NEW YORK—The dream of a National Invitation Tournament title ended abruptly about 10 minutes into the first half at Madison Square Garden Saturday afternoon.
Nine minutes into the half Kansas had an eight-point lead over Dayton and looked like it was ready to take possession of the championship trophy. Then suddenly the Jayhawk basketball machine began to falter. KU had been moving with the hustle and ball control that had gotten it into the championship game but at this point the Jayhawks began to stand around both offensively and defensively.
Dayton won the game and the tournament, 61-48, and the Flyer's All-American forward Don May came on to show why he is an All-American and take the Most
Valuable Player trophy away from Jo Jo White who probably would have won if the Jayhawks had won.
"If we'd done anything the last 10 minutes of the first half, we'd have had a commanding lead. But we were not moving well offensively. We didn't move well or shoot well. Sometimes these things go hand in hand. And we didn't hit our free throws there. We had an eight-point lead and some free throws could have given us control," coach Ted Owens said afterwards.
