It’ s no longer second rati
Five years ago it ranked right up
there with dorm hall hockey, water
balloon fights and PE. But because
of the Arkansas Razorbacks, the
Houston Cougars and the Texas
Longhorns, college basketball has
found a home in the Southwest Con
ference.
‘Tm really happy to see this come
about,” coach Eddie Sutton said
after his team’s victory over Fuller
ton State. “It’s good to see the fans
care about something other than
football.
“For a long time the conference
has been considered to be some
body’s weak sister when it came to
basketball. But I think that day has
come and gone.”
The Razorbacks and the Long
horns have the chance to prove that
fact in the next seven days. Tonight
Texas plays North Carolina State for
the NIT championship. Saturday
Arkansas plays Kentucky for the
right to challenge the winner of the
Duke-Notre Dame game for the
NCAA championship next Monday
night.
Each team has an excellent
chance to bring home the coveted
crowns.
“I think we have a good chance of
winning the NCAA championship,”
Sutton said. “The game this
weekend against Kentucky will
probably be the toughest one of our
season. But we no longer represent
just Arkansas; we represent the con
ference as well. And for that reason,
I think our guys will give Kentucky
all they want.”
Texas coach Abe Lemmons had
similar sentiments.
“When we stepped on that court
at Madison Square Garden, the con
ference’s reputation was on the
line,” Lemmons said. “Our guys
wanted to prove to all those New
York writers that we can play some
thing other than football in Texas.”
And the ‘Horns did more than
prove that fact. Before 18,000 parti
san fans, Texas defeated Rutgers
96-76. But Lemmons thinks to-
night’s finale will be a little tougher.
“North Carolina State has a great
basketball reputation,” Lemmons
said. “Our guys will have to play the
best game they can to defeat the
Wolfpack. But if we do beat them,
then all the critics will have to get
off the Southwest Conference’s
back.”
Arkansas also faces a team with a
great basketball tradition. The Ken
tucky Wildcats are the No. 1 team in
the nation and should have won the
national championship last year.
Coach Joe Hall’s group is not ope to
finish second fiddle twice.
“We know Kentucky wants the
national championship very badly,”
Sutton said. “But so do we. After
losing to Wake Forest in the open
ing round last year, our guys set a
goal to prove that the Razorbacks
can play with anybody in the nation.
That will be on our minds this
Saturday afternoon.”
Looking at it realistically, it ap
pears that Texas will win the NIT.
But Arkansas winning the NCAA is
another matter.
Kentucky has more depthd
stronger team inside. The Jj
backs will have to counter|i :Vol.
with their quickness and hoji ^
stay out of foul trouble. If the
happen to defeat the Wildcats
they’ll probably face Notre Dir
The Irish are playin; ’
anyone else in the country i
time. They are a physical hash
team, capable of posting any fa ^Jl
the nation clown underneath
basket
Notre Dame beat Houston,;
opening round of the Midwest
gionals like they were playing!;
in the Cotton Bowl. And they®
the same to the Razorbacks ft
doesn’t stop the inside game.
But all that is only academit
Razorbacks, whether they
lose this weekend, have alresil
cused the nation’s spotlight
Southwest Conference basket
has taken many years for the
invented in America to find feli 1
in the southwest.
And for Sutton and Lem
there’s no place like home.
