after every rebound, we'd probably have a chance to win, maybe even have a lead in a game like this," Brown said.
The closest Kansas got to retaking the lead was early in the second half, when Newton's three-point shot tied the game at 40. But Oklahoma outscored the Jayhawks 11-2 in a two-minute span.
Pritchard, who finished the night with 16 points and six rebounds, came back with more than 8 minutes left and cut the Sooners' lead to six with two free throws. His slam dunk with more than 5 minutes left cut the

Kansas tried to come back in the last 2 minutes but fouled seven times, and the Sooners capitalized by hitting eight free throws.

Oklahoma extended the lead to seven with Mookie Blaylock's free throws with 1:26 left. Blaylock, who finished with 19 points, three rebounds and four steals, missed the basket on the back end of a one and one with the Oklahoma lead at 10 points.
had a lot of success under Whitey," he said.
Outfielder Willie Wilson, who stole 59 bases last year, one less than league leader Harold Reynolds of Seattle, thinks he will set the pace again. But Wathan said he expected more stealing from Danny Tartabull, Kevin Seitzer and, if he wins a job, Bo Jackson.
Gary Thurman, contending for the left-field job with Jackson, led the American Association in steals last year with 58 for the Omaha Royals.
The Royals announced Tuesday that switch-hitting catcher Scotti Madison, who hit .267 when promoted to the majors last September, had signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract.
Sports Briefs
TARTABULH HOLDS OUT: Danny Tarburtbull became the first holdout in the 19-year history of the Kansas City Royals when he did not report for the team's first full-squad workout yesterday.
"We made a substantial move in our position," said General Manager John Scherholz. "I'm still cautious, but I need to do it done in a realistic time period."
The Royals' rightfielder, who hit 24 home runs and batted .301 last season, is seeking $425,000 from Kansas City, which has offered $252,000.
The Royals have told Tartabull that they will renew his contract at $290,000 if he does not accept their current offer.
Tartabell, who does not have the right to arbitration because he has played only for two years, said he is willing to fight for the Royals to meet his demands.
All players must be signed by March 11.
"We have a commitment for the fight on June 27. I am looking forward to it," said the New York real estate magnate and hotel owner.
"This is the biggest fight since Ali fought Frazier the last time. It is a great tribute to Atlantic City that Trump Plaza was able to get the fight." he said.

Jayhawk women defeat Oklahoma 71-68 as junior Richardson scores season high
While Tyson and Spinks agreed earlier to the fight in principle, the site and date had not been determined.

On a night that focused on the seniors, it was a junior who led the Kansas women's basketball team to a victory.
Kansan sports writer
Deborah Richardson, a 6-foot-4 center, scored a career high 21 points, earned eight rebounds and led the Kansas Jayhawks to a 71-68 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners last night at Allen Field House.
Richardson's previous high of 20 points came on Jan. 6 against the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She said Oklahoma put a lot of pressure on the outside shooters for Kansas, which opened up the inside.
"In the first half, I didn't take advantage of the inside being open." Richardson said. "In the second half, coach told me to take more shots. I started to make a lot of them, which helped me gain more confidence."
Richardson said that the Jayhawks ability to rebound and make baskets late in the game was the key to victory.
Kansas senior forward Lisa Baker scored 14 points and grabbed a team-high of 12 rebounds. The Jaya-hawks, 17-9 overall and 7-6 in the Big Eight Conference, outbounded the Sooners 53-46. Baker, who had eight offensive rebounds, said that the team played well in close ballgames.
"We seem to be able to keep our composure under pressure," Baker said. "When the game is on the line, the team seems to come together."
Baker, a 5-foot-9 native of Oklahoma City, has scored in double figures five times this season, four against teams from Oklahoma. Her season high of 27 points came Jan. 9 against Oklahoma City.
Baker said there was no special reason why she did well against Oklahoma teams. She said it was only a coincidence.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said Oklahoma, 14-11 overall and 7-6 in the Big Eight, played a fine game, and that the inside play of Richardson and Baker was needed in order

for the Jayhawks to win.
"Oklahoma outstudied us early, and we weren't playing under control." Washington said. "We settled down in the second half, and I thought our defense kept us in the game."
Both teams started out in a man-to-man defense, forcing a fast paced game. Kansas got in four trouble, Oklahoma getting an early 14-9 lead.
Washington started a small lineup, with Baker at center, trying to offset the Sooners quickness.
In the first half, the Sooners held Kansas to 32.5 percent field goal shooting, and built a 33-22 lead with 4:52 left. The Jayhawks cut the deficit to six points. 38-32 at halftime.
Oklahoma was able to have the lead for most of the first half, largely on the strength of guards Margaret McKeon and Laura Rushing. McKeon made three three-point baskets and Rushing two in the first half.
In the first five minutes of the second half, Kansas outscored Oklahoma eight to two, tying the score at 40. Baker said this part of the game was key in allowing the Jayhawks to make a back come.
Sandy Shaw made four of 16 baskets and one of six from beyond the three-point line, which gave the Jayhawks the lead for good, 53-51, with a basket at the 8 minute mark. Both teams played well down the
