To the editor:

So our Kansas University team sometimes gets too tired to keep up with the foe who may be faster and want to win more than they seem to. Perhaps a well-tutored and executed form of zone defense could have prevented Iowa State from getting some of the easy lay-ups and slam dunks they got via the free throw lines.

KU needs to play more 40-minute games, rather than half OK and the other half not so good. They would get a little more rest in the zone than trying to chase faster players all around half court, etc.

Some of us do not need to view tapes three or four times to see what didn’t go too well! I’ve watched a lot of basketball for the last 80-plus year and think I learned a thing or two.

I sincerely hope our team gets a few things going better so they do well in the NCAAs. We love the boys!
