1968 Schedule and Results

The Bucs sealed off FSU's passing lanes to its big front line, and built up a 17-point lead with five minutes to play, then held off a mild Seminole rally to win.

The Seminoles got back within eight with 1 1/2 minutes to play when Darrell Stewart hit two quick layups, but it wasn't nearly enough for Coach Huh Durham's squad.

Harley Swift, a tough 6-3 guard, led the Bucs. He hit 22 points and controlled the ball when the Seminoles began pressing in the second half. Time and again, Swift hit the bucket or the open man as the Tennessee club continually drove on the Seminoles.

FSU's problems started early as Swift hit three quick baskets to give Tennessee a 10-5 lead four minutes into the game. The Bucs opened the lead to seven, 37-30, at the half and continued to draw away in the final 20 minutes.

East Tennessee grabbed 49 rebounds while holding Dave Cowens and his teammates to 33. In fact, Cowens managed just four rebounds and 11 points before fouling out with less than 30 seconds to play.

Durham said: "They were the smaller team, but played like the bigger team tonight. The game paralleled a year's defensive statistics...we gave up 79 points a game and they game up about 70."

Jan Gies led Florida State with 13 points, Darrell Stewart added 12, Jeff Hogan 10.

Leroy Fisher, a 6-5 forward had 19 points for the Bucs and led all rebounders with 12.

East Tennessee now plays the Big Ten champion in Lexington, Ky, on Friday.

Durham, obviously dejected, added: "This isn't the way we like to end an exciting season, but now we know what we have to do." He did not explain the last statement.

East Tennessee led all the way, except in the first three minutes, taking the lead for good at 6-5.

The Buccaneers were never really threatened after breaking open the game early in the second half with 12 straight points that brought a 51-34 lead with 14:57 remaining. In a seven-minute span East Tennessee outscored Florida State 16-4.

Having a difficult time getting the ball inside, FSU had to shoot from out and the high scoring Seminoles got only 64 attempts. They hit 43.7 per cent, slightly more than East Tennessee, but could not win the battle on the boards and had to settle for one shot at a time.
