Wildcats tl‘in Runnin' lltes, 101-70

By Jason Dahilo
Sports Editor

MINNEAPOLIS —- During Wednesday’s practice ses—
sion the Wildcats resembled a bunch of hotdogs trying to
outdo each other on a concrete playground.

Swingman Derek Anderson tried his hand at shooting
three-pointers left-handed, while the rest of the Cats pub-
lically debuted an impressive menu of athletic slams.

UK was loose.

Aleanwhile, Utah and Coach Rick Majerus were busy
running through layup drills and practicing free throws.
The Utes’ practice wasn’t ri orous, but it didn’t have the
easy—going atmosphere of ’s shootaround.

The Wildcats chilled on Wednesday, but when it was
time for work, Rick Pitino’s squad took care of business
with devastating efficiency.

The top—seeded Cats destroyed fourth—seeded Utah
101—70 last night at the Hubert H. Humphrey
Metrodome advancing to Saturday’s regional final against
second-seeded Wake Forest, who downed Louisville in
last night's second game, 60-59. Tipoff is scheduled for
3:40 p.m.

“Those walk-throughs are just showtime for us,” said
sophomore Allen Edwards, who added that the Cats’ final
90-minute practice in Lexington wasn’t quite so much fun.
“We focus when we have to get down and play."

Added Mark Pope: “I don’t think we turn off the fun.
Obviously we have to be serious, but I like to think we
have some serious fun."

UK was on fire from the opening tip. Anthony Epps hit
three treys in the first two minutes and 52 seconds of the
game after Majerus told his troops to back off the UK
guard and help out down low. The Utah coach later called

this coaching move a “critical mistake in judgment.”

Epps got the Cats rolling, but it was a 27- 2 run mid—
way through the first half that killed the Utes' chances for
an upset. The Wildcats drilled 13 consecutive field goals
during the run to lead 40—19 with 10:49 left in the half.

Even ()liver Simmons, UK's little—used reserve drained
a three—pointer during the stretch. Simmons‘ trev came on
the forward’s first—career attempt. ’

“I didn’t think anything of it,” Simmons said. “Coach _
Pitino wants us to take 0 en shots, but I’m sure he never
dreamed it would be me 5 ooting.”

Simmons wasn’t the only UK benchwarmer to see sig—
nificant early action. At one point during the opening half,
UK had freshmen “’21an Turner, Ron Mercer and Nazr
Mohammed on the floor together. The above players
played 33 of the Cats’ 100 first—halfminutes.

P00 faculty
want Hoytl
resignation

By Jeff Vinson

Campus Editor

Can’t we all just get along?

That’s what Prestonsburg
Community College students are
wondering after some faculty
members decided to call for the
resignation of the school’s presi-
dent.

On Tuesday, 22 members of
the Faculty Assembly voted to
send a letter to Ben Carr, chancel—
lor of the Community Colle e
System, asking him to request the
resignation of Floyd, who has
been the college’s president for
nearly five years.

PCC has 86 full—time faculty
members, accordin to the col—
lege’s informational Tirochures.

The students are solidly in
Floyd’s comer.

In response to the Faculty
Assembly’s action, the Student
Government Association released
a statement explaining its posi-
tion:

“The Student Government
Association of Prestonsburg Com-
munity College understands that
some faculty are critical of Presi-
dent Deborah Floyd.

Some even call for her removal.
We find this to be unwise and
unwarranted.

“As student leaders, and with a
unanimous voted today March 20,
1996, the SGA gives its ‘full sup-
port and confidence’ to our Presi-
dent Deborah Floyd and urges the
faculty to promote student learn—
ing and campus harmony.”

'A bill that would give staff members
at UK a seat on the Board of Trustees
will not make it to the governor’s desk.

House Bill 83, sponsored by Rep.
Ernesto Scorsone (D—Lexington), was
sent recently to the Senate Appropria-
tions and Revenue Committee, its final
resting place.

Scorsone said the leadership in the
Senate does not plan to bring the bill
before the full Senate.

“It’s very unlikely that we’ll be able
to pass it this year,” Scorsone said.

He said that Sen. John “Eck” Rose
(D-Winchester), the resident of the
Senate, expressed disfiivor toward the

proposal.
Repeated attempts were made to get

of HB 83. Calls to his office have not
been returned.

The bill passed through the House
unopposed in January. It remained
dormant in the
Committee until last week. The educa-
tion committee voted favorably to send
it before the full Senate.

It was then sent to the Senate Rules
Committee to be scheduled for the
Senate calendar; however, the bill was
taken out of the rules committee and
placed in appropriations.

Scorsone vowed to continue push-
ing for passage of the bill at a later
time.

“These issues don’t always get
resolved the first time around,” Scor-
sone said. “I think we did extremely
well. We came very close.

Senate Education '

UK will remain the only state uni—
versi without a staff member on its
Board, of Trustees.

Another higher education bill up for
consideration faired better than HB 83.

A bill that would give a community
college student and faculty member a
voice on the community college advi-
sory board is nearing a vote in the Sen-
ate.

For the past few years, there were
facult and student representatives on
the achtisory boards, nut they were not
given a vote. The advisory boards
guide decision-making for each com—
munity college. Their decisions go to
UK’s trustees for their approval.

Rep. Ruth Ann Palumho (D-Lex-
ington) said she felt confident that the
Senate will give this bill a chance.

