Sports --- University Daily Kansan / Monday, March 19, 1990 9 Kansas nipped by final foul shots Continued from p. 1 a desperation shot that fell short as time expired. "Our feeling has been all along that if there's seven seconds or more on the clock we have time to get the ball inbounds and push it up and not allow them to set their defense." Coach Roy Williams said. "I took the second time out to make sure that everyone knew what to do and also in hopes Tracy would think about it a little more." Men's basketball OLA coach Jim Harrick said he likes to have Murray on the line at LAW. "He's a tremendous shooter," Harris said of the 6-foot-6 forward. Murray scored 12 points for the Bruins. The loss ended the Jayhawks' second most successful season in school history at 30-5. Kansas was nationally ranked at No.1 or No.2 since the second week of the season.

Williams said the loss would not take away from the success of the team. "If I'm fortunate enough to coach another 40 years, I will not be as lucky as I have been this year," he said. "UCLA's athletic ability really hurt us. There are a lot of coaches in America that can be happy with what their team has done — can be proud of their team — but no one can be more happy or more proud than I am." The game was close for most of its 40 minutes, and Kansas was ahead 36-35 at halftime. There were seven ties and seven lead changes. The Bruins' 14-4 run during the first five minutes of the second half gave them the biggest lead of the season to a 49-40 lead before Kansas recovered.

UCLA hit 25 of 59 for 42.4 percent and grabbed 30 of 60 in the range. Kansas hit 38.3 percent; UCLA shot 16.7 percent. The Bruins' biggest advantage came from the abundance of Kansas turnovers. The Jayhawks committed 16 LA's 12. UCLA also recorded 16 steals. "It think they played aggressive defense and put pressure on the ball." Pritchard said. "That makes it tough." Harrick said he thought Kansas was a well-coached and talented team. "I know how Roy Williams feels," he said. "I sat here in his position last year." The Bruins lost to North Carolina in Atlanta during the second round last year. Second-seeded Kansas advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament by beating the Eastern region's 15th seed, Robert Morris. The Colonials. 22-8 overall, gave the Jayhawks a run for their money, "They were very scrappy team," she said. "I really thought they were aggressive."
