COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Vaughn’s Shot Lifts No. 6 Kansas Over Indiana

When Indiana Coach Bob Knight visited Jacque Vaughn last year, hoping to persuade the star point guard from Pasadena Muir High to come to Indiana, neither could have foreseen what a cold December night in Lawrence, Kan., would bring.

Vaughn ended up picking Kansas over the Hoosiers, and on Wednesday night he made a three-point shot with less than a second to play in overtime, lifting the sixth-ranked Jayhawks to an 86-83 victory over Knight and 12th-ranked Indiana.

“I gave a head fake,” Vaughn said of the final shot. “I was just trying to draw a foul. (Todd) Leary retreated enough for me to get my legs under me and get up in the air and it went in.”

Vaughn has shown signs of possible stardom during his 12 games with Kansas (11-1). He has become the starter at point guard.

After a sloppy first half in which each team struggled while making 37% of its shots, Damon Bailey came alive for the Hoosiers (5-2) to score 30 of his 36 points.

No. 3 Duke 79, Iowa 76--Cherokee Parks scored 18 points to lead the Blue Devils (6-0) over the Hawkeyes (5-2) at Iowa City, giving Coach Mike Krzyzewski his 400th victory.

No. 5 Kentucky 100, Ohio State 88--Guards Travis Ford and Tony Delk combined for 50 points in leading the Wildcats (6-1) over the Buckeyes (5-3) in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational at Lahaina, Hawaii.

No. 11 Louisville 78, No. 25 Western Kentucky 73--DeJuan Wheat scored 24 points to help the Cardinals (5-1) to an overtime victory over the Hilltoppers (3-2) at Louisville, Ky.

Missouri 108, No. 19 Illinois 107--The Tigers (6-1) outscored the Illini (6-2) in the third overtime at St. Louis after Illinois freshman Kiwane Garris missed two free throws after time had expired in the second overtime.

No. 20 Cincinnati 78, Miami (Ohio) 75--LaZelle Durden and John Jacobs scored 14 points each to help the Bearcats (8-2) hold off the Redskins (3-3) at Cincinnati.

No. 21 Syracuse 81, Miami 52--The Orangemen (7-1, 1-1) made 11 three-point baskets in rolling to a Big East Conference victory over the Hurricanes (6-2, 0-2) at Syracuse, N.Y.
