If you were among the 3,400 people who attended the annual Crimson and Blue intra-squid basketball game last night in Miami, you probably walked away confused.
At times, you saw a team that did things KU basketball teams haven't done the last two years. On occasion you saw a team that did something in the last flash, and shot well from outside.
At other times, you saw a team that
looked more familiar, one that forced shots and threw the ball away.
What you did see was a narrow 70-68 win for the White team, which was billed as "the best in the league."
"It hasn't been that close in our practice scrimmages," head coach Ted Owens said after the game. "We have been having close first halves in practice, but the first team usually has pulled out a 15-20 point win in the second half.

"I think everyone was a little tight tonight, especially the young players," he
Owens said he was pleased with the apparent depth in the squand and said that after reviewing the game films, he might make some changes in his starting lineup.
He said that the competition for starting jobs was particularly evident at forward. Owens thought the competition for starting herts was partly responsible for the team's
The competition for starting positions has created a lot of pressure, I hope.

ultimately, that they won't feel that pressure," he said.
If there was a bright sp of in the game, it was definitely the play of starting guard Zachary DeMarcus and guard Greenlee kept the White team in the game with his accurate shooting, mostly from outside. He hit 12 of 17 shots for a game-high 24 points and he also snared six
The game started with a rash of turnovers and forced shots. The White team didn't score until almost three minutes into the first quarter, as Lincoln, III, freshman, tipped in a rebound.
"GREENLEE FINISHED with four fine games last year," Owens said. "I think all he needed was confidence and he has that now."
The Blues were led in the first half by the scoring of its two six-foot-nine front-court men, Rick Suttle and Donnie Von Moe. Suttle, East St. Louis, III, junior, who led the squad in scoring last year, ended the half with 15 points at center, at center and Von Moe, Chicago freshmen, contributed 10 points, as well as blocking several shots from his forward position.
Neither team, however, could pull away to more than a four point lead as Greenlee kept pace with the inside scoring punch of the Blue team.
THE SECOND HALF was marked by some wide open basketball, accompanied by some fine individual play. But, Owens said he was not particularly pleased with the teams' execution of the fast break in the second half.
"We are in good condition, but we still lived in the second half and I think that is why we never want to go back."
The game was closest for most of the half, but with six minutes left to play, the White team appeared to finally find the scoring range. Consecutive baskets by Greenelee, Roger Morgatser, Dunee, III junior, and co-captain Kivisto, Aurora,

HOWEVER, THE BLUE SQUAD could get no closer than three points and finally break out of the hole.
But the Blue team came back on two Rick Suttle haskets sandwiched around a Reuben Shelton, St. Louis freshman, layup and a free throw by Kivisto.

He said he was also unhappy, with both teams' full court press, but said that the ineffectiveness was partly because the teams had played against each other so much. He also said he thought the press would become more effective when the team started working with the 30 second clock, which was not used in the game last night.
