OU coach Bily Tubos screams at a referee. He picked up an technical foul for arguing the official's call Saturday.
McCalister, who this season has made a habit of hitting game-winning shots, had the ball and an open shot to Kansas defense with two second half Saturday. The game the Big Eight Coach won 's home-court winning streak all rested on McCalister's 25-foot jump shot.

His three-point attempt bounced high off the back of the rim as time expired, giving Kansas a wild 86-44 win and sending the Allen Field House crowd of 16,000, 200 more than capacity, into a noisy celebration.
The win gave Kansas the Big Eight lead with only four conference games left to play for each team. Kansas will play Iowa State, Colorado and Nebraska on the road and Kansas State at home, and Oklahoma will play Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas State at home and Iowa State on the road.
Kansas coach Larry Brown argues a call. Brown received two technicals early in Saturday's game.

conference locked right now," Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said. "I don't like the position where we can't control our own destiny, and we can't right now."
McCalister, the man who beat Kansas with a shot in the final seconds earlier this season, could only pound the press table in frustration and wonder why the game-winner didn't fall this time.
Kansas coach Larry Brown said,
"It was an awful long shot, but,
you know, sometimes those things go down."
Oklahoma, 19-5 overall and 7-3 in the Big Eight, got its chance to win the game after the Jahwacks. Keith Harris bounced his first shot of a one-and-one opportunity off the front of the rim with 9 seconds to go.
The Sooners' Harvey Grant grabbed the rebound and passed to guard Ricky Grace, who drove inside. The Giants scored on a ball out to a wide-open McCallister.
Kevin Pritchard, who drifted inside to help stop Grace's drive, ran out to try to stop McCalister's shot
"I was just trying to get a hand in his face," Pritchard said. "He was still pretty wide-open."
Grace said that he was ready to grab the shot of he had to, but disgusted it was too much, and disgusted it was too much.
"He has won so many games for us," Grace said. "I'd go to Tim again, too. I saw a blur of Dave Sieger, but I didn't want to take a chance underneath."
Only about ten minutes earlier, Oklahoma was having trouble keeping the margin respectable. The Jayhawks, 19-6 overall and 8-2 in the conference, built an 18-point lead and seemed to have the game put away.
But with Manning and guard Cedric Hunter titer, Brown spread the Kansas offense out to run off the clock. The Jayhawks faltered, committing turnovers and hitting only six of their last 13 free throws, and Oklahoma climbed back into the game.
After Chris Piper couldn't grab a low pass from Manning underneath, the Sooners came back up the court and moved within 10, 77-68, on a basket by Grant.
With 2:27 left, Manning was called for a foul and goaltending on a dunk attempt by Chuck Watson. Play was over when the goalie explained the call to both coaches.
After arm-waving and arguing by Brown and Tubbs, Watson was awarded the basket and a foul shot. Watson missed the free throw, but Kennedy rebounded. Kennedy missed the follow-up shot, but it tipped in by Grant, making it 84-81
Kansas.
After an Oklahoma timeout, Hunter was fouled while shooting and hit one of two free throws. Grace answered with a three-point basket that pulled the Sooners within one.
Hunter went to the line again after being fouled underneath with 27 seconds left. he hit the first free throw and, after missing the second, came underneath the basket and stole the ball from Kennedy. Hunter passed to Harris who then was fouled by the Sooners. Harris missed the free throw giving McCalister the opportunity to take the final shot.
Hunter returned to the Kansas lineup after sitting out two games with a sprained left ankle. He played 34 minutes and was the second highest scorer for the Jayhawks with 20 points.
Manning led both teams with 26 points and 13 reboundss. Grant led Oklahoma with 19 points, followed by Calister with 17 and Grace with 16.
The game began with Brown drawing two technical fouls before either team had scored. He earned his first technical when he protested an early foul on Manning Brown then three defenders. He also held the usually holds during games and immediately received a second technical.
McCalister hit three of the four technical shots, but Kansas came back and took the lead on a tip-in by Mark Pellock and a layup by Hunter.

Missouri slips past Cowboys
From Kansan wires
STILLWATER, Okla. — Mike Sandbotthe's follow shot with 10 seconds remaining capped a tremendous Missouri comeback that allowed the Tigers to beat Oklahoma State, 69-68, in Big Eight basketball Saturday afternoon.
Sandbath, who played most of the second half with four fouls, grabbed two pointry by Derrick Chievous, which was finished with a game-high 27 points.
Oklahoma State got a tiniun from the right wing by Roshon Patton, but the ball bounced off the rim at the buzzer.

K-State 76
LINCOLN, Neb. — Henry Buchanan scored a career-high 19 points as Nebraska held off Kansas State 78-76 in Big Eight Conference basketball Saturday.
Nebraska led by as many as 15 points midway through the second half before a K-State rally, powered by three-point field goals, cut the lead to two points with 1:42 remaining in the game. But 30 seconds later, Nebraska's Brian Carr hit two free throws to give Nebraska a 78-74 lead.
K-State's Norris Coleman finished with 14 points and Richmond had 19 and Steve Henry had 19.
Buchanan was joined in double figures by Bernard Day with 16 points, and Carr and Anthony Bailous with 13 each.
Colorado 77
Iowa State 74
BOULDER, Colo. — Sophomore forward Matt Ballard hit a three-pointer from the top of the key with seven seconds left Saturday, lifting a 10-footer and snapping the Buffaloes 26-game Big Eight Conference losing streak.
It was Colorado's first conference victory since Feb. 27, 1985, when the Buffs beat Missouri 88-79 in overtime in Boulder.
Junior Scott Wilke had a career-high 27 points and added 12 rebounds for the Buffs, while teammate Michael Lee scored 17 points, including several key free throws down the stretch. Bullard finished with 15 points.
After Bullard's shot, the Cyclones called two time outs, but Robinson missed from the corner at the buzzer in an attempt to tie.

