Wooster, Ohio (12/29/08) - Freshman Michael
Oglesby (Neptune, N.J.) notched a team-high double-double

Kiwanis Classic hosted by The College of Wooster.

KU rallied in the second half and led by as many as eight with
just over eight minutes to go as junior Vinnie Darpino
(Colonia, N.J.) hit a jumper to give Kean a 61-53
advantage. Switzer hit two of his seven three-pointers to
spark a 14-3 Purple Raider run and give Mount Union the lead
for good in the final six minutes of play.
