UNLVshuts down pesky Bulldogs, 64-62      I Lady 'Dogs set sights on postseason play
Bulldog forward Ron Anderson goes over UNLV's Richie Adams
and "Spoon" James for a shot Saturday in Las Vegas.
With 7:45 left to play in the first half of
Saturday's UNLV-CSUF basketball con¬
test in Las Vegas, Rebel Coach Jerry Tar¬
kanian snatched a towel from underneath
his seat, put it in his mouth, and clamped
down hard. For the first time that after-
noon the hollow-eyed coach
seemed a bit concerned about the game's
Up until two minutes before Tarkan-
ian's move to the towel, his Rebels had
cruised to a 15-4 lead, controlled both
ends of the court with relative ease and
appeared to be heading for an easy
blowout. Then suddenly the Bulldogs
started getting the ball inside, Mitch
Arnold was hitting his jumpshot, and
point guard Marvin Carter was passing
with renewed confidence.
What happened?
"It just see,med like the momentum kept
changing," was all Tarkanian could offer.
"God. we played great the first 15 or so
minutes: But you've got to give Fresno
State credit, they didn't give up."   -
Although UNLV managed to take an
eleven-point lead into the lockerroom al
half ti me, the pesky CSU F basketball team
was to give Tark's nerves quite a workout
before the day was out.
Down by as many as 13 points, CSUF
battled back several times to within strik¬
ing distance of the sixth-ranked Rebels
before bowing in the end, 64-62, for its
third consecutive loss. The defeat dropped
the Bulldogs to 2-3 in the PCAA and. 11-5
overall. UNLV meanwhile, upped its
conference-leading mark to 7-0 and 16-1
overall.
"Ai limes today we played to our poten¬
tial." said CSUF head coach Boyd Grant.
"But we did some foolish things in the end
lhat could have been helped."   "
Tarkanian drew a sigh of relief after
UNLV came away with its narrowist win
of the season, excluding the Rebels' 69-67
double overtime loss to Georgetown

December 30. "We were lucky," he said.
"I'm just happy to get away with the win."
UNLV did not actually have the game
wrapped up until Spoon James sank a
pair of free throws with six seconds left to
put the Rebels up by four points, 64-60.
The last ten minutes of Saturday's game
was enough to give Tarkanian, or any
other coach for that matter, a severe case
of towel-biting. With UNLV leading 47-
38, the Bulldogs suddenly caught fire
again behind some electrifying moves
from forward Bernard Thompson, who
scored a game-high 18 points and came up
with 12 rebounds.
With 11:36 left in the game. Arnold
picked off a Jeff Collins pass and dished it
off to Ron Anderson downcourt. Ander¬
son missed Ihe ensuing lay up, but
Thompson pulled down the rebound.
'...we did some foolish things
in the end that could have
been helped.'
— Boyd Grant
went back up for the shot, made it, and
was fouled by Paul Brozovich. After sink¬
ing the free throw, Thompson went back
down the court, nabbed a rebound off a
Spoon James jumper, passed the ball off
to Cleave Lewis, and later tipped in Lewis'
shot from the right side ofthe key. Within
30 seconds, CSUF. thanks to Thompson,
closed within four points of UNLV,
47-43.
With four minutes to go the 45-second
shot clock went off. and the normally run-
and-gun Rebels promptly went into a
passing stall. After an easy lay up by
UNLV's Richie Adams and a series of
turnovers by both squads, the Bulldogs
were forced to foul Freddie Banks to get
the ball back. Banks made the first free
throw but missed the second, and CSUF
had the ball back, but faced a six point
deficit with 40 seconds remaining in the
game.
Carter brought the ball up the court and
passed off to Thompson underneath, who
was immediately fouled by Adams. Thomp¬
son made both ends of the one and one
and the 'Dogs suddenly were within four
points.
The Bulldogs were then forced to foul
point guard Danny Tarkanian in an effort
to get the ball back. The younger Tarkan¬
ian had a chance to take the towel out of
Dad's mouth, but he missed the front end
of the one and one and the 'Dogs had the
ball back again.
Arnold promptly hit a 15-foot jumper
from the right side but the clock was
quickly running out of time.
It was then lhat the Bulldogs ran out of
options. Arnold fouled Spoon James and

