Trailing the jayhawks 46-45 with three minutes to play in the game, Norm Stewart elected to hold the ball for a last shot. MU stood with the ball at midcourt until 15 seconds remain and then set in motion a play resulting in a made 20 footer by Theo Franks that gave the Tigers a 47-46 victory. In the rematch in Lawrence, Stewart would send Captain Don Tomlinson during the pregame warm-ups to meet with ku coach Ted Owens and demand the ku end of the floor with Stewart listening and laughing beneath the bleachers. MU would win again 56-55 for the season sweep.
