17 Mondav. March 28, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Sports Barry follows dad's advice, scores career high Scooter's field goals and free throws help Jayhawks win Final Four berth The Associated Press PONTIAC, Mich. — Rick Barry brought the Pontiac Silverdome fans to their feet yesterday. Not basketball Hall-of-Famer Rick Barry, but his son, Richard Barry IV, a 6-foot-3 guard for the University of Kansas. The son who Kansas fans call Scooter. "It was given to me by my parents," Barry said of his nickname. "I used to scoot around when I was little, crawl around like an inchworm and then pop up and run — never walked. "It definitely stuck with me," he said. Some of his dad's instincts also seem to have rubbed off. Scooter Barry, a junior, scored 15 points, five over his previous career high, as Kansas beat Kansas State 71-58 yesterday for the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional Championship. "I talked to him last night," Scooter said of his father, who didn't attend the game. "He told me not to miss any more free throws, because I went four-for-six in the last game. He's always thinking 'score' so I tried not to miss them." Dad's advice paid off. Scooter hit five of six shots, including his only three-point attempt, and all four free throws. "we shot the ball thinking we were going to make them, that's why they went in," Barry said. "We knew that they were going to be aware of Danny, so Coach wanted the outside players to shoot. "I never consider a great shooter, but I think I can shoot it and I hope I proved it today," he said. Wherever he has played, the questions and comparisons to his dad begin. "It itted me because I grew up around the game," the younger Berry said. "But comparisons are really kind of stupid. We don't play the same position; we don't have the same mentality on the court." The comparisons bothered him at DeLaSalle High School at Concord, Calif, where he was an all-conference selection his senior year, "but at this level there haven't been that many because I've never scored (more than) 10 points in a game." Until Sunday. Barry had seven points by halftime, second only to Manning's 10. His three-point basket with three seconds left until halftime brought Kansas to within two, at 29-27. In the second half, Barry helped the Jayhawks blow the game open, hitting a layup to put Kansas up 61-50 with 2:08 left. Twelve seconds later, he was fouled by grabbing a rebound and hit two free throws. He also snared a rebound that resulted in a fast-break basket with 1:44 left. Barry finished with five rebounds, tying a career high. "It was a case where they were shooting three-pointers, and we knew they were going to get long rebounds," Barry said, "so we wanted the guards to help out on the boards." Was Barry, son of Barry, on the top of Kansas coach Larry Brown's depth chart at the start of the season? "He wasn't anywhere." Brown said.

History favors Duke By Tom Stinson Sophomore Danny Manning and senior Greg Dreiling combined for only 10 points. Junior Archie Marshall went down with a knee injury after one of his finest collegiate performances. And the University of Kansas campus spent a very quiet evening on March 29, 1986. The Duke Blue Devils had shut down the Jayhawks 71-67 and ended Kansas' Final Four season and its hopes of a national title — at least for a couple of years. Kansan sports writer Kansas, making its eighth Final Four appearance, gets another shot at Duke this Saturday in Kemper Arena. This is the sixth Final Four trip for Duke. This will be the fourth meeting between the two teams and the second this year. Duke has won the first three. In 1986, Duke was ranked number one and Kansas was number two before the Final Four in Dallas. Experts thought the national championship game would be a media game, and media-hype had the whole country's eyes focused on the game. The eyes also were focused on Manning's most disappointing performance in a Kansas uniform. A red Kansas uniform. Manning went two for nine from the field and spent most of the game on the bench in foul trouble. Dreiling and junior guard Cedric Hunter were also in foul trouble and spent time on the bench. Duke was led by All-American Johnny Dawkins with 24 points, and freshman Derry Ferry, a secondteam All-American this year, had eight. The Blue Devils beat Kansas earlier that season 92-86 in the finals of the Big Apple National Invitational Tournament in New York. The two losses were half of the Jayhawks defeats during the 34- season. In last month's meeting with Duke, Kansas jumped to an early lead before the shooting of junior guard Quin Snyder evened the game and sent it into overtime. Kansas had a five point lead in overtime, but Duke come back to win 74-70. Snyder scored 21 points and Ferry had 20. Manning led Kansas with 31 points and 12 rebounds. This will be the fourth time the Jayhawks have played in the Final Four in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas lost in the tournament's final game the other three times. With the phenomenal Wilt Chamberlain averaging almost 30 points per game in 1957, Kansas lost to North Carolina 54-53. The triple-overtime game was the longest in NCAA Tournament history. Kansas fell to Indiana in the other two Kansas City finals. Indiana won 69-68 in 1953 and 60-42 in 1940. This will be Larry Brown's third coaching appearance in the Final Four.

Timely hitting pushes Jayhawks past Hornets By Tom Stinson Kansan sports writer Kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham did something Saturday that the Kansas baseball team had been trying to do to him for years. The first-year Kansas team spent 14 years coaching Emporia State, and the last two years he beat the Jayhaws. At Saturday's doubleheader, Bingham's Jayhaws defeated the Hornets 18-8 and 8-5 at Hoglund-Paundin Stadium. "This is very special in a lot of ways," said Bingham, who led Emporia State to the NAIA National Championship in 1978. "Nothing against Emporia State, but it's a club that KU's had a lot of trouble with. It's nice to beat a good club. "It was hard to play against them. A lot of those kids I recruited. Some of them took us to the (NAIA) World Series." Sophomore Brad Hinkle, 3-1, led the Jayhawks in the first game, pitching five and one-third innings and allowing five earned runs. "Hinkle coming back (from an arm injury) has helped out a lot." Bingham said. "He got both wins down south. Hinkle makes mistakes, but he doesn't give up the big one. Brad has been the big key." Freshman Curtis Shaw and senior Mike McLee pitched in relief for Kansas before the game was called on the 10-run rule. Junior Craig Mulcahy won the second game, pitching six innings and allowing four earned runs. In 3-0, recorded seven strikeouts. Junior Dan Benningshoff hit the game winning RBI with the bases loaded in the sixth run. His three runs and broke a 5-12 tie. "We were pressed today and we handled it well," Bingham said. "I was confident they would win. There were a couple of situations where we had to have something good happen and somebody did it. "Dan's hit took the pressure off our pitchers. It was his only hit all day. And that's the type of thing I'm talking about."
