Some advice now for people who can't resist those appetizing favorites at Burger King, just don't think about them. Forget about our sizzling flame broiled beef. Ignore the crunchy pickles, the melted cheese, the creamy mayonnaise. Pay no attention to our piping hot sandwiches. Using this simple technique, you might resist a bit when someone asks, aren't you hungry? Aren't you hungry? Aren't you hungry for Burger King? Now watch for breakfast. Coming soon to your St. George Burger King restaurant, KDXU and KZEZ St. George. The man had been wandering around his home for weeks, gazing in admiration at the walls. It all started after he visited Jones Painting Glass and bought Fuller o' Brien Weather King latex house paint for his home's exterior and Fuller Glow latex satin enamel for the interior. Weather King resists fading, blistering and shocking for years. And like all Fuller o' Brien paints a Jones painting glass. It glides on with ease and lasts a long time. And Fuller Glow gave each room a luscious satin look with a tough finish. The guy couldn't help but admire his new home, so I charged him with pda. No, not a public display of affection. Yep. But as soon as he got to prison, he painted his cell with Fuller Glow from Jones Painting Glass. And it looked so good, he asked to be sentenced to life. Fuller o' Brien paints can make any room look fresh and inviting. So if it's time to repaint or if you hear the crash, think of Jones Paint and Glass. Provo, American fork, Vernal Roosevelt, St. George, Pocatello and Idaho Falls. Three years and we're playing our last ball game against BYU. Score's tied, four second on the clock. We shoot the ball. The season's over now the probation's over and the ball goes in. It's sort of a happy ending to which has been tough. We had some great wins. We beat Vegas, we beat utep, we beat Utah, we beat BYU and got everybody back. So it's. We're looking forward to, you know, just bigger and better things next year. Well, the team is really starting to gel, especially when you got into the wack. You could see some. Some strides going forward with has returned and Ron Inch, he's back and, you know, he made a free throw there that beat us in the ball game that I think it was 199 and it was an excellent ballgame. I'm just happy to be back. I haven't been back since we won our national tournament here, but it just looks exciting as it has been in the past and it seemed to get, getting better and the facility is looking just beautiful. I think this is the greatest tournament in the country. I think that you have an honor that very few coaches, I don't think of any coach has ever been able to win the junior college championship next year, the NIT in the third year, be in the ncaa. That's pretty good, coach. Well, I tell you, we've, we've been very fortunate. Good Lord has really had blessings upon us in our ball club. We, we got beat by Houston. We thought we had a chance of going all the way again. However, we lost David Brown, another fine kid that came from here in this junior college tournament that messed up a knee in the middle of the season and we did pretty well without him. And you know, I'm very proud of our team. We, we ended up with a Missouri Valley Conference tournament championship, a top 10 ranking, and, and of course, all those young men are very close to graduating from school. School. And those, those kind of things make me even more happy than, than the fact they play basketball. A lot of those ball players that you had that were the key to your team played against Dixie. What about next year? You're going to be losing some of those. What do you look for coming back? Well, that's the reason I'm here tonight. I'm looking for the same kind of people that we're losing, and I see quite a few of them out on the floor. We're going to lose those five, but, you know, we have a great nucleus. I brought in four super freshmen last year that are going to get a lot of, they got a lot of playing time this year. And of course, course our, our nucleus is there now. We've got to go fit in some supporting cast and that's what we're here for tonight, is to find those supporting cast people. Now, I know that you've been in contact with Ron Ants for the past two plus years. You know it, Ron knows it. Can you admit it? According to NCAA rules? Well, you know, the rules are so strictly. But, but Ron is a great basketball player and he knows that we're very highly, you know, very interested in him. And he's, he's, he's a competitor and he's a winner. And anytime a young man struggles, spends two years away from basketball and then he comes back and play as well as he has. You know, you can't help but to admire the young man. He's just a great, gifted, talented, Young man and we hope that someday play for the University of Tulsa. Reaction to this ball game briefly, how do you think it will go in the second half? Well, first of all I thought in the first, first few minutes of the ball game Midland is running some, some change up defenses and they're doing a great job. They did that last night. They ran 131 into a 212 and then they matched them up man to man and then trapped out of it. And on the other hand I thought Dixie started off a little bit slow but then they got their, their machine moving because they are probably one of the finest shooting ball clubs in the tournament. And I think the second half will be maybe a picture book of the first half. Simply, I think it's going to go down to the war. I don't know why, but that's the way it looks. They're just two evenly matched ball clubs who are playing excellent basketball here tonight. Coach Nolan Richardson of University of Tulsa, thank you for being with us and good luck next year. We, we appreciate you having having you here and like to see more success out of the University of Tulsa like you have. Well, thank you very much. Certainly appreciate it. We'll be back in just 90 seconds with the beginning of second half of action. Back in 90 seconds. Midland 35. Have you had the chance lately to go to Tri State Office Supply?

Least fouls in the game by one team. A record of four fouls. And Vincennes committed only six fouls. And that's a record of 10 in a game. Second shot up and good by Stud Webb.

