NCAAs Continued from page 1 from the field this season, but their opponents didn't find things any easier, averaging just over 43 percent and 68.6 points per game. "I know he's a disciplinarian," Chris Webber said when asked about Temple and Chaney. "They practice at 5:30, 6:30 in the morning. They are very possession-conscious, slow- ing the ball down." But the Michigan players feel they are ready for any type of game at this point in the season. "It's nothing too different from some of the team's in the Big Ten," Freddie Hunter said. "Purdue plays like that. We just have to be patient." Patience was necessary yester- day, also, as the players, coaches and media waited at Crisler for Mich- igan' s spot in the tournament to be announced. The Southeast regional brackets were the last to be shown on the CBS telecast. And they might have saved the best for last, judging by Michigan's counterparts headed to Atlanta, and those travelling to the other Southeast venue, Dayton, Ohio. Eight of the regional's 16 teams were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll a week ago - Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Arizona, - North Carolina, Alabama, Michigan, St. John's and Tulane. The second round games could provide some marquee matchups. Arizona and Michigan would be one such collision, but the Wolverines can't afford to look ahead. "We're just gonna take it one game at a time," Jimmy King said. "Playing such a good team early on could help us." Fisher will once again employ the preparation philosophy that helped Michigan win its last three games of the season. "We want to break it down into mini-tournaments," Fisher said. "We want to play two games, we want to win two games." Michigan was joined by four other Big Ten teams in making the tournament - Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan State and Iowa. Both West Virginia and the Atlantic 10 tourna- ment champs, Massachusetts, joined Temple in getting bids.

St. Boilers deny Indiana Big Ten title, 61-59 Associated Press Woody Austin scored 20 points and Matt Waddell hit three free throws in the final 35 sec- onds as Purdue beat No. 4 Indiana, 61-59, yes- terday, costing the cold-shooting Hoosiers a share of the Big Ten Conference championship. The victory for Purdue (8-10 Big Ten, 16-14 overall) avenged a 41-point loss to Indiana earlier this season in Bloomington and gave the Big Ten title to Ohio State by one game. The Hoosiers (14-4, 23-6) rallied from nine points down in the first half and took a 10-point lead midway through the final period, but their frigid shooting let the Boilermakers take control the rest of the way. Purdue ran off 10 straight points on baskets y WmnAA11 Ms,t P;,ntr ,nd thre. oina mro w 25 points from Christian Laettner. Laettner, the tournament MVP who led six players in double figures, helped the Blue Devils take a title they hadn't won since 1988. Since then, Duke had lost two tournament champi- onship games, both to the Tar Heels. The latest loss was a 96-74 decision in last year, which Duke players called an embarrassment. This time, the Blue Devils trailed by five early in the first half, but their defense stymied a hot start by North Carolina. With the victory, Duke (28-2) earned an au- tomatic bid to the NCAA tournament and a chance for consecutive national championships, a feat last accomplished by UCLA in 1972-73. The Blue Devils start their bid at full strength as 1nIhhx T.r,and (rant K:, .....tnrn.frn.in- season title by three games over Oklahoma State and two other teams. This was their first tourna- ment title since 1986 and their fast appearance in the championship game since 1987. The game was played with the same defensive intensity found in the two regular-season meet- ings. Oklahoma State won the first, 64-56, in Stillwater, and Kansas won the rematch, 77-64, in Lawrence. The Jayhawks held the Cowboys (26-7) to 38 percent shooting. They hit 71 percent of their shots in the second half after making just 32 per- cent in the first. Walters made a 3-pointer with 11:18 remain- ing that tied the score at 38. The Jayhawks took the lead for good, 46-44, on a shot inside by Eric Paniev with 7.29 remainino Senior Editors Josh Dubov Al Lin John Niyo JAff Willian Sports Monday w ms Answer to SDortS
