Title hopes continue as Hawks down O-State

Outstanding second half performances by KU's Dave Robisch and Roger Brown sparked the Jayhawks to a 69-58 conference win over stubborn Oklahoma State Monday night in Allen Field House.
Robisch riddled the Cowboy's stingy man-to-man defense for a game high 31 points—17 coming in the second period. Monday night's scoring spree thrust the 6-10 Jayhawk standout over the 1,000 career point mark—a feat that only ten other KU cagers have achieved.
Robisch, who upped his two year point production to 1,009 at the expense of the Cowboys, now ranks tenth on the Hawks career scoring chart behind such illustrious performers as Clyde Lovelette, Wilt Chamberlain, Walter Wesley and Jo Jo White.
Brown, KU's second-line center, entered the game with 15:35 remaining in the second stanza and the 'Hawks holding a slim 43-34 edge over the Cowboys. The 6-10 junior, a starter on last year's NIT squad, grabbed a game high 10 rebounds and scored nine points in his brief appearance to guide the Jayhawks down the stretch run towards their 13th win of the season.
KU surprised Oklahoma State with a full court press at the outset of the contest and jumped to
a 7-2 lead before the momentarily stunned Cowboys were able to set up their traditional pattern offense. But O-State quickly settled down to business and grabbed a 9-7 lead when Sparky Grober hit on a 20-foot jumper only three minutes later.
The slow 'Pokes, unable to penetrate KU's tough 1-3-1 trap zone in the early going, were forced to rely on deadly outside shooting to stay within striking distance of the Hawks. The lead continued to change hands until Oklahoma State suddenly lost its magical shooting touch and the Jayhawks reeled off 12 consecutive points to move from a 17-16 margin to a comfortable 29-16 edge with 6:15 remaining in the opening period.
The Cowboys were never able to completely recover from KU's sudden scoring spurt and the Jayhawks edged to a 36-30 half time advantage.
The Hawks used a couple pages from Oklahoma State's own playbook—solid defense and a deliberate patterned offense—to increase the slim six point intermission advantage into a commanding 60-45 margin in the second half. The Cowboys, conference cell dwellers, were never able to cut the deficit to less than 11 points in the final 7 minutes as they fell to their sixth conference loss in eight encounters.
Both KU and O-State enjoyed excellent shooting nights. The Jayhawks converted 26 of 51 field goal attempts for a fiery 51 per
