Jayhawks nip Sooners in tense struggle
Sports writer
The Oklahoma Sooners provided Kansas fans with their first nail-biter in Allen Field House this season.
KU guard Cedric Hunter moved the ball up the court during the second hand last night's game at Allen Field House. Hunter had four steals and went eight for eight for a total of 19 points.
the Sooners battled back from a 15 point deficit to close to within two before losing 98-92 last night.

One has to look in the record book to Feb. 22, 1984, the last time Kansas was beaten at home, to see so much action packed into the second half.
the second half.
The Sooners provided the tense moments then, as well, with an overt victory.
This time, history almost repeated itself as Kansas, whose defense had been bent but not broken throughout the game, saw the Sooners capitalize on some key turnovers, missed free throws and fouls to trail 94-92 with 45 seconds on the clock left.
"That was ugly," said men's head basketball coach Larry Brown. "I'm really disappointed. We didn't hold the lead and we were really disorganized out there."
A tough Oklahoma full-court-press defense in the last two minutes nearly won the game for the Sooners
Then, after an Oklahoma time-out and a subsequent Sooners foul, junior Mark Tungun seck two, foul shots with 22 seconds left to give Kansas a four-point lead.
Oklahoma, trailing 93-84 with 1:22 remaining, used the press to get two fast break baskets from guard Tim McCalister and draw backcourt fouls on sophomores Danny Manning and Chris Piper to help pull the score within two.
"Those were the biggest free throws I've ever made." Turgeon said. "I was pretty confident I would make them."
A steal and breakaway slam dunk by junior Cedric Hunter sealed the win.
Until the last two minutes, the Sooners had been the ones shaking their heads in frustration.
Kansas, who had led throughout the game, used fast break baskets to mount large leads in the second half. For most of the game, the Jayhawks led by eight or more points.
"I thought it was a hard-fought ball game with two excellent teams on the floor," said Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs. "Kansas is a very good ball team but I have a lot of respect for our team because of the way we came back. I think a lot of teams would have went belly-up."
Manning, again the Kansas top scorer with 24 points, rated the Jayhawks performance as "average" but said that the tough Oklahoma pressure defense made the difference.
"I think a lot of it (the Oklahoma comeback) was from its press but I also think we made too many turnovers," Manning said. "We blew the lead which was our fault but I'm happy to get the win."
Kansas had 26 turnovers in the game.
Tubbs said it was Kansas shooting, rebounding and defense that created opportunities that let them win.
"I've always said that the team that rebounds and shoots better will come out on top and they shot it well and out-rebounded us tonight," he said.
David Johnson scored 21 of his game-high 26 points in the second half to help key the Sooners' comeback. Tubbs said the battle between Kansas center Greg Dreiling and Oklahoma center David Johnson, a Kansas City native, was fierce all night.
"I thought he (Johnson) did a great job," Brown said. "He hit a lot of great shots."
Tubbs called Dreiling, who had 12 points and 14 rebounds, a key to the Kansas win. The 14 rebound tied his season high. He also had 14 against Memphis State on January 4.
"I think Dreiling is an excellent player and I thought he made some big plays offensively and got some key rebounds tonight." Tubbs said.
When asked about the Sooners' tough pressure defense, Brown said
he thought Kansas could expect to see a lot more of it when the Jayhawks played Oklahoma in Norman Feb. 24.

frenzied comeback attempt to post a 74-70 Big Eight Conference triumph over Kansas State last night.
Chievous and Strong gave the Tigers an eight-point lead, 72-64, with 1:34 to play on back-to-back baskets. But the Wildcats outscored Missouri 6-2 during the waning moments to cut
the advantage to four before time ran out.
Kansas State, 13-5 overall and 1-2 in league play, jumped to an 18-4 lead during the first seven minutes of the game, paced by eight early points from Norris Coleman, who finished with 28.
Chievous finished with 23 points, including a perfect 11-for-11 from the foul line, and 11 rebounds for Missouri, now 16-5 overall and 3-1 in the Big Eight. Strong had 22 points, while Bingenheimer added 16.
AMES, Iowa — Jeff Grayer scored 23 points to lead Iowa State as the Cyclones cruised past Colorado 90-62 in Big Eight college basketball last night for a school-record 12th consecutive win at home.

Iowa State, forcing four turnovers in the first $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ minutes, pulled out to a quick 10-0 lead before Downs scored for the Bucks with 16:37 left in the first half.
Jeff Hornacek scored 18 points and Gary Thompsonkills 14 as Iowa State increased its record to 12-5 for the season and 3-1 in the Big Eight. Reserve Scott Wilke and Randy Downs scored 12 each and Matt Bullard and Torin Williams had 10 apiece for Colorado, 8-8 and 0-3.
CU pulled to within two points on three occasions early in the game, but the Cyclones used the inside play of Grayer and Hornacek's long range jumpers to take a 40-28 lead at halftime.
Greg Dreiling, Archie Marshall and Mark Turgeon surrounded Oklahoma's David Johnson as he drove to the basket during last night's game at Allen Field House. Johnson had a game-high 26 points.
Point guard hits 19
Hunter leads KU fast break
By Frank Hansel

