game is wearing thin.The one thing all

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Whenever Bill Self looks back at the box score from his 207th win at Allen Fieldhouse, one that made him more successful in the building than any other Kansas coach, hell see Tyler Selfs name on it.His son, a senior backup who rarely plays, knocked down his only shot in the game.Now that you mention it, its nice, Self said after the seventh-ranked Jayhawks 86-65 victory over Siena on Friday night. It was nice he got in there and made the shot.The Saints did their best to spoil the party.Marquis Wright hit three straight 3-pointers midway through the second half, and the gritty senior guards three-point play got coach Jimmy Patsos team within 63-58 with about 7 1/2 minutes left.But Lagerald Vick answered with back-to-back baskets for the Jayhawks, kicking off the game-defining 16-2 run. Frank Mason III added a 3-pointer and a couple foul shots, Devonte Graham got into the act and the Jayhawks -- so accustomed to dominating inside -- leaned on their guard play to seal the win.At one point, Mason, Vick and Graham scored 20 straight points for the Jayhawks.Theres a lot of things we could have done better, said Mason, who finished with 18 points.The Jayhawks were just 3 of 12 from beyond the arc, struggled from the foul line and were exposed on the defensive end of the floor, where Siena was able to get to the basket too easily.I didnt think we played very tough, Self said. I didnt think we played very fast. We looked slow defensively. I thought our big guys really struggled early.Graham finished with 13 points and nine assists, and Vick had 12 points off the bench, as the Jayhawks (2-1) extended their winning streak to 42 straight at Allen Fieldhouse.Wright had 25 points, Javion Ogunyemi added 19 and Khalil Richard had 10 for the Saints, who took advantage of the Jayhawks poor perimeter shooting to offset a big rebounding disparity.Theyve got depth, they have inside players. You thought you had them, then their quickness to the ball took over, said Patsos, who got a primer on playing at Allen Fieldhouse earlier Friday from former Kansas guard and current Maryland coach Mark Turgeon.He asked his wife to marry him out on the floor, Patsos said, and I said, `Yeah, you coming back to play there? And he said, `Hell no! Now I know why.EXHAUSTED JAYHAWKSThe Jayhawks opened the season with an overtime loss to Indiana in Hawaii, then beat top-ranked Duke in New York. They traveled about 12,000 miles for two games in roughly four days, and Self said he could see the weariness in his players during shoot-around.We were physically tired, Self said, and our brain told our body we were tired.BIG PICTUREKansas freshman Josh Jackson, whom many believe will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, spent most of the night in foul trouble. He was visibly frustrated and wound up with 10 points.Siena could use Lavon Long on the floor. The senior forward, who averaged more than 10 points a game last season, has been suspended for the first three games for violating team rules.RECRUITING WINFive-star prospect Billy Preston announced earlier in the day hell attend Kansas next season. The 6-foot-10 forward from prestigious Oak Hill Academy in Virginia signed his letter of intent this week.I dont think weve ever had the opportunity to coach a taller, more athletic skill player than Billy, Self said. He has guard-type athletic ability and skills.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith their win over the No. 1 Blue Devils and fourth-ranked Oregons lopsided loss to Baylor, look for the Jayhawks to climb back into the top five, where they began the season.UP NEXTKansas plays UAB in the semifinals of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Missouri on Monday night.Siena visits reigning Big South champion UNC-Asheville on Sunday.Arizona Diamondbacks Gear .

The two-time US Open finalist was one long before she ran the 2014 New York City marathon on a lark and finished in an outstanding 3:27. The 26-year-old Dane runs, runs, then runs some more, retrieving and returning shots most of her rivals in tennis can only watch fly by.Madison Keys, a gifted 21-year-old, is a different breed of player and athlete. She has more of a sprinters game, based on short bursts of brilliant shot-making with interludes of ordinary and sometimes even poor play.Here at the US Open, No. 8 Keys had tiptoed along the edge of disaster, rebounding from threatening deficits in two of her three previous matches. On Sunday, Wozniacki jogged up alongside Keys and shoved her into the abyss, winning their fourth-round clash in just an hour and 18 minutes, 6-3, 6-4.Count this one as another major step in Wozniackis comeback from an ankle injury that helped drive her ranking down to its current No. 74. Wozniacki is taking her comeback one step at a time. Like a veteran distance runner, she isnt craning her neck, trying to spot the finish line. She knows that a full-on renaissance calls for stamina and patience.To be honest, at this point, Im very much like I dont care [what my ranking is], the beaming winner said after she won. Because if Im not in the top five, I feel like its not where I want to be. So at that point, whether Im 20 in the world or 100 in the world, it doesnt matter. Im going to play the same people anyway.She also professed that she has self-belief, and said its all that matters, boldly adding, I think it just sucks for some of the other players who have to play me early.A rueful Keys agreed. Surprisingly, this was their first meeting, and it worked in Wozniackis favor: Its different playing and seeing it on TV, Keys said. [I was] feeling how deep shes hitting the ball and feeling that I cant get on the offense right away.This was the fifth consecutive major championship in which Keys, who is often touted as the heir apparent to Venus?and Serena Williams, faltered in the fourth round. But unlike a few of those losses, this was neither shocking nor complicated.Wozniacki was the year-end No. 1 for two consecutive years, starting in 2010. She is fourth among active players with 23 singles titles and owns the dubious record of having the most career singles titles without having won a Grand Slam event. But shes still just 26.The ankle injury that interrupted Wozniackis career this spring (and caused her to miss a Grand Slam tournament for the first time) provided her with an unplanned opportunity to hit the resett button.dddddddddddd Wozniacki has a reputation as the fun-loving BFF of Serena Williams, but as Wozniackis marathon adventure suggests, she has always been driven. The recent break left her feeling a little more mellow.Before it was all about, OK, I have to win this; I have to do that, Wozniacki said. Now Im like, I dont have to do anything. You know, whatever is meant to be, its going to be, and Im just going to give myself the best shot out there. And I think Im enjoying the whole atmosphere and everything else so much more.While reveling in the atmosphere, Wozniacki also provided the young American with a multidimensional lesson with one working premise: Be aggressive but keep the ball in the court. Keys has Part A down pat; its the consistency that flummoxes her.It was a very fine line between being patient, consistent and also trying to be aggressive and not step too far behind the baseline, Wozniacki said of her strategy. My main thing was to just go for my shots. Dont hold back.The barrage unnerved Keys. I feel like I was making mistakes and then getting behind in the score and trying to hit winners just to kind of quickly get back into games, she said. I dont think I played very well. I dont think I played smart, which I think is the biggest thing. I kind of let the panic set in and tried to go too quick.Keys had just one break point. Her unforced errors exceeded Wozniackis by more than a multiple of four (33-7). Keys serve is already one of the most feared weapons in tennis; it rivals Serenas own. But heres the key stat: Wozniacki put 81 percent of her serve returns into play (57 of 70). Meanwhile, Keys managed to return just 66 percent (31 of 47) of Wozniackis deliveries.True, Wozniackis serve is improved. But the theory that all Keys still needs to break through is more Grand Slam experience and a greater ability to win when she doesnt have her A-game is wearing thin.The one thing all great players bring to the table almost every day is a baseline level of consistency. Wozniacki still hasnt won a major, but she has that fundamental ability to keep the ball between the stripes. She may never have the firepower of a Keys or even a Petra Kvitova, but Woz is young enough to win a major. She may finally win one next Sunday if she can continue to successfully marry consistency and aggression.Its tempting to think that Wozniackis biggest opportunities have passed her by. But this is a woman who can run and run. Shes a marathoner. She may catch up with them yet. ' ' '
