jumped in the passing lanes and they
were putting a lot of pressure on us,"

an 11-0 run that included four points
each by Bowie and Kenny Walker and
three by Jim Master.
"We were in trouble from the get-'

"As powerful as Kentucky is, you can't
get down 10 points early."
The Cougars, 20-11, never were able
to get within seven points the rest of the
way, and the Wildcats turned it into a
rout with runs of 8-0 and 9-0 early in the
second half, the latter creating a 61-35
lead with 12:32 remaining.
"I THINK they really want it, I think
they're really hungry," Coach Joe B.
Hall said of his Wildcats' quest for the
school's sixth national championship.
It was the sixth victory in a row and
the 11th in 12 outings for the Wildcats,
who hope to use their home floor as a
springboard to the ninth Final Four ap-
pearance in the school's rich basketball
history Kentucky has won five national
championships.
Walker led the balanced scoring with
19 points, Bowie had 16, Melvin Turpin
15' Master 13 and reserve Winston Ben-

tucky overpowered Brigham Young 93-
68 as both teams advanced to the
regional semifinals on Kentucky's
home floor next Thursday night.
MARYLAND will meet the winner of
today's clash between sixth-ranked
Illinois and Villanova.

But it was the Rebels' show in the
second half to the delight of many of the

Catchings scored UNLV's first four
points of the period as the Rebels even-
tually built the 44-32 advantage on two

free throws by John Flowers.
The Rebels, of the Pacific Coast

pressure thereafter, and the closest
UTEP came was at the 3:45 mark on a
basket by Reynolds that cut it to 62-50.
For the game, UTEP managed just 44
percent from the field, hitting 22 of 50
shots. UNLV scored just one more field
