Ñ■A GAME IN THE 80s. IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE 60s OR AROUND 60 AND THEY'RE HOLDING THEIR OWN. Derrek>> BOTH TEAMS DOING A GOOD JOB OF STAYING CLOSE ENOUGH SO THEY HAVE A CHANCE AT THE END BUT CLEMSON HAS HAD MISSED OPPORTUNITIES, 20 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS IN THE GAME AND ONLY 8 POINTS OFF THOSE REBOUNDS. Ted>> A PASS OFF THE HANDS OF ■■ CLEMSON BY 1. 6 MINUTES REMAINING. (Whistle) Ted>> CODE IN THE LANE, GOT A FOUL AND GETS THE DROP! Derrek>> FROM OUR ANGLE, IT LOOKED LIKE COLEY HAD HIS HAND ON TOP OF THE BALL WITH THE SLAP, BUT THE OFFICIALS ARE CALLING A FOUL. IT WAS A NICE DRIVE, AS CODE GOES TO THE MIDDLE. LOOK AT THE HAND ON THE HIP, BUT THE SLAP -- AGAIN, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON TOP OF THE BALL, BUT GIVE MERL CODE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR TAKING THAT BIG SHOT IN THE MIDDLE WITH JUST A LITTLE HEAD FAKE TO GET THE CLEARANCE. Ted>> SHEA SEALS BACK IN AS ERIC COLEY HAS FOULED OUT FOR TULSA. IN THE 2nd HALF, THE CLEMSON OFFENSE HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THEIR GUARDS. MCINTYRE HAS SCORED 8 AND CODE 10 IN THE 2nd HALF. Derrek>> GO WITH THE HOT HAND. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO HAS IT, OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. IT HAPPENS TO BE ON THE PERIMETER FOR THE TIGERS RIGHT NOW. Ted>> WIDEMAN, OF CLEMSON, PICKS UP A FOUL. HIS 4th. THE TEAM'S 6th. FRESHMAN ERIC COLEY, THE FIRST PLAYER TO FOUL OUT TODAY -- ONE WOULD SUSPECT NOT THE LAST. Derrek>> NOT WITH A GAME LIKE THIS. COLEY IS A TERRIFIC DEFENDER. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO MISS -- HIS PRESENCE ON THE DEFENSIVE END. Ted>> SHEA SEALS ON THE FLOOR NOW, AND ONE WOULD EXPECT HE'S OUT THERE FOR THE DURATION. Derrek>> AS LONG AS HE CAN, AND CERTAINLY START LOOKING FOR SOME OFFENSE. (Whistle) Ted>> AND THAT ONE DOESN'T GO, BUT A FOUL CALLED ON CLEMSON. A LITTLE BIT OF HESITATION ON THE CALL. I WAS UNSURE WHETHER GENDRON WAS GOING TO BE CALLED FOR PUSHING OFF WITH HIS LEFT ARM. Derrek>> BOTH COACHES WERE HOLDING THEIR BREATH WAITING TO SEE WHICH WAY THE CALL WAS GOING TO GO. LOOK AT GENDRON'S LEFT HAND. TO ME THAT'S AN OBVIOUS PUSH-OFF BUT THEY CALL IT THE ■■ >> Jon: A LITTLE MISMATCH THERE. SMITH IS 6'4" GUARDED BY WHEAT. >> Mike: DENNY CRUM REALLY DIRECTING TRAFFIC OVER THERE FROM THE SIDELINE. HERE'S WHEAT. >> Jon: STRICT LAY POSSESSION GAME NOW. >> Mike: WHAT CAN YOU GET ON THE OFFENSIVE END. IN AND OUT, REBOUND RIPPED OFF BY SHIELDS. OBER THE HEAD TO LONG. CROSSCOURT, SMITH. >> Jon: LOUISVILLE QUICKLY BACK, THOUGH, DEFENSIVELY. [ WHISTLE ] NEW MEXICO LOOKED TO HAVE A BREAK EARLY ON, BUT NOTHING GOOD. >> Mike: THE FOUL IS GOING TO BE ON ALEX SANDERS IN THE PAINT. >> Jon: GOOD FREE-THROW SHOOTER. NEARLY 70%, AS HE GOES TO THE LINE. >> Mike: A 20-SECOND TIME-OUT IS TAKEN BIDENY CRUM WITH 2 MINUTES AND 49 SECONDS TO GO IN THE GAME AND HIS CARDINALS UP BY FOUR. >> Jon: DENNY CRUM, INTO THIS BALL GAME. >> Mike: GETTING THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO ALEX SANDERS. >> Jon: TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO GET THE MESSAGE. HERE I TALKED ABOUT A MISMATCH IN SIZE AND REACH-IN ABILITY. THE TIP-IN BY SMITH. HERE'S THE REACTION ON THE SIDELINE. KENNY THOMAS CAN ONLY SIT AND HOPE. DAVE BLISS LIKES THAT. THOMAS WITH A THUMP OF THE FIST. >> Mike: THOMAS HOPING THAT HE HAS AT LEAST ANOTHER GAME LEFT IN THE SEASON. AND WE'VE GOT SOME GAMES LEFT THIS AFTERNOON. >> Jon: THE LONGHORNS, THE NEXT GAME, WILL FEEL THEY'RE