Week for forgetting loss lies ahead for Jayhawks
By LEON UNRUH
Snorts Editor
It's the one game that can be rehashed for
many purposes. It don't be much for table talk
mong the lawyer.
"Believe me, the Kentucky game is over with," forward Tony Guy said yesterday about KU's 67-66 defeat Saturday in Lexington, Ky.
"There's nothing we can do to get it back.
We can just look ahead and say, 'Hey, we can't think about the game we lost to Kentucky.'"

Another player, Brad Sanders, said, "The only time the Kentucky game will be brought up again will be to learn from the mistakes made by us."
In a night of play unsurpassed this season, the Jahayhans played nearly perfectly, but lost their first game in five. It was a single loss in two games for Kentucky, which stewed the 'Hawks.
It left No. 5 KU with its 10th loss to Kenckie in 11 games and blessed No. 10 leap for the Cup.
"IT WAS A HECK of a game," guard Darrell Allen alighted in look at the papers.
"It hurt. We should have won, but we didn't."
Kansas, which had led 35-28 at halftime,
maintained the lead through most of the second half. But KU went into a four-corner offense to reduce the effects of foul problems, and Kentucky whittled its way back to the game 96-54 as regulation ended.
The Jayhawks built a six-point lead with 31 seconds left in overtime, but Kentucky hit two baskets and two free throws to tie the game 66-66 with three seconds left. KU forward Mac Stallcup took the ball out of bounds and called for time.
So did at least two other Jayhawks. And it was granted, but KU had no more time to spend and was socked with a technical foul, Kentucky guard Kyle Macy hit the free throw, making 167-64, and the Wildcats ran out the clock.
STALCUP SIMPLY happened to be the only fawkhaw being watched by a referee.
"It was strictly instinct," Stallcup said of his request.
And Valentine, who together had 40 of KU's points, said it could have been any of them. "I think I will have to go," he
"If 'w was one no one's fault, " Guy said. "if anything, the whole team should have taken over."
Valentine said, "It was just like an immediate reaction on my part to call time out and tell me you're safe."
"We're not going to blame it on Mac, or on anybody else. It was a team loss."
Sanders put it succinctly. "The thing is, we lost. They didn't beat us; we lost."
AFTER THE GAME, head coach Ted Owens suggested that, by missing a Kentucky charging foul and a rim violation, the haden helped KU lose.
"If they had called the game the way they had until then," he said, "there would be celebrating in our dressing room. Those that were lucky enough to win it. It was an absolute crime they didn't."
KU will have a week to remember—or forget—the Kentucky game. The Jawhays won't play again until Saturday night, when he'll head back to Louisville, comes to Lawrence for an evening game.
But like any bad lesson, the Kentucky game will haunt Kansas for a while.
STALCUP, ONE OF two KU substitutes to play, said, "It will make us more determined. We played the game well enough to easily win. Once we take the court Saturday night, SMU will know they 've got a lot of game on their hands."
vaticentine, the game's hot hand with 27 points, said, "I'll take a lot of climbing to come back and use it as a springboard into the real season."
He didn't blame KU's youth--Mokeski was the only senior who played for the loss. After all, Kentucky had lost three starters to graduation.
"I think it would have hurt as much if we'd been 60," he said with a slight chuckle. "I felt like I was very young."

Swimmers split meets to Texas teams
Bill Spah, men's swim coach, said he was extremely disappointed with the team's performance against SMU.
The men's swim team beat the University of Texas-Arrlington Team Friday night at Arlington, 66-81, but got bolted out of the pool after a slow start. The Canyons lost by 49-70.
"I was very unhappy with the way we swarm, and I put the blame on the guys," Spain said. "They were not mentally prepared, and I didn't want to be."
SMU has been one of the top-ranked teams in the country for several years and, Spahn said, he knew KU probably could not defeat them. But he had hoped KU could challenge SMU in several areas.
Peter Baker-Arkema had the only second-place finish for KU—
13.68 out of 14.68. Out of the other events KU managed to third place finish,
and it was
"TT UPSETS me in that we should be looking past Big Eight competition and aiming at a higher level of competition," Spahn
Spain said the only good swimming was done by Dave Killen in the 1000-vard freestyle with a time of 9:50.
In the meet against Texas-Arlington, Spahn said, KU swam people in events that they normally don't swim.
"The meet was like I thought it could be if we weren't right on form," Spahn said. "We felt like we would probably able to be better."
