Ten Of The Tournament's Best

CINCINNATI
TOM THACKER

Missouri Valley
W 23 L 1
Coach: Ed JucKer

Ranked No. I all season, Cincy earned its honors with a disciplined defense that held foes to 52.3 points per game and a tantalizingattack. Guards shoot sparingly, instead try to feed either Forward Ron Bonham or Thacker , who is most threatening in tense moments.

DUKE
ART HEYMAN

Atlantic Coast
W 24 L 2
Coach: Vic Bubas

Big, strong and possessive under both boards, Duke will fast-break if permitted, or set up plays around Heyman and Jeff Mullins inside. Zone or pressing defenses don't bother team, which uses several kinds itself. Only offensive weakness is lack of scoring by the guards.

LOYOLA OF CHICAGO
JERRY HARKNESS

Independent
W 24 L 2
Coach: George Ireland

The Ramblers thrive on a helter-skelter fast break and peerless rebounding. Harkness, who is Loyola's alltime leading scorer, heads a well-balanced attack that averages 93.9 points, best in the nation. The starters make 13 to 21 points a game. Both bench and defense are weak.