REALLY REALLY ON THE ROAD. >> Mike: SANTIAGO, 1 OF 2. WE ARE UNDER THREE. >> Jon: LAST TIME DOWN LOUISVILLE GOT THE SHOT THEY WANTED. GIBSON DENIED. NOT A GOOD PASS BY SANDERS. CAN'T TAKE THAT CHANCE WITH 2 1/2 MINUTES LEFT. ONLY THROW IT IF IT IS REALLY WIDE OPEN. >> Mike: ALVIN SIMS STILL OVER THERE ON THE LOUISVILLE BENCH. JIN FLYNN HAS DONE A NICE JOB AND OFFENSIVELY HAS CAUSED THINGS TO HAPPEN. >> Man: SMITH, SHUT OFF BY THE FRESHMAN JOHNSON. SMITH OFF THE DRIBBLE. LOST IT MOMENTARILY, THE IT ALIVE. >> Jon: THE GUARDS CAN STAY ON TOP. >> Mike: SHIELDS, A LITTLE SCREEN FOR SMITH. >> Jon: GOOD JOB BY DANTZLER, YEAH. >> Mike: SMITH PULLS UP. FRONT RIMS IT. GETS HIS OWN MISS. THE BUMP. SHORT. REBOUND, OUT OF BOUNDS. [ WHISTLE ] LAST TOUCHED BY SANTIAGO. >> Jon: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN THE SWITCHOUT ON SMITH. MISSES IT. DANTZLER FORGETS TO BLOCK OUT. SMITH HAD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY BUT MISSED AGAIN. >> Mike: SANDERS TO THE BENCH, BEAU ZACH SMITH ON THE FLOOR. >> Jon: MAN-TO-MAN PRESSURE BY NEW MEXICO. EASILY HANDLED BY WHEAT. >> Mike: WE ARE UNDER TWO MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE GAME. LOUISVILLE'S GOT THE BALL AND A THREE-POINT LEAD. A SPOT IN THE SWEET 16 AT STAKE. JOHNSON NEARLY TRAVELED ON THE CATCH. HERE'S WHEAT. THEY GET IT TO DANTZLER. DANTZLER, DIPPING THE SHOULDER OUT TO SMITH. DEEP TO WHEAT. EIGHT ON THE SHOT CLOCK. WHEAT -- HAS TO GIVE IT UP. JOHNSON, OFF THE SIDE OF THE GLASS. SHIELDS TO -- >> Jon: SMITH, HE GOES LONG. [ WHISTLE ] TAKES IT HIMSELF. >> Mike: HE'LL GET TO THE LINE. >> Jon: GREAT PLAY, DEFENSIVE PLAY. SMART PLAY BY DeJUAN WHEAT. THEY HAVE AN EASY DUNK. DeJUAN WHEAT MAKES THE GRAB RIGHT HERE. SMITH'S TEAMMATE IS NOKES HIM FOR THE EASY LAYUP, IF HE GIVES IT TO HIM EARLIER. >> Mike: THIRD PERSONAL FOUL FOR DeJUAN WHEAT. ALVIN SIMS IS GOING TO COME BACK IN. CHARLES SMITH WITH 14 POINTS AT THE FREE-THROW LINE. MAKES THE FIRST. 1 MINUTE, 19 SECONDS TO GO, AND A TWO-POINT GAME HERE IN PITTSBURGH. SMITH MAKES THEM BOTH. HE'S GOT 16. AND WE'VE GOT A TIME-OUT CALLED ON THE LOBOS OF NEW MEXICO. DON'T GO AWAY. IT'S A ONE-POINT GAME. ■■■■■■çpk >> RICK BARNES TOLD US HE WAS GOING TO SEND SEVERAL PLAYERS AT SHEA SEALS. WE'RE SEEING GREG BUCKNER MIRRORING SEALS ALL OVER THE COURT MAKING HIM WORK TO TRY TO GET OPEN. I THINK THEY'VE COME OUT WITH A TERRIFIC GAME PLAN, BUT EXECUTION IS THE KEY TO MAKING IT WORK. Ted>> 1 POINT IN THE GAME FOR SHEA SEALS. TULSA WITH THE BALL, DOWN 3. A LOT OF SCORING IN THIS HALF BY THE GUARDS. THOMPSON AND GENDRON FOR TULSA. CODE AND MCINTYRE FOR CLEMSON. SHOT CLOCK DOWN. A MISS BY ROD THOMPSON. A REBOUND, GREG BUCKNER. Derrek>> CLEMSON IS DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB HERE IN THE 2nd HALF OF BOXING OUT TULSA NOT LET BEING LETTING THEM GET MULTIPLE SHOT OPPORTUNITIES. Ted>> BUCKNER. WILL HE TRY TO TAKE SEALS IN? Derrek>> NOT A LOT OF PATIENCE BEING SHOWN BY THE TIGERS. Ted>> A STEAL! RUFF KNOCKED THE BALL AWAY. Derrek>> GREAT HANDS! Ted>> TULSA WITH THE BALL DOWN 3. Derrek>> POSSESSIONS ARE GOING TO BE A PREMIUM. LET'S SEE IF THE GOLDEN HURRICANE CAN FIND IT INSIDE! Ted>> ROD THOMPSON TO MICHAEL RUFFIN! AND NOW IT'S A ONE-POINT GAME. Derrek>> THIS IS A GREAT DEFENSIVE EFFORT BY MICHAEL RUFFIN. HE CLOSES OUT -- NOT ONLY DOES HE KNOCK THE BALL AWAY BUT HE COMES UP WITH THE POSSESSION; THAT'S HUGE. AND ALSO WAS ON THE RECEIVING END OF A GREAT PASS TO ADD TO THIS BALL GAME. ONLY A ONE-POINT GAME WITH 2:30 TO GO. Ted>> NOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS