Your peers don’t drink as much as you think

Health officials saymisperceptions can lead

some to overindulge

Tis is the second in a series from Te University DailyKansan exploring issues im-

pacting student wellness.

When Becca Levine cameto campus as a reshman,she thought everyone would

be partying all the time. Herconcept o student lie wasshaped by movies such as"Animal House" and otherimages popularized by Vand social media. She soonrealized she had an exagger-ated view o student behavior.“I thought, coming into the

college, you had to drink iyou wanted to be social, es-pecially in different organi-zations,” said Levine, a seniorrom St. Louis. “I came upwith an assumption that youhave to orce [yoursel] todrink, or I would stand out iI didn’t in a social situation.”Such perceptions worry

health officials, who say stu-dents who overinflate thedrinking habits o their peersare at risk o over-drinkingthemselves.“When individuals perceive

a certain behavior to be nor-mal, that will change theirbehavior,” said Jenny McKee,director o the University’sHealth Education ResourceOffice.In a recent survey o more

than 425 University under-

graduate students as part othe 2015 National CollegeHealth Survey, 32 percent ofirst-year students said theythought “typical” studentsdrank on 10-19 days o thelast 30 days. However, whenasked how much they drank,14 percent said they actuallydrink that ofen.For second-year students,

the gap waseven larger

— 34 percent o second-yearstudents said their peersdrank 10-19 days in the pastmonth, compared with 5 per-cent who said they drank thatrequently.Te University results mir-

ror national studies, which

show that students common-ly overestimate how muchother students drink. A studyo National College HealthAssessment data rom 2000to 2003 ound that studentsat 130 schools overestimat-ed both the requency andamount o alcohol consumedby their peers. Tis was trueor schools where many stu-dents abstained rom drink-ing, as well as or schoolswhere students reporteddrinking three or our drinksthe last time they went out.Te study ound that percep-tion o the campus drinkingnorm is the “strongest predic-tor” o the amount a studentpersonally consumes.McKee said the gap between

what students think theirpeers are doing versus actu-al behavior may be based onhearing about or seeing ex-treme behavior. Te drinkinghabits o others can be ampli-fied in the minds o students,which can, in turn, cause stu-dents to drink more, McKeesaid.“I you’re seeing these sta-

tistical outlying behaviors opeople being transported tothe hospital, or seeing peoplepassed out, or seeing peoplethrowing up, or you are con-stantly aced or hearing sto-ries o people being very, verydrunk, that might lead a stu-dent who might drink occa-sionally — but is not a regularthing to do

— to modiy their behavior tofit what they believe to be thenorm," McKee said.

She said student livingarrangements are also aactor.“When you live on acampus like ours, where

about 80 percent o first-yearstudents live in a residentialcommunity such as residencehalls or scholarship halls, theysee a lot o that behavior,”McKee said. “Tey see peoplecoming home rom bars orparties with some pretty ex-

treme behavior.”In the University survey,

about 24 percent o studentssaid they had no alcohol thelast time they socialized, while10 percent said they had our

Precious Porras, interim di-rector or the Office o Mul-ticultural Affairs and finalcandidate or the vacant OMAdirector position, presents onFriday on the topic o “Strate-gic Leadership at KU’s Officeo Multicultural Affairs.” Tepresentation is at 11 a.m. inthe Kansas Room o the Kan-sas Union.

Te first candidate, FestusAddo-Yobo, director o BlackPrograms at New Mexico StateUniversity, presented on Mon-day. Andre Brown, ederal out-reach and student service pro-gram director at Arizona StateUniversity, presented on ues-day. All candidates present onthe same topic.

Jerry Craword, associate journalism proessor and chair

o the search committee, saidthe topic was selected becauseo the importance o strategicplanning in leading a Univer-sity program.

“We want someone who cancome in here and speak onmore than just saying, ‘I wantto help students,'” he said. “Wewant to look at how they canincorporate everything romnot just students, but aculty,staff, the community, retention

and Endowment. So system-atically, they need to be ableto look at how the programworks."

Festus Addo-YoboDuring a reception afer his

presentation, Addo-Yobo talk-ed with students and answeredquestions on topics includingNative American recruitmentand involvement on campus,how he can help LGBQ+ stu-dents o color, issues students

o color ace and his plans orthe multicultural center.

He spoke in detail o socialplans, like having speakerscome in to talk, having debatesand other social gatherings toget students involved in themulticultural center. Addo-Yo-bo also answered questionsand discussed the disconnectbetween the University oKansas and Haskell Indian Na-tions University.

Frank Angel, a Universitystudent, talked about his expe-rience on campus as a NativeAmerican student, the lack oNative American representa-tion on campus and his rus-trations about the lack o edu-cation in what it means to bea Native American student. Herecalled a time when he men-tioned he was Native Ameri-can and a peer said "you lookawul white to me."

In response, Addo-Yobo sug-gested students use instancessuch as those as teachable mo-ments or other students.

“I liked him, and I liked a ewo the responses that he gave,but ultimately I elt like he wasbeating around the bush a lit-tle bit, and he didn’t answermy question specifically or myriend Omar Rana's questionspecifically,” Angel said. “Andit was just a little tiring. I eltthere was a little tension inthe room because people weregetting tired o it, and I kind owas, too. But, over all, I thinkhe was alright.”

Craword was also presentmomentarily at the meeting.Craword encouraged every-

one to visit the provost office'swebsite to leave their thoughtson the candidate.

"Your voice will be heard, andwe will read everything, andwe will not discount it," Craw-ord said.

Andre BrownBrown highlighted the im-

portance o collaboration andstudent retention during hisuesday presentation.

“My philosophy as an educa-tor is to change lives throughthe opportunity o education,”he said. “[In the Office o Mul-ticultural Affairs] You can’t

just wait or students to cometo you. You have to go to them,and I believe that wholeheart-edly."

Brown also emphasizedbuilding a relationship be-tween academic departmentsand the OMA by ensuring thecurriculum and opportunitiespresented to students preparethem to be constructive mem-bers o society.

“Why not stand to developa relationship with each aca-demic college? College is to getan education and to eventuallygain employment," he said. "Sohow do we provide supportand scholarship opportunitiesor students to be successul?In addition to being Universi-ty o Kansas students, you alsowant to be successul, produc-tive citizens."

Brown said that in order ororganizations like the OMA tosucceed, student voices mustbe heard.

“Te bottom line is this: You

need to listen to students,” hesaid. “You need to hear theirconcerns, and you have to havea dialogue. I want to know what your concerns are.”

