What a game! Then there was one! by A t McGilberry by Ron Sykes Wow! What a game! It was ail we could ask for and more; it was the Super B owl, Heavyweight Cham* pionship fig h t, W o rld Series, all rolled in to one. The finals o f the N .C .A .A . Basketball Tournament featu ring G eorgetow n and N o rth Carolina, Georgetown from the up start Big East Conference and North C a ro lin a from the established A .C .C . Conference going to war at the Superdom e in New O rleans. 61,000 people at a college basketball game—can you believe that? T h a t’s how far the college jpe<> tacle has come: millions across the country watching on T .V ., enjoying every minute on prime time. The game was a trip into basket ball fantasy, nip and tuck all the way. One team up and then the other; neither team giving the other one inch o f space. No intimidations, ju st tw o greats o f the basketball w orld trying to win the G olden prize. W e had touted G eorgetow n all year. John Thompson had recruited 7-foot Patrick Ewing from Boston to join his four seniors from the bas ketball wars. This was all George town needed to get to the finals— a skyscraper in the middle to control the tempo and How of the game. North Carolina, a team with great players year in and year out: with a coach known to have one o f the greatest minds in the game, going into the season as favorites to win the A .C .C . Dean Smith had James Worthy and Sam Perkins from last year’s front line. Only All-American A l W ood was missing. He added a few freshmen to his roster and away the season started. A t season’s end N orth C arolina had two defeats, Georgetown six. Both teams started the to u rn a ment favored to win their regionals and get to the final four. And then there were just two teams le ft— the way the T .V . executives wanted it. Georgetown and North Carolina for the championship. The game was spectacular all the way and now it was down to 15 sec onds left. Georgetown with the ball; the score 63-62 in North C arolina’s favor. Everyone in the country wait ing for the ball to be thrown to that big giant so he could throw it down. As the seconds slipped by, the world waited for that special m ovietim e ending. But no! It was not to be. N o rth C a ro lin a ’ s James W o rth y had the ball. How did that happen? The game was o ver— N o rth C a ro lina won. Long live the King, long live N orth C arolina, champions o f ill college ball. A nd then there was o n e— a worthy one at that. The N o rth C a ro lin a Tarheels ranked number one in the pre-sea son and ranked number one in the post-season, proved to be just that in conquering the G eorgetow n Hoyas in a 63-62 thriller. A ll along this writer felt that the presence o f both Sam Perkins and James W orthy would be too much for the awesom freshm an Pat E w ing. W orthy showed the world that as a 6-9 ju n io r h e’s p ro b ab ly the best strong forward, professional or col lege, playing the game today. Sure the Hoyas were favored by a mere two points, and th a t’ s hard to be lieve when you consider Dean Smith having his best record ever, 32-2 at North Carolina. Also, remembering that his team (N C ) had to play in the always tough A C C where a breather is as hard to find as an elusive a rte sian. W O R D SEEK I I u Y D A R R YL M OTLEY D a rry l M o tle y , e x-O ra n t H ig h School baseball star, was cut by the Kansas C ity Royals and sent down to th e ir class A A A O m ah a, N e braska, team. M otley was brought up to the parent Royal Square after performing admirably last season in Omaha. “ W e expect great things out o f Darryl,** said Manager Whitey Her zog, “ and we really expect him to be back within six weeks.“ Darryl suf fered a minor injury during spring drills and we feel that playing time at A A A level will be most essential to his career.

And, while this writer picked the A C C champions to win it a l l . . .still I would have to wonder what would have happened i f the sensational young Ewing had not tried to reject everything thrown up. Ewing was called fo r five g o al tending calls, and you don’t have to be a m ath em atician to fig u re out that’s 10 big points. Our salute goes out to coach John Thom pson, who exhibited such great poise throughout the tourna ment. T h e 4 0 -y e a r-o ld Thom pson made q uite an im pression fo r his great sideline coaching. This was a very good, w ell- coached H oya team and i f not for that crucial turnover, with 15 ticks left on the clock, Georgetown could very well have been the ones cele brating instead o f the Tarheels. _______ Portland, Oregon 97206.
