Kansas' Dave Robisch tossed in 31 points to lead the error-prone Jayhawks to a 76-60 victory over an even sloppier Wisconsin team last night in Allen Field House.
Both teams played spotty ball, committing numerous turnovers and shooting poorly. For the third straight game KU had over 20 turnovers, this time committing 23; the Badgers made 17.
The game was closer than the final score might indicate as the 'Hawks had to withstand a furious Wisconsin rally in the second half. After jumping to a 41-24 halftime lead, KU fought off the Badgers when they closed to within seven points at 62-55 with only 6:44 to play.

Three of his layups were off the fast break after he had stolen the ball, and the crowd of 10,000 cheered wildly at the quickness of the 6-3 junior forward. Russell also went high on the boards to snatch 13 rebounds.

The schedule doesn't let up for KU as they face two tough road games, Chicago Loyola this Saturday and Notre Dame the following Monday, before returning home to host the first Jayhawk Classic, Dec. 19 and 20.
Kansas hit on 49 per cent of their free throws. Robisb boosted their percentage at the charity stripe with a 13 for 15 effort.
Sophomore Aubrey Nash was impressive in a starting role as he hit six of seven field goals and finished with 14 points. He was guilty of four turnovers but handled the ball more than anyone else, dribbling out of Wisconsin's press with ease several times.
"We made 22 more turnovers than we should have made. We were simply in such a hurry that it forced us to turnover. And then in the second half we got too cautious trying to protect that lead," he said.
