14.1Of course TALC beforehand.....CSTEAM::FARLEYMegabucks Winner WannabeeMon Jan 11 1993 18:0311
    Saturday I went to the PC - SH game in Providence with my brother.
    PC stunk up the joint, shot ~39% but other than that, they played
    halfway decent.
    
    The crowd in the Providence Civic Center had about as much life
    as a 3 day stiff in the morgue!
    
    I remain,
    still true to BBall!

    University, happened to beat Pitt on Saturday night at a game at Alumni
    Hall in NYC.

	GREENSBORO, N.C. (UPI) -- The game between Morgan State and North
Carolina A&T was suspended Monday night after a fight broke out during
the first half.
	Visiting Morgan State was leading 35-31 in the first half when the
fight broke out. The crowd never got involved in the incident but the
referees decided that continuing the game would be dangerous.
	The referee said that the atmosphere in the arena was not condusive
to a college basketball game.
	The first hint of a brawl occured with 2:43 left in the half when
North Carolina A&T center Kevin Chamberlain was ejected for a flagrant
foul. The benches emptied with 1:55 left following a collision under the
basket between North Carolina A&T's Thomas Garner and Morgan State's
Michael Brewer.
	The referees reviewed video replays and determined that Garner,
Brewer and North Carolina A&T's Thad Young and Morgan State's Vincent
Langston should be ejected as well as players from both benches. The
ejections left each team with only three eligible players and officials
decided to suspend the game.
	A decision on when to continue the game has not been made.

Subject: Malcolm Mackey: UPI Player of Week
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 93 10:50:00 PST
 
	NEW YORK (UPI) -- Malcolm Mackey, who made three key free throws to
help Georgia Tech upset then-No. 1 Duke, Tuesday was named UPI's Player
of the Week in college basketball.
	Mackey had 19 points and 7 rebounds in an 80-79 victory Sunday that
ended the Blue Devils' winning streak at 23 games, the nation's longest.
Duke dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 in Monday's UPI poll and Georgia Tech
jumped from No. 11 to No. 7.
	Mackey made two free throws with 12 seconds left to give the Yellow
Jackets a 79-74 lead. He then made 1 of 2 from the line with five
seconds to go as Georgia Tech held on.
	``I'm a senior and I wanted the ball,'' Mackey said. ``I wanted to
shoot the free throws. That's why I held the ball when I got it -- so I
could get fouled.''
	Mackey's teammate, Drew Barry, the son of former NBA great Rick
Barry, also received consideration for the award. Barry, a freshman,
scored 11 points against Duke and made three key steals in the second
half.
	Also receiving votes from a nationwide media panel: Indiana's Damon
Bailey, Kentucky's Travis Ford and Jamal Mashburn, Cincinnati's Nick Van
Exel and Arizona's Chris Mills.

    I may be going out on a limb here...
    
    If Kentucky gets by Vandy and Purdue within the next few days, they
    will go the distance undefeated.
    
    (Actually, those are the last two "big games" the Kats have...)

    Kentucky lost to Vanderbilt. Will still be interesting to see how many
    games they lose this season. Kansas will probably be ranked #1 in the
    next poll, unless of course they lose before that.

Vanderbilt?  Is this the same Vandy team that Illinois destroyed in Dec?
Wow.  Anyone know how many pts. Billy McCaffery (ex Duke) had?  He lit it
up vs. the Illini.

Lou Henson goes for #600 and the Big 10 lead vs. IU this Saturday in
Champaign. Should be a hootenanny.  So of course Iowa Duke is on instead...

14.17DYPSS1::ROPERBRoper DTN-433-4336Thu Jan 14 1993 19:2041
    I guess all this talk about UK was bound to bring me out of hiding!
    
    Chip, you didn't really think UK would go undefeated this year did you? 
    Hopefully you were just caught up in the euphoria of the Cats being the
    top ranked team, etc.  Much too difficult to win every game in the
    regular season these days unless you are in a cupcake conference (See
    1991 UNLV!).  The SEC is a pretty tough conference.  Almost every
    recruting report I read rated this freshman class in the SEC as the
    nations best.  The SEC will be heard from in the tourney the next few
    years.
    
    I was worried about going to Vandy even before the #1 ranking came out! 
    Afterwards I was real concerned.  I listened to the game last night
    (840 AM WHAS) and UK is still struggling in a couple of critical
    areas.  
    
    	#1.  Half-Court Offense - Kentucky basically has no offensive
             continuity at this stage of the season.  This is caused 
             primarily by the loss of 4 key seniors (Pelphrey, Feldhaus,
             Woods, and Farmer).  UK has a TON of talent this year, much
             more than last year in fact.  However, they need to improve
             greatly in the motion offense that Pitino runs.  Too much
             One-on-One play.  BTW, the IU game showed many offensive 
             weaknesses.  IU won most statistical categories in the game   
             but basically lost it on the line (18-36 FT's).
    
       #2.   Poor defense.  Last night at Vandy, UK was horrible in their 
             Man defense.  Billy McCaffrey tore them apart.  23 points and
             14 assists.  UK wasn't moving their feet on defense.  The
             patented Pitino press has been fairly ineffective this year
             also.  Again UK has the speed and quickness to have a 
             dominating defense.  Youth wins out at this point in the
             season however.
    
    Add to the above the fact that UK is pathetic from the charity-stripe,
    and this team doesn't have much margin of error.  IMO, UK has the
    talent to contend for the NCAA title this year.  But it all depends on
    how quickly the youngsters learn the offense, etc.  I suspect they will
    stumble a few more times before the SEC schedule is finished.

Maybe Walt but with UNC only having one loss and Michigan two, you'd have
to rate them higher. As Don said it'll be much more fun when UNC chokes
on their high ranking....

    Depends, Michigan's losses were to Indiana and Duke, both ranked higher
    then UNC and Michigan.  I'd still rank them higher, in spite of the
    2 losses.  Who has UNC really beat?

    The following is excerps from a column that appeared in yesterday's 
    Chicago Tribune.  It is written by James Warren, who is a magazine
    reviewer.  This is posted without permission from the writer. 
    
    
    Honest sports recruiting, like military intellegence, may be an
    oxymoron, as February DETAILS proves.
    
    The hip fashion monthly for young men enters unexpected territory,
    college athletics, via writer Darcy Frey's "Jumping Through Hoops."
    It's an inside account of colleges pandering to Tchaka Shipp, a NYC
    HS BB star.  
    
    It's no secret that recruiting goes overboard, with illegal promises
    made and even cash passed, with many solicitations on the ethical
    border of rules set by the NCAA, governing body of college sports.
    
    Frey's account is notable in capturing verbatim what many people know
    goes on, but can't necessarily prove.  He became a fly on the wall,
    having apparently cultivated Shipp, and gained access to the sucking up
    by recruiters.  They included Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim and
    Villanova University coach Rollie Massimino (who has since split to
    UNLV).
    
    Boeheim shows Shipp photos of Syracuse's snazzy arena and alludes to
    some well-publicized allegations of illegal aid to Syracuse athletes:
    "You're gonna read in the papers about kids getting benefits.  But I
    want to assure you, our lawyers are working around the clock and
    they've found no major violations.  The headlines say 'Players Get
    Cash' ...  I gave $20 Christmas money to one player.  Big deal.  Worst
    is we'll lose a scholarship.  But we won't be out of the [NCAA]
    tournament.  Maybe we'll get a one-year probation during your freshman
    year, but we won't be out of the tournament.  OK maybe - maybe - we
    won't play in the tournament.
    
    "Anyway, have I mentioned the facilities?  We got everything: great
    weight room.  Great student apartments.  Socially, nowhere better.
    Parties at night in the apartments.  And our players - they should run
    for mayor!  Always the most popular guys in town.  Four sets of
    practice gear by Champion.  And any model Nike you want.  Any
    questions?"
    
    Massimino, a Danny DeVito-like character in look and manner, opened
    with a grand display of feigned intimacy with the black player,
    declaring, "What's happening!"  He then "tried to execute some sort of
    soul shake.  'How's your mama?  How 'bout school, kid?'
    
    "At Villanova, you'll come over to my house to eat.  I'll even cook for
    you.  'Cause at Villanova, we play together, we eat together, we cry
    together."
    
    Shipp soon had no "clue what Massimino was talking about.  Words were
    streaming out of the coaches mouth - a wall of sound, signifying
    nothing."  The coach babbled about Shipp being able to visit crippled
    children at a hospital near Villanova, dressing up like Santa Claus,
    passing out cotton candy and feeling better.  Shipp was "already lost,
    dreaming of dunks and taking his girl to Terminator 2.'"
    
    Not once is a recruiter quoted in praise of an institution's academics. 
    But there's much talk of free sneakers for Shipp (who chose Seton Hall)
    One can imagine how bad this all gets with coaches without the national
    lure of a Syracuse or Villanova.

TTom, there you go again, not including any Atlantic 10 teams :-)

Actually this is a hard time for a lot of teams to make the Top 25, much
less stay there. A perfect example is the beating Ohio St is taking in
the Big 10. They lost their 4th straight lasted night against Michigan.
They started conference play in the Top 25 and may not be seen again.

The real problem with the Atlantic 10 is that like the Big 10 they lack a
certain identity. I mean neither has 10 member institutions. Unlike the
Big 10, where almost everyone knows its the Big T*1*e*1*n, who besides
possibly Rich Rollins even knows how many teams are in the Atlantic 10.
And whatever the answer is, it'll be different nexted year. At least the
membership is changing.

    	Geo. Washington
    	Rutgers
    	W. Va.

    Illinois 80 - Wisconsin 72
    Bucky gets a taste of the good life at #24 CNN but is doesn't last. I
    really believe that by the end of the season, Illinois will be #3 in
    the B10, and a top 15 team.  6 losses so far, only the Texas loss was
    convincing and to a lower caliber team. They beat #13 Vandy by 20,
    then ranked MSU in East Lansing, and semi-ranked Wisconsin. With Iowa
    down a man, and OSU playing mediocre ball, I think Minnesota, Purdue,
    and Illinois will duke it out.  Ironically, UI plays those two only
    once this year. I think this is a typical Henson team which starts off
    a little slow and comes on strong.  The true frosh starting at point
    is finally coming around as well.  But we'll see, it would be nice
    to get another road win this Sat vs. OSU. Can't wait until I gop to
    Champaign to see them dismantle Pitt (from the overrated BE).

    UMASS is ranked again in the USA Today-CNN Coaches Poll @ #23.  Now
    they only have to keep winning (they currently have a nine game 
    winning streak).  For those in the Boston area, you can catch the
    UMASS/George Washington (Coach is Mike Jarvis - former BU coach)
    Saturday @ noon on Fox Channel 25...It should be a great game.
    
    Also, BC is almost in the top 25 again.  It should be a great year
    for NE college basketball.  Definitely UMASS & BC will be in
    the NCAA tournament with the possibility of Holy Cross, Northeastern,
    UCONN and URI also in it.

 Just when it looked like number 1 was going to go down again the refs smile
 on IU and make one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Penn State deserved
 better last night. For those who missed it Penn State had a two point lead
 in regulation with 6 ticks left on the clock and the ball in hand taking it 
 out on the sideline. They set up a stack and one player breaks in to the front
 court beautifully, Greg Grahman reaches out and graps his shirt and as the guy
 breaks away from him they call the Penn State guy for pushing off. IU went on
 to win double OT. In both OT's Penn State took leads only to have IU bounce back.
 Great game despite the awful call....

    The 'T' on Dean was the worst call ever in my book, cause clearly it
    was the work of a vindictive ref more interested in his own
    self-servitude than calling a fair and impartial game.
    
    However the 'Dean Toss' didn't affect the outcome of the game.  The
    idiots working the Penn State game simply robbed them of a 'W', plain and
    simple.  That in and of itself wouldn't be so bad, 'sept when you
    consider it would have to rank as the biggest basketball win in Penn
    State history.  Now *that* hurts.

14.59CNTROL::CHILDStake me to Roslyn CafeThu Feb 11 1993 11:3811
Just to set the record straight the "Dean Toss" was one great call by individual
who had enough of this fauz paux legend's whinny, and rules breaking and said
enough is enough plain and simple. Dean like Thompson and many others seems to
feel he is above the rules of the game because he's been there so long and the
refs should cow tow to him. Pavia a real man's main said enough is enough and
tossed him.

The head official of the Big Ten has come out stating that the ref blew the
call in the IU game. PSU's coach said thanks for nothing...

    You got that right.  I would not be a bit surprised to see Penn State
    go winless against Indiana for the next ten years.
    
    However, whatever outrage and pain might have been felt initially has 
    been mitigated by the media attention to the situation (every mention
    of the game I've heard on ESPN has been accompanied by "Penn State
    should have won"), Bob Knight's graciousness, the Big Ten response,
    etc.  Even in defeat it's *still* probably the shiningest moment in
    Penn State basketball history, even bigger than the win over UCLA in
    the NCAAs two years ago.  Penn State will have to work on improving on 
    that, of course, but eventually it'll happen...

    is No. 1 in country at this moment, payback in another sport can
    be just as sweet.  And let's not forget the football team.  PSU will
    have plenty of time to deal with IU in other sports.  I have a feeling
    that a loss like this will carry over to other sports.  I've seen
    it before and it seems likely that it will happen again.

Where's Mr T when you need him?

He needs to follow the advise he gave to Georgia Tech when they beat
Michigan St a few years back on Kenny Anderson's shot that was obviously
after the buzzer. Indiana should do the mainly thing and give the W to
Penn St and take the L.

If'n it had been any other team, and, of course, he was still around,
he'd be in here demanding the set the record straight.

Do you suppose that the ref who blew this call knew that the Big 10 was
really the Big 11 and that Penn St is now part of that league?

    The worst call in the history of basketball took place in March of
    1971, when Julius Erving, in his last college game, was called for
    his fourth foul with 2 minutes left in the FIRST HALF and Snuffy and
    his boys clinging to a 5 point lead.  Julius was two guys away when 
    the call was made, but the ref never bothered to move to see that there
    was another UMass guy between Erving and the Heel.  UNC went up by 9 at
    the half, then Julius fouled out with 17 minutes left, and the
    Snuffster poured it on without Erving in the lineup.  Kept his starters
    in until the final 3 minutes.  FInal score:  90-49.
    
    That was the worst call until last year, when that egomaniacal Wirtz
    called the T on Calipari in the Sweet 16 game vs Kentucky.  UMass
    closed an 18 point lead to 2 when Wirtz nailed Coach Cal for being
    out of the coaches box, even though the play was at the other end of
    the court.  It was a terrible call, and a terrible lack of judgment.
    
    UMass may have not won the game, but Wirtz took away any chance they
    had to win.  It was a disgrace.

    it highly doubtful he did it out of any spite.  Who knows though -

they hoped to improve their chances of getting an invite (I doubt it will 
happen, they have 2[?] games remaining with Syracuse, plus some other toughies).

Evans does rate low on the class-O-meter, form what I've seen.  The gist of what

    Holy Cross lost the Patriot League title with a solid drubbing by
    Bucknell.  I don't know what this does to their chances at an NCAA
    berth.
    
    However, the Women defeated Bucknell and seem to be a shoo-in for the
    NCAAs.

Arizona has all but locked up the #1 seed in the West. UNLV or Utah might
be the second seed, depending on how the rest of the games turn out.

Problem with Arizona is that they haven't played anyone (OK, almost
anyone). Certainly nothing like the schedules required for the ACC or
Big10. It will be interesting to see how well prepared they are for, say,
Michigan.

     Arizona's #3 ranking is more a testament to their soft schedule

    the Final Four, I'll come to work in a prom dress.

    Did you forget Vanderbilt, or do you think they're not one of the top

    Vandy is solid this year.  They are much like Kentucky of a year ago. 
    Expect Vandy to be in the Final 8 with a good shot at the Final 4.  I
    look for them to be no lower than a 3 seed, and they may get a number 2
    depending on how well they do in next weeks SEC tourny.

Tommy, that's was pretty eloquent way fo putting that Vandy suffers from WMD...

I saw the game the other night against Tennessee. Couldn't believe it 5 white
guys on the court all at once? no how no way. While the white boys brought em'
back, bro' Micmanan delievered em'...

Also I would think that Kentucky and Arkansas certainly would qualify as
athletic teams and my guess is Vandy atleast split with these guys....

    It's that time of year again: I flipped over to ESPN for about five

	as the 67th team, Niagara as 68th.  We know several teams below

Change in NCAA contest scoring.

I checked the rules from previous years and the scoring is  1 point for
round of 64, 2 for round of 32, 3 for round of 16, 4 for round of 8,
5 for semis, 6 for championship.

	I have decided to run a little tournament pool over the network.  There
is no gambling involved.
	Here are the instructions:
		1.  Put each selection on a single line with a carriage return
			immediately following each selection.
		2.  Put each selection on the line that corresponds to the
			numbers given below.
		3.  Spell each selection EXACTLY as it appears below. 
		4.  The winner will be the one to miss the least amount of 
			games.
		5.  Entries not in the specified format will be discarded.
		6.  Entries must be received by noon EST on
			Thursday March 18, 1993.I		
	
	NOTE:  My entry is located at the end of the post.  It should serve
		as an example of the correct format.
		
	#'s 1-32 are first round games
	#'s 33-48 are second round games
	#'s 49-56 are regional semifinals
	#'s 57-60 are regional finals
	#'s 61-62 are national semifinals
	#63 is the NCAA Champion

14.135Yet another NCAA contestLAGUNA::MAY_BRFirst weekend of sunburn seasonTue Mar 16 1993 15:5414
    
    Bored with the typical MArch Madness contests?  Too busy to take the
    time to fill in all the games?  How about a new idea:
    
    
          The Firsted Annual ACC Crisp Deathwatch Contest  
    
The Rules:
     Pick both the day UNC does their annual Snuffy choke AND the day ACC
    Crisp reappears in Sports.note.  Whoever's total is closest to the
    actual days is the winner.
    
    You can send you entries to me, but it'd be more fun to post them in
    here.
14.136METSNY::francusMets in '93Tue Mar 16 1993 16:136
Ok Brews, I'll start it off.

UNC loses in the round of 16. ACC Chris surprises us all and is in
the notesfile on Monday after a weekend of deep mourning.

    the day after UNC loses.

    and allows the Heels to escape with their lives, Cha-Cha-Shev-Ski will
    coach rings arounds Deano in the first game of the Final Four, and
    the Dookies will once again prevail against the Baby Blews.
    
         ACC Chris will immediately reappear, and assert the supremacy of

    Yabbut in a "typical, it was expected" section of the sprots nooz,
    
    In the Wimmins NCAA Tournament, the NCAA consecutive winning league
    game record holding team of the University of Berrmont Wimmin were ousted
    in the 1st round, loosing to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
    
    They finished the season at 28-1.  The interesting sidebar is that they
    duplicated last year's  performance, finishing undefeated in league
    competition and then getting booted in the 1st round!

    I'm not a Holy Cross fan, not by any stretch of the imagination. 
    
    But there's a lot of reasons why HC would be a more appealing sports
    story right now. This is the smallest school in the NCAA's. They
    stopped giving athletic scholarships. They are the school that gave
    Cousy and Heinson to the NBA and Hall Of Fame. I believe they're also
    the last (only?) New England school to ever win the NCAA tournament.
    With the exception of Penn, they probably are the academically oriented
    school in the tournament.
    
    All of which make them a rarity in the tournament and a better "human
    interest" sports story than UMASS.
    
    
    
    
    
    However, none of the above is likely to help them get very far into the
    tourney. This brings us to the last reason why there are quite a few HC
    stories in the sportspage now: They ain't gonna be around a whole lot
    longer to write about.

    Arizona! What a disaster. I knew I shouldn't have picked them to go to 
    the west finals. And Mills was one of my 8! At least he hit that 3
    pointer at the end. 
    
    Arizona has now bowed out in the 1st round two straight years-as a #3
    last year and a #2 this year.
    
    A quick comment about the CBS "coverage". Those 2:30 breaks just kill
    the whole flow of the game. Yes,every TV timeout,there are several per
    half,extend for 150 seconds. 
    
    Call me a complainer-I know we get the games for free,but ESPN did such
    a superior job. I really enjoyed the Seton Hall garbage time while
    there were several close games in other venues.
    
    Oh well,unless they  lose a wad of money the coverage will never
    change.

There are people who don't like the switching around between games (drive my dad

they don't let you see the end.  I personally have grown used to the ESPN style,

Penn's up 22-20 at the half.  Trice and Moore each have 3 fouls, which will
kill Penn in the second half.  UMass is shooting horribly from the field and
worse from the stripe.  Penn's FG % is also nothing to write home about.

re: Reeves and Montross

Reeves at this point seems to be far ahead of where Montross was lasted
year. Montross will play in the NBA and might even start but I'll be
surprised if he's any better than that. Shaq and Zo won't have much to
worry. Not putting Montross down - hail, he's on my tourney team - but he
looks closer to Koncak than Brad Daugherty in terms of NBA talent.

Reeves is another case altogether. He shows moments of real basketball
ability. I think he'll be one of the real stars next year in college.

    Data from round1.
    
    Most predicted upset was George Washington over New Mexico. Almost
    half of the people in the pool called that one. Nobody called the
    upsets of either Georgia Tech or Arizona.
    
    There were 4 people who called all the first round games in one
    bracket. Lots of folks got 7, some in more than 1 bracket.
    
    Bill Long got all the first round games in the East.
    Mike Heiser gott all the first round games in the Midwest.
    Ron Erickson got all the first round games in the Midwest.
    Glen Waugamann got all the first round games in the East.

Gonna be some interesting matchups.  I think Wake Forest will will the
Tenessee-Chatanooga/Northeast Lousiana game, Florida State looks good in the
Tulane/Evansville matchup, I like Vanderbilt in the Illinois/Boise State game,
and Southern really could make it interesting in the New Mexico/Georgia Tech
game.

    Virginia beat UMAss by 15 or so. UVA had a 17 point lead, UMass closed
    the gap to 4 with about 6 minutes left then UVA pulled away.
    
    Xavier gave Indiana a scare. Indiana led by 4 with 30 seconds left and
    Xavier was at the line for 2 foul shots. Xavier made 1, fouled, Indiana
    made 2. Not sure what the final was but it was a tight game for
    Indiana.

1 point for each first round win, 2 for each second round winner.

A few feats worth mentioning. Bill Long called the East region perfectly;
every first and every second round game. In another amazing feat, Nazz
got all 4 teams left in the SouthEast, and more impressively the 4 teams

14.248Michigan ripe to be upset?TNPUBS::MCCULLOUGHMelanie has a tooth!!!Mon Mar 22 1993 12:078
I think I was wrong about Michigan, I picked thime to win it all.  I thought 
that their talent would prevail.  After watching most of their game against 
Coastal Carolina, and some of yesterday's  game against the Broons, it appears 
that I was wrong.  They seem to be sleepwalking through these early round games,
thinking that they are theirs.  I suspect this will catch up with them 
eventually.

    I agree about Michigan. They were ready to be taken yesterday. I think
    they got their wakeup call. Nobody in the west can touch them so their
    next test will be in the semis.
    
    They may raise their level by then. Their weakness really showed
    yesterday.
    1) Bad boxing out.
    2) Poor foul shooting.
    
    Weber is some stud.

    Speaking of disasters:
    
    How about the Big 8? 13 tournament selections in the last two
    years,two sweet 16 berths. This conference is living off the success
    of Kansas. Nebraska has been knocked out in the first round 3 of the
    last 4 years and always looks bad losing. When was the last time
    Missouri made the second round? Iowa State couldn't even get to its
    obligatory round 2 exit.

I was sort of surprised that teams that were favored by 20+ points actually
covered. Often it is those games where the underdog has nothing to lose comes
out storming and keeps the game respectable.

14.267hard to tellHBAHBA::HAASNanook WannabeMon Mar 22 1993 20:2117
The size of the spread in college sports doesn't seem to matter as much
as pro sports. For instance, in football, you can almost make a living of
taking 14 or more points. Hail, even a double figure spread is hard to
cover in the NFL. But in college football, a 21+ point win is about as
common as a less than 3 point win.

Basketball is about the same. There seems to be limit to the number of
points they'll give any NBA team, even Dallas and Minnesota. But in
college, 20+ points is fairly common. 

In a tourney it's a little different since often there's nothing to go on
to compare 2 completely different teams.

And of course, maybe someone out there can see how the ratings predicted
the outcomes. Where's Jeff Sagarin when you need him?

14.268METSNY::francusMets in '93Mon Mar 22 1993 20:3311
re: .267

My rule of thumb in the NFL is to take the points when the spread goes
beyond 10 points (10.5+). It would be interesting to see what the real
data on that assumption is.

re: college: College football you see 30+ point spreads. Stuff you never
see in the NFL. Largest recent spread I can remember in the NFL was 49'ers 
against the Pats which was 18 points or so. Pats covered.

14.270NIT NOTEAKOCOA::BREENNIT=fun;NCAA=PoliticsTue Mar 23 1993 18:5018
    Perhaps I am only one interested in NIT, doesn't get much play.
    
    NCAA thought they would make it extinct by expanding but NIT bounced
    back with idea of hosting preliminary rounds locally and expanding
    themselves.  Of course gone are the Saturday quarterfinals - two in
    the aft. ; two at night with Irish Steam table and a lot if beer in
    between.
    
    Has anyone been noting some of the crowds - especially west of Newton?
    Somehow the mystique of NIT remains in midwest,south.. And if they make
    it to semis they bring the hordes to New York with them.  btw - going
    back to Ralph Samson freshman year (his only title) - What is
    Virginia's "local" nickname?  Cavaliers is official but thems call
    emselves something else which they used to chant incessantly?
    
    USA today has diagram of pairings and I will try to post them.

    BC picked up an extra home game in the NIT.  Instead of travelling to
    Providence to take on the Friars, the game will be held at BC because
    of a scheduling conflict at the Providence Civic Center.

This semi-neutral locale may be enough for m-o. Over-under is probably 99 here.

Other than Cinci the refs must have been the happiest people in the building 
Reese blew the dunk at the end of regulation. Shot was definitely good given
the replay but what a tough call to have to make.

There seemed to be fewer real upsets this year, especially in the later rounds.
The regional finals were 4 #1 seeds, 2 #2 seeds, a #3 and a #7. Final 4 are
3 #1 seeds - never happened before - and a #2 seed.

Bobby Cremins "retired" from GA Tech and decided to become the South Carolina
coach last week.   Then on Saturday, he changed his mind and reneged on the 
deal.   Another blow to the collective low esteem of USC.   You had to see
the newspapers and press coverage to understand the impact Cremins would have
made.   Columnists were claiming property values in Columbia would be going
up due to Cremins coming here.

Today's paper shows Bobby being hung in effigy down at one of the local
frat houses.

Cremins was wrong to back out, but coming to USC from GA TECH would
have been a step down.  USC has one of the most braindead athletic departments
I've ever seen.

Top candidates for the job are now the coaches from either Western Kentucky
or Washington State.   I'd like to see USC shoot for Mike Jarvis.   Apparently
USC has asked permission to talk to John Calipari at UMASS, but the AD there 
is not concerned.   He was quoted as saying he'd only be concerned if Calipari
got an offer from a better program  (zing!).


14.309Seedings leads ncaa poolAKOCOA::BREENNIT=fun;NCAA=PoliticsWed Mar 31 1993 13:467

    That would be 11,8,6,8 in se,west; 15,12,12,8 in east and midwest.
    
    With exception of umass-virginia east followed seedings all the way and
    Cal duke messed up midwest (except xavier was 9 to no's 8).

As promised, you will now receive the prediction from the west coast for
the new NCAA hoops champion.  Since you did not respond with your favorite
at my last prompt, I assume no responsibility, and will accept no jeers
if the prediction does not prove correct.  The envelope please:

final two: Kentucky vs North Carolina

final one: Kentucky

As an added bonus, you will get to watch Georgetown win the NIT tonight.

Please note: these predictions were made after having watched approximately
five halves of different games over the past year.  No doubt a larger sample
size would help increase the reliability of the choices, but my experience
in previous office pools is that the person with the least information about
the teams usually wins.  The ball, as they say, is in your court.

Subj:	RE: final 1

Since I'm starting this at 8:25, my NIT choice is valid!  

		Winnah: Minnysoda
I've seen GU several times this year and I also saw the NIT semi's.  Minny
is the better team.  Key is the play of Joey Brown (GU) and Othello (big
but needs help).  GU doesn't have the supporting cast AND Minny seems to
have the better coach (besides I don't like GU - despite Frank Rienzo
being the AD).

NCAA's:

No brainer on the final 2.  Michigan has a great 5 player line-up but they
stink as a team.  Key - if Michigan gets a 7 point lead early, they're 
trouble but Kentucky and Pittino are a tandem that can't be beat.  Ford
for player of the game.  Kentucky

UNC Tar Hells are playing the best.  The "all time recruiting class" of 2
years ago will easily defeat Kansas.  They don't have (without a major change
in the way they play) an answer to Eric Monstrosity (UNC-center) and the UNC
outside threat.  Gotta give Dean credit as a decent coach but he does have
a slight tendency to, ahem, choke in the big games.  Barring Snuffy Smith
pulling a bonehead move like he did last year ("how much time?=ejected),
UNC is easy to pick.

FINALS:

I hate UNC.  Their 32 appearances (with 1 win) and the Snuffy  record and the
network gushing is making me sick!  I really like Pittino.  BUT......

The way UNC is playing, with Snuffy's coaching them, I see UNC cutting off 
the nets at the end.  GAWD, I hate that thought.  I'm rooting for Kentucy
like you wouldn't believe but if I had $$$ on the results, I'd have to go with 
UNC.

I've been flat out for 2 weeks at work, 2 got laid off (20%) and the call
rate coming  + the degree of information is way up.  I'm supposed to be
doing the monthly report right now because there's no time during the day
to do it but ........ 

We're doing OK here.  As a matter of fact, I'd say we're doing very well.
We're very busy at home too so I guess that helps.

Hope your trip goes well and I'll keep in touch.

    Minnesota beat Georgetown 62-61 in the NIT final (than you Gophers for
    keeping Chappy and Childs from gushing in here too excessively :-).
    Georgetown had a 4-5 point lead and then Spencer got called for a
    technical and thrown out of the game for throwing a punch (punch
    missed). Minnesota went on an 11-2 run and had a 9-11 point lead late
    in the game. Georgetown scored the last 8 points (I think) and had the
    ball with almost no time left on the clock at the end but could not

    Chris,
    	I cannot be held responsible for Georgetown. I prayed they wouldn't
    make it to N.Y. but alas.  Minnesota played three good games and lived
    up to their past history of NIT successes although I can't quite recall
    when they won it all before.
    	I do recall seeing K. McHale play back in 70s and liked great hands
    he had.  That 45-41 was untypical for NIT but teams were really taking
    this years tournament seriously, coaches and players.
    	Looked like Minnesota had large group of fans down to garden.
    
    	I have friends that take the train down every year.
    
    Well on to ncaas.  With big 4 all into final show, hope refs can just
    call games straight, no more edge to seeded teams.
    
    Or do people think it's just an accident that 3 1s and a 2 are in final
    four.
    
    by the way I loved the Ashe version of N.D. fight song but speaking of 
    Tripucka, Laimbeer etc and N.C. loss in final of 77: as I recall N.C.
    UPSET Irish (semi-final?) but never were considered to have a shot at 
    Marquette. Big game that year was Marquette - North Carolina Charlotte.

    1977 final four:
    UNC beat UNLV in one semi and Marquette won at the buzzer against UNC
    charlotte(led by Cedric Maxwell). Tar Heels were a slight favorite in
    the finals. This was from Al McGuire's best Marquette team but his only
    NCAA champion. Bonus question: 1) Who was the final 4 MVP?
    
    UNC beat Notre Dame in East Regionals. Kelly Tripucka was a senior at
    Bloomfield(NJ) High School. Irish featured Duck Williams,Bruce Flowers
    and Bill Paterno. UNC withstood and injury to Walter Davis to win a
    great game at Cole field House (U of Maryland) by one point. They upset

    UNC also beat Notre Dame at south Bend in a round of 32 game(?) . ND's
    star was David Rivers. I think Kenny Smith made a key play near the end
    for  the Heels.
    
    That ND loss to Michigan in 1974 had to hurt. ND was #1 at the times
    led by
    Dantley,John Shumate and Gary Brokaw. Michigan was beaten by a Marquete
    in the finals and the Warriors went on to the title game where they
    lost to NC St.

Anfernee Hardaway has decided to go pro.  A bigger (!) story is that 
former BYU center Shawn Bradley at 7'7" has decided not to return to school
after his two year sabbatical and has decided to go pro instead.  Some
"experts" claim he might be the number one pick.  He needs to gain about 
50 pounds, I believe, or else risk being broken in half (two 3'9" guys?) 
by the Shaq.

One key factor in Bradley's decision was that there's supposedly going
to be a salary cap for draft picks starting next year.   That may influence
a number of other players to come out now.     If Montross, Glenn Robinson,
Mashburn, Webber, and Rodney Rogers come out, I think this year's draft will
be even deeper than last year's.    You might see guys like Hurley and 
Cheaney dropping down to picks 10-12 which would be amazing.

If you were an NBA GM would you take Montross or Bradley?  Remember, Bradley is
six inches taller, set an NCAA record for blocks as a freshman, is rated a 
better passer, and can definitely run the floor better.     I think Bradley
will have to play in the NBA tryout camps in order to guarantee a lottery 
pick.

    Championship game is set. UNC beat Kansas 78-68, game was close until
    the last few minutes. Michigan-Kentucky was a great game. Went to OT.
    Kentucky led by 4 in OT and then Mashburn fouled out. Michigan won by 3
    to set up a UNC-Michigan final.
    
    Below are the point totals after the semis - I will not be around to
    post final totals on Tuesday or Wednesday but we already have a winner.
    The only team left that anyone picked to win it all is Michigan and the
    leader picked Michigan; so it is just a matter of total points. I made
    a mistake last week and gave Mr. Burke 4 extra points, corrected in
    these totals.

14.331I like Michigan, but Dean might outdo Pitino's end-of-gameNAC::G_WAUGAMANMon Apr 05 1993 14:1827
    
    If Carolina pulls it off against Michigan, it won't be an upset, but
    they'll deserve every credit for this season's performance. 
    Personally, I think Michigan will be too much for them, because The
    Ring is just too close for these talented UM kids to become
    distracted as they were in the earlier rounds.  Magnificent game
    against Kentucky.  In the end, it was the Wildcats who appeared
    undisciplined.  Stupid foul for Mashburn to pick up with a three-point
    lead in OT, ill-advised 3-point attempt by Martinez later with the lead
    and mucho time left on the 40-second clock, and had any one of a few
    treys by Travis Ford gone down late in the game, Kentucky probably
    would have won.  But they didn't seem to have it all together...

    From what I'm hearing, Bradley is a lock as a lottery pick (you mean
    the top 3, right?).  Montross' limitations are known (although I'll bet 
    his stock is rising with his play in the NCAAs), but I don't think you can
    pass up the incredible possibilities of a 7'6" player with skills like
    Bradley's for perhaps a middle-of-the-pack center in Montross...

14.332BOX out....BUMP::MMARLANDMon Apr 05 1993 14:5114
    Should be good game, tonight. I don't know what  is with Michigan but
    they have been up for the taken since the UCLA game and some how keep
    coming out alive. kentucky had them until Mashburn fouled out, and
    couldn't understand how they could get the ball to their 3 point
    shooting guard ( name I forgot) in the final 10 seconds. But the key
    to beat Michigan is on the Offensive boards, with Howard, Webber and
    Riley banging Offensive glass, NC must box these guys out, they get way 
    to many uncontested rebounds and put backs. With the size of Montross
    and the reserve center they could get the job done tonight.
    
    Still think Michigan will fins a way again.

    	Hard to believe that such an "undisciplined" team (Michigan)
    could play such stifling defense when the game mattered.  Defense
    is hard work and I thought that was something the "naturally talented"
    Wolverines shunned?  If this team can beat the Heels without a true
    point guard or a consistent shooter hats off to Fisher and his young

    My pretournament pick of Michigan has continually looked shaky. After
    lucking out against UCLA and sleepwalking through GW and Temple,they
    looked beaten in OT by Kentucky until Mashburn fouled out.
    
    They did a fine job stopping Ford on Saturday. Michigan's big strength
    has been offensive rebounding. Lynch and Montross have to really play
    big tonight. I think the key player for Carolina in the tournament has
    been Donald williams. He has made the big shots in crunch time the last
    3 games. If he can make some early threes he can spread things out.

    /Don, I sure hope you don't have to change your p-name tomorrow.
    I do not like either team but for tonight I will hold my nose and root
    for Michigan.
    
    Fisher's coaching in the Kentucky game was superb, he showed me that he
    is a good coach and not just a chaperon of five spoiled but talented
    showboats.
    
    Pitino on the other hand was terrible.  It seems that he spent too much
    time believing all the press about Kentucky's invincibility and just
    like last year came up short.  Since Michigan took away Ford's shooting
    why Pitino did't have him go right at the defense and pick up fouls ?
    For #@X sakes, the guy is an 88% foul shooter.  Mashburn's 3rd foul was
    a bonehead play (he fouled the Michigan player bringing the ball
    upcourt) similar to the Duke game in 1991.  Pitino hang your head in
    shame for this one !!

I gotta go with Michigan tonight. I think the 5 players they have will be a 
bit too much for UNC to handle. Rodl won't be able to pass over the head of 
Rose to Montross and Weber is a lot smarter and quicker than Ostertag if he
gets the job to guard Montross.

One thing I will say is that Dean Smith has changed the system in the last 
2 years to take advantage of the personnal he has. I don't think that the 
Smith of 5 years ago would have adapted his game to use a player like Montross
to his full ability. This year he is gong with his strengths and it is paying
off in spades. Montross still hasn't convinced me that he'll be a top notch
NBA center but he's going to have a lot better career  than the journeyman 
Greg Kite style that many were predicting for him. He's got good hands and 2
scorng moves (even if he pushes off with the inside arm on his hook shot ala
Kareem). Ostertag is the definition of an NBA big stiff. Montross is already 
offensively ahead of what the georgetown big 3 (ewing, Motumbo,Morning) were when
they were in school and is probably better than what Siekaly was when he left 
to enter the pros. Defensively he's still an NBA stiff. No foot movement,
no rebounding. He'll really have to work on this in order to avoid getting
eaten alive by the Admiral, Hakeem and the other mobile centers.

Watching Michigan extend their defense to deny Kentucky the 3 point shot Sat
convinced me that Steve Fisher is a lot better coach than many have believed
also. I think we'll see Michigan deny the easy pass in to Montross and deny 
Williams the open 3 and see what Phelps, Reese & co can do to make up for it.

Definately the top 2 talented teams are in the finals this year. Both wins
were talent wins saturday. Kentucky and Kansas just didn't have the horses
to stay with UNC and Michigan. I was kind of suprised that Pitino didn't have
any more set plays to get Travis Ford open for 3's. They seemed to be inable 
to set him up for a screen. I still can't believe that Martinez has the
green light to shoot a 3...that was one stupid shot he took in OT.

