Great Lakes Field A Well-Balanced One If this four-team field which starts play on Friday night at Wright State University could be any closer matched find one somewhere else in the country The closeness of competition between Eastern Illinois Northshyern Michigan St Josephs and Wright State is remarkable

During regular-season competition Eastern Illinois met all three tournament teams and split with all three The same goes for Northern

A Look at the Teams Eastern Illinois Coach Don Eddy is taking his Panther basketball team into its fifth straight NCAA Division II appearance Along the way EIU garnered two third place finishes (1976 and 1978) along with two regional championshyships

A late-season surge almost has become a tradition for Eastern and this year was no exception After being ranked as high as sixth in Divishysion II in early January EIU lost four games in seven outings all corning on the road against Northern Iowa Northern Michigan Quincy and Wright State

From there it was off and running for Eastern winning four of its next five games with only a one-point loss in overtime at St Joes thrown in Included in the final four wins were impressive victories over Northern Michigan (82-64) Northern Iowa (71-67) and Butler (88-74)

Junior Craig DeWitt put together an outstanding season with a 163 scoring average along with 7 2 rebounds both team highs Except for an early season bout with mononucleosis DeWitt was the most consistent scorer for the Panthers and set a new team record with 35 points against Rose-Hu Iman

The only other player in double figures for EIU was sophomore Dennis Mumford with a 123 average His 63 rebounds were secondshybest His best game was a 24-point 12-rebound performance in a 79-72 win over Wright State

The other two probable starters for the Charleston Illinois team are Mike Pickens at guard and Jim Williams at forward Coach Eddy has used numerous other guard combinations but Dave LeTourneau has been a starter most recently A total of 12 different players have started for the Panthers this season

Northern Michigan Northern Michigan is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II basketball tournament The Wildcats made their presence known in the second game of the season when they dropped a two-point overtime game to powerful Detroit in the Motor City

Balanced scoring has been the key to the Cats success this year with seven different players taking game scoring honors Junior Randy Jenkins (144 ppg) and sophomore Mark Mindernan (107 ppg) are the only double figure scorers Five others are 60 or above Dave Thorpe Immanuel West Chuck Vercoe Gregg Upton and Dave Meinert

A nine-game winning streak earned NMU a 6 ranking in the Division II poll Included in those games were wins over Northern Iowa Eastern Ilshylinois Western Illinois and Wisconsin-Green Bay As a matter of fact NMU took two of three games against UW-Green Bay a tourney team in the North Central region

One of the hottest scorers during the nine-game winning streak was Mindeman who led the Cats in four straight games with an average of 233 per game His high was 30 at Youngstown State

Shooting is a strength for Coach Glenn Browns team His charges are shooting 757 percent from the line and 488 from the field Marty Thallmans 888 free throw percentage is among the best in the nation NMU has been among the national leaders in free throw percentage throughout the season

A look down the Wildcat roster indicates that next season could be even better with only one senior among the top seven scorers

St Josephs The Pumas are making their second straight appearance in the Great Lakes Regional and their sixth NCAA appearance overall

Michigan against only Eastern Illinois St Joes split both with Eastern and Wright State while Wright State split with Eastern and St Joes The lone road victories came in the St Joes-Wright State series trading road victories

Winning on the road has been a key for Coach George Waggoners team with an 8-4 mark on foreign courts Included were four straight wins to close out the road schedule all against tournament contenders Indiana State-Evansville Kentucky Wesleyan Indiana Central and Wright State

Leading the way for the Pumas has been senior Dave Downey with his 176 scoring average and 117 rebound average 15th in Division II The 6-8 frontliner has been described by many coaches as the best big man in the Great Lakes region and one of the premier men in the nation His singleshygame highs this season were 32 points against both Grace and Butler

St Joes might termed a giant-killer SJC knocked off Division I teams in three out of four tries going into the season-finale at Evansville last Tuesday The Rensselaer team looked like a sure-fire tournament team when it rolled off five straight wins to open the season but losses in four of the next five left the Pumas reeling

Most of the problems came about with a shoulder injury to Dave Dowshyney in a 103-85 loss at Eastern Illinois Although he recovered from the shoulder injury he later broke a bone in his left hand but he continued to play and maintain his scoring leadership

Other veteran players for St Joes include seniors Kevin Sims (151 ppg) and Tony Smith (63 ppg) along with sophomores Gerald Kates (120 ppg) and Neil Brown (106 ppg)

