Duke leads, favorites follow at NCAA
Duke 81,
Seton Hall 69
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -
Duke kept alive its hopes of a sec
ond straight national champi
onship and a fifth straight Final
Four by avoiding its biggest road
block Thursday night.
The Blue Devils, who were No.
1 from start to finish in the regular
season, beat No. 19 Seton Hall 81-
69 in the East Regional semifinals
and now face Kentucky Saturday
night.
A win over the Wildcats
would send Duke to Minneapolis
and that fifth consecutive Final
Four.
On a night when the big scor
ers didn't score, Duke (31-2) used
a balanced attack to beat the team
coach Mike Krzyzewski had indi
cated he feared the most in his-
bracket.
Seton Hall, which beat Duke in
the national semifinals in 1989,
trailed 44-42 with 16:42 to play on
a jumper in the lane by Terry De-
here.
Duke then took off on a 15-4
run, with four different players
scoring to take a 59-46 with 12:10
left.
Kentucky 87,
UMass 77
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Ken
tucky couldn't hit the 3s, so the
Wildcats made the most of a T.
No. 6 Kentucky capitalized on
a technical foul call against Mas
sachusetts coach John Calipari and
overcame poor 3-point shooting to
defeat the 17th-ranked Minutemen
87-77 in Thursday night's East Re
gional semifinals.
Jamal Mashburn had 30 points
for Kentucky, which has lived by
the 3-pointer this season but made
just three of 15 against Mas
sachusetts.
Third-seeded Massachusetts
made five 3-pointers.
Indiana 85,
Florida State 74

these kids are not failures. They have worked ex
tremely hard to be winners."
Leading scorer David Edwards came to the fore
front of a team that desperately needed a leader. He
had his struggles as he tried to find his leadership
role. Some of those struggles sent him to the bench
early.
Edwards found his groove toward the end of a
season that he can't help but laugh at when looking
back.
"What happened to us this year was crazy if you
sit back and look at it," Edwards said.
"A couple of games that we were supposed to
win would have turned this season around. I think
we should learn from this, and we should be better
next year.
"Nobody who ever came to see us play could say
that we just gave up or that we never went out fight
ing. That sums up our whole year."
Damon Johnson felt first-hand the problems that
accompanied the Aggies this season, with his foot in
jury in January. Even more agonizing to him than
the incessant losses was having to sit out and watch
his teammates play for six weeks.
Johnson keeps some faith in the expression that
through adversity comes strength.
"Like everybody knows, we had a lot of adversity
all through the season," he said. "Overall, I'm not re
ally pleased with the season, but I think we've grown
up a lot, and we've grown together as a team. I think
that's going to help out in the long run."
Right now, the long run is A&M's saving grace.
Aside from the loss of seniors Shedrick Anderson
and Anthony Ware, the entire team will be a year
older and a year more experienced.
Already, the Aggies have shown that this is a
team that can compete with the Alabamas, the Hous-
tons, and the Texases. The next step is to translate
hard work and determination into victories. That
would make this season worth the sacrifice.

A&M head coach Tony Barone shows!aTw
deal of frustration in the Aggies' 6-22 season.
"The learning process is something that*
hopefully have gone through this year, andtkcfl
cept of how you win and how you build a prog®
based on the long-term haul, and not theshorttens
Barone said. "The real issue is - Have we laidafoi
dation of respectability and credibility for A&Mk
ketball?"
That is the question.

they could not come. The NCAA,
in effect, had all but cut Barone's
throat when it came to asking ath
letes to become Aggies.
"We had worked extremely
hard from May through the sum
mer into the beginning of the year
to sign kids," Barone said. "We
had to tell two kids, 'No, we don't
have the scholarships.'"
Barone's 6-22 team had 10
scholarship players when it began
the season, but three of those were
expecting to graduate after the
season. By the middle of Decem
ber, junior college transfer Eric
Hawthorne and freshman Kevin
Barker had left the team for per
sonal reasons.
That left the coach with six
scholarship athletes, a handful of
walk-ons, and two freshmen on
the way. Simple addition told
Barone and the A&M program
they would have eight scholar
ships to play next season, com
pared to the 14 that programs not
under NCAA punishment are al
lowed to have.
The NCAA is continuing to cut
down on all of those programs.
Schools will be allowed only 13
during the 1993-94 season, a pro
gressive cut over three years from
the original number of 15.
Barone's hands have been tied
when it comes to the five scholar
ships given up by the graduating
seniors and the two players who
quit. Tedi Zalesky, A&M's Direc
tor of Intercollegiate Athletic
Compliance, said the punishment
handed down by the NCAA is set
in stone, and A&M must eat those
scholarships in the coming year.
"The penalty specifically states
what they (A&M) are allowed to
offer for the next year," Zalesky
said. "There were not acceptable
standards for people who leave or
transfer or quit.
"No matter what happens,
they're stuck with the sanctions
that were handed down."
So Barone and his staff are
spending the offseason making
trips to the homes and schools of
high school juniors, trying to pro
mote the positive aspects of a pro
gram that is playing under the
cloud of the NCAA.
"We've been doing it all year
because we haven't been able to
recruit seniors all year," Barone
said. "We've gathered informa
tion, test scores, grades, etc.,onj
niors that a lot of peopled®
have because they haven'll#
able to spend any time doingfe

"I'm looking for guys#
