the first half and held onto it to defeat the Jayhawkers 67-54.
The victory boosted Kansas State's title hopes. The Wildcats are now tied for first place with Oklahoma State. Both teams have 7-2 records. Close behind is Iowa State and Colorado with 8-3 and 7-3 records respectively.
KU's record now is 2-8, two games out of last place. Saturday night, the Jayhawks meet the last place Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln.
NOLEN ELLISON came within 10 points of entering the 1,000 career points club last night by scoring 22. George Unseld was the game's second high scorer with 21 points. The pair scored all but 11 of the Jayhawkers' points.
Kansas State combined a well-balanced scoring attack. Max Moss.
a 6-0 junior guard, led the Wildcats with 18 points. He has been averaging 5.4 points per game.
The Wildcats' leading individual scorer, Willie Murrell, scored 15 points. His average is 18.2. Gary Marriott, who has been averaging 14.2 points per game, scored 16 points.
THE JAYHAWKERS commanded a six point lead midway in the first half. KU began to tire in the last five minutes of the first half and the Wildcats overtook them to build a 32-27 halftime lead.
The second half was all Kansas State's as the the Jayhawkers did not make their shots or rebound. The Wildcats outrebounded the Jayhawkers 48-31. Murrell was the chief KU menace on the backboards as he pulled down 15 rebounds.
"That was a great victory for us," said Kansas State coach Tex Winter following the game. "We are a little better overall than we were in the tournament.
"KU PLAYED letter-perfect ball in the tournament game. I'm sure that Dick Harp feels his boys could have done better tonight.
Winter stressed Murrell's re-bounding and Moss's scoring as giving the Wildcats "the impetus we needed to win."
KU Coach Dick Harp said that he thought his team played well early in the first half. He said that the Jayhawkers were hindered because they could not work the ball in for a close shot.
"In the second half, we had the ball but couldn't put it in," Harp