Strong rebounding has propel led the Pumas to an 18-8 record (with one regular-season game left) They hold a 468 to 377 margin on the backboards which would rank as one of the best in Division II

Wright State An 8-1 start in December including a 64-63 win over Division I Miami earned Wright State the highest ranking ever given a Great Lakes team in the Division II poll fourth

It was an injury to senior Bob Schaefer in an 89-82 key win over Central State which started to put the Raiders in a tailspin Although he continued to play most of the time his scoring output drastically fell off and WSU lost four out of five games

A move by first-year Coach Ralph Underhill to insert junior Bill Wilshyson at guard and move senior Bob Cook to forward in place of Schaefer got the Raiders off and running WSU ran off six-straight wins including key games at Northern Kentucky and Bellarrnine as well as home games with Eastern Illinois and Division I Cleveland State

The game at Northern Kentucky marked one the more remarkable turnarounds The Raiders trailed NKU last years top team in the Great Lakes region by 13 points at NKU However 20 straight points midway through the second half vaulted the Raiders to an easy 80-63 victory in Regents Hall

After Schaefers injury balanced scoring took over with five players hitting in double figures Schaefer who sprained an ankle late in the season led the learn with a 139 average followed by Jimmie Carter (131) Eddie Crowe (130) Bob Cook (102) and Bill Wilson (99)

Wright State closed out the season as a top 15 team in the Division II poll but a few close games could have meant a top five team The Raiders dropped three overtime games (WSU had a chance to win all three with the final shot in regulation time) and another by four on their home court after leading by 19

Tournament play is no stranger to Coach Ralph Underhill who was on the staff at Tennessee-Chattanooga when the Moes were in the championship finals two straight years winning it all under Coach Ron Shumate in 1977

Collegiate athletic voice

NCAA serves nations schools Progress and growth have become

familiar companions for the National Collegiate Athletic Association during its first 73 years as the major governshying organization for intercollegiate athletics in the United States

A call for stricter control of college football by President Theodore Rooseshyvelt because of the violence in the game brought together 13 institutions in 1905 formulating the original comshymunications base for college athletics

This initial body called itself the Intercollegiate Athletic Association and was officially constituted March 31 1906 In 1910 the name was changed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association

Seven progressive decades have molded this original 13-member body into a membership today of more than 860 colleges universities conferences and affiliated organizations

Administration and rules interpreshytation occupied early efforts of the organization Shortly after World War II the NCAA adopted legislative and executive powers changing its funcshytion into one dealing with virtually all issues concerned with intercollegiate athletics Service first

Many things have become associatshyed with the NCAA during its colorful history Highest priority goes to the service it provides to more than 860 members acting as the true voice of college athletics today

Each January the NCAA membershyship comes together at the annual Convention to review propose and amend legislation The Convention presents the opportunity for the nashytions institutions ofhigher learning to speak and act on athletic matters at the national level

Great Lakes Field A Well-Balanced One If this four-team field which starts play on Friday night at Wright State University could be any closer matched find one somewhere else in the country The closeness of competition between Eastern Illinois Northshyern Michigan St Josephs and Wright State is remarkable

During regular-season competition Eastern Illinois met all three tournament teams and split with all three The same goes for Northern

A Look at the Teams Eastern Illinois Coach Don Eddy is taking his Panther basketball team into its fifth straight NCAA Division II appearance Along the way EIU garnered two third place finishes (1976 and 1978) along with two regional championshyships

A late-season surge almost has become a tradition for Eastern and this year was no exception After being ranked as high as sixth in Divishysion II in early January EIU lost four games in seven outings all corning on the road against Northern Iowa Northern Michigan Quincy and Wright State

From there it was off and running for Eastern winning four of its next five games with only a one-point loss in overtime at St Joes thrown in Included in the final four wins were impressive victories over Northern Michigan (82-64) Northern Iowa (71-67) and Butler (88-74)

Junior Craig DeWitt put together an outstanding season with a 163 scoring average along with 7 2 rebounds both team highs Except for an early season bout with mononucleosis DeWitt was the most consistent scorer for the Panthers and set a new team record with 35 points against Rose-Hu Iman

The only other player in double figures for EIU was sophomore Dennis Mumford with a 123 average His 63 rebounds were secondshybest His best game was a 24-point 12-rebound performance in a 79-72 win over Wright State

The other two probable starters for the Charleston Illinois team are Mike Pickens at guard and Jim Williams at forward Coach Eddy has used numerous other guard combinations but Dave LeTourneau has been a starter most recently A total of 12 different players have started for the Panthers this season

