Cagers drop to last
Graves' 23-point effort not enough against UMass
By ANDRIJA SILICH
Collegian Sports Writer
Despite a career-high 23 points by
Terry Graves, 17 of which came in the
second half, and a strong perfor
mance by David Griffin (18 points),
the men's basketball team bowed to
the Massachusetts Minutemen 88-81
Saturday night at Curry Hicks Cage
in Amherst, Mass.
The loss marks the ninth straight
for the Lions and their seventh
straight in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Penn State, which had a record of 5-6
overall and 3-2 in the division just a
few weeks ago, now owns sole posi
tion of last place in the Atlantic 10
with a 3-9 record. It also boasts the
worst overall record (5-15) among
Atlantic Ten teams.
UMass is not a basketball power
house itself, however. The Minute
men were 8-11 overall and 4-7 in the
conference going into the game and
with a victory, Penn State could have
pulled into a tie for ninth place with
them.
The Lions never led in this game,
however, and as in so many other
games in this long streak they put
themselves' in the hole in the first
half. Penn State's second half effort
for a comeback fell short again.
This time it was the inside game
that got the Lions in trouble. The
UMass front line (which consisted of
Edwin Green, John Hemple and Ho
race Neysmith) outscored the four

players from Penn State's frontline,
(Graves, Griffin, Dick Mumma, Mar
shall Grier) by a 28-16 count.
In addition to the UMass domina
tion underneath the basket, the Lions
were victims of their usual blunders
turnovers and poor rebounding.
Penn State turned the ball, over 13
times in the first half alone. Head
Coach Bruce Parkhill felt that was
the worst• of all the evils in the first
twenty minutes of play.
"In the first half, our main prob
lems were on offense," he said. "We
couldn't run our offense, we were
turning the ball over too much, we
were impatient. And the results were
they scored probably 10 points on fast
break baskets off turnovers."
UMass outrebounded Penn State
22-15 in the first half. But even more
alarming, however, was the fact that
6-10 Dick Mumma had no rebounds in
the first half for the Lions.
Parkhill said the rebounding, or
lack of it, by Penn State made things
that much worse because the Minute
men were getting second and third
chances when their first shots didn't
go in.
All these factors combined to give
the Minutemen a 48-35 lead at the half
and it looked as if that margin would
remain as large throughout the
game.
The Lions trailed by 13 or more The Lions trailed by five 86-81, with
points for more than 15 minutes in the 13 seconds left but UMass connected
second half. With just 5:36 remaining on two free throws and sealed the
the Minutemen boosted their lead to victory 88-81.

17 points 78-61.
But that's when then the UMass
domination ended. Things started to
go sour for the Minutemen and Penn
State slowly found itself with a
chance to win the game.
With six minutes left in the contest
Neysmith fouled out for the Minute
men. Green, who had 10 points in the
first half and finished the game with
16 points, 14 rebounds, and four
blocked shots, cooled off significantly
near the end of the second half.
On the otherside of the court things
started to look good and Penn State
was getting hot. Graves went on his
scoring rampage in the second half
and also finished with six rebounds.
Other factors began to contribute to
the Lion comeback and before long
(1:06 remaining) they only trailed by
five 82-77. UMass got into foul-trou
ble, the Lions began to rebound (Jim
Forjan came off the bench to grab 10
and Penn State outrebounded UMass
44-41 overall despite the unproductive
first half) and when given the oppur
tunity to put the game out of reach
UMass foul shooters missed.
In the end, however, Penn State ran
out of ticks on the clock. Given anoth
er two or three minutes they might
have pulled this one off, but in the
books it just goes down as another
loss.
