Powered by an explosive offense and awesome rebounding the University of Kansas defeated Oklahoma last night in Allen Field House. 98-80.
The win moved KU into a first place tie with Kansas State at 9-1, while Oklahoma remained in third place but dropped two games. The team was the best when they played the Sooners in Manhattan.

UCLA, which limped home from a visit to Oregon last weekend with two staggering defeats, fell from first to third place in this week's Associated Press college basketball poll. North Carolina State edged Notre Dame for the No. 1 spot.
The outlurth forced the Sooners into a full court zone press, but KU continually beat the press with solid ball handling and quick passes underneath to center Danny Knight. Knight scored nine of his game high 24 points after the Sooners went to their press.
UCLA, 18-3, received only three of the top votes and 842 points after losing 81-57 to Oklahoma State.
"When people hit you with a quick zone trap," Owens said, "they either beat you with it or you beat them. They have to turn it up, and they're very good at it. We scored wee稀 well against it at the end."

North Carolina state, runner-up to UCLA in last week's balloting, received 30 first-place votes and 1,034 points in Monday's voting by a nationwide panel of sports officials. Dame, No. 3 last week, received 22 first-place votes and 1,018 points for second place.
Adams "was tougher than in the games in the Big Eight Tournament and in Norman," Knight said. "He seemed more physical this time."
KU's next game will be next Tuesday at Nebraska. Owens said that the team would take two days off before the team prepare for the Cornhuskers.

"WE HAD NORMAN (Cook) at the poet and they were sagging auf him and that left me open," Kivisto said. "They also had to watch our wings."
In the first half, Oklahoma started out in a man-to-man defense, but switched to the zone when Adams picked up his second foul only two minutes into the game.
The strategy worked as KU erased a six-point Sooner lead and raced into an eight point lead with 4:13 left in the half. Oklahoma hit a cold spell at the same time.

"Tremendous game," Owens said of Kivito's play. "I don't know how a guard can get there."
KU attacked the Sooner zone by moving forward Norm Cook into the high post position at the free throw line, and used either Knight or Rick Suttle underneath. Owens said the offense was designed to give KU more height under the basket and to

OU Coach Impressed By KU Defense, Talent
By DON PFANNENSTIEL
Assistant Sports Editor
"A fine performance. Kansas is a beckuva club," were coach Joe Ramsey's first words after exiting the Oklahoma dressing room following the University of Kansas' decisive 98-80 win last night over Oklahoma.
Last night's KU victory was its third consecutive win over the Sooners this season. The Hawks beat Oklahoma in the Big Eight Tournament, 82-72, and in Norman, 82-79. Ramsey said there was no doubt KU had improved.
"The longer a team plays together, as the season progresses, the better they become," he said. "We had to get em. We played a fairly good game when we were only down by eight points, but late in the game the tempo stepped up and we cracked."
Ranssey said that in the first half the KU man-to-man defense pressured the Oklahoma offense to the outside. He said his passing lanes were closed by the KU defense, resulting in too much dribbling and not enough moving the ball.
"In the second half when they (KU) switched from a man-to-man to a zone the pace picked up," Ramsey said. Then their three outside shooters, Morningstar, Greenlee and Kivisto hit the bucket well which was the key to their attack."
Throughout the game KU playmaker Tom Kivisto was never at a standstill. He was stealing passes, intimidating the opponent and scoring clutch baskets.
"Kivito is a big key to KU," Ramsey said. "There is no other guard like him. He's a man who doesn't care."
KU's counterpart to Kansas State's Lon Kruger."
Kivisto was paired with Oklahoma's freshman guard Eddie Fields, who was playing in the place of regular guard Lee Gilbert. Gilbert is out with a slight shoulder separation. Hanssey said he wasn't sure whether his presence would have made a difference.
"He might have steadied us more," Ramsey said. "It might have cut down on some turnovers, but Fields did have some excellent passes and he is going to be good."
"KU are jumps him who have players like Alvan (Adams) who play with finesse instead of explosiveness. With Suttle and Spencer, there is a great opportunity to keep their players fresh."
Ramsay said that his team played well, talent in the league.
"Overall, KU has the talent," he said.
JV's Win,102-86
The Rockhill College junior varisty was unable to overcome a 10-point halftime deficit and lost to the University of Kansas varisty 102-48 last night in Allen Field House.
KU scored 50 points in the first half and added 52 in the second to break the century mark for the first time this year. KU has a 6-4 record for the season.
The Hawks were led by forwards Donne Von Moore and Jack Hollis, Hollis had a game high 33 points and Von Moore hit for 27.
