I Virginia's Ralph Sampson pulls a rebound way from Cozell McQueen during North The Associated Press Carolina State's 61 62 victory in the West Regional championship game Saturday.

By Steve Wieberg Gannett News Service OGDEN, Utah North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano would like to say it happened Just as he'd envisioned. But not even he had' dared dream of the Wolfpack in the NCAA's Final Four. "It I'd known," he said, "I'd have sold rights to the movie." The Wolfpack is, indeed, headed for Albuquerque, next weekend, thanks to its 83 82 victory over Virginia in Saturday's West Regional championship game. One reason is Dereck Whitten burg, who scored 24 points and hit 1 1 of IS shots from the field. Including one from the top of the key to tie the game with 1:26 left.

Another is Lorenzo Charles, whose two free throws provided the winning margin little more than a minute later. Whittenburg had suffered a foot stress fracture in an earlier game against Virginia after scoring 27 first half points. It's the stuff of movie scripts. "I did say I had a dream he (Whittenburg) would come back and knock in a Jump shot to win the ACC tournament," said an elated Valvano, whose team will take a 24 10 record against the East Regional champion Saturday. "But winning the He simply shook his head.

Valvano wasn't the only one in shock. Virginia's Ralph Sampson, the 7 foot 4 three time AU Ameri can, saw his four year hope of winning a national championship shattered. 1 Three trips to the NCAA tournament the last three seasons have gotten him and the CaValiers no more than a third place finish his sophomore season. This was his last shot. "I've had some tough losses," said Sampson, who had 23 points and II rebounds in his final collegiate game, "but this is the one that ended it.

It's probably the toughest one I've ever had." The Cavaliers finished at 111 23 during Sampson's career. Virginia (29 5) had an opportunity to pull it out. Twenty three seconds were left on the clock after Charles hit his two free throws. The Cavs got two shots.

His desperation shot just before the buzzer was short. "We were going to try to go Inside to Sampson or we were going to go to the perimeter," said Virginia coach Terry Holland. "I thought when Wilson came up with the rebound that we still had a real good chance." When the Wolfpack's Cozell McQueen latched onto Wilson's miss, though, that chance was gone. North Carolina State's unlikely Odyssey through the NCAA tournament would continue. Thanks in large part to Whitten burg's foot Injury, State was a so so 17 10 going into the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament a couple of weeks ago.

But the Wolfpack made it to the finals and upset Virginia, 81 78. Then there was a double overtime comeback victory over Pepperdine in the NCAA's opening round, another comeback win by one point over Nevada Las Vegas and an uncharacteristicallyuncharacteristically easy 75 56 victory over Utah.

Sooner or later, Louisville's defensive pressure gets to you.

In the case of Kentucky, it took 24 years. Plus one overtime. Denny Cram's resilient Cardinals settled the battle of Kentucky and the race for Albuquerque with a quick, deadly burst here Saturday, whipping the University of Kentucky 8043 in overtime in the Mideast Regional finals. "If you have to lose, it may as well Isles nip Rangers By Bob Glauber Special to the Journal UNIONDALE. L.I.

Had It been the Islander of old playing the Rangers Saturday night at Nassau Coliseum, they would have blown their cross town rivals out of the building. Instead, it was the Islanders of 1883 and they barely hung on tor a 3 2 decision before a sellout crowd of 15,230. The Islanders were close to brilliant In building a 3 0 lead midway through the third period, but as hat been the case countless times this season, they chose to tit on the lead instead of building the score. Had It not been for the goalposts behind Islander netmlnder Billy Smith, the Isles would have lost a crucial step in their bid to bold onto second place in the Patrick Division. Smith was saved four times by the post at the Rangers rang the pipe at least once In each period.

The Rangers wound up with only 21 shots for the game, but almost a third of their attempts came close to scorings The Ranger owned the Islanders in the final period, outsbooting them 8 2..

And they're the best," said Kentucky guard Dirk Minniefield That will be determined this week when Louisville, 32 3 and winner of 16 straight, goes to the Final Four to meet today's llous ton Villanova winner. This Is the third time in four years the Cardinals have advanced to the Final Four and the fifth time since Crum became coach.

This long awaited game between in state rivals who had not met in 24 years was everything promised. Properly close. Suitably tense. And for Louisville, perfectly concluded. The Cardinals, who rallied from 13 points down only to have Kentucky's Jim Master tie the game as regulation time ran out stunned the Wildcats by scoring the first 14 points in overtime.

"It was a super ballclub that beat us," Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall said. "It is a sign of real character when a ballteam can come back like Louisville did." "They just never quit. I don't think we've ever had a team play any harder or better than we did in the second half," said Crum. It made up for a shaky first half.

Master had saved Kentucky's skin with a 10 foot shot as the horn sounded in regulation. The Wildcats had the momentum, but that started shifting when Louisville won the tip to start overtime. "That was a key. If we had won it, we were going to hold the ball." said Master.

A small man with a big heart, scrapping to stay alive in a big man's game. In short (pardon the pun), a professional pest. Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, the foot 8 Yonkers native and former Gorton High star stood tall in the dutch, carrying the Milwaukee Bucks to an 89 81 win over the New York Knicks. He was the little man making the big plays, making a pest of himself, when it counted most, Criss scored eight of his 10 points In the fourth quarter when the game was up for grabs, providing poised shooting and hustling rebounding. He finished with eight boards, one less than Kmck center Bill Cartwright.

The Knicks, meanwhile', looked as though they were giving a preview of the threatened player strike with their fourth quarter offensive work stoppage. With matters tied at 77 all after Truck Robinson's layup with 5.54 left, the Knicks went 5.18 before scoring their next field goal, a meaningless slam by Cartwright with 38 seconds left and Milwaukee leading 87 78.
