Free throws help stop Jayhawks
By a Kansan reporter
The Kansas women's basketball team dropped its second Big Eight Conference game, losing to the Oklahoma Sooners 81-67 last night in Norman.
The Jayhawks conference record now is 2- 7, 9 overall. Oklahoma, the defending conference champions, improved its Big Eight record to 2- 0 and 14-1 overall.
The difference in the game came from the free-throw line. Kansas hit only 11 of 21 from the line, for 52 percent. Oklahoma hit 33 of 45 free throws, 73 percent, outscoring the Jayhawks by 22 points.
A total of 54 fouls were called on the

Sooner guard Tami Rogers scored 18 points, and forward Jo Mosley added another 15.
At halftime Oklahoma led 41-36. Kansas went to the free-throw line eight times in the first half and hit only four, while Oklahoma was 11 for 17 at the line, helping them to their five-point lead at the intermission.
During much of the second half Kansas came within a point of the Sooners, but could not score the goahead basket.
The turning point of the game came with 8 minutes, 7 seconds left in the game. Martin went to the free-throw line for Kansas and hit one of two to cut the Sooner lead to one, 56-55

Kansas committed several turnovers, which Oklahoma capitalized on.

Kansas struggles after opening 3-1
By DIANE FILIPOWSKI Staff writer
After a 3-1 start before the semester break, the Kansas women's basketball team has struggled away from home in games and dropping its record to 7-4.
At this time last year, the Jayhawks were 9-4 and on their way to a second-place finish in the Big Eight team. Coach Marian Washington said Tuesday that the team's record was not a good indication of the team's success

Robert Coyne, announced academically ineligible Monday by Coach Larry Brown, has transferred to Dodge City Community College but may not have played his last basketball game as a Javahawk.
Coyne, a 6-foot-8 freshman forward in Denver, Colo., was declared ineligible for the remainder of the 1988-87 season by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
But Brown said Coyne would like to return to the University of Kansas as a junior college transfer.
"He wants to come back," Brown said. "We want him to come back." Coyne transferred to Dodge City over Christmas break.
1. Under NCAA rules, Coyne would have had to pass eight credit hours to remain eligible for play this semester, according to Paul Buskirk, KU academic administrative assistant.
"With two-se semester sports, in order for a first-semester freshman or junior college transfer to be eligible to continue play during the next semester, he must pass eight hours of class during his first semester here," Buskirk said.
According to Wayne Baker, eligibility administrator for the National Junior College Athletic Association, Coyne will not be eligible to play for Dodge City until next season.
Coyne's eligibility was in question before the beginning of the 1986-87 season by the NCAA under Proposition 48, the new entrance guidelines for freshman.
"The earliest he would be able to play would be next fall," Baker said. "And, in order for him to play, he will have to pass 24 credit hours with a f.75 grade point average."
He was declared eligible to play in early October, after an investigation of his high school transcript by NCAA officials.
"This is a tough school," Brown said. "I hate losing players like this."
Coyne was a highly-recruited forward coming out of Denver West High School. He averaged 28 points and 11 rebounds a game and was named to Street and Smith's honorable mention All-America team. He was also the Denver-area Co-Player of the Year in 1985.
'Hawks must slow down Sooners

