that game the Jay-
hawks outscored their opponent
by 20 points. Against Towson,
they upped that to 30 at one
point leading by 39.
Every other top fve team has
recorded a victory of 30 points or
more in this young season a bar
thats expected to be met against
lesser challengers.
None of which is to say that
Kansas hadnt played a good game
yet, only that it hadnt played a
complete game. Tat much was
quashed as the Jayhawks shoved
aside the Tigers. Bullied them out
of Lawrence like a group of kids
who wouldnt let anyone else play
with the toys in their clubhouse.
Tey were locked in tonight,
Towson coach Pat Skerry said.
If theres a better team in the
country Id like to fnd out who
they are, but I wouldnt like to
play them.
Kansas toyed with the rim, the
3-point line (7-16) and of course
the Tigers, whose plan of attack
blew up in the frst few minutes.
Te plan was to get into a half-
court defensive war and then try
to push it, Jerrelle Benimon said,
who led Towson with 21 points.
We werent making shots so we
couldnt really keep them out of
transition.
Which is what made the
Lobrence sign so timely. Afer
every missed Towson shot, and
every failed attempt by the Tigers
to crash the glass, Kansas started
running.
An outlet pass from Joel Embiid,
a dunk by Andrew Wiggins,
or Andrew White III, or Tarik
Black or Wayne Selden Jr. and
jump back on defense. It was like
watching a dog fall for the same
trick again and again.
Te Jayhawks combined for 19
assists while scoring 29 points on
the fast break. Towson mustered
just eight points in transition.
Id like to say Ive been working
with him, Kansas coach Bill Self
said of Embiids passing. Its in-
stinctive. Hes just smart like that.
He understands, hes got feel. He
was good at it tonight.
So the Jayhawks kept going up.
Soaring over the foor while their
opponents helplessly looked on
down below.
Maybe those kids holding up the
sign knew what was coming. Or
maybe they were just damn lucky.
We looked athletic, Self said. I
think thats the frst time all year.
