THE BATTALION
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1981
ACC team in championship
TANK MCNAMARA
by Jeff Millar & Bill Hr;
United Press International
ATLANTA — Virginia Coach Terry Holland
says the best thing about having his Cavaliers
play North Carolina next Saturday is that no
matter how it turns out there will be an Atlan
tic Coast Conference Team in the NCAA
finals.
Virginia and North Carolina advanced this
past Saturday to next Saturday’s national semi
finals at Philadelphia, the third-ranked Cava
liers (28-3) beating Brigham Young 74-60 in the
NCAA East and the sixth-ranked Tar Heels
(25-5) beating Kansas State 82-68 in the NCAA
West.
“Of course, what I would have preferred,”
said Holland, “would be to play North Carolina
in the finals because then the ACC would have
been assured of winning the national cham
pionship. ”
Virginia beat North Carolina twice during
the regular season, 63-57 at home and 80-79 at
Chapel Hill, N.C.
“It’s a great rivalry, ” said Holland. “After we
beat them in the second game, I got a lot of
letters from Carolina fans telling me they
would see us again up the road. ”
Virginia forward Jeff Lamp, named the Most
Valuable Player in the NCAA East Tourna
ment after scoring 18 points in each game, said
the Cavaliers know what they need to do to get
ready for North Carolina.
“They are certainly no strangers to us,” he
said.
But Holland said he wasn’t too sure his
team, the ACC regular-season champion,
would be going to Philadelphia after Maryland
beat Virginia by 23 points in the ACC tourna
ment, which North Carolina won.
“Frankly, I was very concerned the Mary
land game might ruin us,” said Holland. “But
we’ve got class players. They made a great
comeback. They’ve sacrificed to get this far but
the next two games are what really count. ”
Virginia made it to the Final Four by coming
from behind to edge Villanova 54-50, sweep
ing past 15th-ranked Tennessee 62-48, and
then overcoming a seven-point first half defi
cit to knock off 17th-ranked Brigham Young.
“The deserving team is going to the Final
Four,” said Brigham Young Coach Frank
Arnold. “Ralph Sampson is a great player and
Virginia has much more with Jeff Lamp and
Lee Raker.”
Arnold had warned the Cougars they had to
stop Sampson if they wanted to beat the Cava
liers.
For the first half, the Cougars did a pretty
good job of holding Virginia’s 7-foot-4 sopho
more in check, leading 31-28 at halftime. But
the towering Sampson turned back to his All-
American self in the second half , winding up
with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocked
shots — all game-high figures.
“When Sampson got going in the second
half, Virginia got going,” said Arnold. “Samp
son’s presence on the court intimidates you.”
Lamp kept the Cavaliers within distance in
the first half by scoring 14 points and Sampson
took over after intermission, putting the Cava
liers ahead for the first time since early in the
game with a dunk that made the score 36-35
with 15:50 left.
Brigham Young All-American Danny Ainge
was charged with a technical foul for protest
ing Sampson’s dunk, claiming he hung on the
rim. That point plus two more quick baskets
sent Virginia from a point behind to six ahead
in about one minute and completely changed
the momentum in the game.
“We all played a better second half,” said
Sampson. “I don’t know if that was one of my
better halfs in a while or not. We were all a bit
tense in the first half and then loosened up. ”
Sampson, Lamp, Raker and Ainge were
named to the NCAA East Tournament All-Star
team along with Notre Dame’s Orlando Wool-
ridge.

“Although we were three down at halftime,
I thought we were in good shape,” said Hol
land. “We deserve to go to Philadelphia. I
was no fluke.”

Brigham Young, which finished 25-7, gun
ned haplessly from the outside after Sampson
took command. Ainge, who won Thursday’s
1-point victory over Notre Dame with last-
second heroics, did not score a second half field
goal Saturday. And although he wound up as
high scorer for the losers, he had only 13
points.
“I told our kids in the dressing room after
the game to stand tall and stand proud,” said
Arnold. “I told them the better team won
today. ”
Port Arthur Lincoln wins 5-A title
United Press International
AUSTIN — Center Leonard
Allen, the game’s leading scorer
with 26 points, dropped in 10 in
the last 55 seconds Saturday night
to give Port Arthur Lincoln a
come-from-behind 92-84 win over
San Antonio Marshall to claim the
Class 5-A title in the 61st annual
boys’ state basketball tournament.
Allen’s heroics enabled the
Bumblebees to come from behind
after Marshall had taken an 84-79
lead with 1:27 left. Mike Jaco
scored on a jumper and Allen, a
6-8 senior, put up a tip-in with 55
seconds left to move his team to
within one. Allen then gave Lin
coln the lead for good with another
stuff shot with 35 seconds left, 85-
84. He then reeled off six straight
free throws to clinch the vie.
Reggie Simmons dropped a jum
per with 6:04 remaining to tie the
game at 68. The two teams traded
baskets, until Vince Mery scored
two free throws and Simmons
scored two straight baskets to give
the Rams what appeared to be a
safe lead, 84-79, with 1:27 to go.
Baron Prevost chipped in 14
points and Jaco 13 for Port Arthur
Lincoln, which ended its season at
36-3.
Verne Vittatoe scored 26 points
and his twin Vince added 18 to
lead San Antonio Marshall, which
closed at 31-8.
United Press Internationa]
HOUSTON — Mike Minturn
hit a two-run single with two outs
in the bottom of the seventh Sun
day to give the University of Hous
ton a 6-5 win over cross-town rival
Rice and a split of their Southwest
Conference double-header.
The game was called after
seven innings because of dark
ness. Rice won the first game, 13-
4.
Minturn led the Cougars in bat
ting all afternoon, hitting four for
eight with four RBI.
The Owls coasted to an easy
win in the first game and rattled six
UH pitchers for 13 hits. Freshman
centerfielder Mark Michalek
drove in five runs for Rice in the
first game.
UH now is 14-12 on the year,
3-3 in the SWC. Rice is 16-7 and
3-3 in league play.
