KU shocks OU with 55-53 victory Bv GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Writer The Kansas Jayhawks put it all together Saturday. All this added up to a Kansas upset over the Oklahoma Sooners, 55-33, before a wild crowd of 11,108 at Allen State and a regional television audience. They held the top-scoring team in the country to just 33 points; held the top scorer in the Big Eight, Wayman Tisdale, to his lowest point output in his college career; and they turned the ball over just five times. "This is a sweet win," said Kerry Boagni in the joyous KU locker room. At Missouri, we proved to ourselves that our team can win and we got it. Now we're on a roll. Neither team led by more than four points during the first half. OU led at the half, 31-29. Two keys for the Jayhawks in the opening half were the KU's Joakim Boajam on David Little and KU's play on freshman sensation Tisdale. THE JAYHAWKS played their best overall game of the season. They needed it to overcome their own poor defense, but they were defended by which hung tough throughout the game. "Kerry did a great job on Little early and our defense was excellent, escheduled practice coach Ted Owens. "We wanted to win so bad in the opening half that we were taking shots that were about three feet out of our range. "In the second half, we came back with stability on offense and we went down." IN THE SECOND half, the Jayhawks scored the first seven points to take a 36-31 lead. Then Little, who was held to three points in the open half, caught fire. He scored OU's first 14 points in the second half and single-handedly brought the Sooners back into the game to tie the contest at 45. With 5:42 left and the game tied at 51, KU called a time out and went into its delay game to pull Oklahoma out of its zone defense. The strategy paid off as KU scored a ball until 2:49 of the half when a foul was called on KU Bo Overtime. "We start to think about going to the stall earlier when Oklahoma was in the zone." Owens said. "When the game stayed even we made our mind up that we might not have control of the game again so we went to the delay." AFTER OVERTON's defense, OU played a man-to-man foul with 54 seconds left in the game. Little fouled and two threes, both free throws to put KU in the lead. OU called a time out, then tried to get the ball to Little, who had 18 points for The Jayhawks countered with Ron Kellogg, KU's defensive specialist, and Jason Garrett, who prevented Kellogg preventedOU from getting the ball to Little. Chuckie Barnett missed a shot with 12 seconds left. Knight rebounded the miss and passed to the opposing team. "I just watched him as close as possible and didn't let him get the ball." Kellogg said. "I just went out and did the best_job I could." **THEN THOMPSON, who suffered through a two-for-11 shooting night, went to the line and hit two more free throws to increase the KU lead to four points.** Oklahoma got a basket from Jan Pannell to close the gap, but then Knight threw an inbounds pass to Thompson, who crudled the ball for a second, then tossed it into the air as time ran out. "I was just really pleased," said "it's a great feeling to contribute." The Jayhawks shot just 37 percent from the field in the second half, but outbounded Oklahoma 21-16. He also hit six of eight free throws and turned the ball over just once in the second half. That's right — once — for the Jayhawks, who have been averaging 17 turnovers a game. EVEN THE LOW total of turnovers may not have been enough had it not been for KU's coverage of Tisdale, who was held to 12 points, Knight, who was held to 9 points, Rebounds, rebounds, played in front of Tisdale and the rest of the team helped out. "I noticed in the second half he was 'really down on himself,' Knight said. "Every time they managed to get the ball over my head to him, there was another player from our team there to help out." While the Jayhawks celebrated in their locker room, the Sooners were upset that they let a chance of gaining ground on Missouri go by the wayide. Little said of the Jayhawks. "They don't know how to play," she adds. "There's just no comparison in talent." HENRY, WHO had a personal Big Eight high of 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, just smiled after hearing of Little's statement. "I'm sure Little was frustrated and mad. If we played them again, though. "We earned this game." Henry said. "All season long we said that if we put a 40-minute game together, we would be all right. Today, we put it together. Kansas, 2-8 in the league and 10-13 overall, will travel Wednesday to Ames, Iowa, to take on the Iowa State Cyclones.
