Sooner Coach Billy Tubbs, normally a talkative, colorful orator in e interviews, was visibly shaken after the game. His answers were short, direct and spoken in hushed tones. "We are terribly disappointed in this loss, the Oklahoma coach said. "We felt we played hard on defense, but they shot so well. We gambled some, and some of our gambles paid off. Some didnt. We knew Chapman was a good player, but we didnt think he'd hit his career-higagainst us. Tubbs felt the turning point came immediately at the start of the second half. We got off three good shots but didn't get them down. Then, we lost Wayman briefly and that got us in a bind. We just never recovered just cant believe we are going to California, added the Dayton coach who now owns 362 victories. Last Sunday, I was sitting in my office getting ready for my TV show wondering where wed be. It was close whether wed even get into the tournament. We were on the fence. Dayton got in with an 0 record. Donoher and Dayton, indeed, are going to California, and will play in Los Angeles next Friday against the winner of Sundays game. Chapman and Tisdale had markedly different halves. Tisdale, despite drawing heavy coverage and shooting almost every time he touched the ball, hit for 24 points in at the the first half. He was foul line. Meanwhile, Chapman had 17 points in the first period, but he snaked his way inside to score 24 in the second half, many coming on three-poiplays. Tisdale missed his first two shots of the second half, then 30 seconds into the period he took a hard spill under the Sooner basket, twisting an ankle. Three minutes later, Tisdale returned and finished the game. "Once I got back into the game the injury didnt bother me, said the d sophomore. "I came down wrong on my toes, and my Achilles tendon has been giving me some trouble. But I was okay once I got back in. We are still a young club, and I think well bounce back.

But Damon Goodwin hit two field goals and Chapman added five more points and Dayton pulled ahead 8 with 4:28 left. Dayton then feasted at the charity stripe and Oklahoma was left lost and helpless. 43-3- 57-4- 66-5- 68-6- 77-6- 6-- "Our offensive game plan won it for us, stated Donoher. We knew the only way to beat a team like Oklahoma was to go at them offensively. This may be only the second round, but right know I feel as if we had just won a regional title.

Temple Coach John Chaney was not as concerned about the Tar Heel effort as he was about the officiating. The Owls attempted 11 free throws while North Carolina had 24 tries. ". And what bothers me is that these guys let themselves be dictated by the elements such as fanfare,'' Chaney said.
