Alan Hagman/KANSAN
Freshman forward Keith Harris battles for a loose ball with Chucky Brown during the North Carolina State game Jan. 25 in Kemper Arena. Harris sank two game-winning free throws with no time remaining on the clock Saturday as the Jayhawks defeated St. John's 62-60 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Down on the Madison Square Garden floor on Saturday, the guys in the traveling blue uniforms got a little boost. And in the very end it was Keith Harris who gave it to them.

Anything but a sure thing from the foul line the last few games, Harris calmly sank the game-winning free throw and another for good measure with no time on the clock, giving the Jayhawks a 62-60 victory over the 20th-ranked Redmen.
Harris, who missed a foul shot with 9 seconds left in the Oklahoma game that gave the Sooners the chance for a game-winning shot, topped off a big Kansas comeback. He was driving for a baseline layup as time expired when St. John's Matt Brust fouled him.
As Harris stepped to the line, St. John's Mark Jackson stepped over and gave him some words of discouragement.
"As far as I was concerned, it didn't mean a thing to me," Harris said. "I was convinced I was going to be able to make them."
"He said, 'You're going to miss these. We're playing overtime. There's no way you can make them.'" "Harris said."
Kansas guard Kevin Pritchard stepped between the two, but Harris was given a little time to think when St. John's called a time-out. Harris said he was cool and, yes, confident
Kansas, 21-7, remained 9-3 in the Big Eight Conference but picked up some experience that will help when you season tournament time rolls around.
The Jayhawks, after rediscovering heir weakness on the road in a 95-86
loss at Iowa State on Tuesday, won before a hostile Garden crowd estimated at about 16,000. It was the Jayhawks' sixth victory in 13 games away from Allen Field House.
Men's Basketball
Perhaps even more impressive. Kansas won by overcoming a big St John's lead. The Redmen, who scored 14-6, held a 32-22 advantage at the half.
Manning carried Kansas through a terrible first half in which the team hit only 11 of 31 shots from the field. Manning scored 16 points, but the rest of the team could hit only three of 16 shots.
"To be 10 down at the half against a team like St. John's and at Madison Square Garden, this is a great win and it can only help us in the playoffs," Jayhawk forward Danny Manning said.
At halftime, the Jayhawks faced a 10 point deficit and an angry Larry Brown.
“It’s the maddest I’ve ever been at halftime.” Brown said yesterday. “I was pretty mad at Wichita State, but that got over after a few minutes. I don’t think it ever ended at halftime in this game.”
The Jayhawks, who began the game with a 3-5 record in games in which they trailed at halftime, began their comeback with defense. After that, their shooting fell into place.
Pritchard faced a confidence crisis of his own, hitting only two of his first eight attempts from the field. But he didn't back down from an open play at home and went 12 to 6, and his basket tied the game. Jackson led all scorers with 90.
points. Manning led the Jayhawks with 25.
Kansas outrebounded St. John's 32-27. Chris Piper was the high rebounder for the Jayhawks with nine.

Five total points in a game may not seem much of a contribution. But Saturday against Kansas State, it was just what the women's basketball team needed.
Women's Basketball
Freshman center Lynn Page came off the bench with 8 minutes left in the game and scored five points and Masa win its fourth straight game 68-63.
"No question, she played a big role down the stretch," Coach Marian Washington said.
With Kansas leading 52-51, Page entered the game and scored a couple of key basket on follow up shots in Kansas to maintain its narrow lead.
"Rebounding was my role." Page said. "I had been watching the game in the first half and I noticed K-State had out rebounded us.
"I feel really good. I came in and brought some fire to the team."
Before Page entered the game, the Jayhawks had blown a 10-point half-time lead and led by one with 8:20 left in the game.
"It吓我够了," forward Shauna Wiers said about blowing the lead. "But I don't think so."
“Our defense slacked off. We have to keep our momentum throwout.”
During the final eight minutes, the Jayhawks were able to maintain a four- to five-point lead to win the game. The victory gives Kansas an 8-5 conference record and 15-12 overall record.
Kansas is now in a three-way tie for second with K-State and Nebraska in the game behind first place Missouri with one game left to play in the season.
In the first half, both teams started
with poor shooting, K-State scored first at the 17:30 mark and Kansas did not score until the 16:37 mark.
But Kansas was able to gain control midway through the first half, taking a 32-15 lead before K-State hit six unanswered points.
By halftime, K-State had erased seven points from Kansas' 17-point lead, making the score 36-26
"We had our fast break going early in the first half, but we allowed K-State to control the tempo late in the half," forward Jackie Martin said.
Martin, who scored a career-high 26 points Wednesday against Iowa State, played a key role during the second half in the game Saturday.
K-State's center, Sue Leiding, scored 14 of her game-high 20 points in the second half. She was nearly unstopable the first 10 minutes of that half before Washington went to the box-and one defense with four minutes left in the game.
Washington gave Martin the responsibility to shut down Leiding.
"I was trying to deny her the ball," Martin said. "I just wanted to get in her face so she could not see the ball."
Martin led the team in rebounding with nine and had 12 points. Waters scored a team-high 14 points and continued her scoring binge by averaging 15 points in her past five games.

Martin said her role Saturday was not to score points, but to block out the heat.
"Scoring is something that comes with the flow of the game," Martin said. "It's not something you concentrate on, but it really matters on how many points you will score."
For the second game in a row, Kansas' pressing defense caused many turnovers for its opponents.
IOWA State had 30 turnovers in the game Wednesday and K-State had
