I'd say that drawing Notre Dame in the NCAA would tie a good break At home, however,the Irish are very tough It remains to tie seen how many tickets are snapped up by local fans but the Irish faithful! are traditionally a stout group In the past, the tournament committee had tried to avoid granting home games in the NCAA This year they officially changed that policy, probably to stimulate ticket sales In addition to Notre Dame. Dayton and (Georgia Tech are playing at home Interestingly. Tulsa was not given a home game The tug name conferences dominated the brackets, with the Big Fast and Big Ten conferences receiving six berths apiece The ACC and the SEC each twigged five tourney slots For all the talk of the Pac 10 slipping down the prestige ladder the conference got four spots The Missouri Valley, Sun Belt and Big Eight Conferences earned three berths apiece, while no other leagues grabbed more than two It's interesting to analyze the brackets to tee how close tome of the local teams came to not getting into the toumeyat all Many Beaver fans felt that the loss to UCLA on Thursday was the last gasp for the Orange Express In fact, the Beavers apparently got In with tome room to spare To confirm that fact, you need to look at the seeding! Twenty nine teams were automatic qualifiers The remaining :t5 berths were invitational The committee then seeded the teams from one to 16 in each regional By throwing out the automatic qualifiers, it's possible (In groupings of fouri to rank the teams from I to 64 The Beavers are seeded No 10 in the Southeast regional Seven teams have lower seedings than OSU No 13 Iowa State. No 13’s Old Dominion Miami. Pittsburgh and Kentucky, and No l i t Boston College and I ’T E P ' In addition, the Beavers are in a group of No 10 seed* with Iie l’aul Michigan State and Arizona Never a doubt, Beaver fans Besides the co champ* of the Par-10, only UN'LV made the tourney 's top JJ from the VSest It was at least the second year in a row that the committee has shown a total disdain for West Coast basketball Umking at the overall brackets, there are 2« teams and the District of Columbia represented plus one team that I'm not sure where it s from Pennsylvania has five trams in the tourney, while North Carolina. Ohio and Illinois have lour each It all gets under way this Thursday, with vimetmdy a mere sis wins from Ihe title It should he fun March is Music In Our Schools Month with thix year s theme being "Music For All Ages " Several musical activities which carry out the theme are planned for the month says Heppner High School Hand Director I ton Christensen The high school band has just completed pep hand performances for the girl's basketball team as they went on to a state title The high school Jazz Band per formed an assembly concert for Ihe fifth through eighth grades on March 6 Another concert is planned for the high school student body on Tuesday.
