| Transcript | SWC Classic History, VII & VIII SWC CLASSIC VII — MARCH 6,1982 (REUNION ARENA) ARKANSAS 84, HOUSTON 69 DALLAS — Arkansas captured its third Southwest Conference Post-Season Classic title in seven tries as the Razorbacks, ranked No. 13 in the nation, rolled to an 84-69 victory over the No. 2 seed Houston Cougars. The game marked the fifth time in the seven-year history of the tournament the top two seeds met for the championship. The Razorbacks used four players in double figures to ease past the Cougars. But it was two first-half technical fouls called on Arkansas Head Coach Eddie Sutton that seemed to ignite the Razorbacks. UH's junior All-SWC guard Rob Williams made three of the four technical foul shots, putting the Cougars up 24-22, but Sutton's tactics aroused the Razorbacks. The game was knotted at 32 at halftime, but the Hogs exploded for 52 second- half points to put UH away. Arkansas shot an impressive 63.3 from the field (31- of-49) and forced 19 Houston turnovers. The Razorbacks balanced scoring attack was led by sophomore guard Alvin Robertson, who finished with 23 points. Other Arkansas players in double figures were Keith Peterson (17 points), Scott Hastings (16 points) and Darrell Walker (14 points). Houston had only one player in double figures as Williams accounted for 24 of the Cougars' 69 points. Arkansas' defense did an exceptional job of stifling Houston's strong inside game, shutting down centers Larry Micheaux (six points, three rebounds) and Akeem Olajuwon (eight points, one rebound) and forwards Clyde Drexler (nine points, nine rebounds) and Michael Young (three points, one rebound).

And for the third time the Cougars got to cut down the nets, this time with a 62-59 victory over the Horned Frogs. However the Cougars, the nation's No. 1 -ranked team entering the Post-Season Classic, had to sweat out the last five minutes of the game. Ail-American center Hakeem Olajuwon staked the Cougars to a 55-43 lead with 5:49 to play, but that's when the fun started. Enter Houston's traditional problems at the free throw line. TCU sent the Cougars, who converted on just 8-of-22 free throw attempts for the game, to the line nine times over that last 5:49 in one-and-one situations. Seven of the nine times the Cougars came away empty handed, and the Horned Frogs, behind Darrell Browder (13 points), Nick Cucinella (11 points) and Doug Arnold (16 points) trimmed UH's lead to 60-57. But Houston's Larry Micheaux finally sank two free throws with seven seconds remaining to insure the victory and preserve UH's No. 1 ranking entering the NCAA Tournament. Houston survived on the play Olajuwon (19 points, nine rebounds) and Tournament Most Valuable Player Michael Young (15 points, seven rebounds). All-SWC forward Clyde Drexler could account for only seven UH points, although he did grab a game-high 11 rebounds and seven steals. Houston forced 18 Horned Frog turnovers as TCU showed signs of fatigue Officials: Jim Harvey, Allan Barker, Bob Straface Technical Fouls: Doug Arnold, Hakeem Olajuwon Attendance: 12,857 Southwest Conference Basketball 143 |
