In the
span of less
than five
months UK's
Team Talent
quickly trans-
formed into
Team Tumult.

Injuries.
suspensions.
more injuries.
more suspen-
sions. fights
and more suspensions drew more com
parisons to the 1978 “Bronx Zoo" New
York Yankees than the 1996 Cats. who
many predicted these Cats could surpass.

The first blow to the 2002 Cats‘ confi-
dence befell Coach Tubby Smith's squad
when sophomore center Jason Parker re-
tore his anteriorcruciate ligament min-
utes before Midnight Madness.

Then. senior point guard J .P. Blevins
suffered a sprained ankle in the final pre-
season game and a broken wrist against
Indiana. He missed 12 games.

Next. freshmen Rashaad Carruth and
Adam Chiles were suspended the first
two games for breaking team rules. It
wouldn‘t be the team's final suspensions.
or Carruth‘s for that matter.

Enough with the rap sheet. though.
The memories are not refreshing and
every Cat hound in the Bluegrass is well
aware of the disturbances that have
plagued Smith and his team all
season.

Point is. a team that was expect-
ed to contend with Duke, Maryland.
Kansas and a select corps of top
teams had more trouble getting
dressed for games than actually
playing them.

Team Talent became a troubled
unit with more chemistry problems
than CHE 105.

Junior All-Southeastern Confer-
ence guard Keith Bogans became a
former All-SEC guard because of
his drop in production.

In relation. reigning SEC Play-
er of the Year Tayshaun Prince lost
his crown because he had no one to
help him hold court.

Still. Team Tumult is in the same

Tubby Smith has not had the easiest of
seasons as UK's top authority on basket-
ball, but he has still managed to guide the
Cats to another zo-wln season and an
assured NCAA Tournament berth.

JESSE LEBUS l mm STAFF

Celebrating 30 years of independence

I Cats enter tournaments
* tryng to find chemistry

position the Cats are almost always in:
awaiting an opponent to play on the first
Friday of March in the SEC Tournament.

No SEC regular season title. Only a
three-way tie for best record in the East.

But UK is still a favorite to win its
24th SEC Tournament Championship
and ninth in eleven years. A No. 2 seed in
the NCAA Tournament is still conceiv-
able, too.

A national championship. though.
might be a stretch unless all the woes
that distracted the Calamity Cats are for
gotten and forgiven by one another.

Regardless. the Cats in the present
are still the same group of capable bas-
ketball stars that began the season with
such high hopes and praise.

It‘s too late to win the SEC regular
season title.

It‘s too late to
earn All-American
and All-confer-
ence honors. It's
too late to go
undefeated.

But it's not
too late to final-
ly solve the
C h e m i s t r y
equation.

   

The Cats may have wasted a chance
to win all the awards and all the trophies.
but the beauty of the NCAA Tournament
is that only six games matter.

They've only had one six-game win~
ning streak all season.

And as unlikely as it may seem that a
team with as many countless distractions
could win the NCAA title. just look back
to the “Bronx Zoo" World Series champs.

As easily as Team Talent
transformed into Team Tumult. it can
just as easily transcend into
Team Triumph.

Sophomore center Jason Parker tore his anterior-cruciate ligament in the
summer and again betore Midnight Madness. The injury eliminated any
chance of returning to the team before the end of the season.

Junior guard Keith
Bogans has been
the most disap-
pointing Cat on the
court this season.
His averages
dropped in nearly
every statistical
category. His NBA
Draft stock plum-
meted, also.

Freshman sharpshooter Rashaad Carruth complained about playing time dur-
ing the season while Coach Tubby Smith complained mostly about Carruth's
defense and attitude. He improved when all three changed for the better.

J.P. Blevins missed
much of the season
because of injuries
to his ankle and
wrist. The senior
began the season
as UK's starting
point guard but was
iorced into a back-
up role behind
sophomore Cliii
Hawkins. Blevins
missed 12 games
and started tour.

Gerald Fitch was
one oi UK's most
consistent contrib-
utors all season,
but a tight with
sophomore Cory
Sears resulted in a
one-game suspen-
sion. Then, Fitch
and sophomore
Erik Daniels were
cited lor trying to
enter a Lexington
bar with take "is
and missed action
in two more games.
But in the season
ilnale, Fitch deliv-
ered with a game-
winning 3-pointer
against Florida to
secure a first-
round bye in the
SEC Tournament.

NCAAOUTLOOK

Feel like dancin': A preview of this year's top teams competing for a National title

Player of the
Year

Duke's Jason Williams was
pre-ordained NCAA Player of
the Year before the season
ever started. but his ability is
Impossible to deny. The
junior was the most sought-
after MBA prospect last sea-
son, but returned to pursue a
second consecutive National
title. Williams averaged 2L4
points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.3
assists per game. He might
have scored more if he was
not on a team that possesses
live players who average at
least nine points per game.
When games mattered, he
took them over, scoring 38
points in an overtime win
against UK in December and
34 In Duke's win over Mary-
land. Williams was selected
by the Sportsdaily staff as
Player of the Year, lollowing
former Duke teammate Shane
Battidf, who was consensus
Player of the Year last sea-
son. Williams will graduate
from Duke in three years and
declare for June's NBA draft.

