One-Eyed Bandit Robs KU in Thriller 64-62
By Ben Marshall
Arkansas' Tom Boyer may have only one good eye, but last night it was good enough to guide the Razorbacks to a 64-62 overtime victory over a fighting band of KU Jayhawkers.
Boyer, who has only partial vision in his left eye, hit Arkansas' come-from-behind basket that knotted the score at 56-all and threw the game into the overtime. Then he came back in the extra period to add the Razorbacks' final go-ahead fielder in the waning seconds.
The 6-6 junior forward, who set a new one-season NCAA free throw accuracy record last year at 93.3 per cent while averaging 16.8 points per game, wound up as the contest's top scorer with 21 points.
BUT ARKANSAS was lucky to escape on the long end of the score in their season's opener.
The Jayhawkers, sparked by ball-hawking guards Nolen Ellison and Dave Schichtle, had Coach Glen Rose's Hogs on the ropes all night long.
This alert backcourt twosome was responsible for some 11 steals, and at the same time, pumped in a combined total of 26 points to share KU's offensive honors with Harry Gibson and George Unseld. Ellison and Schichtle scored 17 and 10 points, respectively, while Gibson and Unseld netted 13 apiece.
The Hawkers, trailing by as many as nine points in parts of the contest, made a habit of chasing Arkansas down all night long. But KU,trailing 38-34 at the halftime intermission, did not warm
things up for the Porkers until midway through the second half.
THE JAYHAWKERS were trailing by eight, 44-36, when they caught fire for the first time. Unseld banged home three quick fielders and Ellison added a pair of free throws to knot the score at 44-all.
KU then grabbed the lead for the first time since the opening minutes of the game when Schichtle and Ellison stole the ball, ripped off a two-on-one fast break, and Schichtle scored with 11:15 remaining in the game.
The Hawkers dropped behind again, momentarily, when Arkansas' Larry Hogue scored twice from the field, Boyer hit one, and Skippy Coffman added a free throw. But a 15-foot jump shot by Unseld, and Gibson's 20-footer narrowed the gap to 51-50 with three minutes to play.
Ellison's free throw and Gibson's 25-foot set shot gave KU a two-point spread with 2:21 remaining to play, but 25 seconds later, the Porkers' Larry Woolford tied the score again at 53-all with a tip.
ELLISON THEN HIT a long jump shot and a free throw which seemingly put the game on ice for the Jayhawkers-a three-point lead with only 32 seconds to go.
However, a free throw by Hogue narrowed the margin to two points, and set the stage for Boyer's long one-hander with five seconds remaining that threw the thriller into an extra period.
Boyer's only two-pointer in the overtime period gave the Razorbacks a one-point margin at 61-60, a lead which the Razorbacks never relinquished.
