This year's NCAA tournament should be exciting because so many teams are very good. There really is no dominant team like Arkansas was a year ago. Speaking of the Razorbacks, don't be too quick to count them out. Corliss Williamson is a scaiy thing to think out come mid-March. Although I know the competition will be outstanding this year and there will be upsets in the tourney, I don't expect any Cindrella stories to make the Sweet Eight. My picks for the Four Final are: UNC, UCONN, Arkansas and UCLA. ^ ** ~ v^JiSH It's time 1 FINE 830 HARDEN STR $3oo off on any dry cleaning ore $15.00 or more Good only with incoming 01 830 Harden Street 254-7 1 coupon per visit * expires %/2%A Bulldogs running 7-3 ITADEL AB R H RBl f vHnu /)K R. 4 ^ H I <5frnnn r?f ^1 A fV 1 atchman 3b 4 1 1 0 Szwejbka ss 5 1 1 0.. alttwanger cf 4 0 I 1: : 1 Stegall 2b 4 31'3 . 01 serman If 3 0 0 1 Mapes If 3 0 ,13 ., jghesdh 3 0 1 0 Urquhart If0lll0,,j\0J rtldh 1 0 0 0 Bakshlb 4 2 2 4 stare rf 2 1 1 0 Hucksdh 3 0 0 0 avage ph/rf 0 0 0 0 Dour 3b 2 0 2 0 illertb 11 4 .0. 1 1 Wilson c 3 OMOlPOl rosbyc 3 0 0 0 Dezenzp rf 4 Q 1 ,0 oody ph llli1 . .0 0lllo Haynie p llO. ?
