Maybe not — they may be too good. That's the opinion of one eminent authority. Joe Lapchick of St.’ John's, the only coach to win more NTT titles • three) than Bradley's Chuck Orsborn (two). I The notion has a lot of backers alter the Braves' stunning 88-72 final win over Providence Satur-1 day. "With Oscar Robertson gone from Cincinnati. Bradley may be ; ready to take over domination of j the Missouri Valley Conference," Lapchick points out. "As league champion, they would be going to! the NCAA tourney rather than the NIT.” Orsborn, delighted with the rally his Braves staged to snatch the victory from Providence after trailing, 62 - 50, with 10 minutes remaining, isn’t making any claims for next year, however, . Lose Two Starters “For one thing,” Orsborn said, “we lost starters Mike Owens and ] Dan Smith, so I'll have two spots , to plug myself- For another, Cin--clnnati still has Bob Weisenhahn 1 and Paul Hogue, who is going to be a real star, and they have a fellow on the freshmen named Tom Thacker who has a lot of, Robertson-type talent ” But Orsborn admits his club will be a "contender” and that could be a huge understatement with such returnees as Mack Herndon, who led scoring in the finale with 26 points; Chet (orange juice) Walker, the team’s ace scorer who was ill in the semifinals and final; and Al Saunders, whose clutch throws sank Providence. Only Saunders will be a senior.
