The Kansas basketball season opens its second semester schedule tonight, as the Jayhawks face the Iowa State Cyclones in Hoch auditorium. With both squads holding a victory over each other, each will be battling to take the final contest of the season between the two.
Providing a scoring thorn in the Jayhawk defense will be sophomore Gary Thompson, who holds a 15.5 average against KU in the two previous games. Of this 31-point total, all but two of Thompson's points have been scored in the second half.
Thompson's cool free throwing in the clutch gave Iowa State the first victory in the Big Seven pre-season tournament, when he tallied four consecutive free throws for the 82 to 81 Cyclone victory. At Ames, Thompson duplicated this feat, only to be foiled by KU's Bill Brainard, who added a final charity toss for the 73 to 72 Kansas victory. At present Thompson holds a conference average of 16.5 to lead the Big Seven sophomore group.
Holding a 27-point average against KU, center Chuck Duncan will be the main scoring threat against the Jayhawks. He posted 34- and 20-point totals in the two previous meetings. Duncan's average against KU is three points above his league average of 23.6 through the first seven games.
Looking at the overall picture, Iowa State rests one notch below the Jayhawks in conference and all-game standing. In the Big Seven, Kansas is in fifth place with a one
victory and three losses. The Cyclones stand 1-7. In the total season play, KU has a 6-5 record, Iowa State 7-9.
The Iowa State lineup remains the same for tonight's game as the starting five which faced KU in the two earlier contests. Kansas will open with only one change. Bill Brainard will start in place of Maurice King.
On the defensive side, Kansas probably will continue to use its half-court press despite the success of the new zone defense the Jayhawks unveiled on their road trip North last semester.
A battle on the front line can be expected as KU's Dallas Dobbs will be up against the Cyclones' Thompson. Dobbs is fifth in the conference, with a 16.7 mark, just ahead of Thompson who claims the No. 6 scoring position.
