SEASON SUMMARY:
HIGHLIGHTS:
Ninth-ranked Missouri visited Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 26,
1972, but the highly rated Tigers weren’t the most distinguished guests at the
game that day. Thirteen members of
the 1952 championship team were in attendance as part of a 20th
anniversary ceremony honoring their accomplishment. Before the game, Owens told the Kansan, “I don’t know
whether they will have any effect, but I know that if I were a player, having
those great players there would be just added incentive to play well.”
Bud Stallworth must have agreed. Stallworth
scored 50 points as KU upset the Tigers 93-80.
He was 19 of 38 from the field and 12 of 13 from the line and scored 24
of KU’s first 30 points. Stallworth
was the only Jayhawk in double figures that day and didn’t reach to 50-point
mark until he hit two free throws with seven seconds remaining.
Stallworth’s mother was at the game, the first time she
had seen her son play in Allen Fieldhouse.
Afterward, Stallworth was fairly subdued about his accomplishment:
“Once you get started, it’s hard to cool off.”
Stallworth, who had been selected an Academic All-American in 1971, was a
consensus All-American selection in 1972 and was named KU’s most Valuable
Player. He was a first-round pick
of the Seattle SuperSonics in 1972 and played five seasons in the NBA with
Seattle and New Orleans.
