Jayhawks are to continue their role as a genuine contender Of the five they are the only team that won on the road and game presents them with an opportunity KU and the Cyclones have split 3-point battles thus far Iowa State won 91-88 in the Big Eight Tournament and Kansas came from behind to nail the Cyclones 74-71 less than two weeks ago in Lawrence Kan The Jayhawks will operate tonight without Fred Bosile-vac the hero of last triumph over Nebraska Elevated to a starting role against Missouri Tuesday Bosilevac suffered a knee injury which was severe enough to keep him from making the trip to Iowa Considering the way Oklahoma has lost home games this season the Sooners have their work cut out tonight against especially if they a to concentrate too much on invasion Monday Ahearn Field House although three of the last four there have been decided in the last minute of play Missouri has won four straight since opening conference play with a road loss to Oklahoma However the Tigers spun their wheels frightfully in their last outing before edging Kansas 64-60 Coach Norm Stewart is hopeful the Tigers can reverse the pattern know we can be a better basketball he said following the escape act against Kansas thing keeping us from being a better ball club is the failure to sustain our Cats Inconsistent K-State is faced with a similar problem Hounded by inconsistency all season the Cats looked great last Saturday in defeating Oklahoma Three days later in Lincoln Neb they kept up the good work and built up a 12-point lead against Nebraska On the threshold of scoring a major victory the Cats then became cautious and blew the game to the Huskers 61-60 The Manhattan meeting brings together the teams that tangled for the Big Eight Tournament championship five weeks ago Missouri won that one 67-58 but there is considerable feeling around K-State that the Wildcats can do better For one thing they played without Bob Zender their 6-7 senior forward who missed the entire tournament because of a sprained ankle Then the ragged play plus aggressiveness in the early minutes sent the Tigers streaking to a 25-10 lead K-State managed to cut the deficit to two on several occasions but the plucky Tigers weathered the rally That victory incredibly was only fifth against the Cats in the Big Eight era Back in 1957 when the conference was the Big Seven K-State started a winning streak that ran through 23 straight games and to 1965 before the Tigers won again That was also the last year a Missouri team has won in By Fritz Kreisler (A Member of The Star's
