never appeared in the NCAA and only once have they been in a post-season tournament, last season in the National Invitational Tournament. They were beaten by Minnesota, the eventual runner-up.
DESPITE THE REBELs' lack of history on the basketball court, Ole Miss Coach Bob Wetlich is enthusiastic about meeting Kansas.
"We are very excited about playing Kansas University in the NCAA tournament," he said. "This will be our first trip while they are a team of great that annually wins their conference and has made several trips to the NCAA."
Walthich also said the Jayhawks would be playing in front of a favorable crowd in Witchita. But because of an NCAA minimum alttoutage of 785 yards, the Jayhawks won't be as favorable as it might have been, which disappoints Owens.
"VERY DISAPPOINTED," he said. "I felt initially that Wichita would be a good place to go but as it turned out, anywhere we had have been better."
The crowd won't help as much as expected but KU's height should be an advantage. The Rebels start 6-foot-8 Roger Steg at center and the only player that tail is seventh-man Tim Thomas, also 6-4.
KU will start three men taller than Stieg and will also outsize the Rebels at guard. Tony Guy, 6-foot-6, and Darnell
Valentine, 6-foot-2, will cover 6-foot Cecil Dowell and 6-foot-1 Sean Tuohy.
THE FRONTLINE is a strong point for the Rebels despite their lack of size. The main reason is 6-foot-5 senior forward Eldin Turner, who averages 20.5 points a game and 8.1 rebounds. Turner was first team ALL-SEC, quite a feat considering the players on nationally ranked Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee, all of the Southeast Conference.
The KU-Mississippi game will be followed by Wichita State Southern at 9:38. The Jayhawks' game will be followed by VCU, VCH, channel 41 and KNK, Channel 727.
BY THE TIME the first basket is made in Wichita, the women's team will have one game of AIAW tournament play under its belt. The Jayhawks, fourth-ranked nationally, face the Coyotes of South Dakota in the first round of the AIAW Region VI Tournament at Minneapolis, Minn.
Kansas, with a 2-4 record and 8-0 in Region VI play, is the tournament's No.1 seed. South Dakota, 16-9, is seeded eight.
The Coyotes started the season on a high note, winning nine of their first 10 games, but lately have been in a bump. They were overpowered last Friday, 104-52, by Kansas State, a team that Jayhawks beat three times this season.
“It’s certainly nothing that I planned,” KU Coach Marian Washington said. “We weren’t notified until just before the season that they had moved back a week. By the time the told me I could’t find anyone willing to play us.”
HOWEVER, WASHINGTON added

hurry.
KU may appreciate a weaker
week layoff or a 3% week
layoff since their last game.
"The kids have worked really hard in the last few weeks and they're rested and ready to play again," she said. "I'm not worried that they'll have trouble getting up for South Dakota. I'm sure this is South Dakota's most important game and they'll be up for us."
if the Jayhawks beat South Dakota, they will play the winner of the Drake—Kansas State game tomorrow at 1:30 in the semifinals.
In other first-round action, Wichita and Nebraska will battle Mission. And Nebraska will battle Mission.
The finals Sunday could feature a Kansas-Minnesota match-up, which would give the 15th-ranked Gophers a home-court advantage.

JAYHAWK NOTES: In NCAA regional action last night, one Big Eight team already has been eliminated. The Missouri Tigers, playing in the Austin, Texas, subregional of the Midwest regional, last to Lamar 71-47.

The Kansas State Wildcats deserve San Francisco in a thriller in Los Angeles. 62-10. The Wildcats will face Oregon State tomorrow.
The meet starts this afternoon at Joe Louis Arena and concludes tomorrow afternoon.
"Willanoan will once again teach a strong team, as will Tennessee out of the Southeastern Conference and Illinois on the one at Ten. And I think Southern Methodist is a team that is going to be coming on strong."
The defending champion is the University of Texas-El Paso, which has won the meet five of the last seven years.
