Not all of the country’s media members will be in San Diego this weekend for the Super Bowl.

About 150 local, regional and national media types will descend on Lawrence for Saturday’s Kansas-Arizona men’s basketball game and Monday’s KU-Texas game, both at Allen Fieldhouse.

CBS announcers Billy Packer and Verne Lundquist will work the noon nonconference game between No. 1 Arizona and No. 6 Kansas, while ESPN’s Dick Vitale and Dan Shulman will be the talent for KU’s 8 p.m. Big 12 Conference battle against the No. 4 Longhorns.

Sporting News, ESPN Magazine, CBS Sportsline, Fox Sports, the New York Times, USA Today, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Dallas Morning News will send writers. Sports Illustrated will send photographers, but no writers.

“This will be the most heavily covered game since I’ve been here,” said KU director of media relations Mitch Germann, in his third year as primary media contact for men’s basketball.

“A standard conference game might draw 80 to 100 media members plus six to eight NBA scouts.

“For Arizona we’ve credentialed over 150 media members, including about seven national writers and 19 NBA scouts. There will be 24 scouts for the Texas game.”

Germann said the first media requests for the twinbill were made in early October.

“Three or four national guys — Andy Katz (ESPN), Frank Burlison (Fox) and some others — mentioned they would stay for both games. The attraction I assume is they get to see three very high-profile and highly-ranked teams and numerous preseason All-America candidates in a three-day span,” Germann said.

To handle the crunch, Germann will add 12 extra seats in the fieldhouse end zones, using four tables instead of the normal two. The overflow press box in the southwest stands will also be jam-packed.

He said several athletic department officials and back-up stat crew members will give up their press row seats and watch the games from fieldhouse offices.

“Arizona has two local TV stations traveling to cover the game. While they are here, they’ll be doing some specials. You rarely see local TV stations (at KU) because they can get feeds from their affiliates,” Germann said.

“We weren’t patient enough,” Collison said after scoring 16 points off 7-of-16 shooting. “We took a lot of bad shots. We just weren’t moving the ball.”

Guard Keith Langford put up a season-high 19 shots, missing 13, en route to 14 points.

“We rushed things at times,” Langford said.

• This, that: Former Colorado player D.J. Harrison, who is no longer playing basketball, raced out of the stands and stood near court level after his brother, David, fell hard after hitting an off-balance basket in the second half. D.J. Harrison, who exchanged angry words with KU’s Drew Gooden in the KU-CU game last season at Boulder, glared at KU’s players, but did not rush the court. He was told to go back to his seat by a woman, believed to be the Harrisons’ mother. No KU players or coaches said anything to D.J. Harrison, who presumably thought his brother had been fouled. … There might have been an outcry from CU today had Kirk Hinrich’s last second shot gone through the hoop Wednesday. Replays show that for some reason, the clock stopped for close to a second just as Michael Lee received a pass from Hinrich in the corner. Hence, Hinrich’s attempt, which came with less than a second left, should have come after the final buzzer.

• Coach O: Lute Olson, in his 20th season at Arizona and 30th as a head coach will be coaching his first game at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday. He’ll run his Wildcats through an afternoon practice today at the fieldhouse. It is not open to the public.
