Last night's women's basketball game against Missouri looked a lot like the men's game Tuesday night. But, instead of Chris Piper stepping up to the free throw line to secure the win for Kansas, it was Lisa Bradyd

who shot two free throws with 37 seconds remaining.
Only Bradday made both attempts to put Kansas ahead 7-4.1. KU went 6-2.
"When I got to the line, I told myself these are good, I know it," Braddy said.
Coach Marian Washington said that her players had been in pressure situations before during the season, of the team's wins had been close.
"The players have developed poise this season," Washington said. "I had confidence that she would knock them in."

Sandy Shaw, who scored 14 points for the Jayhawks, said, "In the past, we have ad the tendency to make mistakes and lose our lead. But we proved tonight that we can pull together and win as a team."
Missouri's All-America candidate, Renee Kelly, was stopped by Kansas' defense in the first half. Kelly, who tops the Big Eight averaging 26 points and 10 rebounds, only scored four points in the first half.
"We knew we would have to stop her, double team her, triple team her if possible, if we wanted to win," Shaw said.
Jackie Martin, who scored 10 points and helped Shaw defend Kelly, said she saw this strategy as a challenge.

'Hawks play 3rd straight at home
From Kansan wires

The Kansas men's basketball team finishes its third consecutive home game tonight when it meets the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 8:05 in Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks, 11-5 and 3-1 in big Eight Conference play, will try and move their home-game winning streak to within five games of Oklahoma's conference record. The Sooners 48-game streak at home ended last season with an 87-80 loss to Kansas.
In addition, Coach Larry Brown will attempt to extend his personal winning streak against Nebraska Brown's Jayhawk teams are 7-0 against the Cornelks.
Nebraska enters the game 11-5 and 1-2 in the Big Eight. The Huskers will try to rebound from a 91-75 loss to Iowa State Tuesday.
"It's a conference game," Brown said. "We just had a big victory over Missouri. We can't afford to take anybody lightly."
Senior guard Barr Carr, averaging 12 points a game, leads the team in assists and attack. Four players are scoring at least of more than 10 points a contest.
Carr is chasing the conference career assist record, but Jayhawk guard Cedric Hunter is right behind him. Jeff Hornacek, who had 665 assists for Iowa State during the 1983
to 1986 seasons, holds the mark.
Former Kansas guard Darnell Valentine is second with 609. Carr ranks third, with 594 assists, and Hunter is fourth with 590.

teams twice advanced to the National College Athletic Association

Nee has compiled a career record of 118-72, a winning percentage of 69.4%.

No.33 wins praise

Jeff Gueldner, No. 33 in the program, has been the Kansas men's basketball team's mystery man this year. On a squad composed of returning lettermen and heavily recruited freshmen, his
race is probably the least familiar Jayhawana. But Guildel. 6-foot 5-foot 5-member guard is working to end his anonymity He played a
season-high 11 minutes in the game against Missouri and received post-game praise from Coach Larry Brown.
"He really deserves to play." Brown said. "He's one of our best players. He does it every day in practice."
Before the Missouri game, Gueldner had appeared in seven games and played only 18 minutes, the least playing time any Jayhawk has had this season. But against the Tigers, Gueldner was one of the players selected to guard Derrick Chievous, the Big Eight Conference scoring leader
"He's a great scorer." Guelder said. "I knew that if I got tired they could take me out and put someone new on him."
Gueldner played high school
basketball at Charleston High School in Illinois, a school with an enrollment just under 900. He averaged 17 points and 9.1 rebounds a game during his senior year and was selected to the all-state team. He also received all-league honors his junior and senior seasons and was selected as his team's most valuable player both years.
Although freshmen Kevin Pritchard, Mark Randall and Keith Harris have received more attention, Gueldner said he wasn't envious.
In the meantime, Guelderen is not setting his sights too high. But he has hoped fans would learn the name that goes with No. 33.
"All the other freshmen have a reputation, but they have some extra pressure," he said. "I knew when I was recruited I wasn't coming here to be the star."
Gueldner took no shots during his time against Missouri. "Sometimes in the back of my mind I knew I had the open shot," he said, "but in the front of my mind I knew I had to try and help the team."
He said he would shoot more as his playing time and confidence grew.
"I want to work hard so when I come into the game, the crowd will respond and I won't let them down," he said.
"I'm real proud of him," Brown said. "If he does well in practice, he'll play."
Huffman to have exploratory surgery on ankle
By DIANE FILIPOWSKI Staff writer
Huffman, who finished third in the pole vault at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor Track Championships last year, could be out for the remainder of the indoor season.
With a month left in the indoon track season, Kansas All-America pole vaulter Scott Huffman has decided to have exploratory surgery next week on his right ankle.
Ken Wertzberger, Kansas team orthopedic physician, said Monday that
he would perform exploratory arthroscopic surgery on Huffman's ankle because he was not sure about the nature of the injury.
Huffman, Quinter junior, has been suffering from a sore ankle. He has been vaulting and finished second last Saturday at the Missouri Valley Age Group and Open Championships Pavilion with a vault of 17 feet.
In Oklahoma City last weekend, Huffman failed to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships from March 13 to 14. Therefore, the conference meet would be his last chance to quality. Qualifying height for the championships is 17-foot-4.
"There must be something catching in the ankle that does not show up on the X-rays." Wertzberger said. "Performing the arthroscopy would be a way to find out for sure."
Wertzberger said he did not know how long it would be before Huffman could compete and train again because he did not know the seriousness of the injury.
Rick Attig, men's assistant track coach and Huffman's vaulting coach, said Huffman wanted the surgery performed now so that he could possibly compete in the Big Eight State Championships Feb. 28 in Nebraska.
"He has been working through the pain, but he has decided that he does not want it to stop him from doing something later." Attig said.
Huffman said yesterday, "I don't want to go through the rest of the season like this. I want to get it done so that I can go one hundred percent in the outdoor season."
Attig said that Huffman had been having problems with his ankle since October.