WE HAVE A CLOCK MALFUNCTION. THE GAME CLOCK AT ONE END BY ONE OF THE BASKE■■■■■■ >> Jon: NEW MEXICO DEFENSIVELY HAS TAKEN AWAY A LOT OF OPTIONS FOR LOUISVILLE. THE CLOCK HAS ONE DOWN ON THEM. THEY'VE FORCED UP SOME BAD LOOKS. >> Man: GETS IT RIGHT BACK. LOOKING TO PUT THE BALL IN THE HANDS OF DeJUAN WHEAT, AND HE DOES. >> Jon: MAKE SOMEONE ELSE HANDLE THE BASKETBALL BESIDES DeJUAN WHEAT. >> Mike: LOUISVILLE CAN TAKE TUNNELEDARY MINUTE. >> Jon: GREAT BLOCK, THE FOLLOW IS THERE. SANDERS, THE BASKET. >> Mike: TERRIFIC PLAY BIDENY CRUM OUT OF THE TIME-OUT. >> Jon: IT IS STILL A ONE-POSSESSION GAME, THOUGH, AND THE LOBOS HAVE THE BALL DOWN THREE. LONG -- SMITH WANTED IT SOONER IN THE CORNER. GIBSON, OVER THE TOP TO SANTIAGO GETS THE BUMP, AND HE GETS THE BUCKET. >> Mike: WHAT A HOOP. >> Jon: I THOUGHT HE WOULD GET A FOUL, TOO. 64-63. THREE-SECOND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHOT CLOCK AND THE GAME CLOCK. >> Mike: LOUISVILLE WITH THEIR FREE THROW SHOOTERS HANDLING THE BALL. [ WHISTLE ] AND A TIME-OUT A CALLED BY DeJUAN WHEAT. OUT THERE IN THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE AT HALF-COURT THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN. <i>ENTERPRISE ?
HI, I'M AT THE REPAIR SHOP.</i> Ted>> WELL, IN KANSAS CITY, A TERRIFIC BATTLE BETWEEN TULSA AND CLEMSON. IT HAS BEEN BRUTALLY PHYSICAL THROUGHOUT. THE GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED AT CLEMSON'S PACE. AND TERRELL MCINTYRE PUTS IT DOWN TO PUT THE TIGERS BACK IN FRONT. Derrek>> THAT WAS A LOT OF CONFIDENCE BY MCINTYRE TO GO IN WITH A SPIN MOVE, GOT IN THE AIR AND USED HIS ATHLETICISM -- ONLY 5-9, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND A BIG SHOT. Ted>> SHEA SEALS FOR TULSA. HE HAS SCORED ONLY 1 POINT TODAY. SEALS BEING PLAYED BY BUCKNER. AN AIR BALL FOR 3, AND HERE COMES CLEMSON. Derrek>> HE'S STILL FORCING THE ISSUE TRYING TO TAKE THE BIG SHOT, BUT HE CANNOT FIND IT BECAUSE CLEMSON CONTINUES TO HAVE A DEFENDER IN HIS FACE. (Whistle) Ted>> CLEMSON WILL TAKE A 20-SECOND TIME OUT WITH 1:08 REMAINING. A 2-POINT LEAD. Derrek>> THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A VIOLATION. CLEMSON HAD THE BALL IN THE BACK COURT WITH THE 35-SECOND SHOT CLOCK. WE'RE LOOKING AT 25. THE BALL WAS STILL IN THE BACK COURT. Ted>> THERE HAS BEEN Ted>> THE LARGEST LEAD IN THE BALL GAME 7 POINTS WHICH TULSA HAD IN THE 1st HALF. FOR THE MOST PART THEY'VE HAD TO DO IT WITHOUT SHEA SEALS, PLAGUED BY FOULS, VERY MUCH A NON-FACTOR IN THIS GAME. ONE POINT. Derrek>> BUT OTHER PLAYERS FOR THE GOLDEN HURRICANE HAVE STEPPED IT UP. Ted>> HERE IS THE SPOT, DERREK, WHERE CLEMSON SCORES TWO POSSESSIONS, THE WAY THIS GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED, IS HUGE. Derrek>> ABSOLUTELY. TULSA HAS TO, NOT ONLY DEFEND, BUT THEY HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE REBOUND. Ted>> THERE IS A FOUL. THAT'S ONE OF THE FEW TIMES TODAY WE'VE SEEN TULSA USE THEIR PATENTED TRAP OF THE BALL. IT WOUND UP BEING A FOUL THAT WILL PUT ITURBE OF CLEMSON ■■ >> Mike: LOUISVILLE BY ONE. I WANT TO LOOK AT DeJUAN WHEAT, AS HE TURN AS CORNER. RECEIVES A SCREEN BY SANDERS. A GREAT BLOCK. SANDERS ON THE FOLLOW-UP CONTINUED TO GO TO THE BASKET. THE REACTION, IT IS MARCH MADNESS! >> Jon: ON THE OTHER END, THEY'RE DOWN THREE, THEY GO INSIDE TO SANTIAGO, MAYBE NOT THE OPTION LOUISVILLE WAS THINKING ABOUT. GOOD BUCKET, GOT BUMPED, ALMOST DREW ANOTHER FOUL. >> Mike: JOHNSON GETS IT INTO WHEAT'S HANDS. TIPPED OUT TO SIMS. MAY HAVE TO GIVE THE FOUL HIT. [ WHISTLE ]■■ 16 SECONDS TO■■■■ TO■■■■ COULDN'T