Illinois upset by Austin Peay 68-67
From Kansan wires
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Tony Raye's two free throws with 2 seconds remaining last night brought Austin Peay a stunning 68-67 upset over Illinois in the opening round of the NCAA Southeast Regional.
The Governors from Clarksville, Tenn., took a seven-point lead early in the second half. But it appeared Illinois pulled the game out with 13 seconds to go when Tony Wysinger hit a foul-line jumpshot and put the Illini up 67-66.
Without calling time, Austin Peay hurried the ball downcourt and Mike Hicks found Raye under the basket. Raye was fouled on his layup attempt and Illinois called time in hopes of rattling him. Raye made just 56 percent of his free throws during the year.
His first shot slammed home after hitting both sides of the basket. His second fell through after bouncing on the rim.

Music helps 'psych'some KU divers
Bv DAVID BOYCE
The sounds of James Taylor or Prince can be heard by a few Kansas divers before each dive.
Of the four divers Kansas sent to compete today and tomorrow in the National Collegiate Athletic Association zone diving meet at Austin, Texas, three listen to music on their Walkmans before each dive.

method to relax, Spurney said.
In men's competition, freshman Andy Flower and senior Kent Grisswold qualified for the tournament's one-meter dive competition. For the women, junior Lori Spurney and freshman Julie Pierce qualified for both the one-meter and three-meter diving competition.
Spurney said she liked the mellow music of James Taylor before each dive, but Pierce said she liked soul music to get her going.
"It helps me keep my concentration," she said. "It really relaxes me."
Pierce said the reason she listened to soul music was to psych herself up before a dive.
"The music gets me to forget about everything else before a dive," she said.
Flower said he listened to Prince before dives to get him going. Flower and Pierce are entering the zone meet for the first time and are not sure what to expect.
"I am very excited. I'm not going there with the expectation of qualifying." Flower said. "I'm going there to make a name for myself."
Only the top four divers will go on to nationals from the zone meet, which consists primarily of schools from the Midwest.
Most KU divers use the music
Last year, Spurney finished 12th in
the one-meter event in her first zone meet competition.
"I'm going into this meet with more confidence," she said. "I did not dive well last year, but if I can duplicate the score I had in the Big Eight Conference in high boards, I have a chance to go to nationals."
Spurney scored 460 points and placed third in the three-meter diving competition in last week's Big Bash. He also placed fifth in the one-meter event.
"I did low board all through high school," she said. "It's kind of ironic that I'm doing inside in high board."
Diving coach Barry Susterka said it was going to be tough for any diver to quality for nationals. But after the Olympics, he said it would gain more confidence in their ability.
"They hit scores in the Big Eight that I didn't think they could hit," he said. "If they dive as well as they did
Susterka said the men might have an advantage because they must concentrate primarily on low board diving, whereas the women will be competing in both low and high board.
last week, they'll have a good shot of finishing high up in the competition.
Each diver will have 11 dives for each event. Pierce said, however, that by the second event she was usually a little tired.
"It is easier to get up for first event than the second." Pierce said.
Pierce said she usually scored better in her first event.
Nationalists for men will be held April 3-5 at Austin, Texas, and nationalists for women will be held March 20-22 at Indianapolis.

KU golfers head south for tourneys
By a Kansan reporter
The Kansas golf teams won't be spending their spring break relaxing in the sun like some students because they will be competing. But, like many of the sunning students, they will be in Florida.
The women's team will open its season with the Illini Spring Break Tournament in Tampa, Fla., and the Nissan Stadium in Bowl Spring Classic in Orlando, Fla.
Women's coach Kent Weiser said that the team was looking forward to its first tournament and that he thought it would do well.
Kansas was scheduled to play Louisiana State yesterday and Iowa today before finishing up tomorrow with Utah.
Men's coach Ross Randall said the team, which just came off a secondplace finish in the New Orleans Collegiate Classic, was starting to perform better.
