Kentucky, finishing 27-6, first

The Southeastern Conference

Temple win ends Richmond’s Cinderella story
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)
— Mike Vreeswyk scored eight of his
19 points in a 20-8 spurt midway
through the second half as No. 1
ranked Temple defeated Richmond
69-47 Thursday night in the NCAA
East semifinals, ending the Spiders
string of postseason surprises.
The victory was the 18th straight
for the top-seeded Owls, 32-1, and
moved them into Saturday’s regional
championship game against second-
seeded Duke, which defeated Rhode
Island 73-72. The teams have not
played this season.
Temple, which went into the
game as the No. 1 ranked team in
defensive field goal percentage at
39.5 percent, rarely was threatened
against Richmond. The Owls’ stingy
matchup zone constantly forced the
Spiders to shoot from much farther
than they wanted.
Richmond, the champions of the
Colonial Athletic Association, stayed
close for about 24 minutes. Then the