Mashburn has to be a lottery pick....I'd take him over Cheany as the NCAA player
of the year...

I say Michigan by 5 tonight...

    Some miscellaneous points:
    
    o Michigan's "W" over UNC at the Rainbow Classic was tainted (their
      last two possessions were horror shows) BUT, ... they played most
      of the game without one of their starters (cain't remember his name)
      who seperated his shoulder early in the contest.
    
    o UNC's bench is *way* overrated.  They get minutes outa some guys
      cause Dean has the guts to play 'em, but this team is at its best
      when the starters get > 80% of the PT.  Foul problems could very 
      well be the story for either team.
    
    o Michigan is focused for sure, but main this Carolina team is *tough*.
      Anybody see Lynch get in Montross' face when he blew a defensive
      assignment against Kansas?!  Yikes.
    
    o Donald Williams has been absolutely huge the entire tournament.
      (In fact, the entire season.  He's UNC's ONLY outside threat, and
      he's big-time clutch.)
    
    o BobKnight can say what he wants about all those (like me) who follow
      HS recruiting, but the simple fact is that Michigan and Carolina had
      the best recruiting hauls over the last 2 years.

    Webber shouldn't be singled out for the mental mistake; it was a team
    effort down the stretch.  After Billy Packer issued the KOD by 
    woodying all over that stupid 5:00 stat (Michigan only lost three 
    games all season; how hard is it to find a point in the game from 
    which they didn't blow a lead?) right after Jalen nailed the big 3 to 
    put Michigan up 4, it was self-immolation time, baby!  Give Dean's 
    boys all the credit for being the better coached, more fundamental 
    team.  All of the common criticisms of Michigan came home to roost 
    from that point on.  Failure to gain control the ball in the wild
    scrambles off the boards.  Allowing Montross to go free underneath for 
    the wide-open jam after finally figuring out who Donald Williams was
    and screwing up the assignment on him in the halfcourt.  The big Rose 
    turnover trying to force it inside with the lane completely closed up 
    (which should have been the end if not for the heart-stopping-- right
    Chris?-- UNC out-of-bounds turnover).  Only after all that did Webber 
    add his contribution...

14.362MSBCS::BRYDIEThe Peter Principle in actionTue Apr 06 1993 13:468
    
       Michigan's big problem was and is that they don't have a true
     point guard. Jalen Rose is talented but he does a poor job of 
     guarding and distributing the ball. Webber shouldn't have even 
     been handling the ball at the end but given the structure of the 
     team he never even looks for Rose nor Rose for him. It's unfort-
     unate that Webber will probably wear the goat's horn because
     it's undeserved.

    College bball at the NCAA final Four usually comes down to a game of
    chess and Michigan had the wrong Fisher at the helm.
    
    Many people fell Fisher lost the game in the first half. I didn't watch
    the first 20 minutes of the game but is it true that Fisher made
    wholesale changes when he went up by 10? Big mistake.
    
    He admitted after the game that his kids are underachievers. I don't
    blame them for that...the blame lies with the coach.
    
    I wonder what would have happened if the ref had called Webber for 
    walking. With a chance for a steal Michigan would have been in better
    shape for sure.

14.366NC champs again..BUMP::MMARLANDTue Apr 06 1993 14:1913
    Great win by NC, congrats. The key to the win was rebounding and
    keeping the Michigan forwards from running wid on the boards. Can't
    fault Webber completely,bone head move , but the big guy never should
    have been with the ball, it's Rose's play to bring up the ball. I do
    agree that Fisher made a few mistakes by playing deep into his bench in
    the 1st half. It's better to win and and not play than play and not
    win. I think he was giving his Sr's someplaying time when they went up
    10-11 points, big mistake NC scrapped back and led at the half.
    
    Well, who'll go pro now for U Michigan. Will they try to get back or
    opt for the big $$$$.
    
    Mike 
14.367ROYALT::ASHEGuess who just got back today...Tue Apr 06 1993 14:1926
    I don't think Fisher did a bad job.  I thought he tried to get his
    guys rest when they were up because the game wasn't going to be decided
    in the first half.
    
    UNC got more breaks than Michigan.  Seemed like in the first half,
    Michigan got called for more ticky tack fouls.  Not whining, just the
    way my roommates and I saw it.  Example was when Montross knocked Riley
    over in the lane and then Jackson got called when blocking the shot to
    get his 3rd foul.  Also it seemed like a lot of UNC shots went around
    the rim and in.  Michigan's went around and out.  Breaks of the game,
    have to execute.
    
    Webber heard someone yell "time out". I guess the bench was yelling "No
    timeouts".  Yeah, he screwed up, he admitted.  As Keith Jackson would
    say "He's only a sophomore...".  The ref probably knew Michigan didn't
    have a time out and ignored him the first time he tried to call it, and
    that caused the walk.  Rose was covered, but he didn't make a real
    effort for the ball.  Webber made a good play bringing it upcourt for a
    guy 6'11".   And don't forget he 1) got the rebound instead of having
    it go back to UNC, and 2) he brought them back to 1 with a tip-in.  I
    don't think he was a goat. These things happen.
    
    Just hope this means that Webber comes back next year with something to
    prove.   Congrats to the Snuffer....  Vitale's already made UNC #1 for
    next year, so they won't be overachieving if they repeat...
    
14.368ROYALT::ASHESounds like.. when doves cryTue Apr 06 1993 14:3412
    How come I don't see where Michigan went "deep" into the bench?
    Michigan was in the game, and had who, Howard, King and Jackson all
    with 2 fouls?  Riley is the 6th man.  Pelinka is their 3 point shooter
    and hit some key 3's early.  Are you guys talking about Voskuil and 
    Talley?  They've played all season, Talley's the only one who may have
    not seen a lot of playing time in the tournament.  He's the backup
    point guard though.  With Carolina throwing 10 people at them, you need
    to rest Rose at some point.  I don't see where the big mistake was.
    
    I also thought it was smart to bring in the subs to commit the fouls
    with less than 2 minutes to go to get to where the next foul put you in
    the penalty. Otherwise, UNC sits on the ball and the game's over.
14.369DUGROS::ROSSBillBuckner,FredMerkle,ChrisWebberTue Apr 06 1993 14:375
The ref who ignored the traveling call on Webber at the end should be banned
from any future tournaments.   What did he think it was, the NBA?   It's
blatant use of a different set of rules at the end of a game that brings about
the lack of respect for the referees.   It was a gutless no-call.

14.370NAC::G_WAUGAMANTue Apr 06 1993 15:038
    
    I didn't see anything unusual with Fisher's substitutions in the first
    half, with the possible exception of Webber sitting the 3-4 minutes
    leading into the half.  That might have allowed UNC to take the 6 point
    lead, instead of maybe an even game...

I'm glad to see a few of you have brought this up.  No true, responsible
point guard stands there and makes no effort to get the ball from the
big guy, with the game on the line.  Rose owns the goat horns.  He's
SUPPOSED TO be handling the ball/making the decisions, not Webber.  I
hope the media is smart enough to pick this up and let Webber off the
hook.


As for turning pro, Webber should go.  Rose stinks.  No way he should
go now.  He may not be good enough when he's done with college ball
2 years from now.


re: substitutions

Both coaches made questionable substitutions throughout.  I can see
players being exhausted much quicker in this type of game because of
the energy spent (physically, emotionally, mentally), requiring
more substitutions, but to go as deep as these two went, and for
as long, is beyond me.  I disagree with the statement that "the
game wasn't going to be won in the 1st half anyway"...every minute
of a game contributes to the result at the end, and I think Fisher's
bench-clearing when they were up ten was stupid...especially given
the length of time guys like Talley and Voskil were on the floor.

    	Congrats Chris.  The 'Rev finally did something with his truckload

    mistake in my job I would be fishing through the recycle bins for
    food money, while Chris if he so decides will be rewarded with a

    I don't see anyone leaving this year except for maybe Webber off of
    Michigan.
    
    As for the use of Talley and Voskuil, like I said, they went 9 deep
    all year, it wasn't a case of someone who averaged 1 minute a game
    in cleanup time getting into the game.  Michigan had an uptempo game
    and had guys in foul trouble.  I saw nothing out of the ordinary about
    it.

    Of all the reasons I've seen in here for the outcome of the game, I'd
    have so say that all are somewhat valid.  That's BB.  Lot's and lot's
    of action, continual movement and decision-making by the players and
    refs.  Coaches seeing something they want to change, but no chance
    while the action is taking place, to me it and hockey are much, much
    more reactive games than say football and baseball.  So talent isn't
    always the true measuring stick, althought it is always a part of that
    stick.  How about maturity, experience, self-control, confidence.  I'd
    say Michigan was somewhat lower on these scales than N.C., but that may
    or may not be due to their age.
    
    If Michigan stays together, which many seem to doubt, then I'd have
    them as the favorites for the next two years.  Playing together over
    such a span can lead to the sum of the team play being greater than the
    individual players.  They learn to instinctively know what their
    teammates will do in certain situations.  Being so young, they may have
    a good inkling of that, but then experience and maturity enter the
    picture.
    
    So, congrats to both coaches for getting their teams there, congrats to
    both teams for a fine game.  I honestly expected a blowout by one team
    or another, as I told Daryll yesterday.  It's good for college
    basketball to have the championship game go the limit.

1992-93 proved to be a very enjoyable college basketball season.  Each
year, I find college hoops more fun to watch than the pros.   The NBA game
lacks the broad range of possibilities that the  college game offers... its
a star league, a ref league, and a media league.   College hoop is a team
game, a coaches game, and a fan's game.

    I heard that there is speculation that the NBA may freeze salaries for
    draftees after this years draft, a thought that if believed may lead to
    quite a quality draft this year.
    
    The only possible problem is how it relates to what did seem to be an

14.379Random thoughts on lasted night's gameTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass - 2-time A10 Champ!Tue Apr 06 1993 19:2621
    Did Michigan shoot any free throws in the second half?
    
    Webber pulled a Freddie Brown, and he has to learn to live with it.
    Sure, Rose should've come to the ball, but Webber lost his poise.
    
    Other key to the game IMO is that Michigan couldn't stop the incredible
    shooting of Donald Williams  Has any player come on more in the tourney
    history than this guy?  What a sensational performance!
    
    Bonehead turnover by Rose with a minute and a half left, but nobody
    will remember that - just Webber's mistake.
    
    I actually feel kinda bad for Dean that his second championship is just
    as tainted by controversy as his first.
    
    Eric Montross = Greg Kite of the '90s.
    
    Michigan would have been much better off if the traveling call was
    made on Webber with 20 seconds left.

    C'mon Nazz,
    You've been around BBall for such a long time man, you can't be
    serious that this was a "tainted" win. I don't seem how. Michigan
    didn't "give" this to UNC, the Heels took it. Would you call the
    Celtics' champeenships of '62 and '69 "tainted" because Selvy "blew"
    an open 10 footer in '62 and Sam sank a heave in '69?  I doubt it.
    
    But I'll agree with you on Williams, he was on target!  And Jalen Rose
    had a pretty poor final coupla minutes also.  The guy I thought coulda
    ben labeled a 'goat for UNC was Reese. His "pirouette" out opf bounds
    was incredulous.

          I gotta agree with Nazz to win a Championship when the other team

    Smith's comments afterward confirm a bad case of taintitis (tm). Will
    his epitaph read "Dean Smith the all time leader in wins who led his
    North Carolina teams to two tainted NCAA titles"?
    
    I doubt it. There is enormous pressure at end of a championship game.
    Mistakes happen. What if Howard Triche of Syrexcuse makes his free
    throws-does that taint Indiana .
    
    Does anybody mention how Rumeal Robinson was hardly touched in 1989
    against Seton Hall. Close games are decided by plays like these. 
    What if Donald Williams had choked on the free throws and Michigan had
    miraculously  taken the game to overtime? If UNC won under that
    scenario would it be any more real? 
    
    Give UNC credit for forcing Michigan to call early timeouts which led
    to the precarious situation in the end. Ultimately the Fab 5's luck ran
    out. If Mashburn doesn't foul out in OT its Kentucky in the finals.
    If Tarver doesn't blow a layup  UCLA would have eliminated them in
    round 2.
    
    NCAA championships are decided by crunch time heroics. All of
    Carolina's games after the URI blowout were decided in the final two
    minutes. The Tar Heels had the player of the tournament donald Williams
    on their side. In all 4 games he made crucial shots just like Michael
    Jordan had done 11 years hence.
    
    The smith bashers will not be happy until UNC smashes someone by 30
    points in the finals and even then I'm sure there will something to
    grouse about. It goes with the territory.
14.383DECWET::METZGERDilbert works for DECTue Apr 06 1993 21:0618
Tainted, schmainted...the team that scores the most points wins the game. There
is nothing "tainted" about winning the championship unless the other team 
doesn't show up.

Congrats to UNC. I didn't get to see the game but from all accounts it was
a humdinger. I think Smith showed some very good coaching during the course of
the season and the tourney by giving Williams the A.O.K. to shoot whenever he
wanted to and by using Montross effectively against smaller opposition.

Here's hoping the Fab 5 decide to stay in school for another year and come back
to wipe the taste of defeat from their mouths....I think Rose said it best 
before the West regional finals "We ain't won nothing yet,no big 10 title,
no national championship, nothing."

If last's night win was tainted, it's only because Michigan should never
have been there.  Everyone seems to have forgotten their last second,
after the shot clock expired, winning shot against UCLA.  Now that's
a tainted win.

I'm not a UNC fan nor a Michigan fan, but UNC played better than Michigan
and deserved the win.  And I wouldn't consider Webber the goat, either.
If it weren't for his excellent play in the first 59 minutes and
49 seconds, a blown time-out call wouldn't have made the least bit
of difference.

JMHO,

    Negative.  The put-back came after the initial shot hit the rim,
    resetting the clock, and after review of the tapes everyone 
    acknowledges that the refs made the right call.
    
    There is nothing "tainted" about UNC's win, but from (mostly) an
    impartial fan's perspective, plays like Freddie Brown's and Webber's 
    do kinda drain the tension and suspense from the game, and leave you
    wondering might have been.  That's on both sides of the ball. 
    There's nothing like the ball being the air with no time on the clock
    with both sides waiting for it to come down.  Shooting technicals on
    the other end just doesn't quite cut it... ;-)
    
    Plus, despite what /Don says, you do feel bad for the guy who pulled
    the rock in a way you wouldn't if he'd simply missed a shot or

to answer Nazz's question no Michigan did not go to the line in the second
half, but hey that's how it is in all UNC games. I got no problems with the
amount of times UNC goes to the line in a game because their game is an inside

players like Montross, Lynch and company don't commit fouls at the other end

    The only Final Four I've had the privilege to attend was the one that
    featured the aforementioned Mr. Lewis in 1983, when Phi Slamma Jamma
    lost to the miracle slam by Lorenzo Charles and sent Jimmy V off
    trying to find somebody to hug.
    
    If you remember that game, NC St. was up on Houston early, and it was
    tight at the half, with neither team shooting well.  But midway through
    the second half, Houston went on a run similar to the one they nailed
    Louisville with in the semifinals (in the most explosive college game
    I've ever seen!).  The Cougars go up by 8 with seven minutes left, 
    and Lewis, in his coaching genius, calls for the stall.  He destroys
    his team's momentum, and lets State back into the game.  Valvano has
    his guys foul on every possession, and Houston isn't what you'd call 
    a great foul shooting team.  When Michael Young (Celtics #1 draft pick 
    flop) misses the final one-and-one, it sets up Derek Whittenberg's
    miss and Charles' jam to win it.
    
    That was not a tainted win.  Keith Smart nailing the jumper was not a 
    tainted win, even though Syracuse failed to call timeout immediately.
    Duke's win over UNLV was not tainted, because although the Rebels did
    gag a bit, Duke made the plays to win the game.  In this case, the 
    Heels did not make the play to win the game.  The game ended by
    depriving us a chance to have either team win; Michigan lost it.
    
    BTW, here were the starting fives for that championship game 10 years
    ago:
    
    	Houston			North Carolina State
    C	Akeem Olajuwon		Cozell McQueen
    F	Larry Micheaux		Thurl Bailey

  Recruiting expert Bob Gibbons does not usually criticize most college 
programs, but he really lays into Bob Huggins and Cincinnati in his latest
newsletter.  I find it interesting enough to see what other readers, and
most especially Cincinnati fans, think of his comments.  Please note that I
do not necessarily agree with his comments, so hold the flames down.
 [beginning of article]
  "You do not have to be much of a skeptic to doubt the credibility of the
move by Cincinnati recruit Dontonio Wingfield from Albany, GA, to Cincinnati,
OH.  This occurred after it became known that Wingfield would not pass enough
subjects to graduate from high school in Georgia.  However, he could
possibly get a diploma in Cincinnati, since fewer credits are required.  So,
after Wingfield finished his basketball season at Albany, GA, Westover HS, he
withdrew from school.  Wingfield played in the McDonald's All-American Game
in Memphis, and then enrolled at Taft HSA in Cincinnati around mid-April.
One might ask, how does a high school student, with no known income and little
if any financial support from his family, accomplish this move.
   The U. of Cincinnati basketball office naturally has avowed "no knowledge"
of this entire affair.  According to published reports, Wingfield is now 
living in Cincinnati with an "uncle" of his former legal guardian in Albany...
Reportedly, Wingfield recently flew back to Albany to attend his senior prom...
Draw your own conclusions about this unbelievable situation.  We certainly
have ours.
    It is particularly troubling that an individual who has attended high
school for four years in one city and failed to meet the requirements for a 
high school diploma there, can simply move to another state and in a period of
six weeks or less can graduate from high school!!! That could set a very
dangerous precedent....However, the older we get, the more certain we are that
people never really get away with their "slick manuevering" and unscrupulous
actions.  "What goes around, comes around."
    I remember some nine years ago when NC State recruited a young giant with
great abilities by the name of Chris Washburn.  They avowed that Washburn
would "make their program".  At the time I predicted "he would break their
program."....And now Cincinnati Coach Bob Huggins says "Dontonio Wingfield
will make his program at Cincinnati".  In my opinion, Huggins and Wingfield
deserve each other.  And, combined they could bring Bearcat basketball to the
level of the old UNLV teams, warts and all.
  At this writing there was considerable controversy concerning the possible
forced release of All-American 6-6 G/F Damon Flint by Ohio State.
  Reportedly, if Flint is released, he would sign with Cincinnati, the 
school that, reportedly, notified the NCAA of OSU's alleged recruiting 
violation. [this just happened]  Cincinnati has already signed six players,
and still does not have a point guard to replace Nick Van Exel.  Damon Flint
is certainly not a point guard.  However, Flint could receive the scholarship
that Huggins gave to 6-10 C Arthur Long, Dodge City, KS CC, who was
recently arrested on drug charges.

14.408College game migrating to NBA rules? Yes and no.RHETT::KNORRCarolina BlueWed Jul 28 1993 00:2222
    There are several (4) important rules changes in college basketball
    this year that we should all become familiar with:
    
    1. The shot clock is being reduced from :45 to :35 seconds;
    2. The 5-second violation while dribbling violation has been 
       eliminated;
    3. The definition of an intentional foul has been modified, such
       that an intentional foul can be called if excessive contact is
       used while fouling;
    4. The game clock automatically stops after made field goals in the
       last minute of regulation and overtime(s).
    
    I've got no problems with 1, 3, or 4, but, IMO, the 5-second violation
    rewards good defense, which I like.  I'd also like to see the
    elimination of the 10-foul rule.  (i.e. after the 10th foul you stop
    shooting 1&1's and start shooting 2)  This rule was intended to speed
    the game and has had the opposite effect.  We should encourage good
    free throw shooting, which my unscientific survey shows to be
    deteriorating as a nation.

14.409I like itWMOIS::REEVE_CWed Jul 28 1993 14:448
    I like all these rule changes. They should speed up the game and add
    excitement. The bogus 5 second rule was more a test of referee's
    counting ability than a mark of good defense. The reward for good
    defense is the prevention of an easy shot or a steal, not a toot from
    the ref. Refs are too much of a factor in the college game today and
    anything that shifts focus from the refs to the players is positive.

14.410modify rules on offensive foulAKOCOA::BREENHello Warner, about that NESN subscriptionWed Jul 28 1993 15:1517
    One rule which apparently is an unwritten one in the NBA but should be
    standardized concerns the charge call and the practice of finding a
    spot under the basket and waiting for a player who has passed his own
    defender and taking a charge.
    
    I would define an area of about 2' radius from the point underneath the
    basket and make it a no-charge zone.  I have heard nba players who
    are announcing refer to this area and state that refs will not call the
    charge when it occurs "under the basket".
    
    This will bring back the drive to the basket which is still allowed in
    some conferences (big 8) and obsolete in others (big east) because of
    the call of a charge where (non)defender has simply stood under the
    basket.
    
    Tripucka and Laimbeer virtually invented the technique which should be
    called "Tripuking"
14.411Keep the 10-foul ruleSMAUG::LOVEJOYFri Aug 06 1993 19:136
    
    I thought the 10 foul rule was not just to speed up the game, but
    also not making it beneficial to the team that is fouling.

14.413Wingfield spells trouble.RHETT::KNORRCarolina BlueWed Sep 15 1993 17:4916
    Dontonio Wingfield, the superb 6-9 forward signed by the Cincinnati
    Bearcats, has been arrested in his hometown of Albany, GA.  Wingfield
    started "tearing up the kitchen" when his mom refused to let him use
    her car.  He then resisted arrest after she called the coppers on him,
    allegedly kicking one in the gut and another in the leg.
    
    This is not the first time Wingfield has been in trouble and it won't
    be the last (IMHO).  Before moving to Cincinnati to attend HS he'd been
    suspended by his high school (Westover) for several games.  He'd also
    been booted out of a state championship semifinal game for cursing an
    official.
    
    Good luck to Cincinnati with this problem child.

More problems for Cincinnati:

Cincinnati announced basketball guard LaZelle Durden has been declared
academically ineligible for the fall semester. I believe that it was a
case of not getting the necessary number of credits which I guess means
he didn't pass enough classes.

14.418Tar Heels No. 1HBAHBA::HAASNo sir. I don't like it.Tue Nov 16 1993 13:24110
Article: 9865
From: clarinews@clarinet.com (JEFF SHAIN, UPI College Basketball Correspondent)
Newsgroups: clari.sports.basketball,clari.sports.basketball.college,clari.sports.top
Subject: Tar Heels to defend title from No. 1 position
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 93 21:41:08 EST
 
	The biggest thing standing in the way of a repeat NCAA basketball
championship at North Carolina may be an embarrassment of riches.
	With four starters returning from last year's 34-4 squad and perhaps
the best recruiting class in the nation, the usually understated Coach
Dean Smith acknowledges the Tar Heels are loaded.
	``We should be good, there's no doubt,'' Smith said in an unusual
show of enthusiasm.
	Members of the UPI college basketball ratings panel agree
wholeheartedly, as the Tar Heels were the unanimous choice as the
preseason No. 1 team in the country.
	North Carolina collected all 18 first-place votes from UPI's panel of
sports information directors from across the country, opening with a
perfect total of 450 points.
	Southeastern Conference rivals Arkansas and Kentucky were next in the
balloting, with the Razorbacks earning 409 points to hold a slight edge
over the Wildcats, who had 402.
	Duke, the 1992 NCAA champion, was fourth and two-time NCAA runner-up
Michigan was fifth.
	The basketball crop along Tobacco Road is fertile again, and nowhere
more so than at North Carolina, which gave Smith his second national
title in 11 years when it topped Michigan in the championship game.
	Back are starting guards Derrick Phelps at the point and sharpshooter
Donald Williams on the perimeter. And they're not even the best part of
the North Carolina attack.
	The Tar Heels' front line is as talent-laden as any in the country,
anchored by 7-foot center Eric Montross, a second-team All-America last
season. He averaged 15.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a junior
last season.
	Add to that returning starter Brian Reese at one forward and a wealth
of possibilities to choose from at the other spot -- senior Pat Sullivan,
sophomore Ed Geth or two of the most highly touted recruits among this
year's freshmen in 6-10 Rasheed Wallace and 6-6 Jerry Stackhouse.
	``Our problem is we have too much,'' said Smith, who ranks second on
the all-time NCAA Division I coaching list with 774 wins. ``Our 12th man
should think he can play, and that's not the best way to have a team.''
	If there is a team that has the ability to knock the Tar Heels off
their throne, it could come from the SEC. Arkansas in the West and
Kentucky in the East should claim their respective division titles and
collide in March in the title game of the league tournament.
	No. 2 Arkansas, which was eliminated in the Sweet 16 by North
Carolina last season, uses a plethora of guards led by Corey Beck and
Scotty Thurman to press its way to success. The Razorbacks also can
depend more on their frontcourt this year, with Corliss Williamson and
Swight Stewart coming off solid years and freshman Darnell Robinson
expected to make an early impact.
	``We have some bigger guys, but we'll still be quick and we won't
change our style,'' Arkansas Coach Nolan Richardson said.
	No. 3 Kentucky lost All-America Jamal Mashburn, meaning his former
supporting cast must step up. Rodrick Rhodes was erratic and Rodney Dent
was foul-prone in the middle. But the Wildcats have perhaps the nation's
best 3-point bomber in Travis Ford.
	The fortunes of No. 4 Duke will rest largely on the shoulders of
Grant Hill, a multifaceted talent who can play several positions on the
floor.
	``It would be ridiculous for anybody, with the opportunity to coach a
Grant Hill, to have him do just one thing,'' Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski
said.
	Hill won't have Bobby Hurley complementing him at the point (in fact,
he may have to play the point himself), and he'll have to avoid the
injury bug that has plagued him over the last two years.
	Chris Webber's early departure to the NBA has reduced No. 5 Michigan
to the Fab Four, but it's still a pretty formidable crop of juniors
Coach Steve Fisher can throw out on the floor.
	Guard Jalen Rose and center Juwan Howard will try to pick up the
scoring load, and Jimmy King and Ray Jackson are still around to
contribute. Following them, though, is little experience.
	``The fifth starter? I don't know,'' Fisher said. ``The loss of
Webber creates a huge void.''
	The bench also is a problem, with the loss of such role players as
James Voskuil, Eric Riley and Rob Pelinka.
	No. 6 California wasn't even ranked in the final regular-season
ratings last year, but caught fire down the stretch and eliminated Duke
in the second round of the NCAAs.
	Guard Jason Kidd may be the premier player in the college game today,
blossoming into a force last year after Todd Bozeman took over from the
fired Lou Campanelli midway through the season. Forwards Alfred Grigsby
and Lamond Murray will try to take the pressure off their prize
sophomore.
	``There's going to be a lot of hype, but our job is to focus on the
business at hand,'' Bozeman said.
	No. 7 Louisville and No. 8 Kansas both finished high at the end of
last season, while No. 9 Temple and No. 10 Minnesota crack the Top 10
after finishing last year unranked.
	Temple returns its top six players from a team that made a strong run
in the NCAAs before being eliminated by Michigan in the West Regional
finals. However, the Owls have a brutal early schedule that won't prove
its worth until March.
	Minnesota is the defending NIT champion and has all five starters
back, including NIT MVP Voshon Lenard.
	No. 11 Oklahoma State, led by 7-footer Bryant ``Big Country'' Reeves,
opens the second 10. The Cowboys are followed by No. 12 Georgia Tech and
No. 13 Indiana, which lost four of its top six players from last year's
team that finished the regular season ranked No. 1.
	UCLA, with Ed O'Bannon joined this year by little brother Charles,
was ranked 14th and Virginia 15th. No. 16 Georgetown, led by 7-footer
Othella Harrington, was followed by No. 17 Arizona and No. 18 Illinois.
	Cincinnati, which must replace all five of its starters from last
season, nevertheless opens at No. 19, with Massachusetts 20th. Syracuse,
back from a one-year ban from the NCAA Tournament, was ranked 21st.
	There was a tie for 22nd between Florida State and Purdue, while No.
24 Marquette and No. 25 George Washington complete the list.
	In keeping with longtime UPI policy, teams barred from the NCAA
Tournament are not eligible for Top 25 consideration by the UPI ratings
panel. Currently, no schools are under such sanctions.

Well, St Johns takes on Towson State tonight.

I don't know about basketball but Towson State used to have one of the
top jazz bands in the country.

Also heard on the FAN that St John's is officially retiring the nickname
"Redmen", but they haven't announced a new nickname yet.

Perhaps for a while they'll be known as those in the service with no
middle name:

		John NMI Doe

NMI standing for No Middle Initial.....


So I could see something like that St John's University NCN

NCN standing for No Current Nickname....

    Harris is a 6'1" G, who averaged 14 ppg, 5 rpg and 3 apg for the NY

    Good job of defining how you HAVE missed the point.  The ACC will
    absolutely lock up a top-notch stud that's within its geographic 
    boundaries, as will the Big10.  
    
    The reason the Big East has dropped off in comparison to these
    heavyweights is cause they can't lock down their own talent.  We can
    debate the reasons, but the simple fact is that the NYC area is the
    most fertile in the USA for basketball recruiting, and last I checked,
    NYC is a Big East town, and they ain't the best conference in the
    country.  (Not even close.)

    This is absolute 100% hogwash.  UNC's top recruiting priority is
    *always* in-state kids, and through the years we've landed the bulk of
    the top talent.

    o Buzz Peterson
    o Michael Jordan
    o Kenny Williams (Carolina signed him, but he failed to qualify

    is a national school and can recruit from anywhere.  Like Notre Dame in

    You are correct. UNC has often been underrepresented on its basketball
    by instate players. The state of North Carolina has always been near
    the top in producing high school talent. 
    
    UNC is not the only state school that goes national in trying to
    procure top talent. The Tar Heels are nationally known and benefit from
    that rep in recruiting.
14.445UNC recruits internationally too, but we DON'T hire guns ...RHETT::KNORRCarolina BlueWed Nov 24 1993 19:1615
    There's no question that UNC has the ability to recruit nationally.  So
    does Duke.  (In basketball, BTW, Notre Dame *doesn't* because they're
    not in a major conference and they don't get the TV exposure.)
    
    Carolina has been mining NYC talent since the 50's.  (Their 1957
    Champeenship team - the one that beat Wilt Chamberlain - was largely
    made up of New York players.)
    
    But the fact is UNC will ALWAYS look *first* at in-state players. 
    (This is virtually a direct quote I've heard Dean make numerous times.) 
    The fact that there aren't enough top-notch studs in North Carolina to
    make up an entire Tar Heel roster is axiomatic.

	At the same time, any kid who goes there (even HIS kid) *SHOULD* 
        know exactly what they're getting into.  It's well-documented and 
        heavily publicized.  If that's not the environment they want they 
        should cross Indiana off of their list when they're being recruited 
	(a lot of them do) or, if they're already there, transfer (again,
	quite a few do).

	As an alum and a fan, I find the behavior embarrassing.  As a fan,

    Well it looks like we've finally got an answer for the inherient
    unfairness of Prop48.  It's always been a mystery to me how supposedly
    intelligent people came up with an algorithm that robs from the poor
    (i.e. if you're a non-qualifier you've gotta pay for your own first
    year tuition) and makes graduating more difficult for the less
    intelligent (non-qualifiers cannot be red-shirted), ..... and now we
    know.
    
    In case you missed the answer, it seems the whistle has been blown on
    the fact that a goodly number of psychologists who supply the NCAA
    decision-makers with academic statistics are into eugenics in a big
    way.  Specifically, they're into a scary pseudo-science called Beyondism
    which has two (2) main pillars to its philosophy:
    
    1. People of superior intellectual ability and valuable social traits
       should be encouraged to have large families and favored in every
       way.
    
    2. Control people who have negative traits.

Who blew the whistle? The coaches that want to lower the academic requirements
for athletes? The guys that think sports are more important than education. The
guys that want to send a message to the youths of America that it's O.k. not to
study if you can dribble or throw because we'll get you into college anyway (if
you're good enough..than we'll make some cash off of you and throw  you away
like a used kleenex when you're past usefullness for us)

The limits on prop 48 you mentioned are wrong. If fact I'm in favor of
mandatory red-shirting for prop 48 athletes, give them a full scholarship from
day 1 and give them 1 year to concentrate on the books only with a maximum
amount of practice time per week.

What's the motive behind some of these people though?

    Alright, who let MrT back onto the network?  I suppose the NCAA is
    secretly sterilizing its Prop-48 students as one of the requirements, 
    too.  How else could NCAA eligibility be tied into the stated goal of 
    selective population control?
    
    By the way, I don't believe that the no-redshirt rule deprives the
    athlete of that last year on scholarship, the fifth year in school 
    (athletes can still stay in school on scholarship after their athletic 
    eligibility has expired).  If anything, the rule was instituted to 
    prevent your more unscrupulous coaches from making Prop-48s automatic
    redshirts, so they can get their full four athletic years in regardless 
    and almost totally defeat the incentive to meet the academic standards.  
    The comment that the NCAA prejudicially "makes graduating more difficult 
    for the less intelligent" is just a little bit ridiculous, when in 
    essence what you're saying is that the NCAA has the audacity to demand 
    that athletes graduate on four years' worth of scholarship like most
    everyone else has to...

    That is correct Mac, they are not allowed to hold any type of job
    during the school year.  During the summer though they can work,
    although most players at this level dedicate the off-season to summer
    classes, physical training, and of course basketball.
    
    Redshirts bring in millions to the University because the player still
    will have four (4) years of eligibility.  This contrasts with Prop48
    casualties who, because of eugenics psychologists who want to penalyze
    these folks because they supposedly can't contribute to society enough,
    are only granted three (3) years of eligibility.

    More "part" than "all".  The supposed discrimination taking place here
    still leaves the student with the financial aid benefits available to 
    all other students (which are significant in most cases involving the 
    truly poor athletes you've referred to), followed up with the four-year 
    scholarship.  Amazingly enough, this draconian restriction still somehow 
    allows Prop-48 athletes to be recruited, attend school and play sports, 
    and even successfully graduate (unless the athlete wants to go someplace 
    which bans them outright, like the ACC-- where apparently they don't 
    just like the Prop-48 rule as it stands but go one further in embracing 
    wholesale the supposed "eugenics" philosophy behind it).
    
    We've been through all of this 100 times, Chris.  When Dean Smith by
    his own choice hadn't recruited any Prop-48 athletes (before the ACC 
    rule) and the guy across campus Mack Brown was doing so, you dumped on 
    Brown and bragged about how Dean was commendably exercising his right to 
    select his kind of kids, the ones he felt could succeed in the classroom.  
    Then when Dean stated that in spite of his own high personal standards 
    that he opposed Prop-48 as a universal rule, you of course were forced to 
    change your position on this standard.  Given the mess that had come about 
    under the Jerry Tarkanians of college sports, I still have no problems with 
    institutionalizing such rules for Div 1-A (in principle; this isn't to 
    say that the rule is perfect or can't be improved), because schools and 
    coaches proved themselves incapable of voluntarily behaving responsibly, 
    as Smith and some others coaches did.  It's that simple; most coaches 
    didn't back up all of their idealistic talk and found themselves
    knee-deep in sleaze (as the 0% graduation rates that you're so fond of
    pointing out attest to), and the schools took action for them.  I still
    don't trust the coaches, this ridiculous eugenics red-herring (all of
    the colleges in America acting in collusion!) that they're now throwing 
    out aside...

    Sharone Wright and Devin Gray, and Cliff Ellis (as is his norm) has

    ESPN2 has been carrying quite a few college games. Now, my first
    bitch is that my shithead cable monopoly hasn't added the station
    to Arlington, just Cambridge (they are affiliated, when I call 
    Cambridge answers and transfers me to Arlington for service).
    
    So I could suck it up and visit buddies in Cambridge or go to 
    a bar in Cambridge to watch the games. BUT - even though they carry
    ESPN2 in Cambridge, the guide (same guide for Arl/Cam) doesn't include
    ESPN2, the globe doesn't list it in their TV guide. The only
    way to know a game is on is by checking the Globe Sports section
    every morning. For example, Illinois-Texas was on. of course I didn't
    figure this out until the game was over because I forgot to
    check the globe that day until 3 or so, game was at noon.
    
    Question - does anybody have a program schedule for ESPN2???
    If I am going to have to truck to Cambridge for a game, I want to
    KNOW ahead of time I will be doing it (aside from the fact I
    am going to go ballistic on the cable guys for raising my rates but
    not adding this station.)
    
    I really hate the cable folks out here. 'Course, the main gripe
    is not having my beloved 'GN so's I can listen to Harry spit

14.521Why Marshall will come outTNPUBS::NAZZAROBruno Kirby: Cop on the EdgeMon Feb 21 1994 17:1218
    IMO, the NBA draft this year will contain more underclassmen than
    seniors.  For the first time, the NCAA has instituted a 30 day period
    when underclassmen can renounce the pros anda return to their schools.
    
    So, if Marshall gets picked in the top three (very likely) and doesn't
    want to go to Dallas say, he can return to UConn for his senior season.
    Or he can take the big bucks.  Also, NBA teams will retain draft rights
    to any player they select until the day before the following year's
    draft.  So theoretically, Marshall could get drafted by Dallas, go back
    to UConn, play his senior season, then go back to Dallas and say make
    me a great offer by the draft, or I'm back in the pool.  Or he could
    say trade my rights to Boston or you'll get nothing for the pick.
    
    It's a very interesting situation, and the underclassmen have all the
    leverage.  A player who will be a lottery pick would be foolish to not
    at least declare for the draft and see what happens.
    
    NAZZ
14.522DOCTP::TESSIERMon Feb 21 1994 17:267
Nazz, that's not my understanding of how the new rule works.  As I
understand it, if an underclassman enters the draft, then decides to
return to school, the team that drafted him retains his rights for
one year after his projected graduation date.  This protects teams
from getting burned in the draft by the scenario you described.

    Didn't the nba players assoc. state their intention to have the draft
    disposed of in the next contract.  With a cap in place I see no need
    for a draft and it would certainly give the lower echelon players a
    better chance and avoid the jon barry situations.
    
    	Of course the Chris Webber's would make out better, a 11-28 probably
    worse.  And if teams are going to court to prove they are individual

    Anyone wanna guess as whether or not Bobby Knight was royally miffed at

    or was it just a case of Indiana playing poorly and Minnesota's

    Looks like Georgetown may be playing it's way into the NCAA tournament.
    I would not have thought that a month ago.
    
    I heard somewhere that there's a Div. 1 team that has a record of
    something like 23-2 yet they cannot go to the tournament. Did anyone 
    catch the name of this team and the reason why it can't go? I think
    that it may be due to this team being in a conference that gets only
    one bid. This team may be blowing out teams outside the conference
    but may be second in the conference.

 I got to admit I was wrong and reverse my posistion on player of the
 year. After watching the first half last night and seeing those unbelievable
 numbers, I got join the majority and say Glenn Robinson over Marshall.

 I still think I'd take Kidd 1st, but I certainly wouldn't cry if I got
 stuck with Robinson. If I was the Celtics brass, I'd take Robinson cause
 they need a scorer badly.......

 Robinson though is more than just a scorer. What a great all-around game
 he has. Kidd to me is smarter and makes his teammates better that's why
 I lean towards him as #1.......

