Transcript | Cougars Flat in NCAA Semifinals; With a whirling dervish offense and that always consistant defense, the number one ranked Cougars swept past Loyola of Chicago (94-76), Louisville (91-75) and Texas Christian (103-68) and into the semifinals. UCLA versus Houston! The game everyone had anxiously awaited became reality. At the center jump 7' 2" Lew Alcindor gave a hint of what was to come as he outjumped Elvin for the first time in three meetings. The Coogs quickly set up in their 1- 3-1 zone. Little did they or anyone else realize that the Bruins' outside shooting would so completely shatter a great defense. First Mike Warren, then Lynn Shackelford and Lucius Allen jumped, pumped and ripped the cords on the basket. Cold shooting Houston, unable to get the ball to the "Big E", resorted to long jump shots at which they were not successful. "E" goes up for a shot, spots Ken Spain and passes off to him for an easy layup in the Cougars' rousing victory over Loyola of Chicago in Salt Lake City, Utah. Cougar forward Theodis Lee drives high into the air to take his jump shot against Ohio State in the consolation game at Los Angeles' Sports Arena. 184 |
