A year ago, the favored Hoosiers were beaten by Cleveland State in the first round. This season, even with a No. 3 national ranking, they have shown a tendency to let up against weaker opposition. “We hope we learned a valuable lesson last year with Cleveland State,” said Indiana guard Steve Al ford, a two-time All-American who is the school’s career scoring leader with 2,300 points. “We hope things are different this year, but we can’t really tell until the game starts. Hopefully, we’ll be in it.” Indiana, 24-4, tied Purdue for the Big Ten Conference championship. The league has no postseason tour nament, and Indiana got the Big Ten’s automatic berth. Fairfield fin ished only 15-15 but earned its sec ond NCAA appearance by winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Confer ence tourney. “The thing about Fairfield we have to respect is they weren’t ex pected to win their conference championship,” Alford said. “But yet they’ve won four or five games to finish the season, and I’m sure they’re going to be very hungry and motivated to play against us, espe cially at the Hoosier Dome, where there’s going to be a lot of Indiana fans.” The Fairfield-Indiana game will be the last first-round game tonight at the Hoosier Dome, which seats about 43,000 for basketball. No. 14- ranked Missouri (24-9) opens against Xavier, Ohio, followed by No. 17 Duke (22-8) against Texas A&M (17-13) and Auburn (17-12) against San Diego (24-5). The Indiana-Fairfield winner will play the Auburn-San Diego winner on Saturday, followed by the win ners of the other first-round games. “Regardless Of who it is, we’re going to have to work hard,” said Al ford, the team leader at 21.8 points a game. “Fairfield plays hard. They’re an aggressive team, from what we’ve seen of them. In the whole tourney, regardless who we face, it’s going to be very competitive.” Fairfield is led by 6-8 senior for ward Jeff Gromos at 20.2 points and 9.1 rebounds a game. “Playing a team like Indiana and a coach like Bob Knight is a great thrill for me and our program,” said Fairfield second-year coach Mitch Buonaguro, whose Stags were beaten by another Big Ten team, Il linois, in last year’s tournament. “They’re just an outstanding team. I think they have the capability of win ning the whole thing. “Anytime you get the 16th seed playing the No.l seed, everyone’s going to say it’s one of the biggest mismatches of the tournament,” he said. “But we’re just going to go out and do the best we can and play as hard as we can.” Duke, an at-large tourney entrant, is making its fourth straight NCAA appearance despite the loss of the top four scorers from last year’s Fi nal Four team. The Blue Devils lost to eventual champion North Caro lina State in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tourney. Sophomore Danny Ferry leads Duke at 14.4 points, 8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. Texas A&M was the Southwest Conference tourney champion and is making its first NCAA appearance since 1980. The Aggies are led by forward Winston Crite at 16 points and 7.3 rebounds and guard Todd Holloway at 13 points a game. Missouri is coming off a victory over Kansas for the Big Eight tour nament title and its second straight NCAA appearance. The Tigers, who lost to Alabama-Birmingham in the first round last year, are led by junior forward Derrick Chievous at 25 points a game. Xavier, which lost to Alabama last year in the first round, captured the Midwestern Collegiate Conference championship. The Musketeers’ top scorer is Byron Larkin at 24.8 points a game. Both Auburn and San Diego were at-large entrants. Auburn, which lost to eventual national champion Louisville in the regional final last year, is led by Jeff Moore at 17.2 points and 9.3 rebounds. San Diego won the West Coast Athletic Conference regular-season title but lost to Pepperdine in the conference tournament semifinals. Scott Thompson is the team’s top scorer and rebounder at 15.9 points and 7.5 rebounds. Penn faces enormous task against No.2 North Carolina CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —Penn Coach Tom Schneider —whose team won its NCAA berth as Ivy League champ and drew No. 2 North Carolina in the East Region first round — says his players will “try to pull something off’ against Dean Smith’s Tar Heels. Penn meets North Carolina to night following matchups that begin with No. 19 Texas Christian against Marshall at 11 a.m., followed by No. 18 Notre Dame versus Middle Ten nessee and Navy against Michigan. Schneider’s 13-13 Quakers are facing an experienced, 29-3 team that is accustomed to pressure and is playing near its home turf, the coach said. “We know we’re playing a great team, and against one of the greatest coaches who’s ever been in the game, but we’re going to work at it,” Schneider said. Smith’s club visited Penn’s home floor, The Palestra, Jan. 3, playing La Salle in a doubleheader that also featured a Penn-Notre Dame mat chup in which the Quakers blew a 15-point lead in a 71-67 loss. Smith said he remembers that. “Beating Penn will certainly not be a given,” Smith said. “I remember what they did to us in the 1979 tour nament at Raleigh.” That day, Penn beat the third- ranked Tar Heels on the way to the Final Four. Smith, whose Tar Heels lost 68-67 Sunday to North Carolina State in the Atlantic Coast Conference bas ketball, said losing the tournament won’t cause his team to feel guilty going into the NCAA tournament. “Losing the ACC Tournament championship ... or losing to Notre Dame .... I think you start question ing yourself,” Smith said. “But that can be a healthy sign. We can learn from this. I think we can beat Penn. I think we can defeat anyone. But anyone can beat us.” Penn center Bruce Lefkowitz said his team has experience against top- ranked teams. “We’re loose,” Lefkowitz said. “We have no pressure on us. They’re No. 2 in the nation. They have a little on them .... I expect to sur prise a few people down on Tobacco Road.” In the East Region opener, Mar shall will be fresh off a victory in the Southern Conference tournament when it meets TCU. Marshall coach Rick Huckabay says looking at TCU is like looking in a mirror. “They’re so much like us,” Hucka bay said. “They have the same chem istry. Coach (Jim) Killingsworth likes to use the matchup on defense, they work hard to get good shots, and they play as a team rather than as a collection of individuals.” « Cl Si S S $ A&M NIRA RODEO March 19, 20, 21 7:30 - ^ Dick Freeman Arena on 2818 .a For more information /o«*-ooo4 764-6882 Contact Lenses Only Quality Name Brands (Bausch & Lomb, Ciba, Barnes-Hinds-Hydrocun; -STD.