You might think that last season's
school record 15 victories would be
enough for the CSUF Women's basket¬
ball team, considering that the pro¬
gram had failed to notch more than 12
victories in any previous season.
But third-year coach Bob Spencer
isn't quite satisfied. At least not yet.
The optimistic Bulldog coach has bis
sights set on 16 wins for his young
squad, and if all goes well, a possible
playoff berth.
"As we have said from the start, our
goal is to win more games than we did
last year." said Spencer. "But It wont
be easy, aad we know that Oar sche¬
dule it much improved oveylatt year."
Not only do the T)ogyface an im¬
proved schedule this year, but the once
weak Northern Pacific Athletic Con¬
ference now poses a much tougher chal¬
lenge than in past years. Sixteen wins
might be bard to come by, as the Bul-
ldop discovered Friday night at the
South Gym where they dropped a 71-62
decision to a physical University of
California at Berkeley squad.
The NorPae lots left the Bulldogs
witha 2-2conference record, good for a
spot right in the middle of the crowded
NorPae standings. With II games re¬
maining, the 11-7 Bulldoat need only
play*.500 bail to accomplish Spencer's
preseason goal. But as the season wears
on, the schedule only gets tougher.
"Possibly our two most difficult
games of the year" is how Spencer des¬
cribes the Bulldogs'Thursday matchup
with Oregon State University and Sat¬
urday's meeting with the University of
Oregon. Both games will serve as pre¬
liminaries for the CSUF men's contests
at Setland Arena (starring time is 5:05
p.m.), but Spencer tays that wont help
the Bulldogs'cause.
"Thats no home court advantage for
us," insists Spencer. "When we play at
our court (the South Gym), the fans
realty get bchiad a*. Bat playiagat Sel-
land, our loyal fans cant attend, be¬
cause they dont have teaaoa tickets for
the men's games.- So muck for Spen¬
cers Tomb.
The Bulldogs enjoyed the support of
an impressive crowd of 3T2 In Friday
night's low to Cal, but even that
couldn't save them from their own
worst enemy—free throws, or the lack
of them. The Bulldogs looked on hope¬
lessly at the Bears sank eight coaeeca-
tive pressure free throws in the waning
minutes to secure their 12th victory of
the season against just two losses. The
'Dogs
utes after the opening tip-off. Three min-
.utes later Adams stole an errant Ron
Strain pass, sprinted the length of the
floor and dunked another one. Adams
ended the game with 12 pointt and four
Swimmers bow to Long Beach
Carter managed to take the ball down-
court for a lay up to pull the 'Dogs back
within two. but his effort was a little too
little and a little too late as time expired.
For the third consecutive game CSUF
walked off the court without a victory. It
was the first time a Grant-coached Bul¬
ldog team had lost three straight confer¬
ence games. Last Sunday Leon
Wood and the Fullerton State Titans
stunned the Dogs, 51-53. and Thursday
UC Irvine sent CSUFreeling witha 57-53
The move did not seem to pay off at first
as the CSUF offense sputtered through
the opening twelve minutes of play and
U N LV jumped out to a 13-4 lead.
The pressing UNLV defense actually
held CSUF scoreless for the first 4:10 of
the game until Thompson hit a 15-foot
jump shot from the right side of the key.
Part of the reason for UNLV's early
success wat the play of 6*9" forward
Richie Adams, who was giving Anderson
and the Bulldogs fitt at both ends of the
court. Adams blocked an Anderson shot
early in the game and wasted little time in
summing home a dunk barely five rain-"
In an effort to avoid his third consecu¬
tive loss. Grant ihook up the starting line¬
up prior tothe UNLV game. Marvin Car¬
ter started at the point guard spot in place
of Ron Strain, Cleave Lewis started as a
small forward in place of center Scott
Barnes, and Bernard Thompson and Ron
Anderson opened in their usual forward
"It wasnt anything he (Adams) was
doing." offerred Anderson. "I jutt wasnt
playing well in the first half. I was in too
big a hurry."
The depth of the UNLV front court
extended way beyond Adams, however.
Spoon James scored 14 points and nabbed
five rebounds, Ed Catchings layed in 13
points and three rebounds and John
Rowers, the back-up center, scored eight
points along with four rebounds. With
depth like that it was no wonder Fresno's
Anderson, who played the entire 40 min¬
utes of the game, was dripping buckets of
sweat after the first 6 minutes of play.
On CSUF's side of the court. Carter
responded to his first starting
assignment of the season with a ten-point
effort. Arnold ended up with 14 points, six
rebounds and five assists, Anderson sc¬
ored "17 points along with six rebounds,
and Lewis finished with one point and
four rebounds.
Kristen Turner almost stole the show
with a school record performance in the
500 free and another win in the 200 Tree
but her performance alone wasnt enough
Friday 6 to help the CSUF women's
swim team salvage a win in iu first-ever
meeting with Long Beach State. The 49ers
behind Fiona Curnow, took the curtain
calls and won the non-conference dual
meet in the CSUF pool. 76-52.
"1 was surprised by the time." said
Turner of her 5:07.48 clocking which shat¬
tered the seven-year-old 500 free school
record formerly held by Lynn Sager. "1
was just trying to see what pace would be
set and then take off in the end."
Turner was neck and neck with Cathy
Haselhorst of Long Beach State for most
of the race, before pulling away in a full
sprint with 75 meters to go.
Long Beach States Bona Cumow
shared some of the meet's limelight with
Turner, winning a meet-high three-races,
including the 100 backstroke, the 200
backstroke, and the 200 individual med¬
ley. Cumow's time of 2:16-15 in the 200
backttroke set a pool record by almost
Long Beach State took an early lead in
the meet, taking the 400 medley relay and
later rolling up points behind Cathy
Haselhorsti win in the 10M tree.
Tracy Gearhart of CSUF took the 100
breaststroke in 1:12.50, and Val Hagopiaa
won the SO free to close out the individual
scoring for the Bulldogs.
The Lady Bulldogs will try to get back
on the winning track when they take on
Utah tomorrow at 3 p.m. in the CSUF

tyle events Saturday to lead the CSUF
mens swim team to an easy 69-26 route

conference dual meet in the CSUF pool.
Brown, a three-year letterman for the
Bulldogs, took the 200 free in 1:45.97 and
the 500 free in 4:52.58. Other winners for
CSUF in the meet included Kevin Nor-
gaard in the 1000 free ( 9:10.68, Keith
Delari in the 200 IM (2:05.57), and Ron
Osborn in the 200 breast (2:20.25).

tional on the UNLV campus.
