Georgetown Stays Secluded 6 There were five ties and 10 lead changes in the first 11 minutes, but when Catchings jammed in a rebound with 8:50 to go in the half to deadlock, the Rebels snap a never looked back. They moved ahead by as many as eight. and probably should have led than three at halftime. But UNLV missed four free inthrows in the final minutes cluding the front end of two and the Miners were able to stay Coach John Thompson of No. PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) Georgetown made his first public appearance of the NCAA basketball tournament late Saturday afternoon while his team remained secluded. The Hoyas have been in Spokane since Wednesday, but their location 75 miles up a winding road from the site of Sunday's game against in Pullman as the Southern Methodist spread only by Georgtown players were kept away from reporters. "They kind of expect this of me now," an obviously agitated Thompson said Saturday. "By doing this. I'm great copy. You know, they can write, 'Where's Georgetown?' For people who aren't creative writers, 1 give them something to write about." Georgetown athletic director Frank Rienzo said the Hoyas had been secluded in play since Thompson took over the basketball program 12 years ago. "It puts them in a situation where they can concentrate in a way that's best for the players." said Rienzo. "I just feel we need to have a place where we can concentrate on what we're trying to do." Thompson said. "Some people have a great deal of difficulty about my desire to work in privacy. I say, 'Judge me by what I do. if I stay 700 miles away or 200 miles away. "There is nothing secret about it. It's a matter of concentrating on what we want to do. It's a style of working, a style of teaching." he said. "It never ceases to amaze me that we don't accept individuality in a country that was founded on individuality." Southern Methodist Coach Dave Bliss, a former assistant to Indiana's Bobby Knight, said Knight also isolated the Hoosiers to lessen the pressure. But for us. it is neat to be in a tournament. I want them (the I think it's one of the great players) around this type of thing control what you want to say when to have you learning experiences in front of people." Bliss said. 15-1- 5 27-1- word-of-mout- h close. "Boy, the last two times we've lost post-seaso- n the tournament, our free throws killed us, Tarkanian said. "And at I halftime wed made only in Oh But no. we 'em made thought. the second half." in Haskins, too, was bothered at halftime. "We were lucky to be that close, " he said. "I felt we still were somewhat in the game. But I also recognized we couldn't win if we kept playing that way. They were just killing us on the boards." And, it didn't stop there. After UTEP missed chances to cut the Vegas lead to a point on its first three possessions of the second half, the Runnin Rebels took control. A by Spoon James ignited the decisive 10-- spurt that took Nevada-La- s lead Vegas from a to a advantage with 13:21 to play. And, after that, the UNLV defense kept the Miners from getting closer than 10. "We noticed right away that we could go inside on them," said UNLV senior Eric Booker, who had four points and four assists. I dont think their big men can handle ours inside. And that's where the game was won. ... 29-2- 6 2 34-3- 0 44-3- 2 Down low. ber. But not Tarkanian. That's where Adams and Catchings play, and those two dominated under the basket. Adams, a junior. grabbed 14 rebounds while Catchings, a junior, had eight. "Oh, I haven't thought about it much," he said. After last year (when Vegas lost its NCAA opener to North Carolina State at the buzzer), I just think about advancing from one round to the next. Now, we've advanced to the next round. Georgetown still has a game to play tomorrow. If they win, then well start thinking about them." 6-- 9 8 22 almost equalled That total UTEP's team total of 24.
