Deadlocked at No. 1
Jayhawks tip Nebraska, pull even in Big Eight
KU's Jayhawks, getting an assist from Iowa State's overtime magic, hoisted themselves into the Big Eight lead with Colorado Saturday night.
"It wasn't a thing of beauty, but the beautiful thing was winning," said Coach Ted Owens after his club dealt Nebraska a 79-73 defeat.
Kansas, an odds-on favorite to capture the conference championship in pre-season polls, finally got into position to do it when Iowa State trimmed the Buffs, 80-76, in overtime.
The Jayhawks (19-4) and Colorado (18-5) both carry 8-3 Big Eight marks into games tonight against the league's bottom teams. KU hosts cellar-dwelling Oklahoma while Colorado travels to Nebraska.
Free throw accuracy down the stretch (11 of 16) helped the Jayhawks dispose of Nebraska. In the final $6 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes, KU used the charity shooting to protect a 64-56 margin.
That spread was built on Rich Bradshaw's two free throws and Pierre Russell's three-point play at 6:52, after Nebraska drew as close as 59-56 at 8:01 on Tom Scantlebury's steal off the press.
KU's Dave Robisch tallied 19 of his 27 points in the first half, helping the Jayhawks mount a 45-39 advantage. Bradshaw finished with 16 points and Russell reached a career high of 15.
It was that way
Nebraska went to its full-court
Nebraska coach Joe Cipriano gets into a heated discussion with a referee after a close call during the final minutes of Saturdays game when the 'Huskers were employing their full court press in a desperate attempt to recover the ball.
"We didn't intend for it to work out that way," said Owens. "Rich and Pierre were supposed to bring it up, but sometimes they got trapped.
Missouri, which whipped Oklahoma, 69-49, could put the Jayhawks on the throne. The Tigers earlier lost by only one point to Colorado in overtime and meet the Buffs March 8.
"Robisch was more or less a safety valve," explained Owens. "We didn't do a good job looking down the floor against their press," the KU coach then added.
Kansas State kept its foot in the door for the Big Eight title by trimming Oklahoma State, 58-50. The 'Cats now trail KU and Colorado by a half-game.
Before then, Mizzou twice meets Kansas State.
