After the Wildcats took an 86-74

‘Leftover

By JOHN KELLY
Assistant Sports Editor

WORCESTER, Mass. — The in-
credible story of UK basketball
took perhaps its most unbelievable
turn yet over the weekend.

Even the greatest UK teams of
all time may have trouble matching
up with this story line.

Four young college basketball
players, all well-versed in the enor-
mous tradition of one of the na-
tion‘s most prestigious programs,
fall victim to the horrors of NCAA
penalties of which they were not a

21 points by Bayless. The Cy-
clones hit 15 of their 22 shots in
the half but had no offensive re-
bounds. UK. which began the
game third in the country with 8.8
successful 3-pointers per game,
went 8-for-l3 in the first half.

The Wildcats biggest lead of the
first half was 48-36. It was 55-44,
but Bayless made five free throws
in the last two minutes to cut the
intermission lead to eight.

Cowboys give Sutton chance
to return to Rupp

ATLANTA — Oklahoma State.
which hasn‘t been to the Final
Four since 1951, looked like a
can’t-miss team yesterday.

Shooting a toumament-record
80 percent the llth-ranked Cow-
boys crushed Tulane 87-71 in the
second round of the Southeast Re-
gional following 27-point efforts
by Byron Houston and Corey Wil-
liams.

“We are playing much closer to
the way we were playing during
our winning streak at the start of
the season," coach Eddie Sutton
said, referring to his team‘s 20-0
Stan.

Sutton now returns to Rupp Are-
na for the regional semifinals next
Friday. It's the site where Sutton
coached Kentucky until leaving af-
ter the 1988 season in the midst of
a recruiting controversy that even-
tually placed the Wildcats on pro-
bation.

“My only concern in going back
to Kentucky is that the media will
forget the purpose of the touma-
ment and the fact that you have
four teams trying to make it to the
Final Four," Sutton said.

The Cowboys (28-7) missed
only seven of 35 shots to break the
mark of 79 percent set by North
Carolina in 1988.

Sean Woods didn‘t know what

“For me. I didn't know what I
was going to do or where l was
going to go at that particular
time," Woods remembered. “I

ton said. “You probably see it in
the playgrounds. but I‘ve never
seen it at this level."

Tulane, in the NCAA touma-
ment for the first time in school
history, fell to 22-9 in only its third
season since disbanding basketball
for four years because of a point-
shaving scandal.

“I told Eddie that's the best any
team has ever played against us at
Tulane," Green Wave coach Perry
Clark said. “We didn‘t play that
bad. They just executed. They did
everything right“

Tulane’s pressing defense.
sparked by reserves known as the
Posse. gave the Cowboys some
trouble, but it didn’t matter be-
cause of OSU's shooting touch.

Despite 25 turnovers. the Cow-
boys never trailed in the game.

Sutton said the turnovers — a
season-high for the Cowboys —
probably kept anyone on the team
from realizing just how well they
were shooting.

Sean Sutton added 18 points for
his father‘s team. GJ. Hunter led
Tulane with 17 points.

“Considering the circumstances
with it being an NCAA tournament
and everything, I don‘t think I've
ever been with a team that had a
better game than we did today,"
Sean Sutton said.

going to have problems in your life
anyway. so you might as well start
facing them now."

Things weren't pretty for those
leftover kids. These guys were go-
ing to spend the next couple years
playing for a team with only nine
scholarship players.

They would have to answer to
fleets of press, who would be ask-
ing questions about things these
players really knew nothing about.
And worst of all, the traditional
goals of a college basketball pro-
gram would be absent.

Wildcat Jamal Mashburn battled Alabama's Latrell Sprewell for a rebound during the Southeastern
Conference Tournament last week in Birmingham, Ala. See Page 4 for more coverage.

But despite all that, for John
Pelphrey, there was never a ques—
tion of where to go from that
point. It was more a question of
making something positive come
outof it.

“Basically. Kentucky is the only
place I wanted to play," Pelphrey
said. “I never had any thoughts
about leaving from day one. As
bad as things were at the Universi-
ty of Kentucky at the time, with
the investigation and the afteref-
fects of probation and all. it really
had a silver lining in it for some of
the guys who stayed because it

the famous Sports Illustrated cover
slogan “Kentucky’s Shame."

“After watching all the great

Not bad at all. The story line has
changed drastically since the last

a decision that he was not going to

to stick by that."

