However, Dischinger's 152 free

.917 from the foul line.
The free throw statistics are a
good indicatior of the different
types of teams the two All-Ameri-
cans play for. Dischinger is the
center of the Purdue offense and
many teams can afford to "sluff"
off two or even three men on him
when he has the ball. Consequently
he gets fouled quite often.
OSU Balanced
Lucas, on the other hand, is on
a team with tremendous scoring
balance (four of its five starters
are among the top 13 in Big Ten
scoring) and teams can't afford to
put more than on man on him.
So what do the two stars think
of each other, both on and off the
floor? Well, you might call it sort
of a mutual admiration society.
"He's the greatest," says Lucas.
"He's the greatest," says Disch-
inger.
But who's better, Dischinger or
Lucas? Like I said, who knows?
Purdue travels to lowly Wiscon-
sin to close out its season.
Ohio State must get by Illinois

Regional Cage Tournament

By The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE (A') - Morehead's
little guards came through in an
overtime last night to carry the
Eagles over Western Kentucky 80-
72 and into the NCAA basketball
tournament.
The score was tied 66-66 at the
end of regular play and 5-11 Gran-
ville Williams hit nine points and
Heckle Thompson added three to
eliminate Western from the Ohio
Valley Conference playoff.
Morehead which came from be-
hind to whip Eastern Kentucky in
a playoff Monday night, trailed
35-33 at halftime and began con-
necting from far out to surge
ahead of the Hilltoppers.

Western played four minutes
without scoring a point to the
second half and finally caught up
with 3:48 left in the game when
sophomore Jim Dunn hit a 20-
footer for a 58-58 tie. Dunn hit
again to put Western in front 60-
58 and with 20 seconds left, Ed
Noe hit twice from the free throw
line to pull Morehead within two
points of Western 66-64.
Bobby Jackson stepped out of
bounds and the ball went to M4ore-
head with 12 seconds left. Thomp-
son was fouled again, hit one, got
a bonus and tied it up with 10 sec-
onds to go.
