Wildcats battle Utah
for national title toda
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - No gimmicks this time for Utahjust another win over
a No. 1 seed.
One week after the Utes shocked the defending national champions in a 25-point
laugher, they held on for a 65-59 victory over top-ranked North Carolina on
Saturday, advancing to the Final Four championship game for the second time in
school history. Utah won the title in 1944.
Tonight, the Utes (30-3) will face Kentucky, which beat Stanford 86-85 in over-
time in the other national semifinal.
Against Arizona last Saturday in the West Regional final, Utah coach Ric
Majerus went with a triangle-and-2 defense and held the Wildcats to 28 percent
shooting.
Against North Carolina (34-4), the nation's leading shooting team at 52 pe-cent,
the Utes went straight man-to-man and lived up to their title as the No. 2 field goal
defensive team in the country. The Tar Heels shot just 39 percent (27-for-69),
including 3-for-23 from 3-point range.
The loss ended the great rookie season of 60-year-old Bill Guthridge, who
replaced Dean Smith after sitting beside him for 30 years.
He led the Tar Heels back to the Final Four, just the seventh time a first-year
coach got his team to the semifinals. He also set the record for victories by a fi
year coach, but it wasn't enough to get the Tar Heels to their eighth national cha
pionship game.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --Tennessee capped the perfect season by playing th
nearly perfect game.
in a masterful, dominant display of running, shooting, passing and rebounding
Tennessee overwhelmed Louisiana Tech 93-75 last night to win a record third straig-
NCAA title.
The Lady Vols' 45th straight victory dating back to last season produced their
title, all in the last 12 years, and they finished 39-0 - the most victories ever or
women's team in NCAA play.
The dominating performance added further backing to the claim that thi
Tennessee team might be the best of all time - and there's not likely to be any letu
next season. Coach Pat Summitt's team has only one senior.
Louisiana Tech (31-4) also brought a rich tradition to the championship game, a

Lady Vols.

teammates for easy buckets when she was double teamed and did pretty much 0

Freshmen Tamika Catchings and Semeka Randall keyed the Lady Vols' siothe
ing defense that forced the shorter Lady Techsters to take tough shots and rarely gas
them a second try.
Catchings scored 27 points, mostly by slashing to the basket or getting offensis
rebounds. Randall flew down the court time and time again on Tennessee's devasta
ing fastbreak and finished with 10 points.
