“No, because I think that Sherron deserves to start. He's an all-around good player and he has good chemistry with the other starters, but I will miss Russell Robinson.”

— Megan Bailey, Kansas University junior, Chicago

“No. It's not that we don't need him; it's just that we have other talent that will support the team. He's not our only ace in the hole. Sherron will pick up his slack.”

— Jesse White, general contractor, Lawrence

“I'm going to have to say no. As much a part of the team as he is, and not to downplay Iowa State, I think we'll be just fine.”

— Hannah Fredrick, teacher's assistant, Lawrence

“We have them at home, so it shouldn't be a problem. The way we've been playing lately, spreading the points around and not depending on one or two players, they should be OK.”

— Troy Hirsch, delivery driver, Lawrence
