Page 10 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, MARCH 24. 1981 Sports j Tulsa, Syracuse vie for NIT United Press International NEW YORK — Tulsa — happy to be playing postseason basket ball anywhere and Syracuse, which isn’t sure it wants to be there — will be competing Wednesday night for the cham pionship of the 44th National In vitation Tournament. All-Missouri Valley Confer- ’PLOUPOT'S'P BOOKSTORE At Northgate Across from the Post Office ence guard Paul Pressey scored 11 of his team-high 20 points in the final eight minutes Monday night to lead unheralded Tulsa to an 89- 87 semifinal victory over West Virginia and Dan Schayes scored three points in the final 61 seconds of the Madison Square Garden nightcap to propel Syracuse past Purdue 70-63 and set up an “odd couple” matchup for the title. Tulsa coach Nolan Richardson, in his first year with the Golden Hurricane after leading Western Texas Junior College to a 37-0 re cord and a No. 1 ranking, saw Monday night’s victory as a re ward for services rendered over the years. “As for myself, I was lucky enough to land this job at Tulsa and this is the whole ball of wax to me,” said Richardson. ’T’ve paid my dues and just want to be a good coach and a good recruiter.” Tulsa, 25-7, hadn’t been over .500 since the 1974-75 season and were picked by many to end its season weeks ago. But the Golden Hurricane’s swarming defense allowed them to defeat three NIT opponents and helped put an end to a gritty West Virginia team’s season. Syracuse, 22-11, reeled off its seventh straight victory after a mediocre 15-11 regular-season re cord. The Mountaineers led virtually the entire first half en route to a 44-40 advantage at intermission. Mountaineers forward Greg Nance scored 14 of his 22 points in the opening half, when West Vir ginia repeatedly beat Tulsa down- court for easy layups off the fast break. Center Greg Stewart, a New York native, added 19 points for Tulsa and Mike Anderson chipped in with 17 in the first meeting ever between the two teams. Tulsa stayed in the game over the first 20 minutes on the strength of their 24-19 rebounding edge over a Mountaineers squad that had been outrebounded only six times the entire season.

The team lost a cool $1 million last year, a dismal showing he said can be turned around with the help of new coach Bum Phillips. LIVE entertainment; Thur. Fri. Sat.