GET RID OF IT. IT WAS CALLED ON THE HALF-COURT LINE. NOWHERE TO GO. >> Mike: WE'VE GOT A TIME-OUT. 16 ON THE CLOCK. NEW MEXICO WILL HAVE IT WHEN WE GET BACK. Ted>> BACK IN KANSAS CITY, THAT BECAME A FULL TIME OUT TAKEN BY TULSA, AND NOW IKER ITURBE, A SOPHOMORE FROM THE BASQUE REGION OF SPAIN. TH■■ >> Mike: SMITH WILL INBOUND, DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US. GETS IT TO GIBSON. WHEAT, DEFENSEIVE. >> Jon: GOOD OFF THE DRIBBLE IN PENETRATION. >> Mike: GET IT IN THE HANDS OF SMITH. BACK OUT. GIBSON, GIBSON, A FLOATER. NO. REBOUND FLYNN! TIME'S GOING TO RUN OUT. IT DOES! LOUISVILLE WINS. >> Jon: WHAT A DEFENSIVE STOP BY THE CARDINALS! >> Mike: DENNY KRUCHL THOUGHT THERE WAS TIME LEFT ON THE CLOCK. WANTED HIS PLAYERS ON THE FLOOR. BUT IT'S OVER NOW. HE CAN CELEBRATE. >> Jon: A HEARTBREAKING DAY FOR DAVE BLISS AND THE LOBOS. >> Mike: DENNY CRUM, 13-5 IN THE SECOND GAME OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT WILL TAU TAKE HIS CLUB TO THE SWEET 16. >> Jon: SECOND HALF EXPLOSION BY LOUISVILLE OUT OF THE LOCKER ■■■■ 3q■■ HELD ON. THEY COULDN'T SCORE MUCH IN THE LAST SECONDS. ONLY TWO POINTS SINCE THOMAS FOULED OUT. VERY UNSELFISH BALL CLUB. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS CLUB ADVANCES. >> Mike: AND LOUISVILLE IS ON THEIR WAY TO SYRACUSE! 17 SWEET 16 APPEARANCES FOR THE LOUISVILLE CARDINALS. LET'S TAKE IT BACK TO PAT O'BRIEN IN NEW YORK. >> Pat: TWO GAMES COMPLETED. LET'S GO RIGHT TO KANSAS CITY NOW. KEMPER ARENA WILL CLEMSON LEADS TULSA 58-55. A PHYSICAL GAME. LET'S GO COURTSIDE AND TED ROBINSON AND DERREK DICKEY. >> Ted: BALL KNOCKED AWAY, SAVED BY TULSA. SEALS, STRIP GOING UP. AND FINALLY A WHISTLE AND A FOUL ON CLEMSON. >> Derrek: DOWN UNDERNEATH THE BASKET. HE HAD A CHANCE TO GO IN FOR A LAY JUST. INSTEAD STEPS BEHIND THE THREE-POINT LINE. AS THE SHOT GOES UP, LOOK AT THIS. HE GETS HIT BY HIS OWN PLAYER. SHEA SEALS MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN HIM WITH A RIGHT ELBOW. LOOK AT MALDONADO, NUMBER 50, UNDER THE BASKET. HE'LL CATCH A LEFT HAND BY HIS TEAMMATE. 49.6 SECONDS REMAINING. WHITEMAN OF CLEMSON HAS JUST FOULED OUT OF THE BALL GAME AFTER AN 11 REBOUND PERFORMANCE. EVENTUALLY THEY'LL BE AT THE FOUL LINE. WE HAVE, STILL, MALDONADO OF TULSA DOWN. HE'S DOWN BEYOND THE BASELINE. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF THIS GAME, THIS REALLY IS THE STORY. IT HAS BEEN AN UNBELIEVABLY PHYSICAL BATTLE, WITH SEVERAL PLAYERS GETTING THE WORST OF IT TODAY. >> Derrek: LOOK UNDERNEATH. WATCH SHEA SEALS AS HE GETS THE BALL STRIPPED OUT OF HIS HANDS. HIS LEFT HAND CATCHES MALDONADO, IT APPEARS SOMEWHERE IN THE EYE AREA. >> Ted: MALDONADO HAD TO LEAVE THE GAME EARLIER AFTER GETTING HIT IN THE CHEST. THERE WERE STITCHES TO A TEAMMATE IN THE FIRST HALF. THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE GAME IN KANSAS CITY. THE WINNER GOES TO SAN ANTONIO NEXT WEEK. >> Derrek: A HUGE WIN BY IOWA STATE YESTERDAY UPSETTING CINCINNATI. >> Ted: UCLA HAS PLAYED GREAT BASKETBALL IN THE LAST MONTH. >> Derrek: THEY HAVE. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR THEIR DEFENSE. DEFENSIVELY THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. >> Ted: HERE'S WHERE TULSA HAS BEEN HURT TODAY. THEY ARE 13 FOR 27 AT THE LINE. >> Derrek: WOW! THAT'S LESS THAN 50%. IF THEY HAD MADE FREE THROWS, THEY COULD HAVE HAD CONTROL OF THIS GAME. >> Ted: AND ROUGHEN MISSES BOTH. CLEMSON IN COMMAND. McINTYRE, AND CHRISTIE, A HELD BALL, ARROW TO CLEMSON. THAT WAS NOT A GOOD PLAY BY TERREL McINTYRE. >> Derrek: WHY WOULD YOU RISK THAT? YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE A SHOT. