UAB's 'hell' hath no fury

Kansas shreds press, rolls into Elite Eight

St. Louis - Alabama-Birmingham didn't exactly put Kansas University through 40 minutes of hell Friday night. It was more like 40 minutes of hilarity for the No. 4-seeded Jayhawks, who shredded UAB's vaunted press in racing to a 100-74 victory over the No. 9-seeded Blazers -- KU's most lopsided win in 23 Sweet 16 appearances. "It was like playing in the rec center -- attack, take it to the hole when you're not guarded and score," KU junior guard Keith Langford said after scoring nine points at the Edward Jones Dome. "We had a lotta, lotta easy baskets tonight." Full story.

The KU Cheerleaders

An inside look at Jayhawk spirit
