Wooden conceded that the home- town fans gave North Carolina State inspiration, momentum, and the edge. . "When you make a run, the crowd has a tremendous effect on you," said Wooden. "I thought we had the game in hand on two different occa- sions, but we made crucial mis- takes," said the s c h ola rly Wooden. A happy but subdued Coach N o r m a n Sloan told newsmen, "They are an unbelievable bunch of guys. "I don't know where they get that extra effort. It would be a mistake to single out anyone andk I won't try. He said he thought his team "played it perfectly" at the end of regulation and the first over- time, but the shots didn't go in." Looking to Monday night's title game with Marquette, winner over Kansas in.the first semifinal, Sloan said, "I picked them to win their regional. They are a fine defen- sive basketball team.
