Arizona coach sticks up
for ’Cats’ tourney success
F
J Nolan
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Coach
Lute Olson is proud that his Arizona
team is the representative of the Pa
cific-10 Conference in the NCAA Fi
nal Four, and he doesn’t mind tak
ing potshots at those back East.
“How many teams east of the Mis
sissippi are in the Final Four?” Olsen
asks, knowing full well that only
Duke from the East will be joining
Arizona, Kansas and Oklahoma in
Saturday’s Final Four.
In reaching its highest-ever bas
ketball heights, Arizona has gone a
long way toward shedding its image
as a “yes-but” team.
The “yes-but” stigma was all too
prevalent this season, even amid the
unprecedented media attention that
the Wildcats drew. Their success —
the team is currently 35-2 — has
kept them ranked among the na
tion’s top three teams since mid-De
cember.
It worked this way:
• Yes, the Wildcats are good, but
they play in the Pac-10.
• Yes, they beat Michigan, Syra
cuse, Iowa and Duke; but that was
early in the season.
• Yes, they’ve made ii into the
NCAA tournament each year since
1985, but why did they lose in the
first round of the big dance each
time?
They finally may have dispelled a
lot of those questions on the way to
their first-ever Final Four berth in
Kansas City by dispatching North
Carolina by 18 points on Sunday.
The Wildcats came into the
NCAA tournament with a Pac-10
Tournament championship in which
they .were largely untested. But it
undoubtedly was the beating admin
istered to North Carolina's highly re
spected . Far Heels, the epitome of
Fast Coast establishment basketball,
that dispelled what remaining
doubters there have been to Arizo
na’s season-long claim to legiti-
as a top collegiate power.
So far at the NCAA shindit
Wildcats have played their

all over the other guys.

Sooners take everything in stride C(
including Arizona’s powerful stats af'
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Arizona
has compiled very impressive num
bers enroute to its semifinal meeting
with Oklahoma in the Final Four.
The No. 3 Wildcats have played
37 games and won 35. In those victo
ries, they have beaten their oppo
nents by an average of nearly 22
points. They turn the ball over
slighly more than 12 times a game,
and their ball-handling guard, Steve
Kerr, averages fewer than one turn
over per game.
The Wildcats protect the ball well,
shoot well, play strong defense, and
can get up and down the floor.
All that seems to underwhelm < )k
lahoma Coach Billy Tubbs, whose
fourth-ranked Sooners play Arizona
Saturday in Kansas City.
“What that means is they do a
great job of handling the ball,” said
Tubbs. “We’ve run into teams like
that. Some teams are harder to force
into mistakes than other teams, and
Arizona appears to be one ol those,
but we’re just going to have to go out
there and see.”
Oklahoma has compiled a 34-3 re
cord by using a suffocating, lull-
court defense to force turnovers and
quicken the pace of the game.
Sooner opponents turned it over
893 times and had the ball stolen on
4ti5 occasions.
“Remember, Louisville only made
one turnover in the first half against
BYU. They made 22 in two halves
against us,” Tubbs said.
“What happened in the last game
or the rest of the games this year,
you can throw that out the window.
This is another game, and we’re
going to test them and see il they can
handle it. We’re not going to change
our game plan,” Tubbs said.
Tubbs has always said he does not
concern himself with what other
teams do — only with what his team
does. However, he had to pay atten
tion to what Villanova didu
Sooners in the championshipn.

Manning not only player
Devils are worried about
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — One
would think Duke’s practice Tues
day would focus on trying to stop
Kansas All-American Danny Man
ning, but Coach Mike Krzyzewski
said it’s the Jayhawks four other
starters the Blue Devils must worry
about.
Krzyzewski said the Blue Devils
didn’t stop Manning when the 6-
foot-11 senior scored 31 points and
f rabbed 12 rebounds in Duke’s 74
0 overtime victory in February, so
there’s no reason to think they can
stop him in the NCAA Tournament
semifinal game Saturday in Kansas
City, Mo.
“You can’t ever say to a great
player, ‘Let him have what he’s
going to have,’ ” Krzyzewski said.
“A great player thinks that he can
have everything — and rightfully so.
“I think you have to make Man
ning earn everything and not let him
have everything.
“And when you're making him
earn everything not to loose track of
the other guys.”
One of those other guys is 6-2 ju
nior Scooter Barry, son of NBA Ilall
of Famer Rick Barry.
Averaging only 3.4 points, the
guard hit foi 15 against Kansas State
in the Midwest Regional finals.
“What a great performance,”
Krzyzewski said about Barry’s effort
against Kansas State. “It s there, are
you going to step forward to shoot
it? Are you going to step forward
and shoot it and make it? He did
both of those things.”
The Duke coach also mentioned
6-4 junior Milt Newton and 6-3
sophomore Kevin Pritchard as “ca
pable players . . . scoring-wise.”

ning gets Kodak
er-of-year honors
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — T he
kid was tall and gangly, but remark
ably quick and well coordinated for
his age.
said retired Kansas State Coach Jack
Hartman, who presented the
Eastman Award.
At 10, he overmatched every
other youngster on the playground
and was getting, naturally, a rather
inflated opinion of his himself.
That’s when Darnelle Manning
stepped in.
“Danny,” she said, “the world
does not revolve around you. You’re
just part of a revolving world.”
The kid listened to his mom. It
was a philosophy that was practiced
in the Manning household, not just
preached.
Manning was a member of the
1986 Kansas team that lost to Duke
in an opning Final Four game. Duke
then lost to Louisville for the na
tional championship.
Manning enters the 50th Final
Four as the seventh all-time leading
scorer in NCAA history with 2,895
points.
And it became a part of the fabric
of his personality.
Tuesday afternoon, Danny Man
ning accepted the Eastman Kodak
trophy as college basketball player of
the year.
He’s scored in double figures in
52 straight games.
In leading his injury-weakened
team to this improbable plateau, he’s
averaging 26.8 points and seven re
bounds a game.
As this latest award was given to
the Big Eight’s all-time scoring
leader, speakers praised his athletic
ability and unselfish attitude on the
court, and Darnelle Manning stood
nearby wearing a proud smile.
As Kansas prepares to meet Duke
Saturday in the semifinals of the
NCAA Tournament — Manning’s
second Final Four appearance in a
brilliant four-year career at Kansas
— that same unselfish attitude fig
ures to be one of the best things
going for the Jayhawks.
His list of achievements and ac
complishments stretch on and on.
But the lessons he learned as a
youngstei have taken deep root.
“People talk about basketball play
ers being unselfish and being willing
to give up the ball if somebody else
has a better shot, but that really does
describe Danny,” said Archie Mar
shall, Manning’s closest friend on
the team and a victim of a career
ending knee injury at mid-season.
“Danny really does care about
other people. He’s never been hung
up on myself.”
“Danny Manning makes other
players around him better players,”
Many experts predict Manning
will be the first player chosen in the
next NBA draft.
Everyone agrees that a long, suc
cessful career as a professional
awaits the versatile athlete.
