The Aggies, however, won the meet by one point. United Press International NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana State forward Durand Macklin left the game with a deep cut on his finger in the second half, but the possibility of slipping an NCAA championship ring immediately killed the pain. Macklin, the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, went to the locker room with a dislocated and bleeding finger af ter playing only 30 minutes against Wichita State in the NCAA Midwest Regional finals, but that was enough. Macklin, 6-7, fired in 21 points and smothered the Shockers under the boards, pacing the Ti gers to a 96-85 victory. At a post-game news confer ence, Macklin said his injury would have no effect on his per formance in the NCAA semifinal matchup against Indiana Saturday in Philadelphia. “I can’t let anything stop me from contributing to our team,” the senior forward said. “It might hinder me in dribbling but I’ll just have to get used to it.” Macklin and teammate Greg Cook spurred LSU in a first half 19-2 burst, contributing from both ends of the court with clutch field goals and rebounds. Macklin finished the first half with 17 points and nine rebounds while Cook finished with 19 points and seven rebounds. Even Cook, a 6-9 center known for his aggressive rebounding, had a difficult time handling the Wheatshocker board play. “I played physical so when I say it was rough — it was rough,” he said. Wichita State coach Gene Smithson couldn’t agree more with Cook’s interpretation. “They really killed us on the boards in the first half. We just didn’t pull them down. “They have a tremendous bas ketball team. They boarded well. They had great quickness,” he said. “They are just an outstanding basketball team.” Cook and Macklin swarmed over the Shockers’ every move, knocking and blocking shots repe atedly. Shocker guard Randy Smith- son, who finished the game with 18 points, hailed the superior Ti ger defense. “I was looking to shoot a lot, but I just didn’t get many opportuni ties,” the 6-3 senior said. “You’ve gotta give credit to their defense and board play. We just didn’t hit the boards like they did.” LSU is now 31-3 and is fourth in the nation. WSU, the Missouri Valley champions, finished at 26- 7. LSU led the SEC in defense, holding their opponents to just 67.6 points per game. LSU advanced to the finals after clobbering Arkansas 72-56 and Lamar 100-78.

But the Ags rebounded Tues day with a 5-4 win over Arizona University, to keep an even, .500 mark for the spring break. Judson was the bright spot for the Ags in both home matches as he went undefeated. He was im pressive in both sets, showing a tenacity that surprised Kent. “Tom is playing the best ever,” Kent said. “I just can’t say enough about him and the way he’s been playing.” Judson beat Dellaucdova of Wichita State and then defeated Bill Moss of Arizona 3-6, 7-6, 7-5. The matches raise the national ly ranked Aggies record to 15-5 for the spring season. The Ags are ranked 20 nationally in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association poll.
