Georgetown provides some normalcy in wild west

By The Associated Press Normalcy prevailed for the most part in the East, Mideast and Midwest. In the wacky West, though, outsiders nearly staged a complete wipeout of the top-rated teams. When the weekend’s action in the NCAA basketball tournament was over, three of the top four teams in the in the East, Midwest and Mideast advanced. Out West, only Georgetown, the top-seeded team and second-ranked in the nation, managed to survive ... barely. The Hoyas edged Southern Methodist 37-36 on Sunday in a defensive struggle that wasn’t decided until All-American Pat Ewing tipped in a missed free throw by Gene Smith with 51 seconds left to break a 34-34 tie. Michael Jackson added a free throw with eight seconds to go and that was enough for the Hoyas to withstand Carl Wright’s 25-foot jump shot with one second left. Georgetown, 30-3, advanced to the West Regional in Los Angeles for a meeting with No. 13 Nevada Las-Vegas on Friday night. The Runnin’ Rebels, 29-5, upset No. 9 Texas-El Paso, the fourth seed, 73-60 on Saturday. The other West semifinal pits Pac-10 co-champion Washington, 24-6, against independent Dayton, 20-10. The Huskies squeeked past No. 14 Duke, the third seed, 80-78 on Sunday, and Dayton upended the second-seeded team in the West, No. 7 Oklahoma, 89-85, on Saturday. All the other regionals went just about with form. Topranked North Carolina, No. 18 Syracuse, unranked Indiana and Virginia moved on in the East. Only Virginia, 19-11, wasn’t among the four highest seeds in the regional but the Cavaliers eliminated eighthranked Arkansas 53-51 Sunday in overtime. The Razorbacks were seeded second in the East. Virginia will play 23-8

Victory a little on

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A 1 Young’s only basket against South Alabama helped Virginia Tech’s Hokies advance to the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament, but Jaguar coach Cliff Ellis would like one more look at the play that ended his season. Young scored on a tap-in with three seconds left to give the Hokies a 68-66 victory in the nightcap of an NIT doubleheader. In the first game, clutch free throw shooting by George Allen and Billy Culbertson led Pittsburgh to a 66-63 victory over Florida State. While taller players were crashing the boards for control of Perry Young’s errant jumper from the right baseline, the 6foot A 1 Young sneaked in for the game-winner. ‘»I was scared to touch the ball because I thought they might call goaltending,” Young said. “When I was going in, it seemed I was the only one that jumped.” Ellis hinted that goaltending might have been the appropriate call. “I’d like to look at that final basket on video tape,” Ellis said. “I don’t want to say it should have been called before I look at it.” South Alabama led by as much as 22-12 before the Hokies made a run that ended with a Perry Ycimg dunk that tied the score at 30 late in the first half. Hitting 11 of 18 from the field, Perry Young led the Hokies with 29 points to raise Virginia Tech’s record to 20-12. Dell

On Saturday, North Carolina, 28-2, subdued Temple 77-66 and Indiana, 21-8, beat Richmond 7567. The Tar Heels and Hoosiers square off Thursday at Atlanta in the other regional semifinal. Kentucky, which will play on its home court in the Mideast Regional, Illinois, Maryland and Louisville advanced.

