Sports Monday, March 30, 1987 * 7 I I NCAA : to meet in New < By The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS ? Tonight, Hollywood's Hoosiers go for the Oscars, while Indiana's team reaches for the NCAA basketball championship. Syracuse is the last hurdle for coach Bob Knight's team after Indiana defeated Nevada-Las ^ Vegas 97-93 and the Orangemen " downed Providence 77-63 in Saturday's semifinals. "I think Syracuse is as good a team as there is in the country," Knight said. "Considering the regional they came out of and the way they've played, they're probably right where they ought to be." Syracuse was seeded second in the East and reached the Final 17 ^ ~ I- .. I ^ - ? oui uy ucaiing vjeorgia Southern, Western Kentucky, ^ Florida and the region's top seed, North Carolina. Indiana carried the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and beat Fairfield, Auburn, Duke and LSU on the road to New Orleans and the Final Four. Syracuse is basically a sevenman team depending heavily on their five starters ? guards Sherman Douglas and Greg Monroe, forwards Howard Triche and Derrick Coleman and center Rony Seikaly. Boeheim will substitute Stephen Thompson in the backcourt and Derk Brower W up front, but rarely goes deeper I than that. Douglas' defensive job on Billy Donovan was a kev element of the Providencc victory, and he could draw the assignment on Indiana AU-American Steve Alford, who scored 33 against UNLV. Monroe is Syracuse's 3-point specialist. He hit three of the ^ home run shots against Pro9 vidence and had to be watching when UNLV's Freddie Banks lit it up with 10 against Indiana. Triche is a good ball handler and, at 6-5, can help off the boards. Like the other Syracuse . OSMIROID REMBRANDT STRATHMORE I I IPfllNT A . ARTISTS SUPPLY CENTER | S 3131 Millw j SPRIN( O ^ ?

Both have played well throughout the tournament, asserting themselves and improving what had been a spotty rebounding game for Syracuse. Indiana's bench plays a more significant role for the Hoosiers behind starters Alford and Keith Smart at guard, Rick Calloway and Daryl Thomas at forward and Dean Garrett at center. The Hoosiers got important contributions from reserves Joe Hillman and Steve Eyl, who hit a combined 6-for-7 from the floor against UNLV. "Our bench has helped in touch situations all vear." Alford said. "They do an excellent job coming in like that." Smart and Garrett are junior college transfers, a departure for Knight who previously has depended on traditional fouryear recruits. Calloway will probably draw Triche with Thomas working underneath with Garrett against Coleman and Seikaly. Syracuse comes into the title game at 31-6 with five of their losses to Big East Conference rivals, three of them to Georgetown. Indiana is 29-4, including two victories over Big Ten rival Michigan, the only nonBig East team to beat Syracuse. The Orangemen will be playing for the national championship for the first time, although Boeheim came into the season with a .749 winning percentage, fifth highest among all active coaches. Reaching the Final Four improved that percentage to .758. Knight previously won NCAA titles with Indiana in 1976 and 1981 and has a career head coaching record of 467-169 for 22 years, 365-119 in 16 years at Indiana.
