The Michigan Daily-Sunday, March 16, 1980-Page 9 Purdue, UCLA 0 *f0 gai semifinals Morris, Carroll key win LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Drake Morris hit eight free throws down the stretch as Purdue defeated Duke 68-60 yesterday to claim the championship of the NCAA Mideast Regional basketball tournament. The victory was Purdue's 22nd against nine defeats and earned the Boilermakers a date next Saturday with UCLA in the NCAA semifinals at Indianapolis. Purdue took its first lead in the second half, but the Boilermakers were unable to build a significant margin until Morris began earning trips to the foul line. A pair of Morris free throws with 9:38 to play gave Purdue a 47-43 lead. Morris hit six more free throws inside the last five minutes as the Boilermakers expanded a shaky three-point margin to 58-50 with 3:09 left. Duke, which finished 24-9, made its final challenge behind baskets by Bob Bender and Gene Banks. But Purdue put the game away at 1:53 on a three-point play by Joe Barry Carroll to build the margin to 61-54. Carroll, Purdue's 7-foot-1 All-America center, led both teams in scoring with 26 points. Keith Edmonson had 12 and Morris added 10. Mike Gminski, Duke's 6-11 center, led the Blue Devils with 17 points, but managed only two baskets in the second half. The game was tied seven times before Purdue got its first lead at 39-37 on a dunk by Arnette Hallman at 14-38. Edmonson put Purdue ahead to stay at 9:51 when his 15-footer gave Purdue a 45-43 lead. Gminski hit the layup that gave Duke its seven-point lead but he was limited to a single basket the rest of the half. Carroll, meanwhile, began to find breathing space underneath. His six-footer brought the Boilermakers within 18-15 at 9:07 and his three-point play at 6:23 brought Purdue within 22-20. Bruins post easy victor TUSCON, Arizona (AP)-Sophomore Mike Sanders and senior Kiki Vande.weghe tossed in 22 points each to lead the UCLA Bruins past Clemson 85-74 yesterday in the finals of the NCAA West Regional basketball tournament. The victory sends the 21-9 Bruins to the NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis March 22, UCLA's first trip to the national semifinals since 1976. Clemson, which was par- ticipating in the NCAA tournament for the first time in the school's history, finished its season at 23-9. A Clemson cold spell at the start of the second half, including a five-minute period during which the Tigers went scoreless, led to the impressive victory by the Bruins. UCLA ran off an 11-2 spurt in the early seconds of the half to gain an 18- point advantage at 57-39. Clemson never was closer than 10 points after that time. Vandeweghe, one of two starting seniors for UCLA, hit five of six free throw attempts in the closing seconds of the game to preserve the Bruin victory. Guard Billy Williams scored 18 points to lead Clemson. UCLA'shalftime edge of 46-35 represented its largest lead of the game to that point. Neither team was able to assert itself in the game's opening minutes, with both squads shooting well and UCLA matching up well against taller Clemson on the boards. UCLA hit an impjresive 58 percent of its floor shots in the period, and was led in the early going by 14 points from Sanders and 10 from Vandeweghe.

NCAA Matchups Semifinals Saturday, March 22 at Indianapolis UCLA (21-9) vs. Purdue (22-9) Georgetown-Iowa winner vs. Louisville-Louisiana State winner 'WE'VE GOT MOMENTUM -IOWA'S OLSON: Hawkeyes, Hoyas square off today PHILADELPHIA (AP ) -Iowa is patched up, physically and emotionally, and ready to shoot for the NCAA's East regional basketball championship at 1 p.m. today. "We endured plenty of probletns, and hung in tough enough to make the playoffs," said Coach Lute Olson. "Now we've got momentum." Though once more playing the familiar role of the nderdog, Olson's overachievers exuded quiet confidence on the eve of their regional championship game with Georgetown, the Big East power. Louisville faces Louisiana State in the Midwest regional at 3 p.m. in Houston. "WE'VE BEEN underdogs so long that it would be a shock to be in any other position at this point," Olson told a press conference Saturday. "But I never doubted that we would come out of Greensboro. We feel we belong here." Iowa, unloved in the national polls and merely a fourth- jace team in the Big Ten this year, had to fight through Virginia 'Commonwealth and North Carolina State in the East sub-regionals in Greensboro, N.C., before coming to Philadelphia for the regional semifinals. Here, the Hawkeyes upset sixth-ranked Syracuse 88-77 Friday nght to make the finals. JUST BEING IN the East final would seem to be a minor miracle for this troubled team which has been crippled time and again by injuries to both its players and staff. The most crippling blow has been to team leader Ronnie Lester, who hurt his knee and needed surgery during the season. At varying intervals, forward Mark Gannon and guards Kenny Arnold and Bob Hansen have been out with injuries. Lester, although not playing up to capacity, is back in service for the Hawkeyes, as are Arnold and Hansen. "Our team played well without Ronnie and is playing even better with him," said Olson. "He doesn't have to be playing up to capacity to be a factor for us. He's our security blanket -he gives our team stability." ALONG WITH the problems to players, the team recently received another jolt when assistant coach Tony McAndrews was hurt badly in an airplane accident. That initially caused emotional problems for the Hawkeyes. "The players over-reacted, wanted to win all the games for Tony," said Olson. "But we've adjusted to his loss now." Georgetown, on the other hand, has no problems, physical or emotional. Especially emotional. "WE TRY not to appeal to the players' emotions-here," said Georgetown Coach John Thompson. "We try to keep a low profile. We find that players function better that way. Our practices are all quiet - no screaming and no emotion." That type of approach has worked just fine for the 11th- ranked Hoyas, who defeated Maryland 74-68 in Friday night's other East semifinal game- for their 15th straight victory, longest streak in the country. Clemson hit 52 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes, with reserve forward Fred Gilliam's nine points keeping the Tigers close. Two of Clemson's 6-10 front-liners, Larry Nance and Horace Wyatt, picked up three fouls each in the first half. That limited their mobility in the second stanza, and allowed Sanders and Vandeweghe to maneuver at will inside. Freshman guard Rod Foster chipped in 12 points for UCLA. Nance and Gilliam had 13 apiece for the Tigers. U/CTA 85, (lemison 74 UCLA (85) Wilkes 0 2-2 2. Vandeweghe 7 8-11 22. Sanders 7 8-8 22, Foster 6 0-0 12. Holton 2 2-4 6. Dave 2 3-4 7. Allums 2 2-3 6.