Rock Chalk Invisible Hawktweeted afer Brown's presen-tation that they hadn't beenimpressed with either o thefirs two candidates.

drinks. Another 36 percentsaid they had five or moredrinks. Te rest o the stu-dents surveyed reported hav-ing rom one to three drinks.Te Centers or Disease Con-trol and Prevention defines

binge drinking as consumingour drinks or women or fiveor men in one sitting.A U.S. Department o Health

and Human Services study oalcohol trends rom 1977 to2008 suggested that collegestudents are more likely thantheir non-college-studentpeers to confine their drink-ing to weekends, which mayhelp explain why they binge

drink.Binge drinking and over

consuming alcohol, in gener-al, can lead to health, behav-ior and academic problems.Among the University stu-dents surveyed, about a thirdsaid they orgot where theywere or what they did whiledrinking in the past 12months. About 21 percentreported having unprotectedsex afer consuming alcohol.Media influences also play a

role in student perceptions.Lawrence made nationalheadlines earlier this yearwhen Business Insider namedit the most hungover city inAmerica, based on high rateso heavy or binge drinkingand the large number o bars

and liquors stores comparedwith the population.

Lance Watson, director oStudent Conduct and Com-munity Standards, said pop-ular media helps create the

perception o college lierevolving around drinking

and drugs because they rare-ly show the academic part ocollege. “Tere’s this cultural mythol-

ogy around going to collegeor to a university that, ‘Well,

it’s college,’ and it’s interest ingto hear that rom students, es-pecially in a student conductsetting, 'Well, it’s college —

this is kind o what you do,’”Watson said.

A tobacco-use ban could be a catalyst for KU policy

Watkins Health Center opens faculty

and staff care clinic to boost revenue

DARBY VANHOUTAN@darbyvanhoutan

ALANA FLINN@alana_flinn

Parks in Lawrence could soonbe tobacco-ree i a draf policypasses.

Lawrence Parks and Recreationcreated a draf in Novemberthat would ban tobacco use on

its land and in all parks. Similarpolicies were drafed in 2013 and2014, but neither passed throughthe Parks and Recreation De-partment.

Charlie Bryan, communityhealth planner or the Lawrenceand Douglas County Health De-partment, is working on makingLawrence’s new policy and onmaking the University tobaccoree.

“Our goal is to ban the use ocigarettes and electronic ciga-rettes in outdoor spaces wherechildren typically gather, whichare parks,” Bryan said. “We are

also involved in supporting KU’sgoal to become tobacco ree.”

Tere are 471 tobacco-reecampuses in the United States,according to the American LungAssociation, but the Universityis not one o them. Some havecalled or making campus com-

pletely tobacco ree, but smokingis only banned in campus build-ings, student housing and Me-morial Stadium, according to thesmoking policy webpage.

Te move to make the Univer-sity a 100 percent tobacco-reecampus began in March 2013when Student Senate created asurvey to gauge students’ inter-est in a more restrictive smokingpolicy. In May 2013, the Depart-ment o Human Resources ol-lowed suit and created a similarsurvey.

In both surveys, the majorityo respondents said they’d preera stricter campus tobacco pol-icy and would be in avor o asmoke-ree campus.

Ola Faucher, KU Human Re-sources director and chair othe obacco Free KU SteeringCommittee, said the survey re-sults spurred support or a tobac-co-ree campus.

“At this time, there did seemto be interest in having a tobac-co-ree campus policy in place,"Faucher said. "[Te petition is]what started it."

In 2015, the University drafeda proposal to ban the use o to-bacco and electronic cigaretteson campus. Tis policy would

apply to aculty, staff, studentsand visitors. Te ban on tobac-co would apply to the Lawrenceand Edwards campuses. Tisincludes the Kansas and BurgeUnions, athletic acilities and re-search acilities.

Te drafed policy lays out rea-soning behind the need or a to-bacco-ree campus:

“KU is strongly committed tosupporting individuals to be-come tobacco ree to encouragea respectul, healthier, and moreproductive learning/living en-

vironment or all members oour campus community. Stud-ies, many conducted by our KUcolleagues, have proven timeand again that tobacco is a lead-ing cause o death rom manydiseases, both or those who usetobacco products and those whoare exposed to them on a secondor third-hand basis.”

Tis Parks and Recreation draf

could mean a quicker start to theUniversity's projected policies aswell, Faucher said. Te draf is upor discussion at the LawrenceParks and Recreation Decembermeeting.

“Activity in the community issupportive o our efforts," Fau-cher said. "I Parks and Rec con-

tinues on with this draf, then wecan point to the community andsay, ‘See, even the community ismaking progress.' We can part-ner with them and do the same."

Te proposed tobacco-reeUniversity policy would go intoeffect on July 1, 2016. However,Faucher said it may be more like-ly to happen sometime in 2017.

“Campus’ transition to tobaccoree really is a cultural changeand really does take some time,”Faucher said.

Tings like unding or signs,cultural change and the enorce-ment o the policies are obstaclesassociated with getting the Uni-

versity draf passed, Faucher said.Both Bryan and Faucher said

the want or the University tobecome a tobacco-ree campusis shown in the 2013 survey andsupport rom the community.

“You don’t go to high schooland see people using tobacco,"

Bryan said. "Tese ages — highschool to college — are whenpeople are most vulnerable to be-coming tobacco users."

A new Lawrence Parks and Recreation policy could limit

smoking in public parks.

Watkins Health Servicesopened its first-ever Faculty andStaff Immediate Care Clinicyesterday in hopes o improvingrevenue.

Te clinic, converted rom asports medicine wing, is locat-ed on the second floor o Wat-kins and will be open Mondaythrough Friday rom 8 a.m. to 5p.m.

Chie o Staff Dr. Douglas De-chairo said the idea or the clinicwas ormed ollowing a signifi-cant decrease in ee-or-servicerevenue, services that patientspay or out-o-pocket as opposedto insurance being billed.

Te ee-or-service model aimsto increase revenue by encourag-ing aculty patients to use otherservices at Watkins or theirtreatments, such as X-Rays, thepharmacy or lab testing.

“I we have more aculty and

staff members coming throughand needing services such as pre-scriptions or labs, they are morelikely to get them done here in-stead o going somewhere elsebecause it’s one-stop-shop,” De-chairo said. “We’ll be able to takethat revenue we make rom theaculty and staff and give extrabenefits to students. Te wholepurpose o creating a ee-or-ser-

vice model here is to help benefitstudents.”

When planning the clinic, Wat-

kins administered a survey toaculty and staff. According tothe results, aculty wanted urgentcare services most, as opposed toservices or their spouses or de-pendents.

While the new clinic is speci-ically or staff and aculty to betreated, Dechairo said it benefitsthe University as a whole.

