reached base on walks.
A&M went up 6-0 in the second
when Byington hit a double to left
field to bring in Knoblauch and first
baseman Mike Easley.
A&M had more good luck in the
third when Carcione led off with a
double. Taylor, Neumann and Eas
ley each followed with singles, giving
the Aggies an 8-0 lead.
A&M didn’t score again until the
seventh and final inning of the first
game, when Easley singled and Liv
ingstone brought him and Thomp
son home with a double into cen-
terfield.
“The ball just kept falling for us
today,” said Knoblauch, who fin
ished the series with four hits. “We
needed a lift, today especially.”
Johnson said he was pleased with
the team’s hitting performance.
“In the (Saturday’s) first game we
hit really well,” he said. “I did feel
better about our hits today than I
did yesterday. We also caught them
(Tech) at a time when they weren’t
hitting the ball well.”
In Saturday’s second game, the
Aggies took a 1-0 lead in the first
when Knoblauch doubled and
Byington singled to bring him home.
A&M added three runs to make it
4-0 on the two costly Tech errors.
The Raiders scored all of its three
runs in the seventh. Designated hit
ter Mark Helms led off with a dou
ble, and after left fielder Gilbert Ar
redondo walked, Harris hit a home
run to score the runners.
A&M tacked on an insurance run
in the eighth when Byington hit his
11th homer of the year, a massive
shot over the left-centerfield wall.
“It’s been a good week for us,”
Johnson said.
Valvano out
as candidate
for Bruin job
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jim Val
vano is out as a candidate for the
UCLA basketball coaching job, and
Larry Brown of Kansas is reportedly
back in as the Bruins try to fill their
sixth coaching vacancy since John
Wooden retired 13 years ago.
But Brown, who coached UCLA
to the national finals eight years ago,
said Sunday that he’s too busy coach
ing Kansas in Monday night’s NCAA
final against Oklahoma.
“I’ve said it all before. I’m getting
ready to coach my team in a national
championship game,” Brown said in
Kansas City.
“I’m sure the UCLA people un
derstand that. They know what a
coach goes through at a time like
that. They have too much respect for
my situation to address something
like that.”
Valvano, who arrived in Los An
geles with his wife Friday to discuss
the job with UCLA officials, said he
was not offered the position, as had
been reported. He then withdrew
from consideration, saying it was in
his family’s best interests.
UCLA Athletic Director Peter Da
lis did not name other candidates to
replace the fired Walt Hazzard.
However, the Los Angeles Times
reported in its Sunday editions that
while the field is wide open. Brown
and Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski
are being sought.
Brown’s Kansas Jayhawks beat
Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils 66-59 in the
NCAA national semifinals Saturday
at Kansas City, Mo., to advance to
Monday night’s championship game
against Oklahoma.
In his first season at UCLA,
Brown led the Bruins into the 1980
Final Four, where they lost in the ti
tle game to Louisville. He left after
the 1980-81 season to coach the
NBA’s New Jersey Nets and went
from there to Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The
last time two teams from the same
conference met for the national
championship in college basketball,
the underdog won and matched the
mark for most losses by a champion.
On Monday night Kansas and Ok
lahoma of the Big Eight meet for the
title with Kansas an eight-point un
derdog and enough losses to set the
record for most by an NCAA cham
pion.
When Villanova beat fellow Big
Last member Georgetown in 1985,
the Wildcats were 10-point under
dogs and the only unranked team in
the Final Four. Ditto Kansas this
year.
“You have to be lucky, get some
breaks, win a game or two you’re not
supposed to win,” said Kansas Coach
Larry Brown.
Brown should know. He coached
the 1980 UCLA team that reached
the championship game as a heavy
underdog.
“That team had nine losses when
we started the tournament and we
were 8-6 at one time during the sea
son and we came a layup short of
winning it all. I just hope the results
this time are different.”
Kansas, 26-11, and Oklahoma, 35-
3, will meet for the third time this
season. Oklahoma won both the first
two meetings, 73-65 and 95-87, and
while the Jayhawks have changed a
lot this season because of injuries
and academic problems, the Sooners
and their vaunted pressure defense
have remained constant.
“I don’t know if you can compare
their press to any other," said Kansas
oint guard Kevin Pritchard. “They
ave the greatest press in the world
and they showed that against a great
ballhandling team like Arizona.”
Oklahoma beat the second-
ranked Wildcats 86-78 in the semifi
nals, forcing Arizona, which had
committed just 12 turnovers per
game, into nine turnovers in the first
half and 15 in the game.
“The pace at which we play is
hard for some teams to adjust to,”
Oklahoma forward Dave Sieger said
Sunday.
Pritchard, who had five assists and
seven rebounds in the 66-59 semifi
nal victory over No. 5 Duke, has seen
the press twice this season, and it’s
tougher on him than most point
guards because he began playing
that position midway through the
season.
Pritchard has been successful.
When he moved to the point from
his shooting guard position, the Jay
hawks were 12-7 and the next oppo
nent was Oklahoma. Pritchard
played 33 minutes, and although the
Jayhawks lost, the game was a turn
ing point.
Kansas has gone 14-4 since then
with Pritchard running the offense,
and one of the losses was to Kansas
State in the Big Eight tournats
game Pritchard missed beaH
knee injury.
“I didn't realize Pritchars
such an impact on that team Sr
game they played without Pie
they just weren’t the same,

“I really don’t remember

Louisiana Tech rides late charge
to NCAA women’s championship
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Erica
Westbrooks scored 16 of her 25
points in the second half and Loui
siana Tech overcame a 14-point def
icit to beat Auburn 56-54 Sunday for
the NCAA women’s basketball
championship.
The Lady Techsters trailed Au
burn 33-19 47 seconds into the sec
ond half after Diann McNeil scored
the second half’s opening basket.
Leon Barmore of Louisiana Tech
became the first male coach ever to
win a national collegiate women’s ti
tle.
Westbrooks, a 6-foot-3 senior for
ward, led a Louisiana Tech
comeback that was also sparked by
the defensive performance of guard
Teresa Weatherspoon in the second
half on Auburn’s Ruthie Bolton.
Bolton scored 16 points in the
first half as the Lady Tigers took a
31-19 lead, but didn’t score in the
second half.
Louisiana Tech went ahead for
the first time in the game at 53-5 1 on
a lay-in by Westbrooks with 2:13 to
go after a Weatherspoon steal and
pass.
Vickie Orr of Auburn tied the
score at 53-53 on a 10-foot shot with
59 seconds left and Angela k 1 g