By MARY MADDEN

Senior Staff Writer

Saying his late entry into Student

Government Association presiden-
tial race would prevent him from
winning. N. Alan Cornett yesterday
announced he will withdraw from
the election.

“Due to the late start we got, we
decided that it would have been im-
possible for us to win." said Cor-
nett a history senior from Manches-
ter, Ky.

“Also, the saying goes, ‘You be-
come like those you are around.’
And we certainly don't want to be

like SGA people.“

Cornett and vice-presidential run-
ning mate Torn Beckett. a finance
and biotechnology senior from
Henderson, Ky., became the sev-
enth SGA presidential ticket in the
spring elections when they filed
last Wednesday for the race.

Comett‘s withdrawing has pre-
sented some problems for SGA
elections officials.

SGA Elections Board Chairman
Jim Kruspe said there is no specific
procedure for a candidate's with-
drawal from the election.

“From what I have been able to
gather, he can withdraw. but his

name can‘t be
taken off the bal-
lot,“ Kruspe
said.

He said the Comett-Beckett ticket
will be covered on the ballot and
signs will be placed at polling plac-
es informing students that the ticket
has withdrawn.

“All we can
do is cover up
the names — we BECKETT
hope that stu-
dents will know not to vote for
him." Kruspe said.

 

Votes for Cornett may be thrown
out, he said. Ilowcver. Kruspe will
not make a definite decision about

 

what to do with those voles before
checking further into election proce-
dures. He will seek SGA secretary
Mary Jo Scheurich‘s opinion today.

Comett stepped down from his
position as Kentucky Kernel editori-
al editor and relinquished his duties
as chairman of the Kentucky Kernel
editorial board when he entered the
presidential race last week.

Both Comett and Kentucky Ker-
nel Editor in (Thief Victoria Martin
said Cornett will not resume his rc-
sponsibilities at the newspaper until
the SGA elections are completed.

ter the race due to the fact that I got

conflict of interest.

FRANKFORT, Ky. — UK's pro-
posed $58 million library project
got a boost Friday when the state
Senate passed its budget. including
authorization in 1994 to sell bonds
to pay for the building.

The Senate’s approval. though, is
not a guarantee. A budget passed by
the House specifically stated that

funding cannot be provided after.

I993 unless approved by the next
General Assembly. which meets in
1994.

Differences over the UK library,
education funding and fees for air
pollution emissions could be points
of contention as House and Senate
negotiators shape a final version of
the next state budget.

In most areas. the two plans are
identical. And they have drawn
scant comment from lawmakers ex-
cept for complaints about how little
money there is for new proyects or
programs.

That was the mood in the Senate
Friday morning as Sen. Mike Mol-

oney (D-Lexington). the veteran
chairman of the Appropriations and
Revenue Committee, explained dif-
ferences between the House and
Senate spending plans for some
$11 billion in General Fund and
Road Fund dollars in the next two
years.

Those differences will be re-
solved in a closed conference com-
mittee of representatives and sena-
tors who will begin meeting by the
middle of this week.

Gov. Brereton Jones' proposed
budget authorized UK to begin de-
sign work on the library using 812
million raised privately by the
school. The proposal also indicated
plans' to provide state funding
through a bond issue in the 1994-96
biennium.

However, the Home version re-
moved the promise of funding.

stated Jones commitment and au-
thorized UK to sell bonds for the
project beginning in I994.

When the Wildcat Brigade
forms on the lawn of the Admin-
istration Building Wednesday to
commemorate the 75th anniver-
sary of UK‘s Army ROTC pro-
gram. it will be a much different
unit from its counterpart of I9I7.

In l9l7. cadets in the newly»
formed UK Army ROTC pro-
gram were training for World
War I.

Only a year before. Congress
passed the National Defense Act
that provided for a Reserve Off i-
cers‘ Training Corps at colleges
and universities. Its purpose was
to provide the military with a
ready pool of trained. college-
educated officers who could be
called to active duty in time of
war.

Seventy-five years later. the
UK program still is turning out
leaders, although in less tumultu-
ous times. and is the largest
Army ROTC program in the
state.

In honor of the unit‘s success.
Maj. Gen. Robert DeZam, Adju~
tant General for Kentucky. will
present a proclamation to the UK
program from Gov. Brereton
Jones at 3:30 pm, Wednesday.
The presentation will be made

during the anniversary ceremo-
ny.