Shot by McMullen is up and good. McMullen, 24 consecutive free throws. 12 in the first half, 12 this half. McMullen amazing statistics. Chris McMullen had a string of 25.

Dixie making some crucial mistakes underneath the McMullen back to end. 258 left in the game. Dixie's liable to sit on this one.

Imus is 70.3% free throw shooter. 80 to 75. Was not expected to be this high scoring a game. Second shot up and good. Dixie had 45 points in the first half.

Nixon with a lead pass from Dockery thrown away right into the hands of Tony Troy Stevenson. A minute 22 left is Z starting to crumbly. Perfect. Could bring it back to 2. Cater in baseline. Jump shot short rebound. Jaime foul on Caterton. Cateran with a rebound foul. West Highman to the free throw line to shoot 1 and 1. A minute 13 left in the game and this is definitely they might have taken this over. In fact we may be headed to a three hour ball game with as many free throws as we've had. The record for Most fouls in one game is 59 and that was 27 by Burlington Iowa and 32 by Dixie. And it was tied in 1972 with Arizona Western and Hutchinson College. West west simus to shoot one and one shot good by West Simons. Now it's at three straight. Let's see 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 20. There's 20 for Dixie. We'll have to check on Mercer in just a second. Jaime's second shotgun. Jaime four consecutive free throws. 83, 77 back to a six point lead with a minute ten left in the game. Dixie trying to hang on for the the victory to the corner. It goes to Shatterton. Long jump shot in and out high for the rebound West. Jaime. Jaime quickly to Chris McMullen. McMullen and ants with his gory. But Jaime with a heroic foul on Chatterton as McMullen throws the pass cross court. Catterton picks up personal foul number three. Dixie has committed 20 fouls. Mercer with four. 8, 16, 19, 24, 29, 33. So we have 43 fouls now between these two. Shot up by McMullen Cook. McMullen 26 consecutive free throws, a career high only five baskets total of 36 points. 84, 77, 60 by seven. A little breathing room now. Now with 55 seconds left, McMullen second shot good. McMullen 27 consecutive free throws at the angle. Michael Everett penetrates, loses the ball, lays it up no good high for the rebound. Ron in lead pass comes to Eddie Benson. Benson leaves it for Chris McMullen and McMullen will hang on to the ball will not go to the basket. Olis Dockery gets it and there's a foul on Mercer and that goes to the Michael Thomas. That's number four on Michael Thomas. To the free throw line goes Chris McMullen. McMullen with another chance as if he needs another chance. McMullen 27 consecutive free throws. First shot McMullen good. 28 consecutive free throws, 59 fouls. The most committed. Let's see the most free throws made in a game 19. So Chris McMullen is broken. He's needless to say broken the scoring record or the free throw record in this tournament. Second shot is good and the fans cheering on Chris McMullen's record now 87 to 7710 point lead by Dixie. Shot, shot. No good. Rebound Chatterton foul on Dockery and that's foul number five on Ola Zachary. 32 seconds left in the game and Dockery fouls out with one basket. Neither ball club nor neither official will allow this game to die a peaceful death. Dixie having the game brought back to a four point margin late in the ball game have extended expanded it out to a 10 point lead from the free throw line. Shot by Chatterton. Good Brad Chatterton, first free throw of the night. Bubba Bailey, young man went on to play North Texas State when he was playing for San angelo College. Hit 19 free throw, second shot no good. Foul on Mercer as hit's got the rebound and that I believe goes to. Let's check it Troy Stevenson. Stevenson I think picked up personal foul number five Michael Dobson the only man left. Dobson comes into the ball game a 68 center. Will he come in or will Mercer refuse to put in a ballplayer? Howie Landa may conceded at this point. Let's wait and see. Howie Landa with 30 seconds left does not want to put in a ballplayer and will play with four ball players. Does not want Thompson to play at all with 30 seconds left does not want to take a chance on reentering that ankle. Landa gives the explanation as Thompson is in uniform. I'm not sure exactly what the ruling is. Mercer will go with four ballplayers and apparently Dixie may take that fourth ball player out A fifth ball player. We'll wait and see. Landa may be waiting for Dixie to do just that. 87, 78, 30 seconds left in the game and Mercer going with four ballplayers ence to shoot one and one. First shot good. Ron Ant 7 for 10 from the free Throw line ents. Not a bad night himself. 25 points. 88. 30 seconds left and Dixie will play the winner of West West Ark. And Midland Texas. Second shot good run in 29 seconds left. 89, 78. Eddie Benson looking like a fifth wheel right now. Shot up no good off the hands of Michael Thomas. Out of bounds to Dixie. 22 seconds left in the game. 89.78. It's five on four right now. Chris McMullen has broken the tournament record for most free throws in the ball game. West Jaime throws the ball away. Michael Thomas drives, puts it up. Noga Thomas hits it and will it count? Foul will go to no, it will not count. The foul was before the shot to foul. Correction goes to Roosevelt Peoples. Peoples knocked Ron Ant down and people fouls out in an unreal ball game with 17 seconds left. And no matter what happens now with a Dixie victory, it's going to be a tainted victory no matter how you look at it. Eric Ludlow into the lineup. Ron Butterfield into the lineup. Rob Gentry into the lineup for Dixie with 17 seconds left. 89.78. People fouls out. Dobson is on the bench. Chris McClellan goes out. Dixie will leave. Got four ballplayers in the game. Nope, corrected. Ron Ansel has to be shooting free throws. 17 seconds left in the game. The officials allowing the two teams to huddle bravely. Three ball players left on the floor for Mercer. Michael Option will not play. Mercer wants to come back and win that consolation championship. Dixie has avenged a loss to Mercer in the semifinal game of the 1979 championship. But it's a somewhat tainted victory. Although Dixie has earned it. Scored more points and first half of the 101 hit. The 90 to 78 ence may have his career high also. His career high is 28. Second shot up. No good by Ince. Ince 9 for 13 from the free throw line. Chatterton shot up and good and foul goes to Butterfield. Butterfield with the basket or with a foul. Chatterton with the basket and Chatterton 2 suit 1. 90 to 80 with 10 seconds left in the game. In what is becoming almost a joke of a ball game at the end. But if the foul is committed, the officials feel like they have to call it. 10 seconds left. Chatterton to complete a three point play. No misses. Rebound. Ludlow. Ludlow has the ball stripped away by Chatterton. Bank shot good. Chatterton puts it up and in. Lead pass comes to Ludlow. Ludlow will not get the shot away. 90 to 82. Final score. Ludlow almost picked up the technical by grabbing the rim after the basket. Howie Lander shakes the hands of Neil Roberts Neil Roberts wants to shake the hands of the Mercer county team and deservedly so. Mercer county, with a heroic effort to come back against Dixie, brought it back with him four points. But the first half foul trouble caught up with him in the second half and what was, needless to say, one of the strangest games I have ever seen. But Dixie comes away with a victory 90 to 82 and will play tomorrow night. We'll talk about that and hopefully talk with coach Neil Roberts in the postgame show. Final score Dixie 90, Mercer County Community College 82 back with a postgame show in just a couple of minutes.