All this seems to make 4 people locks for All-American: Robinson,
Marshall, Kidd and, of course, Grant Hill. The final position is open for
debate.

But what we really need in this discussion is Chris Knorr telling us that
the 5th slot belongs to Eric Montross who, incidentally, is a finalist
for POY, if'n you can believe this. Certainly, Montross is playing below
lasted year's level and at a time when No Carolina needs someone to do
something, he remains flat footed.

	VMI's opening round victory is the first victory by a last place
 	team in the Southern Conference tournament since Washington and Lee
	beat George Washington in 1953.

	With losses by the #2 seed Georgia State and the #8 seed Mercer,
	the TAAC will be sending a first-time representative to the NCAA
	tournament.  UCF, playing on their home court, is now a definite
	favorite (they were slight favorites over GSU).

    with a 38 point, 15 rebound performance against a 6-10 center who
    battled him pretty well all night.  Rogers looks like the real deal and
    depending on how many underclassmen come out, could be a lottery pick. 
    He is agile, quick, and very athletic - all things Montross is not.

Nazz, I think Rogers is projected to play the 4 spot in the NBA.  I
think he's too light (approx. 225 lbs) to play in the middle.  Of
course, he might be a much better power forward than Montross will
be a center.

	Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma State - Big Eight Conference
	Big Sky Conference tournament champion

	Mid-American Conference tournament champion
	Mideastern Athletic Conference tournament champion
	North Atlantic Conference tournament champion (Drexel or Maine)
	Arizona, California, UCLA - Pacific Ten Conference
	Patriot League tournament champion (Navy or Colgate)
	Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida - Southeastern Conference
	Texas - Southwest Conference
	Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament champion
	New Mexico - Western Athletic Conference

	Here's a list of 48 teams I think most people would agree are in the
	NCAA tournament.  That leaves 16 slots for additional teams.  Here are
	the teams I believe are in consideration for those slots, in addition
	to any teams that might win a long-shot tournament championship:
	
	Maryland, Virginia, Georgia Tech, George Washington, West Virginia,
	Providence, Villanova, Georgetown, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois,
	Michigan State, Wisconsin, New Mexico State (if lose Big West tourney),
	Tulane, North Carolina-Charlotte, Ohio (if lose MAC tourney),
	Coppin State (if lose MEAC tourney), Xavier (Ohio), Tulsa, Stanford,
	Washington State, Arizona State, Alabama, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt,
	Western Kentucky, New Orleans, Gonzaga, Brigham Young, Fresno State


	I suspect:
	Pacific or Long Beach State will win the Big West conference tournament.

	The 16 at large teams will be:
	Maryland, Virginia, Georgia Tech, George Washington,
	Providence/Villanova BET 1st round winner, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
	Illinois, Michigan State, New Mexico State, Xavier (Ohio),
	Stanford, Alabama, Mississippi State, Western Kentucky,
	Brigham Young/Fresno State WAC 2nd round tournament winner

	Most likely other scenarios:
	Maryland/Virginia loser is out; NMSU is out is it loses before tourney
	finals, or NMSU wins tourney and no BWC 2nd place team; Xavier is out;
	Stanford is out; Alabama or MSU is out, depending on who loses first;
	WAC sends one team.  Most likely to be added in under these
	situations: Providence/Villanova loser, or Georgetown if wins 1st
	round BET game; Ohio (if fails to win MAC); Tulsa; Wisconsin.

I forgot to mention this but a couple of nights ago on the news I saw
a helluva hoops fight between to women's hoops teams, someplace down
in Alabama, I think.

These two girls were getting into it, underneath the hoop, and one elbowed
the other.  The other reacted by taking a swipe at the back of the first
girls head.  The first girl turned around and the second girl took a 
full fledged swing at the first girls face.   The first girl let go
with a round-house right that connected, and the second girl went
flying onto her butt.  Man oh man what a shot...

    UNC lucks out with the #1 seed in the East. Two basic reasons.
    1. So many top ranked teams lost on Saturday
    2. The Selection committee is seeding teams based on history and not
    based on 7 losses during the season.
    
    The vaunted ACC gets 5 teams into the tournament; but wait the Big10
    gets 7 teams in and that much-maligned conference the BigEast gets 6
    teams in. The spin control from some of the denizens of note 21 should
    be quite amusing.
    
    Penn got a #11 seed. Now I know they are Ivy League and that means a
    lower seed, but they were ranked #24 in the country so I really did
    expect a 8-9 seed.
    
    Umass gets a #2 - no surprise. Temple a #4 seed, somewhat surprising.

    fresh off their upset of Syracuse, play Cal, who struggled mightily vs
    Wisconsin-Green Bay in their first round game.  You will also get to
    see Cincinnati upset the #1 seed, Missouri.

       Syracuse is always at the top of my list when I look for a team to
       suffer an upset. Of course 95% of that is due to the coach!
    
    I kinda like Denny Crum's crew to take that Western Regional. Nazz are

Maybe, but this region may be the most entertaining.  It's loaded with
teams that get up-and-down the floor.

  A lot of coaches don't seem happy with the seed they got. There were 2 or 3
coaches interviewed last night on Boston's WBZ that were saying they should
have been placed higher. B.C. was one of them, I think Providence might have
been the other. 

  I was happy to see UMASS rated as a #2. They sure are doing better than they
did back when I went to school there and most of their teams played in the
old Yankee League (I think that was the name). This was prior to Dr. J.

14.587MSBCS::BRYDIEI need somebody to shove!Wed Mar 16 1994 11:4922

    Last night on Roy Firestone's 'Up Close' Bill Walton had a 
   few interesting comments. He for one believes...

   o  Montross will be a much better player as a pro. His reasoning 
      was that because of Deano's "system", Carolina players never 
      get into a flow. They're always looking over their shoulder 
      after every whistle. 

   o  Bobby Knight has outlived his usefulness. After four years, 
      Indiana players are beaten down. 

   o  After being shown a clip where UCLA Jim Harrick, responding to 
      alumnus Walton's criticism, said, "Bill Walton never coached a 
      game". Walton's retort was "many folks say the same about Harrick." 
     
   o  The biggest surprise for me was that Walton picked UMass to come 
      out of the Midwest. Bill likes their defensive intensity and the 
      way they push it and hoist it on offense.

Has there been a higher seed for an Ivy champ recently (Princeton the year

    Well I'm hosed. I'm one of those buffoons that picked UCal to make
    it to the Final Four. Losing to Wisconsin-Packers of all teams.
    Nothin' against them, but I'm sure you don't see dripping BBall
    talent venturing up to the Wisconsin tundra to play BBall.
    
    UCal simple stunk out the joint. No enthusiasm, no fire, no mo'
    Madness. Jeez did Jason(he played like Nicole)Kidd go out with a
    whimper. Not only did he play hideously, he now looks hideous.
    Whoever told him he looked mahvelous with that bald-pated scruffy
    attitude could sell refrigerators to Eskimos. Hail, all Jason has
    to do is carve a swastika on his forehaid and he looks like a
    youthful Charlie Manson. He'd fit right in livin' in the Canyon with
    Charlie, Tex, Squeaky and gang. He musta butt-uglied the ball away
    from hisself. Awfuul..plus the man cost me bigtime in da pools
    I'm in!!
    
    Most thrilling game had to be Michigan-Pepperdine. Great game..
    Anyone see the little incident at the Michigan bench near the
    end of regulation? That little Pepperdine guard (Lopez) was chasing
    the ball near the Wolverine bench and as he decelerated, he put his
    hands up so he wouldn't crash into the Michigan reserves sitting
    on the bench. As he's doing this, one of the Michigan players starts
    to get up and shove him back! I couldn't believe it. what a classy
    guy! I dunno, Michigan is slowly becoming my heavy in this
    tournament. ABM is mah motto (Anybody But Michigan). The only guy
    who really aggravates me is the pipsqueaky nerd Dugan Fife. Good
    ballplayer but a sneaky little twit..
    
    There, I feel better.

14.631MSBCS::BRYDIEI need somebody to shove!Fri Mar 18 1994 13:217
    
     Why didn't Pepperdine call timeout with 12 seonds left and the game
    tied? I guess the thinking was that they didn't want to give Michigan
    a chance to set their defense but, as we all know, it backfired. And
    too bad Lopez didn't think to throw a hard fake. Rose was all over him
    and probably would have bit hard. They could have won it at the line.
    Great game, though.

    I generally despise Michigan and was hoping they would go down when the
    game tightened up, but for some reason once again this year I felt 
    compelled to pick them to go to the final game.  I think it's something

    wasn't enjoying himself out there. I wish I had Texas against Michigan.
    
    I don't think Fife helps them in the halfcourt game. He just dribbles
    around for 15-20 seconds and doesn't create anything. That was a good 
    block at the end of regulation.

    I spent all day yesterday at the Nassau Coliseum.....
    
    Some quick observations:
    
    UConn slept through their first round win; UConn fans are annoying as
    all hell.
    
    Rider played well in the first half; their PG was super; their shooting
    guard made some terrible fouls, taking a key weapon out of Rider's hand.
     
    GWU/UAB was the most boring game I've ever seen; if UConn shows up, its
    no match.
    
    Penn was the most impressive team I saw; Jerome Allen was fabulous; if
    they don't beat Florida, I'll be shocked.
    
    Nebraska should stick to football; their defense was non-existent.
    
    Florida/JMU first half was the most boring half I've ever seen; Florida
    squaks by, but will get beat by Penn.
    
    Aside from Penn,any team could've beaten all of the teams that played
    yesterday.

Article: 4697
From: clarinews@clarinet.com (AP)
Newsgroups: clari.sports.basketball.college
Subject: NCAA: Refs Handled Fight Badly
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 94 21:00:07 PST
 
	OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) -- The officials who worked Sunday's
Georgetown-Arkansas NCAA game won't be assigned to further
tournament games because of their handling of a fight.
	The NCAA said Tuesday that before assessing personal and
technical fouls against the two players involved, the referees
could have checked video replays of the fight.
	The three officials were Tim Higgins, Dick Paparo and Tom Lopes,
although the NCAA did not refer to them by name in its statement.
Calls to the NCAA Tuesday evening were not answered.
	Use of a television monitor to obtain information about fights
is provided for in Rule 2, Section 5 of the 1994 NCAA Basketball
Rules and Interpretations.
	The NCAA's Division I men's basketball committee said it
concluded that using video equipment could have helped the
officials ``in more clearly reviewing the event on the floor,
including the bench area.''
	To strengthen the existing rule, the committee adopted two new
measures Tuesday. First, the standby official must monitor replays
to decide if they reveal anything about plays involving possible
fights. And, the game referee shall consult with the standby
official to determine if television replays ``will help in a
fighting situation.''
	Georgetown's Robert Churchwell and Clint McDaniel of Arkansas
tangled and fell late in the first half of Arkansas' 85-73
second-round victory Sunday. Two other players -- Don Reid of
Georgetown and Scotty Thurman of Arkansas -- were thrown out for
leaving the bench to join a skirmish after the play.
	Churchwell and McDaniel were allowed to remain in the game as
the referees never asked to look at the TV replay that clearly
showed them exchanging blows. Game officials are allowed to look at
TV replays to determine instigators in fights.
	``We felt we had definite knowledge of the matter,'' Paparo said
after the game.
	No further action will be taken against Churchwell or McDaniel,
the NCAA said.
	With 3:23 left in the first half, McDaniel stole an entry pass
under the Georgetown basket, Churchwell bear-hugged him from behind
and both players fell to the floor.
	McDaniel then elbowed Churchwell in the head and Churchwell hit
McDaniel with his left arm. McDaniel kicked Churchwell as the two
got off the floor.
	Several players tangled briefly but order was quickly restored.
A personal foul was called on Churchwell and a technical on
McDaniel.
	McDaniel made both free throws and Georgetown made the one
technical foul shot, making the score 36-34.

    	Yabbut too bad (seriously)
    
    
    Jason Kidd's thrown in the towel and he announced in yesterday's
    press conference that he's going to the NBA.  So much for his
    after-game comments that "there's still 2 years...." to get a
    title.
    
    I'd probably do the same thing if I were he but I can still bemoan the
    fact that he won't be playing college bball (the best sport) anymore
    and will enter "That's Entertainment" NBA.

While it's true that he can choose to go back to school within 30 days
of being drafted, the team that drafts him is not really under any
greater risk now than before this rule was put into effect.  If he
gets drafted, then goes back to Cal., the team that drafted him retains
his rights for up to a year AFTER his projected graduation.  So if
Kidd really didn't want to play for that team, he would have to wait
three years (his junior and senior seasons plus an additional year)
before he would be free from them.

    There's too much potential money for a youngster to ignore.  All we
    need now is for Big Dog to win the tourney and the conspiracy to
    resurrect the Celtic-Laker rivalries will be initiated.
    
    Kidd said yesterday he wants to play for Magic.  Both teams are lottery
    bound and the NBA conspiracy commands Kidd to L.A. and Big Dog to
    Boston.

Fortunately the Celtics will finish out of the playoffs but high
enough among the rest to make their chances small at getting one
of the top 3 picks.

    Unless I've messed up, the Celtics are the 7th lottery slot.  If they
    stay there, they'll have at worse the 10th pick.  The odds of them
    getting in the top three have improved over the last month or so.
    
    The Lakers are in the 9th slot.

Worst team has 11 balls, nexted worsted 10, down to the 11th which has 1
ball.

Throw 'em all in and pull out the firsted 3. Then the rested fall into
reverse order based on record.

Afore anything starts, all tie-breakers are settled so the teams are
ranked 1 through 11.

14.679Lottery DetailsDOCTP::TESSIERFri Mar 25 1994 13:2519
The new lottery uses 14 ping pong balls.  From these 14 balls, they 
generate 1,000 4-ball combinations.  For example, a combination could
be 3, 5, 9, 14.  Each of the 11 teams in the lottery is assigned a
number of the these 4-ball combinations.  The worst team, Dallas, gets
the most -- 250 of the possible 1,000 combinations.  The better teams
in the lottery get fewer combinations, with the 11th team getting only
5.  

Currently, the Lakers are in the tenth spot, and the Celtics in the 8th.
The Lakers stand to get 8 balls, and therefore, have a less than 1 percent
chance of getting the top pick.  I think the Celts would get something
like 26 balls.  

After the first three spots are determined, the 4 through 11 spots are
assigned based on inverse order of record.  The bottom line is that it
is extremely probable that the Celtics and Lakers will pick 8th and tenth,
respectively.

    With the 26 combos (how do they determine how many each spot gets-- does
    it go strictly by rank, or does the W-L record come into play too?), 
    there's still some small but not completely insignificant hope that the
    Celtics can get one of the top three picks.  (3 x 2.6%) ~= 7.5%, but
    it's actually better than a 2.6% chance for the second and third balls
    because a team will be removed from the draw with each pick, and it'll
    likely be a team holding many combinations.  So we're talking about
    around a 10% chance that they can get one of those first three.  Not a
    good chance, but enough so that the NBA can make it happen and still
    retain some credulity around the process.  ;-)  Now to get the Lakers
    in there, we're talking a lightning bolt hitting right on top of David
    Stern's head as he pulls the envelopes (we can hope, can't we?).

Re.

The number of combos that a team gets is determined by where they rank
among the 11 lottery teams in record.  The team with the worst record gets
250 combinations, the team with the best record gets 5, etc.  It's a fixed
number.

Nazz, are you absolutely sure about this?  That was not my understanding.
My understanding is that after the NCAA announced their rule change, the
NBA's response was to adopt a rule saying that the team that drafts a player
retains his rights for a year after the player's projected graduation date.
That way, it protects, shall we say, less desirable franchises such as Dallas
and Minnesota from continually getting screwed out of acquiring a star player.

    I think Frazier plays for Mizzou. Booker has some kind of range. Crudup 
    should have an NBA career. I normally stay up and watch the late game
    but Arizona looked in control and I wound up not missing much.
    
    Doesn't it always happen that way? I've suffered predicting Arizona and
    Missouri to do well in several past tourneys. This year I pick em to go
    out in round 2 and they finally play to potential. Reeves should make
    the difference as Arizona beats Missouri. I had Lousiville beating
    Cincinnati.
    
    As great as Robinson is,Cuonzo Martin made the key baskets down the
    stretch. I don't think Duke has enough defensive answers for Purdue.
    I had Kentucky beating Purdue.

      Wouldn't you know it, but I did the same.  I figured Arizona will
      go out.  Missouri will go out.  So I pick Louisville.  I figured
      Purdue will probably go out too, so I pick Kentucky (after having
      a hard time between them and Duke).  In one pool, I had NC over 
      UMass (hahahahaha).
    
      In the other, I have UConn over Arkansas, but that's the one where
      I did the above.

    I saw the second half of the louisville vs arizona game and have
    come to a conclusion that Rozier is overratted.  He wouldn't hustle.
    he wouldn't box out for rebounds, and he has very little moves down
    in the blocks.  Arizona did play well but I don't think they have
    enough beef for Missouri.  Rozier just lost touch with the flow of
    the game and if it wasn't for Morton, Louisville would have lost by
    20+.

I think the NBA scouts look at Dare and say "What if turns out to be another
Hakeem?" and they look at Montross and say "What if he turns out to be 
another Greg Kite?"   Two different types of risk.

I'm amazed (and thrilled) that Robinson has decided to stay at Purdue.  That
will make them a potential #1 preseason pick, since the entire starting five
will be back along with a couple key subs.   I would hope it would have a 
positive effect on recruiting as well.    I believe Arkansas has pretty much
everyone back as well, so they'll probably be #1 going into next year.  

Getting back to Robinson, I hope the NCAA has some sort of rules set up to
borrow money to purchase insurance in case of injury.

	IMO, Robinson is risking a big mistake if he stays in college
	another year.  His value in the pros will never be higher than
	it is now, and if he has a bad year next year for any of a number
	of reasons, his value could seriously plummet.  And he certainly
	doesn't need another year with the Boilermakers to refine his game.
	
	He'd be much better off going for the tens of millions of dollars
	now, and if he wants a college degree so he can say he has one he
	can get it during the off-season, or finish it when his career is 
	over.

14.706DOCTP::TESSIERTue Mar 29 1994 17:5213
Robinson has not decided to return for his senior year.  He was just
getting tired of reporters asking him if he was going to enter the
draft, so he said, "Until I call a press conference, I'm staying in
school."  He later said that he would make a decision some time in
May.  I still think he'll enter the draft.  It's tough to give up
the money that goes with being the sure number one pick.  What's he
got to gain by staying another year?  He can't move up any higher in
the draft.  However, he could lose out on millions by staying if:
a.) he gets injured; or b.) the NBA adopts a rookie salary cap this
summer, which is a distinct possibility since the collective bargaining
agreement is up.

      Having grown up in Milwaukee, the Marquette '77 season was
      beautiful.  One thing perhaps a lot of people forget is that
      Al McGuire announced before the start of the season that it
      would be his last year and he had yet to win it all.  Sure
      enough, he wins it all his last year.
    
      By the way, Marquette had other years where they could have
      dominated, but they kept losing players to hardship.  One year
      they could have had something like Jim Chones/Maurice Lucas/
      Larry McNeil (all eventual NBA players) on the same team, but
      hardship broke it up.  They churned out some good college players
      for a while there.

    (snapped the 88 game winning streak. Marquette came in one week later
    and they were ranked in the top ten as well. I think the Warriors
    had Marques Washington and Lucas on that team. Before the game, some
    wise-arse Marquette students had ran on the gym floor with a mini-
    Conestoga wagon carrying a sign "Oklahoma- Boomer Sooner #1 1973",
    (Ah think they got mugged by some ND yahoos, that being ND's 73
    football champeenship). Anyway, by the second half, Al's suit was
    half off and his hair looked all askew as he was pacing up and
    down the sideline. One of my buds kept getting up and offering Al
    his chair while shouting to Al "Sit down Harpo!". Al was cool, he'd
    look over, smile, and give my friend the finger.. ND ended up beating
    Marquette by 5 or 6 that game (that was the year Michigan upset
    ND in the NCAA's and Marquette lost to NC St in the finals) but the
    rivalry was always great. After one game at the coach's conference,
    Al was being hooted, good-naturedly, by some ND students and he turned
    to the students and said "Be quiet boys or I'll go back to Marquette
    and start a football program." Yassir he was a hoot.

    I covered the 1977 UNC-ND for the University  of Maryland newspaper(the
    regionals were at Cole Fieldhouse). Kelly Tripucka was not on that
    Notre Dame team. He was a senior at Bloomfield(NJ) high school.
    
    That Notre Dame team featured Donald (Duck) Williams in the backcourt
    with a big frontline of Bruce Flowers,Bill Paterno and Dave Batton. I
    think Bill Hanzlik was on that team,too,but I'm not sure. Also Rich
    Branning might have been a backcourt player. UNC featured Phil Ford who 
    almost singlehandedly won the game. Starting center Tom LaGarde was
    injured so Dean went to his three header center combo called
    Yonawolfscin named for Rich Yonaker,Jeff Wolf and Steve Krafcisin.
    
    They beat a great Kentucky team(national champs the following year)
    which featured Rick Robey,James Lee and Jack (Goose) Givens in the
    Eastern regional finals. Trivia question-who was the long range gunner
    on the UK team? He had a great frehsman year,but never regained his
    shooting touch and hardly played his last three years.

    Marquette's 1977 championship team was a great example of a coach
    winning with what was far from his best unit. McGuire had a dynasty of 
    great teams in the early 70's starting with the NIT championship team
    in 1970 when he spurned the NCAA and made them change the rules sbout
    rejecting an NCAA bid.

    re .714
    
    >> Who was the long range gunner on the UK team
    
    That would be none other than Jay "White Lightning" Shidler out of
    Illinois.  Jay had an outstanding freshman season (1976-77).  He
    started 28 of 30 games for Kentucky.  The next season, Shidler broke
    his foot at the start of the year and missed athe first 5 weeks of the
    season.  Truman Claytor stepped forward and took over the 2-guard spot. 
    Kyle Macy who was a Purdue transfer played the point and led Kentucky
    to its 5th National Title.  Shidler never regained his freshman form. 
    His Senior year he didn't see much action with the remarkable freshman
    Dwight Anderson joining the squad.

    Until Duke-Uk(1992) the most exciting regional final I remeber seeing
    was Indiana-UK(1975).Indiana was #1 and unbeaten and UK had a great
    team led by Kevin Grevey and Jimmy Dan Conner along with all those
    great freshmen. It was a senior/freshman team.
    
    Indiana was missing Scott May. I was dying to see my college(U of

Providence is a sight for 1st and 2nd round games in 1994 (similar to what
the Centrum in Worcester MA had 2 years ago).

 If it's true Paul, best bet is to find either an alumni or student of
 Providence to purchase tickets for you. It was at Providence in 89 or
 90 (when Princeton almost upset Georgetown) and we got tickets through
 a student at the college and they went on sale rather late if I recall
 like in february.......

Ward was not drafted. The consensus was that by not committing to

And since the draft is complete, it should be noted the Colts who were

Subject: Marquette Is Now Golden Eagles
Date: Mon, 2 May 94 15:30:15 PDT
 
	MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Marquette Warriors became the Marquette
Golden Eagles on Monday to both cheers and jeers from students who
voted on the change.
	The move came after the school's old nickname was deemed
offensive to American Indians. The only other other choice was the
Marquette Lightning, chosen from among 1,500 nominations.
	``I'm a senior so I'm graduating a Warrior and I couldn't be
happier about it,'' said Sean Murphy, a senior from South Bend,
Ind. ``I'm going to go down to the Golden Eagle shop and try to get
one of the last few Warrior T-shirts.''
	The new nickname was announced at a news conference outside the
Alumni Memorial Union by the Rev. Albert DiUlio, president of the
Roman Catholic university.
	The name change was required by administrators who wanted to
avoid offending American Indians. A committee studied the potential
name change for 18 months.
	``Out of the two names I liked Golden Eagles better,'' said John
Kuras, a junior from Detroit. ``I was upset that it all arose. I
think the real discrepancy was in the logo.''
	Golden Eagles won 54 percent support from the 2,501 students and
faculty who voted Friday and alumni across the country randomly
surveyed by phone.
	``I'm very happy with it,'' said DiUlio, who voted for the
Lightning. ``I think it will allow us to go back to a favorable
mascot.''
	Some Marquette students angry about the nickname change have
blamed American Indian students, said Jeff Peterson, an American
Indian counselor.
	Gabrielle Grant, president of the American Indian Student
Association, said she wasn't surprised some non-Indian students
couldn't understand why the Warriors nickname was offensive.
	``I'd say that they could never know because they're not
American Indian and I'm sure there are lots of things about their
cultures that I wouldn't find offensive but they would,'' said
Grant, adding that as a matter of principle she hadn't bought
Warriors apparel in her four years at Marquette.
	``I'm glad they changed it,'' she said. ``I'm really impressed
with Marquette taking the initiative.''
	Athletic director Bill Cords announced last October that
Marquette would changed its nickname, saying the school wanted one
that reflected respect for ethnic heritage.
	Northeastern Illinois, Tennessee Tech and Southern Mississippi
are among at least 11 NCAA-affiliated schools nicknamed Golden
Eagles.
	Warriors replaced Hilltoppers as Marquette's nickname in 1954 on
the recommendation of a student committee that felt the name
reflected American Indians' close relationship with the Jesuits in
settlement days.
	From 1964-71, the school used a ``Willie Wampum'' cartoon
caricature of an Indian warrior before that mascot was dropped as
offensive. The school logo in recent years has been a silhouette
drawing of an Indian warrior.
	Indian nicknames have been objects of controversy among high
schools, colleges and professionals.
	Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction John T. Benson
last month asked more than 60 districts to drop Indian nicknames
and mascots. The Minnesota and Illinois Boards of Education have
also asked that high schools replace Indian-related names and
logos.
	The University of Iowa's athletic board last week voted to ban

    Actually, I think changing the name Warriors is being ridulously 
    overly sensitive.  
    but...... 
    I think the name Redmen (or Redskins, for that matter) is legitimatly
    offensive (can you imagine a team named the blackmen, or whitemen).

The thing that I find amusing is that these names have been around
so long that for the most part any intended slur has long since past.

I've never associated Redskins with Indians.  I mean, intellectually I
know there is a connection there, but I always think of jokers like
Dexter Manley when I hear Redskins.   And somehow I think the names
were originally used because of the power and ferocity of the images
conjured up.

It's too bad these folks can't put their energy into something more
productive towards improving race relations, something that would
accomplish more....

I knew that.  In fact, I can even almost remember the song from that
movie.

In my story though, all the Oompa Loompas would have M-16s, and they'd
take over the chocolate factory.  Then James and the Midnight Commandos
would come along in his Giant Peach and have a clandestine raid.

The Oompa Loompas would be slaughtered, cut down where they stood
in the withering fire laid down by the Midnight Commandos, while James,
Aunt Sugar and Aunt Spike tend to the few wounded Midnight Commandos.

The aisle of the Factory will run orange with Oompa Loompa blood, and
the Midnight Commandos captain will talk of loving the smell of
milk chocolate in the morning and how it smells like victory....

When the battle is over, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang KABOOM will evac
the wounded, and then Mike Mulligan and his Steamshovel will tear
down the Factory to make room for new condos....

Anyway, that's the way *I'd* write it......

    I agree.  In many cultures, old and new, Warrior is a title that is
    well respected and often seeked and as a percentage basis I'd be
    willing to bet that less than 0.1% of the people with or ever having

	CLINTON, Miss. (AP) -- Jerod Ward, the Naismith national high
school basketball player of the year, will attend Michigan, a
decision the standout says he made after a restless night.
	The 6-foot-9 Ward, celebrating his 18th birthday Thursday, said
he went to bed earlier that morning going to California, but when
he woke up couldn't get Michigan out of his mind.
	``Once I woke up this morning, after about 30 minutes of sleep
and a lot of prayer, the Lord had laid on my heart the place I
needed to be was Michigan,'' said Ward, a McDonald's, Parade
Magazine and USA Today All-American.
	Ward, who averaged 29 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocked
shots per game as a senior at Clinton High School, also had
Mississippi among his three finalists. He had made an unofficial
visit to Ole Miss last weekend.
	Ward said that during the recruiting process he had gotten close
to Ole Miss coach Rob Evans, who is trying to build at a program
that has been to just one NCAA tournament in its history (1981) and
is coming off its first winning season (14-13) in seven years.
	But the lure of Michigan, a perennial NCAA tournament
participant, was apparently too much to pass up.
	At Michigan, Ward said he feels he'll have ``an excellent chance
of playing for a national championship, and every guy dreams of
being in the Final Four and being able to play for a nationally
ranked team.''
	The departures of Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose, who left Michigan
for early entrance into the NBA draft, had no effect on his
decision, Ward said.
	Ward said he felt no pressure to stay in the state of
Mississippi, but also said he didn't want the pressure of being the
player that Evans most likely would have built the Ole Miss program
around.
	``It would have been a big load I would have had to carry I
would have had to go down there with a lot of pressure put on me,''
Ward said. ``I don't really want to be pressured. I just want to go
out, have fun and play hard.''
	Ward had also considered Arkansas, Kentucky, Ohio State,
Oklahoma and UCLA, but announced about two weeks ago that those
schools were no longer on his list.

So how about this Rollie Masimino thang?

Apparently UNLV wants to buy him out of the remainder of his 
contract, and replace him with one of Tark's former assistants.

They supposedly met about it for 15 seconds (I wonder who was 
looking at the clock), and Rollie walked out, saying he wasn't
interested.

  The kind of player for whom it works.

  When I was in highschool I was the manager for the basketball team. That is
to say I was that goofy looking kid with the tie that kept score, picked up the
basketballs after warmups, washed the towels, and sent the uniforms off to
summer storage hopefully after the last game. 

  Anyway, the up side to doing this was that I worked in the coaches room and
got to listen to the Varsity and JV coach talk about their strategy, their
jobs, their women, and what ever. 

  One thing I'll never forget is our Varsity coach explaining why he yelled at
some of the guys and not at others. He said that he yelled at kids who
responded to yelling and didn't yell at kids who didn't respond. 

  As an example he pointed to our team captain who was a quiet intellectual type
kid. He said he'd never yell at him because if he did the kid would shrivel up
and be useless for the entire game. 

  Conversely, we had a power forward who we called "Animal" who was always
getting yelled at. The coach explained that he yelled at Animal because it
worked. And sure enough, the night after that explanation along about mid game
he actually pounded Animal on the head with his fist after which Animal went
out and scored 6 points in less than a minute. 

  You go with what works. If pounding your fist through the backboard makes
your players respond, you tell the manager to order up a supply of backboards.
If you get no response, you save the skin on your knuckles.

    George,
    
    I don't want to create a rathole and correct me if I'm wrong, but then
    you're saying the less intellectual players need to be shown motivation
    through brute force (breakage of blackboards, punched in the helmet,
    etc) to get them going?
    
    I understand the yelling at some players, but it's the physical
    approach taken that baffles me.  Still seems rather dark ages to me.

  I don't think it's just intelligence. It's a combination of things. 

  The point my coach was making was that he saw each player as an individual
and motivating each individual was a puzzle unto itself. What worked for one
kid wouldn't necessarily work for another. 

  Now other coaches don't do that. Our big rival had a coach that had one
method, intimidation, and either it worked or you were off the team. During
half times you could hear him screaming from the other locker room down the
hall. 

  Different coaches have different techniques and different players respond to
techniques. And the bottom line, as always, is that if you win you are right
and if you lose you are wrong. 

  As long as pounding backboards with your fist results in wins, coaches will
pound backboards.

    UNLV screwed up big time when they hire Rollie. His style of coaching
    is not really compatible with what the folks in Vegas want to see. The
    crowd that attends the games and financially support UNLV didn't care
    for Rollie's style one bit and pulled out. As far as the other
    contract, I really think there's a bit more to that than has been
    reported, or maybe than will ever be known. 
    
    I really don't think that Rollie will ever coach again.

    I think people were just unfamiliar with them.  I think they'd be a
    good darkhorse bet.  The past few years they've been very injury
    plagued.  This is the first year in a while that they had enough bodies
    in camp that players were competing for spots.  They definitely have
    the talent, and it isn't unreasonable, to expect a 20-win season.

Lasted nights NIT results:

In the biggest shock of the opening round, George Washington upset host 
Syracuse, 110-104, in OT. Gee Dub looked the better prepared team from 
the onset. The game showed they were much better coached as well. 
Syracuse looked like the players lacked even fundemental skills such as 
passing, dribbling, defense, etc., and the team seemed to lack an 
semblance of a game plan. As it was, Syracuse stood around and watched 
the loss.

During the final minute of regulation, a bunch of the not-so-faithful 
started to leave. Syracuse hit a couple of three pointers to get back in 
the game and then hit a hail mary bank to send it into OT. GW responded 
by scoring the firsted 12 points.

Meanwhile, Virginia had to work hard to beat ODU. Cory Alexander showed 
that he's back finishing with 29 and leading the Cavs to the second half 
effort to win.

In other action, Canisius upset Penn, 81-78; Alabama routed Kansas St,
79-48; Ohio U beat Ohio St 78-67; New Mexico St beat USC (score unknown, 
caint remember, et. al.).

So much for the Big East is Back Bandwagon.

 not to take anything away from ASU cause they're a fine team, I think that
 given the format Williams didn't substitute enough during the first two
 games and his guys were a little bit gassed. ASU's depth was the difference
 imo.

 anyways it's great to have college bball back. If Texas had held on it
 would have been a great weekend. Despite the Hoyas getting their clocks'
 cleaned it was refreshing to see them actual attemp to play 90's style
 ball insteads of the 40's............

 Well tonight's game should be a good one and tell me if the guys I think have
 the right stuff to be this year's champs have it. I'm talking about the
 Florida Gators....

 Florida vs. Kansas   9:30 on ESPN.......

 my gut feeling on the Final Four is    Florida, Arkansas, UMASS and Duke...
 I think the first three have the talent and Duke has talent and will get
 a favorable draw.........

 mike
14.822I like Duke, tooHBAHBA::HAASdingle lingoWed Dec 07 1994 17:3218
I agree, Mike. "Marquis matchup" as someone might shrill.

Haase has certainly looked good for Kansas and Osterag is a tank. The
Gators come with DiMeatHook and LeClercq and most of the rest of the team
that went to the Final 4.

I guess it's a sign of the time, at least a_early one, is the lack of
attention on Kentucky-Indiana.

I wouldn't count No Carolina outta of that there Final 4. They get
Sullivan back soon, the sophomore trio of McInnis, Stackhouse and Rasheed
will only get better. Donald Williams just might return from wherever he
went after winning it all in 93. If they can stay outta foul trouble and
hit the free throws, they'll be hard to beat. 

Of course, there's always Dean.

14.824Nat'l Coalition of Avarice and Arrogance signs pactAKOCOA::BREENBut in the land of the One-eyed MenWed Dec 07 1994 19:0416
    Well the ncaa signed their biggest contract yet with cbs for 1.725 bil
    thru 2002 or 215 mil/year.  In spite or as a part of the deal coverage
    in the lesser sports, including women's basketball has been
    discontinued.
    
    In the article I read there was a quote about "confidences kept"
    between the parties in a very garbled paragraph about the signings.  As
    I've noted here before this probably referred to the quid pro quo about
    guarantees that Marquee names would be assured for the final four
    amongst the Dukes,NC,Michigan etal.  You can pretty well take it to the
    bank that this "guarantee" was there but proving it will be difficult
    if the parties have had the success in keeping it under wraps that they
    seem to have had.
    
    Mike's non-marquis final four may have some chance this year but none
    in year's prior.
14.825HELIX::MAIEWSKIWed Dec 07 1994 19:146
  How can they guarantee big name schools in the final 4?

  What happens if some school like B.C. knocks of some schools like N.C. and
Indiana as they did this year?

  George
14.826The biggest question? Would anyone care?AKOCOA::BREENBut in the land of the One-eyed MenWed Dec 07 1994 19:2617
    First by the seedings of the top 64 and placings.  Yes, accidents
    happen like a dissent ridden tar-heel team losing to a BC team fighting
    for it's coach against the world.
    
    By letting it be known in some subtle way to the officiating community
    what it wants and how much is at stake.  No official is ever of course
    "told" to do anything but those who produce the desired results are
    promoted those who don't find themselves not invited back.
    
    Designated lackeys in media and broadcast can influence the desired
    results.  Some of the big advertisers and possibly "pep" groups can aid
    in the financing, recruitment etc of the pet schools.
    
    The question is was the "guarantee" made before the '93 tournement as
    alluded to by WSJ and can it be verified?  The result surely occurred
    as wished for.  The how can be merely speculated.
    
14.827they'll be back but will Kansas go away? don't think soCNTROL::CHILDSTheresa's Sound WorldThu Dec 08 1994 14:1714
 geez my whammy's reaching Dinzanesca proportions.....

 Cross had a tough first half but DeClerq looks like a 1 st team AA...

 Osterberg was smart to stay behind. His all around game has improved
 and should net him the lottery with his size. Must be nice to be able
 to reload as easily as Roy does. 

 What a barnburn the first one between IU and KU was. If IU could have
 handled the press KU would be an early season disappointment for sure.
 Don't see KU getting past the round of 16......

Here's a good un:

Rod Baxter, coach of York (Neb) basketball has been officially reassigned
by the school's president. York is NAIA Division II.

It seems ol' Rod got hisself into some hot water for telling his team to
score for the opposing team. In a game against Midland Lutheran (Neb), he
told one of his players to take inbound passes and score for Midland. The
players scored Midland's 99th through 104th points. Baxter didn't want to
have a_opponent scoring 100 points against his team.

Baxter maintains, however, that he was reassigned not for this but
because he spent too much time with his wife, who's ill.

 How does Kentucky manage to stay in the top ten? The coach or history?
 I've seen them twice and they've shown me nothing. Sure they can press
 and hit some threes but they just don't have the necessary chemistry
 or players for that matter imo to make any kind of a serious run at
 either the SEC title or NCAA's........

When you vote on things, you sometimes get strange results. Remember,
Richard Nixon won the presidency, twice ;-).

It's been this way for a while. Some of the voters obviously don't even
watch the games. They have a list of 10 or so teams - No Carolina, Duke,
Kentucky, etc. - that they will always put on their ballots.

At least in hooops, they play for a championship so it doesn't matter,
except to the 65th best team, possibly.

    entire team back from the group that almost beat UMass in the NCAAs two
    years ago, they have had a week to prepare while UMass will be playing
    its 6th game in 12 days, and the Minutemen simply aren't playing that
    well right now.

	speaking of whcih, what got into Marcus Camby last night?
	he got into two scuffles and was tossed from the game .. will
	he be eligible for the Penn game? it would really hurt UMass

re: announcers

I think that they cater their styles at attracting the casual
fan.  They know folks like us are going to watch, but they 
figure that if they get somebody colorful, "funny", or interesting,
the casual fan will stay with the game.

Bearing that in mind, they tehn bring in guys with the style 
they have deemed to "work", hence Vitale, Packer, and Raftery
all try to be loud and flamboyant.

