N.C.A.A. TOURNEY: ITS NOT ONLY WHO, BUT WHERE
IF he must leave the city on basketball business, it appears that there are few places Lou Carnesecca would rather go than the Ramada Inn in Seekonk, Mass. He has visited there so many times for so many years that he is almost considered family. The hotel is a short trip from the Providence Civic Center. Carnesecca, the St. Johns coach, can adjust the temperature of his room to the vicinity of 300 degrees, the way he likes it. The pasta may not be exactly what he gets at home, or on Union Turnpike in Queens, but it will do just fine. Best of all is that after a few hours south on I-95, he is home. Given some alternatives offered by the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament, Seekonk is heaven on earth.

ST. JOHNS GOES WEST
The 47th National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament, the biggest and richest yet, took shape as one of the most dangerous when the pairings were announced late yesterday afternoon. An increase from 53 to 64 teams, which led to a record six bids for teams from the Big East and Big Ten Conferences and five from the Atlantic Coast and Southeastern, did not eliminate the annual unhappy leftovers. Despite a decision by the nine-member tournament committee to avoid giving teams a chance to play regional championship games in their home arenas, the continued effort to spread the strongest teams over the four regions created significant roadblocks from coast to coast. The even bracket meant the end of the first- round bye, which in the past allowed the top-seeded teams some extra time to rest. Now, each of the 29 conference representatives and 35 teams given at- large bids - including just three independents - face the prospect of having to win four games to reach the Final Four, the national semifinal games at Lexington, Ky., on March 30, with its payoff of $708,000. Even the leaders will have to overcome detours along the way:

COLLEGE BASKETBALL 86: TEXAS vs. U.S.C.; WOMENS FINAL FOUR DRAWS FEW FANS BUT STIRS BIG HOPES
THERE are no former coaches-turned-television-commentators working the hotel lobby like nightclub comics. Elevator service is close to normal, and guests are rarely crowded inside as if part of an assault on a record found in the Guinness Book: Most people in one elevator during the week of a major sports event. There are even plenty of tickets available at the box office for the price that is stamped on the ticket. Obviously, a scalper would not make a living here this weekend. Compared to the March Madness on display at the mens collegiate basketball tournament in Dallas, the womens Final Four is understated. The comparison, however, may be unfair, since womens basketball is still in its infancy and under the domain of the National Collegiate Athletic Association for only five years. All it may need is more time. But, for now, the goals tend to be modest. For instance, Jody Conradt, the coach of unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Texas, which will play No. 2 Southern Cal in Sundays nationally televised final, will be happy if she leaves Lexington having resolved an identity crisis.
