Second-half surge carries Jayhawks over Miami
Bv ROB KNAPP
Staff writer
It wasn't the kind of close game that the Jayhawk faithful have become used to.
But after eight straight games full of late comebacks, overtime periods and last-second shots, the "Heart Attack" "Hawks took the day off.
Men's Basketball
Kansas pushed its running game into full gear and outscored Miami 32-6 during a 10-minute stretch in the
second half, killing all the suspense of a close first half and winning 82-47. "It feels good to break one open." Jawbone forward Chris Poirer said.
Not since an 82-52 victory over Texas Tech on Dec. 20 had Kansas won or lost a game by more than five points. The average margin of victory in the eight games since Texas Tech was less than three points a game.
The Miami game seemed at first as if it would take its place as nail-biter number nine. After Miami took a 6-point lead on a dunk by guard Dennis Burns, Kansas pulled within two points on two jump shots by Piper and tied the game at 20 with a Danny Manning tip-in.
Mark Turgeon's jump shot with 20 seconds left in the third half gave the Cavaliers an advantage.
Kansas is ten 10-5 overall and 2-1 in the Big Eight Conference. The team meets Missouri tommorrow in Allen Field House. Miami dropped to
But the Hurricanes subsided when the Kansas fast break, which has surfaced only occasionally this season, reappeared with a vengeance.
After a steal by Cedric Hunter, Manning scored on a layup with 17:33 left in the game and put the Jayhawks ahead for good. 28:27. Manning fed Hunter underneath for
next Kansas basket.
Miami Center Tilt Horford scored on a hook shot with about 16 minutes left and pulled the Hurricanes within one point, but the Jayhawk defense did not allow Miami another field goal until 6:18 was left in the game.
Kansas coach Larry Brown said the second half wasn't as much a challenge.
"Our defense played pretty good the first half," Brown said. "It got better. Every area showed improvement in the second half."
Turgeen, KU guard, said despite the close halftime score, he wasn't nervous about the possible outcome."
"I knew we were going to go out and play well," he said. "Coach Brown told us to go out and do what was calm. We was calm. What not pleased, but calm."
Brown said the play of guards Hunter and Turgeon was the best by a Javhawk backcourt this season.
"Hunter's play was so unselfish," brown said. "And Purgon gave us a great story."
Manning was the game's high scorer with 19 points, leading a balanced KU attack. Eleven players scored for the Jawhaws.
Brown also had praise for 6-10 Sean Alvarado and 6-9 Mark Pellock, each of whom spent part of the game guarding 7-1 Hortford. Hortford tied Burns as high scorer for the Hurricanes with 13 points and spent the early part of the game pounding it out with Danny Manning inside. But two early personal fouls forced him to play a more conservative game.
Manning also led both teams in rebounds with 12.
"I was scared I was going to go out." Horford said, "I was just trying to be stupid. I was
Despite the blowout, Brown and his players said the young Miami program had a promising future. The
University of Miami reinstated its basketball program last year after dropping it 16 years ago.
"This is going to be a great basketball team," Brown said of the Hurricanes. "Hortor is going to be a force."
The Jayhawks are scheduled to play at Miami during the 1988-89 season.

Snow didn't stop faithful KU fans
By DAWN O'MALLEY
The attendance for the game was 15,500, only 300 less than capacity.

Despite ice-covered streets, snowdrifts and sub-zero temperatures, thousands of fans trudged to Allen Field House Saturday to see the Kansas men's basketball team take on Miami.
"I've never seen it (fan support) better than here," said guard Mark Turgeon. "Oklahoma has lost three and the fans have already given up on the team."
The Jayhawks, with a 10-5 overall record, already have lost more games this year than all of last year. But fans still are swarming to games, arriving as early as the day before the game to insure themselves a seat.
The line to get into the field house began forming at 5 p.m. Friday with Mark Hershman waiting for the doors to open the following day. By 11 p.m., the line had grown to seven people, who passed the time playing cards, talking and to keep warm.
Hershman, St. Louis senior, said he
hadn't noticed the weather had worsened. His only worry seemed to be getting a good seat.
With the 82-47 victory over Miami, the Jayhawks home-court winning streak now stands at 41 games.
"We go out and play and use that home streak to get us going," said guard Cedric Hunter. "We don't want to end our streak. It is a great accomplishment."
The Jayhawks will face Missouri this week and Notre Dame and Oklahoma next month.

Mitt Newton, KU guard, misses a dunk attempt with about four minutes remaining in the second half against the University of Miami in Allen Field House. Newton finished Saturday's game with 11 points, shooting 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.
Women's basketball team halts losing streak

With less than a minute to go and KU up by only three points, point guard Lisa Braddley stepped to the tree-throw line for a one-and-one.
The gayhawks had blaed a 14-point halftime lead and were trying to hold off a late rally by the Oklahoma State Cowgirls.
"I was a little nervous because the game was close and I knew I bad to hit them to put the game out of reach." Braddy said.
Braddy hit the two free throws and put the Jayhawk up by five.
The Jayhawks hung on and beat Oklahoma State, 67-61, for their first Big Eight Conference victory, ending a three-game losing streak.
"It is a beginning," forward Jackies Martinez said. The team is getting together to pick up the game.
Martin led the team in rebounding with 11, while scoring 13. Lisa Braddy and Evette Ott shared high-scoring honors with 13.
This balanced scoring attack and pressure defense helped give the Jayhawks a commanding 42-28 halftime lead, said Brady.
"Early in the game we played great defense," Braddy said. "They
had trouble handling our press."
Bradady said the Jayhawks matched up well against the Cowgirls. She said both teams were quick and had strong inside games.
But the Jayhawks were not able to maintain their dominance in the second half.
"Oklahoma State adjusted well at halftime, and they played more zone and slowed the tempo down." Braddy said.
She said Oklahoma State tried to run with Kansas early and failed, so in the second half the Cowgirls slowed the game down and pulled close.
The adjustment by the Cowgirls made the game close, but good free-throw shooting by the Jayhawks insured the victory.

Tough two-a-day practices paid off for both the men's and women's swim teams in a dual meet Saturday against Arkansas in Fayetteville.
The women's squad beat the Razorbacks 73-40 in what Coach Gary Kempf described as a solid performance throughout the lineup.
The women's squad won both the meet's relays, the 400-yard medley relay and the 400-yard
freestyle relay, earning 14 team points.
Liz Duncan turned in one of the top individual performances for the Jayhawks, capturing first place in two events. Duncan, a senior from Opelika, Ala., won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24 seconds and the 100-yard freestyle in 52.3 seconds.
Although the men's team lost to the Razorbacks 79-34, Kempf said many of the men swam well against strong competition.
