Victory over Sooners in Big 8 final highlights week
The Kansas Jayhawks and Coach Larry Brown might have felt helpless against Wake Forest. The feeling was even worse as the team's exciting week of the KU basketball
season and not having a paper to write for.
Ron Kellogg hit a jump shot with 41
hitless left to provide the final margin.
The highlight was a week ago Saturday, when the Jayhawks upset Oklahoma 79-78 to win the Big Eight Conference Post-Season Tournament.
When Kellogg, who missed his first three shots from the field, rose up for the 18-foot baseline shot, the thousands of KU fans groaned in unison, then cheered when it swished through the net.
The play was one of many unconscious shots Kellogg made throughout the season. He scored 12 points in the final eight and won the Corn State Titans' next round KU victory.
"Sometimes it's good when I put Ronnie in the game, because he doesn't know the score or how much time is left." Brown said at a press conference
The Sooners continued their high-class ways after losing to KU. Center Wayman Tisdale laid on the floor doing his imitation of Baby Huey after the
final gun. Coach Billy Tubbs complains about Tidale playing with two 250-pound men on his shoulders and the other 100-pound men were the turning points in the game.
Yes, the Sooners can say they show class. win or lose.
The KU players did not cut down the nets after claiming the tournament. It was just another way of giving the team a chance to play every team in the conference would echo.
Speaking of Oklahoma, the Sooners first-round loss against Dayton cost the conference $400,000 in revenue. KU's loss to Wake Forest also was worth the same amount, which is what every team in the regional semifinals receive.
In the OU-Dayton game, Tisdale supposedly suppressed his ankle after missing a shot when the Sooners were behind. He came back to play, and the
pain seemed to come and go. When Tisdale score, he was fine, but when Dayton's Roosevelt Chapman scored another two of his 41 points over the All-American, the limp would suddenly become visible again.
The 22-10 record for the Jayhawks marked the third time in three seasons that Brown has guided a college team to the magic 20-victory plate. Brown has never coached a team with a losing record before the college or professional ranks.
Brown again showed who was the boss in Lincoln, sending guard Mike Marshall home after Marshall acted up in practice on Saturday.
"I thought he was better off in Lawrence under the circumstances," Brown said. "He wasn't doing the job, he asked of our players in practice."
Marshall was quoted in Sports Illustrated as saying, "You either do it coach Brown's way or it's Trailways." Marshall also called the Trailways route back to Lawrence.
Despite hitting only 11-of-27 shots from the field in the NCAA tournament, Carl Henry became KU's career leader in shooting percentage with a mark of 54.95 percent. Ken Koenings held the old mark at 53.2 percent. Kelly Knight also surpassed Koenings record, shooting 54.6 percent.
Brown said Saturday that he was doing everything he could to get Henry back.
"I've talked Carl up to every NBA scout I see." Brown said. "He has the best work ethic of any player we have. He counts on every day to work on his game and learn."
Freshman point guard Mark Turgeon, who looked like a little kid seeking autographs at the NCAA headquarters in Lincoln, set a Kirkland record of 18 in 25 games. He broke Darnell Vuille's record of 130 in 29 games.
Calvin Thompson, who was on the receiving end of many Turgon passes, ended the season with 12 consecutive games in double figures. He scored 31 points in two games in the NCAA while hitting 14-of-21 shots.
In case you missed it over the break, Lawrence High School, despite the presence of All-American Danny Manning, lost to Kansas City Wyandotte in the finals of the 6A Kansas High School Championships, 50-49. Manning, who will play for KU next season, had 20 points in his final high school game.
Deacons eliminate KU in 69-59 NCAA victory

LINCOLN, Neb. — His career at the University of Kansas had just ended, and Carl Henry was not happy. Not only had the Jayhawks been eliminated from the NCAA tournament by a 69-59 loss to Wake Forest, but Henry had scored but 10 points.
It wasn't quite the way Henry had envisioned his career advance. Just one week before, Henry had scored 30 points as the Jayhawks had upset Oklahoma and won the Big Eight Conference Post-Season Tournament.
"We just didn't play our game, and I didn't get the ball," Henry said. "The first half, we had the game. I guess I just frustrated myself. The ball just didn't come to me at all. It could be the defense, but the main reason was we had a couple of guys who didn't listen to what coach said."
Despite hitting the game-winning shot against Alcorn State in KU's first-round NCAA game, Henry had struggled in the tournament. Against Alcorn, he hit two of 11 shots in the first half.
Henry was not the only KU player unhappy after the loss to Wake Forest. The Jayhawks watched, almost helplessly, as the Demon Daceons ran their delay game to perfection over the last five minutes of the game and advanced to the Midwest Regional semifinals against DePaul on Friday.
"Every team we've played has been quicker than us, and we've been able to adjust," KU guard Mark Turgeon said. "We got out of control, especially in the second half, and we took too many quick shots."
"Needless to say, we are disappointed," KU coach Larry Brown said. "But you have to give Wake a lot of help; they got the lead, they were patient."
KU led 32-31 at halftime, hitting 61.5 percent of its shots in the first half, but Wake Outout outscored the Jayhawks and scored their second half and took the lead for good.
KU' did close to within two at 47-45 with 13 minutes, 12 seconds left on a layup by senior in Banks. KU' moved into the upper next five minutes, putting the game away.
"The delay game went well," Deacon coach Carl Tacy said, "we handled the ball really well. You have to be able to get things done when you do something like that."
The difference in the game came at the foul line where Wake Forest hit 13 of
19 shots. KU only got to the line twice, hitting one.
when you don't go to the foul line,
that means you are not going in
before the ball is hit.
Kelly Knight led KU with 12 points and eight rebounds. Calvin Thompson added 11, and Henry and center Greg Drelling each had 10. Ken Green led Wake Forest with 20 points and 15 rebounds. They added 13 points and 15 rebounds.
Knight, although he wanted to win, said he was glad the game wasn't that bad.
"It was frustrating, but after seeing so many games go down to the wire in this tournament, I had to take the minutes knowing you're going late than to lose in the last second."
Wake Forest, led by Teachey, outrebounded KU 34-27 despite being outsized by the KU front line. The Deacons dominated the boards in the second half, gaining an 18-9 edge in rebounds.
Besides Henry, senior Knight,
Banks and Martin all ended their
debut with Kith.
"They are both fine players inside." Dreiling said of Green and Teachey, "With their strength and quickness they can jump real well. They may not have a 7-footer on the floor, but they play really big."
"I feel fortunate that I got to coach me," Kelly, Brian and Timmy," Brown said.
The feeling was mutual with the players.
"I feel very fortunate to play a year under coach Brown." Knight said. "He gets along with the players and makes them want to play for him."
In their first round game, the Jayhawks fell behind Alcorn 30-19 at halftime before winning 57-66 on Henry's shot. Ron Kellogg scored 12 points in the final eight minutes, leading the KU comeback.
"We feel very fortunate to come away with a win." Brown said after the game. "We were outcoached and we were and trouble adjusting to their quickness."
Henry, as he had done against the Nebraska Cornhuskers earlier this season in Lincoln, hit the winning shot. Kellogg missed a shot from the corner, but he tipped the ball to Henry who scored with 13 seconds left. Alcorn got off two shots in the final seconds, but could not get either to fall.
"The ball fell short and one of their players went up for the rebound," Kellogg said about the last shot. "I saw a lot of it, and I got it." It. Carl grabbed it and put it back in.
