You’ve just got to be pleased,” M coach Shelbv Metcalf said. “We’ve had some bad games in here over the years, but we played a real good game tonight under pretty tough conditions. “They have real good crowds in here and it was pretty hot. This is a big one for us, mainly because Arkansas won.” “Their defense was excellent,” SMU coach Sonny Allen said. Tt was more their good play than our poor play. We re not going to throw in the towel now. We’ve just got to con tinue to play every game as hard as we can. Arkansas trailed Baylor by a 24-23 count in Fayetteville at halftime but overwhelmed the Bears in the second period. “I didn’t think they (Baylor) were ever going to miss,” Arkansas coach Eddie Sutton said. Tm glad there was a second half in this game. The crowd played the part of the sixth man during the second half.” The Bears opened the second half with a streak of 10 successful shots in a row during the first 114 minutes, but the WORSHIP ERVICES AT :15 A.M.

The Hogs took a 46-45 lead they never relinquished and brought the score to 60-48 in the next three mi nutes. The game was revenge of a sort, since the Bears threw a wrench into Arkansas’ roll toward the SWC championship last year by taking a 70-67 victory with a last-minute flur ry, a defeat Sutton called his most painful on Arkansas soil. Tech sealed its overtime win over the Owls in the last 18 seconds, when sophomore forward David Little hit four free throws. Rice forced the ex tra play on Bobby Tudor’s pair of free throws with one second remaining in regulation* time. The Raiders had gone up 49-47 with three seconds left on a four-foot bank shot by sophomore forward Jeff Taylor, and a lengthy discussion ab out the amount of time left ensued among officials and coaches before the clock was set at two seconds. It took the Owls less time than that to get the ball within bounds for Tudor’s attempt at a last-minute shot, during which he was fouled and made the tying free throws. ’81 Cage tourney stays in SA United Press International DALLAS — Southwest Con ference officials announced Tuesday they had decided to return the league’s 1981 basketball tournament to San Antonio where it will be played for the first time next month.
