Crum had a good halftime talk with his squad. The 12th-ranked Cardinals came out shooting after intermission, hit 14 of their first 17 shots and went on to a runaway 93-76 victory over North Carolina-Charlotte in the Louisville Holiday basketball tournament. That put Louisville in tonight’s finals against Western

Kentucky, a 75-61 winner over Evansville in the other firstround game. “I told them at halftime that we were not putting enough pressure on the ball,” said Crum. “We did a little better in that respect n the second half.” Louisville led only 38-33 at halftime before taking charge in the second half, when they scored 14 straight points at one stage and took a 7<Ml lead with nine minutes left. Darrell Griffith led the Louisville attack with 28 points. In the opener, Craig Me Cormick scored 24 points to pace Western Kentucky’s rout

Hayes prevents Cavs from hustling Bullets

RICHFIELD, Ohio (AP) - The Washington Bullets dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers ip nearly everything except hustle Thursday night. The Bullets won the National Basketball Association game 115-113 in overtime, but the tenacious Cavaliers simply refused to let them gel anything easy. It took a pair of free throws by forward Elvin Hayes with three seconds left in overtime to finally put the Cavaliers away after they had overcome leads of 17 points in the second quarter, nine points in the fourth quarter and six points in the overtime. “We have lost so many games over here in so many ways, that nothing would have surprised me,” said Hayes “They (the Cavaliers) threw a good press at us, but it wasn’t that good. We played right into their hands by staying at the baseline and not coming up after the ball.” In other NBA games, Utah beat San Antonio 144-114 and

The Hilltoppers then outscored Evansville 14-2 at the start of the second half behind McCormick and reserve Mike Reese to break the game open. “We stole the hall a couple of times off the zone and were able to go to the half with a lead," said Hilltoppers Coach Gene Keady. "That gave my team the confidence it needed.” Elsewhere, third-ranked Ohio State whipped Cal Poly Pomona 87-46 as Kelvin Ransev scored

(AP) - Notre Dame basketball coach Digger Phelps says he has apologized to UCLA Coach Larry Brown for misreading a situation involving Kelly Tripucka’s injury in Tuesday night’s 77-74 victory over th« visiting California squad. “I talked to Larry (by telephone) this afternoon and apologized for what happened in the last few seconds Tuesday night,” Phelps told reporters Thursday night after Notre Dame’s 79-58 victory over St. Joseph’s. "In all the confusion when Kelly was hurt, someone told me a UCLA player had hit him in the mouth, though we found out later that wasn’t true. “I told him I was sorry, that I simply misread what actually had happened. He accepted that and said the matter is closed and forgotten as far as both of us are concerned.” he added.