The Fighting Illini, who meet Minnesota in the semifinals of the 43rd nnual National Invitation Tournament morrow night at Madison Square Garden, are undefeated in their last 13 contests in tourney action. - This season Lou Henson's club captured its All-Illini Classic and the Rainbow Classic as well as three games thus far in the NIT. LAST YEAR Henson saw is athletes win the titles -of the Great Alaskan Shootout and the Kentucky Invitational. Any particular reason for this success? "None that I can think of," said enson, now in his fifth year in the Big Ten school after spending nine seasons at New Mexico, where he compiled a '173-71 record. "Frankly, I wish I knew the reason. I would try to get the team to do the same things during the regular season. I'm just hoping it can last for two more games in the NIT." ILLINOIS, 21-12, opposes the Gophers, 20-10, in the first half of Monday's doubleheader. Virginia, which beat Michigan, 79-68, Thursday behind Ralph Sampson's 27 points, faces Nevada-Las Vegas, 23-7, in the windup. The consolation and championship contests are scheduled Wednesday. Illinois and Minnesota divided their two meetings during the Big Ten schedule. The Illini dropped a four- pointer in Minneapolis and then prevailed by two in overtime at home. WE ARE NOW UNDER AS MIGHT BE expected, Henson is concerned about stopping Kevin McHale, the Gophers' 6-11 center who is averaging 18.4 points and 9.1 rebounds. "There's no question that he's an All- American," Henson said of the Hibbing, Minn., resident, who was a member of last summer's Pan- American Games championship squad. "McHale will be among the top three players picked in the NBA draft. He - gives Minnesota tremendous size," said Henson. COMES YOU! NEW MANAGEMENT -PAID ADVERTISEMENT REPRINT FROM MICHIGAN STATE NEWS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1980 BLSA1 By KY OWEN State News Staff Writer For prospective law students taking the Law School Admis- sion Test, a "crash" course in how to take the exam may be advantageous, a representative of University LSAT said. Alan Helmkamp ,said most students taking the University LSAT preparation course take it only a week before they take the LSAT exam. Registration is now open for the April 11 course to be offered in East Lansing. Courses will also be offered in Detroit and Ann Arbor in April.. Students are encouraged to register early since the class size will be limited. HELMKAMP SAID THE "crash" course method is effec- tive because the course re- 7 aids opposed to during a month's time)." Generally, students who take the crash course just before the actual exam do better on the exam than students who take a similar course over a month's time, Helmkamp said. "IT'S WORTH IT to kill yourself for the test. It's that important." While grades are also con- sidered by law school admis- sions officials, LSAT scores can "make or break you," Most schools multiply grade point averages by 200 and add them to the LSAT scores, which are figured on a scale of 200 to 800. he said. Then a cutoff point is deter- mined and the students scoring above the minimum score are considered for admission, he law students OUR SPECIALTIES GRECIAN STYLE CHICKEN served with potato, salad, and Texas $3.49 x2.99 * University of Detroit: 3.2 GPA, 585 LSAT; * Detroit College of Law: 2.8 GPA, 574 LSAT; " Cooley Law School (Lan- sing): 2.9 GPA, 512 LSAT. ALL FIVE SCHOOLS are accredited, Helmkamp said students stand a better chance of being admitted to law school if they, apply to a school in their home state. Also, it is easier to be admitted during summer term or to night school, he added. Asked if minority students stood a better chance of being admitted, Helmkamp said schools are being more careful about giving minority students any advantage since -the Su- preme Court ruling the Alan Bakke case, forbids reverse discrimination. CURRENTLY THE JOB market for lawyers is tight and competition is stiff to get into law school, But, he added, if a person is good enough he or she will get a job. The abundance of law school graduates is one reason the American Bar Association is opposing the opening of new law schools, Helmkamp said. This is one of the reasons MSU is not likely to get a law' school in the near future, he added. He also said the state legisla- ture does not have enough money to pay for development of an MSU flaw school at this time. Helmkamp also advised stu- dents not to take the LSAT once for practice.