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GET THE BALL IN YOUR FRONT COURT. >> Ted: WELL, McINTYRE MADE UP FOR THE MISTAKE, GETTING POSSESSION BACK. NOW BUCKNER IS FOULED. 26 SECONDS TO PLAY. BARNES IMMEDIATELY CALLS McINTYRE OVER TO THE BENCH TO ASK ABOUT THAT LOB. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT? >> Derrek: GUYS, WE DON'T HAVE TO SCORE. ALL WE NEED TO DO IS RUN TIME OFF THE CLOCK OF THE THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO HAVE. WE NEED THE WIN. WE DON'T NEED MORE POINTS OR FANCY PLAYS IN THIS BALL GAME. >> Ted: WELL, A THIRD PLAYER HAS FOULED OUT OF THE GAME NOW. IT IS TULSA'S ZAC BENNETT. HAROLD JAMISON COMING BACK IN FOR CLEMSON. A FRESHMAN, NINE POINTS TODAY. NICE LIFT OFF THE TULSA BENCH. >> Derrek: GREG BUCKNER, SECOND TEAM ALL-ACC THIS YEAR. HE HAD 22 POINTS AND 9 REBOUNDS. >> Ted: THERE'S A BIG STORY. CLEMSON HAS BEEN THE TEAM THAT AS OF LATE HAD BEEN STRUGGLING TERRIBLY AT THE LINE. BUT TODAY, TULSA, A LOT OF POINTS THERE. >> Derrek: ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT GUYS, TEAMS THAT ARE MONEY PLAYERS. AND CLEMSON HAS STEPPED UP BIG. EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SHOOT A GOOD FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE TODAY THEY WERE THE AGGRESSIVER HE INITIATED THE ACTION, GOT TO THE FREE-THROW LINE AND MADE ENOUGH TO GET CONTROL OF THIS GAME. >> Ted: NOW A SIX DOCTOR POINT LEAD. SHEA SEALS BRINGING IT UP, SCORED ONLY ONE POINT TODAY. [ WHISTLE ] A FOUR-POINT LEAD. STILL AL TWO-POSSESSION WITH A TULSA TIME-OUT. 19 SECONDS REMAINING. IT IS CLEMSON BY IN OUR KANSAS CITY. Ted>> CLEMSON LEADING BY 4 WITH 19 SECONDS TO PLAY IN KANSAS CITY. Ted>> CLEMSON TO INBOUND THE BALL. LEADING BY 4. ITURBE. GETS IT IN. MCINTYRE IS FOULED RIGHT AWAY, AND THAT WILL BE THE 5th FOUL AGAINST JONNIE GENRON. Derrek>> IT'S ALREADY A TWO-POSSESSION GAME, AS FAR AS THE GOLDEN HURRICANE ARE CONCERNED, AND CLEMSON GETS A CHANCE TO EXTEND THIS LEAD WITH 2 MORE FREETHROW ATTEMPTS, BUT I REALLY WANT TO CREDIT RICK BARNES AND HIS STAFF; THEY'VE DONE A TERRIFIC JOB. WE SAW THEM IN THE 1st ROUND SHUT DOWN DEVON DAVIS FROM MIAMI UNIVERSITY -- NOT ALLOW HIM TO BECOME A FACTOR IN THE GAME -- AND TODAY, SHEA SEALS, THEY ALLOWED HIM ONLY 3 POINTS IN THIS GAME, JUST RECEIVING HIS FIRST FIELD GOAL A FEW SECONDS AGO. Ted>> A NICE GAME FOR GENDRON, A SOPHOMORE. JOHN CORNWELL GETTING HIS INSTRUCTIONS AS HE WILL COME IN, FROM STEVE ROBINSON. REALLY, YOU LOOK AT ONE TEAM BEING ABLE TO EXERT ITS WILL ON ANOTHER TEAM, DERREK, CLEMSON'S OPPONENTS ONLY SCORE 60 POINTS A GAME, TULSA AVERAGES CLOSER TO BETWEEN 80 AND 90, AND THE GAME IS GOING TO END UP BEING A CLEMSON SCORE. Derrek>> AND YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER, TED, THAT CLEMSON WANTED TO KEEP THE SCORE LOW. THEY WANTED TO MAINTAIN POSSESSIONS, TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE. THE GAME WAS UGLY, EARLY, IN TERMS OF BOTH TEAMS MISSING A LOT OF SHOTS, BUT RICK BARNES'S PHILOSOPHY WAS, "GUYS, BE PATIENT, GET TO THE FREETHROW LINE. WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE FOULED. WE JUST HAVE TO CONCENTRATE AND MAKE THE MAJORITY." Ted>> THE TIGERS HAVING A GREAT DAY AT THE FOUL LINE. ADRIAN CRAWFORD. A TIP IN FOR TULSA. Ted>> A TIME OUT TAKEN BY THE GOLDEN HURRICANE. ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS A 20 SO THAT'S WHAT THIS WILL BE. A 4-POINT GAME. Derrek>> SHEA SEALS ABLE TO SNEAK IN AND GET ANOTHER FIELD GOAL TO HIS CREDIT, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS A LITTLE BIT TOO LATE, BUT HE'S ONLY GETTING IT AS A RESULT OF THE HELTER-SKELTER, AND FOE ONE GUARDING HIM -- AND NO ONE GUARDING HIM NOSE ON NOSE. Ted>> SOMETHING TO LOOK AT, DERREK, IF INDEED THIS HAPPENS NOW, AS CLEMSON IN GOOD SHAPE HERE, IF IT IS, INDEED, CLEMSON AND MINNESOTA, IN SAN ANTONIO, THEY PLAYED IN PUERTO RICO IN A TOURNAMENT BACK IN NOVEMBER -- PLAYED A VERY COMPETITIVE GAME. MINNESOTA WON 75-65. Derrek>> THAT WAS A NEUTRAL COURT -- NEITHER TEAM HAD A HOME-COURT ADVANTAGE. Ted>> ADRIAN CRAWFORD FOULING MERL CODE OF CLEMSON. Derrek>> MINNESOTA HAS TO GET BY A VERY TENACIOUS MATCH-UP ZONE DEFENSE BY JOHN CHANEY. Ted Robinson>> IF TEMPLE COULD PULL OFF THE UPSET TODAY, CLEMSON IS GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE INSIDER KNOWLEDGE IN A POTENTIAL TEMPLE GAME -- JOHNNY MILLERARVINGS TWO >> JOHNNY MILLER, AFTER PLAYING FOR JOHN CHANEY AT TEMPLE TRANSFERRED AND IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP FIGURE THAT MATCH-UP ZONE OUT. Derrek>> YOU AND I SAW HIM TWO YEARS AGO AS A PLAYER. HE IS A TERRIFIC SCORER AND AN EXCELLENT OUTSIDE SHOOTER. Ted>> ADRIAN CRAWFORD MISSING AND A FOUL OVER THE BACK ON RUFFIN. NOW THEY CELEBRATE ON THE CLEMSON BENCH. RICK BARNES CAME TO KANSAS CITY NEVER HAVING WON A GAME IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. HE WILL LEAVE WITH 2. AND CLEMSON IS GOING TO GAS UP THEIR PLANE HERE AND GO RIGHT TO SAN ANTONIO. Derrek>> RICK BARNES'S FIRST "SWEET 16" APPEARANCE AND HE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS TEAM. ONLY TWO SENIORS ON THIS BALL CLUB. THEY RETURNED ALL 5 STARTERS FROM LAST YEAR AND THAT'S NOT EVEN COUNTING MERL CODE, WHO WAS UNABLE TO PLAY IN LAST SEASON'S POSTSEASON. Ted Robinson>> CLEMSON MADE THE "SWEET 16" IN 1990, THE LAST TIME THAT HAPPENED. NOW THE TULSA SIDE GIVING A GREAT OVATION TO SHEA SEALS, WHO LEAVES THE COURT FOR THE LAST TIME. IN A TULSA UNIFORM. A VERY DIFFICULT DAY TODAY. JUST 3 POINTS. HAMPERED BY FOULS EARLY. Derrek Dickey>> HAS A CHANCE TO CONTINUE HIS PLAY. TULSA'S ALL-TIME LEADING SCORER. (Captioned by Real-Time Captioning, Van Nuys, CA) Ted>> THE CLEMSON TIGERS THE 3rd TEAM TO ADVANCE OUT OF THE MIDREST REGION, TERRELL MCINTYRE ENDING UP WITH 16 POINTS, AND CLEMSON WINS IT. >> CLEMSON ADVANCES IN KANSAS CITY. NOW LET'S GO BACK TO NEW YORK AND PAT O'BRIEN. Pat>> ALL RIGHT, TED, CLEMSON'S FIRST "SWEET 16" TRIP IN 7 YEARS. THE CELEBRATING WILL COMMENCE. Pat>> CLARK, THIS HAS BEEN A BACK AND FORTH GAME ALL DAY LONG. Clark>> THESE TEAMS MATCH UP EVENLY. LIKE THEY'RE DOING ON THE PERIMETER. TENNESSEE CHATTANOOGA HAS JOHNNY TAYLOR WHO COULD BE A MIDLEVEL 1st ROUND PICK. HAS WILLIE YOUNG IN FOUL TROUBLE. KIWANE GARRIS HAS TO STEP UP BIG FOR ILLINOIS. Pat>> IT'S THE ONLY ACTIVE GAME RIGHT NOW. 5:18 IN THE HALF. >> TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NO OTHER SOUTHERN CONFERENCE SCHOOL HAS EVER DONE, AND THAT IS MAKE IT TO THE ROUND OF 16 IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. ILLINOIS OUT OF THE BIG 10. (Whistle) >> TURNS IT OVER. TENNESSEE CHATTANOOGA ONLY ABLE TO FORCE 7 TURNOVERS TODAY, BUT THEY HAVE MANAGED TO GET THE ILLINOIS FRONT LINE FOUL DIFFICULTY. GANDY AND GEE BOTH ON THE FLOOR FOR ILLINOIS PLAYING WITH 4 FOULS AND JOHNSON LEAVES THE GAME, AND KEVIN TURNER SITS DOWN. George>> POOR DEFENSIVE RECOGNITION BY MIKE HELMAN. U. T. CHATTANOOGA WAS IN A BOX AND ONE THEN, AND HELMAN DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND GET HIS TEEP TEAM IN THE APPROPRIATE OFFENSE. >> THE ILLINI HAVE GONE 2 OF 13 AND 3 MINUTES