The previous best was 43 percent by top-ranked Duke in the regional semifinals. Michigan State never seemed fazed by the pressure, beating it early with long passes. The Spar tans were their usual efficient selves when they did run their halfcourt game, getting good looks and crashing the boards and a slight breeze. After winning the first game 9 4, the Ducks finished their dou ble-header sweep of Southern Oregon on Saturday by winning the second game 4-1. The Ducks had two solid per formances from their left-handed starters, Regan Shaller and Kurt Langworthy. Both pitchers threw complete games.

The 1979 final is still the high est-rated telecast of an NCAA basketball game — the one that hooked the nation on the NCAA tournament. “I knew they were going to win, especially when Mateen came back this year,” Johnson said on the court as the Spartans cut down the nets. “It’s been tough waiting these 21 years, but they’ve been great the last couple of years, and I knew they were going to win it all.” Michigan State, which beat Wisconsin 53-41 in an ugly all Big Ten national semifinal, won all six games on its title run by at least 11 points.
