Brown says 'Hawks NCAA-bound KU downs O-State 75-58
By JEFF CRAVENS Sports Editor
Larry Brown said that his Kansas Jayhawks had wrapped up a berth in the NCAA tournament after their 75-8 victory over Oklahoma State last night in the opening round of the Big Eight Conference Post-Season Tournament.
"I counted the team's records from around the country, and I don't think there is any way we won't make it now," Brown said. "Nineteen wins is substantial, and we lost to some pretty good teams."
"We were 17-9 when I was at UCLA,
and we made it and it was only a
48-tune field then. I thought we had a
chance even if we lost tonight."
Brown did not have to worry about the Jayhawks losing last night. After the Cowboys jumped out to an early 7-lead, KU came roaring back to take the lead at 10-9 on a Calvin Thompson jump. The Jayhawks never trailed after that.
"I WAS SCARED to death about this game," Brown said. "When Case (OSU guard Winfried) hit that first jumper, I was a bit surprised, but I we scored ever time we needed to."
Doing most of the scoring, especially in the second half, was Carl Henry, who was named to the All-Big Eight first team on Monday. Henry ended his career in Allen Field House with 23 points and seven rebounds. He made 10-of-15 shots from the field after missing his first three shots.
"I had a pretty good game," Henry said. "I started slow. I was letting the action come to me, but they ran a zone of shots, a couple of jump shots and I was OK."
Brown said, "I looked back, and since we started Big Eight, there have only
been two games when he hasn't played up to his potential."
HENRY, KELLY KNIGHT, Brian Martin and Tim Banks played their final home game in front of a sparse but browstone crowd of 5,800 fans.
"This was the last game in Allen Field House for all of the seniors and I know I was emotionally up for the game." Knight said. "I was thinking that it has been a long five years. I think now it's time to move on to something else."
Martin, who fouled out with 16 minutes, 50 seconds remaining in Saturday's game against OSU, blocked three shots and had two steals, all in the
"I think it being my last game had a lot to do with it," Martin said. "Plus the fusco on Saturday. I wanted to prove to prove that that I could play without fearing."
Led by Henry and point guard Mark Turgeon, who each had eight points, KU opened up a 29-18 lead. After OSU's Bill Self hit a jump shot, the Jayhawks held the ball for one shot. The Cowboys knocked the ball loose, but KU's Ron Kellogg picked it up and calmly sank a 30-foot jump shot with time running out, giving the Jayhawks a 31-20 lead at halftime.
THE KU ZONE defense limited Oklahoma State's leading scorers, Joe Atkinson and Raymond Crenshaw, each to two points in the first half. Atkinson had 25 points Saturday, Crenshaw 18.
"I thought we did a tremendous job on Atkinson and Crenshaw in the first half," Brown said. "I thought that was important coming into the game."
Henry and center Greg Dreiling combined for the Jayhawks first nine games.
and OSU center Shawn Baker kept the Cowboys to within 12 at 42-30.
Calvin Thompson then provided the crowd with the most exciting sequence of the game with back-to-back alleyway increases in increasing the Jayhawk lead to 16.
"Those two slam dunks, they really got the crowd into it," OSU coach Paul
THOMPSON FINISHED WITH 13 points, but saw his streak of consecutive free throws snapped at 33 with a miss in the first half.
Oklahoma State's Charles Williams hit two free throws, then Knight, Henry and Banks all scored to give KU its biggest lead at 54-36 with 10-46
Both teams traded baskets the rest of the way. Brown pulled Knight and Henry out with 1:36 left in front of a standing ovation.
"I felt a lot better going off because I
told the season is not over," said
Knight.
"Coach had already said that we wouldn't accept an NIT bid, so we knew if we lost, it would be our last game. And we had no intention of losing."
MARTIN FINISHED HIS career in
Arizona with four points and five re-
bounds.
"It was really an eerie feeling walking off the court and looking back one last time," he said. "I want to somehow thank the great fans."
The Jayhawks will face the winner of tonight's Nebraska-Kansas State game Friday night in Kemper Arena. That game is at 3 p.m. following the Oklahoma game.

"You have to go with the league champion as the favorite," Hansen said. "But Oklahoma won't have the court advantage in Kansas City."

The Jayhawks finished the season with a record of 11-15, their worst in seven years. Oklahoma, 21-7, advances to the semifinals of the tournament at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., where the Sooners will take on Kansas State. The Wildcats defeated Iowa State 86-60 last night in Manhattan.
The Jayhawks jumped to an early lead, but Oklahoma took the lead at 4:3 with 17:06 left in the first half and never trailed after that. The Sooners led 40-21 at the half and stretched their lead to 21 points at one point in the second half
Kansas played a good part of the game without its leading scorer, five-foot-10 senior Angie Snider. Snider sprained an ankle with 17 minutes, 21 seconds left in the game and was unable to return. She scored four points, her season low.
The Kansas women's basketball team had its season brought to an abrupt finish last night when the Jayhawks lost 76-63 to Oklahoma at Norman in the opening round of the Big Ten Conference Post-Season Tournament.
Washington substituted throughout the game, sometimes replacing live players.
"I was very proud of the fact that our players never gave up," KU head coach Mike O'Neill said.
Vickie Adkins, the leading KU scorer in conference play, led the Jayhawks with 17 points. Barbara Adkins added 14 points and Mary Myers scored 12.
Washington started 6-2 freshman Renea Page in place of Myers and moved Snider to guard. Page led the Jayhawks in rebounds with a career-high 11 and tied her career high in scoring with 11 points.
Kansas outscored Oklahoma from the field but made only nine of 20 free throws, compared to 26-of-36 free throw shooting for Oklahoma. Oklahoma outshot KU from the field, 48 percent to 40 percent.