The 200i champs enioyed a stellar
season. but two conference losses to
Florida State and Virginia cost them
the ACC crown. The Blue Devils are
beatable, especially when Player of
the Year Jason Williams is not making
shots from outside. The Blue Devils
rely on the 3'pointer too much, but
their deadly shooting is what makes
them so dominant and what won them
a National title last season.

Williams

Kansas

The Jayhawks finished the regular
season with an unblemished i6-0 Big
12 record. Kansas' only losses came
to Ball State and UCLA. KU is riding a
i4-game winning streak. Ail-American
Drew Gooden is a force inside. and
Kirk Hinrich and Jeff Boschee are
both dead-eye shooters. KU is deep
and has all the tools to win the
school's sixth National title. The big-
ger question is whether Coach Roy
Williams can win his first.

Cincinnati

The Bearcats enjoyed another stellar
regular season with only three losses.
UC's success was unexpected this sea-
son and mostly because of the im-
provement of Steve Logan, probable
Conference-USA Player of the Year.
DC has the defense to win a National
title, but Logan needs help on offense
(he outscored Southern Mississippi by
himself). UC's biggest problem in the
past has been getting past the first
two rounds and. if its defense fails,
this squad could face the same fate.

Alabama

The Crimson Tide did not even make

the NCAA Tournament last season.

But with a Southeastern Conference
Tournament Championship Mark Got-

tfried's team could knock Cincinnati

out of the final No. 1 seed. Slashing

forward Rod Grizzard and bruising re-
bounder Erwin Dudley formed one of

the best duos in the conference.

Freshman point guard Maurice

Williams was the player that put Al-

abama over the top. Alabama typically ~V
struggles if Grizzard overshoots. Grizzard

The two things on his mind were great journalism schools and great basketball programs.”

- QUCK RYAN, DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AT UK

mafia. ,,./ ,

Freshman iorward Chuck Hayes is
excelling on and oil the court at
UK. Hayes is a journalism major,
and he plans to work as a broad-
caster atter his playing career.

cums ROSEHTHAL 1 mm STAFF

By Vlill Hesser
SPORISDAILY EDITOR

When applied to college basketball, the term
student-athlete is becoming an oxymoron.

Players focus on NBA dollars. and a college de-
gree takes a back seat to a lifelong dream.

UK forward Chuck Hayes' professional aspira-
tions revolve around basketball, too. But the fresh-
man from Modesto, Calif, has a. Plan B — sports
broadcasting.

“Once I’m done playing the game. I want to talk
about it (as a broadcaster).“ Hayes said. “And once
I’m done talking about it. I want to coach it."

Don’t confuse Hayes with the slew of ex-athletes
who have traded their jerseys for a spot in the
broadcast booth.

Hayes interest in journalism is bona fide. He
took journalism classes in high school. his favorite
show is “SportsCenter” and his idol is one of the
program‘s top anchors, Stuart Scott.

Buck Ryan, the director of the school of journal-
ism at UK, talked to Hayes when he visited UK in
October 2000.

“The two things on his mind were great jour-
nalism schools and great basketball programs.“
Ryan said.

UK often schedules meetings for potential re-
cruits with academic officials, but Hayes‘ case is
unique because he requested the meeting.

“I wanted to meet with the communications
guys," Hayes said. “They‘re the people that can help
me get to where I want to be after basketball."

Hayes' other top choice was Kansas. whose bas-
ketball program and journalism school is compara-
ble to UK's.

UK won out through the grace of Smith,

“Coach Smith was just loyal to me." Hayes said.

Freshman forward Chuck Hayes
attempts a shot against Arkansas
Feb. 23. Hayes had 10 points and
six rebounds against the Razor-
backs. He's started live games this
season, including UK's last tour.
Hayes is averaging 5.6 points and
4.2 rebounds per game this season.
In his live starts, Hayes has aver-
aged 9.6 points and 4.5 rebounds.
He recorded a career-high l5 points
against Tennessee Feb. 6. He
grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds
against Marshall Nov. 16. Hayes'
bulk and strength has been critical
to UK's success. He bench presses
295 pounds and sguats 495
pounds.

DWAYN CHAMBERS l mum STAFF

“He didn't pressure me or rush me."

Hayes credits his father for his uncommon fore-
sight.

“My father always told me that things never go
the way you plan them. so I better have something
else to do."

Smith has praised Hayes, calling the 18»yearvold
the “most coachable player on the team."

