"We wore them out and we attacked the basket." Janssen, who led the Plainsmen with 19 points, said Schmutte told them to get the offense moving in the second half. "He said we were throwing the ball around the outside and weren't going for the seams," said the 6-8 junior. "In the second half, when we started to do that, our shots started to fall again.

"When you're playing, it's tough to see those things," he said. "But we knew even at halftime that we were going to win. We were a lot more confident this year." Janssen was referring to Wesleyan's quarterfinal loss last year to eventual champion Wisconsin "We were loose maybe too loose in the first half. But we pushed the ball up in the second half and made things happen," Janssen said. "And once we got the lead, we were working harder on deferise." Schmutte said defense probably had as much to do with the come-back as NWU's hot shooting.

"You could see when these kids started coming back, they were gritting their teeth and playing harder on defense," he said. "This is enough of a veteran crew that they don't get down on themselves. They know they can pull themselves back into the game. Sound on defense "We are fundamentally sound on defense and play whatever we have to in order to win," Schmutte said. "The character of a club is so vitally important, especially in games like this," Schmutte said.

"We've had a few games this year where we had our backs against the wall and came back in the second half and really socked it to them." "We started in a press and that was a gamble. It took a lot out of us playing that in the first half," said Bryant. "We were slow getting back in the second half. I think a lot of their points came before we had a chance to really set up in our defense. "Their physical strength and size took its toll and we couldn't hold them," he said.

"They were busting through our picks and that probably hurt us more than them." Lavin and Cowens combined for nine points during a three-minute spurt midway through the first half, boosting the Colonels to a 17-8 lead. Steen drove for a basket but Lavin and DeVary hit jumpers to give the Colonels their biggest lead of the first half at 21-10. The Plainsmen closed the gap to 21-17 when Steen hit a basket and Janssen added a pair of turn-around jumpers and a free throw. Cowens added a pair of free throws with no time left in the first half to give Centre College a 33-25 halftime lead. DeVary led the Colonels, who closed the season 19-8, with 19 points, Lavin had 17 and Cowens 14.

Georgetown never trailed, leading 47- 40 at halftime, and by as much as 14 points in the second half when the Hoyas built their lead to 78-64 on Martin's three-point play with 8:03 remaining. The closest St.

John's could get after that was 84-76 on Chris Mullin's field goal and two free throws with 2:40 left. Ralph Dalton, Ewing's 6-foot-11 backup center, played effectively in the All-America's absence, scoring nine points and grabbing eight rebounds. The 7-foot Ewing had 11 points while Williams tossed in 14. Mullin scored 25 points to pace the Redmen, but was virtually silent after intermission when he scored only six of his points. Bill Wennington added 16, for Big the Redmen.

In the first half, the Hoyas took a 22- 13 lead, but Mullin was able to cash in at the free throw line after Georgetown's Perry McDonald was called for an intentional foul. Thompson was slapped with his first technical. Mullin made three of four free throws and before play resumed, Thompson was hit with another technical. Mullin sank two more free throws and Wennington drove in for a layup to bring the Redmen within 22-20. The score was tied at 26 and 28, but after that the Hoyas led the rest of the way.

(UPI) Memorial services are planned Monday for Alonzo "Lon" Stiner, whose 14-year career as head football coach at Oregon State University encompassed some of the school's biggest football accomplishments. Stiner, who died Friday at the age of 81, had been in ill health for a year and confined to a life care center at Richland, where he moved eight years ago to be near his daughter, Betty Ingram. Stiner's tenure at OSU was longer than any other Beaver head coach. He held the post from 1933 to 1948 and compiled a 74-49-17 record. Some of his victories became Oregon State legends.

His 1941 team earned the Rose Bowl berth for New Year's Day, 1942, but Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor changed the Pasadena plan. It was a time of grave concern on a blacked-out West coast and large gatherings of people were discouraged. As a East title Ga.

Tech's Bruce Dalrymple, however, knocked in a 15-foot jumper to give the Yellow Jackets the lead for good 24 seconds later. Tech's Scott Petway, replacing starter Duane Ferrell, scored only six points but Dalrymple added 16, John Salley 15 and Yvon Joseph 12. Bilas led Duke with 21 points and Dawkins added 19 for the Blue Devils. Mem.

St. 90, Fla. St. 86 At Louisville, Baskerville Holmes pumped in 24 points as Memphis State needed an overtime period to put down a determined Florida State. Memphis State, 26-3, scored the first five points of the extra period on a 3-point play by center William Bedford and a short jumper by guard Andre Turner to take an 81-76 lead.

Florida State, 14-16, could come no closer than three points the rest of the extra period. Memphis State had to go the extra period without their star Keith Lee, who fouled out with 1:21 left in regulation. Lee finished with 19 points. Holmes' rebound shot tied the score at 76 with one second left in regulation.

Wichita State still had an 82-68 lead with 2:50 left when the Hurricane mounted a final charge. Tulsa's Steve Harris, who bombed 37 points 24 in the second half -picked up a loose ball in the midst of a scramble on a Wichita State inbounds play in the closing seconds, but his off-balance shot bounced off the rim and bounded out of bounds as the buzzer sounded.

"This game was a great credit to Iowa State and to Oklahoma. If I had anything to say about it, Iowa State would be in the NCAA. "I was pleased with the way our team came back," Tubbs said.

"It was a credit to our guys to respond to the challenge of playing without Wayman. McCalister and Bowie took over and made some great plays." Tisdale, the three-time Big Eight player of the year, scored 14 points in the first half to help the Sooners to a 34- 33 lead, but went to the bench with his fourth foul shortly after the break. Iowa State's David Moss made a- quick jumper to bring the Cyclones within one point at 36-35, but Bowie then took over, personally outscoring Iowa State 84 over the next three minutes to move the Sooners into a 51-45 lead. McCalister then scored six points over the next 3 minutes to increase the lead to 58-51. Even though Jeff Grayer and Jeff Hornacek both fouled out down the stretch, the Cyclones stayed within four, 63-59, with five minutes remaining.