Northern Michigan Northern Michigan is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II basketball tournament The Wildcats made their presence known in the second game of the season when they dropped a two-point overtime game to powerful Detroit in the Motor City

Balanced scoring has been the key to the Cats success this year with seven different players taking game scoring honors Junior Randy Jenkins (144 ppg) and sophomore Mark Mindernan (107 ppg) are the only double figure scorers Five others are 60 or above Dave Thorpe Immanuel West Chuck Vercoe Gregg Upton and Dave Meinert

A nine-game winning streak earned NMU a 6 ranking in the Division II poll Included in those games were wins over Northern Iowa Eastern Ilshylinois Western Illinois and Wisconsin-Green Bay As a matter of fact NMU took two of three games against UW-Green Bay a tourney team in the North Central region

One of the hottest scorers during the nine-game winning streak was Mindeman who led the Cats in four straight games with an average of 233 per game His high was 30 at Youngstown State

Shooting is a strength for Coach Glenn Browns team His charges are shooting 757 percent from the line and 488 from the field Marty Thallmans 888 free throw percentage is among the best in the nation NMU has been among the national leaders in free throw percentage throughout the season

A look down the Wildcat roster indicates that next season could be even better with only one senior among the top seven scorers

St Josephs The Pumas are making their second straight appearance in the Great Lakes Regional and their sixth NCAA appearance overall

Michigan against only Eastern Illinois St Joes split both with Eastern and Wright State while Wright State split with Eastern and St Joes The lone road victories came in the St Joes-Wright State series trading road victories

Winning on the road has been a key for Coach George Waggoners team with an 8-4 mark on foreign courts Included were four straight wins to close out the road schedule all against tournament contenders Indiana State-Evansville Kentucky Wesleyan Indiana Central and Wright State

Leading the way for the Pumas has been senior Dave Downey with his 176 scoring average and 117 rebound average 15th in Division II The 6-8 frontliner has been described by many coaches as the best big man in the Great Lakes region and one of the premier men in the nation His singleshygame highs this season were 32 points against both Grace and Butler

St Joes might termed a giant-killer SJC knocked off Division I teams in three out of four tries going into the season-finale at Evansville last Tuesday The Rensselaer team looked like a sure-fire tournament team when it rolled off five straight wins to open the season but losses in four of the next five left the Pumas reeling

Most of the problems came about with a shoulder injury to Dave Dowshyney in a 103-85 loss at Eastern Illinois Although he recovered from the shoulder injury he later broke a bone in his left hand but he continued to play and maintain his scoring leadership

Other veteran players for St Joes include seniors Kevin Sims (151 ppg) and Tony Smith (63 ppg) along with sophomores Gerald Kates (120 ppg) and Neil Brown (106 ppg)

Strong rebounding has propel led the Pumas to an 18-8 record (with one regular-season game left) They hold a 468 to 377 margin on the backboards which would rank as one of the best in Division II

Wright State An 8-1 start in December including a 64-63 win over Division I Miami earned Wright State the highest ranking ever given a Great Lakes team in the Division II poll fourth

It was an injury to senior Bob Schaefer in an 89-82 key win over Central State which started to put the Raiders in a tailspin Although he continued to play most of the time his scoring output drastically fell off and WSU lost four out of five games

A move by first-year Coach Ralph Underhill to insert junior Bill Wilshyson at guard and move senior Bob Cook to forward in place of Schaefer got the Raiders off and running WSU ran off six-straight wins including key games at Northern Kentucky and Bellarrnine as well as home games with Eastern Illinois and Division I Cleveland State

The game at Northern Kentucky marked one the more remarkable turnarounds The Raiders trailed NKU last years top team in the Great Lakes region by 13 points at NKU However 20 straight points midway through the second half vaulted the Raiders to an easy 80-63 victory in Regents Hall

After Schaefers injury balanced scoring took over with five players hitting in double figures Schaefer who sprained an ankle late in the season led the learn with a 139 average followed by Jimmie Carter (131) Eddie Crowe (130) Bob Cook (102) and Bill Wilson (99)

Wright State closed out the season as a top 15 team in the Division II poll but a few close games could have meant a top five team The Raiders dropped three overtime games (WSU had a chance to win all three with the final shot in regulation time) and another by four on their home court after leading by 19

