College Basketball Roundup : Reggie Williams Leads Georgetown to 96-52 Victory

Georgetown Coach John Thompson says a lineup heavy with freshmen and sophomores already has him looking toward next season, but his only senior is obviously interested in how the Hoyas do this season.

Reggie Williams played every court position, scoring 30 points, pulling down 17 rebounds and dishing off 6 assists in leading 16th-ranked Georgetown to a 96-52 rout of Grambling in the Hoyas’ home opener Wednesday night at Landover, Md.

“Reggie has got to do everything for this team until it grows,” Thompson said. “We don’t have the luxury (for him) not to. He’s the heart and soul of this team.”

Georgetown is 3-0.

Athletes in Action 94, Louisville 82--Lorenzo Romar scored 20 points, and Brian Kellerman added 19 to lead AIA in an exhibition at Louisville, Ky.

It was Louisville’s fourth loss of the season in as many games, but the AIA loss does not count against the Cardinals’ 0-3 season record.

AIA, a group of former college and professional athletes, has a 12-9 mark in its games against college teams this season.

North Carolina 100, Stetson 64--The top-ranked Tar Heels bounced back from their loss at UCLA and put their game together in this mismatch at Chapel Hill, N.C.

The Tar Heels shot 60%, making eight of their nine three-point shots. Kenny Smith, who scored 17 points, hit three of four from beyond the three-point line. North Carolina is 3-1; Stetson is 0-3.

Iowa 89, Missouri St. Louis 64--Junior guard Jeff Moe came off the bench to score 14 points and lead the fifth-ranked Hawkeyes to victory at Iowa City, Iowa.

Iowa is 4-0.

Georgia Tech 72, Georgia 66--Bruce Dalrymple hit two key baskets to give the 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets the lead in the final five minutes, and they held on to win at Atlanta.

Georgia Tech, which had trailed by as many as 11 points in the first half, went in front to stay with 5:05 left when Dalrymple made an eight-footer from the right baseline. He came back just over a minute later to hit a 17-footer for a four-point lead.

Georgia Tech is 3-1; Georgia is 2-1.

North Carolina State 104, East Tennessee St. 85--Sophomore center Charles Shackleford maneuvered inside for 21 points, and five of his teammates scored in double figures as the 18th-ranked Wolfpack won at Raleigh, N.C.

North Carolina State is 4-1; East Tennessee State is 2-1.

Villanova 82, George Mason 79--Down by 14 points on the road at Fairfax, Va., with 10 minutes to play, Villanova turned to junior guard Harold Jensen for leadership and points.

Jensen responded, scoring 13 points in a 33-12 Villanova run that enabled the Wildcats (3-1) to beat upset-minded George Mason (0-2).

Cleveland State 85, St. Joseph’s (Pa.) 80--Ken McFadden scored 32 points and keyed a second-half rally as Cleveland State overcame a 16-point deficit at Cleveland.

The game was a rematch of a second-round contest in the NCAA tournament last March, when Cleveland State beat St. Joseph’s, 75-69. Cleveland State is 2-1; St. Joseph’s is 0-1.