“It’s a benefit to aculty and staffmembers to be able to be at work,get sick, come down here and beseen and get treated on the same

day,” Dechairo said. “We, in somerespects, support the Universityby giving a certain percentage oee or service dollars back [to the

University]. Tis is a win or ev-erybody, but the main reason orwhy we did this is or students.”

On June 26, the U.S.Supreme Court ruled thatsame-sex couples have theright to marry throughoutthe country. Seeing all of therainbow flags and Face-book filters, many people

might assume the battle forLGBTQ+ equality had beenwon. However, discrimina-tion of LGBTQ+ people is acontinuing issue.

When the former KansasGov. Kathleen Sebelius is-sued the anti-discriminationrules in 2007, 25,000 of the

41,000 state employees wereinstantly affected becausethey identified as LGBTQ+.However, current Kan-sas Gov. Sam Brownbackrescinded anti-discrimi-nation rules that protectedLGBTQ+ state workers fromdiscrimination on Feb. 10.This decision made it legalto fire state employees ordeny someone a state jobbased on their sexual orien-tation or gender identity.

Because there are nofederal laws restrictingLGBTQ+ discrimination inthe workplace, state govern-ments can decide whether toimplement protections for

LGBTQ+ workers. Accord-ing to the American CivilLiberties Union, 28 statescurrently have no such pro-tections for these people.

The prevalence of legalworkplace discriminationtoward LGBTQ+ employ-ees means it is harder forLGBTQ+ people to finda job in certain areas ifthey are open about theirsexual orientation or genderidentity. People should nothave to hide their identityin order to keep a job; theyshould be able to expressthemselves without fear ofpunishment.

Individuals who identi-

fy within LGBTQ+ facehigher levels of bullyingand harassment. In a surveyconducted by the Gay, Les-bian and Straight EducationNetwork in 2014, 65 percentof LGBT middle and highschool students said they“heard homophobic re-marks” on a regular basis.

Thirty-three percent ofthese students reported be-ing “pushed or shoved” fortheir sexual orientation and23 percent for their genderidentity.

Schools are often regardedas safe havens for youngpeople; however, with suchhigh levels of hostility

toward LGBTQ+ students,schools cannot truly be safeenvironments.

As a society, we must striveto improve the acceptanceof LGBTQ+ people andeliminate laws that under-mine their ability to livewell. It is important that wecontinue to advocate forthese people by speakingout against the social andsystemic discrimination thatstill exists. The legalizationof same-sex marriage is astep, but it is far from thefinish line.

Black Friday has made people less thankful and

more materialistic during Thanksgiving holidayJESSICA GOMEZ@jessicataylurr

Thanksgiving break isabout being with family andloved ones. It’s the time togo home for the week, watchfootball with grandparentswhile the turkey is in theoven and eat the feast yourfamily cooked. It’s an oppor-tunity to be thankful for thepeople in your life and theopportunities you have beengiven.

But in recent years,Thanksgiving Day is now anopportunity to go shoppingto buy more things insteadof focusing on being thank-ful for what you have.

A few years ago, BlackFriday typically started earlyon Friday morning afterThanksgiving. Shopperswould wake up at 4 a.m. tobe at the mall right beforethe doors opened to grabChristmas gifts to put underthe tree, which some fam-ilies had put up the nightbefore.

Fast forward to presentday: Black Friday startson Thursday night, whichpromotes commercialism

and materialistic viewsrather than gratefulness. Itcuts into quality time withfamilies and instead fills itwith the myth that you do,in fact, need more stuff.

Not only that, but someworkers must leave theirfamilies to serve the public's"needs" in exchange forgetting paid more than theirhourly wage. While thismay seem like a employee'schoice, many need the extraincome to stay afloat forthe upcoming Christmasseason.

Black Friday has beenknown to also bring out theworst in people who maybedidn't get the bargain they

were hunting for. Everyyear, there are stories ofpeople going to extremes toget the products that they"must have." There haveeven been reports of deaths

and injuries as people pushone another to get to thedoorbusters first. Incidentslike these promote the ideathat things are more valuedthan people.

We have evolved into asociety which needs morethings all the t ime, althoughmany of us have everythingwe need to survive and behappy. Society has slippedinto a materialistic cycle ofconstantly needing moreitems to feel adequately up

to status — so much to theextent that we can no longergive ourselves one full dayto be thankful for the itemswe do have.

Because of this material-

istic outlook on life, peoplehave to sacrifice theirThanksgiving to let othershave shopping extravagan-zas. The deals — which arereally just repeats of onesin previous years — couldbe worth it to someone, butthese deals shouldn't comeat the price of a wholesomeholiday.

Universities around thecountry are making severalattempts at properly han-dling and eliminating sexualassault on college campus-es. But some of the plansbrought forth are doing theopposite.

Requiring students to takeonline courses or quizzes onsexual harassment preven-tion does not help stop

rape culture. In fact, thesecourses twist the concept ofsexual assault into a home-work assignment, somethingthat is a hassle and can becompleted without evenfully reading a sentence.

In October, students atthe University received aBlackboard notification andan email which detailed amandatory sexual violence/sexual harassment preven-tion training. The training

program can be found oneach student’s Blackboardsite under the “courses”tab that contains the otherclasses that student is en-rolled in.

The course contains vide os, resou rces, defi ni-tions and other pieces ofinformation. However, theonly thing that is requiredfor each student to completethe training is a 10-questionquiz.

Not only have the majorityof students taken quizzes

on things like deceased phi-losophers longer than thisquiz on sexual harassmentprevention, but these stu-dents also don't even needto receive a perfect scoreon the quiz to complete thetraining.

Rape culture is not some-thing that can be condensedto 10 multiple-choice ques-tions. If the problem were sosimple, it would have been

solved by now.The questions are over-

simplified, such as this one:“Dan and Mateo are at aparty. Dan sees Zoe, a girlhe would like to sleep with,so Mateo puts a roofie, ordate-rape drug, in her drinkwhile Dan watches. Danthen takes Zoe home andis aware that she is not surewhat is going on or who sheis with. Dan has sex withher when he gets home,despite her clearly impairedstate. Who in this situa-

tion has done somethingwrong?”

These questions do nothelp individuals to betterunderstand sexual assault. Ifanything, it's insulting.

A majority of college stu-dents have had the facts, thestatistics and the strategiesto stay safe shoved in theirface repeatedly. Threaten-ing to put a hold on theirenrollment if they do not

complete the quiz turns theeducation and awareness ofrape culture into a chore.