Hearst Ben Franklin Ace Hardware See Hearst first on Sunshine Square and in Hurricane we have a strange first day of action in Hutchinson, Kansas. Very strange first day. A lot of strange things have been taking place in these ball games. Dixie still milling around a little bit on the sidelines as couple of the ball players have yet to go to the showers. Maybe waiting until after the first game gets underway to go take their showers. 90 to 82. A key part of that second half was when Dixie got the run rebound. There was a rebounding foul on Carl Holmes pushing Ron Ant. Holmes fouled out of the ball game at that point. Holmes picked up a technical foul. Talking to the officials after that. And then Howie Landa protesting the officials, picked up a two shot technical foul. Chris McMullen hit all three free throws. Dixie did not convert on the basket after they got the inbound play. But still that seemed to take some of the umfounders of Mercer county charge at that time. How good is Mercer County? Well, it must be a lot better with Michael Dobson than without. That they had to play without Michael Dobson, their big center and without Dobson that made quite a difference for Mercer. Dixby on the other hand, playing extremely good basketball in the first half played played their hearts out and had Mercer on the run. Had them down big 19 points at the half but then couldn't buy a basket miss easy layups, layups that they normally hit did keep the free throw shooting red hot. And Dixie with Chris McMullen getting a tournament record 2029 free throws in this ball game. The previous record was 19 in one game by Garland Bailey. Bubba Bailey for San Angelo College. But anyway, McMullen got that record tonight and McMullen was the difference. The free throw line was the difference for Dixie. No matter how you look at it, that's what gave Dixie the victory. Wes Hymas a key man hitting four big free throws, coming down the wire and getting some key rebounds. Let's take a look at the score. Michael Everett finished the ballgame and he was one of three Mercer ballplayers on the floor at the end of the game. Michael Everett 5 field goals 2 for 3 from the free throw line A total of 12 points tonight. Anthony Montgomery fouled out with 822 left in the game, had 7 field goals 2 for 2 from the free throw line 16 points against his 6.1 point per game average on the year.

Thomas a field goal one for four from the free throw line a total of three points. Carl Holmes fouled out and this seemed to be one of the keys for Dixie. Holmes fouled out with 14:52 left in the ball game. Holmes finish with with four field goals 3 for 4 from the free throw line and pretty well on his average of 11.3 a game. 11 points on the night for Carl Holmes. Roosevelt Peoples fouled out with 17 seconds left in the game, finished with five field goals four for four from the free throw line a total of 14 points. That's below his season average. Mercer with five minute double figures and almost had a six as Mercer county got extremely hot in the second half. Pentagon the Dixie defense got the easy shot and hit the easy shot. Two out of the three ballplayers have finished the game. Everett we've already mentioned Brad Chatterton came in late in the ball game, hit three field goals one for three from the free throw line a total of seven points. Michael Thomas finished with four field goals one for one from the free throw line and a total of nine points for Michael Thomas. That's the 82 points for Mercer County.

Dixby a loss to second ball player Ola Zachary with 32 seconds left in the game. Zachary fouled out with but one field goal and that was early in the game A total of two points.
