North Carolina State and. Mis

ference championships today
after registering impressive vic
tories. State's Wolfpack, tangled in a
tie with 5V6 minutes left, and

C, Tuesday night." j
. At Ames, la., Missouri shook
off a late rally by. Iowa State io
win, 84-67, in an importani Big

North Carolina State, trying
to rebound from a surprise de
feat by Villanova, found itself
trailing by 49-48 at halftime and
no better than tied, 81-81, with
5Vz minutes . remaining. Then
flashy guard Vic Molodet, who
took top scoring honors with 34
points, whirled in for a driving
layup that gave State the .lead
for keeps and touched off the
closing surge. ' .
Molodet had four more points
during, the . winning rally that
gave State, ranked No. .6. in the
nation, its 17th victory against
only four losses.-: -

third place in the ACd and kept
the pressure on first-place North
Carolina and second-place Mary
land. .
Missouri Gets Hot .
Missouri hit on 48 per cent of
its first-half shots and, with a
36-29 .lead at -intermission,
seemed headed for a comfortable
win. But Iowa State rallied stub
bornly and still had a chance to
win with only five minutes left,
trailing by only 67-61. That's
when Missouri, ranked No.' 12
nationally, turned on the power
in a closing burst that outscored
Iowa State, 17-6.
Big center Chuck Duncan led
Iowa State with 27 points while
his pivot rival, Bob Reiter, paced
winning Missouri with 17.
Z The victory gave Missouri a
4-1 mark 4n the Bib Seven to
stay on the heels of ' Colorado
