College Basketball Roundup : Manning Takes Over; Kansas Wins, 67-64

Danny Manning was just another player in the first half Thursday night. In the second half, the game belonged to him.

Manning scored 15 of his 17 points after halftime to lead No. 19-ranked Kansas to a 67-64 victory over No. 8-ranked Temple at Lawrence, Kan., giving the Jayhawks their 40th consecutive victory at home.

“I think I have the ability to at least change situations in the game,” Manning said. “In the second half, we started moving more and we ran the floor a lot better. I ducked in and out of the post and I was able to get more shots.”

Manning made eight of nine shots, including his first three-pointer of the season as Kansas (8-4), which lost 3 of its last 4 games, ended Temple’s 11-game win streak.

Manning scored 8 of 10 Kansas points at the start of the second half as the Jayhawks overcame a 37-32 halftime deficit and pulled into a 42-42 tie with 15:11 left. Manning hit his three-pointer with 30 seconds left to give Kansas a 67-62 lead.

“The magnitude of Danny Manning is just terrific,” Temple Coach John Cheney said. “He is just a pro playing on a college team.”

Howard Evans had 21 points for Temple (13-2).
