UT caps perfect season
with 97-81 win over USC
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Texas Coach Jody Con-
radt couldn’t think of a better way for the Longhorns
to end the season.
And it just wasn’t capturing the NCAA national
championship. It was the way in which Texas domi
nated Southern California 97-81 in Sunday’s nation
ally televised game.
“It was fitting we ended the season with that kind of
game,” said Conradt, the winningest women’s coach in
NCAA Division I history with a 439-1 12 record. “To
think you will achieve it (a championship) is the perfect
season. A dream. It’s overwhelming.”
Texas, in capturing its first women’s basketball title,
finished with a 34-0 record, the first team to go
through a season unbeaten.
Texas was sparked by reserves Clarissa Davis, a
freshman forward, with 24-points, and Cara Priddy, a
senior center, with 15. In all, the Longhorns’ reserves
outscored the Southern California reserves 58-4.
“This is the deepest bench in women’s basketball,”
Conradt said. “It doesn’t matter who starts. This is a
team of 13 individuals and each contributes.”
Southern California Coach Linda Sharp, whose
team finished with a 31-5 record, agreed.
“Texas continued to bring in players off the bench,”
she said.
Davis, the tourney’s most outstanding player, scored
on follow up shots and long jumpers.
“The world didn’t know Clarissa Davis until she got
here,” Conradt said. “She’s the player of the future,
but she has a long way to go.”
Priddy, who gave the Longhorns 18 solid minutes of
play, said, “I was happy she put me in. It’s not degrad-
ingtosit on the bench at Texas.”
The victory was the biggest in the five-year history
of the tournament. The previous biggest margin came
in 1982, when Louisiana Tech defeated Cheyney 76-
62.
Southern California’s Cheryl Miller, a four-time All-
America forward, scored 16 points, 12 from the foul
line, before fouling out with 7:30 left in the game.
Priddy ignited a 10-0 run with a three-point play
that gave Texas a 32-30 lead with 5:12 left in the first
half.
Guard Beverly Williams then connected on a 12-
foot jump shot, followed by Priddy’s two free throws
and jump shot, and a free throw by forward Yulonda
Wimbish, before Williams closed the streak with a
short jumper at 2:06 for a 39-30 advantage.
Miller broke a Southern California scoring drought
that lasted from 5:29 to 1:50 with a 20-footer at 1:50.
Texas, hitting 19 of 29 shots in the first half, led 45-
35 at halftime. Southern California, hitting only 10 of
28 field goal attempts, stayed close by sinking 15 of 18
free throws.
Texas went on an 8-2 spurt in the first 2:04 of the
second half, opening a commanding 51-37 lead.
The Longhorns stretched the lead to 84-64, their
biggest of the game, on Wimbish’s short jumper at
5:57.
Texas, finishing with 40 of 68 field goal shooting for
58.8 percent, also got 14 points from forward Fran
Harris, 13 from guard Beverly Williams and 10 from
Wimbish.
Senior guard Cynthia Cooper led Southern Califor
nia with 27 points, while forward Cherie Nelson had
13 and guard Rhonda Windham had 12. Southern Cal
hit only 29 of 65 shots for a 44.6 percentage.
Davis also grabbed 14 rebounds as Texas had a 42-
32 rebounding advantage. Miller, who played only 28
minutes, and Nelson each had six rebounds for South
ern California.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phila
delphia 76ers Coach Matt Guokas
had reason to he concerned before.
Sunday’s NBA game against the Dal->
/as Mavericks.
He had only eight players avail
able, with the missing including cen
ters Moses Malone and demon
Johnson, and center-forward Bob
McAdoo.
But the shorthanded 76ers got 32
points and a career-high 25 re
bounds from Charles Barkley and a
season-high 29 points from rookie
Terry Catledge, and edged-the Mav
ericks 114-1 13.
“All last night (Saturday) when I
was thinking about who I was going
to play, 1 never once had the feeling
that we could not heal the Maver
icks,” Guokas said.
Barkley, who played 47 minutes,
agreed.
“You’ve got to believe, otherwise
it’s a waste of time,” he said. “You

can’t worry about what you don’t
have, you’ve got to do the best with
what you do have.”
Dallas Coach Dick Motta said his
team was affected by Philadelphia’s
small roster.
“This is the problem teams have
when you play a club that is missing
key people,” Motta said. “You seem
to lack the concentration you need to
win.”
In addition to Malone, McAdoo
and Johnson, the 76ers were missing
guard Andrew Toney and forward
Bobby Jones, who is on the disabled
list with a groin injury.
The 76ers held a 112-103 lead af
ter two free throws by Barkley with
57 seconds remaining, but Dallas ral
lied with seven straight points. Det-
lef Schrempf and Dale Ellis con
nected on jump shots, and Ellis stole
the ball and scored a three-point
field goal with 28 seconds left, nar
rowing the 76ers’ lead to 112-110.
Perry Moss of Philadelphia scored
on a layup with five seconds to go,
before Dallas’ Derek Harper hit a
three-pointer with two seconds left.
Julius Erving contributed 24
points for Philadelphia, while Mau
rice Cheeks had 16 points.
