“In fact, mathematics develops continuous-

Last night’s game between UK and the
University of Louisville featured a trio of
sharpshooters who burned the nets all night
long.

Wildcat sophomore forward Shaunda
Roberts led all scorers with 31 points, one
point shy of her career high earlier this year
against Syracuse. Louisville’s star guard
countered Robert’s performance scoring 24
points in the second half to finish
with a team—high 29.

But the biggest shot of the night
may have come during intermission.

Marketing senior Mike (iuelcber hit a
halfcourt shot that netted him a tuition-free
semester. The Ion r-range shooting contest
was sponsored by t e UK “'omen‘s Basket-

and VVDKY’s Akemi Takei.

Five students were selected at random to
take a shot at the prize — free tuition for
one semester.

And after three students netted nothing
by air, Guelcher took his shot and afterward
explained his winnin strategy.

“You just get up tEere and throw it up —

For the Wildcats, it was their second

Heading into tournament time, UK
coach Bernadette Locke—Mattox is
starting to see light at the end of a mostly
dark first season.

The Cats are now 7—17, 2—8 in the
Southeastern Conference.

“I think (the U of L win) is a big plus in
that things are starting to come to ether for
(the players),” Locke-Mattox sai . “VVe’ve
got a little bit of momentum and I hope to
continue that momentum.”

UK plays its final SEC game Feb. 24 at
South Carolina, before returning home to
close out the re lar season Feb. 27 against

The victory against Louisville gives UK
a .500 record at home this season at 5—5. By
contrast, it would take a win over the
Gamecocks in Columbia to help the Cats

IRVING, Texas —— Deion
Sanders will announce today he is
temporarily putting his two-sport
career on hold to concentrate on
being the NFL’s only two-way
player, a source told The Associat-
ed Press.

Sanders yesterday announced
through the Dallas Cowboys that
a news conference is scheduled for
noon today at Sanders’ new club,
“Prime Time 21.”

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
and coach Barry Switzer are to
attend.

Sanders, who doesn't have a
baseball contract, has decided not
to try latching on with a team in
time for spring training so he can
spend more time with his wife and
two children at their new $2 mil-
lion homc in north Dallas.

Sanders, who made $2.5 mil-
lion playing baseball last season,

probabl won’t give up baseball

or goo . Instead, he'll take a year

. -,.,,_ ._ __-_._ .._ . . .....,

Sanders wants to polish his
skills as a wide receiver by workin
out with Cowboys quarterbaci
Troy Aikman, who has said
Sanders could be one of the NFL’s
elite receivers with more practice.

Sanders signed a $35 million
deal with Dallas last season, then
played nine regular-season games
once the baseball season ended.

Sanders be n last baseball sea-
son with the incinnati Reds, then
was traded to the San Francisco
Giants. The Giants allowed him
to become a baseball free agent
when they didn’t offer him arbi-
tration.

Sanders’ Dallas debut was
delayed last fall because of surgery
to repair an ankle injury sustained
while plzymg baseball.

The owboys need Sanders to
be healthy and available for all of
the upcoming football season
because they are thin at corner~

back.

lingers could“ be top center in SEO

By Jason Dattllo
Spam Editor

In Rick Pitirio's opinion, the
best center in the Southeastern
Conference isn’t Mississippi State‘s
Erick Dampier or 'I‘ennessee's
Steve Hamer.

It's Alabama’s Roy Rogers.

The 6—foot—IO senior leads the
SEC in blocked shots with 4.3 a
contest. Rogers, who recorded two
triple—doubles this season, set a new
conference record for blocks in a
game with 14 against Georgia ear—
lier this year.

“He’s probably the third-best
center in college basketball," said
coach Pitino, who placed Mas—
sachusetts’ Marcus (Iamby and
Wake Forest‘s Tirii Duncan ahead
of Rogers. “He without doubt is
going to be a great pro. I look at
this man and I think he could be a
top 10 pick."

Rogers is another in a long line
of Alabama players who have
reported to Tuscaloosa as relative
unknowns and blossomed during
their college years.

The Crimson Tide have eight
players in the NBA, including Los
Angeles Clipper Antonio Mchess,
the second pick overall in last year’s
draft. The list also includes Golden
State Warrior Latrell Sprewell and
Houston Rockets star Robert
Horry.

“I think they obviously do a
great job of evaluating talent," Piti—
no said. “I also think they do a
great job of developing talent."

With a top-notch center in
Rogers and a talented cast of
perimeter players in forward Eric
\Vashington and ruard Marvin
Orange, this A abama team

reminds Pitino of last season’s Mis-
sissippi State team, a squad that
defeated UK at Rupp Arena.

“This is the most dangerous
opponent we've laced." said Pitino,

The biggest difference: The

Anthony Epps started for the first time in eight games Saturday against Tennessee.
The junior point guard solidified his spot in the starting rotation by helping the Cats
get off to a quick start. Meanwhile shooting guard Tony Delk continues to lead the
team in scoring with consistent offensive production. A key to tonight’s game could
be how well the UK backcourt defends against the three. UK coach Rick Pitino said
’Bama has four people who can effectively shoot the three.

FBONICDUBI

Alabama center Roy Rogers —- not the namesake for a chicken restaurant — is the
SEC’s most feared shot blocker. Rogers has recorded two triple-doubles this
season, and he set a new SEC record for blocks in a game by rejecting 14 Georgia
shots earlier this season. If the Cats’ offense can neutralize Alabama‘s biggest
weapon by keeping the ball away from Rogers.

The UK bench is an ever-changing entity, with nine Cats starting at least one game
this season. With no player on the UK roster averaging more than 26 minutes a
contest, even the best see some time on the pine.

Alabama has eight players in the NBA, including Houston Rockets standout Robert
Horry. The former Crimson Tide player now has a genre of players named after
him. Pitino calls the Cats' Walter McCarty a Robert Harry-like player because both
Horry and the UK forward can shoot the three and drive the lane for the slam.

BBSIIIBIIIS angered DVBI‘ Indian hunting I‘IQIIIS

Desserault and three friends
slowed their snow mobiles to

watch a herd of elk that were
drawn to a state»operated feeding
station. As they turned a corner,
they saw a dead elk. shot by a
Yakama Indian hunter, in the back
ofa truck.

“To hunt is one thing, but to
watch them eat .it what should be
a safe place and then say, ‘I guess

I’ll take that one‘ just seems
wrong," [)esserault said.

The Ian. 17 killing of two bull
elk near the feeding station has set
off protest meetings and letter—
