Page 10 University Daily Kansan, February 5, 1981 图 Big men help, but turnovers kill KU in 3 OTs By TRACEE HAMILTON Associate Sports Editor For the first time this season, the Kansas basketball team made good use of its big men, Art Housey, 4-foot-10 forward, and Victor McIlroy, 6-foot-4 One drawback: The team couldn't hang on to the ball. The Jayhawks turned over the ball and a victory last night, 78-73 failing to the Oklahoma State Cowboys in triple overtime in Stillwater, Okla. "FOR THE FIRST TIME we made good use of our big men," Owens said. "With the exception of Victor Mitchell in the first half, no one shied well." Oh, yes, one other exception. Tony Gay, 6-foot-4 guard, sunk a 35-footer with no time left in regulation play to send the dog fight overtime. Mitchell pumped in 26 points to lead both teams in scoring. The 28 points is the most Mitchell has scored in a game since he donned a red and blue uniform this fall. Mitchell also scored 35 points in rebounding by a Jawhyrk this season. But despite KU's inside scoring and unwavering zone defense, the Jayhawks turned the ball over 17 times in the first half, stealing, kicking the ball and stealing. THE JAYHAWKS PULLED out to an early lead in the first half, but Oklahoma State battled back to tie the score at 28 with about six minutes left. The Cowboys then moved away from the Jajahwks and took a 33-90 lead into the final game. In the second half, KU's zone defense held Oklahoma State to the best points it has scored all season. Kansas did not break into a man-to-man defense until less than two minutes remained in the game, which should have pleased Head Coach Ted Owens. But the game that the Jayhawks would remain in the zone unless forced out. With 10 seconds left on the clock, Darnell Valentine, 6-2 guard, threw a high lob inside for Victor Mitchell. The ball was slightly out of Mitchell's reach and Oklahoma State took possession of the game ball. Valentine fouled Randy Wright, who sank the first of two free throws. The second didn't go, and Art O'Brien, who scored, passed the ball downcourt to Terry Gay, who hit the shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime with the score knotted at 57. THE FIRST TWO overtimes were low-scoring and the Cowboys missed opportunities to win both in the final seconds. Randy Wright missed a baseline jumper with 7 seconds left in the first overtime to leave the score tied with Clark, and Matt Clark, the Big Eight's leading scorer, missed last-ditch attempts. The Jayhawks ran out of breaks in the third overtime. Valentine fouled out with about 24% remaining, and the Hawks lost to North, 8-4, guard KU slipbed behind 75-71. David Magley, 6-7 forward, then broke his scoring drought, hitting one of his patented 15-foot jump shots to pull KU within a bucket. Neal then inched toward the right, who sank one free throw to put the game out of reach for the Jawhawk. The game was atypical of the Cowboy's style of play. The score at end of the game was 49-38. fewest points the Cowboys have scored all year. And the final tally is the second least points Oklahoma State has put on the scoreboard all season long. "WE WERE NOT constant defenses that depends on the offense we rightly have." "This is the first time we've gone into a zone and haven't scored 80 or 90 points," Oklahoma State Coach Paul Hansen said. "The free throw line is our game and we didn't make it there enough. Once the Cowboys made it to the line, they had some success, sinking 18 of 29 free throws for 62 percent. KU shot only 59 percent. The loss put KU two games out of the conference lead, which is held by the Cowboys with a 6-1 Big Eight record. But Owens is not throwning in the towel. "This loss is what we make of it." Owens said. "We're not in an impossible situation, but it depends on us, and, of course, what our opponents do."

BOWKER Sports Writer The Kansas men's track team seems well on course to defending its Big Eight Conference indoor championship title. The Jayhawks already have seven competitors and a mile relay team qualified for the NCAA championships and haven't lost in two conference meets. But now KU Coach Rob Timmons says he is mere concerned about the chokekia Cerberaukers momentum that has been created by Big Eight. The Jayhawks face the Cornhaskers in a dual meet Saturday in Lincoln. The meet starts with field events at 1:30 p.m. The Jayhawks easily captured first place in a triangular meet against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State Friday at Allen Field House, but the Cornell team won a triangular, over Kansas State and Southern Illinois, on Saturday. Timmons said he was surprised by the Cornhuskers' success in the meet. NEBRASKA POLE-VAULTER Mark Newton vaulted 17-4% to take a Big Eight "LAST WEEK'S WIN by Nebraska over K-State and Southern Illinois was kind of a surprise to me," he said, "a big surprise to me, really." record in the TFA meet and won the national race. He was also named a national meet. After the dual with the “It's an important meet for us,” he said. “That's the site of the Big Eight. You really need to get down some good performance to see that’s where we’ll have to do it later.” Timmons said he didn't expect the Jets to have an easy time in Lincoln. Mike Ricks, defending national champion in the indoor 600-yard run, Junior Joe Staub, who set a school record with a toss of 7-9 in the shot-plot, snatched down the shot more than 59 feet in each of the Cornhousers' three meets this year. Although the Cornhuskers may not have as much balance as the Jayhawks, several Nebraska contenders were impressive in last week's triangular and at the Track and Field Association meet in Kansas City, Mo. Timmons is looking for more Jayhawks to qualify for March's national meet. After the dual with the Cormuskers, KU has only two meets left before the conference championships Feb. 27-28 in Lincoln. said he wanted to qualify against the Cornhuskers. "I THINK I CAN do that this weekend," he said. "I think we're going to do pretty good, as usual," he said. "We've got a pretty good squad this year. I know they had a pretty good team last year, but I don't think they can match up with us." "WE'VE JUST GOT some areas where we're thin, and that makes it really rough in a dual," he said. However, Timmons will not convince the Jayhawks will dominate the meet. Mike Ricks Both swim teams to face Arkansas By JIMSMALL Sports Writer The situation can be summarized like this: Arkansas enters this weekend's men's swim meet as a top contender for the national swimming title. Kansas has a 32 record and has lost two of its last three meets. Despite the talent difference, things still promise to be interesting when the Arkansas and Kansas men's swimming gauntlet go at it Saturday in Fayetteville, VT. All-American Jeff Spenser leads a Razorback attack which according to KU Coach Bill Spahn, is strongest in short distance events. distance freestyle. I think we could win if we do well in the distance events." The Razorbacks are good, but they are not unbeatable, Spain said. "THEY are a very good team, very strong, especially in the shorter events. Spahn said. "They 40-meter race they set an American record this winter." "Our strong events right now are the distance events," he said. "We are also good in the breast and backstroke, the 200 individual medley and the 200 fly KU will be led by co-captain Steve Graves, who Spahn said was the strongest swimmer on the team. Graves, who won two individual events in a meet with Minnesota last week, scored well in the 100 breaststroke final. In that event at the NCAA championships last year. After the meet in Arkansas, the Jayhawks will return home to face Nebraska next weekend in a match that starts on the March 5-7 Big Eight Championship. "I think that it will come down between us and Nebraska for the Big Eight championship," Spahn said. "I think that we have better swimmers, but they are stronger in diving. There is no team in the conference that can come near them in diving. I just hope that we can offset that with our swimming." THE KU WOMEN'S swim team will also be in Fayetteville Saturday to face Arkansas, but the women should have an easier time of it.

"We want the girls to swim in one event that they are strong in and then two events that they may not be quite as strong in," Kempit said. In addition to freshman Jerny Wagstaff and sophomore Mary Kary Fitzgerald, Kempf singled out freshman Barb Rutford and sophomores Ann Harvath and Jeremy Arboo as keys to the Jayhawks are replaying as Big Eight champs.
