i under control. They're a very, very balanced team in every sense of the word." A disparity in fouls was one of Seton Hall's major problems. In the first half, the more physical Pirates were whistled for 14 fouls to two for Arizona. Mark Bryant the Pirates' top scorer and rebounder, sat out the last 10:35 with three fouls. Seton Hall scored eight straight points early in the second half to close to 53-37.

But Elliott hit a three-pointer from 20 feet to end that rally. Kerr and Tom Tolbert each had 13 points to lead Arizona's balanced attack. John Morton led Seton Hall with 16 points, Martin Salley had 12 and Bryant 11. Iowa 104 Nevada Las Vegas 86 Jeff Moe and Ed Horton scored 24 points as 17th-ranked Iowa jumped on top 10-0 and rode its full-court press to victory over 12th-ranked Nevada Las Vegas. Roy Marble added 22 points for the Hawkeyes, who broke open the game in the last 10 minutes of the first half in knocking out the last of the 1987 Final Four teams.

The Hawkeyes (24-9) led all the way In scoring 100 or more points for the 14th time this season. Iowa was on top 29-17 midway through the first half. The Rebels (28-6) then went on an 11-1 spurt to make it 30-28, but that was the last time UNLV got close. Iowa scored 11 of the next 14 points to make it 41-31, and after two free throws by UNLV's Clint Rossom, the Hawkeyes got another eight in a row to make it 49-33. It was 51-39 at halftime, and the Rebels, who committed 23 turnovers, were able to get no closer than 11 points thereafter.

"I think their press just took us out of the game," UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian said. "It had a demoralizing effect on us. We got whipped in every way imaginable." Gerald Paddio, a 6-foot-7 senior forward who made eight 3-pointers, led the Rebels with a career-high 34 points. Jarvis Basnight, Vegas' second-leading scorer at 14.4, was held to two points and fouled out with 13:39 remaining. we-- STAFF PHOTO BY BU LUSTER UK's Ed Davender went to the floor to recover a loose ball as Keith Gatlin, Jeft, and Brian Williams of Maryland moved in.

Bennett steps into hero's role Associated Press LOS ANGELES Anthony Cook scored 20 points and Sean Elliott had 19 as second-ranked Arizona outscored Seton Hall 22-4 early in the first half and rolled to an 84-55 victory yesterday. It took Arizona (33-2), the top seed In the West Regional, about WEST REGIONAL five minutes to assert its dominance after Seton Hall (22-13) had jumped to an 8-3 lead. Arizona started out cold and didn't score from the field until almost five minutes had elapsed. But that ended when Steve Kerr hit an 18-foot jumper, and Arizona was on its way to the West Regional semifinals in Seattle next weekend. Arizona will Iowa, which ran past Nevada Las Vegas 104-86 in the second game.

Kerr's basket began the tear that included 13 straight points by Arizona. The run started with eight points in 1:12, including consecutive three-point plays by Cook and Elliott, 6-foot-9 forwards. By halftime, the Wildcats led 45-25. "I was really pleased with our defense and tremendously pleased with our board work," Arizona coach Lute Olson said. "Defensively, we just pretty much shut everything out that they wanted to do." "That's the best anyone has played against us this year and the poorest anyone has made us look," said Seton Hall coach P.J.

Carle-simo. "Not only are they well-coached, they play intelligently. They pass well, they play very much round triumph over Iowa State, scored just eight points. Duane Fer-rell, the team's second-leading scorer, had nine points as the Yellow Jackets made just 33 percent of their field-goal attempts for the day. Trailing by as many as 11 points in the first half, Georgia Tech pulled within 57-55 in the last minute when Dennis Scott made his third three-point basket of the second half, but Richmond guard Benjy Taylor made two free throws with 28 seconds left to close the scoring.

Temple 74 Georgetown 53 Top-ranked Temple forced Georgetown into its worst shooting performance of the season in yesterday's first game in Hartford. The Hoyas trailed 30-26 at half-time but hit only three of their first 15 second-half shots while Temple was building a 45-32 lead with 11:15 to play. Mark Macon had six points and Mike Vreeswyk five in the run. "When you're playing a great team like this," Georgetown coach John Thompson said, "you can't afford to make mistakes." The Hoyas did, primarily in trying to locate the basket. The Big East team made just 30.2 percent of its shots on 19-of-63 shooting.

Temple's 250-pound center Ramon Rivas, who had 13 points and 12 rebounds, had a lot to do with that "Ramon did a good job on the inside," Vreeswyk said. "He didn't allow them many second chances." "They have thunder and lightning on that team," Thompson said. "The big kid (Rivas) is tough inside, and Macon can run around and do things on the outside. I think he's one of the best players in America." Temple (31-1) has won 17 straight games. The Owls, whose lead ranged from 10 to 22 points during the last 11 minutes, were led by Macon and Vreeswyk with 21 points each.