Curry, the team’s leading scorer, was stymied with foul trouble and finished with 10 points before fouling out. Dexter Shouse sparked South Alabama with 17 points, 15 of which came in the second half. The Jaguars ended the year at 22-8. Pittsburgh led by as many as eight points, but the Seminoles got a boost from David Shaffer and Alton Gipson and eventually tied the score three times down the stretch. Curtis Aiken broke the last tie, at 56-56, with his lone basket at 4:24. Allen hit four straight free throws, yet Florida State was within 64-63 on a Vince Martello free throw with 15 seconds left. Culbertson then hit both ends of the one-and-one with 13 seconds left to shut down the Seminoles. “From our standpoint, it was a great team effort,” Pitt coach Roy Chipman said. “Everyone contributed.” Clyde Vaughan was the key contributor, scoring 25 points and grabbing nine rebounds as Pitt raised its record to 18-12. Martello led Florida State with 16 points and Gipson added 12 as the Seminoles close at 2011. In NIT action tonight, it will be Tennessee-Chattanooga, 246, at Tennessee, 20-13; Weber State, 23-8, at Southwestern Louisiana, 21-8; Nebraska, 1811, at Xavier, Ohio, 21-10; Marquette, 17-12, at Michigan, 19-10; Notre Dame, 18-11, vs. Boston College, 18-11, at Springfield, Mass.; and Santa Clara, 23-8, at Lamar, 26-4.

Ewing didn't play best seeded squad in the Mideast 69-67 and No. 6 Illinois ,25-4, defeated Villanova 64-56 on Sunday. And, in the Midwest, it was No. 19 Wake Forest 69, Kansas 59 and No. 4 DePaul 75, Illinois State 61 on Sunday. The day before, No. 5 Houston downed Louisiana Tech 77-69 and Memphis State, rated 16th, ousted No. 10 Purdue, the third-ranked team in the Midwest, 66-48. On Friday, it will be DePaul, 27-2, against 22-8 Wake Forest and 29-4 Houston vs. 26-6 Memphis State at St. Louis. “I didn’t think it was the big fella's best game,” Georgetown Coach John Thompson said of Ewing, the 7-foot junior center. “But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again he’s a primetime player.” “I just tried to use my

Lamar, the regular-season Southland Conference champion, had its 80-game home winning streak longest in the nation snapped by Louisiana Tech in the conference tournament final. Now, the Cardinals Mexico in their NIT opener seek to start a new streak against the Broncos, who beat Oregon 66-53 in the first round. Boston College will match its speed against Notre Dame’s bulk. “They want to run,” Irish Coach Digger Phelps said of the Eagles. “They want to pressure

quickness,” said Ewing. “I was a lot quicker than their big guy.” But the Hoyas almost played into SMU’s hands by holding the ball for much of the second half at Pullman, Wash. ‘‘That helped us,” said Mustangs Coach Dave Bliss. ‘‘We were tired at that time. I thought they had all the momentum in the second half, so we were delighted when they did that.” West Germany’s Detlef Schrempf scored 30 points for Washington, which is hoping to sneak through the regional and get to Seattle, site of the Final Four. On Saturday in Salt Lake City, Roosevelt Chapman, Dayton’s all-time leading scorer, had a career-high 41 points, including 10 on free throws. Oklahoma AllAmerican Wayman Tisdale scored 36 points and, as a sophomore, became Oklahoma’s all-time scoring leader. “I feel that I’m an AllAmerican also,” said Chapman. “In this game, I had a chance to show it.” Las Vegas advanced with a staunch man-to-man defense as the Rebels virtually abandoned their run-and-gun style. “When you get in the playoffs, people play against us that don’t want to run,” said UNLV Coach Jerry Tarkanian. “So the game becomes more of a halfcourt game. If it become a halfcourt game, you have to be more patient and I thouught we were.” Illinois used a 9-0 run early in the second half to take control against Villanova at Milwaukee. But Louisville needed Milt Wagner’s jumper from the baseline with five seconds remaining to knock out Tulsa, which got 28 points from Ricky Ross. A day earlier, Kentucky cruised past BYU in Birmingham and will hold a huge

edge in the next round, which is at 23,000-seat Rupp Arena. Kentucky took advantage of steals, turnovers and eight early points by Sam Bowie to jump out to an 11-point lead. Kenny Walker led the balanced Kentucky scoring with 19 points, Bowie had 16, Melvin Turpin 15, Jim Master 13 and reserve Winston Bennett 11. “I think they really want it, I think they’re really hungry,” Coach Joe B. Hall said of his team. The second game at Bir-