WITHOUT SCORING. TENNESSEE CHATTANOOGA BY ONE. PICK AND ROLL. DEFENDED WELL BY ILLINOIS. TAYLOR. CROSS OVER. 10 IN THE GAME FOR JOHNNY TAYLOR. SENIOR STAR FROM CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, NOT RECRUITED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, WENT TO JUNIOR COLLEGE, GREW 4 INCHES IN ONE YEAR AND HAS ELEVATED HIS LEVEL OF PLAY. YOUNG CREATING HAVOC FOR GARRIS. KIWANE ABLE TO RECOVER. George>> ONCE AGAIN, ILLINOIS HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THAT U.T. CHATTANOOGA IS IN A BOX AND ONE DEFENSE. >> MIMS HAS A DOZEN REBOUNDS TODAY. George>> IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THE ILLINOIS PLAYERS TO RECOGNIZE WHAT DEFENSE U.T. CHATTANOOGA IS IN. THEY'RE PLAYING MAN TO MAN ON KIWANE GARRIS AND A 4-MAN MATCH-UP ZONE. >> YOUNG GETS PUSHED NEAR THE END LINE. GARRIS HAS 4. YOUNG WITH 4, GARRIS WITH 4, THAT'S A STAND-OFF ALONG THE PERIMETER. ON THE LOW POST, BOTH GEE AND GANDY PLAYING WITH 4 FOULS. 3:35 REMAINING. PROVIDENCE ALREADY A WINNER TODAY. OVER DUKE. YOUNG THE SENIOR FROM NORFOLK. GREW UP AND PRACTICED AGAINST THE LIKES OF ALLEN IVERSON -- THE BIGGEST OF NAMES, YOUNG MAKING A NAME. Gary>> IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT THE LOWEST SEED EVER TO MAKE IT TO THE FINAL 4, THE L.S.U. TIGERS IN 1986, IN DALLAS. George>> FOR OUR VIEWERS, LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT I MEAN AND WHAT BOX-AND-ONE DEFENSE. ONE DEFENDER FOR TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA PLAYS KIWANE GARRIS MAN-TO-MAN, AND THE 4 REMAINING PLAYERS PLAY A 4-MAN ZONE. TURNER FOR THREE. TAYLOR RUNS IT DOWN. THIS IS THE LARGEST LEAD FOR TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA, EQUALING THAT MARK AT 8-3 VERY EARLY IN THE GAME. A HOOP HERE WOULD BE VERY BIG! A STEAL BY TURNER. JOHNNY TAYLOR BECAME A LITTLE CARELESS WITH THE BASKETBALL. GOOD OFFENSIVE PLAYERS ALWAYS KEEP THEIR BODY BETWEEN THE BASKETBALL AND THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER. THAT TIME, JOHNNY TAYLOR EXPOSED THE BASKETBALL. 2-1-2 ZONE. MAC MCCARTHY EARNING HIS STRIPES TODAY WITH THE CHANGING DEFENSES. YOUNG'S SPECIALTY, TO THE OPEN MAN. THEY MAY BE SINGING "PARDON ME, BOYS, IS THAT THE TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA CHEW -- CHOO-CHOO HEADED TO THE SWEET 16. ILLINOIS NOT SCORING A FIELD GOAL IN THE LAST 7 AND A HALF MINUTES. THALE HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING RIGHT HERE. PRESSURE DEFENSE WHEN APPLIED CORRECTLY CAN FORCE THE BALL HANDLER INTO POOR BODY POSITION. HERE WE WATCH KIWANE GARRIS AS HE LOSES BALANCE, AND IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN, A GOOD OFFENSIVE POSITION. THE SIZE OF TAYLOR REALLY THE DIFFERENCE THERE. MAC MCCARTHY TOLD US HE WOULD FLOAT SOME BIGGER PEOPLE ON KIWANE. THAT TIME IT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT TURNOVER. >> NOT ONLY HAS THE SIZE BECOME A FACTOR IN DEFENDING KIWANE GARRIS, BUT THE ROTATION OF PLAYERS IS STARTING TO WEAR HIM DOWN. GANDY TRYING TO KEEP IT ALIVE, LOOSE BALL. TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA OUT TO GIVE THEIR COACH A WIN THAT WOULD TIE HIM, BECOMING THE WINNINGEST COACH IN THE HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE, AND WOULD MARK A PLACE IN HISTORY FOR THE LEAGUE ITSELF, AS BEING THE FIRST-EVER ENTRY INTO THE SWEET 16 BY A SOUTHERN CONFERENCE TEAM. [Whistle] Jim>> OVER THE BACK AS HE TRIED TO KEEP IT ALIVE, AND THAT'S HIS FIFTH. WILLIE YOUNG FOULS OUT WITH 1:17 REMAINING. YOU SEE THE TIME-OUT