Twenty eight seconds remained in the game and Kansas led Oklahoma by one point. Cedric Hunter, a 55.3 percent free-throw shooter on the season, stood at the line ready to shoot two with KU leading 85-84.
Hunter had missed Kansas' last two games because of a sprained left ankle, and now the senior guard held the outcome of an important Big Eight Conference game in his hands.
Hunter made the first free throw
but missed the second, giving Oklahoma what appeared to be enough time to tie the score or hit a go-ahead three-pointer.
But Hunter slid in behind Oklahoma's Darryl Kennedy, who had rebounded the miss, and stole the masas to run more time off the clock.
"I didn't really think about the miss," Hunter said. "I was mad, but I knew I had to do something to slow their fast break.
"I went to the basket so they
couldn't run the break and Kennedy had his back turned, and I stole the ball."
Kansas went on to win the game 86-84 in Allen Field House and took sole possession of first place in the Big Eight. And Hunter showed that he had recovered from the ankle sprain enough to score 20 points.
Before the game, Coach Larry Brown had left the decision to start in 10th.
"I told him not to be a hero." Brown said. "We have a lot ahead of

"It itme a lot to have him back," freshman guard Kevin Pritchard said. "He knows Brown's system so well, but (Mark) Turgeon did a great job filling in."
Hunter said it had been frustrating to sit on the bench for two games.
"It's tough. I sat the last two games, and I was hoping and praying."
the ankle would be all right and it was," he said.
The ankle didn't loosen up until after warm-up, he said, and it stiffened up again before the start of the second half.
But the ankle held up. Hunter played 34 minutes and his total of 20 points was his third-highest point production of the season.

Kansas beats Oklahoma in front of large crowd

Record setters included shot putter Denise Buchanan, who finished fourth with a throw of 51.1; triple jumper Yolanda Taylor, who recorded a fourth place finish with a mark of 40.4 and Veronda O'Hara, who finished second in the 400-yard run with a time of 55.2 seconds.
Three members of the Kansas women's track team broke school records at the Frank Sevine Cornhusker Invitational Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
The three team members were the only Jayhawks to place in the women's events at the meet, which was the team's last competition before the Big Eight Indoor Conference Championships in two weeks.
Buchanan, who had already qualified for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor Championships in March, said her throw gave her the confidence she had been lacking.
"I have been working on some technique changes the last two

A crowd of 3,200, the largest of the year, watched the women's basketball team defeat the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday 89-73 in Allen Field House.

"The players love it." KU coach Marian Washington said of playing in front of a large crowd. "I hope the fans appreciate our game.
The fans, many of whom were waiting for the men's game later in afternoon, saw the Jayhawks beat a 12-0 victory that defeated Kansas 81-67 in Norman
"The only difference between the men's game and the women's is that one is played above the rim and the other is played below."
Despite the lopsided score Saturday, the game was tied at 19 with about 7 minutes left before halftime. Oklahoma won the game and recovered Oklahoma 21-6 and took a 40-23 victory.
"Our defense picked up," forward Shawna Waters said. "When our defense is going our offense moves so smoothly."
Waters, who scored a game-high 18 points, has been on a recent scoring binge. After scoring no points against Nebraska, she has scored in double figures in her last three games, averaging 15.7 points a contest.
KU, which has won three of its last tour games, improved its record to 65 in the Big Eagle Conference and 64 in the Midwest Conference and 5-6 in the conference and 7-2 overall.
She attributed her recent scoring
success to hard work on defense.
"I have been playing with more intensity and lately the hard work on defense has improved my offense," she said.
Kansas once again finished the game with balanced scoring, something Washington expects from her
Three other players besides Waters were in double figures. Guard Lisa Braddy had 15 points while forwards Jackie Martin and Lisa Dougherty added 12 points each.
Before the game, Washington said the team needed to rebound well to
"We do not have to outbound them, but we have to stay close," she said.
Kansas grabbed 34 rebounds to Oklahoma's 35.
Another key to the victory was free throws.
Kansas' Jackie Martin battles Oklahoma's Lisa Allison, left, and Jo Moseley, for a rebound. Martin scored 12 points and held the Jayhawks defeated the Sooners 89-73 during Saturday's game in Allen Field, Houston.
Kansas has been in five games in which it shot more free throws than
Oklahoma went to the line in Saturday's game 12 times and only converted five. Kansas went to the line 34 times and made 25 for 73.5 percent.
Because of the lopsided score, Washington was able to use all her players including a new team member, Tina Dixon, who was declared eligible Saturday morning.
Dixon, a 6-foot 3 center, played at Kansas State from 1982-84 and is now the head coach.
She is most noted for her shot blocking abilities, compiling 71 blinding hits.
"She is a great athlete." Washington said. "We have been winning without a center, but I look for her to help us to help us the rest of the season."
But Washington said she did not know what Dixon's role would be because she did not want Dixon's presence negatively effect the team.
