Fouls harness big men: KU falls to MU.79-65
By KEVIN BERTELS Sports Editor
COLUMBIA, Mo.—When Kansas played Missouri at Allen Field House earlier this season, our Missouri team dominated the game, and we dominate inside play and was easily
Those were truly the good 'cl' days. Last night, the Jayhawks had 15 fouls called against them in the first half, and 23 points against the circle. The Jayhawks were beaten, 79-85.
KU center Victor Mitchell had three fouls at halftime and ended the game with four. Forward Art Housey had four fouls at halftime and that may have been KU's downfall.
House and Mitchell, not able to play aggressively, grabs only two rebounds each in the second half.
KU finished the first half behind by 11 points.
"It definitely put a limit on everything," Mitchell said. "Things just didn't go our way. We got so many quick foints. It takes away your enviornment, and gets big guy, and we've got big guys, and we couldn't out and play them."
"We had to play timid and that's not my style. Fouls were a big part of the game."
As is often the case with the winner, MU Coach Norm Stewart could only praise the officiating.
"I thought we had good position," he said. "We stayed away from fouls. There was a switch in the officiating.

KU women look ahead to more competitive foes
The KU women's basketball team can't afford to look beyond tonight's game with Pittsburgh State to an end-of-season schedule that includes nationally ranked Minnesota and Midwest power Drake.
But who could blame the Jayhawks if they did?
Pittsburgh had a 12-17 record to Allen Field House for a 7:30 p.m. game against the third-ranked Jayhawks. The Gussses record includes losses to the University of Wisconsin, none but the University of Winnipeg, none are considered basketball powers.
"Pittsburgh State is one of those ball clubs that are very spirited,very emotional," Kansas coach Marian Washington said.
The Gussies needed a little more of that spirit and emotion when the two teams last met. Kansas took an 81-52 win over Pittsburg Jan. 21 in Pittsburg.
Judging from the way the Jayhawks win tonight's game may be just as looped-up.
Kansas has won nine in a row and, except for a 19-point victory over Colorado, all have been by 20 points or more.
Washington is concerned that her team is in the midst of a soft section of the schedule, which includes back-to-
"KU is playing very good basketball right now," Washington said. "The kids are really passing the ball well and playing together as a team."
back games against Creighton and Pittsburg, which are both in their first season of Division I basketball.
"We have to go out and play our type of game," Washington said. "If we sit down our starters, it is going to hurt our team. If we went out and just tried to win and not worried about how we won, we could set into a bad situation."
Washington is trying to maintain momentum as Jayhaws take on the Giants.
Kansas will have home games against Sunflower State rivals Wichita State and Minnesota State along with Detroit and Minnesota.
"We still have some very good games left," Washington said. "Detroit always has a good team, Wichita State has beaten KState and Drake has always been one of the toughest teams in the Midwest. It is almost as tough to win up there in Des Moines as it is at Kansas State."
One dark spot for the Jayhawks in freshmen guard Mary Myers. Myers has tenitonis in her right foot and may miss tonight's game against Pittsburgh.
Starting center Megan Scott and sophomore guard Chris Stewart may also miss tonight's game due to a scholastic conflict. Both players are scheduled to take examinations at 7:30 p.m.
"The professor has said that they may be able to take the test at 8 p.m., Washington said. "But if they can't take it at 6 they will miss the game. I'm looking for what's most important for the kids and certainly education is more important so whatever the professor decides, we'll abide by."
