DePaul may have the toughest first-round draw in
the NCAA tournament, says CBS basketball analyst
BUly Packer.
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

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.
Packer was asked to analyze the other teams in
the sub-regional:

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

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

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."

Alcorn State has played Kansas
twice in David Whitney's 15 years as
coach, losing 72-60 during the 1 98 1 -82
season and 86-74 last season. 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."

Wake Forest enters the tournament
as the Midwest region's fourth seed.
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.
