Clock Hands Helped SIU Win Amid Foe's Fierce Comeback
Fortunately, there are only 40 minutes to a basketball game. If there were more. Southern might not have beaten Tennessee Tech 84-83 Monday night.
Down 84-77 with little time left in the ball game, the Eagles staged a comeback which fell short as the hands of the clock ground out their hopes for an upset.
The game was almost a reversal of the one played earlier in Carbondale when the Salukis won 72-53.
The score was knotted 39 all at the half. But the Salukis, led by Walt Frazier, built up a 55-48 lead early in the second half. The sophomore forward pumped in three baskets in the drive.
The home team fought back, however, and tied the score at 67-67 midway through the second half. But that was as close as the Eagles could get to taking the lead, before the Salukis went ahead to stay.
Frazier turned in another 30-point performance for Southern to lead the Saluki scorers.
Following Frazier in the scoring were Joe Ramsey with 19, Dave Lee with 13 and George McNeil with 11.