The most noted guy on sports radio in Boston, Eddie Andleman
(who I personally can't stand - if he doesn't have somebody
on with him, I swich), took a tirade agianst my main main, 
Beasley Reese.  He went to the point of calling NBC, and 
telling them that he "sucked".  I still think Beasley is
good.

rule in the book that you can, including paying players, forging grades,
getting papers written by other students for his players, etc.

But the thing that irritates me the worse is his Prepared Agenda. He
comes to a came with a set number of things to say. Preparation is fine
but what you say should be relevant to what is going on. He says those
things no matter what is going on.

Exactly the way I feel about Chris Berman and his nicknames, but he does
seem to have a following.  There is even a Berman-style nicknames
feature in Baseball America, which is a paper for purists like me.
(The last baseball commentator I liked as little as I like Berman was
a guy named Howard Cosell.)

TTom, what don't you like about Dick Enberg?  I haven't heard him since
he was working with Merlin Olsen, but I liked him then.  And when I
still lived in Southern California 20 years ago, he was the voice of
the California Angels, and was *excellent*, even in a situation where
he was compared directly to Vin Scully every day.

Of course, the cobbler should stick to his last.  A good baseball man
might be a lousy football or basketball man.  Howard Cosell was a
very good boxing commentator, for example.

Steve
14.867not as bad as TrumpyHBAHBA::HAASdingle lingoFri Jan 20 1995 17:2713
Enberg, like a lot of others, suffers from thinking he has something
worth saying and listening to.

Dick Schap (sp?) is another one. 

Actually, for some events I could see Enberg. I think he'd be perfect for
ice skating. But when it comes to football, he contributes little which
of course in no way prevents him from talking.

But if'n were rating 'em, I'd take Enberg all day all night all sports
over Trumpy.

    The problem is television itself which as an institution cannot merely
    report what is going on but feels it has to produce it.  The bigger the
    event the more the production.  Finally those reporting it are graded
    by how well they make the production fit in with the action.
    
    TV hasn't stopped here.  They loved the audience for the ncaa
    tournement and marketed it to their advertisers "very well" but they
    can't stop there.  Now they tell the ncaa that if only the big name
    teams can be in the final four it will be worth ever so much more and
    can't we somehow guarantee that.
    
    So finally someone says "What is it really that you want?" and tv says
    see that guy with the sublime smile and beatific visage over there with
    those handsome all-america boys in powder blue?". "Find a way to get
    him and the little guy with the beak that looks so concerned for his
    boys into the final four and there'll be a cool $billion in there.

14.874Well there was one sporting event SundayAKOCOA::BREENMon Jan 30 1995 20:2025
    Well the weekend wasn't a complete bust with Arkansas outlasting
    Kentucky in a burner (94-92?).  Kentucky had the ball with 12 seconds
    and Pitino elected to not call the timeout and the Cats didn't really
    get much of a shot off.  Once his team hesitated Pitino should've taken
    the timeout.
    
    Nolan Richardson didn't take a timeout with 25 seconds left either.
    
    Billy Packer made a complete fool of himself on one play when Corliss
    tried to lay in a shot at the 35(?) second buzzer and hit the rim which
    should have resulted in a reset of the time-clock which stayed at 1
    second.
    
    Packer lambasted the officials for not calling a foul and replayed the
    play 5 times and never noticed what was obvious if he'd care to look at
    his own monitor:  That Willimason wasn't touched on the actual shot
    attempt though both before and after there was contact, as much
    instigated by Corliss as anyone.
    
    That's one thing so common to tv announcers is making a call but
    ignoring the replay and refusing to admit they're wrong (with their
    partner forced to bite lips).  Enberg did the same thing in S.D -
    Miami.

    Sarandis interviewed John Wooden which was one of those Christmas in
    Febuary things.  Ted had mentioned someone name Woo' den but I finally
    realized he had the all time greatest college basketball coach on.
    
    John Corroborated several of us by stating
    
    Walton is the best all-around center of all time (He waffled a bit on 
    Kareem/Alcindor by calling him mvp - JW doesn't actually ever choose
    there).  Walton (healthy) of course could do it all at the highest
    level.
    
    Another point is on referees ruining basketball by simply not calling
    the game by the rules.   TV is mainly to blame here (my opinion).

			Syracuse (Lloyd's the key)
			Arizona	(can the frontline help Stoudamire ?)
			Geo Tech (Best's last show)
			Virginia (I'm waffling here....)

    They've beaten Arizona, Villanova and BYU to win the Alaskan shootout,
    should've beaten Cincinnati (lost in OT after a dramatice three-point

    East Lansing last week after leading in the final seconds.  Look for them

    For those in the know about the tournament seeding and how it's
    historically been done: how many Big-10 teams do you see them
    selecting?  Based on the AP rankings I thought that the conference
    was regarded as weak overall (it isn't great even if fairly deep) 
    and that maybe as few as only 3-4 teams might make it, but last 
    night I heard John Calipari heaping praise on the depth of the Big-10
    in particular.  Will all the teams with winning records in Big-10 
    conference play make it (if not Indiana may have a problem for the

I'm not going to claim to be 'in the know', but I do think the Big-10
is in trouble this year.  Their #s may be few, and I don't see any getting
past the Sweet-16 (I don't think any of their teams will get out of the
2nd round).

If they're considered weak as a conference, and beat each other up,
non-conference games will mean a lot in determining who among them
gets in (eg: Mich's losses to Penn and SJU on their home floor won't
help them).

14.897Hoosiers "on the bubble"CSOA1::SIMPSON_Trun-by fruitingMon Feb 06 1995 16:2417
	Duke's certainly out.  Indiana probably has to go something like
6-3 the rest of the way to get in.  This would probably put them in
the top 5 in the Big Ten, and would leave them at 19-11 overall (18-11 after
subtracting the Division II(?) win over Chaminade).  Otherwise they lose both
the longest home-court streak in the country and the longest Sweet-16 streak
in the same year.

	The Hoosiers have looked very good at times this year, but they have 
too many minutes being played by inexperienced players ---  their best starting
lineup has three freshmen, with another freshman first off the bench at guard.  
This leaves them with two freshmen, a sophomore with limited skills, the awful
Todd Lindemann, and the coach's son left on the bench.  Definitely not a 
lineup that's going to scare anyone.  Alan Henderson's one of the best players
in the country, but if you control him you control the Hoosiers.

 Hey Joe, I'm a Big East fan too but let's not be blowing the horn too loudly
 here. The only team that I see that will do some damage come the tournement
 is Nova. SU on the strength of Moten and Wallace should make the 16's but
 that it. The other guys are streaky at best and they lack a take charge
 point guard. Sure the win against Zona was nice but we're talking a team
 so over-rated it's pathetic. As Stodlemiere goes so goes Zona. Owes is
 a nice player but certainly not a dominate one or one who can create his
 own offense. UConn please? Knight went from major stiff to minor stiff.
 Sort of luck going from A ball to double A. Marshall's a thug in a uniform,
 Allen can only score and Fair and Ollie can only score if the game isn't
 on the line. Scoffer is the only player on the team I'd want on mine.
 Georgetown who knows they go from brillant to the bottom of the pack
 in a five minute span of game never mind from game to game. Nova has
 the pieces and the experience. 

 While I'd love to see all 4 make the final 16 I doubt it. I can't comment
 on Seton Hall cause I've yet to see them.......

    Joe,
    
    I guess I'm saying that neither conference looks all that powerful this
    year.  I would say the Big 8 is probably better than both right now.
    
    To me there isn't any outstanding team or favorite this year.

    Mikey change that personal name!!!  Why is the knock on Allen that
    he doesn't play "D"?  We're not watching the same game.  This is a
    guard who is getting 7 boards a game.
    
    I think what's hurting the big ten is they don't have a standout team.
    ACC - UNC Big East - UCONN,Syracuse Big Eight-Kansas.  I couldn't even
    tell you who is leading the conference....

    Incredible game by "Big Country" Reeves last night against Kansas.
    
    It was refreshing to watch an old style "lunch bucket" player dominate
    a big college game for a change.
14.904CNTROL::CHILDSTLC &gt;&gt; Salt_N_PeppaTue Feb 07 1995 12:248
 he sure did a number on that bum Ostertag. I think the final was 76-69 and
 Big Country had 33 points and 20 boards. I did notice that Roy Williams
 certainly learnt how to whine ala Dean Smith. You know that nose up in the
 air superiority style whine, the how dare you call that on us don't you
 know who I am style that Dean has perfected..........

Yeah, whining is disgusting, but I find Boeheim's whine easier to take...
it's almost humorous.
14.906CNTROL::CHILDSTLC &gt;&gt; Salt_N_PeppaTue Feb 07 1995 13:425
 that's cause Boehiem looks like Muraco Mole. It's easy to take when you're

14.907*BIG* game by Big CountryIMBETR::DUPREZTue Feb 07 1995 14:2419
I really hadn't seen much of him before, and wondered what the fuss was
about.  It really was enjoyable to watch someone bust his butt and put
up the big numbers.  The points came two at a time unless he got hammered,
and he looked like he was involved in his share of contact.

Two things struck me - he's an excellent free throw shooter for a big man, and
my impression was that he was a pretty smart player.  He does look like he just
walked out of a silo, though.

Two questions for the masses:

1) do you all think he looks like a smart player

2) what kind of a pro do you think he'll make?

20 boards is just a monster game, man...

    Southern University.
    
    I remember them winning a game in the tournament at some point during
    the past ten years, couldn't find a 16th team that I liked, and decided
    that Southern U had a heck of a lot better chance than Cornell.

Mike,

I think you've got the wrong Duprez.  Polly is my wife - she's occasionally
will have hoops on as background noise, but that's about it.  I'm Roland.

Serves me right for not introducing myself in Introductions. :-)

Nice digging to find the first name of a Duprez, though...

14.948Gotta include all eligible conferencesTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass to the Final Four!Wed Feb 15 1995 18:0211
    Couple of nites in your potential bracket.  You left out four
    conferences that receive automatic bids:  the Mid Continent Conference
    (Valparaiso the likely champ), the Big South (NC-Greensboro leads), the
    Northeast Conference (Rider is the best of a weak group), and the
    Big West (both Utah State and New Mexico State sure to go).
    
    That means five of your at large teams must be eliminated.  I suggest
    Florida State, Georgetown, Louisville, Ohio U, and Nebraska will all
    be in the NIT field.

If true, goes to prove how little early-season success (Ohio in preseason
NIT) gets you.

     Actually, my understanding is that neither the Mid Continent nor
     the Big South qualify to send their conference champs to the tourney
     (have to have at least x amt of teams for y amt of years consecutively;
     it's the reason the Big South threaten to sue Campbell for moving to the
     TAAC).  In fact, I verified it a couple of weeks ago in one of these
     college bball rags.

     I picked Rider in there against UConn.

     If I were doing the picking, I'd pick NMSU and dump FSU and Florida.
     However, NMSU has a poor RPI, and I suspect that will be the reason
     that they do not go, unless they win the Big West title.

     I agree that FSU doesn't deserve to go, but they have an RPI over 30.
     If they end up at least 2 games over .500, and win at least one more
     game against an NCAA team (UVa or Tech), they will go, mark my words.

     Similar situation for Louisville and Nebraska.  And that's the reason
     Penn won't be seeded too much higher than 13th.  They have an RPI that's
     fairly low.  They may get a #12 seed, but haven't done that well out
     of the conference (one big win, against Michigan, doesn't look so hot).

     Ohio is probably the biggest question mark in my list.

    Penn St. beat them this past weekend.  They're 6-6 in the Big-10 
    and going nowhere fast...

As of yesterday, they were 6-6 in the Bigwhatever and 12-9 overall. They
dint get any votes in either of the polls.

FWIW, the Lady Badgers (ugh!) were 26th in the Women's poll.

Rashard shoulda booked this past summer.  He let Stu talk him into
staying, then Stu flies the coop and Rashard's college career stagnates,
as he feared it would when he originally wanted to leave.

    I did see Wisconsin on ESPN when Penn St beat them the first time
    around, in Madison.  They were the sloppiest, most disorganized team
    I've seen all year.  Lots of standing around, one-on-one isolation, 
    that kind of thing.  This team looks like it misses Jackson badly.

  re .952


  Two things about the poll:

  1) When was the last time that the Big 10 had three teams in the Top 25
     and neither Indiana, Michigan or OSU was one of them?

  2) UCLA #2? If UCLA makes the Final Four, I'll come to work in a prom 
     dress.

    UCLA has a very good shot to make it, they are the best team in
    the west and if the comm. gives them a weak #2, oh let's say
    UMASS for example, they could be visiting Washington in April

    I'm wondering if someone could help me out with this.  There's a kid
    (freshman) who's been the starting center for UWV this year.  His name
    is Brent Solheim and he went to my HS in Minnesota.  I was just
    wondering how he has been doing this year.  He's really not that big,
    6'7" or so.  I guess they nearly knocked off UMASS recently.
    
    Thanks in advance,

14.966AKOCOA::BREENThat is enough for me and for theeWed Feb 22 1995 14:438
    UMass is far too physical for UCLA, they could beat them at UCLA.
    
    Conn. could be beaten by them but UCLA has to worry about the #8-9
    seeds like maybe Texas or Georgetown and when it gets down to 16 teams
    that's half the number of teams that can beat them.
    
    Its much harder for non-contact league/teams to play contact than vv;
    UMass can do both.

     It's way too early, billl. Given the PAC-10's penchant in recent years
     for bowing out early in the tourney, I ain't hardly worried yet. Who
     can forget Mike Heiser declaring the state of Arizona a 'hoops hotbed'
     and then the Wildcats going out and promptly losing in the first round
     to Spiccoli and his surfer buddies from UC-Santa Clara? Nope, I ain't
     worried yet.

No Carolina hosts Wake and Duke to complete their season. Wake might win.
Duke has no chance.

    Tommy your big worry would be the ncaa setting them up for final four
    status via matchups,ref selection, site etc.  Now that the big tv
    contract is in the can and its a seller's market I don't see the need.
    
    Hopefully that is all behind us and ncaas can be a level playing field.

    I'd be interested in knowing the nonconference games palyed by
    the 1st through 4th ACC teams.  NC and Maryland have 3 conf.
    losses and Wake and Virginia have 4.  The real differences are 
    due to the nonconference standings.

14.983yepHBAHBA::HAASPlan 9 from Outer SpaceMon Feb 27 1995 16:4510
Right you are Dan.

The winner of the ACC tournament is the ACC Basketball Champion and thus
gets the automatic bid to the NCAAs.

In the case of Duke winning it all, No Carolina is likely to be a #1 seed
in any case. It always seems like the regional seedings are done before
all the tourneys are over.

14.985Kansas not a #1 seed?TNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass to the Final Four!Mon Feb 27 1995 17:1314
    Rumor I heard this week was that the committee will send Kansas west as
    the 2nd seed behind UCLA for two reasons:
    
    1) Make UCLA earn a trip to the FInal Four
    2) Keep Kansas out of Kemper Arena
    
    The #1 seeds would be UNC (East), Kentucky (SE), Maryland (MW) and
    UCLA (West).
    
    Also, can someone explain to me how Syracuse stayed as high as #15? 
    There must be tons of sorry-ass teams in the NCAA if Syracuse is the
    15th best team in the country!

    	Is the Kemper arena Kansas's home arena? I know the NCAA has a
    rule. That states if a team has played X amount of games at a certain
    arena. They can not be scheduled to play in that arena during the NCAA
    tournament. With the exception being the final 4 arena. It is a
    relatively low number, Something like 3 or 5 games. This is why 2 years
    ago or was it last year? Umass only played 1 game at the Centrum. The
    first round games were at the Centrum. If Umass played there two many
    times, there was no chance of getting seeded in the East.

     I believe the rule is that they cannot play on a home court in the first
     two rounds of the regional.  But, the Kemper Arena is not a first round
     site.

     AM I right or wrong about this belief ?  Anyone know for sure ?
14.988USCTR1::GARBARINOMon Feb 27 1995 18:413
I heard it mentioned last week.  Kansas played at Kemper Arena 3 times
this year, and that was below the number which would exclude them from
that site in the NCAA tournament.

14.990Kansas will have to get by ArkansasTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass to the Final Four!Tue Feb 28 1995 16:0625
    Pac-10 should get 5 minimum - UCLA, Arizona, ASU, Stanford, and Oregon.
    Washingotn State and Cal are longshots at this point, but will be in
    the NIT.
    
    As for Kansas, I believe that if they win the Big 8 tourney, they will
    be the #1 seed in the Midwest.  But if they falter, look for Maryland
    to move to #1 out there.  I predict that the loser of Arkansas-Kentucky
    will be the Midwest #2 seed.  The team that is not #1 in the Midwest
    (either Kansas or Maryland) will be #2 in the West.
    
    Here's how I see the top four seeds as of today:
    
    	EAST		SOUTHEAST	MIDWEST		WEST
    1. No. Carolina	1. Kentucky or  1. Kansas or	1. UCLA
    2. UConn or	           Arkansas	   Maryland	2. Kansas or
       UMass		2. Arizona	2. Arkansas or	   Maryland
    3. UMass or		3. Virginia	   Kentucky	3. Wake Forest
       UConn		4. Oklahoma St. 3. Michigan St.	4. Villanova
    4. Purdue				4. Arizona St.
    
    If UConn does not win the Big East tourney and UMass wins the A-10
    tourney, UMass is #2 in the East and UConn is #3.  If they both win
    or both lose, UConn will get the #2 seed.

I'd be very surprised if the committee allowed all 3 to stay in the East.

Nazz, will SU make the field of 64 ?  And if so, where do you see them
going ?  I'd love to see them matched-up with UMass at some point.
Maybe in the #2-#15 game ?
14.992Michigan state if it wins Big 10 has be seededAKOCOA::BREENJumblay,Crawfish pie, filet gumboTue Feb 28 1995 16:473
    The big 10 champ has to be a number 1 or 2 seed, especially if it's
    state with 4 losses at this point, probably 5 max.  Anything else makes
    this whole newfangled seeding business more absurd year by year.
14.993USCTR1::GARBARINOTue Feb 28 1995 17:013
>    The big 10 champ has to be a number 1 or 2 seed,

No way they'll ever get a #1.  Maybe not even a #2.
14.994UMass and UConnSTRATA::BARBIERIGod cares.Tue Feb 28 1995 17:2110
      I agree with Nazz on UMass/UConn and thats the main thing I'm
      keeping my eyes open for.  UMass will probably not enter the
      A10 tournament with another loss.  GWU and Temple will be in
      the other bracket.  UMass should play the winner either at home
      or a neutral site (forget how that part of it works).
    
      So, to me, the only questionable game for UMass is the A10 finals.
      And if they win and UConn loses 1 game, UMass will seed higher.

Spud, I'm not knockin' them, just calling it like I see it.  I've had plenty
of respect for the strong Indiana and Michigan teams of the past.  I just
don't see that in any of this year's Big-10 teams.  Lot's of sloppy play,
and no big-time players.

     No way in the world will Michigan State be a #1.  They may (and probably
     will) get a #2 seed, unless they lose once or twice more along the way,
     possibly to Indiana this weekend.

     Seedings are based on the ratings which the NCAA maintains, which rely
     heavily (but not solely) on the RPI rating.  Michigan State is #11 in
     the current RPI, behind Kansas, UNC, UConn, UMass, UCLA, Kentucky,
     Arkansas, Maryland, Villanova, and Wake Forest.

     No doubt about it, the ACC champ will be seeded ahead of Michigan State.
     So will the SEC champ if from Kentucky or Arkansas (and if Miss.State,
     currently at #12 in the RPI, were to win the SEC tourney, they'd be
     higher than Michigan State, as well).  UCLA will be higher if they don't
     lose from here on (and they don't play anyone else).  I wouldn't count
     on Kansas, UConn and Villanova, and UMass to all fold in the remainder of
     the season.

     No, the best the Spartans can be seeded is a #2, and they really have to
     win all four to assure that spot.  The Big 10 just isn't that hot this
     year.  MSU is #11, Illinois #21, Indiana #30, Purdue #33, Michigan #38,
     Minnesota #49, Iowa #72, PSU #76, Wisconsin #87, OSU #179, and NW #216
     in the latest RPI.  They were upset by a lot of teams in the pre-conference
     games, and that hurts them in the tournament selection process.
     For example, Purdue's losses to James Madison and Western Michigan are
     going to keep their seeding lower than what it might have been.

    well I hear you and you are up on it;  my point is (I guess) that I
    disagree with the ncaa.  The big 10 mainly thru michigan but also via
    Indiana and Purdue have certainly held their own with the other
    conferences the last five years (edge to acc, maybe even with sec).
    
    So until they have forfeited their respect by inability to get to final
    four (and 2 or more to final 8) they should retain their seeding.  I
    can see rpi being used for the 3-10 area but conference integrity
    should be kept.

But where do you think they'll go ?  The lower the seed, the better the
chance you have of staying in your region (at least that's the pattern
I've noticed).

Imagine this Nazz:  If SU falls to a #6 and they stay in the East, and
UMass is #3 in the East, they could meet in ALBANY in the 2nd round !!!!

Which G'town team, the won that couldn't beat BC, or the one that beat

I would think that UMass would match-up better with G'town (ie: strength
against strength).  SU's backcourt could give the Minutemen some trouble...
they certainly wouldn't be "fodder".

    UMASS is a disciplined, agressive team with a similar talent base as
    Syracuse just much more better at executing and closing.
    
    Georgetown is somewhat similar to Temple, less well coached but if
    focused able to handle the inside.
    
    UMass can play with many different types of teams but the first thing
    any team has to do to stand a chance with them is neutralize the inside
    game.  Syracuse could never do this.
    
    Georgetown with a lesser team than this years gave Arkansas a very good
    run last year but was very much victimized by the refs.

      Some of this dialogue is kind of amusing.  Its sort of like
      "Team x beat Team y who beat Team z who beat the #1 ranked
      team, therefore Team x is the best team in the land!"
    
      Sure UMass lost to GWU.  They also beat Maryland AT Maryland
      and they thrashed Arkansas by ~24 points.
    
      I am one who doesn't think UMass is that good because the guard
      play is mediocre at best, but some of the logic in the recent

When I was a student at Pomona (class of '65), we were in Division III
of the NAIA.  I don't exactly remember what that stood for, some
permutation of National, Association, Intercollegiate, and Athletics,
I imagine, but we weren't part of the NCAA.  Does anybody know when
the NAIA was swallowed?

Pitzer College, incidentally, was founded in my senior year as a
women's college.  The two schools together might have 1500 or 1600
students.

    	Steve,
    
    		I don't know if the NAIA still exists or not. When I was
    at Southeastern Mass Univ (now UMass-Dartmouth) in the late 70's, the
    school was also a member of the NAIA. I think SMU moved to the NCAA
    about 10 years ago.
    
    		I don't have any results from the Pomona game last night.
    USA Today doesn't have the west coast scores. I'll post the score when I
    get it.
    
    	In the Northeast Regional, Umass-Dartmouth blew out Salve Regina
    117-77. Little East POY Stefan Pagios scored 32. Boston's Channel 5 did
    a short spot on UMass-Dartmouth last night. Pagios is a 5'7" guard,
    who none of the major colleges wanted because of his size. Apparently
    hje can shoot, going 6-6 from 3-point land last night.

So if the NAIA still exists, and schools like Pomona are in the NCAA, who
is left in the NAIA?

I mean, Pomona was pretty near the bottom of the college athletic ladder.
We were a student body of 1100, and no athletic scholarships were awarded.
The powerhouses in our league (SCIAC, Southern California Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference) were Redlands and Whittier (that's right, Tricky
Dicky's alma mater), and it included Biola and CalTech.

I'll never forget our two football games against CalTech in the Rose Bowl,
with maybe three hundred spectators snuggled in on either side of the 50-
yard line in a one hundred thousand seat stadium.  Surreal!

Steve,

I'm not tto sure who all's in the NAIA. Like the NCAA there is more than
one division.

WVIAC - West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference - still in in
the NAIA. The teams include some of our favorite like W.Va. Wesleyan.

I think - but I'm not sure - that some of the local small schools are
also in the NAIA like Pfeiffer, St. Andrew's and Lees-McRae.

    9-9 in the Big-10 won't cut it this year.  10-8 may not for perhaps one
    team, either.  The entire conference was floated this year by the
    woeful performances of both Ohio St and Northwestern, so a .500
    conference record is not impressive.  
    
    Penn St could still finish 10-8 and not make it (it's a longshot, but
    still possible).  Yet so far, at 8-8 they've only the one big win 
    against Michigan, and have simply taken care of business against Iowa,
    Wisconsin, and the two patsies to get them to .500.  Losses in _all_
    their close games (Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois) in the first 
    half did them in.

    I don't disagree; I just don't think you'll see 7 Big-10 teams in there
    unless they are all at least 10-8 in the conference.  Believe it or not, 
    it's still a remote possibility that 8 teams could go 10-8, and 
    regardless of the overall quality of the conference you can't have
    something like that happen without a couple of horrible teams at the 
    bottom generating lots of easy wins.  Picking up the 3 or 4 wins 
    against Ohio St and Northwestern almost automatically (only Minnesota
    lost to either all year long) makes the straight conference W-L record 
    somewhat deceiving.  A 10-8 record works out to a 6-8 or 7-8 record 
    against the top 9 teams, a 9-9 record to 5-9 or 6-9, and the records 
    should be evaluated more along those terms.

re:  Big-10 teams in the tourney

Spud,

The Big-10 has a low conference rating this year (RPI, Sagarin).
I just can't see 7 teams going from that conference, when the Big East
(higher rating) will only send 4.  I believe only 4 should go from the
BE, but I also believe 7 should NOT go from the Big-10.  Glenn's points
about record inflation provided by OSU and NW are proof that a .500
in-conference record is 'soft'.
14.1056MIMS::ROLLINS_RTue Mar 07 1995 14:0831

	Gonzaga 80, Portland 67 for WCC title (Bulldogs first NCAA berth ever)
	Old Dominion 80, James Madison 75 for CAA title
	Southern Illinois 77, Tulsa 62 for MVC title
	St.Peter's 80, Manhattan 78 (OT) for MAAC title

     True, but they are the ONLY way to compare conferences, and they WILL
     be used to determine how many from each conference get bids.  It seems
     unlikely to me the NCAAs will give the Big 10 seven teams, and stick
     higher rated conferences (for example, the Metro) with comparitively
     few tournament berths.

     In addition to determining who gets in, those non-conference games also
     help determine seedings.  Don't look for anyone other than MSU or Purdue
     to be seeded a #5 or higher.  That makes the second round games tough
     for the Big Ten.

     The fact is that the Big Ten is having a down year this year.  Only
     Purdue, Iowa, and Michigan State are playing really well right now, and
     Iowa won't get a bid.  Look for no more than 2 Big 10 teams in the
     Sweet 16.

 The 2/26 RPI had them rated as #62; with the cutoff probably being in the 40's
 (that's a guess).

 Two years ago, UW-Milwaukee went 23-4 without an invite; and Alcorn State went
 unbeaten in the early 80's (before the SWAC had an automatic bid) without
 getting a bid.  [UMES also went unbeaten in the mid-70's without a bid, but
 there was a question as to whether their schedule met the criteria to get a
 bid; I forget all the details.]
14.1065IMBETR::DUPREZTue Mar 07 1995 17:3916
Mid 40's might be a little high (low?) for a cutoff.  This is probably an
oversimplification, but I'd think it'd be something like:

	(64 - (non-top-64 conference champs))

If RPI were everything (and I realize it isn't), I understand that being #62
would put them in jeopardy, given the 11-18 and 15-14 teams that are already
in there.  (Don't get me going about that.)

But it just seems intrisically wrong to me for a team that is 25-3 to *have*
to win their conference to get in while .500 and sub-.500 teams are already
in.  I understand the importance of strength of schedule, but 25-4 vs. 17-12
is quite a difference.

    This debate comes up every year (with Manhattan it seems ;-), but it
    also seems intrinsically wrong that a 25-4 team that is truly a 
    deserving, quality team could lose its conference championship to a 
    St Peter's.  The _conference_ chooses to decide its champion with a 
    tournament, though.  In truth these smaller conferences are given 
    quite a perk as it is with their automatic NCAA bids, and the NCAA 
    should be under no obligation to take two teams in the event of 
    tournament upsets (they are far too common, for starters).  The second 
    team should only go if they have truly demonstrated that they are among 
    the best of the 40-odd remaining teams.  I don't think you can say that
    with Manhattan.

    I'm not saying they're obligated, I just think in this case that it
    makes sense.  Part of the fun of the NCAA tournament is seeing some of
    the "unknowns" that you don't see on national television ad nauseum.
    And these "unknowns" are a lot more competitive than a lot of people
    give them credit for - I'll haul out the "College of Charleston" example,
    since I think it's a close parallel (small school, flashy won/lost record).

    As long as the evaluation shows that they "make the cut", I'd rather see
    the unknown than a 17-12 major conference team that probably won't go very
    far.

    I'm not asking for "top 3 teams from every conference".  I just want
    teams that win that many games to get their due.  I'd be more than happy
    to also have a rule that says you lose your conference championship slot
    that year if your conference champion has a sub-.500 record in Division I
    games.  That'll free up a slot or two.

    	Manhattan might be 25-4 but how many of those wins are against

the weekend.  Even Notre Dame has had multiple national games this year.

And I'd be interested to see where you got the "average 7-15".  That's a
pretty wide spread for a group of averages, and I'd also be curious as to
the number of years that each of these averages came from.

"Any Division I school" was probably too much of a generalization, but I'd
still stand by the statement if it read "any big-conference Division I school".

I knew it wouldn't take long to draw out a Georgetown fan :-)

re:  invites to The Dance

Many people think ALL Div 1 schools should go to the tournament.
It would add one more week to the schedule, that's all.  But if
the current format remains, I don't think teams that play a very
soft regular season and build up a 25-4 record, should get in over
a team from a big conference that has a .500 record against teams
better than any on the small school's sched.  The big conference
teams should be rewarded for who they are.  They support multiple
Div 1 sports programs, and should be given priority over smaller
schools that only compete in Div 1 men's basketball so they can
steal a piece of the $$$ pie.  That's part of what drove the changes
to the $$$ distribution system, and why there's been discussion that
schools have to have more than one Div 1 sports pgm to be part of
NCAA Div 1 basketball.

    Re: Joe and others
    
    When I say non-con games from Nov-Dec don't mean much now, I'm not
    referring to the selections and seedings.  Of course that is taken into
    consideration.  What I meant is the actual strength of the teams right
    now.  Teams that weren't playing well back then (Michigan for one) are
    better now.  Others have gone backwards.
    
    Point two.  "I" never said seven teams would go from the Big10.  I said
    one reporter predicted that.  I thought it an interesting viewpoint to 
    provide a little balance to the 80% east coast BB fans in here.  I do
    think five and possibly six Big10 teams may make it.  I also think
    that's fair in light of these stupid post conference "made-for-TV"
    tournaments that give a last place team an AUTOMATIC bid into the NCAA
    for no apparent reason other than winning a silly round-robin
    tournament.  It still boggles my mind as to why the hell they play a 
    conference season in the first place.  Yes, I know the first place team
    gets in...
    
    I love college basketball in March, but I'll never watch a post
    conference tournament game.  It's a waste of time IMO.

Spud,

This is a never ending dispute.

Some conferences are set up so that they only use the regular season
standings in determination of the championship. The BigT1E1N, PAC10 and
Ivy are examples of this format.

Some conferences are set up so that the tourney which you reject outta
hand is how the championship is determined. The ACC uses this format.
It's the onliest one that I know of that does it this way. The tourney
winner is the champ and gets the bid.

In both of the above cases, one and only one team is the champion and
that team gets the automatic bid.

Then there are the conferences that award a championship based on the
regular season and then have a conference tourney to decide the automatic
bid. Almost every other conference uses this format.

Whoa, big fella.  I don't know where you get your info from, but the BE
does recognize a regular season "champion", but the team who carries the
defending conference champion label into the next season is the one who
wins the conference tournament.  This year that was Providence.

    Joe,
    
    Are you saying that the Big East (as well as many of these other
    conferences) does NOT get an automatic bid for both the regular season
    conference champ AND silly post-season tournament?  If that's the case,
    I'm all wrong.  But if that is the case, that's exactly my point.  Why
    should a team (such as Duke) even have the opportunity to get in the
    NCAA this year?  They sure haven't earned it.  Their record stinks, but
    if they get lucky and win three games, they're in.  Meanwhile, a
    deserving team somewhere else is bumped out.

Does the ACC recognize the regular season 'champ' in any way ?  Does
the school put up a banner of some sort ?  Anything ?

The BE recognizes them, that's it.  I don't see anything wrong with
that.  As has been said, the conference's champion for that season
is the tournament winner, who also gets the automatic bid.

I don't see anything significant here.  Whether Wake Forest is
the ACC's '#1 seed', or the 'regular-season champ' is a matter of
semantics.
14.1089AKOCOA::BREENThe roar of the paintWed Mar 08 1995 19:338
    In the past the BE referred to ties as co-champs and only used
    tie-breaker  for the seeding.  Personally the regular season record (eg
    best) is more significant than the tourney championship.  However if
    teams tie then a victory in the conf tourney or even best showing would
    be an acceptable tie-breaker.
    
    Tie-breakers in general (fe the ridiculous ones used in nfl) are
    definitely one of my sore points.

    	I like the fact that the winner of the tournaments gets the
    automatic bid for the NCAA. Injurys are a big par of sports. What if
    Marcus Camby broke a leg 5 games into the season and UMASS ended up
    with a 15-12 record or something like that. Your whole season could
    be ruined because of 1 key injury. In my senario it lets Camby come
    back and have UMASS win the A10 tournment and get into the dance.
    Instead of being on the bubble at 15-12.
    	In '83 N.C. State would not have been invited to the tournament.
    They won the ACC tournament got the automatic bid, then went on to
    win the National Championship that year.
    	As stated the drawback is that a team on the bubble doesn't make
    it.

In order: 

There is no regular season champ or anything. The best regular season
record gets you the top seed.

The one and only banner that goes up is for winning the tourney.

Now, under the anything category, they have started a trophy that the top
seed gets to keep for the year. I believe it's now called the Valvano Cup
or something to that ilk. The trophy was the product of a lot of Tar Heel
whining cause they seem to have the best regular season record much more
often than they win the conference championship. 

So you'd have to say that they do 'anything'. But it aint no banner and
it aint no championship.

    With Iowa's upset win over Michigan St last night, that 7-team Big-10
    scenario is not yet dead.  If Iowa beats Indiana on Sunday, at 10-8 in 
    the conference and 20-10 overall finishing strong (with a few very 
    close losses to quality teams early), I don't think they could be 
    denied (well, they could, but I think they'd be the team with the 
    biggest right to be upset about it).  That could leave Indiana or 
    Illinois or both to get bounced.  Illinois has faded late and even 
    though I was hearing last night that they should be in (Digger Phelps?), 
    I'm not really sure why.  And maybe Minnesota will end up having to 
    beat Penn St at PSU on Saturday, too, although by that time they may 
    have already been pencilled in (mentally).

    I do believe my Gophs will be in even if they lose their last two.  No
    Big10 team with a winning conference record has ever been denied. 
    Gophs are currently 10-6.  Illinois is at OSU for their last game -
    which won't be easy, they have played the top teams very tough lately, 
    but a win there puts them at 10-8.  With a win at IU, Iowa finishes a
    strong 10-8 and 20 wins.  This all could (and likely will) happen and 
    seven teams should find their way in.

	Can someone with the women's pairings tell me:

	Who is Maine going to lose to in the first round, and where ?
	And, who is the Ivy League rep in the women's tournament ?

	Thanks.

14.1125Wayne Turner is heading south!MROA::RSCHOTTWed Mar 15 1995 11:2510
         Wayne Turner, a 6'2" guard, from Mission Hill in Boston, and 
    Beaver Country Day School, will disappoint Syracuse, UCONN and UMASS
    today by announcing that he will attend the University of Kentucky next
    year.
    
         Turner closed out his high school career with a flourish, scoring
    over 60 points (that's per game) in games with Maine Central Institute 
    and the Naval Academy Prep School, both in losing causes.

Anyone know the TV schedule for Thursday and Friday ?
14.1127SNAX::ERICKSONGlobe 2, Calipari 1Wed Mar 15 1995 13:0311
    
    	I know that UCONN is the 2:40 game on Thursday. While UMASS is
    the 2:40 game on Friday. They didn't want to put UCONN or UMASS on
    during primetime for the first game. Since both teams would have
    required that NYC see the game. If there is a blowout, they didn't
    want to loose the NYC market.
    	So the primetime games will be teams more in the middle of
    the brackets for the first games. You should see the 7-12 seeds
    during primetime on Thursday and Friday.

  1st team AA: Respert, Stoudmire, Smith, O'Bannon, and  Stackhouse.......

  2nd team AA: Kittles, Childress, Wallace, Williamson, Roe.......

  3rd team AA: Allen, Minor, Reeves, Martin and Henderson I think...

  choosing by posistion I'd say the guards are interchangeable. I think
  Reeves could certainly change places with Wallace. 

  now the joke of the team was the Honarable Mentions: Keith Van Horn
  certainly could have made the 3rd team and Donny Marshall who isn't
  even the second best player on his team made it. I could see Scheffer
  or Ollie there and certainly feel Williams of Georgtown, Eberz and
  Lawson of Nova are more deserving along with probably 100 other players
  except of course that stiff Travis Knight........

 ;^)

 Allan Iverson also made Honarable Mention.......

        Tim Duncan
        Ray Allen

        Lawrence Moten

Yessireebee babes and babettes, its that time again, NCAA tourney time,
the first round.  The time of cinderella's, Davids vs. Goliaths, and
TVhoopathons galore!

Here I go, my picks for the first round, (don't bet the
house):  (PS.  Suitable for posting...)  ;-)

MIDWEST BRACKET:

Kansas (1) vs. Colgate (16) - The jayhawks will show their purly whites
againts the Tubesters.  Gleeming bright, rock chalk Jayhawk ready to
crest the wave.  Will hit big red like a arm and hammer.  pick:  Kansas

Western Kentucky (8) vs. Michigan (9) - What da heck are Fishbone's
Fakers doing in da field of 64 anyhow.  THIRTEEN LOSSES.  Thirteen!!!  
Moonshine special:  Western Kentucky

Arizona (5) vs. Miami-Ohio (12)  -  Tougher matchup then folks expect. 
Upset special, Cats tamed.  Pick:  Miami-Ohio

Virginia (4) vs. Nicholls St (13) -  I wouldn't bet a pretty penny on
Nicholls State.  The Cavs will draw and quarter them.  Nicholls will be
as sucessful as the Susan B. Anthony dollar!  Pick:  Virginia!

