tions. Holy Cross.
The preliminary third-place
game between Western Ken
lucky and Niagara (starting at
7:45 pm, EST also may have
its bright moments. The West
ern Kentucky team, tabled by
veteran Coach Ed Diddle as the
best in his "a years, didn't like
being beaten for the second
time in 81 games. And the Hill
toppers were particularly peeved
because they thought one bad
call by a referee hurt them.
Niagara, a smart defensive team
like Duquesne. might also find
a way to slow down the Ken
lucky "racehorses."
It is the seventh NIT for Du-
quesne, which lost to Colorado
in the 1910 final and didn't get
to the last round again until this
year. It's only the second NIT
for Holy Cross, which also has
played in three NCAA tourna-
ments in the past six years.
