No regrets — Bulldogs go to wire
Booker's three-pointer
gives UNLV tourney title
INGLEWOOD - Ron Anderson
leaned against the wall. He stood in a
hallway at The Forum, clutching his
Pacific Coast Athletic Association all-
tournament team and runnerup team
irophies.
He had the look of a tired warrior.
Anderson, a forward for the Bulldog
nasketball team, told members of the
media he and his teammates had nothing
i o be ashamed of.
Down the hall, senior Desi Barmore
was telling another group of reporters the
same thing.
Inside the lockerroom, other Bulldogs
were experiencing the twin emotions of
pride in a job well done and the
disappointment of coming so close.
Fresno was beaten by Nevada-Las
Vegas for the PCAA tournament crown
Saturday afternoon in front of a regional
television audience.
UNLV guard Eric Booker buried a 21-
loot bomb with just one second left in the
tourney championship game to give the
Rebels an overtime 66-63 victory over
"I feel we are definitely a championship
hallclub," Anderson said. "We don't feel
ihat bad about the loss. We were real fired
up lor the game and so were they."
The Bulldogs started quickly against
i he Rebels, roaring to a 23-6 lead midway
through the first half.
But the Rebels slowly chipped away.
The Bulldogs, tiring somewhat from
playing their third game in as many nights
and playing furiously at both ends of the
floor, were held without a field goal in the
tinal 8:10 of regulation time.
But Fresno's stall game almost was
enough. When the 30-second shot clock
went off with 4:00 to go in the game the
Bulldogs led by three.
Mitch Arnold's free throws with 3:31
showing put Fresno up by five, 57-52.
But UNLV, ninth-ranked according to
Associated Press, hung in there.
Finally, Danny Tarkanian popped a 20-
footer with 36 seconds to play and the
score was tied at 59-59.
Bernard Thompson pulled up, with a
lumper at the horn, but it fell short and the
title game was sent into overtime.
The teams traded buckets twice i
five-minute extra period. Eldridge
Hudson gave the Rebels their first lead of
the entire game and Anderson took it
right back with a shot from 17 feet.
Sidney Green, the PCAA player of the
year and tournament most valuable
player, muscled up two points and
Thompson went down to lay one in over
Green to tie the score at 63-63, just 1:46
showing on the clock.
UNLV went down the floor and
Hudson missed his shot. Thompson went
high to pull down his fifth rebound of the
night and the Bulldogs appeared to be in
business. They were just one shot away
from their third straight tdurney title and
subsequent trip to the NCAA playoffs.
The clock went down to 0:18 and
Fresno called timeout.
"On the last play, we wanted to get into
oulr offense with 14 seconds left and get a
shot with four seconds," Barmore said. "If
we miss it, it's another OT."
But Bulldog, head coach Boyd Grant
suggested Tyrone Bradley, running
the offense, may have feared he was
about to be called for a five-second delay
violation and hurried his pass inside to
Barmore.
The pass was a little off the mark and
Booker stole it. He took the ball himself,
pulled up just outside the three-point arc
and put the winning shot home.
"1 thought he was gonna hurry and take
a bad shot and we would go into another
overtime," Grant said. "But he had the
range on that one."
G rant, who was obviously disappointed
immediately following the game, took a
more realistic view later. |
"A lot worse things are going to happen
in life than losing this game and that's
what we told the kids," Grant said. "Sure
it hurts, but we can hold our heads up. I
thought there was a lot of class in this
tournament. The kids kept their poise
under a lot of pressure. We've got nothing
to be ashamed of."
It was certainly a performance few
would have expected a few weeks ago
whe n the Bulldogs were drifting with a 4-7
conference record. But Fresno finished
strong with five straight wins and won a
pair of big games in the tournament.
CSUF opened with an 86-68 conquest

Carver bounces back for
fifth place finish at NCAA
OKLAHOMA CITY — CSUF
wrestler Sylvester Carver vented
Thursday's frustrations on Friday's
wrestlers and split two matches
Saturday to finish fifth overall in the
NCAA wrestling championships this
weekend.
After being upset in Thursday's
opening match 8-6 by North Caroli¬
na's Jan Michaels, Carver returned
Friday with three straight decision
wins. Saturday, Carver, named Ail-
American, lost to Nebraska's Ray j
Oliver, 6-5, but came back later in
the day for a 6-5 win over Minneso¬
ta's Jim Trudeau to clinch his final
standing. Trudeau was the Big-10
Converence champion.
A win over Oliver would, have
assured Carver a third-place finish.
Friday, Carver chalked up wins
44,45 and 46 for the season. He beat
Cleveland State's Matt Dulka, Okla¬
homa's Melvin Douglas, and Hof- ■
stra's Pete Capone — all with 3-2
decisions.
The four tournament victories give
Carver a 47-4 record for the season,
second in the Bulldog record book
to Mike Gallego's 48 wins in 1968.
Carver, a Junior, will return on next
year's Bulldog squad.