Memphis State (6) vs. Louisville (11) - Now, I like Denny Crum, and
like the Cardinals, but THIRTEEN LOSSES!!!  Out  of general principal,
and respect for the King, I must go with:  Memphis State

Purdue (3) vs. Wisconsin-Green Bay (14)  - The Boilermakers will make
Wisco-GB  pack it in for the season.  Even with Bolts Removed Keady at
the helm.   Pick:  Purdue

Syracuse (7) vs. Southern Illinois (10) - Tourney time, and Jim
Baywhine - like oil and chocolate, not a great combo.  However, I do
believe SIU is Walt Fraziers alma-mater, but I think the Orangemen will
squeeze out a victory.  Pick:  Syracuse

Arkansas (2) vs. Texas Southern (15) - So I hear a Mexican horn?  Do I
see Sam Bowie and Davey Crockett?  Cuz man, it sure seems like Alamo
time to me.  Pick:  Arkansas


SOUTHEAST BRACKET

Kentucky  (1) vs. Mount St. Mary's (16)  - I just hope the Wildcats are
gentle and use the proper precautions and practice safe wipeout while
mounting St. Mary's.  
Pick:  Kentucky

Brigham Young (8) vs. Tulane (9) - What a matchup!  Salt Lake vs. New
Orleans.  Tulane avenges the stealing of the Jazz!  Pick:  Green Wave of Tulane

Arizona State (5) vs. Ball State (12) - As long as Lute keeps the
frequent flyer coupons from littering the floor, they should roll over
and Bounce Ball State out of Memphis!
Pick:  Arizona "Friendly Skies" State

Oklahoma (4) vs. Manhatten (13) - Well, well, well.  Billy Tubbs could
be brain daid enough to blow this.  But I think the Boys from the Big
Apple will be hard pressed to make this a_A_peeling game!  Getting to
the core of it, should be easy as pie.  Pick:  Oklahoma.

Georgetown (6) vs. Xavier-Ohio (11)  -  Two Words:: Allan Iverson. 
Pick:  Georgetown

Michigan St. (3) vs. Weber St (14) - Jud's Magical Mystery Farewell
Tour begins with the Spartans grilling Weber State, smoking them early
and keeping the heat on.  Pick:  MSU

Iowas State (7) vs. Florida (10)  - What the heck is Florida doing in
here anyway?  Image:  Florida is a mobile home park, Iowa State are
Cyclones.  Nuff Said.  Pick:  Iowa St.

North Carolina (2) vs. Murray St !15) -  The Snuffer gets ready for
another glorious fall, but not against this squad.
Pick:  North Carolina

EAST BRACKET

Wake Forest (1) vs. North Carolina A&T (16) - Wake is the weakest #1
seed I've seen in a long time.  Lets hope the A&T stands for Alchohol
and tabaccy, cusz that's the only thing that could get you through this
game.  Pick: Wake

Minnesota (8) vs. St. Louis (9)  - Golden Gophers vs. Billikens.  Nuff
Said.  Pick:  St. Louis

Alabama (5) vs. Pennsylvania (12) - Imagine the conversations these
teams could have.  Sort of like Jethro meets the Master Cylinder.  I'm
not as high on Bama as a lot  of folks, but don't think Bama is quaking
over this matchup.  Pick:  Bama (Grudgingly)

Oklahoma State (4) vs. Drexel (13)  - The pivot matchup will be great. 
Two wide bodies.  BUt I like the one hit wonder Big Country to slay the
Dragon.  Pick:  OSU

Tulsa (6) vs. Illinois (11)) - Big Ten really must have sucked up to
the committee this year.  Tulsa will leave the Illinois faithful minus
inois.  Pick:  Tulsa

Villanova (3) vs. Old Dominion (14) - Old Dominion sounds like a
scotch, or rum.  Villanova sounds like a place on the Riveria.  One
word:  Kittles.  Pick:  Nova

UNC-Charlotte (7) vs. Standford (10) -  UNC-Charlotte gave us Cornbread
Maxwell.  Standord gave us Jim Plunkett and John Elway.  Nuff Said. 
Pick:  UNC-Cornbread

UMass (2) vs. St. Peters (15) - As long as the essay section is only
worth 15%, and they are allowed to bring their 'Hooked on Phonics'
tapes with them, the Minutemen should storm through the gates and beat
St. Pete's.  Then may not be able to spell 'St. Peter', but they will
beat them in hoops.  Pick:  U-M-A-S-S  Good Class.  


WEST BRACKET

UCLA (1) vs. Florida International (16)  - Eighteen Losses.
18.  One and Eight.  ELEVEN wins.  Gotta love it.  Even UCLA should
have enough thought process to pull this one out.
Pick:  UCLA

Missouri (8) vs. Indiana (9) - Want to see Bob KNight vs. UCLA in the
next round.  Pick:  Indiana

Mississippi State (5) vs. Santa Clara (12) - Two words;
Who cares?  Pick:  Mississippi St.  (Note for UMASS, when ST. is in
front of name, it means SAINT.  When behind, means STATE)  HTH.

Utah (4) vs. Long Beach State (13)  - Every year Utah makes the
tourney, showcasing a teamful of potential Celtics first round picks. 
If this was Baseball, I'd go with LBS.  But this is hoops.  Pick:  Utah.

Oregon (6) VS. TEXAS (11)  - Two teams going no where.  Upset special:  Texas

Maryland (3) vs. Gonzaga (14) - Mr. Smith, meet the basket.
Gonzaga, meet the bus.  You going home.  Pick:  Maryland

Cincinnati (7) vs. Temple (10) - John Chaney always makes me laugh. 
Owls don't give a hoot bout records, its tourney time, and I go with:  Temple

UCONN (2) vs. Tenn-Chattanooga (15)  - Pardon me boy, is that
Chattanooga's Team Bus  .. Yes Yes .. Don't turn it off, it will be  a
short stay.  Uconn sets up a Calhoon/Chaney second round matchup. Two
words: Ray Allen
Pick:  UCONN

Mike, Ball St. was the #4 seed from a middle-piddle-at-best conference.
The PAC-10 has been heralded most of the season as one of the two best
conferences in the country, with the ACC.  Given that Ari is gone already,
I'd say you don't have too much to crow about.

 Michigan got the 14 point lead but I then I remember it was Michigan...

    You're right about Michigan - they were having their WAY with Western
    and I put that one and myself to bed.
    
    Btw, announcers said the UMass - Wkent. game was at Mullins.  Somehow I
    thought it was played elsewhere.  UMass domination there was certainly
    discounted in final rankings.
    
    Syracuse and Indiana are big for my hopes.

	In the time honored tradition of SPROTS, congratulating
	someone who cannot read it:

	Here is a pat on the back to the NCAA Tournament Selection 
	Committee for a job well done .. what a thankless job those
	guys have:

	Spend a weekend in a hotel room pouring over stats and stats
	to pick the 64 team field, then come out and get grilled by
	the media over why so-and-so made it but so-and-so didn't ..

	Here is to Manhattan for winning and to George Washington for
	losing in the NIT for making the committee look good ..

	And what is with Georgia Tech? Too good for the NIT? Snobby
	attitude for a school that couldn't finish .500 in its own
	conference ..

	Vinny
	
14.1207CNTROL::CHILDSEnd Corporate Welfare Instead!Fri Mar 17 1995 15:2473
 The way it works is if you picked a team that already got knocked out or
 didn't make the tournement you get a 0 in that columun. In the case of
 the other columun you get reduced by the amount of teams that either got
 knocked out or didn't qualify........

 this one is over on monday...good luck to me..  ;^)

    Syracuse 48  So. Illinois 46   at the half

So Ill is in the game solely because of their 3-pt shooting.  They are
10-12 from beyond the arc.  And there have been a number of prayers.

Syracuse has gotten most of their scoring in the paint.  So Ill has
no one who can stop Wallace and Hill.

Can't see So Ill continuing with this shooting.

So Ill made something like 15 3-ptrs, the last 2 beyond NBA range with

SU was something like 19-23 from the field in the 2nd half...absolutely
NO interior defense to deal with Wallace (24pts) and Hill (16?).

Sorry Spud, but they could have played all day and still won.  So Ill
couldn't do anything with SU (67% FGs for the game).  SU had many 8-9 pt
leads throughout the 2nd half.  Every time the Salukis got close, it was
because they hit a couple consecutive 3s.

I'm not a foolish, blind fan_atic.  I know this team all too well.
They've got no chance of beating Ark.  SU hasn't been blown-out
of ANY game this year, but they don't close-out wins.  They don't
take care of the ball, miss too many FTs, and foul trying to play
defense at the end of the game.  Ark is just the type of team they
can't beat...too much defensive pressure on the ball.  But if SU
is going to lose, it'll be a lot easier on me knowing they lost
to the defending Nat'l Champs.


...I mean, it won't be like they lost to some school with a nickname
like the Bilikens....

14.1251Seeding Goofs?WREATH::SCOPAFri Mar 17 1995 17:5919
    Almost 1/3 of the games played have ended up in "upsets." I also
    estimate that three others could have ended up with the lower seed
    winning (could have been close to 50%).
    
    Does anyone share my thoughts that maybe these aren't upsets but just
    indications that the selection committee didn't do a good job seeding 
    the teams?
    
    How the heck do we get a 12 beating a 5, a 13 beating a 4, and an 11
    beating a 6 in the first day of the tournament?
    
    There's been one upset already today and almost another (*&^%$#@
    Florida...yeah I had 'em) and I'd say that there's a good chance of
    at least 4 more upset winners for the rest of today's slate.
    
    Anyone want to give what they think are the 3 most flagrant mis-seeds
    of the tourney? Shall we start off with Oklahoma, Manhattan, and Texas?

    Personally I think Syracuse has a good chance vs Arkansas.  They have
    the talent and Arkansas has been real funny this year.
    
    Also the Big East seems to prepare teams very well for post season
    although the talent may not always be there.  A lot will depend on the
    refs and the game is in Austin but 'cuse likes these kind of games.

      Rasheed wallace showed what he was made out of when he
     went down in the Wake Forest. Judging by the tears stream-
     ing down his cheeks, you'd have thought they'd have to 
     amputate. As it turned out, all he had was a sprained 
     ankle and he's playing to day. Tough as an robin's egg

 boo hoo hoo...bye bye Nova. Hats off to Old Dominion. If it took 25 overtime
 they were going to win they just wanted it more. Again the winner of the
 Big East tournement takes an early powder. Hey Billte maybe you were right
 about JT handing the game to UConn to save the troups.

 Big Ten 1-7? Must be something to those RPI rankings. Certainly lots of
 exciting finishes. Too bad COMMERCIAL Broadcasting Service doesn't know
 how to handle them. GOd forbid they switch from a game that just finished
 to a game in progress without that dam commerical break. Please bring back
 ESPN!!!!!!!

 Still think the most exciting game I watched was Penn/Bama.

 Hoyas against UNC. I can't wait. With as physical as Georgetown plays
 Dean ought have a coronary on the sidelines. Hopefully this time when he
 steps on the court to protests how the big bad hoyas are roughing up his

    I'm beginning to believe that the coaches should share in some of the
    grief over these no-timeouts-left fiascos, for wasting them almost
    unnecessarily and leaving nothing in reserve for emergency (or poor
    split-second decision-making).  Later, in OT, Syracuse called another
    critical TO with under 10 seconds left on the shot clock, putting
    more pressure on the play, and sure enough, the inbounds was
    intercepted.  I like the Wooden philosophy: players are coached to 
    know what to do in almost all circumstances, putting the pressure on 
    the other team to react without benefit of in-game coaching.
    
    Nonetheless, it still looked very good for Syracuse in OT, but Arkansas 
    came up with a heroic effort in those 5 minutes and deserves a lot of 
    credit for that.  Syracuse kept putting the pressure on by taking all 
    those 2-point leads on relatively easy inside baskets against undermanned 
    Arkansas, but the Hogs kept returning serve with the killer outside
    shooting.  Fantastic OT performance by both teams (better than
    Villanova-Old Dominion, I thought, where both teams were dog-tired and 
    seemed unable to do much to put the other away).

    If any of you taped that Ark-Syr game check out the Ark steal with 36.3
    seconds left on the OT. Did the ball cross the time line in the
    designated 10 seconds or was there a violation?
    
    Slow down your VCRs and check it out. If 100 people watch the tapew 50
    will say they got it over the line in time and 50 will say the ball
    should have gone to Syr.

    That was one exciting weekend!  I went 22-10 in the firsted round,
    11-5 in the second, with two of my "elite eight" history ('nova 
    and Michigan State), but so far all of my final four are still 
    hangin' on.
    For my money, the Syracuse-Arkansas had the best finish.  Unlike
    the 'nova-OD game where both teams were physically drained, here
    we had the starters fouling out and all the pressure dumped on the
    bench players.  Showed who had the most depth.

    Judging from the scores they were flashing up, UCLA must have made a
    nice 3-5 point comeback in the last 1:30 or so to take the lead before
    Mizzou got it back with 4.8 seconds to go.  I guess we'll never know.
    Like you, Nazz, I thought annoying cut-ins to the primary game in a
    given region was what CBS was supposed to be good at.  Here we had a
    tremendous finish that was completely obliterated.
    
    One thing that CBS has made quite clear, though: they will cut in and
    out of games at their discretion but they will _not_ drop or alter
    commercial time.  Somebody's got to pay da bills...

      I too was wondering about a back court violation.  It just seemed
      like it took a looooong time.
    
      I have Villanova/UCLA/Arkansas/North Carolina for my final four
      and with Villanova out, I was rooting for Syracuse and Missouri.
      Syracuse can sure hold their heads up.  By the way, the Globe said
      it was Moten that called the time out and they distinguished him from
      the guy that made the steal.  What a tough game to lose!!
    
      The thing I have to wonder about CBS is the split screen.  Man, if 
      you're not sure what to do, THROW THE SPLIT SCREEN UP THERE!!!
    
      When I saw that score with 4.7 seconds left, I said, "UCLA lost."
      And then CBS shows a bunch of UCLA people celebrating!  Wow, is that
      PATHETIC!!!
    
      Look at Georgetown's win too!  The guy for Weber State misses the
      front end of a 1 and 1 and Iverson just about airs a ball that a guy
      reverse lay-ins from the rebound with no time remaining!!
                                                                    
      March madness.  Best sporting event of the entire year for me.

14.1293Bumheims epitaph: Never lost a game with timeouts remainingAKOCOA::BREENThe roar of the paintMon Mar 20 1995 14:409
    Speaking of getting their commercials in.. I notice that in the final
    seconds the coaches have to get all their timeouts in and as Glen
    remarked old bumhead lost because of the practice.  Why can't CBS
    factor in the extra commercials they get in the end instead of
    insisting on their scheduled ads.
    
    Are these coaches advised to use up all their timeouts so ncaa can show
    CBS how many great 'demand' commercials they got (on the pain,say, of
    more stringent scrutiny of their recruiting practices).
14.1294HELIX::MAIEWSKIMon Mar 20 1995 14:456
  Just be happy CBS isn't using it's Olympics formula in which you get to see
about 10% of the action and 3/4ths of the coverage concerns the personal lives
of the athletes.

  Could be much worse,

 this was the one that broke my back. They're covering the IU/Missouri
 game, they do a live look-in to show the Nova/OD game going to OT. The
 IU game finishes and instead of going directly to the OT like ESPN would
 they go to 5 minutes of commercial. We finally get the Nova game with a
 minute plus left in the first OT with Nova taking a timeout and they go
 right back to commercial.........

 and they think they're getting better......

Hell, they've lost football, and for my money, excepting perhaps their
golf coverage, that was about the only thing they did well....

Their coverage sucks -- they skip around so much that if they happen to
have games where similar uniforms are worn, you can get so mixed up.

My mom has been watching a lot of the games -- she likes to watch
college hoops but not the pros -- and she says that unless she pays close
attention, it's really easy to get mixed up the way they jump around....

  CBS does have the Winter Olympics. They covered it in both '92 and '94.

 the trick was that we picked these about a month ago before anybody qualified
 or the seeding were known. It certainly gets easier when you know who's

 I can't take it anymore. Sandbaggin' ain't my game. The Hoyas will win
 tomorrow night because when the going gets easy, that's when Dean is at
 his worst. Wallace is a wimp who won't be able to handle the physical
 play the Hoyas lay on him. Boubcar will shutdown Stackhouse. No one on
 the Heels will keep Williams off the glass. Iverson will show Dean that
 he's player that Dean shouldn't have rejected just because he got in a
 little trouble. Harrington will hustle and get his points and boards.
 The ACC is overrated. Dean will get a T for whinning. Mcguinnis will be
 dizzy from watching Alan. Don Reid will bury anyone who comes in the lane.
 Donald Williams will fein sickness early in this one.......

 Hoyas by 10...........

    sweet sixteen pool, that doesn't exist, so that your iron is

    I also like the Hoya's chances, but and it's a big one, they have to
    shoot well.  I do think they match up pretty well.  Boubabcar is
    a pain in the butt and as long as he doesn't foul out will create
    havok.  Iverson will get his, Wallace and the Big O is a draw, Williams
    is going to be big off the boards.....

Goin' for that ol' end o' season peak thang, huh?

I'd luv to see it but it aint gonna happen. The Heels may not cover but
they aint gonna lose. Locally, they're talking more about Pat Sullivan's
return than Michael Jordans' ;-). 

What the Hoyas should do is run, run, run and then run some more. Like
most of Dean's teams, this one aint got no foot speed. Tell whoeer is
guarding Donald Williams to not let him take it inside and do that little
sissy shot put shot he does. Definitely, make Rasheed work and hopefully
whine.

Also, they should keep it close and not go ahead until near the end. Put
on a little 8-0 or so run cause you know Dean won't call a time out when
he needs it.

Hoyas shoot well? I doubt it but it would be nice to see. If'n it
happens, Dean has proven that he will not under any circumstances change
his D. Big John should make his team watch the ACC finals over and over.

    re. last few - As I think I mentioned earlier, and based upon what I
    was hearing when I was in DC earlier this month, it appears that Smith
    is pulling a Bias - he's checked out of school, and has about a 1.4
    GPA.  If I'm the administrators at UMD I wouldn't want these "facts",
    if true, published.  Just hope their are no repercussions because of
    it.  Then again, how do you motivate a 19 year old kid to go to class
    when he's looking at a possible $75M payday this summer?
    
    MD vs UConn - Gonna be a good one!  If Smith stays hot and the Terps can at
    least hit enough shots from the outside to keep UConn honest, they
    should win.  The Terps have, however, shown that they are as capable as
    anyone as going in the tank on any given game.  Local paper indicates
    that the KY vs ASU game is on the tube, not the Terps (damn).  Oh well,
    if the KY game is a blowout maybe they'll go to the Terps.

Uhh, Smith is far from the firsted NCAA hooster to do this since Len Bias.  This
happens all the time.  Kids often make their decision half way through the
basketball season, after fall semester ends.  I learned from the dad of a player
on the last year's GW team that Yinka Dare did the exact same thing.

If'n Joe was academically eligible at the beginning of thised semester,
then it really doesn't matter what he does now. The onliest problem would
be in the case of he really flunked out lasted semester and he's still
playing.

Can you say Charles Shackleford?

But back to hoops. The real problem for UConn is that they have no
matchup for Joe. He's gonna rool in the middle. It'll be up to the guard
to play their way past the Terps.

TTom
14.1337exBIGQ::MCKAYThu Mar 23 1995 14:1414
    No matchup for Smith.  UCONN has 15 fouls to use up on him and I'll
    bet Heyward and Willingham foul out.  Joe is not ready for the
    physical beating he's going to take.  He will not get 20 points in
    this game. Knight is better than people think and it would not 
    suprise me to see him win the battle with Smith.  Of course I'll be
    in bed by 10:35 and can't possibly watch the game!!!! 
    
    UCONN can be beat with the 3 pointers and when they shoot lousy. 
    Maryland is a so so 3 pointer team and will not win this game unless
    UCONN tanks it from the perimeter

    Sorta agree with the last reply, except that FSU tried that tactic
    (beatin' up on poor Joey) in the ACC Tourney.  their big guys all
    fouled out and MD went on to win the game.  MD also got some decent
    bench play in that game, and if I am not mistaken, Smith didn't hit a
    basket (except FT's) until the second half.
    
    If MD can't hit from the outside, it's gonna be a long night (unless
    Smith goes crazy).

 What my astute colleague IMJimbo has forgotten is the game is out West
 where the PAC-10 refs go for the pansy style of game. They will not allow
 UConn to rough Joe up. UConn will need 30 fouls not 15 to stop him. Besides
 slowing the game down would be the worst mistake UConn could make. Both 
 teams like to fly but Maryland does do a better job than UConn in the
 half-court game.

    Huskies can allow Smith his 25 or 30, provided they keep everyone else

    Maryland seems to have peaked early and will lose here.
    
    UCLA may be tougher than I thought and this should be a pickem vs a

    Kentucky in a tougher contest, perhaps losing in second half and
    winning with a rush at the end by 10.

 naw I don't think so Glenn. He was wide open offensively. even I could make

 the Hoyas do from the perimeter they have to take it to the hole thus 
 increasing his blocks. At 7 ft he ought have more boards than he did.

    Mikey, 
    	I guess you were too close to the action.  Wallace was immense last
    night and I didn't think he could do it.  I even now think carolina has
    a chance vs Kentucky which I saw for a few minutes last night. 
    Considering he's not 100% I have to give him a lot of credit; I was
    saying the other Wallace (Syracuse) was the one until last night.
    
    	One problem with Georgetown is possibly too much depth.  If they
    want to use 10-12 men then they should have been man to man press from
    the start.  It seemed like Don Reid was out of there for long periods
    of time.  I hope Iverson sticks around a few years.
14.1364domination by Kentucky's front lineHBAHBA::HAASrecurring recusancyFri Mar 24 1995 12:4436
Some o' my thoughts.

Everyone, excepted me :-(, went 1-1 lasted night. UCLA won, Arizona St
lost. No Carolina won, Maryland lost. Kentucky won, Mississippi St lost.
UConn won, Georgetown lost.

Allen Iverson looks like the real deal. Certainly, he was way too quick
for any of the plodding Heels to keep up with. But is he the coach or is
Thompson? The Heels won on their outside shooting in the firsted half and
Rasheed in the second half. The warning to Kentucky is that Stackhouse
barely showed up.

Speaking of Kentucky, I think one issue is clear:

from 21.2641
>> Maybe I'm missing something here TTom but I fail to see Kentucky's great
>> inside strength.
>
>> As far as Pitino goes I wouldn't exactly call him a great coach just yet.
>
>That's 'cause they don't have any, and even if they did, Pitino doesn't
>know how to use it.  

On this issue, I have been exonerated. The 'don't have any' front line of
Kentucky scored 16, 10, and 15 which oh by the way outscored the
unstoppable Sun Devils front line. 

From the USA Today: "Kentucky's front court men, particularly Rodrick
Rhodes and Andre Riddick *DOMINTATED* (my emphasis) inside." 

Next!

Maryland looked like it took the night off and Mississippi St played like
they'd never been there afore, which they aint.

TTom
14.1365CNTROL::CHILDSEnd Corporate Welfare Instead!Fri Mar 24 1995 13:0511
 geez TTom you're getting to sound like  Ack Ack. UK's frontline has a good 
 game and you're in claiming their the second coming and you've been cleared.
 
 Say what you want about Wallace but imo any 7 footer who doesn't get 10
 or better boards a night should be ashamed of himself. His offense was
 easy cause Georgetown's adjustment was to overplay the perimeter. I was
 definately more impressed with Stackhouse who showed me there was more
 to his game than just scoring.........

 mike
14.1366yep and for tonight ...HBAHBA::HAASrecurring recusancyFri Mar 24 1995 13:1436
Mike

All this started cause I said that Kentucky would not have a problem with
Mario and his boys. I never used the "G" word, nor did I say that they
were even the best front line left in the tourney. I'm merely countering
the they don't have one theory of the front line.

I've seen Kentucky several times thised year. Their 3 pointers get a lot
of ink but their front line is very solid. That's all.

Right now, there are several teams playing very well. Certainly UConn and
UCLA looked good lasted night, along with Kentucky. UMass looks good too.
These teams look to be on a higher plane than the rest of 'em.

Undaunted, with my stellar 1-3 (and that one was a barely covered by the
Heels) here goes for tonight:

In the Wake-Oklahoma St, I'm doing the traditional MrT thang and saying
Wake hasn't a chance. For them to win, they have to have big games outta
Duncan and Childress. They'll be matched by Big Country and Rutherford.
The edge goes to the Cowboys cause Eddie Sutton has been here before and
Dave Odoms hasn't. 

UMass will storm over the Tulsa Hurricanes. This one won't be close. Easy
cover.

Kansas will hold on to beat Virginia. The line looks about right and I'll
lean toward the semi-home team Jayhawks. Burroughs and Deane will keep it
close but the rookie Curtis Staples will get stage fright. Look for
semi-namesake Jerod Haase to show him up.

Arkansas will finally come outta their funk and beat Memphis by about 10.
Corliss Williamson will find some way not to foul out and the steady
platoon of players that Nolan Richardson sends in will be too much.

    Arkansas has been so lucky so far that their luck is due to change.
    Memphis in an upset.
    
    UMass will be too athletic for Tulsa, and pull away in the second half
    to win by 11.
    
    The one mismatch is Kansas-Virginia.  This will be one ugly game.
    Kansas wins 64-42.  Virginia won't be able to throw it in the ocean.

     The thing that struck me most about Wallace's admittedly impressive
     performance was that the Hoyas never put a body on him. It was as
     if they'd never heard of him or of boxing out. Every time the ball
     went up, their necks craned upwards and they tried to enter into a 
     jumping contest which they all too often lost. I want to see Wallace
     what Wallace does when he has to work a little harder at it.
    
     Another thing about last night's game was that Iverson showed flashes
     of brilliance but he has less discretion than a two dollar hooker. He
     relies way too much on his incredible talent to get him out of spots
     he has no business being in. If he can harness it a little bit, he'll

The fack that Eddie Sutton is allowed to coach in the NCAA is one of the

When he trashed the program at Kentucky, players were permanently banned,
a coach was permanently banned and what happens to Sutton, the man in
charge? Zip, nothing.

He merrily moves on to another program and now everyone's ranting and
raving about what a master guru he is. The man is a disgrace and the NCAA
has no credibility about cleaning up its act until they change the rules
that allow the likes of Sutton to move on to other programs after what he
did at Kentucky.

In the firsted game, I'm liking that scumbag Eddie Sutton and the points.
One can only hope that UCLA actually wins the game but I think this one
is close and the Cowboys might even win outright. The whole issue is who
can force the tempo. The lower the score the better I like Okie State.
If'n it's up and down the court, the Broons could win big.

In the seconded game, I've been flip flopping more than that famous
Arkansas Clinton. And the answer is Dean over Nolan. Dean will most
certainly whine about the officiating and Nolan will most certainly whine
about not getting any respect. The matchups are real interesting but I
give the Heels the nod because of Jerry Stackhouse. He's the one guy
Arkansas won't be able to handle.

 While I agree with ya Billte that the refs went with Okie St. in the second
 half I don't think it had as big an outcome on the game as Rutherford heating
 up, the UMass injuries and pathetic shooting. I think it was more blantant
 and had more direct impact in the Virgina game. Arkansas was lost until the
 refs let them murder any Virgina player that dared to pentrate and allowed
 them to just slap guys on the arm when they double teamed.

was being called was adjusted.  Refs are like any other team - if things
aren't going the way they think they should go, they make adjustments.
What you don't seem to address is that maybe UMass was getting *more* than
their share of breaks in the first half, and things evened out.

But your comments have been giving me a chuckle - with people being so
ga-ga over UMass, they're still trying to get over the fact that their

14.1416I'll pick Arkansas => UCLA the winnerAKOCOA::BREENMon Apr 03 1995 17:4817
    well mike I'll give you a synopsis:
    
    Stackhouse got a knee in the thigh right off the bat, no foul tho he
    was sandwiched.
    NC came out cold but heated up and the Donald especially was very hot
    and had most of his 21 points in the first half.  7 point lead got
    shaved to 4 on a buzzer beater by "Baby" Stewart.
    
    NC was cold but persisted with 3s with Calabria and Donald pulling
    ofers.  Finally when all was lost Dean went inside and refs started
    calling the fouls.  At 1 point Calabria fouled instead of letting clock
    run down with 1 minute left.  The foul shots and NC misses wrote
    history to the heels.
    
    It looked like Stackhouse couldn't jump, Rasheed was mortal, Williamson
    was immense.  Hogs will be very tough to beat and I've been wrong about
    everything this tourney.

    Despite having six McDonald's All-Americans on the team, Dean's squad
    was not as deep as Arkansas'?  Give me a freakin' break!  The only
    reason the Heels weren't as deep was that Dean chose not to be.  He
    surely could've used Zwikker in the second half to compensate for
    the inside game of the Hogs, but he didn't.  He could have played
    Sullivan or Landry more instead of the hospelessly outclassed Calabria,
    but he didn't.  He could have pressed Arkansas right back, since the
    one weakness of the Hogs is ballhandling, but he didn't. 
    
    Carolina could have and should have beaten Arkansas - Dean just didn't

The essence of Dean's incompetence can be illustrated in the way he and
the team failed to defend Williamson.

The game plan going in was to cover him one-on-one with Rasheed. On
paper, a quick and agile 6'10" shot blocker/All American should be able
to cover a 6'7" power forward/All American. About 2 minutes into the
game, it became apparent that this defense was not working. Rasheed
looked tentative like he was more concerned with fouling out than
guarding his man.

And did the Heels adapt or change? Hail no! 

And that is the essence of Dean. 

In terms of player talent, the major flop was Donald Williams who did his
best imitation of Brick Fox from a couple of years ago. Dante Calabria
looked like he shouldn't have been on the floor with the other 9 players.

And as mentioned, the lack of bench is all Dean. They have a_excellent
player in Shamond Williams who most of you probably have never seen.
Serge is adequate as is Pearce Landry. In all honesty, I don't think any
of the Heels would ever get far enough to need a a bench. Their principal
rivals in the ACC, Maryland and Wake, are basically a starting unit only
themselves.

    He tried Zwikker, Landry and Sullivan and they were more outclassed
    than Calabria and Donald.  The latter had a fantastic first half and
    the former a good overall game.  NC was much the better team that half
    after a cold start.  But they didn't bury Arkansas, that is a Dean
    problem; keeping teams in the game.
    
    Dean switched to Stackhouse covering Williamson finally he double
    teamed him.  What he was minute(s) late doing was changing from 3 pters
    to driving to the basket.  Arkansas was nearly guilty of a monumental
    choke losing an 11 point lead down to 1 in < 3 minutes.
    
    This was the failure of Wallace I'd anticipated earlier - perhaps
    seeing Stackhouse injured and limping demoralized him.  Stackhouse
    deserves some award for his courage.
14.1422not from hereHBAHBA::HAASrecurring recusancyMon Apr 03 1995 20:3910
Caint quite follow the string, but, Calabria shot 1-fer-10, couldn't
guard the ref much less any of the Arkansas players and committed a
totally boned haid foul at the end when the Heels still had a chance.
With the shot clock getting ready to go to zero, Calabria grabbed Beck
who promptly hit both free throws.

I'm not sure what part of the game he looked good during. Maybe the
pregame shoot around?

TTom
14.1423Why were you being tru to your Conference?AKOCOA::BREENTue Apr 04 1995 13:257
    I was referring to the first half where he made his 3 and played
    agressively and moved the ball.  He was atrocious along with the rest
    in the second half.
    
    Only Stackhouse played well and he with one leg.  I'm hardly a Calabria
    fan except to say in contrast to how bad he was in second half he was
    okay in first.
14.1424SKII::CHILDSEnd Corporate Welfare Instead!Tue Apr 04 1995 13:2913
 Nice job by the Bruins last night. They dominated the boards and that was
 the biggest difference imo. Wonder how low Wallace's stock is trading for
 today after the number the swd's Zidek did on Big Nasty. Bailey was magnifcent
 but Obannon was the man. Anytime they need something Eddie delievered. I pulled
 a JoJ last night as I went into the game rooting for the Hogs but the sheer
 determination and grit of the Bruins had me rooting for them before the end.

  I'd say Eddie OBannon made the right choice 4 years ago when he stiff SU
  for UCLa. If he had gone to SU he probably would have been in the title game
  last night but wouldn't have gotten to cut down the nets...........

You gotta believe Jim Harrick partied lasted night. And Ed O'Bannon
certainly didn't do anything to hurt his stock. Zidek completely shut
down Williamson and the rest of Arkansas just didn't come through.

Todd Bailey, Cameron Dollar and Charles O'Bannon will give this team a
good core of players for nexted year.

TTom
14.1426Very entertaining - as usualPOBOX::WIERSBECKTue Apr 04 1995 13:4820
    Funny mike, but I did the same thing.  I went in thinking I'd be
    rooting for Arkansas, but switched sometime in the first half.  I just
    loved how they controlled the boards and busted the press and trapping
    defense Arkansas is famous for, time after time.  A friend was telling
    me about this Bailey kid and he was something else.  I think I also
    switched because I wanted to see UCLA come through without their star
    guard.  I never did hear, what happened to Edney's wrist?
    
    Anyone else notice what an idiot Billy Packer is?  Early in the second
    half he kept saying how fatigue was setting in on UCLA.  Meanwhile,
    they're fast-breaking down for a layup.  Oops, they're grabbing their
    shorts now, uh-oh, another fast break.  Then the play where Dollar is
    bringing it up and Billy's screaming that has to be a foul (on Dillard)
    He fouled him twice, Billy screams.  The replay shows clearly that
    Dollar banged into the defender twice and then slipped.  Billy's just
    too good for himself.  I want a mute button for certain announcers, but
    still hear the crowd, band, etc.  Someone invent one please!  :*)

    An excellent performance by essentially five men, as Henderson was
    useless and spent most of the evening sittin' beside Edney.  I
    guarantee you that nobody would have given UCLA a chance if they knew
    Edney wasn't gonna play.
    
    Ed O'Bannon really stepped up and showed what senior leadership is all
    about.  Toby Bailey showed the world what the people who saw him at the
    Boston Shootout found out last summer - that he is truly a fun player
    to watch and has an incredibly explosive game.  But the Bruin who may
    ahve maaade himself the most money last night was George Zidek.  His
    defense against Corliss was superb, and you gotta love that hook shot! 
    I'll wager there's room on some NBA roster for him nexted season.

Billy Packer is a_idiot and on the list of announcers I refuse to listen
to.

Most of the time, I was watching and taping Serial Mom on another TV
while I assumed he would go on and on about something he had prepared to
say regardless of what was happening. That he was commenting on UCLA
wearing down when it was obvious that they we're outplaying and

      Not only does Billy Packer beat things into the ground but
     last night he lauded a piece of UCLA strategy and then the
     first time that Arkansas scored he says, "Harrick has to be
     questioning the wisdom of that." Then there's his need to 
     fill every minute of air time with audio even if he has
     absolutely nothing to say. Between him, Raftery with his 
     Vitale imitation and Vitale with his Regis Philbin imitation,
     it's enough to bring back the glory days of radio.
14.1430Packer's a dog AKOCOA::BREENTue Apr 04 1995 14:2511
    I actually had to listen to the radio because I was picking up the dog
    because she ate the rug at her new home which wasn't the right place...
    Oh, sorry Tommy that's not your thing.. I'll skip the dog talk.
    
    Anyway, Vitale was on the radio and the announcer had a voice vs the
    shouting on tv and Freddie Baby was pointing out the crucial role of
    Zidek.  When I finally got to the tv Zidek was out, Arkansas was making
    a mild comeback but Packer didn't have a clue.
    
    Packer drives me crazy about all the time but he's obviously hired to
    try to reach very casual fans according to some network formula.
14.1431The one, The onlyAGNT99::CHILDSEnd Corporate Welfare Instead!Tue Apr 04 1995 16:1436
 from the NCAA's greatest players/teams poll on the internet:

Bill Russell (San Francisco) He put the San Francisco basketball
program on the map in the mid-fifties. The 6-foot-10 center led
San Francisco to a back-to-back Final Four titles in 1955 and
1956. He was named to the All-Final Four Team twice and won
the MVP honor in 1955. Russell averaged 22.5 points and posted a
4-0 mark in his Final Four career. San Francisco recorded title
game victories over La Salle (77-63) in 1955 and Iowa (83-71)
in 1956. Russell saved his best for last, recording 26 points and a
Final Four-record 27 rebounds in the title game vs. Iowa. Russell
stills owns the two-game total for rebounds (50) that he
established in the 1956 classic.

The Teams

1955-1956 SAN FRANCISCO (29-0) How do you improve on a
season in which you go 28-1 and win the Final Four? That's
exactly what San Francisco was up against in 1956, and they met
the challenge. The Dons posted a 29-0 mark and won their
second consecutive title. The Dons dominated their opponents,
winning all but two of their regular season clashes by double digits
and averaging a 14-point victory margin. San Francisco had only
one close call the entire season, a 65-58 win over Marquette.
Unanimous first-team All-American Bill Russell led the squad,
averaging 20.6 points and 21 rebounds. Sharing the offensive load
with Russell were fellow seniors K.C. Jones and Hal Perry, who
averaged 9.8 and 9.1 points, respectively. Also contributing were
junior Carl Boldt (8.6) and sophomores Mike Farmer (8.4 points
and 7.8 rebounds), Gene Brown (7.1) and Mike Preaseau (4.1).
San Francisco managed to prevail in the tournament despite the
fact that Jones was ineligible to play in the postseason. Russell
picked up the slack, saving his best for the championship game vs.
Iowa when he scored 26 points and pulled down a game-high 27
rebounds.

14.1434Thoughts On ChampionshipSTRATA::BARBIERIWed Apr 05 1995 17:3243
      I kind of wanted UCLA to win going into the game simply because
      I felt Arkansas had so many close calls that I couldn't feel 
      real bad for them if they lost.  I also thought it would be nice
      for UCLA to exorcise the past 20 years.
    
      After beginning to watch the game, I couldn't help but really
      want UCLA to win.  With Edney gone, their rotation seemed to go
      from 7 to 6 and thats significant against a team like Arkansas.
      I figured UCLA's advantage would be team speed and Arkansas' would
      be depth and so with the fastest guy gone and UCLA's depth reduced
      by one, it sure didn't look good.
    
      As everyone knows, Ed Obannon looked great.  But, boy, Baily sure
      was something else too.  What really got me was his poise for a
      freshman; the one commodity that I don't know how it is one person
      has and another does not.  Baily was 12/20 and I think 3 of the
      misses were on purpose (hard off the glass).  And he really fought
      on the boards.  Thats really where the game was won - rebounding.
    
      When Arkansas took it to within 4, I thought it was all over for
      UCLA, but somehow they hung in.  The bomb to Obannon for a jam was
      a fitting finish.
    
      As far as Packer...he bothers me some, but not real much.  You can 
      tell he truly loves the game.  I know he has a need to always have
      to say *something*, but I find that he sometimes clues me in on
      things that should be obvious, but sometimes I (and others?) might
      not quite notice with the right emphasis.
    
      Mainly I'm thinking about how he complimented UCLA's ability to pass
      and catch from the interior.  After he said that, I was especially
      observant of this capability UCLA had.  I also think he made a good
      (although obvious) point about UCLA maybe tiring at the end.  I'm
      amazed they didn't tire more with what little rotation they were
      allowed to have.
    
      Good for UCLA.  I'm happy for them.
    