Tournament play is no stranger to Coach Ralph Underhill who was on the staff at Tennessee-Chattanooga when the Moes were in the championship finals two straight years winning it all under Coach Ron Shumate in 1977

Ratings and Division II Poll

Weekly national basketball ratings for National Collegiate Athletic Asshysociation Division II institutions sponsoring intercollegiate basketball were conducted by the NCAA this season for the fourth year

Members of the Division II voting board included Martin Don Leahy University of Nebraska-Omaha Floyd Walker Central Missouri State University Tom Niland LeMoyne College Howard Davis Tuskegee Institute Paul Rundell San Francisco State University and advisory committee chairmen Edward Markey St middotMichaels College and Don Mohr Wright State University

National conference calls were conducted every Tuesday to rank the teams The NCAA national office then informed the Associated Press and the United Press International of the ratings which were released on Wednesday

Collegiate athletic voice

NCAA serves nations schools Progress and growth have become

familiar companions for the National Collegiate Athletic Association during its first 73 years as the major governshying organization for intercollegiate athletics in the United States

This initial body called itself the Intercollegiate Athletic Association and was officially constituted March 31 1906 In 1910 the name was changed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association

Seven progressive decades have molded this original 13-member body into a membership today of more than 860 colleges universities conferences and affiliated organizations

Administration and rules interpreshytation occupied early efforts of the organization Shortly after World War II the NCAA adopted legislative and executive powers changing its funcshytion into one dealing with virtually all issues concerned with intercollegiate athletics Service first

Many things have become associatshyed with the NCAA during its colorful history Highest priority goes to the service it provides to more than 860 members acting as the true voice of college athletics today

Each January the NCAA membershyship comes together at the annual Convention to review propose and amend legislation The Convention presents the opportunity for the nashytions institutions ofhigher learning to speak and act on athletic matters at the national level

Great Lakes Field A Well-Balanced One If this four-team field which starts play on Friday night at Wright State University could be any closer matched find one somewhere else in the country The closeness of competition between Eastern Illinois Northshyern Michigan St Josephs and Wright State is remarkable

During regular-season competition Eastern Illinois met all three tournament teams and split with all three The same goes for Northern

A Look at the Teams Eastern Illinois Coach Don Eddy is taking his Panther basketball team into its fifth straight NCAA Division II appearance Along the way EIU garnered two third place finishes (1976 and 1978) along with two regional championshyships

A late-season surge almost has become a tradition for Eastern and this year was no exception After being ranked as high as sixth in Divishysion II in early January EIU lost four games in seven outings all corning on the road against Northern Iowa Northern Michigan Quincy and Wright State

From there it was off and running for Eastern winning four of its next five games with only a one-point loss in overtime at St Joes thrown in Included in the final four wins were impressive victories over Northern Michigan (82-64) Northern Iowa (71-67) and Butler (88-74)

Junior Craig DeWitt put together an outstanding season with a 163 scoring average along with 7 2 rebounds both team highs Except for an early season bout with mononucleosis DeWitt was the most consistent scorer for the Panthers and set a new team record with 35 points against Rose-Hu Iman

The only other player in double figures for EIU was sophomore Dennis Mumford with a 123 average His 63 rebounds were secondshybest His best game was a 24-point 12-rebound performance in a 79-72 win over Wright State

The other two probable starters for the Charleston Illinois team are Mike Pickens at guard and Jim Williams at forward Coach Eddy has used numerous other guard combinations but Dave LeTourneau has been a starter most recently A total of 12 different players have started for the Panthers this season

Northern Michigan Northern Michigan is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II basketball tournament The Wildcats made their presence known in the second game of the season when they dropped a two-point overtime game to powerful Detroit in the Motor City

Balanced scoring has been the key to the Cats success this year with seven different players taking game scoring honors Junior Randy Jenkins (144 ppg) and sophomore Mark Mindernan (107 ppg) are the only double figure scorers Five others are 60 or above Dave Thorpe Immanuel West Chuck Vercoe Gregg Upton and Dave Meinert

A nine-game winning streak earned NMU a 6 ranking in the Division II poll Included in those games were wins over Northern Iowa Eastern Ilshylinois Western Illinois and Wisconsin-Green Bay As a matter of fact NMU took two of three games against UW-Green Bay a tourney team in the North Central region

One of the hottest scorers during the nine-game winning streak was Mindeman who led the Cats in four straight games with an average of 233 per game His high was 30 at Youngstown State

