The
Fifth Q u arter
Sports with M i kr Oths
Beady basketball fans' If the local and asaorted state tournaments didn't
sate your appetite for roundball you have the ever popular NCAA
get together to keep you busy The pairings were announced on Sunday ■ the
lirst tournament with the expanded M team format
For OSl' Beaver fans it's the classic good news bad news story The good
news is that they were invited to the tourney The bad new* is that they have
to play Notre Dame in South Bend Normally. 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
