Show SAYS SHE the can make a case for three four. Which Knight outcoached gentlemanly Dean Smith and the North Carolina Tarheels were gone. Two days later It was Virginia beating out Indiana for the role of biggest underdog in the finals. The other three members of the Final Four were expected to be there. Oh, the selection committee gave in to sentimentality when it made DePaul the top region seed. But they made it fair when they seeded Houston into the same regional. top-seed- of means Georgetown will probably win. The NCAA basketball tournament is to many fans sports the ultimate event. The final weekend culminates an arduous trek that usually Sentimental choices just don't seem to fare well in the NCAA tournament. Remember last year when seemed to favor everyone Virginia, hoping to see Ralph Sampson rewarded for delaying n his dollar NBA career to stay in college for four years? Well, North Carolina State had other ideas, and then the Wolfpack followed that up by includes several major upsets. This year was no exception. The stage was set for a Cinderella team to make the Final Four again this season when, somewhat fittingly in this Olympic year, brash Bobby At Fremont School multi-millio- actually winning the whole ball of wax. Usually the teams that pull off the big upsets run out of miracles a night or two later. Its ironic that Virginia is there this year. Will there be another Cinderella finish? Probably not. The Cavaliers, perhaps the last team selected for the entire field (ala NC State last year), should run out of miracles Saturday against Houston. After all, it was Houston last year that let NC State wear the glass slipper. You see, Houston has been in the Final Four for three straight years. Is it any coincidence that the Cougars Nigerian center Akeem (The Dream) Olajuwan is a junior? Clearly, the Cougars have a monkey on their back. But they also have a lot of experience. Maybe, just maybe, they will climb that mountain this year. But if they do, it wont be easy. And it will be a mountain, no matter who wins the Kentucky-Georgetow- n semi-finSaturday. Olajuwan wont be the only exceptionally talented seven-foote- r on the court Monday if Houston gets past Virginia. I wont have any trouble making up my mind who to pull for Saturday. al I don't care if Kentucky did annihilate BYU. Twice. m al Madden isnt broadcasting the game. Hed be able to use his patented Pow over and over again as the Hoyas bang their way up and down the court. I think that semi-finmatchup is potentially the most interesting game of the entire tournament. Patrick Ewing should have his hands full with Sam Bowie and Melvin Turpin. Kentucky will have 10 fouls to give among its big guns, Georgetown just five. Georgetown roughed up the Cougars once and would have done it again, given an opportunity. I know Kentucky has been there many times before. Ill still pull for the Wildcats and the Twin Towers of Power against And sentiment Georgetown. aside, Ill pull for them again on And I don't think anyone is going to bully Turpin. Had North Carolina made the field, this years Final Four would have featured all of the really big name players college basketball has produced this season. Which brings up the question of whether they are big name players because of their ability, or where they play? Obviously, if a player is on a team where the talents of his teammates make it impossible to Monday. But if they arent there on Monday, Ill be yelling for whoever is. I know basketball is no longer by any stretch of the imagination a but sport, Georgetowns style of play makes football seem almost tame by comparison. Its too bad John - Granger 7 GRANGER.

The cream has risen to the top in this tournament, although North Carolina, with two first-teaselections, will watch along with you and I. Watching the tournament, one cant help but have the appetite for the Summer Olympics whetted. Although several of the good players have been from other countries, therere more than Americans to enough make it possible for Knight to field a team that should be unstoppable, despite the international rules that will be in effect. And within the next couple of years, Ralph Sampson may be seeing some of those players who helped keep him out of the Final Four his last two years of college keep him out of the NBA title series as well.
