Hurting Joints
Courage's fine play at both
ends of the floor had keyed the
Tribe's first-half play, leading
W&M to leads as large as 28-20.
He ended the game with 21
points, 11 rebounds and two
sore unar-radial joints.
Freshman Mark Arizin
added 18 points to the Indian
cause and soph guard Tom
Pfingst chipped in 13 more.
The excellent defensive job
Pfingst turned in or Parkhill
was in no small measure
responsible for the rough night
endured by Barry.
Getting back to Mr.
Ashnault, he ended his news
conference by praising Walker
and Hobgood but mentioned
that "poor rebounding" by
Virginia kept his club in the
game.
This might seem a curious
assumption considering the
37-34 rebounding edge enjoyed
by the Cavs over the taller
Indians but Mr. Ashnault
explained that "We're not
really a good rebounding ball
club. We need to work on that
as well as on passing and
defense. I'm not disappointed
with the game. There are just
some things I can't ask this
bunch of kids to do."
If William & Mary has
problems on passing and
defense the Cavs apparently do
not. Both were at a premium
for Virginia with special
attention demanded by the
play of Hobgood, Drummond
and McKeag. Together, the
three combined for some fine
defensive work and ten of the
team's 15 assists.
