This year, the Vikings beat three teams invited to the NCAA postseason tournament: Marist, Virginia Commonwealth and Mid-American champion Central Michigan. Cleveland State is led by sopho more Ken “Mouse” McFadden, who averaged 21.5 points per game. McFadden already is the school’s eighth-leading scorer and scored in double figures in all but one game this year. Coach Pat Kennedy guided the Florida State Seminoles to an 18- 10 mark and their first home- court NIT appearance, while Rhode Island’s Tom Penders, who previously coached against Kennedy in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, coached his team to a 20-9 mark, just a year after the team finished 9-19. The Seminoles are led in scor ing by senior guards Pee Wee Barber and LaRae Davis and ju nior forward Jerome Fitchett. The trio accounts for approxi mately 45 points a game for the Seminoles, who average 82 points an outing. Junior guards Carlton Owens and Tom Garrick average 18.6 and 16.9 points, respectively, for the Rams, who get most of their rebounding from Atlantic 10 freshman of the year Kenny Green, a 6-foot-8 forward.

Iped league record of 177, made during the 1979-80 season by the San Diego Clippers. The Mavericks have made 177 of 493 attempts. San Diego made 177 in 543 attempts. “This was one of those up-tempo games,” Dallas coach Dick Motta said. “We got a nice lead, but we just couldn’t put it away early. They hit some big shots. It just didn’t seem to be an intense game, but we did what we had to do to win.” Seattle is 0-5 against the Maver icks this season, and Chambers said, “Dallas seems to have our number. “We haven’t put a game together against them all year. They are a good team and they always seem to be at their best and we at our worst when we match up.” Lloyd says he’ll return to Rockets HOUSTON (AP) — Although Le wis Lloyd is not eligible to play in the National Basketball Association until 1989, he told his former Houston Rockets teammates he’d be back. Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins were banned from the NBA in January after testing positive for cocaine use. Lloyd, who was recently released from a drug rehabilitation clinic in Van Nuys, Calif., said his biggest re gret is a feeling that his absence has hurt the Rockets. “It’s hard for me to watch when they lose,” Lloyd said Tuesday after watching the Seattle-Houston game. “When this happened, I was at the top of my game, and so was the team. If Ralph (Sampson) and Mitch and I were still playing, we would have passed Utah for second place a long time ago.” Sampson is out with an injury. “This is the toughest thing I’ve ever been through,” he said. “But because of it, I know I’m a better person. I’m going to be all right.” Talking to former teammates Jim Petersen and Dave Feitl, Lloyd said, “I’ll be back.” Lloyd said he’ll be joining a team in Europe within a week, but says he is confident he can get back in the NBA in 1989. ng [★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Attention Aggies! <$///, ^ OUTFITTERS Sporting rifles, black powder firearms, complete line of archery equipment, hunting and folding knives, reloading equipment Discount with Texas A&M t.D.
