Javhawks lose another close one
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
Sports Editor
Good basketball teams have to win the
good basketball games. That's what separates the men from
the women.
And that's what separates this year's KU team from those of recent years. That winning luck, that confidence at the end, is no longer there.
It it happened again Saturday night. The Jayhawks, despite playing the final seconds just as they wanted it, lost to Colorado. But the Mugger tipped in a badly missed shot.
After Norm Cook's tip it at 86-all with 10 seconds to decide to play for the lead. But Jony. But Jony.
w saw an opening with 14 seconds to play. He drove the lane and put up a hayup that was blocked by Norm Cook. But the ball rolled bounds, and the Buffs had another chance.
AFTER A TIME out, the ball again went to Sferra. He, again, he tried to drive, but was cut off by KU guard Milt Gibson. With the ball missing, the violence 18-foot jump shot that missed badly.
But Mueller was there to ram it through to send KU down to its third-second defeat
"We were looking for Sferra to drive," said an obviously驳驳 Gibson. "We ligured they would get the ball to him and that he's take it down the lane.
Koen Keenns shouldered the blame for Mueller's game-wining follow shot.
"We made him put it up from the outside. That's what we wanted to do."
"IBATTED THE ball up there," Koenigs said, "and Muelier came around the other side and tipped it in. I should have grabbed it."

Don't blame Koenigens, though. The game was probably lost in a three-minute stretch of the second half when the Buffers dissolved a 10-point KU lead.
The Jahwacks came out quicker after halftime, scoring 11 points in three minutes to take a 47-37 lead. But Colorado came back with three unanswered field goals, then a couple of minutes later ran in 15 points in a game more than three minutes for a bounce 48-54 tie.
"It was the same thing we've done all day," Ted Owens said. "We get ahead and then start taking bad shots. Inconsistency has been our pattern all year."
COLORADO'S COMEBACK forced the Jayhawks to abandon its zone defense, which had done a good job of containing the Buffs. When KU went to a man-to-man, Buff freshman guard Emnett Lewis went to work.
Using his quickness to good advantage, he shot 20 shots and finished with a game-high 24 points.
The loss dropped KU to 5-7 in league play and 12-12 for the year. After three straight losses, it's not going to be easy to regroup for the final two games.
"He was so little and so quick that he gave us problems," Clint Johnson said. "He did a good job. It doesn't take him long to get off a good shot."
KU's Ken Koenigs sees the game at ground level
"It's going to be hard, real hard," Johnson admitted. "But really, now I wish we had more games. I sure wish we had the post-season tourney for the NCAA."
That won't come until next season. The only motivation now is pride.
