The Mustangs were a 97-84 victim of the Russians Tuesday evening. By “we” Allen meant the U.S. team which must battle the Soviet Union on the Russian’s home court in next year’s Olympics. The SMU game was the third in a tour of the U.S. by the Soviets. The Russians had previously defeated the University of San Francisco and Texas-El Paso. Although there is size, strength and shooting ability throughout the Russian squad, the players that carry the team are 7-4 center Vladimir Tkachenko and 34-year-old Olympic veteran guard Sergei Belov. “I think a player like (Duke cen ter) Mike Gminski can handle the Russian’s big man,” said Allen. “Any average 6-9 or 6-10 center who is a physical player can hold his own with the guy. “Sure, he’s a good player. He’s going to get his points. But we have players over here who can play with him. Rudy Woods (Texas A&M’s 6- 11 center) is another player who would do a good job. “The Russians are a good team. Don’t get me wrong. If they have one obvious weakness it would be that they are not a great ball handling team. They are quick, but they aren’t fast.
