12 Wednesday. February 20,1980 University Daily Kansan Home-court berth at stake for KU tonight By GENEMYERS Under the category of Colorado basketball milestones, Kauga is last on the list. The official entry reads: "Feb. 24, 1979, Kansas over Colorado 71-60 in the final game in Balch Field House." As highlights go, that one is pretty low. But the entire KUCU series hasn't been too great. Big Eight high-quality basketball and Colorado not to overlap too often. BUT TONIGHT IN Boulder, the teams meet for a meaningful basketball game. The Jayhawks, 12-12 overall and 6-1 in the conference, must win to stay ahead in the postseason. The post-season tournament. The Green Bay Buffaloes are in the same must-win situation. "It apparent the Colorado game is a must," KU coach Ted Owens said yesterday. "a must win for both of us. Colorado will be playing as well as anyone in the league." If KU doesn't win, it's time for the “if game.” If KU loses it tonight, it would have to win Saturday against Oklahoma State in the final game of the regular season. But even if Vonn, then Colorado would have to lose at least two games and set up the deciding coin film. BUT IF KU does beat the Bucks tonight, the home advantage is assured. "My primary concern about Colorado," Owens said, "is that they have a very physical front line." Colorado's main concern is a bit of old- fashioned revenge. Coach Bill Blair has rehanced some old-time emotions to fire up his squad. "I hope this will be the biggest game here since the Russians," said Blair, who led crown cheers against the Soviet National Guard. "There's no telling what I might do." UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN* Sports on A COLD January night two winters ago, Blair trotted his young Bufaloes—four freshman, three sophomores and only one junior—into the powerful, nationally ranked Jawbacks. The 'Hawks were on route to a Big Eight title, a 14-5 record and top rankings in both wire service polls. Colorado was to be just one of the big, strong and deep Jayhaws. And the Bufs were. They suffered an embarrassing 85-56 loss. At one point that night, Kansas had built a 46-point lead, and they could apply full-court pressure records. THAT WAS THE second worst loss the Buffs had suffered in Blair's four years. It also was the first of seven straight victories KU had taken from them. But Blair doesn't have only emotion riding on his side. He also has Jo Jou Hunter, the former Maryland University maverick. Hunter has almost single-handedly kept the home in court-frace race this month. He 15 against Kansas and against Oklahoma State, 15 against Kansas, 20 against Oklahoma, 18 against Missouri and 27 against Nebraska. "I just kind of take what the opponents will give me," Hunter said. "I look for my shot more because of my confidence. But I just take what the defense gives me." KANSAS DOES NOT want to give him much, but Blair says that there is no stopping Hunter. "He's the best offensive player in the league," he said. "He scores the ball and score big baskets. He's capable of doing it. I recall I said these same things four and five months ago. He hasn't let me play." one of KU's main goals in the game is to get down by a wide margin right after the opening tip. The 'Hawks dropped behind Saturday in Manhattan, way behind, but the man state to come back and defeat Kansas State in the season of the season. KU has been so fortunate. "I can't figure it out why we drop behind the way we do," WEK's Keith Douglas said. "We're not as enthused about the games as we are. We don't come out and jump right on them." "You've got to get yourself psyched up. People don't realize with college teams that most of the players have already been formed. When you get to college, you aren't going to change. "For me, it's easy to get fired up for a game. Maybe the others don't do that." DOUGLAS' COMMENTS came after KU lost to Missouri 84-58 Feb. 9.

Sophomore Tony Guy and senior Dolph Carroll were in vote in after a secret election after KU lost to Ions 81-77 Feb. 7. "This basketball team has grown considerably in the last few days," Owens said. "They have a tremendous amount of pride and want to prove themselves. IN OTHER BIG Eight news: "Winning in Mahattan was a great boost in confidence. I hope it will carry over into the remainder of the season." - Oklahoma State's Randy Wright hit two free throws in the last 20 seconds to give the Cowboys a 69-47 trophy over Iowa State for seventh place.

Washington State (84) - 16.7 By PAM CLARK Sports Writer Kansas' women's basketball game against Wichita State last night was supposed to be another exercise in futility for the Shockers. It was supposed to be a laugher. If Wichita State came within 30 points of the "Hawks, it would be a moral victory. The heavily favored KU women pulled over the table. It wilted anything a bus- laugher. The half-time lead and then on to 40-26 halftime lead and then on to the second half to defeat Wichita State 70-41 in KU improved its record to 24-4, while the Shockers fell to 13-12. It was KU's second victory over Wichita State this season. THE NINE-POINT was Wichita State's best showing against KU since Wichita native Lynette Woodward joined the Hawks two years ago. Until last night, the closest the Shockers had come to KU in the past three years was 26 points, when they lost 83-57 two years ago. In Lawrence on Jan. 22, Woodard and KU devastated Wichita State in the first half on the way to a 38-6 cmp. In the first quarter, Woodard had nine steals and 30 points. But Woodward didn't come close to that performance in 40 minutes last night. The junior point guard missed the 14 her first field goal attempt and finished with only 14 points, an off night for the KU scoring just under 25 points in just under 25 points a game this season. The Shockers took an early 10-heel. But during an eight minute stretch midway up the hill, KJ outcured the Shockers 26-2-1, and unanswered points, to take a 30-12 lead. DURING THAT STRETCH, the KU defense forced Wichita State to turn the ball over 12 times and miss 11 field goal attempts. But Wichita State batted back. Three of its starters scored in double figures to bring the Shockers within a hair of pulling off the bue insult. Forward Terry O'Bryon led the Wichita down nine rebounds, she also pulled down nine rebounds. O'Bryon became the first woman in the school's history to score 1,000 career shots. The Shockers also got 16 points and 10 assists from guard Kern Strobel and 13 points and 10 rebounds from freshman center Theresa Drewlin. Kansas had three players in double figures in addition to Woodard, P Mason, Shebra Legrant and Megan Scott each tossed in 12 points. KU HAS ONLY two more regular season games on its schedule before post-season play begins at the end of February.