The Office of InstitutionalOpportunity and Access'mandated sexual harass-ment prevention course islocated in the same columnas the other quizzes andhomework assignments forstudents’ actual courses.This gives the impressionthat sexual harassment andawareness is just anotherthing that students need tocomplete to stay in good

standing at the University,like getting good grades.This course does not askthe hard questions, it doesnot place an importanceon in-depth knowledge ofsexual assault, and it is notenough to make a change inthe culture.

Eucation on sexual assaultshould not be made tobe viewed as a hassle. Itshould not be something

that students have to learn,but want to learn. Insteadof asking questions thatultimately won't changesomeone's behavior or evenmatter to them, such as,“What is one serving ofalcohol?” the course shouldpresent individuals withquestions that make themtruly understand the effectsof sexual assault and thedamage it can cause.

For instance: Who makesup the largest population inthe nation that suffers from

PTSD? The answer? Rapesurvivors.

Sexual assault is not achore. It is not a joke. It isnot something that shouldbe ignored. Therefore,sexual assault and harass-ment prevention trainingshould not be formattedlike a chore. It should notbe treated like a joke. Andit should not be made easilyignorable.

For Leigh Kaulbach, a Stan-ord graduate rom NewHampshire and current grad-uate student at the University,the product o her art is ren-dered through various medi-ums like painting, printmak-ing and zines.

Kaulbach’s zines are mostcommonly a small circulationo sel-published works that

eature original or appropriat-ed texts and images. Afer shehas her subject matter or herzines on paper, she photocop-ies them and adds various col-ors. Afer selecting the color opaper, Kaulbach careully oldsand cuts the paper into a littlebooklet. resulting in a com-pleted zine.

Although Kaulbach grew uparound art doing paintingsand taking classes, she attend-ed Stanord and studied reli-gion.

“I did my thesis at Stanordon iconography o the Virgin

Mary and specifically con-temporary interpretationsand representations that weremeant to subvert gender exclu-sion in the Catholic Church,”Kaulbach said.

Kaulbach said she was in-terested in the aestheticso religion and the effect ospace, art, literature, musicand architecture on the reli-gious experience. She said thatstudying that topic got her in-terested in the social power oart. Ten, she took some print-making classes in her senior

year. Kaulbach said she thinksprintmaking is the most politi-cal artistic medium.

“Te book and disseminatingideas and maniestos and pro-paganda is really tied to print,and also that can be done orsocial change,” Kaulbach said.

She said that introduced herto and grew her interest inmaking zines, or mini maga-zines filled with art, literatureor what the “publisher” or art-ist wants to include.

Zines are “a noncommercialofen homemade or onlinepublication usually devoted to

specialized and ofen uncon- ventional subject matter,” ac-cording to the Merriam Web-ster dictionary.

“I think [zines are] a reallyamazing way to put your ideasout there, and putting yourideas out. It kind o orces youto have ideas in the first place,”Kaulbach said. “So I was in-terested in transplanting theicon with kind o that internalstruggle o growing up.”

Kaulbach wrote comingo age stories in these zines,which most o her work has in-cluded in the past six months.

She translates the emale expe-rience and youth perceptionso maturity, antasy and inti-

macy in her work. Te emalefigure is a common theme inKaulbach’s paintings, but shehighlights the uninhibited e-male figure.

“I like to draw, like, reallyhairy women just because Ithink it’s more interesting andmore un, and I think that thebody can be both a site o dis-sent and pleasure at the sametime,” she said.

Kaulbach decided to doher graduate studies at the

University because o thestudio-heavy ocus and op-portunities to gain teachingexperience.

“I wanted to go to a place[....] where I knew I would justmake work and learn skills andget that sort o studio handson technical guidance,” shesaid. “I also want to be a teach-er, and this program has twoyears o teaching experience,which I knew would be real-ly good or me and also I justreally love the aculty work —especially in printmaking.”

Kaulbach’s biggest inspira-

tion with her current workis illustrating an alternativecomic book.

“Comic books and illustra-tions are totally written off infine art, and, by the majorityo society, people think it’s orkids and silly,” Kaulbach said.“I think it’s an incredible artorm. Sometimes the draw-ing is amazing and peopleare doing really amazinginventive things.”

She said she’s been try-ing to ollow the art ormound in comics more andcreate art that is more ac-

cessible to her viewers orreaders.

“I’m interested in art thatanyone can look at and getsomething out o,” Kaulbachsaid. “So I’m trying to be moreengaged in color and shapeand line and like energy.”

She said her dad, who diddrawings as a hobby, aswell as her riends andmusic have had aninfluence in her art.Tey inspire her tobe more adventur-ous in visual art,

she said.“My dad hasalways beensuper sup-portive, andhe’s a reallygreat artist.He’s moreo a hob-byist, buthis work isa m a z i n g ,and he’salways en-c o u r a g e dme andpushed me

to explorethe limits,”K a u l b a c h

said.Te artist also said she hopes

to do more collaborative workat the University.

“I’m really just excited tobe here because there are somany amazing artists and I re-ally like that,” she said. “I justwant to go more illustrative. Ieel I’ve gotten support here,which I didn’t expect so that’sbeen really un.”

Kaulbach’s biggest piece oadvice to hopeul artists or

new artists is to have a goodwork ethic.“You can be the most tal-

ented person but i you can’tdeliver finished work then it’snever really going to add up,”Kaulbach said, “I’m kind o ascatter-brained person and Ithink that’s the biggest chal-lenge or me and others is set-ting a schedule and stickingto it and churning things out,[and] taking risks.”

Every month, Lowkey Listens showcases five tracks to listen to from

five different artists. For December, read about Ashley Koett, JadenSmith, Joey Purp, Tru and more.

LOWKEY LISTENSCHRISTIAN HARDY@ByHardy

“Te Weather” is my avorite track o Golden’s album,“Gone Girl Wild,” which is completely produced by theHELLA collective rontman Dylan Brady. Tis trackdoesn’t have a strong hip-hop influence, but has a real

vintage sound with Brady’s guitar riffs, especially with thedistortion on the hooks, but still maintains a heavy popinfluence, which is Golden’s staple. Te song, as well as thealbum as a whole, is ull o down-to-earth lyrics. You canbuy the track on her Bandcamp account.

Best line: “I wish that I could be a little bit stronger / Iwish that I could have a little bit longer”

Ravenna Golden — “The Weather”

By now, you probably know how I eel about stringsbeing heavily eatured in songs: I love it. I only assumethat Koett — who has various acoustic covers on You-ube — is playing the strings, which is a airly consistent,dreamy riff. Tis is the first thing she has released via herSoundCloud, and it’s much higher quality than her orig-inal work on Youube. On this track, we get the entiresound o her voice, which sounds hesitant, but also sofand soothing.