      Amazing what ONE play can do for a team though.  If Edney doesn't 
      drop that unorthodox one-hander...UCLA's just an underachieving 3rd
      round wannabe.

Wail, the Tark is back and he's already making news.

Fresno St has hired Tarkanian and the rumors are hot and heavy that he is
trying to woo Stephon Marbury from his verbal commitment to Georgia Tech
and Paul Pierce from Kansas. Both are high school AAs.

As was his style at UNLV, Tark's technique is to go for players who have
verbally committed but haven't formally signed. He goes to those players
and offers about any and everything he can which is these cases is
rumored to be job offers for family and friends of the players.

Right now, the NCAA rules do not forbid going after a player when only a
verbal commitment has been made.

So far, Marbury's father is denying that Stephon is considering any
change and reaffirmed that he is still going to Georgia Tech.

Yeah, I guess in the day and age when you publicly commit to something it

comes down to who has the better lawyer.

Also, it all fairness to Tark, the ploy of offering friends and relatives

No, Mike, I don't live in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill so this don't
wash. However, as a real fan of NC State, having actually gone there, I
do catch them as often as I can. Usually they play one or 2 games in this
area each year and I've seen several of them. They'll be back nexted year
at Davidson if'n I'm in town I'll be there. When I lived in Raleigh, I
seldom missed a game even though I worked and went to night school.

I am not a fan of No Carolina although I see them quite often as well.
They host a tourney every December at the Hive and I've seen it several
times. Also, when they play it here, I go to the ACC Tournament which is
no small feat considering they sell out every year and you have to try to
pick up tickets any way you can.

I do have season tickets to the Hornets and go to every game I'm in town

HEADLINE: Vagabond star: College is next step for Blount

BYLINE: WAYNE COFFEY

   The wandering high school life of Mark Blount is edging toward a close
now, after three states, seven schools and more twists than a leaf in a
windstorm. It hasn't been four years so much as it has been a mini-series, the
installments including having his life threatened with a gun, getting a stern
talking-to from the NCAA and dealing with two nearly constant companions --
controversy and college recruiters.

   In Detroit, at the Magic Johnson Roundball Classic, Blount was on the
floor with other members of America's prep elite. He scored nine points. He
expects to graduate from Dobbs Ferry (N.Y.) High School in June. Beyond that,
not much is certain about Blount other than that he is a long-limbed young man
of staggering potential and that Tom Konchalski, a respected prep scouting
maven, was not far off in describing him.  

   "He is the Marco Polo of high school basketball,'' Konchalski said. He
also is said to be considering playing for the University of Texas.

   Mark Blount, 19, a Parade All-American, is forging an enduring identity.
Is he a 7-footer with all the moves or just a 7-footer who moves? Is he a
fundamentally good kid who has made some bad decisions, a kid with ample time
to sort things out? A kid who has struggled without the moorings of a stable
family life?

   Or is he a guy who already has been sucked into the seamy underbelly of
big-time sports, who thinks he's untouchable and that guaranteed millions
will be his ... because for years the system and a dubious assortment of adults
have told him so?

   Blount was the high school player of the year in Westchester County this
season. He led Dobbs Ferry to an 18-3 record, averaging 24 points, 14
rebounds and six blocks, and showing an uncommon gift for passing. Coach John
Costello said he was a bit cautious about Blount given his itinerant past but
said Blount quickly won him over.

   "He is a great kid,'' Costello said. "He was easy to work with. He worked
very hard in practice. He was well-liked. He was like the pied piper (in
school), the way little kids followed him around.''

   Costello's kind words are echoed by others who know Blount. Sensitive,
articulate, mild-mannered are the adjectives used to describe him. "He's a
very gentle soul. He really is,'' said Lou d'Almeida, coach of the Gauchos, one
of Blount's former summer-league teams.  "He's too gentle. He trusts everybody.
You can't trust everybody, because not everybody has your best interests at
heart.''

   What also is apparent about Blount, however, is the sometimes sizable gap
between what he says and what he does. He agreed to be interviewed for this
story, but did not show. He did not respond to more than a dozen messages
after that. One area coach who knows him called Blount "a good guy with no
accountability.''

   Long before he wound up in Dobbs Ferry, Blount grew up in Yonkers, just
five miles to the south. When he was in his early teens, his mother moved to
Summerville, S.C. Mark spent ninth grade at Summerville High, then went to
nearby Fort Dorchester. Midway through his sophomore year, he transferred to
Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., a renowned prep power coached by
highly respected Steve Smith.

   While playing on a nationally ranked team that included Jerry Stackhouse,
Blount's game developed rapidly at Oak Hill. So did some problems.

   Smith said he learned that Blount had become acquainted with Rob Johnson,
the street scout who has been linked to NCAA violations that helped put Syracuse
and Texas A&M on probation. The modus operandi of Johnson and other street
agents, or runners, is to woo kids, typically with gifts, cash or favors. The
funds might come from the booster of a school who wants the kid to go there, or
from an agent seeking a big payback when the kid turns pro.

   A young man such as Mark Blount -- disconnected from family and any
consistent parental influence -- is the perfect sort of prey.

   "These guys out there are getting to kids earlier and earlier,'' said Bob
Minnix, the NCAA's director of enforcement. "The agent (issue) is a real
problem for us.''

   Smith said he saw Johnson at some Oak Hill games. The coach's suspicions
were heightened even more when he saw Blount wearing a new full-length leather
coat. Smith confronted Blount. He said Blount at first denied being involved
with Johnson, but later admitted he was.

   Though Smith was reluctant to discuss any details of Blount's two seasons
at Oak Hill, the coach acknowledged he did not want Johnson around and told
Blount so. Smith was also troubled by other developments: three positive drug
tests (for marijuana) and an incident in which Blount and a classmate were
allegedly linked to the theft of some cash from a student's room.

   Minnix, of the NCAA, flew to Oak Hill and met with Blount. Minnix declined
to discuss the specifics of the meeting, but a school official said the essence
of it was that Blount would be jeopardizing his college eligibility if he
continued to consort with Johnson or any other runner.

   When Smith became convinced Blount was not heeding the message, the coach
sent him on his way. This was last spring, the end of Blount's junior year.

   Late last summer, Blount and Sanginiti took an apartment in New Rochelle,
and Blount enrolled at New Rochelle High School, hoping to play for Coach Nat
Harris. Section 1, which presides over Westchester scholastic sports, ruled
him ineligible amid questions about his residency, said Section 1 president John
Whearty. Blount then transferred to Dobbs Ferry, and in early December was
cleared to play there by Section 1.

   Two weeks ago, Blount again was on the verge of trouble.

   Norman Miller, 34, of Yonkers, has been arraigned on charges of menacing
and unlawful imprisonment after allegedly pointing a gun at Blount and Sanginiti.

   Miller has pleaded not guilty.

   The alleged incident occurred in Hastings-on-Hudson, a village just south
of Dobbs Ferry. According to Lt.  Vincent Schiavone of the Hastings police,
Miller apparently had gone to Dobbs Ferry to collect money he claimed Sanginiti
owed him. In a statement he made to police, Blount said he and Sanginiti were
driving Miller back to Yonkers when Miller pulled out a .32 automatic.

   Where Mark Blount goes from here is unclear. Last fall, he committed to
Massachusetts, a pledge that a school spokesman said UMass and Blount
mutually retracted after published reports of the program's academic woes.
Blount is close to getting the 700 score on the SAT that would make him eligible
to play collegiately next fall. Syracuse, Texas and Louisville are among the
schools vying for him.

   "I think Mark has the seeds to be the kind of person he can be,'' said
Harris, the New Rochelle coach. "What can make all the things in the past
somewhat passe is him landing in a college program where he can improve on
his game, and with a coach who stands for no nonsense. I think that's what Mark
needs to grow up.''

Garnett is still making the rounds. When last seen, he had pretty much
written off No Carolina and was headed to a prep all stars game in
Louisville. Everyone's expecting both Denny Crum from Louisville and Rick
Pitino of Kentucky to make their pitches.

Remember, that this is just one man's Top 50. There are some lists that
show Top 100. In any case, there's been a lot of signings by UMass and
many others that aren't reflected here.

I'll let UMass fans update what they've done, cause mainly I don't know.

14.1478Garnett and morePOBOX::WIERSBECKFri Apr 14 1995 19:5031
    I had the chance to see both Garnett and Mercer play in person last
    January.  There's a fairly new HS event called  "Hoops in the Loop" 
    played at DePaul each year on MLK's birthday.  There were seven games
    with teams from all over the US including Mouth of Wilson, VA, St.
    Louis, Milwaukee King (top team in WI) Toledo (which was #4 in the
    country at the time, Farragut, (Garnett's team) Joliet (with ND recruit
    Gary Bell) Chicago's King and other local schools.
    
    Garnett is quite awesome and had an outstanding game against another
    local school.  He was unstoppable.  He's also an excellent passer, shot
    blocker and can handle the ball.  I've been following his story since
    he's local and it seems he's unsure of his future at the moment.  He
    has listed Michigan, Arkansas, NC and SC as the schools he's interested
    in, but he's also having some difficulty obtaining the required SAT
    score to be eligible for his freshman year.  He's being told if he went
    pro that he'd be somewhere middle to late first round.  Many are
    advising against that, though.  There's a printed letter in today's
    Sun-Times from Bill Willoughby from three years ago talking about agents 
    and money problems he's faced in going directly from HS to the pros. 
    
    Mercer had an off game, shooting something like 5-19 and didn't
    impress.  In fact in half or more of the ratings services I've seen,
    they've listed Garnett ahead of him as #1.  He must be a great player
    though.  
    
    Bell will definately help out ND.  He's not flashy or big (6'5") but
    gets good position inside and scores a lot of quiet points.  Next thing
    you know he has 25 points.

I'd take Stackhouse.  He's the one Dean gave the ball to when they needed
a big shot.  And I think his potential scoring ability in the NBA is
much greater than Wallace's.

We've heard plenty of Wallace's emotional immaturity and it's been mentioned
more than a couple of times that he may not be tough enough to play through
injuries.


Joe Smith and Stackhouse *should* go 1-2...and they're both sophomores.
14.1487Stackhouse has better upside potentialTNPUBS::NAZZAROThanks for a great year UMass!Tue May 09 1995 14:238
    First, Wallace is 6-10, not 7-0.  Second, he has shown no ability to
    step up in big games.  Third, his maturity - will it ever come, or will
    he be a baby forever.  Fourth, will he continue to be injury-prone?
    He will be definitely not be a center in the pros, but I also doubt he
    has the intestinal fortitude to battle the likes of Charles Oakley in
    the power forward spot.

Kittles is.  From all I've read, this is one area that both the owners

...and develop a "want the ball" attitude.   Witness NCAA tourney loss.
14.1498The new contract will have a rookie cap for the 1995-96 seasonTNPUBS::NAZZAROThanks for a great year UMass!Wed May 10 1995 14:5013
    If there is a salary cap implemented in the next NBA players contract,
    there is little doubt that it will be in effect for THIS upcoming
    season.  So coming out early to avoid the rookie cap makes no sense,
    and any agent who tells a college player different is misrepresenting
    the facts to his client.
    
    All coming out early will do is hasten the rookie's escaping from the
    salary cap.  For example, pay may be restricted for three years; that
    is, rookies could not get the really big money until the fourth year
    they are in the league.  Coming out early allows you to push your
    timetable to escape the rookie cap by a year.

    Will Rusty LaRue when he's done quarterbacking the football team start
    this year?  He's one of the best clutch shooting 3-pointers I've ever
    seen.

    think.  Decent article on him in ESPNET in the college hoop section.

     Allen Iverson will make that all-american team. Camby won't.
    
     Didn't watch alot of the Dicky V. special last night but just enough
     to catch Tarheels excuse #348 "Too Much Talent". They were talking
     about Kentucky being 10 deep and old Deano was prolixing about having
     too many high caliber players. Naturally Ricky P. said it was nonsense
     and that a coach who knows what he's doing, should be able to keep
     everybody happy and together.

The thing about some of these players is to appreciate 'em while they're
here cause few of the better ones will stick around long.

I've already heard the rumors about Marbury only being at Georgia Tech
for 2 years, max. Iverson looked ready to jump to the pros lasted year.

re: Pitino/Kentucky

Looks like everyone's pick for #1. I caint imagine Pitino whining cause
he's got too much talent.

re: Dean

Carter and Jameison will probably both start. Dean's concern thised year
is not too much talent but too little heighth. After Zwikker, there's a
real drop off. Of course without Zwikker they'd probably be a better
although smaller team.

I guess they're assuming that he *CAN* stay in school for 2 years.

Marbury had a very convoluded time mustering the necessary prerequisites
to even get into college.

One thing that seems a lock is that he won't stay his full term.

kick both their butts?

Geez, I don't know what's wrong with you guys!!!!  :-)
14.1525CNTROL::CHILDSWashing MachineWed Nov 15 1995 18:439
    
    hey I like Camby as much as the next guy with the noted exception of
    Billte. I just don't see the consistency and big time scoring in his
    game that it'll take to make 1 st team AA. Maybe 2nd or 3 rd but not
    1 st. If Iverson realizes he has teammates and uses them and makes wise
    decision then he should make it cause he has the all-around game and
    plays for a team that with the necessary prestige to get him the votes.

14.1526Roland wants the 19th repetition of umass-okla stAKOCOA::BREENWed Nov 15 1995 18:5010
    Having fun Roland?  Why don't you go compute some batting averages to 4
    places while Mikey and I have a serious baskets discussion
    
    Georgetown has prestige but not exposure - those big network
    intersectional games have that.  Also, voters, even ap like to think
    they're sophisticated so they take what the analysts say and go that
    way.  Analysts will go with past performance and play of teams.
    
    So if UMass is in top 10, Camby makes first team.  Why don't you shoot
    for the spot held by Minor.
14.1527SNAX::ERICKSONCan the Coach...Wed Nov 15 1995 18:587
    
    	Interesting to see 3 Big East teams in the top 5. Everyone
    who is saying that Marcus Camby won't be a 1st team AA. Is
    assuming that he will play like last year. Does anybody think
    that Camby will be better this year?

14.1528CNTROL::CHILDSWashing MachineWed Nov 15 1995 18:5911
    
    If it hasn't run out the Big East has an every weekend game package with
    CBS. You know where Packer is always crying cause the contract isn't
    with the ACC. So national coverage isn't a problem cause if there isn't
    a marquee matchup in the Big East that week they're going to cover 
    Georgetown vs. Virgina Tech before they show Pitt vs. BC. I'd love
    nothing better than for him to take Minor's spot and leave Camby's
    alone.

14.1529CNTROL::CHILDSWashing MachineWed Nov 15 1995 19:037
    
    I seem to be the only one saying it Ron. I've stated a couple of reason
    why but probably the biggest is that he doesn't have the PG to get him
    the ball. Also I think his size hurts him establishing post posistion
    necessary for consistent offense. Like I just said I hope I'm wrong.

This can work for him, and against him (note last year's NCAA game vs.

14.1533Camby Should be an All AmericanGLRMAI::WILKESWed Nov 29 1995 15:482
    Camby certainly played like an All-American last night against

14.1534Good gameCSLALL::BRULEcountry in need of a leaderTue Jan 02 1996 19:078
    I got a chance while in Vegas to go to the UNLV-Michigan game that UNLV
    won in a huge upset. The Thomas & Mack center is great and very easy to
    get to. Michigan should have killed UNLV but they must have spent the
    previous night on the strip becuz they were flat and UNLV was sky high.
    UNLV is small. They are now 2-6. Michigan has talent but they are
    young.

in the not so useful department ...

If'n anyone else needs any further evidence that Jeff Sagarin and his
system has no basis in reality, his ratings for the conference show the
ACC as the top rated conference, ahead of the Big East and the Big 10.

Sorry, but this is a down year for the ACC and there's no way they're the
bestest in the land. You can argue who is but it aint the ACC.

Even ACK would admit it, although he'd have a_ulterior motive...

    I didn't see any discussion on the St. Joe/Arizona non-game on
    Saturday.
    
    For those who don't know, St. Joes and Arizona had a contract to play a
    nationally televised (ESPN2) game last Saturday at a location (the
    Palestra) and date that was picked by Arizona. A week ago tonight,
    without discussing it with the St. Joe coach or Athletic Director, and
    based on some weather projection, Arizona cancelled the game. They also
    sent out a press release on Thursday evening that said the cancellation
    was a joint decision between St. Joe's and Arizona. The newspapers in
    Arizona (I'm told) carried the story in Friday's newspapers.
    
    We in the Philadelphia area heard about the cancellation on Friday
    afternoon. The St. Joe's AD offered to move the game to Sunday, after
    talking to ESPN and Palestra officials, but Arizona said it was too
    dangerous to travel to the east. The kicker is that the flight on which
    the Arizona team was scheduled to travel arrived in Philadelphia 15
    minutes late on Friday afternoon. At game time on Saturday, it was
    over 40 degrees and bright sunshine. I think whatever weather problems
    existed got alot worse when Lute and his boys saw St. Joe's take UMASS
    to OT on Wednesday night. 
    
    Lute Olson was quoted as saying that the game with St. Joe's was
    "insignificant" and that "cancelling the game was no big deal".

Right now, that would be a_interesting game.

Harrington would dominate Zwikker. Hail, Chuch Nevitt woulda dominated
ol' Serge. Hoyas fans would hope that Dean stays with this lame-oh
instead of moving Atawn Jamison to the middle.

There's no one on this Heels team that can hang with Iverson. McInnis
would make a_attempt but that's about it.

The best shooter of the bunch is Calibria. Vince Carter is approximately
unstoppable at times but generally is fading into obscurity under Dean.

Take two rosaries and a novena and remember to drink a lot of fluids...

There have always been 2 ways to beat them Heels. A great player or a
fast team. Iverson may be both.

With Zwikker in the post, Dean has exceeded his own standards for time
spent covering the same ground.

14.1554The Vince Carter storyTNPUBS::NAZZAROMarcus is back!Tue Jan 30 1996 16:1014
    Vince Carter is a classic example of a guy in the wrong program who
    will do much better once he escapes the clutches of the Rev. Smif.
    Carter was a consensus first team All-American who was supposed to fill
    the void left by the departure of Jerry Stackhouse.  But rather than
    let Carter develop on his own pace, the Rev. has compressed his game to
    fit into the Heels' "system" and Carter has had trouble adapting.
    
    I would not be surprised to see him transfer after this season, except
    that the Rev. doesn't let anybody transfer that he still wants.  So his
    game will suffer for two more years until he turns pro after his junior
    season.  He'll be a mid-to-low first round draft pick, but will go on
    to have a long and successful NBA career.

 If ever there was a year that these two have to meet this is the year!
 UMass/UConn we got to have it!!!

 With their loss over the weekend to NCS and yesterday to Marland, UNC should
 move up to 5th in the polls.......

 Somebody get Calibria a pacifer what a whinner.  Wasn't it great that the last
 UNC gaffe happened right in front of Dean. Speaking of Dean, if he was this
 great coach that some would have us believe why isn't he able to win more
 with all the second tier MCDonald All-Americians he has???????

 Looks like Indiana is quietly turning into a good team. Kudos to Bob for
 the improvement in his team from the start of the season until now. Brian
 Evans just might 1 st team All-Americian if he can get some media attention.

 Speaking of Evans do you think he'll make it at the next level or will he be
 just another great college ballplayer who over-achieved under Bob? Ironic how
 many great college players that never made in the pros that Bob has coach
 compared to the number of pro players that did nothing in college while
 playing for Dean.

I haven't seen much of Evans this year except for one game and a few
highlights.  The guy literally does *everything*.  But I can't figure out 
whether he stands out because of talent, or because of superior fundamentals
at a level where most players don't have the talent to overcome a lack of
fundamentals.  My guess is he'll be a solid role player in the pros.

Unfortunately, even if he *is* good enough to star in the pros, he probably
won't get a chance.  You see, he just goes out there and gets the job done.
To play FantasticBall(tm), you have to try and jam every basket, pose for the
crowd after the basket while your opponent goes downcourt, talk trash to your
opponent, give crap to the referee, and in general, act like a reptile.
Because, after all, you're doing it for the kids out there.

Oh, and by the way:

 You mean like Barkley last night against the Bulls? For those that missed it
 the Suns won, Sir Charles did have a great game but when victory was finally
 secure the posing and wooping by Chuckles would have had one belive they just
 won the championship. KJ went out hurt again in a big game.

The guy from Iowa cheap shots a couple of guys from Penn State and gets a
three game pass.

Barkley cheap shots a couple of Bulls and gets the game ball. Go figger.

14.1568Gougetown-Nova reviewTNPUBS::NAZZAROMarcus is back!Wed Feb 07 1996 16:5112
    Kinda disappointing Gougetown-Nova game the other night - only one
    skirmish, and Jason Lawson was smart enough to back off, lessun he git
    tossed for the rest o' the season, since he already has one fighting
    charge under his belt.  Ol' Bubicar (sp?) Aw made a big-time run at
    Lawson, having a major hissy fit 'cuz Lawson touched his shoulder.
    That's all it took.  Aw had to be restrained by 3-4 guys while Lawson
    just backed away.  
    
    As usual, Iverson took about 500 shots, actually made some of them, and
    passed the ball twice.

Nazz, in your bracket you have a Wake/Princeton first-round game.  That would
be too excellent...

I think SU will be a #4 seed and not a #5 - I'd also move G'town up a notch,
too.  (I think both will do well in the Big East tournament.)  By the time
the tournament comes around, Penn St. will have tumbled further.

Glad to see you think Indiana is in.  I think they should get a bid as long
as Bob Knight is their coach, regardless of record... :-)

Has Iona ever been to the NCAAs?  Did they go when Jimmy V coached them
(with Jeff Ruland as the star)?

Remember when ESPN used to cover the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament,
and they showed *everything*.  I used to take one, and sometimes two, of the
days off and just hoop out...  You got to see all the "hyphen" schools play...

    Not with the remaining soft schedule.  Penn St should finish 2nd in 
    the Big-10, probably at 13-5, 22-5 (12-6, 21-6 at worst). 
    
> Glad to see you think Indiana is in.  I think they should get a bid as long

    Indiana's 8-5 and third in the Big-10, pretty much a no-brainer unless
    they fall apart, regardless of Knight...

14.1578SNAX::ERICKSONCan the Coach...Wed Feb 21 1996 19:467
    
    	Uconn might drop down to a #2 with this weeks loss, giving
    Cincinnatti the other #1 seed. Remember add 1 loss to every BE
    school, except the tournament winner. So Georetown, SU, BC, and
    Villanova are right where they will end up in the bracket.

Main, Nazz has 5, count 'em, five (5) ACC teams there. The dark horse of
the bunch has to be Duke which, IMHO, needs a couple of wins in the
conference tourney.

Iona was in the big dance with Jimmy V at the helm and Ruland in the
middle, carrying the team.

"for grins" is right.  I'd love to hear what part of his formula gives
BC such high grades.  They haven't beaten a ranked team all year and
have HOME losses to sub-.500 teams PC and W Vir.

Of course UMass wasn't the onliest big name to fall...

Duke beats UCLA which makes Nazz smart cuase he picked 'em to be in the
show.

Temple beats Va Tech, holding 'em to 41 points, total.

Florida St beats No Carolina at the Dean Dome.

Wake loses to Virginia and fails to hit 50.

Cincinnati lost to Louisville who lost to Memphis.

14.1585Davidson finishes undefeated in conferenceHBAHBA::HAASExtra low prices and hepatitis too!~Tue Feb 27 1996 15:1116
In some local news, Davidson held off Furman lasted night to win 88-79 in
OT. That completed a_undefeated Southern Conference season for the Cats
at 14-0, 23-3 overall.

Davidson was down most of the game including 10 points midway through the
seconded half.

By consensus, most of the credit is going to the coach, Bob McKillop who
came in a couple of years ago and took a laugher to the top of the
conference.

I guess you could make the case that 23-3 should put them in the show but
the caliber of teams in the Southern Conference prolly means that
Davidson still needs to win the tourney for a berth.

    re: 1585
    
    Who were Davidson's three losses against?
    
    Do they have any significant wins outside their conference?
    
    I read they barely beat Div. 3 Williams at home just before Christmas.
    If that is any indication they will need to win the Southern Conference
    Tourney to get a NCAA bid.

The onliest one I can think of is the Pack.

They do that UMass thing and let the other guys play close.

    UMass showed why they are among the elite in the country, beating
    Louisville in a very hostile atmosphere, in front of over 20,000
    screaming home fans.  Minutemen won the game with defense and
    rebounding, holding the #2 FG% team in the country to 35%, and
    outrebounding them by 14.  Great job of defense by the guards and by
    Dingle on the boards.  Camby had a very strong game, and showed Samaki
    Walker that he is still the #1 contender for player of the year.

So far, we're having some fun in these low level tourneys.

Locally, the Western Carolina Catamounts upset Davidson to win the
Southern Conference. Davidson finishes at 25-4 but certainly the level of
competition they faced will hurt them.

Wisconsin-Green Bay lost to Detroit formerly Mercy but are still ranked
in the Top 25 so they'll prolly go to the dance, too.

Central Florida beat Mercer to qualify, making them a rare team to make
it to the tourney with a losing record, 11-18, including 3 wins in their
tourney.

Purdue clinched the Big T1E1N title.

  Yup, Davidson is NIT bound.

  The Phoenix will get in, but this will drop their seeding from the 6-8
  seedings area to a 10 or 11 seed.  Detroit meets Northern Illinois for the
  NCAA bid.

> Central Florida beat Mercer to qualify, making them a rare team to make

  Central Florida wins three in a row for the first time all season, in the
  TAAC tourney to earn an NCAA bid, becoming just the 10th team to get into
  the NCAAs with a losing record.

> Purdue clinched the Big T1E1N title.

  South Carolina State, North Carolina-Greensboro, and Austin Peay State also
  clinched NCAA bids.  Princeton meets Penn Tuesday night and can win the Ivy
  title with a victory.  Other conference tourney finals that are set:

  CAA: Virginia Commonwealth vs North Carolina-Wilmington
  MAAC:	Fairfield vs Canisius
  MVC: Bradley vs Tulsa
  NAC: Drexel vs Boston University
  Patriot: Holy Cross at Colgate
  Sun Belt: New Orleans vs Arkansas-Little Rock
  WCC: Gonzaga vs Portland

  Santa Clara lost its tourney opener to last place Pepperdine, on its own home
  court.  Still, the Broncos also figure to get a no. 11 or 12 seed, like the
  UWGB Phoenix.  Losses like these knock out the lowest bubble teams.

   >> -< Impressive win for UMass >-

      Impressive? They barely escaped with their lives and their
      no. 2 ranking after a shoddily played and officiated game. 
      They had 17 turnovers, Camby shot under 50% and no one else
      really stepped up offensively. The only thing that kept this 
      from being a loss was the rebounding and the defensive play, 
      especially that of Camby and Padilla. That may have been enough 
      against a team with the limtited offense of a Louisville but 
      that won't get them a national title or perhaps even a win 
      over GW in the A-10 tourney. UMass still hasn't righted the 
      ship.
    
     
14.1600Tremendous defensive effort against a top opponentTNPUBS::NAZZAROWell, 37-1 ain't so bad!Mon Mar 04 1996 18:3414
    Au contraire.  This was a game against the 20th ranked team in the
    nation, a team from arguably the strongest conference in the country
    that had won 7 of its last 8 games.  It was senior's day at Louisville,
    and there was a raucous sellout crowd of over 20,000. 
    
    The defense of UMass totally dominated the Louisville offense.  UMass
    won this game the same way it defeated Wake Forest, Maryland, Georgia
    Tech, and Memphis - with intense man to man defense and an unrelenting
    attack on the offense boards.  It ain't pretty, but it's how you win
    big games in tournament time against quality opponents.
    
    Sheesh, you'd think this win was against Rutgers or something!  ;-)

14.1601USCTR1::GARBARINOMon Mar 04 1996 19:4710
I think we'll have to wait until the tournament to see just how good
Louisville really is.  This is the same team BC whooped by 20 or more...
and now that Louisville is again ranked, it's the ONLY BC win over a
ranked team all year.

A UMass "W" was expected.  Louisville doesn't have the frontline to
contend with a Camby.  It's a good win, but I don't know if it says
anything about where they'll go in the tournament.

Now had it been AT CINCINNATI, then we could talk....

	Portland, WCC champ by beating regular season co-champ Gonzaga; and
	Virginia Commonwealth, CAA regular season and tourney winner over UNCW.

	Tonight:

	Detroit vs Northern Illinois for the MW Collegiate championship; and,
	Valparaiso vs Western Illinois for the Mid Continent title.  These two
	  teams are both shooting for their first NCAA Division I berth.
	  Valparaiso beat #7 seed Eastern Illinois last night, while WIU beat
	  Saw's team, CCSU, by a 68-66 score to make the tourney title game.

      Louisville had not won 7 of its last 8. They were coming off losses
      to Memphis and Marquette. Weat was nursing a busted paw and they're
      still trying to work Samaki Walker back into the mix. It's a win for
      UMass but hardly impressive because Lousiville after all was a team 
      that BC beat like they stole something. Be afraid. Be very afraid for 
      UMass' title hopes because if they continue to put up these types of 
      subpar offensive efforts in the tourney they'll be home before BC will.
      
    
14.1607GLRMAI::WILKESTue Mar 05 1996 12:203
    Since UMass will have a walkover in the first round it is a real
    stretch to think UMass will be eliminated before BC who could very well
    lose their first round their game.
14.1608AKOCOA::BREENYou never can tellTue Mar 05 1996 13:003
    The UMass guards are not making the outside shots and this situation is
    about three weeks old.  Camby makes most of his points from 12' and is
    thus vulnerable to cold streaks.

I did a mini stint at Xavier or as they say Xavier-OH. It wasn't clear
if'n I quit or got fired. My sister went to Wheeling and then to Fordham
and my brother went to Fordham after almost signing up with them Jesuits.

MrT often espoused a Jesuit conspiracy.

Not too surprising.  If the reality of religious life doesn't scare you

   >> The UMass guards are not making the outside shots 

      Padilla is having an especially hard time. Quasimodo didn't
      clang as loudly as Edgar has lately. Besides the fact that he's 
      much quicker, can score off the dribble and and is ten times the
      defensive player the big advantage of Padilla over his predecessor 
      Derek Kellogg was he'd take and make the J. Not lately. He isn't
      just missing his shots, sometimes he's not even in the same area
      code as the hoop. And that's all part of my point about the offen-
      sive funk of the Minutemen. In the "impressive win" over Louisville
      UMass' backcourt went 3 for 8 for a total of 10 points. That ain't
      gonna get it done.

 Congrats.

 They have a much better baseball than basketball program, by the way.
 Several of their players have been big league caliber, and they nearly made
 the Division I CWS in 1989.  You may already know that, but maybe you didn't
 know the LeMoyne baseball teams owns the biggest comeback in NCAA Div.I
 baseball postseason history, rallying to beat Penn after trailing 14-0.

 When did you graduate ?

Yes, I did know that.  I believe the game spanned two days.  I think they
beat the #1 seed in that Regional (Arizona ?), too.  There's no comparing
their basketball program to their baseball program.  Enrollment is barely
over 2,000 and yet they're a major player in Div 1 baseball.  The basketball
program has gone between Div 2 and 3 a couple of times.  It feeds off the
local catholic high schools for talent (for the most part).


> When did you graduate ?

1979.  As good as they were, hardly anyone went to the baseball games...
too busy studying, ya know...  But we all went to the hoop games.

I was a senior the year Tom Browning and Jim Deshaises were freshmen.
Years later, legendary coach Dick Rockwell was quoted as saying, "I watch
Browning on TV and I can't help but think that he had more trouble with
St. Lawrence than he does with St. Louis (Cardinals)".  Rockwell just
fell into Browning as he saw him pitch against Deshaises.  He was heavily
recruiting Deshaises and picked up the unknown Browning along the way.
14.1619from an interview with Roy FirestoneUSCTR1::GARBARINOTue Mar 05 1996 14:2613
Rick Pitino on what it takes to win the NCAA championship:

	"It takes consistent recruiting over a period of time.  The one
	 thing I come away with four years in the NBA, is if I want to be
	 an outstanding coach, I have to get outstanding players.  That's
	 what I learned."

I guess he and Knight don't compare notes often.  I think he's way off
base.  I can't see how winning with great players makes you a better
coach than the same achievement with lesser players.  I think his answer
hints at why I don't believe he'll ever win the big one.  He sees winning
as a by-product of having great players, instead of coaching players
to become winners.

I like the idea of Penn playing Princeton again. This seems like the
bestest way to settle things, let 'em play one more.

New Orleans won at the buzzer at UALR. Amazingly, one of the Privateers
took it around, through and over most of the Little Rocks team to dispy
doo it in the hoop just as time expired. It's good to see Wimp back in
the game, though.

      Princeton and Pete Carrill immediately sprung to mind when 
     I read Pitino's banal quote about it taking outstanding players
     to make an outstanding coach. Princeton ball can be as boring
     as a Friday night in New Hampshire but given the athletes that
     they have to work with, no one goes further with less. No one.
     I always thought Bum Phillips had the best definition of what 
     a great coach is. Bum said, 'He'll take his 'un and beat your
     'un. And then he'll take your 'un and beat his 'un." That fits
     Carrill.

RE: .1434

Yup, that was a mega-typo...

RE: .1435

I'd lump Eddie Sutton in that category, too, except Eddie probably *paid*
"his 'un".

Carrill teams give more talented teams *fits*.  They never panic, and work
the ball around until they get a good shot.  Because of this, and because
their possessions take a long time, they rarely fall behind by a lot.  So
they're hanging around, hanging around, and suddenly, the more talented team
runs into a cold streak, and there's the Tigers staring them in the face...

      and there's this good looking ball player guys were calling 'Murph'
      that was playing.
    
      It turned out that a few of the players are Colgate alums and 
      the athletic director for Colgate was in the area to watch his
      team.  The athletic director is Mark Murphy, former Colgate alum
      and former all pro defensive back for the Washington Redskins.

Miss. St. beating Kentucky may have been just what Kentucky *needed* - it
didn't hurt them in the seeding and gave them a nice kick in the pants.

And Cincinnati almost went down as well.

As an SU fan - I'm glad to see them at #4 in the bracket that Purdue is #1 in.
If they win their first two games, I already know that UMass and UConn can wax
them - Purdue is a hell of a team (with emphasis on the "team"), but at least
I don't *know* they'll beat SU...

I lost track if it was this note or another one where Nazz was crying about
the quality of UMass' #1 seed.  Unbelievable...

UMass/Kentucky would/will be a great semifinal.  Obviously, this is no stretch,
but I think the winner will come from UConn/UMass/Kentucky.

Even more certain is the fact that North Carolina and/or Arizona will
underachieve.

And I think Princeton is going to give Pete Carrill a nice retirement
gift...

Agree on Arizona. But with No Carolina, they'll be the dog if'n they win
anything which is a whole different beast with them.

As favorites, none choke better. As a dog, they've been known to beat
some people.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with Roy Williams ?  I thought this
Kansas team could win it all this year.  Now I don't know if they'll
get out of the 2nd round.

He's a Dean Smith protege.  What else do you need to know?
14.1661Don't want to mess up the other note with this jabberAKOCOA::BREENYou never can tellMon Mar 11 1996 19:377
    I get a humongous kick out of Nazz's eight points contest picks.  He
    doesn't have one Big East guy out there.  Granted the double points are
    tempting but I would have had four BE's if I could have.
    
    I couldn't even fit Allen in there.  But Danya Abrams is going to win
    the whole thing with his four 20 point games (yes boys and girls, BC is
    going to knock off Conn. - Shaughnessy had the wrong tournement).

14.1687... and Dick Vitale will be more annoying than everWONDER::REILLYSean / Alpha Servers DTN:223-4375Wed Mar 13 1996 19:2432
    
    I'll tell ya, I'll take the trip to SU or Providence anyday over
    the one we had to Long Island 2 years ago...  Nassau Colliseum is
    the worst (although, the Fleet Center's got it in '99 I think,
    and that's close NC in the worst-of category).  
    
    Here's my thoughts:
    
      o I said it back when they lost to UMass, and I'm sticking
        by it - BC will outdistance UMass in the Tourney
    
      o My FF = UConn, SU, Villanova, and Georgetown.  G'town
        and Villanova is with my head, SU is with my heart, and
        UConn is just to make it a complete set (but I actually
        worry about them most - Colgate will not get whupped by
        them).
    
      o Most of the ACC will exit early.
    
      o There will be less upsets (difference between seeds greater
        than 4) than usual this year.
    
      o Watch out for Princeton
    
    Trivia:
    
      Central Florida will have 504 more people than their entire
      attendance for the year watching them play UMass tomorrow.

	Never been to the Dome for BC/Syracuse *hoops* ... been there
	two of the last six(?) years for the first and second rounds
	of the NCAA tourney ... don't really care for the place that much
	for basketball, just doesn't have the right "atmosphere" ...

	The best first/second round games I have been to were in Hartford
	for the UConn games ... the electricity in the place was fantastic ...

	Worcester for the UMass games was a close second ...

    will have to do a little work in computing the total number of wins per
    team and simply posting that in the column marked.  I will compute the total

Since the team tourney contests are closed, some of you might wanna know
that Van Horn won't be playing for Utah, at least for the opening game.

He has some kinda viral flu/infection.

And did anyone notice that Davidson proved the NCAA committee right in
not inviting them. They lost lasted night at So Carolina, 100-73. Former
Tar Heel, Larry Davis tossed in a nifty 33, including shooting 12-13 from
the field.

Vinny, as I stated after returning from the SU-Gtown game at the Carrier
Dome in February, there couldn't be any more electricity in that building.
The Dome's atmosphere can be less than electric if there isn't a big-time
rival in the building.  It's just so big !   Comparing it to the Centrum
is like comparing the Rose Bowl to your town's HS field.  It can't be done.

SU crowds also have more of an adult mix, as it's the only game in town
for a very large geographic area.  If every SU student attended a game
they'd only half-fill the place.  Adults don't get crazy nearly as much
as college kids.

If it's loud, raucous noise you're looking for, you won't get it every
time in the Carrier Dome.  But it provides so much more when you take
in the complete package (concessions, entertainment).

WHAT a game.  You all know I'm not a great fan of basketball, but this game
kept my attention riveted and I was fighting for the underdog all the way.

Great game by Princeton.

This kind of game, to me, is what makes this tournament special.  It was nice
that it had a great human interest angle too.

     Princeton won 43-41. They played a near perfect game considering 
    they're slow, unathletic and they don't shoot all that well. They
    *do* play a textbook perfect zone defense and they don't turn the
    ball over and they make some of the sweetest backdoor cuts you'll
    ever see. You knew UCLA was in real trouble when the score was some-
    thing like 19-18 at halftime. Princeton just kept hanging around
    and hanging around and took it in the final minute.

 Very similar to the Purdue-Western Carolina game that we saw in this area.
 Game tied with less than 2 minutes to go.  WCU guy misses two free throws
 that could have put them ahead, but the Catamounts with two shots in last 5
 seconds that could have tied or won the game for them, but they mis-fired.
 Great game by the #16 seed.

