Fresh from winning its first-ever Ohio Valley Conference title for both the regular season and the league’s postseason tournament, Middle Tennessee’s Blue Raiders suffered a severe case of “first-appearance jitters” against Oregon State. The Blue Raiders hit only 33 percent from the field and 17 percent at the foul line in the first half and found themselves trailing, 30-19. The Blue Raiders played the Pac-8 runners-up dead even in the second half, but the 11-point margin was reflected in the final score, 78-67. George Sorrell shared the game’s scoring honors with OSU’s Shelton, each with 23 points. George was the game’s top rebounder with 17.

Detroit, coached by TV-personality-to-be Dick Vitale, took advantage of a hot shooting hand (62.5 percent for the game) to overcome solid rebounding by Middle Tennessee. The only Blue Raider lead of the game came briefly in the second half, 54-52, on a tip-in by center Bob Martin. However, Detroit immediately went on a 25-8 scoring run that iced the decision despite 28 points from Martin and 15 rebounds by forward Greg Joyner.

In what is quite arguably the biggest Blue Raider basketball victory ever, Middle Tennessee got off to a very quiet start, trailing 8-0 after two-and-a-half minutes of play. The Raiders fashioned a moderate lead late in the half and the score was knotted at 30 at the intermission. The score was tied three times in the second half, as well, but Kentucky was never able to regain the lead. It was a rock-ribbed defense that stopped the Wildcats. Not a single Kentucky player mustered more than eight points, but Rick Campbell had 19 and Jerry Beck had 14 for the Blue Raiders. Beck’s 10 rebounds helped fashion a 36-27 edge on the boards for Middle Tennessee.
