              Saluki defense needs work.
Lambert wants inside offense
Dy M.k*   Klacn
Daily Efypuan Kpovti Writer
Any rime a .cam score a 103
points and wins by four, li's
time to laic a look ai ihc do-
ten sc.
Put bluntly, the Salukls
b.dly needed anything resembling an effective defense
for much of Wednesday night's
game. Of course, todldWlna-
ton-S.ll cm.
The Salkl eagera hare been
advcilscd as s prcnoing,
fast-break club but the press
was only mildly effective isatll
ibe lasi seven minutes ot ibe
con! eat.
"It's folng to be s tough
transition, naturally/* coach
Paul Lambert ssld during a
pott-game press conference.
•We saw that tonight and we
know U will take a couple ot
fames 10 set tbe press down.
''Dot when It comes down to
ihe last two or three minutes
Of the same. It waa the press
snd ihe pressure that won the
ballgame for us."
Lambcrt'a rlgts shout that.
Helped by three John Carren
steala the Salukls were able
Co rush past Winston-Salem,
overcoming a 10-potat deficit
In s fr.rn.ic comeback.
Seemingly In s slow-dowu
offense at the time, although
coach C.E. Gsiaes denied this
later, Winston-Salem lo* all
momen:um, and consequently,
the ball game.
**We dltks'r slow it down.
We steeped moving." Gaines
said.    "I   thin*   we  had   otne
rotnts In 11/2 minutes. The
Ids hist ahanJ-eted their of-
fenae. Don't ask rrc why. I
don't know."
For about 31 mtnwtra.
Cabt-rs* ottcnae wss very obvious, scoring from the lane
and unoe raeath iIiT-ift at will.
ll eetatbled Winston- Salem to
capture a Tslck 0-4 lead anS
then a»ay on tip at halfiime
3|-49 after the &ala*is moved
to a 23-13 advantage midway
through the period.
(".ainos attributed Winston -
Salem's breakdown, and It
.definitely was that, to Inexperience and caution.
"When you run up a nine-
point lead by a pratlcular pattern. It Deematomeymiohould
be able to build up a bluer
lc/d with the aame thing,    he
said.
"The -.bole thing la Just a
matter to tempo. If we had
encoded rather thxn lost our
tempo, we would hate been all
right. When you lose your
tempo, the other team just
haa to pick It up."
Physically, Win Hon-Sal em
la s small ballclsb, similar
to the Manjuette Warriors ot
last season who won the National Invitational Tournam-
■Sc.
Tber didn't have tbe big
mm but were able to score
underneath with little difficulty, also.
Lambert wasn't Impressed
with many facets of the game
Wednesday snd aald tbe 5a*
lakls have played much better
defease tfl acrlrr^agra sod
practice. "We g-t*c up the
cheap baakct tonight and we're
Elag   to   have   to   do  much
ner than t Ma."
Although Lambert said, "I
don't think we'll face another
tesn all year thai Is better
si spins to the boards," SIU
■U ahll to outnrbound Wlna-
ton-Salem 4I-3J. L.C. Bras-
fleld had 11 and Marvin Brooks
eight.
Brooks also blocked fire
■bora thai never reachedtheir
destination and anm^hotrort
sisner Nate fUwifconae *";-*'
three more.
One of th biggest probteess
departed coach Jack llanmaa
had with hla young Salukls Ust
year   «is gefiing the tUrif
to move the ban ftaeSSe.
And If rhe seaaon opener ia
any    ta»lea?fc**i    nf   &.•<■   to
c>mc, that problem la atUl
around.
Many of Hraallcld'a 40
points and Starrlck's 24 were
scored from between 15 and
20 feet.
When the long-range bcrob-
cra arc cold, a team muet
be able to detiend on the Inside
gatmc. That was proven to the
Salukls rery rudely last year
by Georgia Tech.
Braafleld had his worst
night of the season, going
scoreless, as the Yellow) ac-
kets   swapmed   SIU,   100-71.
The continuing problem
could be lessened if Stan row-
lea can put It all together.
he was scoreless lathe season opener.
A big man like Powles,6-9,
230 pounds. Is going to have
trouble looking »»J la a faat-
break game.
Por some reason, many
Saluki fans have been down on
Powlra but as Pred I turf ssld,
"I hey probably booSOOwbody
at UCLA, too/' Huff Is Spons
Informsilon Directr.
Powles' nineties 1st; yesr
weren't anything to rave about
but when ihe fneag Spt tough
towards season's end, he was
tough too,
la .the nasi game of the
kiioo. he had 10 rebounds
against Marquette University
before touting out with 4:21
remaining as the game. Mar-
nuetic, sa slready stated, won
the Ml sr-d la raeXa-d No. 4
major col large In the pre-
aeaaon poll.
W Powles can )e0 •onn. the
Salikla are rt*( to be mighty
tough. He s wtast La—ben
needs right now, a big man to
clog up the middle.