Best line: “Why does poison always taste so damngood? / Why wasn’t I able to see that there was a red fireburning inside o me?”

Ashley Koett — “white and red”

I’m not a huge an o ru’s voice, but he has nice bars andand he fits incredibly well on this beat, produced by Sumotal. Te instrumental bangs, with multiple ebbs, flowsand gaps in the beat. It’s extremely intricate and is enjoy-able to listen to. Beore the massive beat change aroundtwo minutes in, ru’s rhymes and Sum otal’s instrumen-tal go together like peanut butter and jelly. At 53 seconds,there’s some shuffling around, and at the other end o the

transition is the best line o the song.

Best line: “Oh my god, way I spit got ‘em asking what I’mon / Oh my god, way I spit, they just call me Jack Frost”

Tru — “Jack Frost”ypical Banks here, which is honestly a bit disappoint-

ing. I’d really like to see her develop and step outside oher comort zone, yet she continues to use long-winded,drawn out vocals which, at the end o the day, are boring.I you’re a Banks an, like I am, you’ll enjoy the track, butthere comes a point where she needs to do more. Tat’swhere she’s at.

BANKS — “Better”

Purp has been dropping quite a bit o music this year, butthis is the first time I’ve really enjoyed what he’s dropped:a prequel to his upcoming album, “iiiiiDrops.” Te Chica-go rapper comes together with producer Dimeji Faluyi onthe electronic-heavy track. Tat said, Purp’s voice takescommand on this track, especially through the verses.Te production or rapping isn’t anything particularly spe-cial, but the two fit together perectly, and the transitionto the hook to the second verse is quite enticing.

Best line: “Okay, these labels try to sign me or an armand a leg / Tey could have my whole body, I would stillbe ahead”

Joey Purp — “Run It Up”

Jaden Smith — “Erewhon”

Tis song doesn’t have a title yet since it was ripped rom1234 Radio (which was also reerenced in last month’sLowkey Listens). Look, I’m biased because I’m a hugeJaden Smith an — I think he’s brilliant and doesn’t getenough credit or his knowledge and creativity at only17 years old, regardless o some o his silly tweets a ewyears ago. Tis track, which was produced by 1234’s Dan-iel D’artiste, is super wavy, with constant ups and downsthroughout. Smith really owns the mic in his second verseat about 1:38. Despite the couple o “1234” drops thatcome in, he completely destroys it.

Best line: “Hanging out with the weirdest people / Meand you look like we belong / bae, we’re amigos.”

Column: It’s OK, you don’t have to hate Bieber anymoreCHRISTIAN HARDY@ByHardy

I’m not really sure how I eelabout Justin Bieber. A year ago— maybe even a ew months

ago — there were probablytwo whole people in the entireworld I hated more than him.

OK, so two isn't a reallyaccurate number, but I'dimagine it was somewherearound two people.

But it was only a ew monthsago when it was cool to dislikeJustin Bieber. His anbase,mostly consisting o 12– to15-year-old girls, unortu-nately, grew up. He was losinghis Disneylike charm withhis multiple run-ins with thelaw. He was arrested once,

according to MZ, or drivingunder the influence o alcohol,marijuana and prescriptiondrugs — the triple crown —another time or vandalism,and one last time or assaultand dangerous driving, whenhe wrecked his AV.

In 2014, the old Justin Bieber— you know, the one withthe floppy hair that teenagegirls loved — ended. Andthen “bad boy” Justin Biebertook over or less than a year,luckily or him. Afer that, hewas at the brink o his careerand had a decision to make:

continue down the path hewas on or change.

Now he’s at the end o aone-year rebranding cycle onthe back o his new album,“Purpose." And in many

ways, it kind o, sort o, reallyworked or me and or the resto America.

I still don’t love the music— pop doesn’t really suit me,save or a song here and there.I regularly listen to “WhereAre U Now," the crossovertrack with EDM superstarsSkrillex and Diplo, “Sorry,"the light, glassy-pop single,and the rather calming “LoveYoursel."

wo o those three songs aretwo o the top three songs oniunes right now, while theregular and deluxe versions

o the album are also two andthree, sitting just behind Adelein both categories.

But with Bieber, his matura-tion in his music is definitelyreal, and I acknowledge it. It’simpressive in its own right,though it took an entire shifin production more than Bie-ber’s talent evolving itsel. It’sthe public relations work thathas interested me in Biebermore than anything.

In 2015, only good thingshave come rom the JustinBieber corner. In early Jan-

uary he was named the ace

o Calvin Klein underwear,the same position that MarkWahlberg was in the middleo his rebrand in 1992. Tencame his cameo on “Te EllenShow” in late January, whenhe brought her flowers andgifs, then he later released asof-spoken video on Face-book.

“I was araid o what people

are thinkin about me” Bieber

said. “I didn’t want to comeoff arrogant or conceited, orbasically how I’ve been actingthe past year, year and a hal.I’m not who I was pretendingto be.”

Te video could not havebeen more obviously choppedup — a lot o public relationswork — but it also kind ostruck a chord with me, just

as it robabl did the other

five million people who sawit rom his Facebook page,in addition to those who sawit elsewhere. Ten he slowlyreleased new music until“Purpose,” which is toppingcharts.

So, yeah, I like Justin Biebera little bit, OK?

With sleeves o tattoos anda reckless attitude, he isn’t

necessaril oin to be able to

ever turn himsel around likeWahlberg. And he’s never go-ing to be America’s sweetheartlike Justin imberlake. Butthe ugly phase o his careeris obviously behind him, andwith every enjoyable song hereleases my respect or himwill go a tick up.

And that’s kind o nice. Iguess I only hate two people

now

BABY JAY BEGINS

USC

Looking at the first round othe NCAA Women’s Volleyballournament, it’s difficult to pin-point exactly which o the 64teams will lose at a specific time.For the Jayhawks, who garneredthe No. 9 seed, their regular sea-son record o 26-2 puts them ina good position to go ar downthe road. However, it is likely theroad will be bumpy in the quar-terfinals.

I the Jayhawks were to pushpast Furman and the winner othe Missouri vs. Missouri Statematch, they would most likely beput up against the University oSouthern Caliornia rojans.

Te path or USC isn't a cake-walk. Te USC volleyball team,which is currently ranked at No.

1, must push past the Univer-sity o North Carolina — whoknocked the rojans out in thesecond round last year — as wellas the University o San Diegooreros to make it into the quar-terfinals.

Based upon this season’s per-ormance, it seems that USC

could go all the way in this tour-nament. Te rojans (30-2) notonly had a near perect seasonbut are 43-12 in NCAA tour-nament matches under currentcoach Mick Haley.

