Jayhawks win late
TWO FOR THE HAWKS
Jayhawk forward Bruce Sloan scores over the outstretched arms of Oklahoma State center Charles Savell.
A field goal by Rodger Bohnestiehl with only four seconds remaining gave Kansas a come-from-behind 52-50 victory over Oklahoma State before 13,500 screaming fans in Allen Field House Monday night.
The Jayhawks had led only twice prior to the end—the last time on a Bruce Sloan steal and lay-up to put KU on top 50-48 with 1:50 remaining.
"The Sloan steal gave us the opportunity to get the ball and control it with at least a tie," head coach Ted Owens said.
Two free throws by OSU's Jack Herron again knotted the score 50-50 with 1:28 to go.
KU then brought the ball in bounds and used a delay game before calling a time out with 12 seconds left. Owens sent Bohnenstiehl from the bench and seconds later Greg Douglas passed perfectly to him underneath the basket for the winning win-up.
Gale Catlett, KU assistant coach, called the winning play from the press box.
"O-State anticipated the play and shifted a bigger man to cover Bohnstenbiel but Douglas' pass was perfect," he said.
"He noticed O-State had a smaller man covering Sloan so we put Bohnenstiehl back in for more height and then passed inside to him," Owens said.
The Jayhawks facing a tough man-to-man defense and having to play catch-up basketball the entire game refused to lose their poise and played perhaps their best game of the season down the stretch.
"I was really pleased with the team tonight. That's the most poise we've shown this year except maybe during the overtime game at Louisville." Owens said.
The victory was sweet revenge for the Jayhawks who lost a first round game in the Big Eight tournament to the Cowboys, 79-67.
"In that tournament game we panicked and tried to get the lead back quickly. Tonight we played with more patience and poise," Owens said.
The Cowboys used the same game plan in both games with KU, playing deliberate basketball and waiting for a good shot near the basket.
"We still let them have too many good shots. We didn't support well on defense, but we did a much better job than in Kansas City," Owens said.

"I thought O-State played exceptionally well tonight. They're a fine ball club. They're well drilled and they execute well," he said.
The game was close in all statistics. KU closed with 19 of 35 shots from the field for 54 per cent, one of the Jayhawks' best performances of the season in that department. O-State hit 17 of 33 for 52 per cent.
Bohnenstiehl led KU scorers with 14 points. Gene Hawk led O- State with 11.
KU had a slight rebounding edge, 26-25. Douglas was KU's top rebounder with five. Herron led the Cowboys with five.
