UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY. LEXINGTON. KENTUCKY

3“. Final line Day a time too rellection

icture this:

There you are among the Rupp .Arena faithful

tomorrow afternoon, watchin t as the two
seniors are honored at halfcourt. The liand strikes up
a stirring rendition of"1\1y()ld Kentucky Home."
And then, suddenly, one of the seniors breaks into a
jig, strutting and sliding from baseline to baseline.

It would be more than ridiculous; it would be Rid—
dick-ulous.

It would also somehow be a fitting curtain call for
Andre Riddick, one of the most unusual and amusing
players to ever don the blue and
white.

There will likely be few tears shed
tomorrow when the (i—foot—‘l center
jumps through his hoop, for Riddick
does not hold with the fans any kind
of favorite—son status like The
Unforgettables or various others did.
Yet when he is gone, he will have left
several indelible memories.

 

Bl'lall Who can forget Andre the fresh—
Bennett man, as lanky and wobbly as a new-
1511110?‘ "1 born colt, struggling so mightily with

(3:19} his free throws that he actually tried

shooting them with just one arm,
transforming his body into a very primitive catapult?

\Vho can forget the 1993 Southeastern Confer—
ence Tournament championship game, when Andre
the sophomore became Andre the Giant, exploding
out ofobscurity en route to 15 points, II) rebounds
and 9 blocks, making the crowd so giddy that they
began chanting his name?

\Vhat about Andre the junior’s game against
.\1orehead State, where he seemed to have at least
five arms in blocking four consecutive shots and eight
for the game? He swatted Iayups, Illafooters and
three—pointers without discrimination. At one point,
if I remember correctly, 11 student in section 31
reached for a bite of his nachos only to have Riddick
knock that away too.

And who could ever erase the footage of “Foot-
loose" Andre.2 Nothing could brin r a Rupp crowd to
life like the sight of Riddick twitching and twisting,
sty'lin' and profilin’ after another dunk.

Riddick is that strange breed of Cat who cuts
across all lines of fans, from east to west, city to hill-
side. He has never been worshipped a la Rex Chap-
man, loved a la John Pelphrey or awed a la Jamal
\las‘hburn. He “as simply been enjo yed. Enjoy ed by
virtually everyone who s watched him play, always
appreciated for his hustle and always forgiven for his
shortcomings (i.e. free throws).

The same appears to be true from all who’ve
known him. A naturally reclusive sort, Riddick has
gradually loosened up since trading his home in
Brooklyn for the Bluegrass four years ago.

“Andre has opened up a lot more,” said Chris
Harrison, the only other senior on the team. “\Vhen
he came here, he was quiet and shy."

Nowadays, though, his teammates are more apt to
describe him in different terms.

“Andre," says junior Tony Delk,
person all the way around.”

“The people who know me,

“is just a weird

” Riddick said, “they

know I in pretty crazy. .

This is the Riddick w ho, late
into his sophomore year, admitted
to not liking basketball all that
much — an admission which, for 7
any other psychology major born
outside Kentucky, would not have
been so unusual but, for one who was (i—foot—9 11nd
on scholarship to pla'.‘ that particular sport, did seem
a bit ofan aberration.

This is the Riddick who treated media questions
like hand grenades, either dodging them completely
by hiding in the locker room, or fumbling them
around, talking at the speed of light but leavmg many
in the dark. (Typical Riddick response. “Yeah. VI ell—
notreally butuh I n1 not sure. )

The Riddick who, in lighter locker room
moments, messed up other players’ interviews, doimr
such things as fiddling with lared Prickett s lips with
his forefinger or bobbing his head in and out of cam—
era shots, laughing hysterically all the while.

The same Riddick who, when asked earlier this
week about his future plans, answered: “Maybe I'll go
into professional wrestling. I don’t want to wrestle, l

S‘pmrr Editor

Chris Harrison is not '11 basketball superstar.

In fact, the senior guard's celebrity status
topped out the last time he was a semor - at
'I‘olles‘boro High School. It was there that Harry
son put 11p gaudy scoring numbers, averaging a
shade over 3‘) points a game in his final season.

\Vhat Harrison is, is a L’K basketball player.
He wouldn‘t have it any other way.

“Before his sophomore year, I told 111111 that
with Tony Delk coming in he wasn‘t going to
have the opportunity to play very many minutes
L K coach Rick Pitino said yesterday I told him.
‘I don t want you to leav.e but ify‘ou ti‘ansierie d
to another school in I\'L“',lllllkk\
youd probably get the 111111111
for more minutes.‘"

Harrison wouldn't have any
part ofit.

“He told me. ‘Coach. I’d :
rather be at Kentucky than any--
thing else in my life.” l’itino
said.

Though the minutes haven't
been there. Harrison has shown
some degree of improvement over the past two
seasons. He has become more than simply 11
mop-up man when the game is out of reach .._ he
has been able to contribute.

He has done so this season, coming off the
pine with Delk in foul trouble to drain 11 pair of
threerpointers against Florida. And tomorrow.
when Harrison plays his final game 111 Rupp
Arena, he will face 11 team against which he made
quite possibly his best— remembered contribution.

Harrison came off the bench to hit ;r111othc
pair of clutch treys in UK s 09-05, cone-fromv
il—points—behind win over 1.8! last season in
Baton Rouge.

