In continuing its quest to build
a Big Eight title winning season,
the OU men’s tennis team swept

“The biggest indication of
Alonzo’s season was what he
did with six freshmen and six
sophomores with him,” George-
town coach John Thompson
said. “His greatness makes oth-
er players better. I feel great a
player who made the sacrifices
he did was honored and I’m ap-
preciative it was by someone
other than John Thompson.”
LSU’s four-year run with an
All-American leaves the school
one season shy of matching the
record set by UCLA from 1971-
75. The Bruins did not have a
first-team selection in 1976 and
then had at least one for the
next three seasons.
Maryland guaiid Walt Wil-
liams led the second team and
was joined in the backcourt by
Missouri’s Anthony Peeler. The
frontcourt was Byron Houston
of Oklahoma State, Don Ma-
cLean of UCLA and Adam
Keefe of Stanford.
Arkansas teammates Todd
Day, a forward, and Lee May-
berry, a guard, along with Duke
guard Bobby Hurley and for-
wards Malik Sealy of St. John s,
and Calbert Cheaney of Indiana
made the third team.

Duke can now try to do what
UNLV couldn’t last year - run
the season as No. 1 and defend its
national championship.
The Blue Devils were ranked
No. 1 in the preseason and stayed [
there through Monday’s 17th and i
final regular-season voting, while i
OU climbed one notch to No. 23.
Last season UNLV was able to
do the same thing, and like Duke
this season, was the defending
champion. UNLV’s only problem i
was Duke, which beat the Run- |
nin’ Rebels in the national I
semifinals.
The last team to go No. 1 start
to finish and win the national I
championship was Indiana in
1976, the last team to go unbeat- j
en, something UNLV missed last I
season by that one game.
Duke is followed in the latest
voting of a national panel of
sports writers and broadcasters by
the other three No. 1 seeds in the 1
upcoming NCAA tournament — I
Kansas, Ohio State and UCLA. |
The Blue Devils (28-2), the top
seed in the East, received 64 of 65 j
first-place votes and 1,624 points j
to easily beat the Midwest’s top
seed, Kansas (26-4), which had |
1,543 points. I
Ohio State (23-5), the top seed
in the Southeast, had 1,461 and
was followed by UCLA (25-4),
the West’s No. 1, which had
1,390. Both teams won the two
major conferences which don t
have postseason tournaments —
the Big Ten and Pac-10 - on the
final weekend of competition.
Indiana (23-6) dropped one
spot to fifth and was followed in
the Top Ten by Kentucky (26-6),
UNLV (26-2), Southern Cal (23-
5), Arkansas (25-7) and Arizona
(24-6).
UNLV is the only member of
the final poll not going to the
NCAA tournament. The Runnin’
Rebels, who received the other
first-place vote, are ineligible for
the postseason because of sanc-
tions as part of the settlement of
a 12-year battle between recently
resigned coach Jerry Tarkanian
and the NCAA.
Oklahoma State (26-7) started
the Second Ten and was followed
by Cincinnati, Alabama, Michi-
gan State, Michigan, Missouri,
Massachusetts, North Carolina,
Seton Hall and Florida State.
The final five were Syracuse,
Georgetown, OU, DePaul and
LSU.
The only team to drop out of
last week’s rankings was St.
John’s (19-10), which had been
25th and lost in the semifinals of
the Big East tournament.
Big East champion Syracuse
(21-9) returned to the poll at No.
21 after a one-week absence.
Arizona had the week’s biggest
drop, fall from second to 10th af-
ter losing games to UCLA and
