North Carolina's first ranked Tar Heels played only two teams ranked in the top 20 this season.
What's in a schedule? Some people say quite a lot. For instance, many fans, sportswriters and coaches say Kansas should have been ranked the nation's No. 1 team because the Jayhawkers played tougher teams.
This particular argument is like a circle, there's no way out. It's one man's opinion against the other's.
But what is in a schedule? A quick look at the final Associated Press poll shows that Kansas played and defeated four teams in the top 20, SMU, Oklahoma City, California, and Oklahoma. A & M. The Jayhawkers also lost one game to the Aggies.
Friday and Saturday nights in Kansas City, however, will settle all arguments. There the true champion will be crowned and no one will be able to deny it.
Kansas also split a two-game series with Iowa State. unranked in the AP poll but in the top 20 of other major polls.
San Francisco played three top ranked teams. The Dons defeated California (ranked 13th) twice, 70-56 and 50-46. They downed Seattle (fifth) 57-23, and Idaho State (16th) 66-61 in the NCAA playoffs.

A strong second half has enabled the Jayhawkers to compile a 23-2 record and just recently enabled them to win the Western regional championship.
Strong Second Half A Kansas Basketball Trait This Season
KU's latest second half uprising occurred in Saturday night's game against Oklahoma City University. The Jayhawkers fought on even terms with the Chiefs during the first half and led only 27-24 at intermission. But a second half rally, ignited by an anti-Kansas crowd, enabled the Jayhawkers to pull away to an easy 81-61 victory.
One of Best Second Halfs
One of Best Second Halus This recent performance was one of the best halves KU has played all season, but it was not the first time the Jayhawkers have been forced to rally to win.
Before the conference season even opened, the Jayhawkers trailed California on their western swing, 33-25 at halftime. A late rally gave the Kansans a 66-56 win over the team San Francisco defeated to gain the right to enter the NCAA finals. The Jayhawkers meet the Dons tonight in Kansas City.
A determined Iowa State squad journeyed to Lawrence to play a crucial game which would send the winner atop the Big Seven standings. The Cyclones used a slow offense to gain a 38-31 intermission lead but a good over-all team play in the second half gave KU a 75-64 win.
In a game which would insure the Jayhawkers a sure tie in the final Big Seven standings, KU traveled to Colorado, but found themselves trailing at half-time. 37-27. KU roared back to tie the Buffaloes 39-39 shortly after the second half opened, then pulled away to a 68-57 victory.
Trailed by Ten at Boulder
CURRENT GENERATION
In the game KU needed to insure the conference championship, the Jayhawkers led by only two points at half-time, against the K-State Wildcats in Manhattan, but in the second half opened up to win a 64-57 victory.

DICK HARP
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP) — College basketball coaches today had all but killed most of the one-and-one free throw rule in efforts to "halt the parade to the free throw line."
Coaches Modify Free Throw Rule
The coaches, at their 31st annual convention, voted 77-23 yesterday to adopt a modification of the rule along lines used in the Big Ten Conference this past season.
Under that setup the one-and-one applies only after a team has committed six fouls in each half. Research showed that it usually was 13 to 15 minutes before teams committed six fouls, and since a half lasts 20 minutes, this would do away with the one-and-one for about three-fouths of the game.
NEW YORK - (UP) Dick Heise, who topped George Mikan's De Paul University scoring record, has been selected to play with the college basketball all-stars against the Harlem Globetrotters at Madison Square Garden, March 31. Heise averaged 24.3 points per game this season, beating Mikan's mark of 23.2.
