Surprised I found this on youtube. A la the Lafester vs Iowa game posted recently.

From 1986. Big win over Kansas. I was a sophomore with rare great seats, not far behind our bench.

Close enough to get a bird's eye view of Johnny's justifiable meltdown of the Kansas airball of a free throw but with the subsequent awarding of the ball to KU on the inbounds play, towards the end of the first half. (Can't help wondering what TJ's reaction would be in the same circumstance).

Surprised I didn't remember how good Sam Hill was in this game. Though he did tend to come up big in games like this.

David Moss (remember him?) was an unsung hero. Got a well deserved ovation when he went back to the bench. Played a critical role with Sammy in foul trouble (eventually fouled out)

Could have been a much more comfortable win if not for horrific free throw shooting in the second half.

IIRC we were the only Big 8 team to beat KU that season. They went on to the final four.

Anyone else at this game?
