Page 16 University Daily Kansan, January 15, 1981 Defense lifts 'Hawks 70-58 BVKEVIN BERTELS Sports Editor The players run and shoot and the crowd cheers. That was the case at Kansas last year and the before and in the case with nearly every team in every gym. This year, however, running and shooting aren't the big attractions for the crowd at Allen Field House. The new love has long been ignored by KU fans. This season the crowd cheers defense. And last night the crowd cheered loudest when defense was played best. In those eight minutes, KU scored 14 points held in the state. State officials said the held a 62-38 win one key to the end. KU Head Coach Ted Owens said that the toughest defense was played in the first eight minutes of the second half of the Jayhawks' 70-58 victory over Iowa State University in the first half of the season for both teams. For most of those eight minutes the cloud cheered continually. "The key to the ball game was the great defense we played in the first seven to eight minutes of the second half and the fact that we were able to get the ball to Victor Mitchell in the middle," Owens said. "Then he was able to do an excellent job of getting the ball to the open man, which was very difficult to sense. We dominated on the backboards and that was a plus." Iowa State Head Coach Johnny Orr, in his first year at a new job since ending a long career at Michigan University, gave a plus to KU in another category—the officiating. He credited offensives and defensive call against Robert Ckones 64-foot forward, with stopping the Cyclones last rally. "The big play was the goatlanding call when we were making a run at them late," Orr said. Whether he was fouled or whether it was off-road, I thought, I thought it was the big play. It stonemed us." KU forward David Magley was the play differently and from a better vantage point. "To be quite frank, I don't know what he was going to say. He's under the basket and I thought it was the right one." Magley was where he needed to be most of the game. He scored 17 points and pulled down 10 players. categories, however, Darnell Valentine led in scoring with 20 points and Senior forward John Crawford came off the bench and grabbed 12 rebounds, the best effort by a Jayhawk this season. The game wasn't always as well in hand as it was after the defensive spurt in the second half. At the half, the score was tied at 28, a surprise to meet because KU was expected to defeat the Cyclones easily. Owens said that playing the first conference game of the season was the problem. "The first (conference) game of the year is like the season starter," he said. "You get a little too up for it, wanting to do so well. We lost our poise, and we were able to settle down. Getting the first conference game out of the way is important, especially at home." For much of this season, the Jayhawks have won games with good ball movement and high quality inside play from centers Victor Mitchell and Art House. Both of those things were forgotten in the first half, but a lack of effort wasn't the problem, according to Magley. "I think we tried to do too much," he said. "Sometimes we forget that we have two of the best centers in the land. That is what I think. Victor is a great passer; he always gets the ball to the open man. In the first half we didn't use them." In the first half, while KU wasn't using its centers offensively, Iowa State's 6-foot-11, 25-pound center Ron Falenchek was abusing them defensively. Falenchek was the first big man to dent the "Iron Curtain," the Jayhawks' name for the 3-zone line with Art House hawking the point guard. Falenchek scored 15 points to lead the Cyclones, 10 of those in the first half. "I was playing very high up in my position," Housey said. "We weren't sagging back and that allowed him to come in the seam. We changed that later." JAYHAWK NOTES. In case you were away, last night's fight over Iowa State was KU's seventh consecutive triumph. They were last defeated by Kentucky 87-73 in Lexington. Since then, the Jayhawks have defeated Southern California 91-68, Southern Methodist 73-62, Rolls College 102-47, North Carolina 56-55, Memphis State 59-49 and Iona 94-64. The victory over North Carolina, then the six-ranked team in the country, took place in Kansas City's Kemper Arena. The 102 points scored against Rollins College marked the 17th time that a KU team surpassed 100 points in a game. Fifteen of those games were coached by TED OWENS. KU's chances of winning a Big Eight championship already have increased after only one game. Highly regarded Kansas State lost to Nebraska in Lincoln last night 59-49. The latest Big Eight statistics show senior guard DARNELY VALENTINE leading the league in both assists and steals. He averaged 9.5 assists a game and 2.4 steals a game. Junior guard TONY GUY also averaged 2.4 steals a game. Junior center VICTOR MITCHELL led the Big Eight in field goal shooting, hitting 62 percent of his shots. Valentine also surpassed two KU legends on the career scoring list. He passed WILT CHAMBERLAIN'1 1,433 when the Jayhawks played Southern California and was inducted into the Valentine is now at third place behind DAVE BORNICH and CLYDE LOVELETTE. KU is leading the Big Eight in attendance with 1,809 fans each game. Kansas State is second with 1,734 fans each game.
