Southern Illinois
Bothers Rutgers
By DICK COUCH
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK 6P) — “We’re still
alive, but each game gets tough
er,” Rutgers’ Bill Foster said
Wednesday as the surprising
Scarlet Knights prepared to take
on Southern Illinois’ little giants
in the semifinals of the National
Invitation Basketball Tourna
ment.
The Scarlet, upset winners over
Utah State and New Mexico in
their first two NIT starts, meet
the Salukis in the second game of
Thursday night’s semi-final dou
bleheader at Madison Square Gar-
dent after high-scoring Marshall
tangles with Marquette.
“I don’t even want to think
about Southern Illinois,” said
Foster, who registered his 100th
coaching victory as Rutgers stun
ned the towering Lobos 65-60 in
Tuesday night’s quarter-finals.
“I’ll get a good night’s sleep
first.”
The Salukis, who ruled the col
lege division ranks before accept
ing a bid to their first major col
lege post-season tourney, have
reeled off 2 straight victories
and take a 22-2 record into the
Rutgers clash. They disposed of
St. Peter’s, N.J., 3-58 and Duke
72-63 on the way to the semis.
“I’ve seen them twice,” said
Foster, who came to Rutgers four
years ago after compiling a 45-11
coaching record in three seasons
at Bloomsburg, Pa., State. “I
scouted Duke for three quarters
Monday night before I realized
I’d better start scouting Southern
Illinois. Southern Illinois is so
good, so fast. They beat Duke —
what more can I say ? ”
Bob Lloyd, the slender senior
who has poured in 65 points for
the Scarlet in the tournament and
leads the nation in free-throw
percentage, will be seeing the Sa
lukis for the first time when he
lines up against them Thursday
night.
“I never see a team I have to
play,” he said. “I don’t like to.
From what I’ve heard, I should
be glad I didn’t see Southern
Illinois.”
While Lloyd and his backcourt
partner, Jim Valvano, pose the
major threats for SIU, the Salu
kis will count on team balance
and speed, ball control and a
tough defense taught by Coach
Jack Hartman, a protege of Okla
homa State’s legendary Hank Iba.
The Salukis have beaten sev
en major college opponents, in
cluding second-ranked Louisville
and ’66 NCAA champion Texas
Western. But they won’t be tak
ing Rutgers lightly. “That Lloyd
is a ball club all by himself,”
Hartman said.