STORY. TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA WITH A 20, TWO FULLS. YOUNG LEAVES THE GAME WITH 15 POINTS AND THREE ASSISTS. JOHNNY TAYLOR THE FIRST TO COME OVER AND GIVE HIM A HUG. IT WAS TAYLOR, YOU WILL RECALL, WAS ON THE BENCH THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF THE WIN OVER GEORGIA, AND IT WAS YOUNG WHO HAD TO MAKE THE PLAYS TO ENSURE A SECOND-ROUND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MOCCASINS. JUST THE OPPOSITE TODAY. YOU REALLY CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE COMPLIMENTARY PLAYERS, PARTICULARLY CHRIS MIMS, THE SENIOR FROM UNISPRENGS, ALABAMA, NUMBER 34 IN BLUE, HAS BEEN A REAL DIFFERENCE. IF THERE WAS EVER A MOMENT IN UT BASKETBALL HISTORY, AND IN THE BASKETBALL LIFE OF CHRIS MIMS, WHEN HE HAD TO PLAY TO HIS MAXIMUM ABILITY, IT WAS THERE. Jim>> HELDMAN GETS ONE OF THE TWO. 66-60. Pat>> WE WILL WATCH THIS GAME AND KEEP YOU UP TO DATE ON THE FINISH OF THAT. TWO OTHER GAMES ABOUT TO BEGIN. IN PITTSBURGH, COPPIN STATE AND TEXAS ABOUT TO GET UNDER WAY THERE. AND OUT IN TUCSON IN THE WEST, WAKE FOREST METS STANFORD. WE'LL HAVE THOSE GAMES FOR YOU AFTER THIS MESSAGE AND A WORD FROM YOUR LOCAL STATION. HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING OUR EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT HERE ON CBS. ■o■■ ■■ (Captioning sponsored by Pizza Hut Inc., U.S. Dept. of Education and CBS) Jim>> ONE SLOT REMAINS OPEN FOR SAN JOSE, AND THE WEST REGIONAL. AND IT WILL BE DECIDED RIGHT HERE ON THE FLOOR OF THE MCICALLY CENTER IN TUCSON, ARIZONA. WHERE TODAY THE STANFORD CARDINAL, OUT OF THE PAC TEN, WILL CHALLENGE THE ACC'S WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS, THE 3 SEED IN THE WEST. JIM NANTZ AND BILLY PACKER COURTSIDE. THERE'S MIKE MONTGOMERY, THE HEAD COACH FOR STANFORD, IN HIS 11th SEASON. TENACIOUS COACH. AN 11-6 RECORD IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT AS THE HEAD COACH AT WAKE FOREST, HIS EIGHTH YEAR OVERALL. RICKY PERAL WITH SEAN ALLEN, ALL-AMERICA TIM DUNCAN, JERRY BRASWELL AND TONY RUTLAND. UNIFORMS, AND WAKE FOREST CONTROLS THE TIP. Billy>> THERE IS A MISMATCH SITUATION IN THIS GAME. WHICH TEAM WILL GET CONTROL OF THE MISMATCH FIRST? STANFORD STARTING THREE GUARDS, WAKE FOREST STARTING A POWER LINEUP. DUNCAN AND YOUNG. THE MATCH-UP INSIDE. BAD SHOT. HE GOT A HAND ON. IT THAT WAS A WILDLY THROWN ATTEMPT. BREVIN KNIGHT PENETRATING, WHIP ITS OVER. YOUNG'S SHOT FALLS OFF THE RIM. DUNCAN SWEEPS IT AWAY. TALK ABOUT QUICKNESS OF FEET. COLSON DID NOT HAVE IT IN THE FIRST GAME. WE SEE THAT KNIGHT HAS NOT LOST ANY SPEED. RUTLAND FROM THE CORNER, IN-AND-OUT. YOUNG WITH THE REBOUND. Billy>> IF YOU'RE DAVE ODOM, YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR GUARDS GET OFF EARLY WITH THE JUMP SHOTS. RUTLAND CAME OUT OF A MISERABLE SLUMP WITH AN OUTSTANDING BASKETBALL GAME AGAINST ST. MARY'S. YOUNG WITH THE TURNAROUND UNDS, AND FANG MITCHELL'S CLUB WILL HAVE THEIR FIRST OFFENSIVE POSSESSION OF THE AFTERNOON. >> Jon: FREEMAN HAS WIDE WING SPAN, LOVES TO TRAP THE BASKETBALL. >> Mike: INTO THE PAINT. BROCKINGTON COMES DOWN. GETS IT THAT TIME. >> Jon: FEARLESS, LIKES TO GO TO HIS RIGHT WITH HIS RIGHT HAND. >> Mike: SKIPS TO TO FREEMAN. [ WHISTLE ] BROCKINGTON GRABS HIM ON THE WAY THROUGH. >> Jon: NICE PASS BY MUONEKE. >> Jon: SINGLETARY TOOK OVER THE SECOND HALF OF THE BALL GAME. >> Mike: DENNIS JORDAN, 57% FREE-THROW SHOOTER KNOCKS THAT ONE DOWN. >> Jon: JORDAN QUIET AGAINST WISCONSIN. DOESN'T GET A LOT OF TOUCHES IN THE HALF-COURT OFFENSE FOR TEXAS. GOOD SHOOTER WHEN HE GETS BALL ABOUT TEN FEET. GOOD POSTUP
