5LACK COLLEGE NOTES lyiEAC announces new format for March tourney jy randy pettitt ft-nide Sports Edtor The Mid-Eastem Athletic Con ference has announced that there v,-il! be a change in the format of iheir conference basketball touma- menL The MEAC tournament, held Friday, March 4 and Saturday, 5 in the Greensboro Colise- will use a two-day format for first time ever. Instead of the usual three-day format, both men's and women's first round games will be played at the home sites of the top seeds on Mwiday, February 29 and Tuesday, March 1. The final four qualifiers will then meet at the Greensboro Colise- for tlie semi-finals on March 4 and 5. MEAC Commissioner, Ken Free, said the two-day format was needed to insure financial security. 'The new format should stabi lize the tournament financially," said Free in a prepared statement. He was in Tennessee with members of the NCAA at press time. "First round profits at campus sites should produce revenues greater than what we could have with all the first round games at one site. "In two years, we should know which is better - the two-day or three-day format." Free said officials of the Greensboro Coliseum consented with the new format. "They’re happy with it," he said. "They agree it will be more beneficial to the conference." According to sources, the tour nament is one of the poorest in Divi sion I in terms of attendence. Con ference officials hope campus games will improve their status and increase profits to the member insti tutions. Greensboro Coliseum hosted the tournament from 1976 to 1979 and in 1983. It was also held in Wnston-Salem from 1980 to 1982. Aggies Top MEAC N.C. A&T is sitting in a very familiar place this week - on top of the men's standings in the MEAC. The Aggies are 2-0 in league play with a 90-61 win over Coppin State Please see page B4 ISary Cromartie throws one down against Francis Marion in the iRams’ opener. This is Cromartie's favorite way of foilowing up a tebound and he gets plenty of practice {photo by Mike Cunningham). Chairmen of the Boards From Page B2 Ibought about the different styles. I jiustfeel comfortable with it." Reid says though they have liifFerent styles in some degree, the [object is the same. "You have to box out, jump up jihere and bring down the basket- Nl" he said. "If you do that, then jibe wins will come - and so will [•be points." All The Right Stuff The fire of last year’s bitter in the semi-finals of the CIAA isketball Tournament still lies in llbeir eyes as the Rams ready them- to plow straight ahead into heart of a schedule laden with competition. This year we're well adjusted ^ know our roles," said Cromar- jbO' "There has been a time when I here and we didn't know our |ioles. Now we do and we're starting l^cxecuie them well. I will be with anything short of ’^CIAA champioDShip." ' Not only do the Rams claim perhaps the CIAA's best 1-2 rebounding punch, they possess a formidable 1-2 combination ot the perimeter as well. Guards Steve Hood and Char lie Hood are both All-CIAA caliber and have paced the team in scoring with their steady shooting. And with the "chairmen of the boards" on the job, the Rams' guards feel a whole lot easier about firing up their three-pointers. "Bighouse" probably feels a little better too. Add 6-7 razzle-dazzle swing- man, Matthew "Iceman” McMillan, and such reserves as Mike Usane, Jamal Pierce and Toby Barber into the formula, and it paints a pretty complete picture. The Rams could be heading into the Norfolk Scope to play for the CIAA title knowing all the bases may finally be covered. WSSU indeed has a pair of 1-2 punches. But the knockout punch has yet to be discovered. Plowing headfirst into the CIAA schedule, Gaines is still searching.
