BasX · Aug 31, 2008

OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada – Behind 25 points, including the game-winning field goal, Kansas freshman Travis Releford led the Jayhawks to an 84-83 win against Canadian power Carleton at Scotiabank Place Saturday evening.

Junior Sherron Collins made his debut in the second game on the trip. The Chicago guard did not play against McGill yet scored 10 points in the nightcap victory. With 1:05 to play, Collins stepped in front of a Carleton pass to steal the ball. Collins then passed to Releford who dunked to make the score 84-80. The lead was KU’s for good as the second half saw no team lead by more than four points and there were five ties and seven lead changes.

Carleton’s Michael Kenny then made one of his four second-half three pointers with 41 seconds remaining to narrow the score to 84-83. Collins then missed a shot in the lane as the shot clock expired giving the Ravens the ball with 1.3 seconds remaining after a mad scramble for possession. Following a Raven timeout, solid defense made Kenny’s desperation three not even draw iron as KU left with the victory.
