Jayhawks whip MU
By Steve Morgan Kansan Sports Editor
The Jayhawks rallying behind their half court pressure defense in the second half beat Missouri, 74-65, Tuesday night to stretch their winning streak to five games and strengthen their hold on the Big Eight lead.
For Kansas it was sweet revenge. MU had handed the Jayhawks their first conference defeat last month in Lawrence and it had taken KU until last Saturday night's victory over Nebraska to get back in the conference lead.
Jo Jo White led Kansas with 28 points to tie his career high set earlier this season against Oklahoma State. It was his shooting that kept the Jayhawks within striking distance throughout the first half and then put the game
away when he scored eight points in the last three minutes.
Kansas fell behind early as Missouri jumped away to a quick 7-1 lead. The Tigers maintained leads of four to six points throughout most of the opening half. Finally KU with five straight points by center Dave Nash closed the margin to one point, 34-33, with .57 seconds remaining. The first half ended with the score 35-33.
The Jayhawks went into their pressing half court combination zone and man-to-man defense immediately after the half and it began to get results. This defense puts pressure on the ball with more than one man and drops a man on the weak side of the court to anticipate a cross-court pass.
MU lost its poise against the defense and began to throw the
ball away. Kansas capitalized on the turnovers and grabbed a ten point lead less than half way through the second half.
KU first knotted the score at 38-38 with 17:08 remaining on a bucket from the corner by Rodger Bohnestiehl. With 16:10 remaining, the Jayhawks took their first lead of the game 40-38 on a 25-footer by Phil Harmon. They never trailed again.
A few minutes later Kansas scored eight straight points to move 10 points in front, 50-40, with just under 12 minutes to go, a lead MU could never overcome
As in previous encounters with the Tigers, KU was in foul trouble from the start. The Jayhawks finished with 30 team fouls and Nash, Harmon, Bruce Sloan and Vernon Vanoy fouled out. Missouri had 23 fouls.