Tommy,

I thought it was a very telling stat that they gave when they said that
Princeton led the country in defense, giving up only 51 per game.

Then they said that UCLA was averaging 79 a game....

	Having watched a good portion of the UK-SJSU game at lunch,
	and having seen a little bit of the KU-MSU SEC championship,
	it appears that both teams have come up with a strategy that can
	beat the wildcats - SJSU just didn't have enough depth to keep
	it up.

	I doubt if Kentucky beats either UMass of Georgetown in the final
	four if one of those matchups were two occur.

We all knew Carril was going to go to his bread-and-butter backdoor
offense to win this thing.  UCLA had proven all game that they couldn't
defend it man-to-man.  Why not go 2-3 zone, eliminate backdoors cuts
and dare 'em to beat them with an outside shot ???

    Harrick went man after Johnson for Princeton hit a couple of
    threes. It wasn't the man defense that killed, it was UCLA
    not making the switches and no one on the floor being savvy 
    enough to recognize what the Tigers were doing. Every time they 
    initially dumped it down low, they never took the shot but looked 
    for the cutter. On the shot that won the game, O'Bannon just 
    completely lost his man. And how about Toby Bailey? In last
    years tourney he looked like a budding superstar but last
    night he had a pocket full of kryptonite. He launched a slew
    of bad shots and missed a chance to tie it at the end. With
    Ed O'Bannon, Zidek and Edney all gone UCLA had no floor leader-
    ship and it showed last night. That and Carril pulled Harrick's 
    underwear over his head.

    Princeton (or Harvard at hockey) would take advantage of every single

I still would have made them beat me with a jumpshot from outside.
When the pressure's on, the farther the ball has to travel, the
better (for the defense).

    Unless it's a close game (i think its still a double figure game for
    SC) I don't know if I wanna watch.  But its all a FIX, a MASSIVE
    conspiracy.  If it was a best of THREE WE all know what the REAL
    outcome would be! (Grabs paper bag, breathes, calms down)

    "Bad Refereeing"!?  I suppose you're referring to Mass-Stanford?  I'd
    say it was simply bad with no final advantage either way but I wouldn't
    mention that around Stanford fans who must think they got jobbed. 
    There was a bad no call in the final seconds with Stanford down four
    where they should have had three free throws.
    
    I could only listen to Sarandis on the BC game where it sounded like BC
    had their problems.  Sarandis pointedly got off the ref's back when
    Tech got so hot that it probably didn't matter.
    
    I'd say that referring pretty much decided most of the tournement but
    that's always the case.  The really good teams have to overcome it and
    what comes your way one night (say BC vs Indiana) comes back at you two
    nights later.  I shouldn't say "decided"; rather, big factor.
    
    One thing to watch for is the numbers.  If the advantage is going one
    way and enough of a differential is established you'll sometimes see a
    late adjustment in the calls so the final stats will show a more equal
    balance.

Not for this basher!~

But I'm here in downtown faux Tar Heel fan city. There's plenty of people
to harass.

I'll give ACK one thing though: he actually followed the team which puts
him up on most of 'em. I was watching the Texas Tech game and nexted to a
table full o' faux fans. They did the usual whining about the calls and
the like. At one point, Shammon Williams made a pretty good shot and me
and a buddy yelled out, "Shammon!~". The whole table full of 'em looked
our way like we were speaking a foreign language. They didn't know who we
were talking about.

Later they were joined by a Villanova fan. At the end of the afternoon I
asked 'em who they liked in the 5 o'clock games so I'd know who not to
bet on.

  >> Did anyone happen to notice that Miss St shutdown Princeton

     It was not the zone that did Princeton in, it was a lack
     of talent. Unlike the UCLA game Princeton couldn't hit the 
     broad side of a barn against MSU. There had to be some kind 
     of NCAA record for air balls set by the Tigers in that one. 
     MSU also wasn't as bothered by Princeton's zone as UCLA was.
     The two factors combined spelled doom for Pete Carril and
     his boys.

    re: -1
    
      I agree.  The announcers picked up on this.  The zone was
      Miss. State's direct response to their realization that 
      Princeton was cold.  Zone's clog the inside and dare a team
      to shoot from the perimeter.  If you have the talent level
      of a Princeton, are not shooting well from the outside, and
      are facing a zone designed to clog the inside and dare the
      perimeter shot, well, kiss it goodbye.

    Well I actually watched the game.  There was one simple difference:
    Eric Dampier.  State simply went to him in the middle every time it
    needed a point.  Amazing how Princeton actually stayed in it deep into
    the second half.  Mississippi State didn't take the choke.

>    Amazing how Princeton actually stayed in it deep into

You don't explode on a team that holds the ball 30-35 seconds on each
possession.  Their hanging around 10-15 points behind wasn't an indication
that they were in that game.


re:  Miss St's zone

"clog the middle"

Exactly !  No open lanes for backdoor cuts.  The "motion offense" becomes
less/not effective.  Princeton's offense was reduced to a perimeter attack.
That's not Carril's strategy.
14.1777Officiating has been consistently badTNPUBS::NAZZAROWell, 37-1 ain't so bad!Tue Mar 19 1996 12:3816
    Actually, I was talking about the BC game and the New Mexico game.  If
    the refs allow Gougetown to pummel opponents in the future like they
    did to the Lobos, Thompson's thugs could win it all.  And on the
    opposite end, they took New Mexico's best player, Kenny Thomas, out of
    the game with three of the weakest touch fouls I've seen.  Compared to
    what professional thug Jahidi WHite gets away with, Thomas was in another
    state when he got called for those fouls.  And BC did not get a call in
    the first half vs. Georgia Tech, not that it mattered.  
    
    And how about the foul that took ALexander Koul out of the game vs
    Iowa.  Not only was it a terrible call, it directly affected the
    outcome of the game.  GW was up double digits when he fouled out, then
    they proceded to lose the game.  Of course, shooting less and 50% from
    the line in the 2nd half didn't help them.

As much as I liked GW (and Koul), foul 5 was legit...his arms were all over
the rebounder. It was a dumb play on Koul's part, especially with four fouls
on him already. Foul 4, however, was a horrible call.  Koul had _well_ estab-
lished position, took a charge without extending his arms, and _still_ got 
called.

actually, I believe it was 7, 8, or 9 at that point.

This seems about right. No Carolina showed it's not a Sweet 16, maybe not
a Top 25. Wake and Georgia Tech hold the rest of the league up. 

I'd be ready to concede excellent losses if'n someone will run that
tourney formula to show that the ACC is still the top dog in the 90s.
This makes at least 2 in the final 16 the whole decade.

And I like that the ACC goes head to head with the upstarts, Conference
USA. Georgia Tech played as good a game as all season. Wake won by coming
from behind without Tim Duncan being 100%. I like their chances.

Unfortunately, I also think Cincinnati is playing real good, too. And
Louisville looks like the Cardinals of old.

The BE didn't need to prove this.  Look at the SEC and the new Conference
USA.  Next year we'll have the Big-12.  And isn't there another mega-conference
coming next year too ?  The big power conferences are where the NCAA is
going.  If the A-10 has only 9 schools, they very likely are looking to
add more.

There's a lot of talk about the ACC going to 10 teams. Ever body from Va
Tech to Kentucky has been mentioned with the notable exception of So
Carolina who was in the ACC but bolted under the guidance of Frank
McGuire.

But that's all there is to it, talk. The conference is expected to stay
at 9 teams for a while.

Firsted of all, Frank left No Carolina and then all this happened. Right
there, they had one strike against him. But the bigger thing, aside from
whining about the refs was that ol' Frank wanted the money that he got at
No Carolina and figgered the bestest way to get that was to jump ship and
do his own thing.

He left No Carolina with the legacy of choking - excepted for that time
that Phog Allen put the four-corners on Wilt ;=] - and moved that down
the road to Columbia.

They had some outstanding teams. Current Georgia Tech coach, Bobby
Cremins played for him.

    The A-10 currently has 12 schools not nine. I don't disagree that there
    is a trend towards mega-conferences. ( As a long time Longhorn fan I am
    very excited about the formation of the Big 12 ). Nonetheless, I think
    the current makeup of the Big East with 13 teams is wacky and leads to
    problems with both the regular season scheduling and the post-season
    conference tournament format.
    
    The only reason for going to 13 teams was the eventual hope of getting

    one critical play last night in the Georgetown game.  TT forces a
    timeout in the backcourt with about 1/2 of the 10 seconds gone.  GT
    then inbounds backwards and Page calls another timeout under the
    basket. 
    
    Now instead of trying to get the 10 seconds call, down 5, tt
    immediately fouls, ballgame to GT.
    
    Incredibly stupid strategy by TT.  Funny the whole ballgame was coming
    down to this 10 second call and the two mike mouths are asunaware as
    the tt coach.

    Are you saying that you can reset on a timeout.  In other words, use 9
    seconds call a timeout, another 9 seconds another timeout and then 10
    seconds.  The clock was stopped on timeouts, not deadballs.

    You may recall the Celtics vs Charlotte being eliminated when Rick Fox

    CBS turned last nights games into an ordeal. The last 2:30 minutes of
    the Georgetown-Texas Tech game took around 25:00 minutes to play. CBS
    has no shame when it comes to running six commercials in a row after a
    few seconds of action which had just been preceded by another six
    commercials.

Not to defend CBS, but I think most of the commercials were run during
the many timeouts called in that span.

14.1832GLRMAI::WILKESFri Mar 22 1996 18:2210
    re -.1
    
    Of course the commercials were made during timeouts. The point is the
    timeouts are extended so that CBS can run a full complement of
    commericials with each timeout no matter how many timeouts are called
    in a very short period of game time. These extended breaks kill a lot
    of the excitement and momentum in a game.
    
    On CBS they never hold the camera on the game during a timeout except
    for "20 second" timeouts.

But they even cut to a commercial during a 20-second TO in the closing
seconds of the Kansas-SU game.  You could see Williams put his hands
on his shoulders, yet CBS went to their commercial.  Luckily, they
cut it off and returned in time to rejoin the action.

I'm also one who hopes ESPN (with 2 outlets) gets the tournament back.

    The first post-war tournament had a lot of drama and famous names
    involved, and famous firsts.  One of them was the first dunk by big Bob
    Kurland, 7 feet tall and referred to by Phog Allen as a glandular
    freak.  He played at Stillwater under Hank Iba when they were known as
    Oklahoma A&M.  Kurland and the aggies had won the 1945 championship.
    
    To get there they had to be selected for the eight team tournament
    which included Harvard.  Strange?  Maybe but Catholic U had qualified
    the previous year.  Kansas under (a) Phog played off but Kurland had 28
    to lead A&M and two more wins had the Aggies back in NewYork for the
    final.  Also playing alongside Kurland was World War II purple heart
    Sam Aubrey.  Kurland,btw, when he wasn't college basketball's number 1
    star was janitor at the fieldhouse.
    
    North Carolina under Navy Lieutenant Ben Carnevale and its star Bones
    McKinney and one John Dillon who apparently was no longer seeing the
    lady in red at that StLouis movie theatre.  Kurland without his
    favorite tactic of offensive goaltending (outlawed the previous year)
    dispatched Carolina 43-40.  Ohio State in the first NCAA consolation
    game beat California before 18,479 at the old Madison Sq. Garden.

I heard that tomorrow evening on CBS they are supposed to be airing a made for

I heard an interview with his brother last night on WFAN and he said it was a
good representation -- some of the technical details were telescoped or a
little off (the actor playing Jim V. was left-handed, Jim V. was a righty)
etc. but that given the 93 minutes of film they were allowed for the 2 hour
time slot, he felt it came out really well.

The made-for-TV Great Eight should be good next year:

Quality of matchups will depend on who takes off early for the NBA.  But if

be the weakest.  Is Dampier a senior ?

UMass-Miss St ?  Kentucky-Georgetown ?  Cincinnati-Kansas ?  SU-Wake ?
You have to think that SU won't play G'town (BE), Kentucky or Miss St (Final

that Umass is a better team than Syracuse it doesn't make sense to me that SU
doesn't leapfrog them too. A few things I can't understand are how Purdue can be

worst UCLA (who also failed to win a game) when they obviously play in a tougher
conference, how UCAN't remained in the top 10, or why Eastern Michigan didn't
make the top 25 is beyond me? Also given the lovefeast associated with them it's
surprising that Duke didn't make it 




1. Kentucky (34-2)
Points: 800 (32 first-place votes). Last poll: 2. Looking ahead:
Walter McCarty, Tony Delk and Mark Pope graduate, but talent abounds.
Derek Anderson, Antoine Walker, Anthony Epps and super freshmen
Wayne Turner and Ron Mercer should get more playing time.

 2. Massachusetts (35-2)
Points: 760. Last poll: 1. Looking ahead: If consensus player
of year Marcus Camby leaves, UMass will have a big hole in the
middle. Senior forwards Dana Dingle and Donta Bright must be replaced,
but Tyrone Weeks and Inus Norville can step in. Guards Edgar Padilla
and Carmelo Travieso will return for their senior seasons.

 3. Syracuse (29-9)
Points: 721. Last poll: 14. Looking ahead: The Orangemen will
miss the leadership of forward John Wallace and point guard Lazarus
Sims. Center Otis Hill will be the man next season, but forward
Todd Burgan and guard Jason Cipolla will need to upgrade offensive
production.

 4. Mississippi State (26-8)
Points: 658. Last poll: 20. Looking ahead: Turning pro or not
is the question Erick Dampier and Dontae Jones are wrestling with.
The Bulldogs lose senior guard Darryl Wilson and 6-10 forward
Russell Walters. Point guard Marcus Bullard is back.

 5. Kansas (29-5)
Points: 639. Last poll: 8. Looking ahead: After falling one game
short of the Final Four, the Jayhawks have key components back,
unless point guard Jacque Vaughn opts for the NBA. Guard Jerod
Haase, center Scot Pollard and forwards Raef LaFrentz and Paul
Pierce return.

 6. Cincinnati (28-5)
Points: 610. Last poll: 6. Looking ahead: Conference USA player
of year Danny Fortson heads a good nucleus, including guard Damon
Flint and Darnell Burton, one of basketball's best sixth men.
Must replace center Art Long and guard Keith LeGree.

 7. Georgetown (29-8)
Points: 606. Last poll: 5. Looking ahead: A little retooling could
turn into a major job if guard Allen Iverson should leave for
the NBA. Forward Boubacar Aw and center Jahidi White will be juniors
and guard Victor Page a sophomore.

 8. Connecticut (32-3)
Points: 601. Last poll: 3. Looking ahead: Big question is whether
Big East player of year Ray Allen returns for his senior season
or opts for NBA. Huskies will miss point guard Doron Sheffer and
center Travis Knight, but forward Kirk King is back and speedy
reserve Ricky Moore will fill Sheffer's shoes.

 9. Wake Forest (26-6)
Points: 563. Last poll: 9. Looking ahead: If junior center Tim
Duncan turns down lure of the NBA, the Demon Deacons should be
in good shape. Other key players such as Ricky Peral, Tony Rutland,
Jerry Braswell and Steven Goolsby are expected back.

 10. Texas Tech (30-2)
Points: 478. Last poll: 7. Looking ahead: High-scoring forward
Jason Sasser, point guard Jason Martin and backboard-destroying
Darvin Ham will be missed. Center Tony Battie returns and is getting
better. Gionet Cooper should move into a starting forward spot
and sharpshooting sixth man Cory Carr is one to watch.

 11. Arizona (26-6)
Points: 475. Last poll: 11. Looking ahead: The Wildcats will miss
the leadership of forwards Joe McLean and Corey Williams, center
Ben Davis and guard Reggie Geary. Guard Miles Simon is the only
starter back.

 12. Utah (27-7)
Points: 415. Last poll: 10. Looking ahead: If junior forward Keith
Van Horn should leave early, the Utes will have to replace two
stars because guard Brandon Jessie is a senior. The other starters
center Michael Doleac and guards Ben Caton and Andre Miller return.

 13. Georgia Tech (24-12)
Points: 391. Last poll: 15. Looking ahead: Freshman Stephon Marbury's
announcement about opting for the NBA comes Wednesday. He was
Atlantic Coast Conference freshman of year and first-team all-ACC.
Regardless, Yellow Jackets return forward Matt Harpring and starters
Michael Maddox and Eddie Elisma.

 14. Louisville (22-12)
Points: 323. Last poll: 23. Looking ahead: The Cardinals lose
guard Tick Rogers and shooter Brian Kiser, but little else. Cornerstones
Samaki Walker and DeJuan Wheat are among the returnees.

 15. Purdue (26-6)
Points: 311. Last poll: 4. Looking ahead: Big losses here. The
Boilermakers' senior class, which won three Big Ten titles, is
departing. Center Brad Miller and guard Chad Austin will be juniors
and will have to carry more of the scoring load.

 16. Georgia (21-10)
Points: 299. Last poll: Not ranked. Looking ahead: Coach Tubby
Smith brought a senior-laden team to the Sweet 16. Smith's son,
guard G.G. Smith, returns.

 17. Villanova (26-7)
Points: 269. Last poll: 12. Looking ahead: Guard Kerry Kittles
and sharpshooting forward Eric Eberz are graduating. Forward Chuck
Kornegay, center Jason Lawson and guards Alvin Williams and John
Celestand return.

 18. Arkansas (20-13)
Points: 172. Last poll: Not ranked. Looking ahead: Four freshmen
started on a team that reached the Sweet 16. Guards Pat Bradley,
Kareem Reid and Marlon Towns and forward Derek Hood got a baptism
of fire and responded like seasoned vets in March.

 19. UCLA (23-8)
Points: 155. Last poll: 13. Looking ahead: All five starters are
back. Forward Charles O'Bannon and guards Toby Bailey and Cameron
Dollar should emerge as leaders. Center Jelani McCoy is becoming
a force.

 20. Iowa State (24-9)
Points: 149. Last poll: 16. Looking ahead: Big Eight tournament
champ moves to Big 12. Cyclones return everybody, including scoring
guard Dedric Willoughby and 6-11 center Kelvin Cato.


 21. Virginia Tech (23-6)
Points: 127. Last poll: 21. Looking ahead: If possible, the Hokies
will rely even more on star forward Ace Custis next season.

 22. Iowa (23-9)
Points: 120. Last poll: 19. Looking ahead: Still plenty of talent
and experience. Guard Chris Kingsbury, forward Jess Settles and
standout point guard Andre Woolridge return for another run at
a Big Ten title.

 23. Marquette (23-8)
Points: 107. Last poll: 22. Looking ahead: Golden Eagles shouldn't
have too big a dropoff. Guard Anthony Pieper and Aaron Hutchins
and forward Chris Crawford are back.

 24. North Carolina (21-11)
Points: 102. Last poll: 24. Looking ahead: Young Tar Heels could
grow up in a hurry. Point guard Jeff McInnis and center Serge
Zwikker will be seniors. Guard Vince Carter and forward Antawn
Jamison will be sophomores, as well as forward Ademola Okulaja.

 25. New Mexico (28-5)
Points: 93. Last poll: Not ranked. Looking ahead: Center Kenny
Thomas will be a sophomore and shooting guard Charles Smith a
senior. Slick point guard David Gibson could be one of the very
best by next winter.

Marbury leaves no doubts he's going pro


NEW YORK - Stephon Marbury had said all along he would leave Georgia 
Tech if he felt he was ready for the NBA. On Wednesday, he made his 
intention known in front of a microphone in his hometown of Brooklyn, 
declaring fitness for the draft after one year of school. Marbury, 19, 
left no doubts that he's gone for good, cutting off his last chance to 
return to college by announcing he had signed with an agent, Eric 
Fleischer. Marbury, a 6-foot-2 point guard, led Georgia Tech to its 
first regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference title and was named 
conference rookie of the year.

      Before the Georgia Tech - BC game there was a piece on
     Stephon's older brothers who had all played division 1
     basketball. The general tone was that they advise Stephon
     on his game and on life. What struck me then is that none
     of them seemed to have gotten a degree. They all played
     college ball and none of them earned a sheepskin. Now ,
     here's Stephon coming out of college after one year and
     in all likelihood he'll never get a degree either. If his
     brothers really held any sway they'd have advised him to
     stay in college and get his degree. The kid is good. But 
     he's not ready for the NBA. They say rookies his a wall 
     along about January. Stephon will probably hit his around 
     November. A steady diet of real NBA quality point guards 
     will do for his confidence what the New York hype machine 
     did to Felipe Lopez. Stephon may get paid in the short run 
     but over the long haul he'd be a better player and probably 
     a better person if he'd stayed in college.

     If you sign with an agent, the NBA clubs know you are coming - there's
     no risk of you returning for another season, and of them losing a first
     round pick.  That may move you up in the draft but a couple (or more) 
     notches, and equates to more money.

I think that if you stay in until the draft, agent or not,
the team that drafts you still keeps your rights.  You can
go back to school, but you don't go back in the pool the 
next year.

    Also, if you sign with an agent, he sticks a big wad of cash in your
    hand right now as an advance on a future contract. How many 19 year old
    kids would turn down, say $100K to wait and see what happens?
14.1848some doingsHBAHBA::HAASfloor,chair,couch,bedFri Apr 05 1996 16:4125
some more updates, sorta

Like someone said it looks like Fraschilla from Manhatten will land at
St. John's, supposedly after John Calipari of Massachusetts and Rick
Majerus of Utah turned 'em down. Pat Kennedy of Florida St had also
interviewed.

Kevin Sampson, who is the current head coach at Oklahoma, is staying
there and not pursuing the opening at NC State. No clear indication of
who is coming or going but up in Raleigh they're talking about the head
buy at Miami-Ohio. The consensus is that anyone would be better'n ol' Les
who got kicked upstairs to assistant A.D.

Locally, Jeff Mullins resigned from UNC-Charlotte which promoted
assistant coach and former 49er Melvin Watkins. Watkins had been groomed
by Mullins, who recommended him as a replacement.

Marcus Camby adds the Wooden to his trophy case. Other's making the
Wooden Top 10: Wake Forest's Tim Duncan, Connecticut's Ray Allen,
Kentucky guard Tony Delk, Cincinnati forward Danny Fortson, Georgetown
guard Allen Iverson, Villanova guard Kerry Kittles, Georgia Tech guard
Stephon Marbury, Kansas guard Jacque Vaughn and Utah forward Keith Van
Horn.

14.1850possible draftHBAHBA::HAASfloor,chair,couch,bedFri Apr 05 1996 18:1916
In a peice about how ever one's leaving early, here's a_opinion from USA 
Today of the order of the NBA draft with a lot of assumptions.

	1. Tim Duncan, Wake Forest
	2. Allen Iverson, Georgetown
	3. Marcus Camby, UMass
	4. Stephon Marbury, Georgia Tech
	5. Ray Allen, Connecticut
	6. Lorenzen Wright, Memphis
	7. John Wallace, Syracuse
	8. Kerry Kittles, Villanova

Kobe Bryant who may come outta high school is projected in the 10-15 
range. If'n Iverson stays, Marbury could move up to #2.

14.1851SNAX::ERICKSONFri Apr 05 1996 18:588
    
    	Meanwhile the Celtics keep screwing things up by beating teams
    like Orlando in Orlando. They would currently draft #8, unless they
    get lucky in the lottery. If the projected underclassmen declare
    the C's will be on the tail end of top players. If one or two don't
    declare then the #8 spot will be a crap shoot.

      And how about the Bucks with Baker/Robinson, though admittedly
      little else.  They were looking to hover at ~500 this year
      and they have been awful.  I wonder if Dunleavy's days are
      numbered.
    
      The Bucks get almost no scoring outside of the above two
      players.
    
      So the Bucks have a solid shot at a #2 pick in the draft.
    
      By the way, I'm surprised Marbury is rated as high as he is
      from the standpoint of his youth.

    The number of underclassmen declaring for the draft is making this
    draft move from horrible to average.  Now, if Camby and Duncan come

I agree that Allen *shouldn't* push Wallace down.  But the guys who make
these picks have ML Carr amongst their fraternity.  They obviously don't have
to pass the basketball equivalent of a MENSA exam.

I also said "wishful thinking".  I'd love to see the Celts get Wallace, play
he and Eric Williams together in the frontcourt, trade Dino (who I believe is
at least *somewhat* marketable) for a solid, good-sized guard, and go from
there.  Luc Longley is living proof that you no longer need an average or
above average center to succeed in today's NBA.
14.1864IMBETR::DUPREZIt's Baseball And You're An AmericanMon Apr 22 1996 18:561

    Longley is not bad.  He's surely not Shaq or Hakeem, but he is a

    Rollie was my high school basketball coach. He was a really good coach
    in every respect. For instance, he worked extremely hard to get every
    one of his players into some college no matter how limited their
    academic or basketball skills were.
    
    Because I remember him so fondly I have found the last five years or so
    of his career to be very sad. The move to UNLV was really out of
    character for him and his acceptance of the coaching job at Cleveland
    State reminds me of an old boxer who doesn't know when to quit.
    
    It is very sad to me.

Jackson State guard, Chuck Nwagwu, has been forced by the coach to quit

That's BJ McKie who's "F-A-S-T". He's got some jets, don't he.

And the other guard, Larry Davis, has a nice shot to really complement
the Cocks in the backcourt. Davis started at Chapel Hill but Dean worked
a deal letting him go to his protege Eddie Fogler.

It's amazing that So Carolina is undefeated in league play. I caint think

   Mississippi

   Colorado State
   Connecticut
   Last Four Teams excluded:
   Hawaii
   Fresno State
   Oral Roberts
   Massachusetts
   Notes:
   
     No team is a greater "lock" for its position than top-ranked Kansas.
   The Jayhawks will certainly stay in their natural Midwest Region, but
   -- as host of first/second round games at Kemper Arena -- cannot open
   NCAA play in Kansas City. Therefore, look for KU at Auburn Hills,
   Mich. on March 13.
   
     Three No. 1 seeds -- Kansas, Wake Forest and Kentucky -- are no
   mystery. Minnesota currently leads Louisville, with the Cardinals
   having lost on Sunday, for the final top seed. The No. 2 seeds --
   Villanova, Louisville, Clemson and Duke -- are among the weaker second
   seeds (for now) in recent memory.
   
     It is conceivable that Wake Forest, if it remains the ACC leader,
   could be slotted as the No. 1 seed in the Southeast Region. This would
   allow the Demon Deacons to play in nearby Charlotte in the first and
   second rounds. However, such a move would require that at least two
   other projected No. 1 seeds -- in this case Kentucky and Minnesota --
   be placed outside their natural geographic regions. As such, it makes
   more sense to keep Wake as the top seed in the East.
   
     Check out the college basketball royalty in the Southeast Region,
   where the projected four high seeds are Kentucky, Duke, Michigan and
   North Carolina.
   
     The numbers do not support the pollsters' fascination with Iowa
   State and Boston College, hence their relatively low seeds. The
   Cyclones, despite a hot streak of 7-3, have a mediocre RPI of 45. They
   also have by far the lowest schedule strength in the at-large pool
   (163); seven of Iowa State's victories have come against teams ranked
   below 150 by RPI. ISU is likely to see those numbers rise against
   superior Big 12 competition, but gains have been slow to date. Boston
   College, meanwhile, is the lowest-ranked team (56) in the at-large
   pool. The Eagles dropped 18 slots this week and are 0-3 against Top 25
   competition, but are saved (for the moment) by a 7-4 Big East record.
   
     Illinois State (MVC), New Orleans (Sun Belt) and perhaps Boston
   University (America East) are the only teams from "one bid" leagues
   which appear capable of securing an at-large berth should they fail to
   win their respective conference tournaments. However, their positions
   are not nearly as secure as those a year ago of teams like
   Wisconsin-Green Bay and Eastern Michigan.
   
     UNC Charlotte can play its first/second round game(s) at the
   Charlotte Coliseum. Davidson is the host school, and the 49ers do not
   use the Coliseum during the regular season.
   
     Whatever happened to Oregon? The once-mighty Ducks have fallen to
   3-6 in Pac-10 play, and their 7-0 non-conference record is a distant
   memory.
   
     Don't look now, but it sure wouldn't hurt North Carolina to win some
   conference games. The Tar Heels are 3-5 in the ACC, 2-4 on the road
   and just 1-5 vs. Top 25 opponents.
   
     Looking for "bubble" pressure? Try the Atlantic 10 East, where
   Temple, St. Joseph's, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are fighting for
   no more than 2-3 NCAA berths. St. Joseph's currently leads the
   division with a 6-2 record, but Temple's recent non-league victories
   over Cincinnati and Louisville rate the Owls a higher projected seed.
   Also extremely jumbled are the Big East Six and the WAC Pacific
   Division.
   
     The SEC West could be completely shut out of the field if neither
   Mississippi nor Arkansas distinguishes itself in the coming weeks.
   
     Biggest winners this week (either in making the field or in moving
   up the seeding charts): Illinois, New Mexico, Villanova, Temple,
   Tulane, UNC-Charlotte and Duke.
   
     Biggest losers (down the chart or off the board entirely):
   Connecticut, Arizona, Cincinnati, Boston College, Indiana, Marquette
   and Wisconsin.
   
     Major conference breakdown: ACC (6); Big East (6); Big Ten (6); Big
   12 (5); Atlantic 10 (4); Conference-USA (4); Pac-10 (4); SEC (4); WAC
   (4).
   
     In the case of conferences likely to earn only an automatic bid
   (indicated with ALL CAPS), the current regular season standings leader
   has been listed.
   
     A projected NIT field will appear in a subsequent edition of the
   BLUE RIBBON post-season report.

    Dickie V's player of the game (at least one of them!).
    
    GW again shows that they're a total fraud, losing to a mediocre Va.
    Tech team by shooting 26% from the field.  Mescherikov is the only guy
    who's any sort of an offensive threat for them.  Amazing to me to see
    Temple get starched at St. Bonnie's, especially with the Bonnie's best
    player, Rashaan Palmer, getting only four minutes.  ANyone know what
    happened to Palmer?

Didja catch the ending of the Cincinnati-Tulane game?

Wail, Tulane has been playing real well and the possibly overrated Cats
aint. With seconds to go, Tulane goes up a point with a couple of seconds
left. Cincy throws a full court pass to the big guy, Danny Fortson, who
takes somewhere between 3 qnd 10 steps and lays it in with .2 left to win
it 65-64. 

Even Fortson admitted that he prolly walked.

Louisville lost it's seconded in a row after beating Cincy. They were
drubbed at Temple (and went up in the polls!~) and lasted night, the
Billikens of Saint Louie beat 'em, 62-64. It was their firsted win in 20
tries.

Wisconsin ended a mini-skid and held up against Michigan, 58-53. The game
turned on a_injury when Paul Grant elbowed Maurice Taylor which
apparently broke his nose. In any case, Taylor din't return and Grant
went on to play well and basically made the game winning shot.

It was not a good night for one other to 25 team, Tulso, who lost to Rice
bad, 58-75.

14.1913Incredible finishTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass is back - watch out NCAA!Fri Feb 07 1997 16:3619
    But you missed the bested part of the Tulane-Cincy game, TTom.  Here's
    the whole scoop:  Cincy grabs a 6 pt. lead under two minutes left. 
    Tulane hits a 3, then gets a turnover and hits two FTs.  Honeycutt, who
    is losing his personal battle to Fortson badly, then hits a jumper,
    Tulane goes up one, 18 seconds left.  Ref calles a push off the ball,
    Cincy guy makes one of two, we're tied at 63.  Honeycutt then gets
    whapped in the face, throws the ball away.  Two seconds left.  Cincy
    heaves a fullcourt pass to Fortson who for some reason is completely
    uncovered.  Fortson takes his 4-5 steps, lays it in, pandemonium!
    But there is still 0:00.2 left!  Refs call a technical on Cincy for the
    bench running onto the court.  Tulane can tie it but Honeycutt misses
    the first of two FTs.  He makes the 2nd, but all they could hope for on
    the inbounds is a tip, and the inbounder didn't even throw the ball
    toward the basket.  Great finish.
    
    As was the game in the Mullins Center.  Carmelo Travieso is a big-time
    shooter.  He sure saved Umass' butt.

14.1914A look into the future - a month from nowTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass is back - watch out NCAA!Mon Feb 10 1997 18:5529
    Here's my firsted take on the NCAA tourney bracket.  I've got six teams
    from the ACC, five from the Big 10, Big 12, A-10 and Conf. USA, and four 
    from the SEC, Big East, and WAC.  This is based mostly on guesswork,
    but partially from the RPI rankings, which for example has all five
    A-10 teams in its Top 40.

    regional final.

It looks like Tar Heels bashers are not gonna get to do much gloating
thised year. What looked like a really off year for 'em is quietly
turning into just another average one. They now look like they'll be in
the Sweet 16 again. As usual.

The question mark for the ACC is Virginia who's been up and down and most
lately the whoopee at Chapel Hill. Florida St droppped outta contention
and like, Georgia Tech, would have to win the league tourney to get in.

    RE: Tar Heel bashing
    
    That is because of Deans system.  It makes the bad teams look better
    and the good teams look worse.  He should use the system with the bad
    players and when he gets good ones modify it appropriately.

Of the top 50, the ones left out are:
Purdue			 8- 5   13-10    34
Connecticut		 6- 7   13- 9    40
Oklahoma State		 5- 7   13-11    43
Arkansas		 7- 5   14- 8    45
Mississippi		 7- 5   15- 7    49
Tulane			 7- 3   16- 9    50

The teams I feel that are bubble teams that are more likely to make
the tournament than these 6 are:
Vanderbilt		 7- 5   16- 8    33
Hawaii			 9- 2   17- 4    36
Rhode Island		 9- 4   15- 8    41
Southern California	 9- 4   14- 8    42
West Virginia		 8- 6   14- 7    46
Miami (Florida)		 9- 4   15- 6    63

Vanderbilt has the highest RPI of the 12 bubble teams; the question, do you
take 4 from the SEC east and perhaps none from the west ?  I think the NCAA
would, as Vanderbilt is (IMO) significantly better that Arkansas or Ole Miss.

Next is Purdue, who has a good mark in the Big 10 and high RPI; but the
Big 10 has done very poorly in the last 2 NCAA tournaments, and Purdue would
be the 7th team from the Big 10.  Moreover, Purdue has the 2nd worst overall
record of the 12 bubble teams.  I think last year's horrendous Big 10 show in
the NCAA's keeps a 7th team out.

Hawaii is next.  Does the WAC deserve 4 teams ?  Well, Hawaii's RPI is good
enough, overall record is good enough, and 4 WAC teams out of 16 isn't overly
saturating the field with WAC teams.  Hawaii goes.

Next is UConn; I also consider two other Big East teams at the same time,
WVU and Miami.  UConn has the highest RPI of the three, but worst overall
record, and worst conference record.  I think the NCAA probably would give the
Big East 4 or 5 teams after a good performance last year.  WVU is the most
likely of the three to get a bid.  Does either UConn or Miami go above the
SEC's 5th and 6th teams, Arkansas and Ole Miss ?  I think the question would
be which of the two (Miami and Mississippi) division winners gets to go.
In my opinion, although Ole Miss has the higher RPI, Miami has had a stronger
second hald of the season, and gets in.

That leaves my last pick, USC, which has had a very good conference season, a
strong second half, much stronger (IMO) than UConn, Arkansas, and Ole Miss.
Tulane has faded badly in the recent stages, and while Oklahoma State is up
there in RPI, their talent level and overall play just isn't anywhere near
the other 11 in the group.

So, IMO, Miami edges Ole Miss, Arkansas, and UConn for the last berth, based
largely on winning a division title in a tough league, and having a stronger
second half of the season as compared to the other team in the same category,
Mississippi.
14.1921Big East is wide openTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass is back - watch out NCAA!Mon Feb 17 1997 18:3810
    Atlatnic 10 has four teams in the Top 30 according to the RPI index,
    while the Big East only has Villanova at a very inflated #9 among the
    Top 30.
    
    With such a low power ranking, the Big East has little chance for five
    teams to get into the tournament.  In fact, if Miami or BC loses in the
    first round of the Big East Tournament, they may only get three teams
    invited.  Right now, only Nova and Providence are locks.

And Virginia's chances took a beating thanks in part to the Clemson refs
who forgot to start the clock.

TTom
14.1923ALFSS2::ROLLINS_RMon Feb 17 1997 18:5532
	Virginia's chances are great, TTom.  The ACC has 5 of the top 15
	RPI-ranked teams in the country, 4 of the top 8.  Virginia is still
	in the top 30 themselves.  Unless they go 0-for-the remainder, they
	probably are going.  No conference will get 6 if the ACC doesn't,
	and there just aren't enough good teams at the mid-to-lower echelons
	of the big name conferences to knock out UVa.

	While the A-10 has five teams in the top-30, it's not like they have a
	sixth team that is competing with these teams.  The fact that the ACC
	and Big 10 have 6 sure bids is not relevant either.  No way the 
	Big East gets only three bids; PC and Nova are in, and at least
	two of Miami, BC, and WVU (or 1 plus a surpise tourney champ).

	I agree that the Big East may not get 5, but if they don't the SEC
	will get 5 or Conference USA will get 4.  I don't see Tulane or
	Marquette getting a bid unless they turn things around quickly.
	Tulane has lost three or four in a row; Marquette has a home loss
	to Princeton and another loss to Maine.

	The question is, how do Miami, WVU, BC finish as compared to Vandy,
	Ole Miss, and Arkansas ?  4 of these 8 teams (or 5 of 10 if you
	throw in USC and Purdue into consideration) are gonna have to get
	bids, unless a team like BU or Illinois State loses thir tournament
	and somehow pulls a surprise and gets an at large bid anyway.

	Arkansas has the advantage of history on their side vs Miami, and that
	could be the deciding factor, but the Razorbacks haven't impressed me
	that much this year, despite a recent victory over Georgia as a win
	"big enough" (their claim) to get the focus of NCAA attention on them.
	Purdue could surprise everyone by closing strong and getting in, but
	they are more likely to knock out Wisconsin or Iowa than a team outside
	the Big 10.

   The Rating Percentage Index (RPI) has been used by the NCAA since 1981
   to supplement the selection of at-large teams and the seeding of all
   teams for the NCAA basketball tournament. This list is an independent
   duplication of the RPI without input from the NCAA, which does not
   release the RPI to the public. It is derived from three component
   factors: Division I winning percentage (FI, 25%), schedule strength
   (FII, 50%); and opponent's schedule strength (FIII, 25%). Games
   against non-Division I opponents are not used in calculating the RPI.

    Notable
    
     Wake Forest's mini-slump raises the possibility of the Demon Deacons
   losing the No. 1 seed in the East Region. In fact, a win by Duke at
   UCLA would have propelled the Blue Devils to that spot in this week's
   projections.
   
     As it stands, Big Ten champion-to-be Minnesota has surpassed Wake
   among the elite -- for now -- and is granted the geographically easier
   East Region, while Wake Forest is moved West. Duke and North Carolina,
   meanwhile, are No. 2 seeds in Charlotte and Winston-Salem,
   respectively, draws which each school would likely consider as
   favorable as a No. 1 seed.
   