Coach Larry Brown prepares the men's basketball team for tonight's game against the Oklahoma Sooners. The meeting will be the second Big Eight Conference game of the season for both teams.
By DAVID BOYCE Staff writer
The Kansas men's basketball team must overcome its past sluggish performances on the road against Michigan. The team ma队 at it tonight in Norman.
The offensive-minded Sooners are averaging about 91 points a game and Brown said Kansas would have to alter their fast-breaking style to win.
For the Sooners, Coach Larry Brown is planning a more deliberate game to control the tempo.
The Sooners have a 10-3 record, 0-1 in the Big Eight Conference, despite the three losses, Brown is as talented and cooks as ever at talented and cooks as ever
His game plan will be a more disciplined style, a style not seen often from the Jayhawks since Brown took over four years ago.
But Brown said going to a more discipline game plan did not mean he had decided to use a half-court or make the pass. He could make to make Oklaheim skid detention.
"One thing we must accomplish to win will be rebounding and defending well." Brown said.
The Jayhawks inconsistency away from Allen Field House concerns Brown.
Brown said the team had not played well on the road, although he thought the team began turning around against Oklahoma State.
The Jayhawks defeated the Cowboys in Stillwater Sunday, 66-63 and stayed undefeated in the Big Eight with a 2-0 record.
"Some people said we did not play well there because we only won by three points," Brown said, and they played a great game against us.
Against the Sooners, Brown said he was more concerned about defense and rebounding but said the team needed to shoot well from the outside to take pressure off of Danny Manning.
Because teams have been double- and triple-teaming Manning, Brown said he thought Manning's confidence was down.
Manning will battle returning starters 6- 3arryl Kennedy and 6-7 David Johnson inside. A newcomer to the Sooners this year is 6-9 forward Harvey Grant, a junior college transfer.
"I plan to give him the ball more and a little more freedom," Brown said.
"Harvey Grant is a good player, and he makes up for the departure of Anthony Bowie." Brown said.
in order for the defenses to pull off Manning, the guards need to shot and hit the outside jumper.
"Everyone who has watched us play knows we are playing hard." Washington said. "The record does not show the kind of competitors the Jayhawks are."
The Jayhawk's game against Oklahoma yesterday concluded the 10th of an 11 game stretch on the road where the team suffered several narrow losses and some controversial officiating.
The officiating had been questionable in several losses, Washington said.
"When going against other conferences, you have no control over the officials," she said. "You cannot overcome a game situation when a team is shooting 50 free throws against you."
The Kansas women's basketball team played 11 games during the winter break, winning four and losing seven.
Kansas 78, Drake 63
The Jayhawks played a consistent game Dec. 8 at Drake shooting 63 percent from the field. Lisa Dougherty, who scored a team high 15 points, was one of four Jayhawks to reach double figures. Jackie Martin grabbed 9 rebounds.
The Jahayhaks dominated Pittsburg State Dec. 13 at Lawrence. Six Jahayhaks players scored in double figures with Lisa Doughtyher leading the way with 14. Lynn Page was the Jahayhak's top rebounder with 7.

Creighton 62, Kansas 58
At Creighton Dec. 23, the Blue Jayts took a 25-22 lead over the Jayhawks just before halftime. The score remained close until three minutes left in the game when Kansas fell behind by 12 points.

JV defeats Baker despite long break
Bv ROB KNAPP
Three weeks of inactivity during semester break didn't leave the Kansas JV basketball team out of shape. The Jayhawks hustled to a big early lead and beat the Baker University JV squad 92-80 last night at Allen Field House, evening their record at 4-4.
"I needed to have everybody play because we just got back from break and we probably weren't in very good shape," Coach R.C. Buford said. "We'd only practiced three times before we played."
The Jayhawks looked ready to run in the first five minutes of the game. An agressive Kansas defense keyed several fastbreaks and helped build a 20-3 lead about seven minutes into the first half.
Forward Rusty Hymer led Kansas in both scoring and rebounding. Hymer scored 27 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. Jeff Palmer scored 22 points for the Jayhawks and Wes Hendricks added 14 points
"They came out and took control of the game," Buford said of the team. "That was up to them, and they made it happen on their own."
and 9 rebounds.
John O'Donnell scored a gamehigh 29 points for Baker and also led all rebounders with 11. Darryl Letcher chipped in 23 points for the Wildcats.
Kansas led 48-30 at the half and stretched their lead to 24 points with 16:45 left in the game. Baker fans, who outnumbered the Jayhawk supporters, began to make noise when their team pulled to within 13 points with about 12 minutes remaining.
But Palmer quieted the crowd and broke a three-minute Kansas scoring drought when he drove the lane, scored and was fouled.
Twelve different players played for the Jayhawks.
