Kansas beat the Wildcats 80-75 in double overtime last night. Perhaps the meter, like the players and fans, was not the most 60 minutes of end-to-end basketball.
Kansas State had a chance to win the game during regulation with the score tied 61-61 and three seconds left. K-State's Norris Coleman was fouled in the lane by Cedric Hunter on Friday, shooting the shooter this season, calmly stepped to the line and missed the front end of a one-and-one.
"I thought it was good when it left my hands," Coleman said. "I feel bad that I missed the free throws that I did."
Kansas went into overtime without forward Danny Manning, who led the Jayhawks with 29 points, high for the game, and 10 rebounds.
Manning打 out with 58 seconds left in regulation time. "All I could do was sit there and cheer," Manning said.
The Jayhawks took a 67-65 lead with 2:06 remaining in the first overtime on a 3-point shot by Kevin Pritchard. Kansas held the lead and the ball late into the period until the Wildcats stole a Chris Pierpass. Mitch Richmond hit a layup and tied the score at 67.
The Jayhawk's missed a chance to win in the first overtime when Hunter lost the ball while driving the lane. A scramble ensued. Before the Jayhawk, he ran into the second shot clock run out. The game then went into a second overtime.
KU took an early 69-76 lead in the second overtime on a layup by Hunter. But Coleman then drew two quick fouls from Mark Pellock.
Pellock fouled out, leaving the Jayhaws without any services of the staff.
Coleman hit the front end of a one- and one-the first time and hit both free throws the second time, putting K-State ahead 70-69.
Jayhawk center Pellock battles Kansas State's Mitch Richmond for a rebound during the first half of last night's game. Kansas defended the Wildcats 80-75 in double overtime at Ahearn Field House in Manhattan.
KU took the lead for good when Keith Harris scored and was fouled by K-State's Charles Bledsoe with 1:35 remaining in the second overtime. Harris missed the foul shot, but K-State could not score its next time