Shooting is a strength for Coach Glenn Browns team His charges are shooting 757 percent from the line and 488 from the field Marty Thallmans 888 free throw percentage is among the best in the nation NMU has been among the national leaders in free throw percentage throughout the season

A look down the Wildcat roster indicates that next season could be even better with only one senior among the top seven scorers

St Josephs The Pumas are making their second straight appearance in the Great Lakes Regional and their sixth NCAA appearance overall

Michigan against only Eastern Illinois St Joes split both with Eastern and Wright State while Wright State split with Eastern and St Joes The lone road victories came in the St Joes-Wright State series trading road victories

Winning on the road has been a key for Coach George Waggoners team with an 8-4 mark on foreign courts Included were four straight wins to close out the road schedule all against tournament contenders Indiana State-Evansville Kentucky Wesleyan Indiana Central and Wright State

Leading the way for the Pumas has been senior Dave Downey with his 176 scoring average and 117 rebound average 15th in Division II The 6-8 frontliner has been described by many coaches as the best big man in the Great Lakes region and one of the premier men in the nation His singleshygame highs this season were 32 points against both Grace and Butler

St Joes might termed a giant-killer SJC knocked off Division I teams in three out of four tries going into the season-finale at Evansville last Tuesday The Rensselaer team looked like a sure-fire tournament team when it rolled off five straight wins to open the season but losses in four of the next five left the Pumas reeling

Most of the problems came about with a shoulder injury to Dave Dowshyney in a 103-85 loss at Eastern Illinois Although he recovered from the shoulder injury he later broke a bone in his left hand but he continued to play and maintain his scoring leadership

Other veteran players for St Joes include seniors Kevin Sims (151 ppg) and Tony Smith (63 ppg) along with sophomores Gerald Kates (120 ppg) and Neil Brown (106 ppg)

Strong rebounding has propel led the Pumas to an 18-8 record (with one regular-season game left) They hold a 468 to 377 margin on the backboards which would rank as one of the best in Division II

Wright State An 8-1 start in December including a 64-63 win over Division I Miami earned Wright State the highest ranking ever given a Great Lakes team in the Division II poll fourth

It was an injury to senior Bob Schaefer in an 89-82 key win over Central State which started to put the Raiders in a tailspin Although he continued to play most of the time his scoring output drastically fell off and WSU lost four out of five games

A move by first-year Coach Ralph Underhill to insert junior Bill Wilshyson at guard and move senior Bob Cook to forward in place of Schaefer got the Raiders off and running WSU ran off six-straight wins including key games at Northern Kentucky and Bellarrnine as well as home games with Eastern Illinois and Division I Cleveland State

The game at Northern Kentucky marked one the more remarkable turnarounds The Raiders trailed NKU last years top team in the Great Lakes region by 13 points at NKU However 20 straight points midway through the second half vaulted the Raiders to an easy 80-63 victory in Regents Hall

After Schaefers injury balanced scoring took over with five players hitting in double figures Schaefer who sprained an ankle late in the season led the learn with a 139 average followed by Jimmie Carter (131) Eddie Crowe (130) Bob Cook (102) and Bill Wilson (99)

Wright State closed out the season as a top 15 team in the Division II poll but a few close games could have meant a top five team The Raiders dropped three overtime games (WSU had a chance to win all three with the final shot in regulation time) and another by four on their home court after leading by 19

Tournament play is no stranger to Coach Ralph Underhill who was on the staff at Tennessee-Chattanooga when the Moes were in the championship finals two straight years winning it all under Coach Ron Shumate in 1977

Ratings and Division II Poll

Weekly national basketball ratings for National Collegiate Athletic Asshysociation Division II institutions sponsoring intercollegiate basketball were conducted by the NCAA this season for the fourth year

The top teams in the eight regions were ranked by the eight regional voters who included the NCAA Division II committee and the advisory committee chairmen from the two regions not represented on the comshymittee Additionally the voting board was assisted by regional advisory committees which involved 36 individuals in Division II Teams were rated according to their won-lost records and strength of schedules

With the assistance of the advisory committees the voters reshyceived thorough reports on all teams said Division II committee chairshyman Thomas J Martin Roanoke (Va) College

Members of the Division II voting board included Martin Don Leahy University of Nebraska-Omaha Floyd Walker Central Missouri State University Tom Niland LeMoyne College Howard Davis Tuskegee Institute Paul Rundell San Francisco State University and advisory committee chairmen Edward Markey St middotMichaels College and Don Mohr Wright State University

