Show Basketball Begins Saturday If you're not a football fan there will be another sport you can see, college basketball, that begins this Saturday. The Western Athletic Conference basketball season gets off to an unofficial start on November 21 at Springfield Mass. The National Basketball Hall of Fame college tipoff classic is a rematch of the NCAA Eastern Regional Finals in Atlanta last year --Virginia, --Virginia, led by Ralph Sampson, going against Brigham Young, led by Fred Roberts. The nationally televised game will begin at 11 a.m. MST from the Springfield civic center. BYU obviously ob-viously has guard problems as Danny Ainge and Steve Craig are graduated. Greg Ballif is the lone seasoned vet, but he has his front line of Roberts and Steve Trumbo at forward and a vastly improved Greg Kite at center to work with. The game is considered an exhibition and does not count in the statistics or won-loss record. |
