LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Sam
Mack scored 30 points, including
the final six points in regulation,
as Houston rallied to defeat Texas
Tech 83-80 in overtime Tuesday
night in the Southwest Confer
ence.
Houston (19-5, 8-3 in the SWC)
has won seven consecutive games
against Texas Tech (13-11, 5-7)
dating back to a 76-74 overtime
victory in Lubbock in 1989.
Tech's Lance Hughes hit a
layup with 11 seconds left in over
time to pull the Red Raiders with
in 82-80. But Houston's Derrick
Daniels hit a free throw with eight
seconds left, and Tech's Lament
Dale missed a 3-pointer off the
front of the rim as time expired.
Mack scored six straight points
in the final minute of regulation to
pull Houston even at 73.
The Red Raiders held for the
last shot, but Moore's 17-foot
jumper ticked off the rim as time
expired, leaving the score tied at
73.
Mack was fouled by Hughes
while shooting a 3-pointer and hit
all three free throws to pull the
Cougars within 73-70 with 52 sec
onds to play.
Derrick Daniels then stole the
ball from Tech's Bryant Moore
and passed to Mack, who hit a 3-
pointer with 34 seconds left.
Houston trailed the entire
game, taking its first lead (75-73)
with 4:36 left in overtime.
Hughes, who scored all of
Tech's seven points in overtime,
led Tech with 26. Will Flemons
added 13 points and 12 rebounds
for the Raiders.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -
David Robinson scored 26 points
and the San Antonio Spurs routed
Miami 123-101 Tuesday night, the

points this season.

minutes.
The Heat, playing without the
injured Glen Rice, got 25 points
from Grant Long and 15 from
Rony Seikaly. Miami, despite the
long list of routs, already has a
franchise-record 26 victories this
season with 27 games remaining.
Leading 61-58 late in the sec

final five points of the half and 10
of the first 13 in the third quarter

shots.

UCLA were undefeated and the
best the nation had to offer.
That was then, this is now.
Duke looked like the team to
beat. They ? were the best team in
the nation for the first couple of
months, led by wonderboy
Christian Laettner. But after
point guard Bobby Hurley was
injured, the Blue Devils have
proved to be mortal. They have
lost two games in the last three
weeks and despite being the
No.l team in the nation, they are
no longer the clear favorite to
win it all.
Oklahoma State has hit the
skids — big time. The Cowboys
were at one time, 20-0, and the
No.2 team in the nation. Now
the Cowboys are 21-5 and seem
to have as many weaknesses as
they do strengths.
UCLA was another team that
looked like they could beat any
one. That was before losses to
USC and Notre Dame.
So what does all this mean?
Simply put, the best teams this
season don't have a clear path to
Minneapolis and the Final Four.
Indiana and Kentucky are a
couple of teams that could be
there, despite lack-luster perfor
mances.
Indiana is a good team. But
they are just plain boring. CBS
better hope the Hoosiers are
eliminated quickly in the tourna
ment or they will viewers will
begin turning channels for more
exciting sources of entertain
ment.
Then there's Kentucky. The
Wildcats struggled early and
people wrote them off. They
don't have a center but there
aren't many teams, outside of
LSU and Georgetown, that really
do. What Kentucky does have is
a bunch of guys who can hit
three pointers, which could take
them a long way come tourna
ment time.
The sleeper team of the tour
nament has to be USC. The Tro
jans have the best player in the
nation this side of Shaquille
O'Neal.
Harold Miner is a junior, do-
everything player. He can score
from outside and isn't afraid to
drive the lane and score from the
paint.
Miner has been compared to
Michael Jordan, which is the ulti
mate compliment in basketball.
Miner even wears the No. 23 on
his jersey. He can carry the Tro
jans a long way.
But there are many teams like
the Trojans out there and this
season, for a change, anyone of
them can leave the "Big Dance"
with a big smile.