The vote could come next week.

llll student reveals secret BI'IISII on national television

By Tracy Graham
Contributing Writer

Have you ever had a crush on
someone and you just weren’t sure
how to tell them?

Well, a UK student flew all the
way to New York to reveal her
secret crush on a pizza delivery
man.

Amelia Bryant, an interior
design sophomore, was sitting in
her room, watching the talk 5 ow
“Tempestt.” However, on this
particular day, the show asked a
question that grabbed Bryant’s
attention.

The “Tempestt‘ show wanted
to know if anyone ever had a crush
on a delivery man; if so, they
could call and be a guest on the
show. ~

2-»

Bryant quickly called the show
and ex lained the crush she has on
a MadpMushroom pizza delivery
man, Derek Davies.

“I didn’t actually meet him
through a delivery,“ Bryant said.
“We had class together last
semester and I think he’s good
looking.”

The “Tempestt” show called
Davies and asked him if he would
be willing to be a guest on the
show.

They informed him of the
topic, “Crushes on Delivery
Men,” but would not reveal who
had the crush on him. However,
that didn’t keep Davies from
agreeing to be a guest on the
s ow.

“My friends warned me about
going, but”! decided to do it any-

way,” Davies said.

The show flew Bryant to New
York City on March 5 for three
days.

“They paid for our plane tick-
ets and our stay in a really nice
hotel,“ Bryant said.

Davies arrived the next day,
when the show was taped.

“I was really surprised when I
found out who it was,” Davies
said. “I know her, since we had
class to ther, but I had only
delivere pizza to her twice so I
had no idea.”

They left New York together
on Thursday, but they got stuck in
Cleveland over night, because of
bad weather.

50, did the show create any
sparks between the two?

Bryant Said they had fun

‘

 

to ether in New York and they’ve
ta ked on the phone a couple of
times since then.

However, Bryant went away for
Spring Break, so they haven't
talked recently.

“\Ve‘re planning to get togeth-
er to watch the show," Davies
said.

“Crushes on Delivery Men"
will be shown today on the “Tem—
pestt" show at 2 p.m.

Some UK students have mixed
opinions about Bryant’s decision
to be on the show.

“I think it’s great that Amelia
had the courage to go on national
TV and reveal her secret,” said
Molly Putnam, an education
senior. “I’ll be anxious to see
Derek’s reaction on the show.”

B ant and Davies both agree
that 's was unusual for them, but
that they had: good time.

Guards key tor UConn

By Chris Easierilng

AJIiflBn! Span: Editor

Like the weather, death and taxes, a trip by
the University of Connecticut men’s basketball
team to the Sweet Sixteen is becoming almost
an annual event.

Including this season, five times under head
coach Jim Calhoun, the Huskies have made it
to the NCAA Tournament’s second weekend.
But the trip generally ends in heartbreak as
UConn has yet to make it to its real destination
— the Final Four.

But this may be different as the Huskies (32—
2) bring some of the country’s best talent into
tonight’s Southeast regional semifinal game
against Mississippi State at Rupp Arena. This
talent helped Connecticut post the best record
in the history of the Big East Conference at 1"-
1. It also captured its third consecutive confer—
ence crown.

“We’ve had a terrific season,” Calhoun said.
“We are very happy to be (in the Sweet Six-
teen), but that is also evident at 15 other
(schools) around the country.”

The Huskies athleticism, especially off
turnovers, may turn out to be the deciding fac-
tor against the bigger, bulkier Bulldogs.

“Defending them in transition is something
we’re definitely going to have to pay attention
to,” MSU boss Richard VVilliams said.

Included among this talented group of ath-
letes is possibly the country’s best player, Mr.
All-Everything, Ray Allen.

Allen, a 6-foot-5 junior, agrees with
\Villiams’ observation but believes the Dawgs
can run as well.

“We want to lay fast,” the Dalzeli, S.C.,
native said. “(MS can lay a fast pace, (but)
we have to have more wil than them.”

Allen has been nothing short of phenomenal
for UConn this season, as evidenced by the
many honors he has collected since the regular
season ended.

Included amon these awards is a spot on
the All—America first team, as well as being
named the Big East’s Player of the Year.

He is joined in the backcourt by 6-foot—5
Doron Sheffer. Combined they make up
ar ably the best backcourt in the country.
TE: duo’s size could work in UConn’s favor as
MSU’s startin backcourt of Darryl Wilson
and Marcus Bu lard stand 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-
3, respectively. But this size advantage, or
rather, disadvantage, does not concern Wilson.

“All season long,” Wilson said, “we’ve
guarded guards who are taller than us, and
we’ve done a good job. We’re all athletes and
we’re going to compete and guard them the
best we can.”

Sheffer, a senior from Ramat Efal, Israel, is
the to assist man on the team with 207. He
will likely see significant time at the point
guard spot due to the likely absence of Ricky
Moore.

Moore, a freshman, was the Huskies main
point guard before separating his right shoul-
der against Colgate in the first round last
weekend.

Calhoun said Moore is “very uestionable”

“He fias not done anything except shoot
some with his left hand,” Calhoun said. “If he
can’t do anything, we won’t suit him up.”

Sheffer said the team will pick up the slack if
Moore can’t lay.

“We sure hope that he will lay,” he said. “If
not, I hope other layers wilfstep up. I have
confidence that ot er players will step up and
fill in in his absence.”

motivated this season by preseason predictions that
