(UPIl The restraint Louisiana Tech showed prior to this weekend's NCAA women's basketball championship disappeared as the seconds ticked away in the title game, leaving the Lady Techsters a 2 winner over Cheyney State. "There's no doubt in my mind that this is the best team to ever play the game," said Tech's top assistant Coach Leon Barmore, the man who calls most of the strategic shots. Said Tech sparkplug Kim Mulkey, "Personally, I don't think there will ever be a team with more talent than this one." Neither Barmore nor Mulkey nor any other Techsters heard much argument following Sunday's triumph that put the finishing touches on a 35-- 1 season. This historic victory in the first NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament was Tech's second consecutive national title (the Techsters won the AIAW crown last season) and fourth straight trip to the Final Four. In knocking down upstart Cheyney State's bid, Tech showed style and 76-6- character qualities that made this team special. Barmore said. "Before this tournament. I thought the Old Dominion teams with (Nancy) Lieberman. (Inge) Nissen and (Annei Donovan were the best ever to play," said Barmore. "But after winning for the second vear in a row, I think this (Tech) team is. "We have better depth. I think too because Donovan was a freshman, she was still learning. We don't have to rely on our freshman as much." Cheyney State. 28-began the game very much in command. The Lady Wolves, riding a winning streak, dashed to an early eight-poin- t lead (18-10- "We've been down early before, but not to a team as good as Cheyney," said Barmore. "The thing was, our kids just wouldn't let this slip awav " Said Tech Coach SonjaHogg. "The experience of being here (Final Four) three times before makes the difference in pressure situations like that." It was with 10:20 remaining in 20-1- 4 the first half when Tech's poise and depth began paying dividends. For the rest of the half.

She added one more field goal and assisted on two others as Tech lengthened the lead. "In that dry spell, both Walkers ( Valerie ana Debra ) went out with foul trouble." said Cheyney Coach Vivian Stringer. "When our big people are in trouble, we're in trouble. "But one of the things that makes Tech so great is that they do have depth. We don't have the big people to keep bringing in. We substituted small, and they substituted big." Tech's biggest reserve was sophomore Debra Rodman. Rodman poured in 14 points and snared a game-hig- h 11 rebounds in just 24 minutes.
