Some people have said that K-State coach Tex Winter acts as "cheerleader" for the Manhattan crowd by his antics on the bench. He is continually on and off the bench shouting at his players, visiting players, officials and just about everyone except the boy who sells the popcorn. (We've never seen him yell at the pop corn vendor at least.)
Winter had made news just one week previous to the KU game when he and Missouri coach Sparky Stalcup exchanged words at the Wildcat-Tiger contest.
Winter Started Early
Winter started his antics early in the KU game, jumping up and walking onto the court when a foul was called on forward Bob Boozer. One of the officials promptly stepped up and gave Winter directions for finding his seat. The directions weren't followed and the Wildcats were assessed a technical which went over with the K-State fans like a lead balloon. Winter still wasn't satisfied but after taking the floor once more he sat down and remained there.
Differences must have been resolved by halftime since Winter was walking back to the court for the second half with his arm around the official who had charged him with the technical.
Winter was overheard after the game complaining about someone "pointing the finger at him." What Winter seemed to be saving was that someone had forewarned the officials to expect trouble from him. This is surprising because his past incidents had received enough publicity that anyone in the sports world would be cognizant of his actions.
We know of one source who has seen both Cincinnati and Kansas State when they've played and he is determined to stick with Cincinnati over the Wildcats. He said he doesn't see how the Big Eight's representatives can possibly stop the nation's top scorer, Oscar Robertson.
This source says Robertson can hit from just about everywhere except the third row in the balcony. However, the source said, if Robertson were to try it, he was fairly sure he could hit at least 50 per cent from there.
Robertson was observed at the Wichita game and those who follow Cincinnati say this was not one of their better games. Robertson scored
50 points, hitting 15 out of 21 field goal attempts and 20 out of 21 free throws.
Hones Ride With K-State
Still we're keeping our fingers crossed that Winter can get his boys out of the doldrums in time for the tip-off Friday night. It would look pretty good for KU if the Wildcats go ahead and win the national title. If the Wildcats are to go ahead and win, the Jayhawkers can look with pride to their 61-44 romp over the melted Manhattanites.
It's real irony that the squad that ran circles around the number one team in the nation ends up towards the bottom of the top ten teams in the nation.
That's the way the ball bounces.
