Show SOUTHERN UTAH STATE COLLEGE, CEDAR CITY Ladies winless The Birds decided to pass on the crumpets when they had their tea. They knew they would have their mouths and their hands full Saturday night. Facing Xavier and Tyrone Hill, the one they call T, in the Cincinnati Gardens, SUSC hampered the candidate and shocked the Musketeers with a 97-9- 0 upset. Hill is the 9 forward who was second in the nation in rebounding last season. He opened this season with four on the boards as the Birds limited his effectiveness. I cant believe how well our kids played, said Coach Neil Roberts after the win. Sometimes good things come to kids who work hard. I thought we played better than I thought we ever could. He said the win was the best win he has ever been associated with, including his national championship win while at Dixie JC. The Birds are now 1 and face West Texas State in the Centrum Tuesday night. Tipoff is 7:30. Roberts now believes SUSC can earn a bid to the NCAA tournament if all goes well. If we can win 20 games, we can get an NCAA bid, he said. What the Birds needed to boost their hopes for postseason play was a victory over a nationally known team like Xavier. The Musketeers have been to the tournament five times in the last seven years, including four straight years. XU entered the game 77-- 7 at home since moving into the Gardens, but Kelvin Lee led the Bird attack with 32 points and Carl Pollard and Richard Barton shut down the Musketeers inside game. Hill had 18 points. The other big man inside, Derek Strong, added 14 and grabbed 12 boards. Lee had eight points in the final minute of the first half to give SUSC a 49-4- 4 halftime lead, after the Birds had trailed 20-1- 1 with 11:09 to play in the half. The momentum carried over into the second half as Roger McDonald completed a three-poiplay with 13:09 to play in the game to give the Thunderbirds a 60-5- 6 advantage. SUSC took its biggest lead of the game, 67-6on a Lee three-point11:06.