"He may be the most mature guy on the team."
Smith also said.

Hayes‘ physical maturity matches his mental
maturity. The former All-State football player is 6
feet 7 inches tall and weighs 237 pounds.

Hayes said he didn't envision being a key part
of the team as a freshman because of UK's depth.
But Jason Parker's knee injury. Marvin Stone's
transfer and multiple suspensions have made

Report may emperil Ivy's position

Cleaning up: Official hopes findings begin
to restore confidence in Athletics program

COMPIltD FROM SIAFI. WIRE REPORIS

An investigative report
into UK Athletics coultl result
in the firing of Athletic Director
Larry lvy and many students
say it's needed to clean up UK‘s
maligned sports program.

"There are too many shady
operations in the Athletics De-
partment." said .iosh Wentz. a
civil engineering freshman.

UK's first foal of the year
born

“lvy may not create the prob—
lem. but he is in charge. If he
doesn‘t make changes and rep»
resent the university in a posi-
tive manner, he needs to go.“

President Lee Todd said he
will release the report’s find
ings this week. but UK spokes.
woman Mary Margaret Colliver
said Sunday that the announce-
ment has not been scheduled.

“He has
the recom-
mendat ions
from commit-
tee. and he
will give his
own report."
Colliver said.

Todd ap-
pointed a five-
person mm M
mittee to do a
monthlong probe into the Ath-
letics Department after the
NCAA put UK on probation for
violations in the football pro-
gram. The NCAA cited UK for a

 

lack of institutional control.

Board of Trustees Chair-
man Billy Joe Miles told the
Lexington Herald-Leader
Thursday that the report’s find-
ings could cost Ivy his job.

“The report has got to be
inclusive enough that it re-
stores 100 percent confidence in
our program - that it will be
both competitive and complete-
ly legal and completely open to
the public." Miles said. “I think
that it's not possible to have
those three things if Larry's
the AD."

Miles could not be reached

 

  

A sigh of relief: Foal's health gives hope

(.i’ V“

last year's epidemic won't occur this spring

By Sarah Adams
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Chilling winds and patch-
es of show are not stopping
Winston. UK‘s first foal born
this season. from frolicking
beside his mother through a
pasture ofl‘ Newtown Pike.

Today‘s early morning
hours marked Winston‘s first
week of life. Him surviving
his first week has served as a
relief for many in the horse in-
dustry. The industry is at-
tempting to move out of the
shadow from last year’s Mare
Reproductive Loss Syndrome
that killed an astonishing
number of foals in this area.

“I was nervous about this

foaling season because of
everything that happened
with MRLS last year," said
student farm employee Emily
Salt. “Winston's birth has
eased my nerves though."

MRLS has several re—
searchers at UK wondering
what went wrong last year.
There are no definite causes
for the syndrome, but scien-
tists at the College of Agricul-
ture will be conducting re-
search this spring to look for
answers. One of these studies
will examine the exposure of
pregnant mares to eastern
tent caterpillars.

Hayes attempts to get back in race

This is not
just an
election

question, this
is a legal
question.”
- BEN HAYES.
SG PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL
WHO WAS DISOUALIFIED BY

THE ELECTION BOARD OF
SUPERVISION

 

Haste: Disqualified candidate wants to appeal
directly to Supreme Court, start campaigning

By John Wampler
NEWS EDITOR

 

Wanting to get back on the
ballot quickly. Ben Hayes. Stu-
dent Government presidential
hopeful. is attempting to take
his appeal straight to the 86
Supreme Court. bypassing the
Election Board of Claims.

“We need to get on with
campaigning. we need to get
this out of the way." said
Hayes. whose bid to run for
president was denied by the
Election Board of Supervision
on Thursday.

One of the main claims in

Hayes' appeal is that the experi-
ence clause of the SG Constitu-
tion. which caused the board to
disqualify him. violates the US.
Constitution‘s 14th Amendment
— the right to due process and
equal protection and should
be struck down.

Hayes' other claims also
mention various constitutional
issues; therefore. Hayes said. he
could go directly to the
Supreme Court.

“This is not Just an election
question. this is a Iegal ques-
tion." he said.

Supreme Court Chief .ius-
tice Mitchell Page said the way

 

 

  

the SG Constitution is worded
and the nature of Hayes‘ claims
make the decision of jurisdic-
tion somewhat difficult.

“We need to decide whether
it's proper for us to hear it be-
fore the E‘Board of Claims
hears it." he said.

If the Supreme Court does
decide to hear the case. the ear-
liest they would meet would be
Thursday. Page said.

Hayes hopes to appeal di-
rectly to the Supreme Court. be-
cause he expects the E-Board of
Claims to send the case to the
Supreme Court anyway.

Hayes said that incumbent
President Tim Robinson has
control over the E-Board of
Claims. Robinson denied this.
