BOISE, Idaho (AP)-Senior Pace Mannion sank five clutch free throws and set up two uncontested baskets with timely passes as Utah shocked seventh- ranked UCLA 67-61 yesterday in second-round game of the NCAA West Regional basketball tournament.

MANNION, PETER Williams sand Angelo Robinson each scored 18 points as the unheralded Utes, seeded 10th in the West, outplayed the favored Bruins, the region's second seed, down the stretch. Robinson's jumper put Utah ahead fora the final time with five minutes remaining, and the Utes then went in a delay game, forcing UCLA to foul.

Virginia 54, Washington State 49 BOISE, Idaho (AP) - All-America center Ralph Sampson scored 15 points and triggered three second-half fast breaks that resulted in crucial baskets, leading fourth-ranked Virginia to a 54- 49 victory over Washington State yesterday in the second round of the NCAA West regional basketball tour- nament. THE 7-FOOT-4 Sampson, despite scoring only two points in the second half, was instrumental in Virginia's ability to hold off a Washington State rally. The Cougars trailed by as much as eight points in the first half and were down 30-25 at intermission but pulled in- to a tie just a minute into the second half. With 9:18 left in the game, Sampson grabbed a rebound and fed guard Ricky Stokes for a fast-break basket that put the Cavaliers ahead 38-34. Seconds later, Sampson blocked a Washington State shot. The deflection went toward center court and guard Othell Wilson was off for another fast- break basket, giving Virginia a six- point edge.

(AP) - Alvin Rober- tson scored 26 points and had six steals as ninth-ranked Arkansas came back after blowing a 10-point second-half lead to down Purdue 78-68 in the second round of the NCAA Mideast Regional basketball tournament yesterday. The victory sends the Razorbacks in- to the regional semi-finals at Knoxville, Tenn., against the winner of today's Louisville-Tennessee game. ARKANSAS, 26-3, appeared to have the Boilermakers on the ropes with a pressing defense that produced steals and turnovers and enabled the Hogs to build a 42-31 lead with 17:34 to play. But, Purdue, finishing 21-9, fought back to cut the lead to 48-47 as Jim Rowinski and Jim Bullock each scored six points. The Boilermakers took their first lead since the opening minutes on two free throws by Steve Reid that made it 49-48 with 10 minutes to play. Purdue then built a 53-48 lead on a lay- up by Greg Eifert and two more free throws by Reid before Arkansas came back to win behind a spurt keyed by Darrell Walker and Robertson. Ricky Norton's two free throws with 4:22 to play put the Hogs ahead to stay at 59-57. Walker had five points and Robertson four in the comeback that deadlocked it at 57. Walker, a second-team All- American, finished with 22 points and Joe Kleine added 12 for Arkansas, ap- pearing in the NCAA tourney for the seventh year in a row. Russell Cross, playing despite an ailing back, led the Boilermakers with 22 points. Rowinski, Bullock and Reid each had 12 points. Kentucky 57, Ohio University 40 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Melvin Turpin and Dirk Minniefield sparked a second- half spurt that gave 12th-ranked Ken- tucky a 12-point lead as the Wildcats downed Ohio University 57-40 in the second round of the NCAA Mideast Regional basketball tournament yesterday. The victory, snapping a three-game NCAA losing streak for the five-time national champion Wildcats, sends Kentucky into next week's regional semi-finals at Knoxville, Tenn., against the winner of today's Indiana- Oklahoma contest. OHIO, the Mid-American Conference tournament champion, used a slow tempo to stay with the heavily favored Wildcats most of the day. Kentucky was leading 27-23 with 13:50 to play when the Wildcats went on an 11- 3 run for a 12-point lead. Turpin had five points in that spree and Minniefield ad- ded four and also contributed a lob pass that freshman Kenny Walker laid in for the other basket. Ohio, finishing 23-9, never was able to come within eight the rest of the game, and Kentucky never led by more than 12 until scoring the final eight points of the game in the last minute to provide the 17-point margin of victory.

NM 4 1 Top-ranked HOUSTON (AP)-The No. 1 Houston Cougars, refusing to be flustered by Maryland's slowdown tactics, followed Michael Young's 16 points yesterday to a 60-50 NCAA Midwest Regional second-round victory over the Terrapins. Houston will meet the winner of today's Georgetown-Memphis State game in the Midwest semifinals next week. HOUSTON HIT its first five field goal tries and made clutch free throws in the second half as the Cougars slowed the game down themselves in the cat-and- mouse affair. Seven-foot Houston center Akeem Olajuwon scored 12 points before he got into foul trouble and freshman guard Alvin Franklin made four .of six free throws. Maryland, 20-10, was led by Adrian Branch, who scored 20 points, and Len Bias, who had 12. Maryland, which beat No. 15 Tennessee-Chattanooga in a first-round game, played without Her- man Veal, a starting forward this season, who was put on disciplinary probation by the school before the tour- nament because of a campus incident. IT WAS Houston's 23rd consecutive victory and boosted the Cougars, record to 28-2 for the season. The Terrapins of the Atlantic Coast Conference sprung a deliberate offense on the Cougars to start the game. Maryland led by as many as five points before Young hit four straight buckets to give the Cougars a 26-24 lead at intermission. HOUSTON (AP) - No. 13 Villanova, emerging from a late-season swoon, relied on the inside-outside performan- ces of John Pinone and Dwayne Mc- Clain to finally subdue up-start Lamar 60-58 yesterday in a second-round game of the NCAA Midwest Regionalbasket- ball tournament. The Wildcats, 23-7, hit their first eight shots of the game and forced the Car- dinals to shoot over a tight 2-3 zone defense. THE CARDINALS, 23-8, made one late surge, hitting the last eight points of the game before yielding to the Wild- cats, who advanced to the Midwest Regional semifinals Thursday night in Kansas City, Mo., against the winner of today's game between Iowa and Missouri. Villanova, which had lost three of its last four games coming into the tour- nament, was led by Pinone with 15 poin- ts and McClain, who drove through Lamar's defense for 14 poin.ts. Tom Sewell, recovering from a ham- string injury, scored 16 points for the Cardinals and Kenneth Perkins led a late second half spurt to finish with 19 points.

The Wolverines' ten-game winning streak was broken by Stetson, 10-6 on Friday before the squad closed out their spring trip with a 6-5 victory over Rollins yesterday after- noon to put their record at 11-1, the team's best start since 1909. THE WOLVERINES left 12 men stranded in their loss to Stetson, including three in each of the last three innings. Michigan hurlers Gary Wayne and Dan Disher gave up nine walks between them. But despite these problems, Michigan still might have come home with a clean record if it had not been for five unearned runs tallied by Stetson in the fourth inning following an error by first baseman Ken Hayward. An 8-2 deficit was too much for the comeback-oriented Wolverines to overcome and despite four singles and two RBI's by shortstop Barry Larkin.
