LOSSES FROM LAST YEAR ('86 stats):
| PRESEASON OUTLOOK:
In spite of losing starters Greg Dreiling, Ron Kellogg,
Calvin Thompson, and Archie Marshall (who broke his leg and will
be a medical redshirt this year), a group which represented 48
ppg and 18 rpg, the Jayhawks have reloaded and look to be a
contender again. Last year's starters Danny Manning and
Cedric Hunter, together with strong subs Mark Turgeon and Chris
Piper form the nucleus for this season. Joining the returnees
are 6'10 transfer Sean Alvarado, redshirt soph Milt Newton, and
a core of highly rated freshmen, including C/F Mark
Randall, combo guard Kevin Pritchard, slasher Jeff Gueldner and
forward Keith Harris.
The non-conference schedule appears to be tough
overall, with highly rated Arkansas, Pitt, Temple, Louisville,
and St. John's on tap, and the Big 8 appears to again be one of
the toughest conferences in the country.
|
| SEASON
SUMMARY:
KU opened the season ranked 8th nationally, as
Coach Brown began his first season with players recruited
entirely by his staff. After 6 wins and one loss, the
Hawks ran into trouble, losing to Pittsburgh and Ohio State at
the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii, and then were upset by Wichita
State, leaving their record at 7-4. From there, things
improved as they won 11 of their next games, barely losing to OU
in the process. Struggling forward, however, they split
the next ten games, but qualified for the NCAA tourney.
Seeded fifth in the SE Regional, the Hawks won their first
two games but were then clobbered by Georgetown, 57-70 to end
the season. Things didn't get any better, as they
found the team were victims of a robbery when they returned to
their hotel that evening, and then the team was delayed at the
Louislville airport for six hours, due to a scheduling problem
on their charter flight.
HIGHLIGHTS:
KU extended it's home-winning streak to a conference-record
of 48 games.
