MADISON, WIS. ? Kansas met a team that wanted to run with it. The Jayhawks ran and jumped all over Oregon instead.

Drew Gooden and Nick Collison each had double-doubles by early in the second half Sunday and top-seeded Kansas never trailed in a 104-86 rout of the Ducks that put the Jayhawks in the Final Four.

Kansas controlled the fast, end-to-end action and dominated the boards, outrebounding second-seeded Oregon 63-34. The Jayhawks grabbed 26 of their rebounds on offense.

“We knew the way to beat them was to beat them on the boards and get extra shots,” Gooden said. “I think it was contagious. We were relentless out there on the backboards.”

Gooden had 18 points and 20 rebounds and Collison added 25 points and 15 rebounds, leading the Jayhawks to their first national semifinal since 1993 and third under coach Roy Williams.

But this is the first time in five tries that Williams has taken a top-seeded team to the Final Four. His other appearances came as a No. 3 in 1992 and a No. 2 in 1993.

Two other Jayhawks nearly joined forwards Gooden and Collison with double-doubles. Freshman Keith Langford had 20 points and eight rebounds and Kirk Hinrich scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

“They crash the boards all the time, every single play,” said Frederick Jones, who led the Ducks with 32 points. “Their guards came in and got some, too. It was an all-around effort.”

The Jayhawks, the nation’s highest-scoring team with a 91-point average, outmuscled and outhustled the beefier Ducks on the glass, fueling their up-tempo game.

“I liked it because it was up and down, even though we were beating each other for layups,” Gooden said. “You probably can’t see my feet right now. I’ve got my shoes off. My dogs are hurting.”

Kansas led 48-42 at halftime and stretched its lead to 73-59 on a runner by Hinrich with 9:50 left.

Anthony Lever hit back-to-back 3-pointers to spark a 10-2 Oregon run that made it 75-69 with 8:30 remaining. Lever’s third 3-pointer made it 77-72 seconds later.

But Kansas scored the next 10 points, four by Collison, to end the Ducks’ dreams of reaching the Final Four for the first time since they won the first NCAA championship in 1939.

“I told them that rebounding could win the game if they just stayed on the boards,” Williams said. “The backboards really turned so much in our favor, it was huge for us.”

Gooden nearly had his standard double-double by halftime, scoring his ninth point with 8:11 left in the first half and getting his ninth rebound with 5:49 remaining.

Ten seconds later, Hinrich’s layup gave Kansas a 40-28 lead and it appeared as though the Jayhawks (33-3) were going to run away with it early.

But the Ducks, playing in a regional final for the first time in 42 years, scored the next 12 points, seven by Jones, to tie it at 40 with 2:57 left in the first half. Jones had two slam dunks off steals and capped the burst with a 3-pointer.

Oregon had two chances to take the lead, but Luke Ridnour missed a layup and Jones missed a 3-pointer.

Collison’s basket gave Kansas the lead again. He hit two more shots as the Jayhawks built their six-point halftime advantage.

Collison scored 15 first-half points on 7-of-11 shooting and helped Gooden provide a mismatch down low with the bigger but slower Robert Johnson and Chris Christoffersen, Oregon’s 7-foot-2, 300-pound senior center.
