The emphasis will be on height when the Lawrence regional of the NCAA tournament starts tonight in Allen Field House. Oklahoma City, an at-large representative, will meet Kansas State, the Big Seven champion, in the first game at 7:30 p.m. and Southern Methodist, Southwest Conference titlist, will play Houston, the Missouri Valley winner at 9:30.
The winners of tonight's games will meet in the finals Saturday night with the losers playing a consolation game. Saturday's winner will be one of four teams in the NCAA finals March 23-24 at Evanson, Ill.
Pachin Vicens of Kansas State and Lupie Lopez of Houston are the only two starters on all four teams who stand under six feet. Each team has plenty of height at the center position. The smallest center is 6-foot 8-inch Jim Krebs of SMU. Jack Parr of Kansas State stands 6 feet 9 inches and the two big boys are 6-foot 10-inch Hubert Reed of Oklahoma City and 7-foot Don Boldebuck of Houston.
Over 2,000 Mark
In scoring 524 points this season and raising his college total to 2,233 Boldeubck joined a select group of collegiate players who have gone over the 2,000 mark. Boldeubck, one of the greatest basketball players ever to come out of the Southwest, will be playing against Jim Krebs, one of the top centers in the South-west Conference.
The Oklahoma City Chiefs, one of the nation's top independent powers this season with an 18-6 record, came from behind to defeat Memphis
State 97-81 in a first round NCAA play-off game Tuesday at Wichita. The Chiefs were rated 11th in the final Associated Press basketball ratings.
Kansas State won the Big Seven Conference championship with a 9-3 record and its over-all mark was 16-7. The Wildcats won the title in their last game of the season against Kansas, 79-68.
Southern Methodist rallied to defeat Texas Tech Tuesday at Wichita in another NCAA regional game for their 23rd icory of the season against only two defeats. The Mustangs, rated 7th in the final AP ratings, were beaten only by Minnesota at Minneapolis and Kansas in Allen Field House. SMU is undoubtedly the strongest team ever to represent the Southwest Conference in NCAA tournament play.
Won Strong Valley
The Houston Cougars won the Missouri Valley title by one game with a 9-3 conference record. The Missouri Valley is consistently one of the strongest basketball conferences in the nation. The second and third place finishers, St. Louis and Oklahoma A&M, will play in the National Invitational Tournament in New York City.
K-State will be playing the tallest team in the tournament tonight, Oklahoma City's first team averages 6 feet 5 inches a man. The smallest member of the Chiefs' starting lineup is Cecil Magana, a 6-foot guard. K-State will have to hold down the scoring of Reed if it expects to advance into the finals.
The sophomore center averaged 20.1 points a game this season and scored 27 in OCU's comeback victory over Memphis State Tuesday. The only other player scoring in double figures for the Chiefs is forward Lyndon Lee with a 14-point average.
Three Able Scorers
The Wildcats will have three of the top scorers in the Big Seven in their starting lineup tonight. All-Big Seven center, Jack Parr, was fourth in the conference scoring race with an average of 17.1 points a game. Forward Fritz Schneider, who personally led K-State to their final victory over Kansas with 36 points, tied for ninth with a 14.8 average and the Wildcats' fiery little backcourt star.
Kansas State was the leading defensive team in the conference, allowing 63.4 points a game.
The SMU-Houston game probably will be a duel between Krebs and Boldeuck, the two opposing centers. Both were the top pivot men in their respective leagues. However, the Cougars have a well-balanced scoring punch that doesn't stop with Boldeuck.
