For the second straight game, the Horned Frogs won. It wasn’t easy, but they won, defeating Arizona State’s Sun Devils on the road by a score of 78-76 in Monday’s second-round NIT action. TCU, which had defeated Tulsa 64-62 in a road game last week, will now play the Nebras ka Cornhuskers on Thursday night in Lincoln, Neb., at 7:30. Nebraska, 21-9 on the season, relied on junior forward Stan Cloudy’s 24 points and eight re bounds to defeat Iona on Mon day night. The winner of the Cornhusker-Horned Frog quar terfinal game will travel to the NIT “Final Four” at Madison Square Garden in New York City. TCU, which held a 39-35 lead at half time, received a combined 55 points from senior forward Doug Arnold and senior guard Darrell Browder. Browder scored 23 of his 29 points in the First half and the 6-9 Arnold had 20 of his 26 points during the second half, throughout which TCU held only narrow one- or two-point leads. The loss was ASU’s fourth in its Final 14 games, as the Sun Devils Finished the season 19-14. Byron Scott led Arizona State with a game-high 33 points, Paul Williams scored 19 points and Chris Beasley wound up with 14 for the game. The two teams tied the score 16 times during the game, — 13 times in the First half — before Dennis Nutt hit a jumper to give the Horned Frogs their four- point halftime lead. Browder fouled out with 9:52 left in the game and TCU ahead only by one at 60-59. Arizona State took a 68-67 lead on Walt Stone’s basket with 5:50 left, but Arnold scored six unanswered points to give his squad a 73-68 lead. The Sun De vils closed to 77-76 at the 2:19 mark, but Beasley misdl cial free throw and TCI J Christensen made otiej seconds lef t to give thelj Frogs their margin of nJ Christensen missed; throw with 10 secondsnl ing, but the Sun Devilsij missed several tip-inaM the Final buzzer.

Too tall for the Cougars’ best defensive player, Lee demands the close attention of one of Houston’s two starting centers, Cougars forward Clyde Drexler said on Monday. Giving Lee the attention of a center, however, would take a key rebounder away from the boards because Lee roams the wings and shoots the lights out from there. Coach Guy Lewis did not hand out defensive assignments in the team’s first practice for an NCAA Tournament match Fri day in Kansas City against Mem phis State, but 6-7 Drexler — the team’s leading defender — ex pected he wouldn’t draw Lee. “We’re gonna have to put an agile big man on him and that Coogs’ Clyde Drexler says defense needs good game will create some problems,” he said. Seven-foot Akeem Olajuwon of Lagos, Nigeria, the nation’s leading shot blocker and the team’s leading rebounder, is more agile and a better jumper than Houston’s other center, 6-9 Larry Micheaux. Olajuwon seldom chases around the court. He fouls more than the other Cougar starters. “II he (Olajuwon) is out of the middle, we have somebody else who can clog up the middle. Micheaux can do that. We’ve done it before," Drexler said “Against Texas A&M. they took their big man, Jimmy Gilbert, out to the top of the key to get Akeem off the boards." I he Cougars beat A&M 84- 61 and 86-66 during their 23- game win streak. But the Aggies were not in the Tigers’ class, and Gilbert is not a Keith Lee. Drex ler said. “We knew Gilbert wasn’t going to take the shot at the top of the key so we switched people on him and sometimes ignored him. We can’t ignore Keith Lee. He’ll take the shot,” Drexler said.

The NCAA reprimanded North Carolina State Monday for alleged illegal recruitment of a 1981 high school football player. The NCAA’s Committee on Infractions, meeting in Mission, Kan., declined to name the play er, but former coach Monte Kif- fin, who resigned under press ure late last yeaf, previously con firmed the investigation in volved defensive tackle Reggie Singletary. The alleged viola tions were committed during Kiffm’s tenure. There were no post-season or Unplanned Pregnancy!

The NCAA said the violations would “affect the young man's eligibility to represent the uni versity in a post-season football game.” The investigative committee said North Carolina State is ex pected to appeal. The university may appeal to the NCAA Eligi bility Committee to allow the player to play in postseason games. Kiffin, contacted in Green Bay, Wis., where he has joined the Green Bay Packers organiza tion, expressed regret over the probation. But he was relieved it was not harsher. “I’m pleased it didn’t come out any worse,” Kif fin said. “No one knows better about any pos sible violations than the head coach. I knew all along what had happened, how it happened and that it was not an intentional thing.” North Carolina State coach Tom Reed, who came from Miami of ()hio to replactWI said he did not expectthtf tion to hurt the Wolfpnf hall program. “I don’tseeanyprobbi with the probationbecausiH ahsolutelv no sanctionsa: j ^ to it.
