Women's team beaten in Dial Classic finals By CHRIS LAZZARINO Sports Writer It has been said that, for athletes, the level of play goes up as the level of competition goes up. Never was that more true than Saturday night at Allen Field House when the women's basketball team took on eighth-ranked Louisiana Tech for the championship of the season. Louisiana Tech beat KU by 11 points, 76-65 but the victory was by no means an easy one Vickie Adkins, who was the Most Valuable Player of the Oil Capital Classic in Tulsa, Okla. two weekends ago, got her third four with 11 minutes and seven seconds left in the first half. The Jayhawks were down by five points, 19-14, at the time. Even with Adkins out for 11 minutes, KU was able to keep the same point spread going into haffitte. 37-32 The Jahvyns battled back in the second half, pulling within one point with 10-01 left. Lisa Dougherty hit a 12-foot jump shot, making the score 51-10. Tech got a two-point lead with an Angela Lawson free throw, but KU tied it up at 16 with two free throws of its own by Dougherty with 7:28 left. That, however, was as close as KU could come. Tree reeled off 14 unanswered points, keeping KU scoreless for five minutes until Adkins hit a four foot shot, making the score 58-70 Mary Myers, KU's only senior, said Teeb KU's run in the second half, which sealed KU's fate, was due at least in part to the youth of the Jawhawk team. "our inexperience really showed," Myers said. "We are a very young team, but for as young as we are, we did a great job. They had to play us. It was a good loss. They are-" ranked team, and we will learn from the game." The spark plug for Tech was 5 foot 7 senior guard Pam Gant. Gant scored 10 of Tech's first 12 points, six of which were layups after steals on KU'S end of the court. She finished the game as high scorer with 27 points, which was also the high individual score for a game in the tournament. On the frontline, 6-foot 4 sophomore center Tori Harrison and 6-foot 3 forward Stacey Davis finished the game with 12 points for Tech. KU head coach Marian Washington said that the play of Davis and Harrison helped Gant. "Gant is really an experienced, fine ballplayer." Washington said. "In the second half, we had to give up the outside shot and they were getting easy paints inside." Washington said the players were dispawned by the loss, but they had a lot to be thankful for. "They tried so hard. I know they are disappointed." Washington said. "But I hope they realize what they did. Especially with the number of freshmen playing.

Going into their game Saturday afternoon with Detroit, the Kansas Jayhawks didn't know too much about their opponent. The man head coach Larry Brown had hired to scout Detroit couldn't make it to the Titans game 'last Monday against Michigan. gamed at the game. On Saturday, KU found out quickly that the Titans had some good shooters as the two teams matched baskets in the first half. The Jayhawks went into the locker room with a 44-40 lead. Spurred on by two technical fouls called against Brown late in the first half, the Jayhawks tore into the Pittsburgh in the second half. They scored twice before a crowd of 13,700 in Allen Field House. Junior forward Ron Kellogg, who led the Jayhawks in scoring with 19 points, said the technicals on Brown had a definite effect on the team's performance in the second half. "AFTER THE REFEREES gave Coach Brown the two technicals, it really pumped us up." Kellogg said. "The first five minutes of the second half were very important to us, and we went out and did a great job." Referee Tom O'Neill called a technical on Brown with eight seconds left in the first half for stepping out of the coaches box, the 26-foot rectangular area in front of both teams' benches that is being used this year for the first time. Brown said that when the Jahyawks played last week at the Great Alaskan Shootout, the officials told him that they would warn the couple out of the box before calling a technical Brown didn't receive a warning Saturday, and when he demanded an explanation from O'Neill, Ron Berkholtz, another member of the Big Eight conference officials' crew, slapped Brown with a second technical. Keith Gray, who led the Titans in scoring with 24 points, sank three of the four technical free throws, pulling the Titans to victory. The Ravens threw three before throw before the half ended, making it 44-10 ALTHOUGH THE JAYHAWKS had led through most of the first half, they didn't be able to pull away from Detroit. The second half was a different story. KU beat 2 in the first nine minutes of the second half and the game wasn't close thereafter. "We just went out and played good pressure defense," senior guard Tad Boyle said of the team's second-half surge. "in the second half they weren't hitting their outside shot, as they did in the first half. It seemed anything they threw up in the first half went in." The Jayhawks played man-to-man defense for most of the game, and Brown said he was pleased with the results. "I was thrilled with our man-to-man defense," he said. "They tried to spread us out, but we defended great." Besides leading the team in scoring, Kellog had seven rebounds and four assists. he capped off an all-around performance by holding Detroit forward Greg Wendt to four points in the second half. Wendt had scored 14 points in the first half. "Ronnie played great," Brown said. "Overall, we got to play a lot of people, and that was something I wanted to do."
