Duke, which drew a Bye into the regional playoffs, will op. n the regional playoffs against Villanova, Friday night. __ Villanova downed Providence, 77-66. Monday night and Princeton will meet Connecticut in the Friday night opening contest. Connecticut surprised favored Temple, .>3-18 in the opening contest. Bradley & Co. Too Much For Keydets Bill Bradley, two - time All-America Princeton for ward (he's a junior this yean lived up to all of his ex j eolations Monday night as he led the Tigers to the de cisive win. VMI led. 36-35 at halftime, hut ran into a long scor ing d:\ spell in th.. second half, and the Bradley - led Ti i gers poured on the coal as hot handed Bradley ripped the (nets fot 17 points in the final half of play, and had num erous assists. ID was nearly a one-man team. Bradley finished the night with 34 points (17 in each half), and for all of the 9.200 fans that witnessed the trple hcadcr. he put on quite a show Bradley, who hails front Missouri, almost came to | Duke to play his college basketball. It is reported that Bradley- was strongly considering 1 Duke, and it has been rumored that he at one time signed a grant-and-aid to the Blue Devil campus, hut changed his plans at the last minute and went to Princeton. It is easy to visualize what might have happened at Duke the past two years if Bradley had chosen to attend. With Art Heyman. Bill Bradley, and Jeff Mullins leading the way, the Blue Devils would have been next to invul nerable last year, and this year the Dukes would have been even greater. Duke Favored To Sweep Reaionals The 1983-64 Blue Devils, which have been rated by many as a better team than the 1962-'63 team which fin ished No. 3 in the nation, is favored to sweep the Regional playoffs, although Villanova will provide the Dukes with some stiff competition come Friday night. Villanova has lost only four games this season, and is currently ranked No. 8 in the nation. Duke is ranked No. 1. > Th - season records tend to favor l'CLA (undefeated in 126 games), and Wichita or Drake has been given a solid chance to give some team a run lor the national title. And then there is the defending champions, Loyola, which has been coming along strong of I ate, and the Wildcats of Kentucky, coached by Mr. Coach. Adolph Rupp, will be a team to watch. And wouldn't that be something if Lexington - born Jefl Mullins > nds up leading Duke to the throne Rupp clearly would love to clinch with his all-time record four teenth tournament team? To further complicate *he advance picture, some pre dict that Texas Western, the team which makes good news with “Bad News" Barnes, is a strong contender for the coveted national title. Good horses generally run and win good races and this is where Duke has th * edge. Coaches have claimed all season that Duke and Michigan have the nation’s best ma teria! and since the Blue Devils have mors experience than the Wolverines, who some say are a mere year away from the greatest, my nod lias to go to Bubas' Durham-based machine. In the Western Division, Oregon State was surprised by Seattle. 61-f>7. and was therefore eliminated from reg-; ional piay. Seattle will be UCLA's opponent in the opening round >f play Friday night, and the San Francisco Dons will round out the Western Rogionals with an opening round nmteh with Utah State, which defeated Arizona State. 92 :Xi to advance to the Regional playoffs.
