LOSSES FROM LAST YEAR ('50 stats):
SEASON SUMMARY:
1951: On a trial basis
before the conference season started, teams were given the option of taking the
ball out of bounds or shooting free throws after a foul. In a game against St.
John’s, KU waived 26 free throw attempts. With 39 seconds remaining, and St.
John’s ahead 51-50, KU waived a FT and took the ball out under it’s own basket.
Bill Hougland’s shot bounced around the rim, and big Clyde Lovellette tipped it
in for the win. “Teams profit by fouling you,” Allen said. “I don’t want them
to have the ball. I want to show that the foul is too cheap.”
