No. 2 Kansas faces Marquette in Preseason NIT semifinals

Attention at Kansas has been placed squarely on Lagerald Vick after the senior guard set career bests with 30-plus points in each of the last two games.

That does not mean, however, that the No. 2 Jayhawks are not aware of an uneven start by junior forward Dedric Lawson, a Memphis transfer with credentials that made him a preseason All-America selection.

Lawson was coming off a scoreless game against Vermont when an unusual basket got him jump-started. Seated under a basket in Allen Fieldhouse, Lawson retrieved a rebound and then made a follow shot to snap his scoring drought.