Kansas ended Oklahoma's 17-game winning streak the same way the Sooners had built it — running the fast break and getting easy hacks.
Kansas used its height advantage to start several fast breaks and beat the Sooners at their own game 98-92 before 15,200 Jayhawk-crazed fans at Allen Field House.
"I wanted a game in the 70s," Kansas head coach Larry Brown said last night. "If we played them in a shirts and skins game like that we would lose."
47-31 and used its height advantage to start several of those fast breaks. Center Greg Drrelling led the game with 14 rebounds and forward Danny Manning grabbed 11.
Kansas guard Cedric Hunter directed the Kansas offense. He scored 19 points, connecting on all of his floor shots. Six of those shots were layups off of fast breaks. Hunter also had nine assists.
Oklahoma head coach Billy Tubbs said the Jayhawk rebounding advantage was the key to the game.
"There's nothing you can do," Tubbs said. "We can't grow. I think Dreiling is just a very good player."
Dreiling said Kansas didn't want to get into a running game with Oklahoma, but it worked out all right in the end.
Kansas out-rebounded Oklahoma
Kansas built several double-digit leads in the second half off the running game. The Jayhawks outscored Oklahoma 10-2 during a three minute stretch to take a 67-53 lead. Six of the points were a direct result of fast breaks after Sonner turnovers.
lead with a full-court press, Hunter answered with another fast break assist. This one to forward Archie Marshall gave Kansas' a 13-point lead, 74-61, with 8:46 left to play.
Two free throws by Sooner guard Linwood Davis cut the Jayhawk lead to seven, 83-76. Hunter came back with another fast break lay up and Dreiling scored off a fast break to give the Jayhawks a 89-82 lead.
After the Sooners had cut into the
The lead went to nine when guard Mark Tyrone scored on a fast break layup. Again the assist went to Hunter.
"I think he (Hunter) is one of the best guards in the league," Brown said. "The only thing holding him back is his free throw shooting."
The win moved the Jayhawks' record to 17-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big Eight. Oklahoma dropped to 17-1 overall and 2-1 in the conference.
JV defeats Independence, 71-62

The KU junior varsity basketball team survived a scare from Independence Community College last night, but bung on to win 71-62.
The Jayhawks were in command early in the second half with a 18-point lead, but the Pirates closed the gap to three with 8:50 to play.
Independence guard Todd Barnes scored six points, including a jump
shot from the top of the free-throw line, to help cut the lead.
However, he said, the Jayhawks regained some intensity and pulled away from Independence.
"The team became timid with the 13-point lead," R.C. Buford, Kansas' coach, said.
Scooter Barry scored 19 points, which led Kansas' scoring, and Altonio Campbell added 18.
The Jayhawks' game plan was to run the fast break, he said, but the Pirate defense forced Kansas to change.
led Henzlick and Jerry Johnson led Kansas with eight rebounds apiece. Dwight Jackson had seven rebounds for Independence.
Barnes led all scorers with 20.
"We didn't shoot bad shots," Buford said. "They (Independence) played a great defense and it's tough to play 40 minutes."

victory over Oklahoma State was playing with balance and confidence. She attributed her team's recent success to effective outside shooting, a factor largely due to Jayhawks left open by the double and triple-tteam defense against high-scoring forward Vickie Adkins.

Washington said that although
Missouri has had a rollercoaster-like season, they will play inspired basketball at home.
Kansas will concentrate defensively, Washington said, on the middle rather than stopping Tigers like Renee Kelly on the outside. Kelly, who has scored many points lately, scored 32 points in each of her last two outings, including a school record 13 of 13 from the field in Missouri's 81-65 win over Oklahoma State Jan. 14.
Missouri, last year's Big Eight champion, will be without their leading scorer, Sarah Campbell.
Campbell, a senior who averaged 22.4 points a game, left the team Jan. 14 because she said she could "no longer play like a robot." Campbell wanted to return, but her teammates refused to let her after their win over Oklahoma State.
"Kansas consistently has two or three players in double figures," she said. "Everyone on the floor is capable of scoring."
"We're very inconsistent," she said yesterday. "One game we'll play well offensively or defensively, and another we won't. It's a definite problem."
Rutherford said her team had not made any special preparation for the Jayhawks and doesn't plan to double or triple team Adkins. She said, however, that the Tigers must play well defensively against what she considers a very good team.
Missouri's head coach, Joann Rutherford, said last week that the team must overcome the loss of Campbell. She also said her team must overcome inconsistency on offense and defense, a problem that has plagued her team all season.
Georgia Tech upsets Duke in ACC battle
ATLANTA — Bruce Dalyrpley scored 21 points, including four free throws in the final 34 seconds, as fourth-ranked Georgia Tech survived a late rally to down No. 2 Duke 87-80 in an Atlantic Coast Conference basketball game last night.
The Yellow Jackets claimed their 15th straight victory at the free throw line after seeing an 11-point lead with just over three minutes remaining fade to four points four times in the final 64 seconds.
Mark Price led the Jackets with 25 points, but it was the all-around play of Dalrymple throughout the game that cost Duke its second loss in a row after opening the season with victories in its first 16 games.