USC recently capped off its regular season with a 3-0sweep o University o Calior-nia-Berkeley as they claimed the2015 Pac-12 Women’s VolleyballChampionship. Tis was therojans’ eighth overall coner-ence championship and theirfifh Pac-12 crown.

With the talent o outgoing

seniors Samantha Bricio, Ali-cia Ogoms and Eve Ettinger,the rojans have a strong set oplayers lined up. Bricio has over2,000 kills and was named theESPN Women's Volleyball Na-tional Player o the Year and wasalso chosen as the Pac-12 Play-er o the Year earlier this week.

Ogoms, along with reshmanoutside hitter Alyse Ford andsophomore outside hitter Brit-tany Abercrombie, have pow-ered the rojans all season longand will continue to do so in thepostseason.

Overall, the rojans have won 6national championships and are73-29 in the NCAA tournament,making 24 consecutive appear-ances in NCAA tournaments. Itwould not be a surprise or themto knock the Jayhawks out andmove on to the semi-finals.

CLAUDIA CLOSE@ClaudiaHealy

Stanford

Afer a stellar season or theKansas women’s volleyball teamthat saw them finish 26-2, theJayhawks will make an appear-ance in the NCAA Women’sVolleyball Championship as theninth seed — which equates tothe top three seed in the perhapsmore amiliar men's and wom-en's basketball tournament.

Lawrence will host the firsttwo rounds o the tournament,which bodes well or Kansas.Te Jayhawks went 14-1 in theHorejsi Family Athletics Centerthis season. Having the homecourt advantage should helpthem cruise past inerior oppo-nents Furman and the winner oMissouri and Missouri State.

Kansas deeated Missouri State

(24-10) three sets to none Sept.19. Te Missouri igers (26-5)pose a bigger threat, as they areled by junior Carly Lan and her535 points on the season. Teigers arguably have a more bal-anced offensive attack than theJayhawks, but a stronger deenseand the advantage o home court

should help the Jayhawks prevailin that potential matchup.

I they advance, the thirdround is where the Jayhawkscould experience issues. Teywould travel to San Diego andmost likely have to ace No. 8Stanord.

Te Cardinal (22-6) has oundsuccess this season in a consider-ably tough schedule. Tey playeda op-25 opponent 12 times overthe course o the season and woneight o those matches.

Stanord is led by its rising starand Pac-12 Freshman o the Year

Hayley Hodson, who average3.85 kills per set. Hodson, whois 6-oot-3, can create a num-ber o problems deensively othe Jayhawks with her physicarame. Additionally, the team iled by senior Brittany Howard,who has been a key piece to thoffensive attack or the Cardina

during her our seasons with thteam.

Te Cardinal has played igrind-out matches all season, sothe task o possibly deeating thJayhawks isn’t out o their realm.

I the Jayhawks and the Cardi-nal eventually meet in the thirround o the tournament, expectHodson’s size and Howard’s ex-perience to lead the charge in

victory.

Te day Kansas big manCheick Diallo had been wait-ing or was finally here. It hadbeen 21 days since the Jay-hawks played their first offi-

cial game and ar longer sincethe team was eatured in theWorld University Games thissummer in South Korea. Forall o it, Diallo was sidelinedbecause o an investigationinto his eligibility.Game afer game he waited

to play, until his day finallyarrived, but even on that day,

he’d have to do a little morewaiting.

It wasn’t until the 12 :57 markin the first hal that Kansascoach Bill Sel finally put inhis top rated reshman, whoagonized over each o the

423 seconds that came off theclock beore he made his de-but.“I was so scared and nervous

at the same time,” Diallo said.“[Last night] I was thinkingabout this game — what I wasgoing to do … I was waitingor this game or so long.”As Diallo walked to the

scorers table to check in, thecrowd o 16,300 let out a col-lective roar, the likes o whichhad not been heard in AllenFieldhouse since last season.Chants o “Cheick Diallo”

broke out across the crowd,quieting down only when

play resumed andresuracing at thenext dead ball. Itwas almost as i— alongside Di-allo — the Kansascrowd was letting

out its collectiverustrations withthe entire processthat had held himout or nearly amonth, as a rau-cous, rabid elec-tricity filled theair.“Te atmosphere

was just toughto prepare or,”Loyola (Md.)coach OrlandoSmith said aferthe game. “Ourguys have been

to Syracuse be-ore; we’ve beento West Virgin-ia; we’ve been to

Duke … but this place is justreally, really special.”Tat atmosphere led to some

nerves or Diallo. Playing inhis first game at the colle-giate level, Diallo dribbled off his oot a couple o times; hewhiffed on a couple o blocksbeore finally connecting onone — the lone highlight ohis five minutes and 28 sec-onds o playing time in thefirst hal.“At the beginning o the game

I don’t know what I was do-ing,” Diallo said. “I turned theball over so easily.”However, as the game went

on, things slowed down orDiallo, who was able to showflashes o the talent that hasexcited many around thecountry.“When he first got out there,

he had jitters,” senior orward

Perry Ellis said. “But once hegot in the flow o the game hewas fine. I think that’s the keything — just getting up anddown [the court] a couple otimes.”In the second hal, Diallo

quickly went to work, slam-ming the ball home off a be-hind-the-back pass rom ju-nior guard Wayne Selden Jr.With the proverbial seal on

the basket broken, Diallopoured in 13 points over thelast 15 minutes o the game,none off which were more em-pathic than his “hand behind

the head” tomahawk slamwith five minutes to go.“Yeah I thought that was

cute,” Sel said with a smile.

“I told him afer, ‘Cheick, wedon’t do that.’”And the dunk didn't just

catch Sel off guard, it evensurprised some o Diallo'steammates.“I didn’t see it coming; I didn’t

know what to expect,” Seldenadded. “I’m just glad he madeit because when a reshmangets on a ast break, you neverknow what can happen.”However, Diallo was a little

more confident in his abili-ty to finish the play, notingit wasn’t the first time he hadpulled off that specific dunkbeore.“I used to do that at my high

school,” Diallo said. “At theJordan Brand Classic, I did ittoo.”Te reshman finished the

game with 13 points, six re-bounds and three blocks, as

the Jayhawks went on to winby 33.But there was one number

that stood out more than theothers: 16 — the number ominutes Diallo played in thegame, and, in a greater sense,the number o minutes he hehas now played in his collegebasketball career.And afer playing in his first

game, Diallo noted he had onething lef to do beore the ex-perience was complete.“onight was the [night]. I

had to prove to everybody Icould play,” Diallo said. "Now,

I'm so excited ... I can't wait tocall my dad tomorrow."

