Mark Mathews, a member of Kansas University’s 1970-71 NCAA Final Four team, died after a heart attack Monday in the Chicago area. He was 55.

Mathews served as student-manager on the 1968-69 KU team, then Ted Owens added Mathews, a 6-foot-2 Shawnee Mission North product, to the varsity roster the following season.

Mathews played in 21 games with the ’71 Final Four team, averaging 0.9 points and 0.6 rebounds. Mathews’ funeral will be Saturday in Overland Park.
