Women rally to beat Bulldogs
By DAVE McQUEEN Sports Writer
Angie Sniper didn't like what she was seeing. While she sat on the bench during the second half of the KU women basketball team's game against Drake, she watched as the Builds out-scored haywails 10-2 in the 5-minute period.
"We weren't setting up and we couldn't get inside." Snider said. "Somebody had to do something."
SNIDER BECAME that somebody.
The 5-foot-10 guard scored eight points in the final three minutes, including two free throws with nine seconds left, to give the Knicks a 24-13 victory in a dawn in-to-the-wire game Saturday night at Allen Field House.
The two teams were never more than two or three points apart until midway through the second half when Drake went on a scoring binge. When Bulldog forward Jan Krieger hit a 22-foot jump shot to put Drake up by seven, 54-47, KU coach Marian Washington called a time out.
Tracy Claxton hit six straight points, all from the lane, to make the score 54-53. As has been the case in every game, the Rangers led KU in scoring with 22 points.
Then things started to change. Drake's 2-1-2 zone defense, which had been giving the Jayhawks fits all night forcing them out outside, suddenly became irreversible.
**THEN SNIDER got into the act.** With 3:47 left to play, she sank the first two of her six free throws to tie the game at 59. After Connie Newlin popped a 25-footer with a buoyant kick, but Sneder was buoied again and put in two more free throws to tie the game.
Snider finally gave the Jayhawks the lead for good when she hit a 12-foot layup with 1:02 left to make it 65-63. Secondates later she scored again, this time hitting the stone on an errant Drake pass and passed the ball to her to make the score 67-63.
But it was far from over. After center Shyra Holden went in for a wide-open layup to put KU up by six, Drake struck again, this time getting four straight points to bring them back within two, 69-67, with 25 seconds left to play. Then with nine seconds left, Drake's intimidating 6-3 center Lorri Bauman fouled Snider, sending her to the line for two crucial shots.
"I HAD TO make them," Snider said of the free throws. "I knew I had to concentrate and have confidence in myself."
Snider did make those freethrows, making her a perfect six for six from the line. The dribble did hit one more basket, but it was too late.
Drake head coach Carole Baumgartner said the turning point of the game was when Drake couldn't hold onto its lead.
Lakers defeat Kansas City
"We had a seven-point lead but we couldn't stretch it," Baumgarten said. "I don't think KU took it from us; Drake gave it to them."
By United Press International
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Forward Jaamaal Wikler scored his 10,000 career point last night in helping the Tampa Bay Bucs win 106 victory over the Kansas City Kings.
for the Pacific Division-leading Lakers and the eighth in 10 outings under new Coach Pat Riley.
The victory was the 15th in 21 games
Guard Magic Johnson led a balanced Los Angeles attack with 22 points.
Robinson led Kansas City with 21 points and King had 19. King scored 13 of his total in the third period.
There is a lot of truth to that statement. Drake practically gave the game away at the line. While the Jayhawks hit eight of seven free throws in the second half, Drake could only hit seven of twelve.
THE SUCCESS at the stripe came as a big relief for Washington, especially after her team could only sink two of eight free throws the first half.
"When she (Snider) hit those free throws, I tell you . . . " Washington said, laughing. "We really needed them in the game, but we free throws at all in the first half."
Washington said the thing that was hurting the Jayhawks the most, besides earlier lack of freethrow shooting and Drake's zone, is Bulldog center Baumann, who unstoppable, abrebing 28 points and rebinding 13 rebounds, both game highs.

Besides Claxton's 22 points, two other Jayhawks scored in double figures. Snider scored 16 points and led the team in assists with four. Shyra Holden came off the bench to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds. The freshman forward, surprised everyone by scoring nine points in just 18 minutes of play.
"Our youth is probably our biggest challenge," Washington said. "I'm real proud of them. They didn't give up."

the final day. The 3-2, will play
Illinois State tomorrow.
Washington said. "If she wasn't scoring, she was drawing fouls."
While the Jayhawks did have a lot of problems against the zone, which held their shooting down to 42 percent, the team attributed most of it to inexperience.
