Also 45 minutes before showtime
ity. No, none of those frills for
North Carolina State. Just a na
tional championship for Coach
Jim Valvano and his unheralded
Wolf pack.
Lorenzo Charles’ slam dunk
with one second left off an
errant 30-foot shot by teammate
Dereck Whittenburg gave
North Carolina State a stunning
54-52 victory over the top-rated
Houston Cougars Monday night
in the NCAA championship
game.
It was the first front-court
basket by North Carolina State
in the second half and also the
only basket the Wolfpack man
aged to score from inside 16 feet
following the intermission as the
ACC school claimed its second-
ever national title.
“This is a dream for me and
my players,” Valvano said. “It’s
so awesome. I’m almost speech
less.”
The Wolfpack handed Hous
ton its first defeat since mid-
December despite 39 percent
shooting, despite being outre-
bounded 44-34 and despite
being outscored 17-2 during the
opening 10 minutes of the
second half. The victory came
courtesy of a prayer — only the
second basket of the game by
Charles.
“We got the Hail Mary shot at
the right spot,” Valvano said.
“You think that was a freak play?
That’s part of our emergency
scoring series — the triple con-
denza play: unbalanced coach
around left end. Our primary
receiver was covered so we
threw it to the tight end over the
middle.

“Lorenzo up to that point
hadn’t been playing up to his
level and then made the greatest
play of his life with the stuff.
You need to have some luck in
the national tournament and
being in the right place at the
right time helps out.”
North Carolina State’s tena
cious 2-3 zone defense held
Houston to its season-low point
total and forced the Cougars
into their worst shooting night
of their 34-game season at 38.2
percent. The Wolfpack also took
everything but the “Phi” out of
Houston’s exclusive Phi Slama
Jama fraternity by out-dunking
the Cougars, 2-1.
Thurl Bailey opened the
game for North Carolina State
with a dunk at the 38 second
mark and Charles closed the fes
tivities with his dunk. The only
other dunk by either team in be
tween came off an offensive re
bound by Houston center
Akeem “The Dream” Olajuwon
with 5:06 left in the first half.
“Our goal was not to give up a
dunk,” Valvano said. “It has a
tremendous impact on their
club. We wanted to force them
to beat us from the outside.”
North Carolina State rose
from a third-place regular sea
son finish in the ACC and a No.
6 seed in the West Regional to
win its first NCAA champion
ship since 1974.
The 14th-rated Wolfpack ex
tended its winning streak to 10
games in finishing the season
26-10, thus becoming the first
NCAA champion with a double
figure loss column. Indiana won
the 1981 championship with
nine regular-season losses.
North Carolina State beat
Pepperdine, No. 6 Nevada-Las
Vegas, Utah, No. 4 Virginia, No.
15 Georgia and No. 1 Houston
in the tournament to deliver the
state of North Carolina its
second consecutive NCAA
championship.

HOUSTON — Big talk is in
short supply as the injury-
plagued Houston Astros open
the season tonight against the
Los Angeles Dodgers.
Astros knuckleballer Joe
Niekro gets the pitching call be
cause of Nolan Ryan’s illness. He
faces Dodger lefty Fernando
Valenzuela.
Manager Bob Lillis begins his
first full season as field boss, and
he does it with a projected open
ing-day lineup that has only
three players in the same posi
tions as at this time last year.
In spring 1982, Astros’owner
John McMullen and General
Manager A1 Rosen boasted pub
licly they had the team to win the
division title, hut a fifth-place
finish and injuries have made
them take a wait-and-see atti
tude in 1983.
Injuries dogged the team
right up to the opening bell. Lil
lis said on Monday he might wait
until just before gametime to
issue a lineup.
“I’m awaiting medical re
ports,” he said.
He wanted to see if f irst base-
man Ray Knight can play on a
sore Achilles tendon and what