National conference calls were conducted every Tuesday to rank the teams The NCAA national office then informed the Associated Press and the United Press International of the ratings which were released on Wednesday

Collegiate athletic voice

NCAA serves nations schools Progress and growth have become

familiar companions for the National Collegiate Athletic Association during its first 73 years as the major governshying organization for intercollegiate athletics in the United States

A call for stricter control of college football by President Theodore Rooseshyvelt because of the violence in the game brought together 13 institutions in 1905 formulating the original comshymunications base for college athletics

This initial body called itself the Intercollegiate Athletic Association and was officially constituted March 31 1906 In 1910 the name was changed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association

Seven progressive decades have molded this original 13-member body into a membership today of more than 860 colleges universities conferences and affiliated organizations

Administration and rules interpreshytation occupied early efforts of the organization Shortly after World War II the NCAA adopted legislative and executive powers changing its funcshytion into one dealing with virtually all issues concerned with intercollegiate athletics Service first

Many things have become associatshyed with the NCAA during its colorful history Highest priority goes to the service it provides to more than 860 members acting as the true voice of college athletics today

Each January the NCAA membershyship comes together at the annual Convention to review propose and amend legislation The Convention presents the opportunity for the nashytions institutions ofhigher learning to speak and act on athletic matters at the national level

Great Lakes Field A Well-Balanced One If this four-team field which starts play on Friday night at Wright State University could be any closer matched find one somewhere else in the country The closeness of competition between Eastern Illinois Northshyern Michigan St Josephs and Wright State is remarkable

During regular-season competition Eastern Illinois met all three tournament teams and split with all three The same goes for Northern

A Look at the Teams Eastern Illinois Coach Don Eddy is taking his Panther basketball team into its fifth straight NCAA Division II appearance Along the way EIU garnered two third place finishes (1976 and 1978) along with two regional championshyships

A late-season surge almost has become a tradition for Eastern and this year was no exception After being ranked as high as sixth in Divishysion II in early January EIU lost four games in seven outings all corning on the road against Northern Iowa Northern Michigan Quincy and Wright State

From there it was off and running for Eastern winning four of its next five games with only a one-point loss in overtime at St Joes thrown in Included in the final four wins were impressive victories over Northern Michigan (82-64) Northern Iowa (71-67) and Butler (88-74)

Junior Craig DeWitt put together an outstanding season with a 163 scoring average along with 7 2 rebounds both team highs Except for an early season bout with mononucleosis DeWitt was the most consistent scorer for the Panthers and set a new team record with 35 points against Rose-Hu Iman

The only other player in double figures for EIU was sophomore Dennis Mumford with a 123 average His 63 rebounds were secondshybest His best game was a 24-point 12-rebound performance in a 79-72 win over Wright State

The other two probable starters for the Charleston Illinois team are Mike Pickens at guard and Jim Williams at forward Coach Eddy has used numerous other guard combinations but Dave LeTourneau has been a starter most recently A total of 12 different players have started for the Panthers this season

Northern Michigan Northern Michigan is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II basketball tournament The Wildcats made their presence known in the second game of the season when they dropped a two-point overtime game to powerful Detroit in the Motor City

Balanced scoring has been the key to the Cats success this year with seven different players taking game scoring honors Junior Randy Jenkins (144 ppg) and sophomore Mark Mindernan (107 ppg) are the only double figure scorers Five others are 60 or above Dave Thorpe Immanuel West Chuck Vercoe Gregg Upton and Dave Meinert

A nine-game winning streak earned NMU a 6 ranking in the Division II poll Included in those games were wins over Northern Iowa Eastern Ilshylinois Western Illinois and Wisconsin-Green Bay As a matter of fact NMU took two of three games against UW-Green Bay a tourney team in the North Central region

One of the hottest scorers during the nine-game winning streak was Mindeman who led the Cats in four straight games with an average of 233 per game His high was 30 at Youngstown State

Shooting is a strength for Coach Glenn Browns team His charges are shooting 757 percent from the line and 488 from the field Marty Thallmans 888 free throw percentage is among the best in the nation NMU has been among the national leaders in free throw percentage throughout the season

A look down the Wildcat roster indicates that next season could be even better with only one senior among the top seven scorers

St Josephs The Pumas are making their second straight appearance in the Great Lakes Regional and their sixth NCAA appearance overall

Michigan against only Eastern Illinois St Joes split both with Eastern and Wright State while Wright State split with Eastern and St Joes The lone road victories came in the St Joes-Wright State series trading road victories

