14 Tuesday, February 12, 1980 University Daily Kansan Women wallop Ladv Statesmen By PAM CLARK Sports Writer It took about seven minutes for the KU women's basketball team to get started, then the Jayhawks unleashed their fast and ran past Dalia State 782 last night. The victory in Allen Field House was the 10th-ranked Jayhawks 22nd in 26 games and their second victory this season over the Cleveland, Miss. State team. Delaware to fale 14-12. It was a case of a traditional power in women's basketball playing a team that has come into national prominence only in the past three years. But for the first seven games, she looked as though Delta State was trying to help the young upsets back in their place. Delta State uses its height advantage to take control of the game. Doreen Grote and Mary Adams, both 63, burned the 'Hawks inside and staked the Lady Statesmen to a tie after five minutes. At the 10:13 mark they mounted a five-point advantage, 19-14. But the 'Hawks put their game together and exploded for 10 straight points in the next three and a half minutes to lead 24-19. To counter the Hawks momentum, Delta State went from a 1-34 zone defense to a man-to-man. The Statesmen scored 24,23 with six minutes remaining in the half. But again KU exploded an offensive. The 'Hawks scored 11 straight points in the next four minutes to a commanding 35-23 win that allowed the advantage stretched to 14 points, 39-25. "Delta State anticipated that we were coming back," said the staff working the ball game, "肌造 Maran Washington said. 'They spread out their wings to the point where we really couldn't." In an effort to cut off della State's inside game and help megan Scott and shebra Legrant in the middle, KU went to 2-12 for a third straight week. Were kids were able to say to Grode and Adams. in the opening minutes of the second half, KU used a full-court zone pressure to stifle any comeback by Delta State. The press was cut short by one of KU's novers and dances any hopes the Lady Statesmen might have had for a switch in momentum. Delta State was unable to get the ball inside for the easy basket and was forced to put the ball up from the perimeter, as the KU lead grew steadily. The Hawks forced a 6-4 win, with 38 remaining in the game and enjoyed their largest lead, 26 points at 70-44, with 2.36 left. The KU running game was relentless in the second half. But it was the 10- and 11-point outbursts in the first half that set the pace for the game. "We're a very explosive型 ball club," Washington said. "My philosophy is that you can't afford to simply exchange players or coaches like sports like that throughout the ball game." "We need to keep the pressure on them. It's a psychological thing to go out and really kill them with the running game or a tenacious defense." KU dominated almost every statistical category in addition to the score. The Hawks shot 48 percent from the field and 59 percent from the State. And KU continued its attack at the free-throw line, hitting 10 of 11 for 91 percent. The KU defense forced the Lady Statesmen into commitring 32 turnovers, but that was offset by the 30 committed by KU. | | PGL | FT | REB | PF | TP | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Mason | 3.9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | | Legatet | 3.9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | | Legrand | 6.1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Burnett | 4.7 | 0.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Burnett | 4.7 | 0.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Newtow | 2.7 | 0.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Newtow | 2.7 | 0.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Smith | 2.6 | 0.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Smith | 2.6 | 0.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Culver | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | Culver | 18-17 | 10-11 | 61 | 12 | 1 | Delta State Officials-Gates, Minks FG 41 PT 27 REB 59 TP 10 McKay 46 PT 12 TB 39 TP 10 Gode 41 11 TB 28 TP 10 Glenn 41 11 TB 28 TP 10 Cummins 29 0.0 2 2 4 Cummins 29 0.0 2 2 4 Gray 4 1.0 2 2 4 Grey 4 1.0 2 2 4 Rhode Island 0.2 0.0 0 0 Rhode Island 0.2 0.0 0 0 Ward 314 0.0 0 1 0 Ward 314 0.0 0 1 0 Bennett 0.1 0.0 0 1 0 Bennett 0.1 0.0 0 1 0 Totals 27-11 81 62 42 32 Valentine unjustly accused fall guy in collapse The questions used to concern his future in the National Basketball Association. Now they're about his competence. That's the plight of Darnell Valentine, KU's once super freshman, then not-so-super sophomore and now not-so-obsessed with him. He's mering that he is in a season-long slump. Others contend that he guns and hogs the team. And it's supposedly the root of KU's losing evils. VALENTINE HAS SAYED the "Down Turned, tired people with a spectacular spectacle at the ballgame," he s' frustrated, especially after the team's latest bummer, Saturday's 84-86 los to 15- thranked Columbia in Columbia. Mo. It also said that Valentine, an alienite, who sho- ld 3 of 13 from the floor. OFF ON A TANGENT The frustration and pressure surface in a subdued but strong burst after the Tiger travesty. Valentine was called for a 5-2 victory by the Curtis Mizzou's Curtis Berry in the head. He questioned the call and the rationale of a 6-2 player trying to pick a fight with the gene myers league's ideal power forward. Unless the kick would have killed, Valentine would have been in big trouble. "MAN, I WAS trying to get my foot out from under him and he was grabbing and holding my foot," he said, "their boy (Steve Pinsevitch) swam at the place with us and we did not any fuel called at all. Then we technical for trying to move my foot." Once the foot was out, Berry pawed Valentine's muscular thighs. Valentine made like a star wrestler and escaped. "I didn't know that anyone kicked me or anything," Berry said. "I realized there was a little unfair play on, and while I was going about my business, I crested. I couldn't down there too long." 57 percent, was the clear-cut choice of two coaches. Two more split their votes between Blackman, Nebraska center Andrew Smith and Lakers center Drew. Drew was the top choice of one coach. "I'm certainly not going to say who's best, 'Owens said. 'It depends on what your needs are. I've never said who the best man is, our own team. I just don't believe in that." "Everybody is trying to bring you down any way they can, even the refs. We can't get the break. What kind of stuff is that?" he added if it's worth playing in this Big Eight." Ted Owens of Kansas, Norm Stewart of Missouri and Blackman's coach at K-State, Jack Hartman, refused to participate. "If we're going to start a basketball team, I think I'd like to have Blackman," Oklahoma coach Dave Bliss said. "He's a pressure shooter, a good defensive player and a great leader. A lot of it is ability. But a skill is in need in and that a credit to their program." DARNELL VALENTINE didn't want to keep too much inside. "Trying to kick him in the head—don't be too aggressive," they always try to get somebody in this league when you're on top. They always try to make somebody better. Even though Valentine is scoring at a career-high 17.3 clip and shooting 49 percent, his star has fallen with his Big Eight apiece. A recent Associated Press survey revealed that coaches thought Kansas was the best basketball player this year. Valentine wasn't even mentioned. Mistake. Wrong. Frustrating.