     Ultimately, we expect one of the ACC heavyweights to break from the
   pack and regain the No. 1 seed in the East Region. This week, however,
   there is no clear-cut candidate.
   
     In the Southeast Region, might there be a story line for a potential
   second-round matchup between Arizona and St. Joseph's? You may recall
   that it was Lute Olson's Wildcats -- citing a dubious weather forecast
   -- who refused to travel to Philadelphia for an ESPN2 date with the
   Hawks last season.
   
     Virginia again remains a potential trouble spot for the NCAA
   Selection Committee. It would clarify matters if the Cavaliers won
   their final ACC game (March 2 vs. Maryland) to reach a conference
   record of 7-9. That mark would be more in line with the Cavs' high RPI
   (No. 24).
   
     There is virtually nothing to separate Big 12 at-large candidates
   Iowa State, Texas and Texas Tech. Iowa State has the best record, but
   has played by far the weakest schedule of any national contender. The
   two Texas schools, meanwhile, continue to fight it out in the
   conference's South Division.
   
     Just a reminder that UNC-Charlotte can play at the Charlotte
   Coliseum in the first and second rounds (as projected this week).
   Though not scheduled there this week, Michigan could also be slotted
   for the Palace at Auburn Hills.
   
     No team moves on or off the bubble more frequently than Boston
   College. After an "off" week, the Eagles are again "on" the bubble.
   
     The Big East continues to lose ground, at least for the moment, in
   the at-large pool. However, West Virginia, Connecticut and Georgetown
   are each just one hot week away from being back in the field.
   
     Biggest winners this week (either in making the field or in moving
   up the seeding charts): Minnesota, North Carolina, UCLA, New Mexico,
   California, St. Joseph's, Wisconsin, Purdue, Rhode Island, Syracuse,
   Mississippi and Oklahoma.
   
     Biggest losers (down the chart or off the board entirely): Wake
   Forest, Clemson, Indiana, Iowa State, Michigan, Boston College,
   Stanford and Miami (Fla.).
   
     Major conference breakdown: ACC (6); Atlantic 10 (5); Big East (4);
   Big Ten (7); Big 12 (6); C-USA (3); Pac-10 (3); SEC (5); WAC (4).
   
     In the case of conferences likely to earn only an automatic bid
   (indicated with ALL CAPS), the current regular season standings leader
   has been listed. Same for teams (e.g. PRINCETON) which have already
   clinched an automatic bid.

tentative schedule.

For any who are insterested, it's a 6 game package for 75 bucks, a hail

    They're still tickets?  Last couple of years, they've been
    selling out faster and faster in the East, even for the first 
    rounds.
    
    This is the first year I'm doing the Regionals instead (3 
    games for $60 in Syracuse) - less games, but hopefully
    better contests.

It's a well established fack that Tar Heels are not only not sprots fans
they're not even college hoops fans. If'n it aint Dean and his baby blue
boys, they don't wanna hear about it.

One effect of this is that we always miss the firsted half hour of any

    Best line in the new movie has to be the one I saw in a promo where
    Chase says "The kids are growing up so fast, I can't hardly recognize

This is a very useful part of a movie review.  When you think a movie's a
dud, let the reader know a similar movie than they can have a frame of
reference.

For me, any movie that's dull like European Vacation is worth seeing.

       IMO, the first Vacation movie was hysterical but every one
      since has been progressively lamer. You could probably say
      the same about every Chevy Chase movie period. Generally, 
      the clips that you see promoting a movie are some of the 
      funniest bits. If that's true of the Vegas Vacation movie
      then that is one unfunny movie. It's hard to say whose career
      is in a deeper toilet - Chevy Chase who is rehashing the same
      role over and over or Dennis Miller who is reduced to playing
      second fiddle to a M&M.

    Here's my second, updated effort at putting together the NCAA tourney
    bracket. I'm assuming that Duke wins the ACC tourney, and that the ACC
    is such a strong league that the winner of their tourney should get a
    #1 seed, thus SOuth Carolina and Kentucky slip to #2 seeds.

    If there were nine teams from one conference I guess you would put
    numbers 8 & 9 on a collison course to meet in the third round and then
    hope that one or both couldn't win two games.
    
    It seems like you would have to have a conference the size of the WAC
    to have nine teams from one conference even a remote possibility.

I'd say the way they overrate the ACC if say the 9th place team during the 
regular won the  ACC tournment and the others in the league had a good
season.............

How about that play at the end of the Kentucky game that got SLick Rick tossed?
excellent call imo. Even better that it happened in Kentucky. For those that
missed it. SOuth Carolina was up 2 with 3 seconds left and were inbounding
the ball under the Kentucky basket. One of the Gamecockers ran behind the
endline the other 'cockers tossed him the ball and then cut along the baseline
towards the guy he just passed to. One of the 'Cats tryed to step in front of
him but was too slow in doing so. He stuck his shoulder into the 'cocker and
did a flop no call. SLick Rick cried and got tossed........

    was made, a pretty tough call to argue about.

    Nazz,

    Interesting.  I think if either Kentucky or South Carolina win the
    SEC, they get a #1 along with the ACC champ, Kansas, and Minnesota.

    Colgate is out, as Navy meets Bucknell in the PL title game.
    Iona is out; they lost in round 1 to Fairfield, who meets Canisius for
	the MAAC title.
    ECU is out; Old DOminion meets James Madison for the CAA title.
    Gonzaga is out; St.Mary's meets San Fransisco for the WCC title.

    Michigan has lost 7 of 9, and have only Ohio State and Northwestern
    	left (no bonus for the RPI there); they are very much in danger.
    St.Joseph's won't get a #4 seed over Maryland unless they get to the
	A-10 finals, which is not a lock.  Xavier and St.Joseph's won't
	both be in the top 4 seeds.
    Stanford has really stubled; if they get in, it'll be down around a 
	9-10 seeding.
    UNO is very iffy after losing to Louisiana Tech in the Sun Belt tourney
	(BTW, either South Alabama or Louisiana Tech goes as Sun Belt champs).
    Tulsa will be seeded higher than where you have them, as will Princeton.
    Charleston, UMass will be seeded lower (if UMass gets in).
    Marquette and Washington are not going to get in to the tournament.
14.1965WONDER::REILLYSean Reilly, Alpha Servers, DTN 223-4375Mon Mar 03 1997 22:426
    
    I don't see BU getting a 13 seed, but maybe.  I hope they get
    in whatever bracket the Minnesota is in.  With a Big 10 at #1,
    they'd actually have a shot, even if seeded #16!

    Guess I shoulda paid more attention to all these conference tourneys
    before sending out a guess!
    
    I agree that Michigan is in trouble, but I think they will get the nod
    over Wisconsin if they win both games this weekend.  
    
    I disagree with you that St. Joe's won't get a #4 seed.  I actually
    had Xavier ranked lower than St. Joe's, but because I had to move a
    team that was in the same bracket as another from the same conference,
    I had no one left to put in that #3 seed spot, so I stuck Xavuer there!

sophomores going pros ;-}

    almost did it against Purdue (last year, 2 years ago?)?

    Fairfield was picked as preseason favorite, choked all year and still
    gets to the dance.  At least one team from Connecticut is going 8*(
    
    Uconn faces an interesting challenge.  Pitt has already beaten them 
    twice this year, followed by BC who they haven't lost to in many 
    years, followed by the 1 dimensional Hoya club, followed by the upset 
    of an uninspired Nova effort and the Huskies will be in the dance!!!!\

    Notes
    
     The No. 1 seeds were scrambled this week, particularly with the
   losses suffered by Wake Forest and Kentucky. In their places -- for
   now -- are Duke (East) and Utah (West), with the upcoming ACC and SEC
   tournaments likely to determine the eventual identity of the last two
   top seeds.
   
     Kansas and Minnesota are so far ahead of the field, it is extremely
   unlikely that either could fall from a No. 1 seed. However, with no
   clear-cut SEC team in position to claim the top spot in the Southeast
   Region, the "Kansas to the Southeast" scenario finally becomes
   plausible.
   
     For those wondering how Duke could be a No. 1 seed after losing at
   North Carolina, remember that the Selection Committee has bent over
   backward in recent years to reward regular season conference winners
   -- and the Blue Devils were outright champions of the nation's
   toughest conference.
   
     It will be particularly interesting to learn the seeding of TAAC
   champion College of Charleston. Though the Cougars are ranked in the
   wire service polls, their RPI is just 59. We split the difference and
   placed Charleston in an 8-9 game.
   
     If you think the Big Ten is a jumbled mess, try the Big East. That
   conference has two of the final four teams Included (Boston College,
   Providence), as well as one of the last four Excluded (Syracuse). It
   adds up to high drama this week at Madison Square Garden, along with
   the possibility that the Big East could send as few as three teams --
   or as many as six -- to the NCAA field.
   
     As mentioned previously, we strongly believe that Hawaii -- if
   included in the NCAA field -- will be placed in the West Region. This
   week, that scenario means violating one of the "conference conflict"
   criteria (e.g., No conference member shall be placed as the same
   region as the top-rated team from that conference). However, even with
   fellow WAC member Utah also in the West, it seems that any other site
   for the Rainbows would place them at a significant disadvantage in
   terms of travel.
   
     Someone should mention to Michigan that this is no way for a team
   with a 27 RPI to act. The Wolverines need to sweep their final regular
   season games just to get back on the bubble, but there are no longer
   any guarantees.
   
     Many will ask about Sun Belt co-champion New Orleans in the coming
   week. We believe the Privateers -- upset in the conference tournament
   semifinals -- will not earn an at-large bid. A dangerously low RPI of
   62 and zero Top 25 wins, make the difference.
   
     Biggest winners this week (either in making the field or in moving
   up the seeding charts): Duke, Utah, UCLA, Villanova, Tulsa, Illinois,
   Virginia, Stanford, Tulane, Mississippi, College of Charleston, West
   Virginia and Georgetown.
   
     Biggest losers (down the chart or off the board entirely): Kentucky,
   Wake Forest, Maryland, Iowa State, California, Hawaii, Providence,
   Temple, UNC-Charlotte, Syracuse, Vanderbilt, Michigan and New Orleans.
   
     Major conference breakdown: ACC (6); Atlantic 10 (4); Big East (5);
   Big Ten (6); Big 12 (6); C-USA (3); MVC (2); Pac-10 (4); SEC (4); WAC
   (4).
   
     Teams which have clinched an automatic bid by Sunday, March 2 (e.g.
   Princeton) are listed in ALL CAPS.

   projections will be available on Thursday, March 6. Then, the final

    > followed by the 1 dimensional Hoya club
    
    Just what dimension would that be?  Offensive rebounding?  Or do you
    mean a team that can't play defense.
    
    Georgetown nevertheless could be a team to watch.  The BE went
    intensely internecine this year but I'm looking for some of them to
    break out in the ncaas because of the defense played in the conference.
    
    And MIkey has a point, Victor Page when he tunes it up can ORCHESTRATE.
    
    One tip that sometimes works is the final seedings and matchups where a
    sceptic sometimes sees an attempt to clear the way for the ncaa pets.
    So if NC,Duke,Kansas are as far away from say the Hoyas and say
    Minnesota is matched right up with them that'll tell said cynic
    something.

    .
    option 7 - Page dumps it in to White
    
    As far as shooting guards go in the country, Dujaun Wheat and Page are
    the best two I've seen all year, although I guess Wheat is a bit 
    streakier.

        If any of you have watched G'town (ttom) over the past month you
    would have seen an entirely different team. They came into the season
    in a lull probably because of all the talent leaving last year. But for
    the past 6 weeks, they have been one of the top teams in the country.

South Alabama beat LA Tech 44-43 to win the Sun Belt. 
Valparaiso beat Western Illinois 63-59 to win the Mid-Continent.
Butler beat Illinois-Chicago 69-68 to win the Midwestern Collegiate.

In the Sun Belt, New Orleans was the #1 seed. They have 22 wins which
might draw some interest from the powers that be in the NCAA.

Butler and Valparaiso were both the top seed in their leagues.

    Trivia question in the local 'graph today was 
    
    	What team has the most final four ncaa appearances without a
    championship.  The answer it gave and the total () leads me to believe

    Lefty (ah can coach) Driesell was fired as coach of James Madison
    University a day after he announced that next season would be his last.

    Have lots of great memories associated with the Lefthander from the
    70's (73 - 77 to be exact).  4 corners, Brad Davis behind the back
    deke, Brian Majid(sp) being greeted with shouts of "Shoot" as soon as
    he touched the ball (too bad they didn't have treys back then), great
    ACC Tourneys, .....

    Hard to believe but the MD basketball program, with the Joe Smith years
    and this year seem to have finally pulled away from the Bias tragedy
    which happened 11 years ago.

I've always kinda like Lefty.

I'll never forget 74 when State and the Terps played til overtime to
settle the ACC tourney. Maryland ended #2 in the polls and turned down
the NIT while State when on to beat Bill Walton along their way to the
David Thompson Championship.

I think the turning point for Maryland began shortly after Gary Williams
arrived. Then Walt Williams decided to tuff it out through the probation
years. Then Joe Smith put 'em back on the map which continued with Keith
Booth.

    So how do they decide who gets the home games? I don't see the
    seedings.
    
    On the NCAA front - something very interesting.  Cincinnati and Xavier
    could be on a collision course...

    And as pointed out on The Show last night, potentially Dean versus Bob
    in a game where Dean has the chance to break Rupp's record for coaching
    victories.  Ain't no one gonna convince me that this wasn't intentional
    on the part of the selection committee (and I see nothing wrong with
    it, either).

hopefully Bobby slams him and makes him wait till next year. Can't believe that
the Big11 got 6 teams after last year's showing.

    IMO the home games in the NIT are revenue driven.  A perfect example
    is a 14-14 UCONN hosting a 22 win Iona.  UCONN will sell out a 10k
    arena, I wouldn't think Iona has one or would sell it out..........
    
    There are also no brackets and the next games are determined after 
    this round is complete.........

    You know, it's kinda neat...
    
    Princeton loses three places for not playing, and in spite of being
    the 28th ranked team (by this poll, admittedly), which would suggest
    a 7 seed, they get a 12 seed.

    Doesn't matter - Princeton will win their first game, then beat
    Vill-enigma.  Then they'll fade away.
    
    Supposedly this year's Tiger squad is even better than last year's
    that beat UCLA.

     Actually, this is a much better Princeton team than last year.  After
     beating Penn in Philadelphia by 15, Penn coach Dunphy stated that it was
     the best execution of the Princeton style he had ever seen.  The Tigers
     lost to Indiana in their opener (in a decent effort), lost at home to UNC
     after leading much of the way, beat Marquette in Milwaukee to win a
     holiday tournament, and had only a couple of bad games in an unbeaten
     Ivy season.  It is the best Princeton team since the Bradley days.

    Don't where you got your data but some of it is in error.
    
    For instance, 
    
    Boston College was 5-4 against Tourney teams not 4-3 as your list shows
    
    Wins: Georgetown ( twice ), Villanova, Vanderbilt, Fairfield
    
    Losses: Lousiville, UMass, Providence, Villanova
    
    
    UMass won six not five as your list shows
    
    Wins: Temple ( twice ) , URI ( twice ), BC, Maryland
    
    
    Without checking in details I assume the records for some of the other
    teams are probably incorrect also

You know it's a strange thing.

I don't like basketball all that much.  That's not a revlation to you sports
noters.

But this time of year I do find my interesting peaking a bit when it comes to
the NCAA.  Perhaps it's because you'll always find an upset like last year when
(can't even remember the team) knocked off UCLA... 

Or maybe it's because basketball is small doses can be somewhat entertaining
for me....

Who knows...

	California 55, Princeton 52

Who knows if'n this'll get in or not but here goes.

Based on yesterday's productions, CBS has reminded us yet again that they
aint really into sprots.

Sure the game you're watching is at half time and there's at least 2
other games going on. I'd much rather listen to Clark Kellogg.

And oh yeah, what about that middle game, St.Joe's vs Pacific? They had
games at noon and 2:30 so a 5:00 game would be nice. But no way. At least
not in this area. You know danged well that ESPN woulda showed 'em all.

Hail, Ron, they catch major flack for pre-empting the freakin Soaps.

As for the NIT, no one carried 'em, not even the deuce. My guess is that
CBS put the fix in with the NCAA to keep 'em off the tube yesterday and
anytime it might conflict with their schedule.

I guess they coulda showed one at 5, though...

    My Annual The Big East Gets Shafted Every Tourney Tirade
    (or why the selection committe is the bane of my existence)
    
    Let's look at what the conferences actually did with their
    picks last year:
    
    == 1996 ========================================
               teams      teams in   overall 
    conference started    Sweet 16   tourney record
    ---------  ---------- ---------- ---------------
    SEC:       4          4          14-3    ( .824)
    Big East:  5          3          12-5    ( .706)
    A10:       4          1           6-4    ( .600)
    ACC:       6          2           6-6    ( .500)
    Big10:     5          0           2-5    ( .286)
    
    Clearly, the SEC and the Big East were undervalued.  As
    usual, the Big 10 and ACC were WAY overvalued.  In fact,
    I bet the Big 10 would have gotten more if they hadn't
    shown how stupid it was to let 7 teams in in '94.
    Yet....   YET....  YET!!!........
    
    Who gets the most teams this year?  The Big 10 and ACC.  
    What's up with that?  Anyway, here's how things are going 
    so far...
    
    == 1997 ========================================
               teams      teams       current 
    conference started    still left  tourney record
    ---------  ---------- ---------- ---------------
    Big East:  4          4           2-0    (1.000)
    A10:       5          4           2-1    ( .667)
    Big10:     6          5           2-1    ( .667)
    SEC:       5          4           1-1    ( .500)
    ACC:       6          4           1-2    ( .333)
    
    Well, the Big 10 is actually so far not self-
    destructing!  Amazing.  Poor ACC - HA!  they can't lose
    enough for me!  :^)
    
    By the way, the Big East (no jokes about SU, pals)
    is also kicking butt in the NIT.

>    Well, the Big 10 is actually so far not self-

    Exactly.  I wouldn't place to much emphasis on past tourney
    performance, with the high turnover in players year-to-year, and the 
    relative few number of tourney games.  The Big-10 has its top 3 seeds 
    yet to play (yesterday's 2-1 was all from #8 seeds), so they should 
    reverse their record in last year's dismal opening weekend.  They may 
    get shut out of the Final 8 but the Big East almost certainly will.
    So what's it all mean?

       make excuses for.

14.2048Non-Call??DONVAN::SCOPAMon Mar 17 1997 12:4219
    Did anyone else notice a non-call at the end of the Coppin State-Texas
    game?
    
    Coppin State is attempting to inbound the ball underneath its own
    basket. The Texas defender REACHES OVER THE BASELINE AND TAPS THE BALL
    while in the hands of the Coppin State player. 
    
    Not only did the defender break the plane but he touched the ball. In
    high school bball that's a technical foul. I thought Coppin State would
    get at least one foul shot and the ball...but there was no call.
    
    Did anyone else see this?
    
    * * * *
    
    I also thought a foul could have been called at the end of the B.C.-St.
    Joe's contest.

14.2050Get rid of CBSGLRMAI::WILKESMon Mar 17 1997 12:5011
    Just as last year the Commercial Broadcasting System's ( CBS ) coverage
    of the Tournament is about to drive me crazy. I wish somehow ESPN could
    wrest the TV contract away from them.
    
    When ESPN had the first rounds the attitude seemed to be "we have to
    show you some commercials in order to pay for the basketball coverage
    we are giving you"
    
    On CBS the attitude seems to be "we have show you a little bit of
    basketball in order to suck you in to watching our endless stream of
    commercials"
14.2051Unless it might have affected the line....CAM::WAYand keep me steadfastMon Mar 17 1997 13:057
Plus, the commentators suck.


Re the foul at the end of the BC-St. Joe's game.  I don't think they called it
because the ball didn't go in.  Granted, if they were going to call it they
should have done it while the ball was being shot, but the point was moot
anyway cause the ball didn't go in.
14.2052BC deserved to lose but if that ball had gone in...MKOTS3::BREENThose dear heartsMon Mar 17 1997 13:1718
    .Re the foul at the end of the BC-St. Joe's game.  I don't think they
    .called it because the ball didn't go in.
    
    Frank, that would have been even worse, blowing the whistle after the
    ball went in.  They don't like to call these but if that ball had gone
    in then violence was in this case justified.  I would have chipped in
    for the bail.  The official should be cited.
    
    But BC lost because they played not to lose.
    
    And CBS gets all the commercials it could ever want what with the
    ceremony at the end of games that all ncaa basketball coaches must
    perform to retain tonsure.  Send them to the foul line in the hope they
    miss and get it down to < 4, < 7 etc => # of possessions.  And what's
    worse it worked for BC to get them in the OT but Duke died with it.
    
    The problem is if you play aggressive and go for the ball the refs will
    think your trying to foul anyway.

    Arizona may have got a little bit of a break but the rest didn't
    especially Stanford not that this is what you mean.  Poor Duncan, he
    just couldn't get support even though there is talent.  College kids
    who think they're NBA material,(darn what's that Wake guards name? Like
    him) just won't put up with throwing it into a Duncan all game long and
    only taking the 3's etc when they're given.  Odoms is that the name?
    
    California had an ostensibly tough opponent in Villanova who can't play
    back to back as BC demonstrated in the BE tourney.  And UCLA had Xavier
    and dispached them fairly easily.
    
    And naturally my PAC12 surprise team was going to be Southern Cal and
    Rodrick Rhodes revenge run.

    Arizona is the biggest surprise to me.  I thought they would give their
    annual first round choke job (see dimwit Lute and his pathetic whining
    during press conferences).  They were on the ropes in both games but
    the opponents couldn't put them away.  They should be done when Kansas
    is through with them.

    The song, btw, goes on and on and on too.  Around the middle (be still

    As for St. Joe's, once they got down early, they could never get back
    into the game.  When Kentucky went up 28-17, the next time the score
    was under double figures was 71-60.  the big difference in the game to
    me was Cameron Mills.  He was simply awesome from outside, making a big
    three every time the Hawks made a run.

It looked like a push-off to me too. It just wasn't flagrant enough (even though
the defender went flying) to be called.

Is Brevin Knight thoroughly dislikeable or what ?? It seemed like he bitched and
whined the entire game. It seemed like the refs were afraid to call a foul on
him once he got his fourth foul early in the second half (and then protested by
throwing his hands up in the air and parading all the way around the court).
There were at least couple of times he could have gotten called for fouls after
that.

    My pick for clutch performer of the night was Michael Doleac.  In OT,
    Utah had three starters (including Van Horn) foul out.  Utah played a
    great team game to win it, but Doleac was big-time clutch, hitting all
    12 of his free throws for the game, with most either late in the second
    half or in the OT.
    
    Regarding an earlier reply - yes, Stanford has entered my official
    Dean Smith Hatred Pantheon, along with North Carolina, UCLA, and very
    few others.  Incessant whining by the team as a whole, along with their
    fans.  The refereeing was bad, but it was bad going both ways. 
    Knight's fourth *was* a chippie (was a foul, shouldn't have been
    called), but Van Horn's fifth was just as bad - a little bit of
    movement on a screen.
    
    After a clutch second half performance, Clemson gacks it up in the
    first OT.  They had a six-point lead and decided to go conservative.
    Not the thing to do with an inconsistent offensive team.
    
    I'm glad I didn't see the UCLA/Iowa St. game - I would have been
    apoplectic.

    in if Van Horn hadn't grabbed it above the cylinder to lay it in (after 
    the buzzer).  It looked damned close... as it turned out it didn't 
    matter...

    I thought about that last shot too, but the repaly showed that it was
    off to the right when Van Horn redirected it in.
    
    I've never been a big Brevin Knight fan, and I'm even less so after
    last night.  How he survived the last 14 minutes of regulation and the
    overtime is a mystery to me.  Every time he drove the lane in traffic,
    he just threw his body into the pack of guys underneath.  Some times,
    he got a foul call and went to the line.  SOme times, there was no
    call.  Never was there called an offensive foul, and there were at
    least three occasions when there could have been one called.  And he
    was determined to shoot every time down the stretch, missing four in a
    row before getting lucky on that three.

14.2085great night of hoops!~HBAHBA::HAASangel trumpets and devil trombonesFri Mar 21 1997 13:1925
based on some of what they said...

Unbelievable night of basketball. 4 OTs in 4 games. So you figger it was 
a dog night. Noop. Favs go 3-and-1.

Team of the night: Kentucky. Tell me again who they don't have? With a 
star and a megastar on the bench, they dominated St. Joe's in the onliest 
contest that weren't one.

Clemson had it, up 4 with the ball in the firsted OT, and let it slip
away. Hats off to Bobby Jackson who hit some incredible shots and pretty
much took over the 2nd OT. 

I din't think Dollar did anything all that bad. In all the games, the 
refs let some things go at the end.

I got no problem with Brevin Knight. As whiners go, he's not up there
with the really greats. Neither is the team as a hole. When I think of a
whiner, I see Danny Ainge or Jeff Lebo. Coach K used to do a weasel whine 
that shattered glass but he seems to have mellowed.

The real stinker for the Cardinal has to be the assistant coach who got 
the T. It led to 4 points on the 2 FTs and subsequent possession.

14.2088Non-Calls AgainDONVAN::SCOPAFri Mar 21 1997 13:4110
    I thought Dollar pushed off but that came after the apparently ignored
    blocking foul by the guy defending Dollar. Again the refs seem to be
    resigned to not call anything towards the end of the game.
    
    As for that inbounds play I think it may have worked had the guy
    putting the ball in play started from the other side of the paint.
    Either that or his teammate should have started on the same side. The
    play took too long to develop...but I like it and may use it someday.

    Brevin Knight.  I thought he was tremendous before last night and
    thought it would be unanimous today.  One of the truly great college
    guards of the era.  Made one of the great shots to tie it up in ncaa
    tourney history.  Two great stars in that game.
    
    Unfortunately I have to play the tourney down a little bit since I
    started earlier because of BC so I didn't catch some of the
    histrionics. But if you think Knight invented whining or even Coach K
    did you've got to go back quite a bit furthur.
    
    Getting back out of three referees would be a big help since the third
    defeats the purpose.  They end up competing, offsetting, making up etc.
    And absolutely if you're lucky enough to get a game at home and you
    think (and apparently can) influence a game by strutting around then
    you strut.  If laying an egg will do it, sit.
    
    Abrams of BC took what appeared to be a costly technical last Thursday
    and I told Glenn that he absolutely had to get the T and get it even
    with the loss of four, he couldn't wait (I thought it was O'Brien's T
    at the time).  Events proved correct, the refs came around and BC
    pulled it out.

      Last night was Exhibit 'A' of why the tourney is far and away
     the best sports event of the year. Yeah, Dollar probably committed
     a foul on that last drive but why hadn't Iowa State ever seen the
     Tyus Edney play? Pick up Dollar earlier and the double him at half
     court. The very last non-play was just a dumb play call. 
    
     Kentucky, despite the big win, didn't impress. They're just too weak 
     down low. And Turner is a very nice PG but he's got to have the ugliest

William's star Mike Nogelo had about the best shooting touch I've ever seen
for
a Massachussetts High School player when he played at Lincoln-Sudbury.

Unfortunately a serious knee injury between his junior & senior years in High 
School cost him a shot at Division I.

       I'd say that about Billy Herrion, who now coaches Drexel.
       He averaged close to 30 a game for Oxford High back in the
       mid '70s. If they'd have had a three point line back then
       he'd have avergaed closer to 40 because he could light it

    My father is driving from the Berkshires to watch Williams tonight.
    I saw them last year and the team is pretty impressive. They play a
    style like Arkansas "40 minutes of hell", playing in your face defense
    and running at every chance. Harry Sheehy who is the coach was a great
    Div III player at Williams while I was growing up out there. The kid
    from L/S is a great shooter. He was still wearing a bulky brace last
    year. 
    Also Middlebury is hosting the Div III hockey finals. They are the
    defending champs and could repeat.

    Providence nearly stole that game.  And why didn't Providence try to
    foul at the end of OT to force Arizona to the line?  They were down by
    4 but there were still 5 seconds left I believe.  Stranger things have

14.2105Williams timeout killed Kansas comeback vs ArizonaMKOTS3::BREENFrom Thurs to SundayMon Mar 24 1997 20:3121
    Watching the Friar comeback I wonder if anyone watching Kansas comeback
    remembers Lou Williams timeout after hitting a three at the 1:14 mark.
    This is a typical ploy invented (seemingly) by Dean to conserve time at
    the end of games and avoid anywhere from 4 to 15 seconds going off the
    clock after a basket is scored and the ball is being gotten into play.
    
    Only 5 seconds is allowed but that's from the point where the ref
    starts his count.  Recently a rule has been put into effect that in the
    last minute the clock stops after a basket so Williams had a point,
    more than a minute was left.  But the refs have been careful not to let
    smart players stall prior to the five second count.
    
    What Williams did was stop the momentum that Kansas had attained and
    allowed Olsen a free time out to gather Arixona together.  After that
    the usual fouling method wasn't enough.  I felt that time out at the
    time was the coaching mistake of the tournament.
    
    Than again you have Vaughn's famous palming which HAD to be called as
    he casually picked the ball up with his dribbling hand - something he's
    probably done many times and not gotten called.  Something he won't
    have to worry about if he makes it in the nba.
14.2106agreed, don't blow *all* the timeoutsTUXEDO::CHUBBMon Mar 24 1997 20:4922
    Yes, I've got a couple gripes (as a Jayhawk) with Williams.  I'm not
    saying dump him -- I think he's done very well recruiting, and pretty
    good motivating (witness many very good 2nd halves).
    
    I think he went overboard with the timeouts, so they didn't get to run
    a set play the last time down the court.  With some coaches running a
    set play means nothing, but KU has done well with them.  I think Pierce
    should have been looked for to make the last shot since he was
    Mr.Tournament for the team.
    
    My other gripe was that Pollard sat on the bench for so long without
    fouling out.  True, he didn't have the ability on the offensive side,
    but offense wasn't KU's problem, defense was.  And Pollard seemed fired
    up on that end.  So..at least let him maybe get some defensive stops
    until he fouls out.  Plus its another big guy to cover so it helps free
    up LaFrentz on the offensive end.
    
    Finally, Pierce was open on the perimeter as LaFrentz drippled out to
    3-pt land.  But perhaps he needed to speak up for the ball.  (He's
    definitely the quiet type.)  Aaaarrrgh.

Roy Williams and Rick Majeras have to be atop the "all-overrated" coaches
list.  They definitely are good coaches, as their regular-season records
atest.  But in the "big show" they haven't won anything to put themselves
among the elite, despite what Dick-head Vitale says.

This Kansas team was good enough to be in one, if not both, of the last 2
Final Fours.  This team was 29-1 (?) this year and they didn't even get
past the Sweet 16 round.  And this was the 1st year that Majeras got past
the Sweet 16.

I've never been a Dean Smith fan, but the man's been to 11 Final Fours.
Sure, he's only won 2 of the previous 10, but at least he's gotten there.

	Disagree with you on half of this one ... no comment about
	Roy Williams, but Rick Majeras is an EXCELLENT coach ... he
	routinely takes marginal talent and turns them into solid
	ball players and an excellent TEAM ... yeah, he may not
	get to the Final Four, but that is more a reflection of
	the talent level of his team, than the coaching level ...
	its tough to win when you don't have the horses ... and, if
	you are gonna turn that into "he can't recruit" ... you
	try getting basketball players to spend four years in Utah ...
	nothing against Utah, but I don't see many inner city kids
	packing up and moving there ...

	IMO, one of the only coaches in recent memory who has shown that
	he can win without the big name players AND with the big time
	recruits is Rick Pitino ... he took the Billy Donovan / Marty Conlon
	PC Friars to the Final Four and then won it all last year with
	the Kentucky squad filled with NBA prospects ...

    I won't speak for Rick Majeras as I don't know anything except how
    impressed I am with Van Horn.
    
    I don't think you can compare Roy Williams to Dean Smith just yet. 
    Didn't I hear that Smith took quite a while to get to his first final
    four anyway?  And Williams has already done it twice (91 & 93).  I
    think 'overrated' is a little strong.  He's also in the top 5 coaches
    for the speed at which he hit 200 wins.  He's brought good talent in,
    typically from afar.  (California to be exact.)  He obviously motivates
    well (many very good comebacks against quality teams).  And he's run a
    clean program.
    
    But on the downside..I thought Larry Brown was a much savvier game-time
    coach.  And I think he taught defense better.  He also recruited
    heavily from the East Coast coast instead the West Coast, but I suppose
    that's another discussion.  On the other hand, there were some
    'recruiting irregularities' found after he left.  And with one recruit,
    Danny Manning, he made the rest of his work much easier.

14.2110There's more to coaching than recruitingTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass in 1998 - Final Four!Tue Mar 25 1997 14:279
    Roy Williams is an excellent recruiter - how he can get California kids
    to go to Kansas is a miracle to me.  But he isn't a very good game
    coach, and more importantly, he seems incapable of adjusting to the
    flow of a game.  Lots of times Kansas wins because they are so much
    better than their opponents.  At tourney time, the competition level is
    closer, and guys like WIlliams and Dean Smith can't just send the
    starting five out there and hope they can win.

If you have a minute, throw a note in the Sportsfile that I'm behind my boys 
100% and think they're going to win it all!  Now, finally... we're getting the 
recognition we've deserved all year.  31-3, 9-1 against rated teams, finished 
higher rated than any remaining teams in the tournament.  It's not "can 
Minnesota beat (UCLA, Kentucky, etc.) but rather can they beat us and our 
quality of depth?  UCLA had better talent, but crashed and burned... 
 
We'll see.

year could only be accomplished by two other guys, Dean Smith and John Thompson.
Maybe 3 as Dean deciple Ed Folger crashed and burnt early too......

    I don't think Smith or Williams "choke away talent".  They've both had
    reasonable success in the tournament.  Smith obviously much more.  And
    Kansas didn't have any Stackhouse on the team -- that's what worked to
    their advantage, I think.  The Iverson's and Stackhouse's are bound to
    leave early for the NBA.  The mostly highly touted KU player was Vaughn
    and unless I'm on the Jayhawk board itself its pretty easy to admit
    that his NBA chances are marginal.  Oh sure..he should make a team, but
    to make any waves as another undersized guard is a long-shot.  LaFrentz
    has an excellent touch for a tall guy, but can he bang around in the
    NBA?  Pierce is the most exciting player to me but I should think
    another year in college would only help. 
    
    My *point* being that KU isn't getting the obviously pro-bound talent
    like UCLA, Carolina, and Kentucky so that's helped them keep the the
    players for longer.
    
    John Thompson I'll agree with..he's gotten some of the best talent of
    all and should have a better tournament record.
    
    Now, it's easy to say "these 3 coaches suck", but who would you
    consider the standout coaches who've done great with less talent?

 Although they took an early exit, Tubby Smith of George stands out im my
 mind as one who does more with less. Pete Gillem of Providence would be
 another. Certainly the General belongs on this list as well. While I'd
 agree that Ku hasn't been getting the superstar talent of the schools
 you've mentioned they have been turning over players to the NBA at a
 reasonable rate. Still though the last two years Williams has come short
 against lesser team. It's a trend that I think will last as he is stuck
 on the principals of a fundamentals like Dean. They just not into free
 lancing which is going to cost them again and again.......

    That's exactly what I was referring to with the timeout he called when
    he had Arizona on the run.  Dean preached the timeout after the basket
    and Lou blindly followed.  Exactly the wrong move to make at exactly
    the wrong time.
    
    Jim O'Brien has to be a the top of the list after his dismantling of
    two far more talented teams in the BE Tourney.

    I have a feeling it won't even be close.  Kentucky should have a
    double-digit margin (12-15 pts.).  Of course, some could argue that
    Kansas and North Carolina should've done the same to Arizona.
14.2127we shall seeHBAHBA::HAASWhere are the ChainSaws of yesteryear?Mon Mar 31 1997 21:4210
I don't know that much about Kansas but Arizona was the perfect kinda of
team to beat the Heels.

They have excellent team speed and top notch guards who shot well after
the firsted couple of minutes when No Carolina went up 15-4.

Against Kentucky, they'll have no such advantage but should be deeper,
if'n that matters.

    Well Kentucky picked a fine time to tank it.  Now the "weak" PAC-10 has
    won 2 titles in 3 years.
14.2130Finally a great game in final fourMKOTS3::BREENIf there's nae wind then it's nae basketballTue Apr 01 1997 15:2714
    Kentucky hardly tanked it, just lost in ot to a better team.  Wild last
    minute of regulation, for once not marred by a lot of timeouts just
    wild up and down basketball.  Poor Pitino, he got a lot of mileage from
    his mr. Muhammed but four missed free throws and a bunch of missed
    layups had him tearing his hair out.
    
    Agreed that Mercer physically was subpar, else no number 2 for him. 
    Perhaps he'll redeem himself in one of the nba camps. Plus, you live
    and die by the press and Kentucky gave up a lot of breakaway points and
    picked up a lot of tough fouls.  Minnesota took a lot more out of Ky
    than Caroline took out of Arizona.
    
    But the Pac12 looked like the top conference coming out of this
    tournament just on overall play.

    I was glad to see 'zona win it.  Always good in any sport to see the 
    wealth spread around a bit.  The scary thing is how young they are...
    
    And, I expect the Lute Olson jokes are now permanently a thing of the
    past.  For all the early exits, he's had his Final Fours, and now he's
    got a ring with a team that was at times brilliant in its execution.
    When you win with a young team like this one, the way this one did,
    the coach can take some credit.

 guy wins a title and deserves respect? I don't think so. He won it because
 Simon wanted it more than anyone else, Bibby handle the pressure and the
 big east refs payed Slick Rick back. Certainly Zona deserved to be on the
 plus side at the line but by that big of a margin? Hats off to both teams
 though for an exciting game. Certainly a more enjoyable game than the last
 few.

    You should the numbers favoring a Kentucky opponent minus any end of
    game fouling parade which only occurred in the overtime.  Kentucky
    presses and goes after the ball with double teams etc.  The whole
    philosophy says that they have to let some hacks go to move the game.
    
    There were some ghost fouls on layups throughout.  I didn't see the
    refs as key, perhaps because I didn't care which 'cat won.
14.2134NQOS01::nqsrv441.nqo.dec.com::WorkbenchInside IntelTue Apr 01 1997 16:475
I thought the only bad calls were the non'calls at the end of regulation. 
 Seemed the refs didn't want 'zona winning the game at the line.

14.2135MKOTS3::BREENIf there's nae wind then it's nae basketballTue Apr 01 1997 18:598
    There is a theory that one ref I knew espoused and that was that the
    calling of the game shouldn't change at the end when time is short and the
    team behind starts to press.  Normally teams behind put pressure on and
    fouls are called pretty quickly.  This is partly because teams today
    foul to stop the clock and the refs oblige.
    
    But with Pitino pressing all game long perhaps refs didn't change the
    way they called the Kentucky pressure.

           either Don King or Albert Belle would be the next Cleveland

           it'll be Mesa instead. He certainly won't be the last, though
           given how Clevlanders embrace hoodlums - as long as they can