Jayhawks are 5-1 and av-

eraging 93.5 points per

game. Harvard comes in

with a record of 2-4 on the

points per contest. Kansas

should have no problem

BY THE NUMBERS

BASKETBALL GAMEDAYSHANE JACKSON@jacksonshane3

PROJECTED STARTERS PROJECTED STARTERS

?

Cheick Diallo

freshman, center

Diallo did not disappoint in

his highly-anticipated de-

but. In his first collegiate

action, the freshman for-

ward scored 13 points and

grabbed six rebounds. He

also blocked three shots in

16 minutes played. His de-

but featured a few thunder-

ous dunks that displayed

some of his potential. If Dial-

lo can be a factor as a fresh-

man, Kansas is going to be

an imposing challenge for

any team in the country.

For a bunch of smart kids,

Harvard seems to struggle

with the game’s easiest shot:

a free throw. Half of the team’s

players who have recorded a

free throw attempt are at or

below 50 percent while half

of the team seems complete

averse to getting to the line.

Additionally, playing with-

out its best player in senior

guard Siyani Chambers, who

tore his ACL back at the end

of August, the team doesn’t

quite have the depth or tal-

ent that it would’ve in what

should be a fairly comfort-

able win for Kansas.

Corbin Miller junior, guard

Miller has only played in two

seasons but is technically a

junior as Harvard does not

allow students to redshirt.

Regardless, he’s shooting

close to 40 percent from

three this season and even

launched 12 threes in a

game against UMass. He

had two poor performanc-

es in two of the team’s first

three losses and needs to

be much better if the team

is going to upset Kansas.

How can theCrimson keep up

with the Jayhawkson offense?

Short answer: They can’t.

The team doesn’t score

all that much, and when

they do, it’s wildly ineffi-

cient scoring. In order for

Harvard to win, it’s going

to have to make everypossession count, which

seems less than likely.

3.8Blocks per game for Kansas

thus far. Look for that numberto rise as Diallo recorded three

blocks in his first game.

23.5The Jayhawks’ scoring margin

this year through six games.

45.7Field goal percentage from

beyond the arc. Kansas is aver-

aging 9.8 made three-pointers

a game.

Harvard rises to the occa-

sion and knocks down a

bunch of free throws and

three-pointers while Kan-

sas struggles again. McCa-

rthy needs to be especially

efficient if the Crimson are

going to have a shot.

— Edited by Dani Malako

Kansas can play much bet-

ter in the first half than it

did Tuesday. The Jayhawks

struggled big with the Maui

hangover. Now, with a few

more days to adjust, Kansas

should be able to handle an

inferior team like Harvard

for two halves on Saturday.

If the Jayhawks can do that,

they should be able to run

away with this one.

How will Self

manage his front

court?

With Diallo now in action,

the Jayhawks have six

posts that will fight for min-

utes this season. Self hasn’t

been known for spreading

out his minutes between his

big men. In 2008, Kansas’

fourth best big man Cole

Aldrich averaged around

eight minutes a game. Ju-nior Landen Lucas was out

Tuesday, but the fifth big

man in terms of minutes in

the blowout was freshman

Carlton Bragg Jr.

Tommy McCarthy, freshman, guard

Through six games, McCarthy is averaging over

10 shots per contest, yet he’s shooting worse

than 27 percent from the floor. On the season,

he’s posting a 1.1:1 assist to turnover ratio and has

twice as many fouls as steals and blocks com-

bined, a mark that is certainly far from good.

★★✩✩✩

Zena Edosomwan, junior, Center

Edosmwan is averaging a double-double

on the season and would probably be rated

even higher than three stars, but he’s lacking

in two key areas: rim protection and free-

throw shooting. At 45.5 percent from the line

through six games, the Jayhawks should ab-

solutely foul him whenever he gets down low

and force him to make shots at the line.

★★★✩✩

Corey Johnson, freshman, guard

Johnson has no problem firing away from dis-

tance. He posted 17 three-point attempts in the

team’s second and third games and has shot at

least five threes in all but one of the team’s first

six games. Because of his propensity to stay be-

hind the arc, he almost never gets to the line,

which seems to be a common thread for the

Crimson.

★★★✩✩

Agunwa Okolie, senior, forward

In his second year of significant playing time —

and fourth year at the University overall — Oko-

lie has done a bit of everything, averaging right

around six points, four rebounds, two assists,

one block and one steal per game through

six contests. He’s on pace to shoot around 24

threes this year, which would be over 10 greater

than the total he recorded in his first three years

combined.

★★✩✩✩

Evan Cummins, senior, forward

Cummins has seen his role on the Crimson in-

crease each year and has probably made his

biggest leap this season. Through six games,he’s averaging around six points and seven re-

bounds per game, shooting over 60 percent

from the floor, although he struggles mightily

at the line.

★★✩✩✩

Jamari Traylor, senior, forward

After Tuesday’s win against Loyola, coach Bill

Self said Traylor was the best player in the

game. The senior forward scored just two

points and grabbed six rebounds in 14 min-

utes on the floor. However, Self noted his high

energy and motor fueled a big run to begin

the second half. Traylor may not stuff the stat

sheets, but his play on the court is beneficial

for the Jayhawks.

★★★✩✩

Perry Ellis, senior, power forward

Ellis is known for scoring a quiet 15 points a

game. He’s done just that through the early

part of his senior campaign. Ellis is averaging15.3 points per contest on 53 percent shooting

from the floor. The senior is also doing a fair job

on the glass with six rebounds a contest. The

Jayhawks are going to need this level of effi-

ciency from Ellis throughout the year.

★★★★★

Wayne Selden Jr., junior, guard

The emergence of Selden has made Kansas a

dominant team. Since moving from two guard

to the three guard, Selden has been more ag-

gressive of finding ways to score the basket-

ball. He’s leading the team in 17.2 points per

game, shooting 55 percent from the floor. He’s

even better beyond the arc, with a mark of 57

percent from downtown.

★★★★★

Frank Mason III, junior, guard

Mason has sort of flown under the radar with

the emergence of Selden early in the season.

Still, the junior guard is averaging 12.5 points per

game, good for fourth on the team. He does

lead the team in assists, with 5.7 dimes per con-

test. Selden may be emerging as the scorer, but

Mason is still the most important player on the

team with his ability to score and distribute.

★★★★★

Devonte’ Graham, sophomore, guard

Graham has been a key factor for Kansas since

being inserted in the starting lineup this year.