Winning on the road has been a key for Coach George Waggoners team with an 8-4 mark on foreign courts Included were four straight wins to close out the road schedule all against tournament contenders Indiana State-Evansville Kentucky Wesleyan Indiana Central and Wright State

Leading the way for the Pumas has been senior Dave Downey with his 176 scoring average and 117 rebound average 15th in Division II The 6-8 frontliner has been described by many coaches as the best big man in the Great Lakes region and one of the premier men in the nation His singleshygame highs this season were 32 points against both Grace and Butler

St Joes might termed a giant-killer SJC knocked off Division I teams in three out of four tries going into the season-finale at Evansville last Tuesday The Rensselaer team looked like a sure-fire tournament team when it rolled off five straight wins to open the season but losses in four of the next five left the Pumas reeling

Most of the problems came about with a shoulder injury to Dave Dowshyney in a 103-85 loss at Eastern Illinois Although he recovered from the shoulder injury he later broke a bone in his left hand but he continued to play and maintain his scoring leadership

Other veteran players for St Joes include seniors Kevin Sims (151 ppg) and Tony Smith (63 ppg) along with sophomores Gerald Kates (120 ppg) and Neil Brown (106 ppg)

Strong rebounding has propel led the Pumas to an 18-8 record (with one regular-season game left) They hold a 468 to 377 margin on the backboards which would rank as one of the best in Division II

Wright State An 8-1 start in December including a 64-63 win over Division I Miami earned Wright State the highest ranking ever given a Great Lakes team in the Division II poll fourth

It was an injury to senior Bob Schaefer in an 89-82 key win over Central State which started to put the Raiders in a tailspin Although he continued to play most of the time his scoring output drastically fell off and WSU lost four out of five games

A move by first-year Coach Ralph Underhill to insert junior Bill Wilshyson at guard and move senior Bob Cook to forward in place of Schaefer got the Raiders off and running WSU ran off six-straight wins including key games at Northern Kentucky and Bellarrnine as well as home games with Eastern Illinois and Division I Cleveland State

The game at Northern Kentucky marked one the more remarkable turnarounds The Raiders trailed NKU last years top team in the Great Lakes region by 13 points at NKU However 20 straight points midway through the second half vaulted the Raiders to an easy 80-63 victory in Regents Hall

After Schaefers injury balanced scoring took over with five players hitting in double figures Schaefer who sprained an ankle late in the season led the learn with a 139 average followed by Jimmie Carter (131) Eddie Crowe (130) Bob Cook (102) and Bill Wilson (99)

Wright State closed out the season as a top 15 team in the Division II poll but a few close games could have meant a top five team The Raiders dropped three overtime games (WSU had a chance to win all three with the final shot in regulation time) and another by four on their home court after leading by 19

Tournament play is no stranger to Coach Ralph Underhill who was on the staff at Tennessee-Chattanooga when the Moes were in the championship finals two straight years winning it all under Coach Ron Shumate in 1977

Ratings and Division II Poll

Weekly national basketball ratings for National Collegiate Athletic Asshysociation Division II institutions sponsoring intercollegiate basketball were conducted by the NCAA this season for the fourth year

The top teams in the eight regions were ranked by the eight regional voters who included the NCAA Division II committee and the advisory committee chairmen from the two regions not represented on the comshymittee Additionally the voting board was assisted by regional advisory committees which involved 36 individuals in Division II Teams were rated according to their won-lost records and strength of schedules

With the assistance of the advisory committees the voters reshyceived thorough reports on all teams said Division II committee chairshyman Thomas J Martin Roanoke (Va) College

Members of the Division II voting board included Martin Don Leahy University of Nebraska-Omaha Floyd Walker Central Missouri State University Tom Niland LeMoyne College Howard Davis Tuskegee Institute Paul Rundell San Francisco State University and advisory committee chairmen Edward Markey St middotMichaels College and Don Mohr Wright State University

National conference calls were conducted every Tuesday to rank the teams The NCAA national office then informed the Associated Press and the United Press International of the ratings which were released on Wednesday

familiar companions for the National Collegiate Athletic Association during its first 73 years as the major governshying organization for intercollegiate athletics in the United States

A call for stricter control of college football by President Theodore Rooseshyvelt because of the violence in the game brought together 13 institutions in 1905 formulating the original comshymunications base for college athletics

This initial body called itself the Intercollegiate Athletic Association and was officially constituted March 31 1906 In 1910 the name was changed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association

