Cyclones look
forward to UCLA
Madness
Continued from Page 7
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) —
Next stop for Iowa State: San An
tonio. Next opponent: UCLA, the
most famous four letters in college
basketball, a team that still has
most of the key players from its
1995 national championship club.
A formidable task indeed for
the Cyclones, but one that also
has some side benefits.
“I’m just glad to get to where
it’s warm,” Iowa State guard Jacy
Holloway said. “I’m also excited
to keep playing and I’m glad that
my season and career isn’t done.”
Iowa State earned a berth
against UCLA in the Midwest Re
gional semifinals with a 67-66
victory over Cincinnati on Satur
day. The Cyclones (22-8) will play
the Bruins (23-7) at the Alamod-
ome on Thursday night.
It’s the first appearance in the
round of 16 for Iowa State since
1986 and the first ever for coach
Tim Floyd.
“I’m excited certainly as a first,
but the main reason I’m excited is
I don’t want to leave this basket
ball team right now,” Floyd said. “I
just love working with them every
single day. It’s going to be really
tough telling this group goodbye.
“Fortunately, we’ll be able to
practice with them another week.”
Second-seeded UCLA ad
vanced with a 96-83 victory over
Xavier. The Bruins have eliminat
ed Iowa State from the NCAA tour
nament twice in recent years.
Against the Fighting Illini (22-10),
UTC finished with a 20-4 spurt to put
the game away. The Mocs became
only the second No. 14 seed to reach
the final 16, joining Cleveland State
in 1986.
WillieYoung led UTC with 15 points
and the Mocs held a commanding 39-
21 advantage on the boards.

Coppin State, which became
one of only three No. 15 seeds to
ever win a tournament game with
a win over South Carolina on Fri
day, trailed by
Freeman
10 at the
break. But the
Eagles
opened the
second half
with a 10-4
run led by
guard Danny
Singletary,
who had two
steals, took a
charge and converted a 3-point
play after a layup in a 2:30 span.
Guard Antoine Brockington’s
fallaway 3-point shot with 13:17
left gave Coppin State its first
lead, at 56-53, since the first half
minute of the game.
Freeman then scored 12
straight points for Texas (18-11)
to put the Longhorns ahead 67-
61. Brockington responded
with back-to-back dunks, one
off a diving Singletary steal, to
make the score 75-73 with four
minutes left.
Brockington finished with 27
points on 11-of-15 shooting to
lead Coppin State, a Baltimore
school so small it had to borrow
a band from nearby Morgan
State for the tournament.
The crowd at the Civic Arena
favored smaller but feistier
Coppin State over the cocky
Longhorns and gave the Eagles
and coach Ron “Fang” Mitchell
a standing ovation on their way
to the locker room. Texas’
Brandy Perryman had yelled
before the game to Eagles’ fans,
“You better cheer now.”
The Longhorns shot 58 per
cent in the game’s first 13:33 and
turned the ball over only once in
that span, compared with Cop
pin State’s seven. Brockington
scored the game’s first points,
but Texas then had a 15-5 run
capped by Dennis Jordan’s un
contested layup.
Warrick’s 3-pointer pulled
the Eagles (22-9) within 10 at
38-29 in the first half, and Sin
gletary’s layup off his own steal
and subsequent jumper made
it 42-39 at 3:34. Texas respond
ed with eight points, including
Jordan’s tip-in and free throw
with 25 seconds left, to lead 49-
39 at the half.
Ben Caton
added 12
points for the
Utes (28-3),
who won
their 13th
straight and
reached the
final 16 for the
second \
straight year.
Tremaine
Gardiner led the
49ers (22-9) with 14
