'Dogs top Arizona Wildcats 77-65
TUCSON, ARIZONA - The Fresno
State men's basketball team picked up
one of its biggest wins in recent years
here Monday night with a 77-65 decision
over the University of Arizona in front of
7,500 stunned fans at Mc Kale Center.
Fresno's Bulldogs turned in a sizzling
second half shooting display to put away
the Pac-10 Wildcats. The Bulldogs shot
a red-hot 78 percent from the floor In the
second half with a 14-of-18 performance.
The win gave coacH Boyd Grant's
Bulldogs a spotless 3-0 record heading
Into tonight's 7:35 p.m. non-conference
encounter with Cal State Los Angeles
at Selland Arena.
Fresno outscored the Wildcats 9-0
at the start of the second half and over¬
came a slim one-point Arizona advan¬
tage. The early outburst gave the Bull¬
dogs a lead they wouldn't relinquish the
remainder of the contest, although the
host Wildcats did get close on a number
of occasions.
But it wasn't just the torrid second
half shooting effort by the 'Dogs that led
to the CSUF win. The key factor in
Fresno's triumph was that the Wildcats
only went to the free throw line 10 times,
converting seven of them, while the Bull¬
dogs sunk 25 of 38 charity shots
Fresno appeared somewhat shaky in
the first half, committing five turnovers
in the first four minutes and a total of 13
In the first half, and the reason might
have been that the Bulldogs were
playing away from home-for. the. first
time. In a strange place with hostile
fans. Whatever the reason, the Bulldogs
made a big turnaround in the second half
and took command of the tempo.
In spite of the shaky start, the 'Dogs
used the strong inside play of Pete Ver-
hoeven and the sharp-shooting of Rod
Higgins to stay close at halftime, 32-31
Fresno relied on the smooth play of
Verhoeven, Higgins, Bobby Davis, and
the adept ball-handling of guards Donald
Mason and Bobby Anderson to move out
to Its 40-32 lead early In the second half.
In that 9-0 blitz at the start of the
final 20 minutes of play, Davis made two
close-range shots, Verhoeven sunk a
free throw, Anderson made a layup and
Mason added a bucket on a goal-tending
call by Arizona's Frank Smith.
The Wildcats cut the Bulldog lead to
42-38, but Higgins buried three straight
20-fdoters to keep the 'Dogs in the lead.
Verhoeven played one of the finest
games of his career as a Bulldog with a
20-point effort. Along with his offensive
work,  the senior from Hantord held
Arizona's Frank Smith and John Belo-
braydic to 20 points and 10 rebounds
between the two.
Verhoeven was the leading scorer with
his 20 points. Mason added 19 points,
Higgins had 16 and Davis chipped in 12
to round out the scoring for the Bulldogs.
Ron Davis was Arizona's high scorer
with 16 points.