It's not what Harrison has done offtlie bench
in games that has meant the most to his coach,
though. Rather, it's what he does c\ery day in
Memorial Coliseum —~ in practice.

Many of Harrison’s teammates, though they
command a higher profile, say that the “Blue-»
grass Bomber" is a player worth emulating when
it comes to work ethic.

“It‘s great for us to see him 1112'. e «(11.11- sucecss .
as a senior," UK fonvard \Valter .\lc(2arty' said
earlier this year. “1 1e just gives it his all every sin—
gle day.“

Junior Rodrick Rhodes has held llari‘ison's
work habits in high regard for quite some time.

“It‘s amazing how Chris can work 11s hard as
he does," Rhodes said. “There aren't many play—
ers who would do what he does without any guar—
anteed playing time.

But Harrison no t most players.

“C. hris grew up like a lot of I: astern Kentucky
kids did, thinking that Kentucky basketball was
the thing,‘ Pitjno said. I 111 glad that he decided
to stick it out."

"K doctors IIBIII baby girl Wltll landmark heart surgery

By Alison Kighl
Stuff I I ’rm'r

Kimberly and Roy Downey, the parents of six-
month—old Sarah Katherine “Katie” Downey, can
breathe a little easier now, knowing that their daugh-
ter, because of a landmark surgical procedure, can
breathe easier too.

Katie became the youngest person in Kentucky —
and possibly in the United States —— to receive a
homograft and interbronchial stent placement after
she was born with congenital heart disease.

“It's been a real long road," said Kimberly, speak-
ing of Katie's treatment and time in the hospital.
“But today's a good day "

Katie was born with no pulmonary valve, which
caused her pulmonary arteries and her right ventricle
to dilate even before she was born and in turn
crushed her airway, making breathing difficult, said
Dr. Grngohnson, a UK pediatric cardiologist who

I

treated Katie.

Johnson and other doctors began treating Katie
after she was transferred to the Chandler Medical
Center from Pikeville (K) Methodist Hospital
about an hour after she was f]

She was transferred because of extensive breathing
difficulties.

“Since she was so small, we just watched her for
12 or 13 days," Johnson said. “But it became clear
that she would need a ventilator."

Dr. Robert Salley, chief of cardiothoracic surgery
at UK, replaced Katie‘s pulmonary valve with a
uniquely tailored homograft in a procedure not
known to be previously performed on infants less
than six months of age.

The team of doctors decided to go ahead and per-
fomi the interbronchial stent placement because they
“were fortunate enough to have the micro- sized
equipment, the specialists and the expertise necessary
to perform it on a child this young,” said Dr. ( arol

(.ottrill, a UK pediatric cardiologist who also worked

.-

with Katie.

In the rocedure, a stent, which resembles 11 tiny
piece of cfiicken wire when enlarged, is loaded tip on
a balloon.

Then, the balloon is taken to the narrowed
bronchial site through the endotrachial tube, where
it is inflated to expand the size ofthe stent until it is
lar e enough to open the bronchi to a normal size

angmake breathing easier. The balloon is removed
when the stent is in place.

Katie now has one stent in each bronchus, and is
doing extremely well, said her doctors.

“\Ve had to restrain her arms during the time she
was on the ventilator," Cottrill said. “Yesterday we
freed her amis and the first thing she did was put that
little thumb in her mouth."

Doctors anticipate Katie's discharge from the hos-
pital over the weekend

“She's very active, said Katie's father “Every-
thing looks great, except that they had to cut offa lit—
tle of her hair.

for l/Vildazts

By Brett Dawson
Spom I'ft/Itor'

Senior Day is a time to remii
nisce for basketball players on
their way out at UK.

l)on't be surprised if Andre
Riddick and Chris Harrison are
particttlarly retnetiibering their
sophotnore years totnorrow when
they play their final gatiie in Rupp
Arena.

That, after all, was their year to
garner a No. 1 seed in the NCAA
'l‘ournament en route to an
appearance in tfie l'iinal Eour. A
win tomorrow over LSL‘ (lf— 1 i.
(it) Southeastern Conference)
would all httt ensttre a repeat per—
formance for Riddick, Harrison
and the No. 5 Wildcats (3 l «l, Hr
Ii.

"That's something We just have
to go for right now," Riddick said
earlier this week. “It was a big
advantage the last time we tnade it
to the Final Four, arid we want to
go in with that ntittiher one again.

“This is my last chance at it."

If L'K continues to play the
way it has lately, the witi over
LSU should he a tnere formality.
The Cats have won four in a row

however.

l‘ yen against the Bulldogs, L'K
had its offensive problems.
Despite scoring 07 points, the
flats had a stretch in each half in
which they struggled to score.

“l think when you're using nitte
guys, it's going to take a while to
get accustomed to your offense,"
l’ttino said.

BACKCIIIIBT

Even without injured point guard Randy Livingston. LSU has a backcourt capable of
exploding. For proof, look no further than Ronnie Henderson's showrng against the
Cats last season. Henderson. a sophomore. scored 36 and knocked down 8 three-
pointers. UK’s Tony Delk. who has been consistent all season long on offense, will
get the task of slowing down Henderson