A good indicator of the UK
program's success is the unusual-
Iy high number of graduating ca-
dets who have been given com-
missions in the active-duty
Army.

fairs officer for UK’s Anny
ROTC detachment, said usually

fewer than I0 percent of the stu-
dents nominatcd receive regular

Army appointments by the presi-
dent and Congress. The UK pro-
gram’s class of I992 far sur-
passed this figure. Blum said.

While the military is facing

cutbacks, Blum says UK‘s pro
gram remains strong, and the
number and quality of students
entering still is high.
Those numbers include more
and more women. Today, wom-
en make up about 20 percent of
UK’s Army program. and Blum
said they tend to be among the
top ROTC students scholastical»
ly.

Among the program‘s distin»
guished alumni. the UK program
counts:

-Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler.
who commanded the |(l(lth Divi-
sion of the Army Reserves in
Kentucky

-Brig. Gen. James B. Hayes.
commanding general of the US.
Army Troop Support Agency

-Retired Maj. Gen. Hugh M.
Milton ll, former Undersecretary
of the Army for Manpower and
Reserve Forces

UK‘s Army ROTC detach~
ment also boasts veterans of the
Vietnam War. the invasion of
Grenada, and Operation Desert
Storm.

assessment programs under the
1990 Education Reform Act in the
coming school year. The House
moved that program back a year to
howls of protest from Education
Commissioner Thomas Boysen.

The Senate returned to the sched-
ule Jones suggested.

The House had taken the assess-
ment money, and also the elimina-
tion of regional school service cen-
ters. and moved most of it into
extended school services. such as
summer school.

However. the Senate version calls
for testing under the schedule Jones
proposed.

The House also had cut almost in
half an administration proposal to
increase the fees businesses pay for
air emission permits. The Senate
budget returned to the Jones fee
schedule.

But House Speaker Don Bland-
ford (D‘Philpot) said representa-
tives are not inclined to go along.
“We feel very strongly about the
lower fees," Blandford said.

State Senate approves budget; UK library gets boost

One issue left out of both ver-
sions of the budget is the Depart-
ment of Education's contention that
there are thousands more students
in Kentucky than an official head-
count indicated.

Lawmakers are quite skeptical of
new figures, especially because
they were offered many months af-
ter the original count and because
the department cannot specifically
identify where the additional stu-
dents attend school.

But the department insists it Will

take millions more in local school
funding or a reduction elsewhere to
make up the difference.

Senate President Pro Tem John
“Eek" Rose (D-Winchester) is still
skeptical. “Even if you had the
money to fund it, where would you
send it?" he asked.

The House budget plan, House
Bill 468, passed 35-l with one abs
stention. Sen. Tim Shaughnessy (D-
Louisville) voted against it anti Sen.
Tim Philrxn (R-Lexington) passed.

Now the last of the leftovers. Pel-
phrey. Woods. Deron Feldhaus and
Richie Farmer reached their senior
year and no one even bothered to
ask what the goal was.

“In college athletics. you usually
have four chances to go to the
NCAA Tournament." Pelphrey
said. “It turned out for us that
we’ve only got one."

Pitino wanted to make the tour-
nament field in the beginning. That
would make him happy and more
importantly, it would give the fans
something tangible in the way of
progress.

But as the wins mounted and the
Cats beat teams like Indiana. Louis-
ville and Alabama, serious talk of
an SEC title and the NCAA Final
Four surfaced. They one-bettered
the |990~9I season by winning 23
games and losing six.

They won the SEC Tournament
easily and anticipation built for the
opening round of the toumament.
The biggest story in UK basketball
had reached its peak.

“We didn‘t think we‘d be at this
pornt this quickly." Feldhaus said.

Even Pitino missed coming to the
Big Dance.

“The NCAA Tournament is JUSl
special." Pitino said. “There‘s a tre-
mendous cxcnement in the air for

The question now. despite two
victories in Worcester over Old [)0-
minion and IoWa State. is whether a
team with virtually no toumament
experience can go the distance.

UK fans would be happy with
nothing less.

“I think at Kentucky the pressure
is so great each game out because
you have I million coaches. you
have 24,000 people that you play in
front of. you have intense media
coverage. you have people that yust
think about basketball all the time."
Pitino said. “They place it not quite
ahead of religion but on the same
level."

As the story winds down. the left-
overs are exhausting every opportu-
nity to enjoy the moment.

“It‘s been a long time coming for
us." Farmer said. “Finally. it's here
and everybody was really looking
forward to it."

But anxiety accompanies the ex-
citement as the end nears.

“For the four seniors, it‘s do or
die every time you go out there
now." Farmer said. “I mean you ei-
