The Rockets snapped a four- game losing streak to the Knicks and broke New York’s four-game win ning streak. All eyes were on Barkley and Oakley early in the game. Oakley body-slammed Barkley to the floor during an exhibition game in October and received a two-game suspension and $10,000 fine. Barkley drew a one-game suspen sion and $5,000 fine. Barkley talked more trash than usual and domi nated the matchup in the first half, scoring 24 points Barkley as the Rockets quickly established command aE opened a 63-43 halftime lead. “1 wanted to kill Oakley for what he did in the press son,” Barkley said in a post-game inverviewonTNI. Asked what caused Oakley to have such animosis for him, Barkley replied: “It’s that steroid thing, goes crazy at times.” The Knicks made a mild charge at the beginning) the third quarter, scoring the first seven points to cu Houston’s lead to 63-50. Allan Houston hit the firsttw baskets and John Starks followed with a 3-pointer befoit Hakeem Olajuwon scored seven points over a foii’ minute span to keep the Knicks down. Barkley hit his first nine free throws and lit Rockets finished 21-of-24 at the line. The Rocket! also shot 9-of-23 on 3-point baskets, including3-of 5 by Clyde Drexler. Chris Childs led the Knicks with 19 points Houston and Patrick Ewing each added 13 points. SANTA M( — In his civil has employee themes that g Hflmurder: clai corruption a of evidence. But a ne added — cred Simpson h bility again Brown Simps to believe hi Tigers push Bears back in cave COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — After a prolonged absence, the home court advantage was back at Missouri. ‘T had a pretty good time tonight, really,” Jason Sutherland said after scoring 19 points to help the Tigers end a school-record four-game home conference los ing streak with an 82-66 victory over Baylor on Tuesday night. “I think everyone was out there having fun. We were just relaxing.” Kelly Thames led an early-sec ond half run that put the game away and Tyron Lee added 18 points for Missouri (9-7, 1-3 Big 12), which also had begun the conference schedule with three losses overall for the first time since 1985. In the first three Big 12 games, Missouri never led by more than six points. In fact, the Tigers had n’t led by more than 10 points since beating Southern 111-69 on Dec. 30. “You know, when you lose a couple, three games it’s hard to come out sometimes, coacl Norm Stewart said. "It does some thing to your confidence. ‘T think the second half w really put some things together. Sutherland had four 3-pointen and made 5 of 6 free throws when he was fouled behind the 3-poini line, then added a layup late in the game. Missouri was a season- ll-for-21 from 3-point range, with Tyron Lee also hitting four scoring 16 points, and Baylor made eight 3-pointers. Davis Continued from Page 10 “I thought the game would be the same as it was in high school,” Davis said. “But it’s a lot more intense and physical.” Davis took a big step in improving his skills this summer when he competed for the United States on the Nike All-Star Team in the William Jones Cup International Tournament in Taipei, Taiwan. The round-robin competition pitted Davis and his team, which included eight players from the Atlantic Coast Conference and one from the Big East, against professional national teams from 10 different countries. "It was a good experience,” Davis said. “I had to improve the physical part of my game because I was playing against professionals.” Barone said , Davis’ opportu nity to play with and against such talented players was invaluable for his future. "Playing with those guys from the ACC really improved his game,” Barone said. “You can see the impact that experience made on his skills.” Davis lead the William Jones Cup team in rebounding (6.6) and field goal percentage (76 percent) Davis and was second in scoring (10.8) and blocked shots (0.6). “I was lucky to get the chanceto play for Nike,” Davis said. “1 learned some things playing (over seas) that I couldn’t learn here.” Barone said the next step for Davis will be becoming more vocal on the floor. "Calvin is a leader in the way he plays, but he’s not a vocal guy," Barone said. “But he has said a few words to us this season and I’m expecting him to get more and more vocal as the season goes on." Davis said he just wants to contribute to the teams improvements. “I’ll just go out and rebound. score and block shots," he said. “I think that’s what I do best for my team.” Ni De Thirty marriage anc of abuse.

That pushed me. This experience made it that much better when I Aggies Continued from Page 10 came back.” And she is. Alexander is averaging 21 minutes, 9 points and 5 rebounds in her first 12 games of collegiate competition. Harvey said she did not expect such progress. “What Kera is doing now is amazing after coming off a total ACL tear less than a year ago,” Harvey said. “She’s still laying in some pain, but her competitive ness won’t let her take a break.” Freshman teammate Prissy Sharpe said Alexander’s work ethic has been an example for the rest of the team to follow. "Kera plays hard every game and plays bigger than she is," Sharpe said. “I don’t think she ever gives less than 100 percenl out there.” Alexander said the ordeal has given her a better perspective on the game. “Sitting on the bench my senior year made me appreciate these four year's I have left to play,” Alexander said. “I give everything I have out there every minute because I know what can happen.

But the truth is, like every other game, youjusi have to go out and play well against the competition. So I look forward to having a nice, clean game anil beat the hell outta t.u.” “I think we’ve matured as a team by having so many close defeats,” Brown said. “We’re right there, and soon we’ll be able to get over the hump.” A big step in getting over the hump would be a Master the ExCet!!!
