Page 8 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, MAR. 26, 1976 NCAA finals begin Lawsuit by cagers Lh La Associated Press So far, the buildup for Saturday’s NCAA basketball tournament semi finals has centered on the four teams plus Indiana’s dynamic All- Americans, Scott May and Kent Be nson. Meanwhile, dependably, con sistent Richard Washington of UCLA, the Most Outstanding Player in last year’s NCAA tourney, has been quietly psyching himself up for a repeat performance. The 6-foot-10 junior forward, also an All-American and the MVP win ner in this year’s West Regionals, is trying to become only the sixth player in NCAA history to win the Outstanding Player Award at least twice in a row. “If I look relaxed on the court, it’s because I am,” said the Bruins’ high scorer with a 20.6 average. “I try to keep it in my mind that the game basically is supposed to be fun.” Washington said that he gets Briefs Star swimmers Svante Rasmusson and Bob Leland represented Texas A&M Thursday in the NCAA na tional swim meet.

It’s really a good feeling.” Despite his size, Washington is an excellent outside shooter and is ex pected to carry the brunt of the fifth-ranked Bruins’ offense against unbeaten, top-rated and favored In diana in the second half of the semi final doubleheader at the Philadel phia Spectrum. In the opening game, it will be fourth-ranked, unde feated Rutgers against No. 9 Michi gan. The winners meet for the title Monday night. If Rutgers, 31-0, and Indiana, 30-0, reach the final, it will be the first time in the 38-year history of the NCAA tournament that two un beaten teams will meet for the title. Although UCLA suffered a humiliating 20-point loss to Indiana in the season’s opening game. Bruins’ Coach Gene Bartow is anx iously looking forward to the re match. “Losing the game was awful,” said Bartow. “But things are never as bad as they seem. I’m looking forward to playing them again, and so is the whole team. I know they’re a super team and Bobby Knight is a super coach, but we’ve got a good team, too.” Knight agreed that it was not fair to judge the teams on the season opener. “Opening games often are not a reliable yardstick for comparison,” he said. “UCLA has improved greatly over the season. I’m sure we've improved too. But I can’t see that first game having any great bear ing on this game.” Since that meeting, UCLA’s start ing lineup has undergone some shuffling. Dave Greenwood, a 6-10 freshman, has replaced 7-2 Ralph Drollinger at center and Ray Townsend has taken over for Jim Spillane at one guard.
