Seniors leave Allen winners
By ROB KNAPP
Good luck, Turg, Bon voyage, Ced.
Senior guards Mark Turgeon and
Cedric Hunter left their final college
game at Allen Field House last night
with 1:11 left in the game, and they
left as winners. They had helped
build their own going-away present,
an 84-67 Kansas beating of Kansas
State.

Hunter and Turgeon, both team leaders in their seasons at Kansas, inspired the Jayhawks to one of their best games of the year. When Kansas was down after two losses in the last three games, emotion came to the rescue.
"It was Cedric's and Mark's last game and we wanted to make it special for them," forward Mark Randall said.
It was a special night for everyone as Kansas won its 48th game in a row at the field house and tied the Big Eight Conference record for consecutive home court victories. The Jayhawks also took a half-game lead in the conference race over Oklahoma and Missouri.
Hunter was second on the team with 13 points and tied for second in rebounds with six. He also added five assists, boosting his career total to 634 and pushing him ahead of Nebraska's Brian Carr into second place on the all-time conference list.
Turgeon, starting for only the eighth time this season, made the most of his time on the court. He grabbed a career-high six rebounds and scored 10 points.

Kansas State 67
Iowa State's Jeff Hornack holds the record with 667. Hunter broke Darnell Valentine's Kansas record of 609 earlier in the season.
Turgeon also took 11 shots, the most he has attempted this season.

"Turgeon thought he was a scorer tonight," Brown said with a smile. "He'll have to soak his arm."
Turgeon said he was disappointed with his first half performance, especially one three-point attempt early in the half that didn't hit the rim.
"When I shot that airball I couldn't
surprise. Turregeon said, 'I started
laughing at you.'"
Turgeon's first half miss was more the exception than the norm as Kansas jumped on K-State early and never surrendered the lead.

Streak reaches 48,ties Big 8 record
Associate sports editor
By NICOLE SAUZEK
Kansas' 84-67 win over Kansas State last night in Allen Field House brought the Jayhawk's home-court winning streak to 48, tying the current Big Eight Conference record held by Oklahoma.
The record will stand for this season because last night's game was also KU's final home game of the year.
The last Jayhawk loss at home was a 62 loss to Oklahoma in overtime Feb. 13.
"In three years, we haven't lost a ball game," Cedric Hunter said. "That's a great accomplishment."
The Jayhawk's victory, which brought them to 9-3 in the Big Eight
In addition to the streak, the Jayhawks came out against the Wildcats with another motivation because it was the last game in the field house for seniors Mark Turgeon and Hunter.
'Everyone came ready to play. It was Cedric and Mark's last game, and we wanted to make it special for them.'
"I thought, 'This is it.'" "Turgeon said. 'Let's go out and do it and keep the streak alive. It's something we started.'"
Mark Randall
Conference, put them one-half game ahead in the close conference race.
"They almost won the game for us a few times. The fans are just as big a part of the streak as we are."
It was also a confidence booster after a disappointing 95-86 loss Tuesday to Iowa State at Ames.
"We're very confident at home." Turgeon said earlier this week. "It's because of the fans. They give us a lift when we're down and give us an emotional boost."
"If it would have been close," Hunter said, "we would have found a way to win."
Last night, though, Kansas needed no extra support from the exuberant fans because the Jayhawks jumped out to an early 14-2 lead and never looked back.
"The crowd was phenomenal." Brown said. "It was nice for Cedric and Mark's last game. The team played great."
Still, support was tremendous from the overflow crowd of 15,900.
Hunter and Turgeon came on the floor with what looked like fire in their eyes, ready to play in front of their home crowd for the final time.
"I was a little disappointed with my first half," Turgeon said, "but I decided in the second half that I was going to give it my all."
Turgeon grabbed a career-high six rebounds and put up 11 shots.
"Turgeon thought he was a scorer," Brown said, joking after the game. "I'll have to straighten him out that. He will have to soak his arm."
Danny Manning's hot hand probab-
lywn't be on Brown's list of souk- wnts. Manning led both teams with 33 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds.
"We were going back into the locker room, and I realized that I was never going to play here again with them." Manning said of Turegon and his teammates. "It was hard. They just be a part of my game as Coach Brown is."
Team members said they agreed that the added effort to win was a dedication to the leadership Turgeon and Hunter had given the teams over the years and especially this year's young squad.
"Everyone came ready to play." said forward Mark Randall. "It was Cedric and Mark's last game, and we wanted to make it special for them." For the seniors, their field house careers have ended.
"I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night, and all I could think about today was the game," Turgeon said. "I guess tonight typified that it's been a great four years."
"I're really going to miss our fans, they make you feel very welcome."
