The Jayhawks came away from their game with Notre Dame, the nation's No. 1 college basketball team, with a 76-74 defeat, their first loss of the season at home.
A single bounce of the ball may have kept the University of Kansas basketball team from pulling off its biggest upset in recent years last night in Allen Field House.
With KU trailing 76-74 and 20 seconds remaining in the game, freshman forward Adrian Dandley was at the free throw line for Notre Dame in a one and one situation.
His first shot hit the back of the rim, bounced high and came down in the grass near center John Shumate. Notre Dame's ball clock and preserved its two-point margin.
"I had one time out left," head coach Ted Owens said after the game, "but I wanted to see what happened on Dandey's free throw bounce. It took it. Then it took that screwy bounce."
THE GAME ITSSELF started as it ended. The score was tied seven times in the first eight minutes before the Irish began to pull away on two free throws by Shumate which made the score 16-14, with 12:20 left in the first half.
Nore Dame followed with a run of six straight points to go ahead 28-18, with 9:29 left. Latter in the half, the Irish had a string of eight straight points mostly on free throws and from inside. Nore Dame's Nore Dame first the first half was 49-33 with 53 seconds left.
KU struggled through a first half that included a shooting percentage of 36.4 per cent, 11 fouls and 10 turnovers. Notre Dame built its 15-point margin by shooting 58.6 per cent from the field and 100 per cent from the free throw line.
"I think we would have had a good chance to win the game if we had kept close in the first half," Owens said. "It made our job successful, but it didn't make it impossible."
KU ALMOST DID the impossible as it came out in the second half and in the first
four minutes cut the deficit to 51-45.
Substitute center Rick Suttle led the Hawks' comeback with six points in this stretch as he consistently challenged Notre Dame's All-America candidate.
"I had been working on my position"*
"I had just pushed me according to
Shuatate's position."
Sitting ended as the game's leading scorer with 27 points, 19 of them in the second half. His total was 34 points.
Slipped start another KU surge when he hit a seven footer with 13 minutes left. The 'Hawks outscored the Irish 10-4 during the curve and trailed 63-61 with 85 remaining.
During the rally, Shumate picked up his four foul and left the game, temporarily. However, KU more than equaled the foul situation when forward Tommy Smith made a long later and his substitute, freshman Norm Cook, foiled out just 11 seconds after Smith.
NOTRE DAME CAME BACK with three straight baskets, including two 20-footers by guard Dwight Clay, to build a 69-16 lead at the 6:28 mark.
KU countered by bringing starting center Danny Knight back into the game for forward Donnie Von Moore, and the "Hawks," on the strength of two Suttle baskets and a free throw, climbed to within four, 72-68, with 3:52 left.
Shumate, who returned to the game after Suttle's free throw, then hit two free throws, only to see Knight answer him with two kills. He must make the score 74-72 with 2:18 remaining.
Dantley added a lay-in after a drive down the lane, but Suttle hit from inside with 35 seconds left to cut the score to 76-74. And, Dantley threw an attempt, that was how it ended.
KU RETURNS to Big Eight conference action Saturday in a regionally televised game at Oklahoma. Owens expressed frustration with his squad would be ready for the game.
KU's record is now 11-4, and the Irish remained undefeated at 11-0.
