Second place Hawks collide with Buffs in rematch of last year's top two clubs
KU and Colorado, cream of the crop last year in Big Eight basketball but relegated to also-ran status this season, will try and take out some frustrations when they, the conference's two post-season tournament teams of a year ago, collide Saturday night in Boulder in an important first division game. Tip-off is 8:05 in CU Field House.

The Buff ace, top scorer in the conference last year, follows KU's Dave Robisch's record pace this season with a 21.7 mark in conference play.
The Buffs, 1969 champion and NCAA representative who surprised everybody a year ago by taking the Big Eight title with a sophomore dominated team, currently is tied for seventh place after dropping their last two clashes against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma in a recent road swing. The Jayhawks, who played in the NIT last season, are second in the current conference chase but trail K-State by two games in the loss column.
"It would take a miracle for us to win the championship," KU coach Ted Owens says realistically, "but as long as we have a

mathematical chance we are going to fight and scrap as hard as we can to win."
Unless the "miracle" happens, the 'Hawks' string of four straight post-season tournament appearances will come to an end. The Jayhawks may not go to the NIT this year since KU is hosting the NCAA midwest regional. It's NCAA or nothing for KU and to earn that bid Owens' troupe must make up two games on the surging Wildcats.

To tie the Wildcats it would be necessary for the Jayhawks to win their five remaining conference games, including the season-ending match with K-State at Lawrence. Between Saturday night's test at Boulder and the K-State finale, the Jayhawks play Missouri at Lawrence next Monday and Oklahoma and Oklahoma State on the road.
In addition to a sweep of those five games, K-State would have to lose another for KU to tie. The Wildcats (8-2) have home games with Nebraska and Colorado and a road contest with Oklahoma in addition to the one with the Javhawks.
With 6-10 Roger Brown turning in the finest game of his career, KU kept its title hopes flickering with a 100-87 victory over Nebraska Tuesday night.
ECONOMIC MUSCLE
ROME (UPI)—Italian soccer fans spent a record $40 million on the sport last year, and top athletes earn up to 10 times more than the salary paid to the country's President, Guiseppe Saragat.
Brown came off the bench after about eight minutes had elapsed and the Jayhawks trailing, 21-17. From then until halftime he hauled in 18 rebounds and scored 10 points to spark the Jayhawks to the 54-43 lead it held the rest of the night.
The gangling junior from Chicago wound up with a career high of 21 rebounds and season high of 15 points as he became only the eight KU player in history to collect 20 or more rebounds in a game.
Dave Robisch pushed his season scoring average to 27.2 by bucketing 32 points against the Huskers. In nine conference games he's averaged 28.3—the identical figure Wilt Chamberlain hit when the former Jayhawk marvel set the Big Eight mark in 1958.
Also standing out in the Nebraska romp was Pierre Russell, the spring-legged junior, with a personal high of 25 points. His previous peak had been 24 against Western Kentucky.
In this year's earlier KU-Colorado game at Lawrence the Jayhawks prevailed, 75-73, and it took a 38-point salvo by Robisch and a last second bucket by Russell at the buzzer to put them over the hump.
