Tournament Dropped After Kansas Pulls Out

The four-team Business Men’s Assurance basketball tournament scheduled in November has been canceled for this year after Kansas dropped out of the field.

Alex Matthews, a BMA official, said the sponsor was unable to find an appropriate replacement for the Nov. 28-29 tournament at Kemper Arena, which was seen as a tune-up for the 1988 Final Four in Kansas City. Other teams scheduled to play were San Francisco, Tulsa and Southern Methodist.
