Lafayette Pulls NIT Surprise With 72-71 Win By PAUL REINHARD Morning Call Sports Writer NEW YORK Jay Mottola is )m 82.9 per cent free throw hooter. The best he could do Vith three seconds left on the lock Friday night was 50 per cent but that was good enough. A one -for-two performance by the Lafayette co-captain was all ihe Leopards needed to break a 71-71 tie and score a thrilling 72-2l upset victory over Virginia in the opening game of the 35th annual National Invitational Tournament in Madison Square Gar-Hen. In the second game, overpowered Fordham 94-ft. The win, the 21st in 26 games lor Coach Tom Davis's club, was a well-deserved one.

The Leopards had been perhaps the most lightly-regarded team in the best Lafayette could have hoped for would have been a five-minute overtime. But the Cavaliers got fouled up on the inbounds pass, and Mottola, as heady a player as you'd want on the court in such a pressure situation, slithered through and grabbed the loose ball. He went directly to the basket and was fouled by Scott McCandlish. After one delay while Virginia Coach Bill Gibson replaced the fouled-out McCandlish, and another when the Cavaliers called their final timeout, Mottola stepped to the line and promptly missed the first of his two attempts. He appeared shaken, but his second try swished through as the crowd, which had swang to the underdog, went wild.

But it wasn't over yet. Jim Hobgood, a Virginia lefthander, let fly with a desperation 60-foot shot at the buzzer. The ball rimmed the basket and fell out as Hobgood sank to his knees and Lafayette fans swarmed the court to congratulate a team which had just scored its first NIT triumph in three tries. There were those who figured Virginia might take Lafayette for granted, but the Leopards never gave the Cavaliers a chance. Virginia, which closes out its season with a 21-7 record, had a six-point lead at the half, but it was a shaky one built with the help of a Lafayette offense which turned the ball over 18 times in the first 20 minutes.

Lafayette came back early in the second half to get a three-point lead, then went stale again as Virginia moved back to a five-point advantage at 65-60. But a five-point run by the Leopards tied it again, and Lafayette got a 69-68 lead with 5:26 to play. Only six points were scored in the stretch. It was Walt Kocubinski who set the stage for the dramatic finish. Virginia had a 71-69 advantage when McCandlish sank a free throw with 24 seconds left.

The Cavaliers planned to give a foul to get possession of the ball again, but Mottola got the ball to Kocubinski, and the 6-5 junior drove to the basket for a layup that tied it with 14 seconds to play. Lafayette got outstanding performances from a number of players, but the thing that had to impress Davis as much as anything was his team's re bounding. The Leopards, who matched up almost perfectly against the Cavaliers, had a 37-30 advantage in that department, with 6-10 Earl Brown hauling down 15 and Kocubinski chipping in with 11. Bornw, perhaps the most improved player on the club since the start of the season, had an outstanding game overall. He was as strong on the offensive board as he was defensively, and he also scored 11 points.

He got only two goals in the second half, but both were big ones the first gave the Leopards a 57-54 edge and the second drew them to within a point at 68-67. Tracy Tripucka turned in a strong offensive performance, far better than one he had earlier in the year in the Garden. The 6-5 senior hit 11 of 20 shots from the field and' wound up with 25 points. He got two goals in an eight-point run that gave the Leopards the lead early in the second half, and he scored both field goals in the five-point spurt which tied it at 65 later. Kocubinski had one problem from the field but still managed to wind up with 16 points eight in each half.

Mottola had just seven points, but he handed out six assists. Kocubinski had five assists. Lafayette did an outstanding job on Virginia AU-American Barry Parkhill. Parkhill scored 14 points for the night, with only three coming in the second half. Hobgood followed up with 12 for the Cavaliers, and three other players had 10.

The first half was one of feast or famine for Lafayette. The Leopards trailed 18-12 at one point, then went on a 16-2 spurt which gave them a 27-21 lead. With 4:49 left in the halfTrip-ucka's goal kept Lafayette in front 41-36, but the Leopards turned over the ball seven times in the final minutes as Virginia went on a 13-2 tear for its half-time margin.
