Hot Michigan State Attack Melts Icy Hawks, 81-62
KU's shooting was just about as cold as the sub-freezing weather outside Saturday night as the Jayhawkers were trounced by Michigan State at East Lansing. 81-62.
KU got 17 more shots from the field than did the Spartans, but managed to hit only 26 of 87 during the game, just less than a 30 per cent shooting average.
Meanhile the hot-shooting Michigan State, led by Pete Gent and Marcus Sanders, canned better than 44 per cent of their shots from the floor with 31 hits in 70 attempts.
Just as important a cause for the Spartan's first win of the season (they had previously lost to Kansas State and Notre Dame) was a seventime KU scoring drouth which came at the end of the first half and the beginning of the last.
During this period, the Spartans exploded for 17 straight points while holding the Hawkers scoreless after KU had knotted the score at 29-all with just better than five minutes left to play in the first half.
Kansas had led only once in the game, 2-0, before tying the score on a long fielder by Dave Schichtle and two close-in shots by George Unseld with 5:24 remaining. Unseld's basket was
the last Hawker tally until 18:22 remained in the second half.
Tommy Douglas and Sanders each contributed five points as the Spartans broke the 29-29 tie and marched to a commanding 40-29 intermission lead. Those two added six more points at the outset of the second half for a 46-29 lead before Unseld finally took the lid off the KU basket with a hook shot.
But the Jayhawkers could never come close to Coach Forddy Anderson's charges again, as MSU had a 20-point margin, at 77-57, with two minutes remaining to play in the game.
And KU was not only cold from the field. Free throws and rebounds also proved to be icy Nemeeses to Dick Harp's struggling crew. The Spartans hit 19 of 25 free throws compared to KU's 10 of 19, and MSU, led by 6-2 Bill Berry's 14 rebounds, also whipped KU in that department. 67-52.
Individually, Gent and Sanders paced MSU's attack with 22 and 20 points respectively, while Nolen Ellison hit 16 and Unseld 13 for the Jayhawkers.
KU's loss to the Spartans was their second in three games. The Hawks won their opener against Montana, 68-56, but dropped an overtime contest to Arkansas, 64-62.

Wyoming Faces Hawks Tonight
The Kansas Jayhawkers will try to even their won-lost mark at 2-2 tonight when they tangle with the lanky Wyoming Cowboys in Allen Field House. Tipoff time is 7:30.
Height will definitely give the Cowboys the advantage. Wyoming's starting front line of forwards Gary Mekelberg (6-8) and Randy Richardson (6-4), and center Al Eastland (6-8), who averaged 16.1 points a game last season, should press the Jayhawker rebounding corps to its limit.
But most of the Cowboys' offensive firepower should come from the backcourt, in 6-1 sophomore guard Flynn Robinson. Robinson scored 33 points against nationally-ranked

Wichita University before the Cowboys fell in an overtime, 83-72. He hit seven of seven from the free throw line and 13 of 22 from the field.
Wyoming coach Bill Stranigan, formerly of Iowa State, calls Robinson "the best guard I've ever had" — and he had a good one, All-American Gary Thompson, playing for him at Iowa State five years ago.
KU, which dropped an 81-62 decision to Michigan State Saturday, will probably start with Jim Dumas (6-2) and Harry Gibson (6-3) at forwards, George Unseld (6-7) at center, and Nolen Ellison (6-1) and Dave Schichtle (6-2) at guards. Ellison and Unseld are the team's top scoreers, averaging 15.7 and 14.7, respectively.
