Commentary: New Faces Spice up NCAA Top 20 ty Elson Armstrong, Jr. : There's something about change that we ail find exciting and challenging. Even in this t age of so-called conser vatism, change is the order of the day. From television news to the halls of. Congress, hew faces are replacing the old guard. College basketball. hot to be left out, is also jseeing its share of new, faces dotting the ever popular, top twenty polls. With" the increased in terest in the cage sport, more schools are com mitted to building winn ing programs and the balance on the collegiate scene has increased almost ten-fold from the late 1960's when a hand ful of teams like UCLA, North ' Carolina and Houston dominated things.' To be sure, some of the old guard such as North Carolina and Ken tucky are still powerful. They now have to con tend with some schools such as Alabama Birmingham that didn't even have a basketball team until fi ve years ago. '.Just look at the na tional, top twenty and I'm sure you'll find some schools that you've never heard of. I v i Y SI ' t, j. ,yf ' .,3"' A Hornet Glides No. 10, r.

Five years ago, they were having trouble beating schools like Bakersfield State, and now. they're considered to be one of the twenty best teams in America. Area fans may remember that until 1972 Virginia had never been ranked any higher than fifteenth, but now they're a major threat for this year's national title.

' Another, factor is that it is easier and less expen sive to build up a winn- , ing basketball program as opposed to football.

With the talent in high schools all over the na tion consistently getting better, it is likely that the college cage game will continue to grow.

Joe is a 6-8 sophomore from Rochester, New York; and he majors in Physical Education. FJson Armstrong, Jr. There were two big '"tagetgamcs ' 4rt -the af ca this past weekend and when the dust had settled Duke and North Carolina State were left to lick bitter wounds while North Carolina and Virginia stayed atop the ACC and were head ed for shoot out No. 2 this Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Tar Heels, follow ing a script very similar to their 61-41 win over State , earlier this month in ' Raleigh, sent their home partisans home happy as they beat the Pack 58-44 in Chapel Hill. State played well in the first half and actually led by five (13-8) while the 'Heels were having dif-, ficulty getting unpack ed. The Wolfpack failed to take complete charge . however, and quickly UNC rallied back into the game and led at the. half 29-27. In the second half. State relived a nightmare as UNC took charge and except for a brief State run that cut an eight point UNC lead to four (39-35) the Tar Heels, behind the sensational play of James Worthy and Sam Perkins, pretty much had things their way as the lead stayed from 1 1 4 4' points the rest of the way. Shortly after UNC disposed of State, Virginia, their neck-and-neck neighbor in the ACC race, hit the floor before a packed house in Durham. Duke which was riding a three-game winning streak, hoped to end its frustrations against Ralph Sampson ' and Virginia. But it was not to be. The game was not pretty and at times it threatened to become downright nasty. The Wahoos quickly took control and ran out to a 20-8 lead with 8:02 to go in the half. The - Blue Devils just couldn't buy a basket at this point. One disheartened Duke fan said, "We couldn't, throw it in the ocean even if we were on the beach!" Al this juncture Duke had gone nine minutes without scoring. With Ralph Sampson picking up his second foul, he was taken out of . the game and Virginia went stone cold (they wouldn't score for the rest of the half). Duke mounted a minor rally of five points. With the score 20-12. the game took an ugly turn as Vince Taylor was fejyred on a driving layufe with 4:07 Jeft. WMW?yflod poured from a cut above his eye (he received stit ches and returncd the game in the second half), no foul was called and the Duke fans became in censed. They booed Virginia every timeit had ball possession for, the rest of the half which ended with the score 20-13. i In the .seconds half, despite the efforts of the Dukies to rattle Ralph and Co. with hundreds of waiving balloons. Virginia dominated the opening of the final period and for ail intents and purposes, it was over. They led by as much as 53-38 with 6:39 to go before Duke rallied to the final margin of 77-65. Now Virginia and Carolina will square off for first place in the ACC in rivalry that has taken on gigantiefpro portions over the past six years. Virginia will be.,eek ing revenge on the 'Heels for their only defeat of the season thus far.
