NCAA Tourney
Looms as Races
Draw to Close
Am the basketball season
wanes Into the final four wcckH,
the major topic of convocation
Ih the pout season tournaments.
The National Collegiate Ath
letic HHHociaUon tournament
starts In less than a month. The
NCAA supposedly has most of
the top teams nailed down, but
the National Invitational tour
ney annually comes up with some
of the best matches.
Regarding the NCAA, some
teams already have berths
nearly elnelied, but in most
cases the conference champion
probably won’t lie decided un
til the final game, or games,
of the season.
In the Pacific Coast confer
ence, Oregon State has a com
manding lead In the Northern
Division. The Beavers have a
10-0 mark, four full games ahead
of second place Oregon.
Stanford and UCLA (5-1) are
tied for the Southern Division
lead and square off In a crucial
series this weekend.
Highly ranked Utah Is pacing
the Skyline Right with a gaudy
7-0 record and should breeze in.
Brigham Young trails with 4-2.
Clear across the country,
I'enn tops the Ivy league with
6-1. Columbia stands at 5-1,
hilt cither Cornell or Prince
ton, with two losses each,
could sneak In.
The Western conference (Big
Ten i is having a knock-down,
drag-out struggle. Iowa and Min
nesota are currently perched on
top (5-2), but Illinois is pressing
with 4-2.
Maryland, a deliberate of
fense team, leads the Atlantic
Coast conference, but is pressed
by Duke, North Carolina, and
North Carolina State. But the
Wolfpack is playing only for
glory, being on one-year disci
plinary probation from the NC
AA and barred from competition
in the big tournament.
Richmond leads the Southern
Conference and Kentucky, by vir
tue of Vanderbilt's Monday night
win over Alabama, tops the
Southeastern.
Favored Texas Christian (6-1)
leads the Southwest.
Colorado Is unbeaten In the
Big Seven but meets once
lieaten Missouri Saturday
night. This one should go a
long way toward deciding the
conference champion.
In the Missouri Valley Tulsa
and St. Louis are neck and neck.
Tulsa stands at 4-1 and St. Louis
is 3-1.