The sophomore is averaging 10.2 points and 3.5

assists in 29.8 minutes a game. He continues to

help Kansas play up-tempo by pushing the ball

out in transition and getting easy buckets. He

also has just five turnovers so far on the year.

★★★★ ✩

5Harvard players shooting 50

percent or worse from the line

coming in to the team’s con-

test against Northeastern.

5Harvard players averaging be-tween 26 and 28 minutes pergame. The team has six players

averaging at least 24 minutes

per game and eight players

averaging double-figures in

minutes.

VS.(5-1) KANSAS JAYHAWKS HARVARD CRIMSON (2-4)

8/20/2019 12-03-2015 PDF

15/15

As the third quarter raced to aclose at Allen Fieldhouse, so didLauren Aldridge to the three-point line.

Stopping several eet awayrom the line, Aldridge sank abuzzer beater to end the quarter,which put the Kansas Jayhawksup 56-41 against the CreightonBlue Jays. Te Jayhawks won

the game, 67-54, on Wednesdaynight to improve to 4-2.“I just like the way my team-

mates responded — that was themost un part,” Aldridge said.“It’s un whenever we have mo-mentum plays like that.”

Aldridge scored a career-high18 points in the game, but that’snothing new. Aldridge set a ca-reer high with 17 points in theseason opener against exas

guard Kylee Kopatich said oAldridge’s shot. “It was just anextra boost o energy. We werealready up, we were alreadymaking plays, and that shot justsaid it all.”

With a collegiate career thatis six games old, Kopatich’s 15points on the night won’t standas a career high or long. How-ever, it was enough to power theJayhawks offense past Creigh-ton. Kopatich was 3-o-3 rombeyond the line in the game.

wo o Kopatich’s three-point-ers came in the second quarter,when the Jayhawks neededthem. Kansas ound itsel down21-10 early in the second quar-ter. Ten Kopatich and Aldridgecontributed to a 17-6 run thatbrought the score level at 27. A-ter Aldridge tied the score withtwo scores, Kopatich broughtthe Jayhawks up 30-27.

“It’ t h th

in two o its last three games.“Tey’ve got to respect Kyleeon the three point line a little bitand hug her, so it opens drivinglanes or the rest o our team.”

Although Kansas only needed

o a 19-point comeback, but ellshort.

“We’ve shown that we have theability to come back because Ithink we have some fight to us,”Kansas coach Brandon Schnei-

26 points in the third quarter toseal a blowout win. In the sec-ond hal, Kansas shot 50 percentrom the field and 50 percentrom three.

Schneider said his team’s abil-

registered our assists in thegame — her third straight gamewith three or more assists.

“I like [Aldridge] in a shootingrole with the amount o minutesshe plays it takes the pressure off

Te first six games or the Jay-hawks were different than thosein years past.

Kansas coach Bill Sel wasorced to deal with the issue oreshman big man Cheick Dial-lo’s eligibility, which caused himto miss preparation time withthe team. It seemed as thoughthe rustration o not havingDiallo ofen overshadowed the

importance o the games.Tat continued in the last

game, as the debut o Diallo wasthe top story. Against Loyola(Md.), Diallo had 13 points, sixrebounds and three blocks.

And while Saturday’s matchupagainst the Harvard Crimson ismore normal, it will also provideDiallo with another opportunityto learn on the fly.

“[Tis] really worked out wellrom a timing standpoint,” Selsaid. “I you can imagine Che-ick playing against Vanderbiltin a one-possession game, be-ing nervous and everything, itwould have been very difficultor him. Tis is the perect sce-nario or him to get out thereand get his legs underneathhim.”

Te Jayhawks have somehealth concerns with two vet-eran big men, but both are con-sidered minor. Junior orwardLanden Lucas missed uesday’sgame with a sprained toe, buthe’s expected to play on Satur-day. Senior orward Perry Ellishas been dealing with a banged-up hip, but Sel said the injurywasn’t bothering Ellis, he said it’s

getting better and “it’s no prob-

lem.”When the Jayhawks sched-

uled this game, it looked likethis could be a tricky matchupagainst a team that has had somepostseason success. Harvard hasmade the NCAA ournamenteach o the last our years, andit won two games in those ourtrips. Last year, it gave NorthCarolina a close call in a 67-65opening round loss.

But it seems unlikely that Har- vard (2-4) will give Kansas (5-1)

that same sort o fight.Beore the season began, the

Crimson lost senior SiyaniChambers to an ACL tear. Headcoach ommy Amaker told thestudent newspaper that Cham-bers had been the team’s “mostimportant player” over the lastthree years.

Although it’s clear the Harvardis still trying to figure things outwithout Chambers, it has man-aged to play competitive gameswith Providence, Massachusettsand Boston College in his ab-sence.

But it doesn’t seem likely the

Jayhawks will get a stiff test inAllen Fieldhouse, which shouldprovide Diallo with another op-portunity to figure things outbeore Big 12 play.

But perhaps even more im-portant than what Diallo can door the Jayhawks is what juniorguard Wayne Selden Jr. is al-ready doing.

Jayhawk fans had to loveseeing Cheick Diallo lastnight. Finally free. More im-portant to KU’s title hopesis emergence of WayneSelden.

— @franfraschilla

Trough the Jayhawks’ first sixgames, Selden is averaging 17.2points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 as-sists per game, which are all ca-reer highs. He’s shooting 20-o-35 rom three so ar this season— 57.1 percent — which is byar the best he’s shot at Kansas.Last season, it was Jan. 10 beoreSelden had knocked down 20three-pointers.

“He’s just playing with so muchconfidence, just believing in

himsel and in the system, and itshows,” Ellis said. “He’s just outthere having un and playingbasketball, and good things arehappening or him.”

Although the Jayhawks haveshot a respectable 54 percentrom inside the arc this season,finishing around the rim hasbeen one o their biggest prob-lems. Tey struggled in the sec-ond hal against Michigan Stateand the first hal against Van-derbilt and Loyola (Md.), andmissed layups were a commontheme all three times.

“It’s a mental thing,” Ellis said.

“Maybe we’re just not ocus-ing on it enough. Maybe we’retaking it or granted. You reallyhave to jump into each o thoseshots to knock those down. ButI think it’s something we’ll getgood at.”

Te Jayhawks will have achance to correct those issuesaround the basket against theCrimson, which doesn’t haveanybody in their regular rota-tion taller than 6-oot-9.

But similar to uesday, the fi-nal score isn’t the biggest thingto keep an eye on. Te Jayhawks

shouldn’t have much o a prob-lem with the Crimson at home.

Te play o Diallo and Selden,

along with finishing around the

rim, will go a long way in deter-

mining i Saturday’s game can

be called a success, regardless o

what the final score is.