Seven progressive decades have molded this original 13-member body into a membership today of more than 860 colleges universities conferences and affiliated organizations

Administration and rules interpreshytation occupied early efforts of the organization Shortly after World War II the NCAA adopted legislative and executive powers changing its funcshytion into one dealing with virtually all issues concerned with intercollegiate athletics Service first

Many things have become associatshyed with the NCAA during its colorful history Highest priority goes to the service it provides to more than 860 members acting as the true voice of college athletics today

Each January the NCAA membershyship comes together at the annual Convention to review propose and amend legislation The Convention presents the opportunity for the nashytions institutions ofhigher learning to speak and act on athletic matters at the national level

Ratings and Division II Poll

Weekly national basketball ratings for National Collegiate Athletic Asshysociation Division II institutions sponsoring intercollegiate basketball were conducted by the NCAA this season for the fourth year

The top teams in the eight regions were ranked by the eight regional voters who included the NCAA Division II committee and the advisory committee chairmen from the two regions not represented on the comshymittee Additionally the voting board was assisted by regional advisory committees which involved 36 individuals in Division II Teams were rated according to their won-lost records and strength of schedules

With the assistance of the advisory committees the voters reshyceived thorough reports on all teams said Division II committee chairshyman Thomas J Martin Roanoke (Va) College

Members of the Division II voting board included Martin Don Leahy University of Nebraska-Omaha Floyd Walker Central Missouri State University Tom Niland LeMoyne College Howard Davis Tuskegee Institute Paul Rundell San Francisco State University and advisory committee chairmen Edward Markey St middotMichaels College and Don Mohr Wright State University

National conference calls were conducted every Tuesday to rank the teams The NCAA national office then informed the Associated Press and the United Press International of the ratings which were released on Wednesday

The poll was published in the NCAA Statistics Services weekly basketball statistics releases These releases were sent to NCAA Divishysion II institutions sponsoring basketball the hometown newspaper where the institutions are located and the major newspapers throughout the country

The NCAA goal is to have the ratings accepted in all areas in which there is an interest in Division II basketball said NCAA Director of Events Jerry Miles and we believe the polls are providing greater atshytention and exposure for Division II basketball

Collegiate athletic voice

NCAA serves nations schools Progress and growth have become

familiar companions for the National Collegiate Athletic Association during its first 73 years as the major governshying organization for intercollegiate athletics in the United States

A call for stricter control of college football by President Theodore Rooseshyvelt because of the violence in the game brought together 13 institutions in 1905 formulating the original comshymunications base for college athletics

This initial body called itself the Intercollegiate Athletic Association and was officially constituted March 31 1906 In 1910 the name was changed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association

Seven progressive decades have molded this original 13-member body into a membership today of more than 860 colleges universities conferences and affiliated organizations

Administration and rules interpreshytation occupied early efforts of the organization Shortly after World War II the NCAA adopted legislative and executive powers changing its funcshytion into one dealing with virtually all issues concerned with intercollegiate athletics Service first

Many things have become associatshyed with the NCAA during its colorful history Highest priority goes to the service it provides to more than 860 members acting as the true voice of college athletics today

Each January the NCAA membershyship comes together at the annual Convention to review propose and amend legislation The Convention presents the opportunity for the nashytions institutions ofhigher learning to speak and act on athletic matters at the national level

Collegiate athletic voice

NCAA serves nations schools Progress and growth have become

familiar companions for the National Collegiate Athletic Association during its first 73 years as the major governshying organization for intercollegiate athletics in the United States

A call for stricter control of college football by President Theodore Rooseshyvelt because of the violence in the game brought together 13 institutions in 1905 formulating the original comshymunications base for college athletics

This initial body called itself the Intercollegiate Athletic Association and was officially constituted March 31 1906 In 1910 the name was changed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association

Seven progressive decades have molded this original 13-member body into a membership today of more than 860 colleges universities conferences and affiliated organizations

Administration and rules interpreshytation occupied early efforts of the organization Shortly after World War II the NCAA adopted legislative and executive powers changing its funcshytion into one dealing with virtually all issues concerned with intercollegiate athletics Service first

Many things have become associatshyed with the NCAA during its colorful history Highest priority goes to the service it provides to more than 860 members acting as the true voice of college athletics today

Each January the NCAA membershyship comes together at the annual Convention to review propose and amend legislation The Convention presents the opportunity for the nashytions institutions ofhigher learning to speak and act on athletic matters at the national level
