The Blue Demons, the top-seeded team in the Midwest regional, Sunday afternoon will face the winner of tonight 7:10 game matching Illinois Stte and Alabama. "It's a very difficult draw for DePaul and Ray Meyer " Packer said. "Fresno State for Houston or St. John's for North Carolina, if they win, miht be 3 incoln for DePaul 'appearance llv) IzicO U (y jvT iJ INDEPENDENT SPECIALISTS, INC, Weekdays 7:C0 em-6:C3 psn tough. But DePaul has a history of having problems in their opening games." Packer said the hoopla surrounding the retire ment of Meyer and his final NCAA appearance may be a detriment to DePaul. Meyer's team will be trying to win his first national championship in 40 years of coaching at the Chi cago school. Packer and Gary Bender, CBS' play-by-play man, will be in Lincoln to broadcast Sunday's double header at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

Friday's game with Alabama matches "two different types of teams." Alabama: They have stronger players. They are . very patient and control the tempo." Alcorn State: "I don't know, because I havent seen them play this season." Kansas: There couldn't have been much differ ence between seeding Wake Forest fourth and Kansas" Wake Forest: Their excellent backcourt has played together for a long time. They aren't a good rebounding team, with the exception of Anthony Teach ey." Packer said Georgetown is his pick to win the 53-team tournament. "I like their chances in that (West) regional," Packer said. "I like the way Georgetown has been playing lately. I'd pick them today." Packer and fellow NBC analyst Al McGuire team ed up to provide preseason predictions for Inside Sports magazine. "I don't have my picks in front of me," Packer said in a telephone interview from Salt Lake City, "but I think the season has gone pretty true to form." "I think Al and I had Kentucky, Georgetown, North Carolina, Houston and Memphis State as our top five teams. Memphis State would be among the top seeds if it hadn't had some midseason injuries." Memphis State is seeded sixth in the Midwest regional. "I've seen all the teams at (the sub-) regional except for Alcorn State," Packer said. "I know the teams and their styles, and 111 review the cards I have made up on them."

Whitney said the makeup and style of play of Kansas is different from the Kansas team the Braves met the last two seasons. Kansas has one advantage over Al corn in that they were able to scout the Braves. Another edge for Kansas could be that the game is played in Lincoln. Kansas Coach Larry Brown said he hoped the Nebraska fans will root for the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks are the Midwest reg ion's fifth seed by virtue of winning the Big Eight tournament. The high seed ing surprised Brown. "I thought they'd put us in the Midw est regional but I didn't think they'd seed us as high as they did. The win against Oklahoma certainly had a big impact on that." Sunday Game 4: Wake Forest (20-7) vs. IXunsss-Al-corn State winner, 3:45 p.m. Pot. Wake Forest Yr. Ht. Pts. Reb.

The Demon Deacons fell to Maryland by two in the semifinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Both Kansas' Brown and Alcorn State's Whitney said whichever team won their game would have a tough test in Wake Forest. "I cant think ahead to Wake Forest" Brown said. "Obviously being the fourth seed makes them an awfully good team. You have to play at your peak to beat any team in this tourn ament." Green led the Demon Deacons in scoring 15 of their 27 games. Teachey led them in rebounding in all but one of their games. wne- wina im w up spdsi, Bring your bike out of storage now and tune it up for only $15.95.