The Owls, champions of the Atlantic 10 Conference had lost in the second round in each of the last four seasons, including in 1985 to Georgetown. "When you're fortunate enough to get into the final 64, anything can happen," Temple coach John Chaney said. "We were successful before we got here. Now we need to be lucky." Georgetown, which has made more than 50 percent of its shots in just two of its last 15 games, was paced by Mark Tillmon, Charles Smith and Jaren Jackson with 13 points each. Georgetown ended its season at 20-10.

Mumphrey's blast lifts Cubs MESA, Ariz. (AP) Jerry Mumphrey's pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 exhibition baseball win over the Seattle Mariners yesterday. Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. Call it a battle of tempo, if you want but call it another Richmond victory. "That's the war we played, and that's the war we won," coach Dick Tarrant said after his unheralded Spiders stopped Georgia Tech's running game yesterday for a 59-55 EAST REGIONAL East Regional second-round basketball victory in the NCAA Tournament Richmond, which beat defending national champion Indiana in the opening round Friday, advances to a showdown with Temple in the East semifinals Thursday in East Rutherford, N.J.

Unable to run or get the ball to their big men over Richmond's zone defense, Georgia Tech tied its season low of 55 points. The Yellow Jackets, who finished the season with a 22-10 record, had averaged 82.6 points per game. "We were trying to run when we had the opportunity," Georgia Tech guard Brian Oliver said. "But they got some second shots, and we weren't able to get the ball out as quickly and run with it" Georgia Tech was held to a season-low 18 points in the first half, making just 5 of 23 shots from the field for 21.7 percent. It was the ninth straight victory for Richmond, the regular-season and tournament champion from the Colonial Athletic Association.

The Spiders' record is 26-6. Forward Peter Woolfolk scored a game-high 27 points, mostly inside, to pace the Spiders' offense. "He has so many moves," Georgia Tech center Tom Hammonds said. "When he has you up in the air, he leans into you and draws a foul. His main thing is he just got tremendous position on us.

He took us apart" Center Steve Kratzer grabbed 12 rebounds and was the main reason Richmond was able to stifle Hammonds, Georgia Tech's leading scorer this season, for most of the game.

"In the second half, I came out and tried to get my hands on the ball a couple of times before I shot it" That done, Chapman addressed the goal and stroked a 12-footer the first time he shot. The next shot he launched was a three-pointer from the left flank.

It also found the net. Make a note that the kid from Owensboro also delivered a four-point play. Ballgame. That's another playground term, folks, one usually uttered when the on-court issue is decided. This one lingered longer than UK coach Eddie Sutton hoped it would, but in the end, there was Winston Bennett making a baseline steal, Ed Davender slipping inside for a spectacular tip and Chapman delivering 20 second-half points as UK dispatched Maryland 90-81.

In the second half, give Chapman 8 of 12 from the field, including two three-pointers. His final basket a 10-footer on the baseline, followed a Bennett power move that gave UK a 78-76 lead, one that lasted the rest of the day. Write it down: Rex Chapman even made his only second-half free throw and found reason to smile. When it ended, Chapman stood at center court, waving a towel overhead. Searching the Riverfront Coliseum crowd for loving faces, he found the joyous eyes of his parents, Wayne and Laura Chapman.

The trio understood what victory meant. By winning, the Wildcats assured a Kentucky-fried Southeast Regional In Birmingham, this week. On Thursday evening, when No. 1 seed Oklahoma will meet Louisville, UK will meet Villanova. The winners collide Saturday, with a trip to the Final Four at stake.

"That looks like a heckuva regional to me," Sutton said. Word emerged from the Kentucky locker room that Sutton also delivered a heckuva halftime speech. He talked about defense, he talked about effort and he talked about the stakes involved. wasn't the loudest he's been all season," LeRon Ellis said. "I've heard him louder.

But it's the loudest he's been in a while." "Basically, he just challenged us," Lock said. "He told us we were a better team than Maryland, but that we only had 20 minutes left to prove it." But to Chapman, Sutton said little. That was a situation best handled by Davender. A barbed-wire psyche has carried Davender through his four years at Kentucky. Now the kid from Brooklyn who lifted his team with 11 first-half points in Chapman's quiet time told his pal there was no reason to say another word about the first 20 minutes.

"I came in there and he was sitting down with his head hanging," Davender said. "He said, 'I've never missed that many free throws "I told him he had a fresh 20 minutes, and to forget about that and show everybody how he can play." Rex Chapman forgot. And then Rex Chapman showed. And in the end, he talked like a player who will not carry that first half around with him very long. "Disappointed?" Chapman said.

"I'm not disappointed at all. I'm just happy to win and go to Birmingham." And there is no reason to apologize for that Injury forces Rosi to delay title defense against Curry SAN REMO, Italy (AP) Gian-franco Rosi fell and suffered a broken left collarbone and will be unable to defend his World Boxing Council super-welterweight title against American challenger Donald Curry. The Italian news agency ANSA yesterday said the scheduled April 15 title fight had been postponed and that organizers said it possibly will be rescheduled in July. Rosi's trainer, Giovanni Boccio-lini, told the agency that Rosi was injured Friday night when he fell while playing soccer with some friends. He said the soccer game was a training excercise for Rosi.
