It's Georgetown all the wayl
by A! M cOllberry
The playoff» are here and we’ re
down to the final four team» out o f
the original 48 Georgetown, Hous
ton, Louisville and N o rth C arolina
are the only teams left.
The playoffs bring joy and heart
ache and mostly frustration to the
forty-four teams left home to watch
the final games on T .V . and wonder
w hat re a lly happened to th e ir
chances o f glory.
W hen Georgetown came to play
in the Western regionals you knew
then the h a n d w ritin g was on the
wall. The smart money figured that
it w ould be great fo r Georgetown
and N o rth C aro lin a to meet in the
fin al game. W h at em otion! W hat
great T . V . coverage the games
would bring! John Thompson and
Dean Smith’s boys would really give
it their all.
We had picked G eorgetown the
whole year to win it a ll. W hy not?
They have four seniors left from the
back ; ears; in addition their great
freshman Patrick Ewing would be
seasoned a fter th irty games. A nd
th e ir League, the Big E ast, is the
strongest league in the country. Not
the Pac-10. A .C .C o r Big T en .
Folks, it’s called the Big East.
The Big East consists o f Boston
C ollege, Seton H a ll, Providence
College, Syracuse, St, Johns, V illa-
nova, G eorgetow n, C o n n ecticu t.
A fte r all the years o f independent
play the Eastern powers finally got
sm art and form ed a League. The
League brought great enthusiasm
from the public, good T .V . expo
sure and a forum fo r all the good

The road to New Orleans will see

travelers. O n M a rc h 20, G eo rg e
tow n, the num ber one seed in the
west, proved to be too much for the
Oregon State Beavers. Led by seven-

d id n ’ t come to play. This was not
the well-oiled machine that Beaver
fans were accustomed to seeing.
Oregon State seemed to be awed by
the presence o f Georgetown which
caused numerous turnovers in the
final half and led to their early bur
ial.
OSU seemingly ^tood around and
let G eorgetow n score at w ill. But
one should remember that this is a
young Beaver team . A team that

Eastern H ig h School chippers to
stay home;> T h ey p lay a d iffe re n t
game in thé east, full court pressure
and physical play under the boards.
You can lose your front teeth pull
ing down a rebound against the east
ern style o f play.
O regon State was in tim id a te d
from the first moment o f play. The
game against Georgetown was a les
son in style that Oregon State was
not ready for.
A .C . Green and C onners and
C om p an y are very good but the
Pac-10 is not ready for the physical
eastern game. Coach M ille r is b ril
liant in strategy o f the game, but he
can’t teach the intangibles that go
with agressive basketball. I t ’s got to
come from the heart. Y o u ’ve got to
give it to get it, and th a t’s w hat
Georgetown is about.
Y o u cannot prepare a team fo r
the second season as you do in the
regular season. Coaches lik e Ray
M ayer and R alph M ille r, a fte r all
these years, have not grasped that
yeti
I t ’s money time, and N .B .A . con
tract time. The peer pressure is at its
greatest and who wants it the most
will get it. Ihese are the things that
bring greatness and championships
in the second season.
W e must stay w ith G eorgetown
and hope that all o f our readers will
enjoy the blooming o f the greatest
big man ever to come down the
pike, Pat Ewing. H e ’s going to be
with us for a long time.
Oive plaudits to John Thompson.
He has a team that is ten man deep,
and all are pulling for each other to
bring home the golden ring. H ail to
the victors! Hail to Georgetown!
where from third to seventh in the
Pac-10, but instead captured their
third straight Pac-10 title.
These young Beavers for sure are
gaining valuable post-season experi
ence. These Beavers w ill be back.
Oregon State loses only s ix -fo u r
guard Lester Conner from the start
ing lin e-u p , and alrea d y C oach
Ralph M ille r has signed a six-four
recruit whom many think is the best
guard coming out o f high-school in
the midwest. Some have even
pegged him as the next Lester Con
ner.
In the semi-final in New Orleans
North Carolina should easily defeat
Houston and G eorgetown should
have little trouble w ith Louisville.
L o u isv ille w ill run in to the same
problem as Oregon State, no one to
defense Ewing.
In the fin a l. N o rth C a ro lin a ’ s
Sam Perkins and James Worthy will
be more than enough fo r G eorge
town. The pick here is that Coach
Dean Smith will win his first N C A A
Championship.
