Old "Rupp and Ready" just possibly Oscar Fralcy could be dealing in sour grapes because his defending NCAA champs were snubbed in favor of North Carolina State. But the Blue Grass farmer who raises herefords and home grown bas ketball players insisted that such was not the case. REWARD FOR GOOD "If it wasn't for the NIT. some of our teams never would be heard of," growled the ro tund man in the ever-wrinkled suit. "The NIT gives us a re ward for a good job." The baron of basketball was intimating, and strongly, that the NCAA didn't. His club won the Southeast ern conference championship in the loop's post-season playoff on the same day that N. C. State took the Southern conference tournament title. The NCAA chose N. C. State from that district and Rupp im mediately erupted that his team should have received the nod as the defending champion and also because it had a better rec ord.

Favored to win the NIT in 1949, Kentucky lost its open ing game to Loyola of Chicago, 67 lo 56, but went on io win the NCAA crown. "The boys had to get back to their classes, so they didn't stick around long,' Rupp reflected with a booming chuckle. That club was touted by most observers as his greatest team, one which included such stars as Alex Groza. RalDh Beard. Wah-Wah Jones, Dale Barnstable and Cliff Barker. It was so good that it went into pro basketball as a unit. Yet here is Rupp, back again, and he isn't too worried about offending the sensibilities of the NCAA brass hats. The reason is that he thinks his current club composed of 10 sophomores and four upper classmen is better as a second-year aggregation than the Groza contingent was in its sophomore season.
