PRESEASON OUTLOOK:
Many of the preseason mags picked KU No.1, with four starters returning,
including arguably the best backcourt in the country. Senior guards Adonis
Jordan and Rex Walters were the leading scorers on last season's team, backed up
by one of the nation's best sixth man, Steve Woodberry. Calvin Rayford,
Greg Gurley, Patrick Richey and Sean Pearson should provide strong help off the
bench.
Eric Pauley returns as the starting center and will be helped by 7'2 Greg
Ostertag, who led the team in blocked shots last season.
Richard Scott, who led the team in rebounding and shot percentage, has a lock
on the power forward position. Darrin Hancock, last year's National Juco
Player of the Year, should man the swing forward slot. Junior Patrick
Richey should bring considerable experience.

SEASON
SUMMARY:
Final
Four Capped Off Unforgettable '93 Season
From beginning to end, the 1993 season was one of the most memorable in KU
history.
There was a win over Indiana in Indianapolis; a 21-point win at Louisville to
give Kansas its 1,500th all-time victory; and a one-point win at Oklahoma State
in the regular season finale with the conference championship already in the
bag. Off the court, the Jayhawk coaches were securing one of the best recruiting
classes in school history, gaining commitments from Jacque Vaughn, Scot Pollard,
B.J. Williams and Nick Proud.
Despite a top 10 national ranking, Kansas was convinced it was an underdog in
the NCAA Tournament. CBS' Mike Francesa predicted a first-round upset by Ball
State over KU. When Kansas handily defeated the Cardinals, KU's outspoken Rex
Walters told the robust Francesa to "go eat another donut."
Kansas played the underdog role well. In the Midwest Regional, Kansas defeated
Jason Kidd and California in the semifinals. Cal freshman Jerod Haase, impressed
with the Jayhawks' unselfish play, eventually transferred to KU. In the regional
finals, the Jayhawks knocked off No. 2-ranked Indiana, earning KU its 10th Final
Four appearance.

I personally believe that, had not Ben Davis defected, he would have provided
the muscle KU needed against North Carolina, allowing KU to move into the
Championship game.
HIGHLIGHTS:
After beating Georgia in the first game of the season, #3 KU took on #2
Indiana in the Hoosier Dome and whipped the Hoosiers 74-69 in a nationally
televised game. KU lost it's first game of the season to Michigan in
the final of the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii. On Jan. 14, the Hawks trounced Oral
Roberts 140-72, the second biggest scoring margin in school history. Two
days later, they won at Louisville and grabbed the No. 1 spot in the AP poll.
Although inconsistent in February and March, the Jayhawks clinched the
conference title. After the conference tournament, where KU fell to K-State in
the second round, the Hawks finally started to play well and won four straight
in the NCAA tourney, including another win over Indiana, putting them into the
Final Four, matched against North Carolina. Although Williams won one
against his mentor, Dean Smith, in '91, it wasn't to be this year, as the
Tarheels took KU 68-78. "We've been knocking on the door,"
Williams said, "and we're going to keep knocking until we knock it
down."
