Jayhawks End Losing Streak
The Kansas Jayhawker basketball team ended a four game losing streak by defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers 45-39 at Lincoln Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Nebraska continued its 10-game losing streak. The Comhuskers' league record is 0-10 and they are deeply embedded in last place. The Jaybawkers now stand 3-8 in league play.
TO WIN, the Jayhawkers had to overcome a five point halftime deficit. Senior guard Nolen Ellison but the Jayhawkers ahead to stay with two free throws with 13:32 remaining Harry Gibson scored from the free throw line and Ellison scored on a jump shot to give the Jayhawkers a 31-27 advantage.
The closest Nebraska could come to catching the Jayhawkers was a four-point margin twice in the late stages of the ball game.
The Jayhawkers started stalling with 2:38 remaining to play. Nebraska fouled George Unseld, who made two free throws, giving KU a 39-32 lead with 1:49 left.
THIRTY SECONDS later Al Correll made two free throws to give the Jayhawkers a 41-34 margin after Nebraska had pulled to within four points of KU. Ellison made two more free throws giving KU a 43-37 margin with 27 seconds remaining.
Nebraska played a ball-control game in the first half while employing a tight zone defense which limited KU's scoring aces Unseld and Ellison to two and four points respectively. The Jayhawkers made but 26 per cent of their field goals in the first half and went five minutes without scoring from the field at one point in the game.
Unseld and Ellison regained their shooting eyes in the second half to score 14 and 13 points respectively. Neil Nannen, who was promoted to the first team last week, led the Cornhuskers with 14 points.
ELLISON JOINED an elite group of six players who have scored 1,000 points in their career at KU. Ellison now has 1,003 career points, 27 shy of Jerry Gardner's career total.
In the preliminary game, the KU freshman team overcame a seven point halftime deficit to defeat the freshman Cornhuskers and keep its season record unsoiled.
The victory was the KU freshmen's third of the season. Their final game is Tuesday against the K-State freshmen in Allen Field House.
