INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Get the VCRs ready. The pace of the NCAA title game promises to be so fast you might need to watch it in slow motion to catch it all. Kentucky and Arizona are quick. No, they’re quicker than that. The pressure won’t be in trying to repeat as national champi on, Kentucky’s aim. And it won’t be winning the crown for the first time, Arizona’s goal. It will come Monday night from defenses that live to force turnovers and cre ate easy baskets. “Our guys like fast- paced games,” Arizona coach Lute Olson said Sun- V day. “It’s going to be like watch ing a tennis match, so people bet ter do some neck exercises before they come in tomorrow night.” Both teams capitalized on their quickness to reach the title game. Kentucky is well-known for the speed it uses in a variety of defenses, which —••'no'av***’ forced 26 turnovers in Saturday’s 78-69 victory over Minnesota in the semifinal. Arizona (24-9), the only non-No. 1 seed in the Final Four, made its move in the NCAA tourna ment with wins over top-ranked Kansas, Providence and North Carolina. “They’ve got incredible quick ness and speed, and they didn’t beat Kansas on a fluke game,” Kentucky coach Rick Pitino said of Arizona. "They beat Kansas because they were > an outstanding team against an outstanding ballclub, and they’ve been that way through out the tournament, and they’ve been that way throughout the season.” Kentucky (35-4) is one win away from becoming the first re peat champion since Duke in 1992, and Pitino would be the seventh coach to win at least two straight titles. His team bears litde resemblance to the one that beat Syracuse for the title last season, except 10 for Ron Mercer, who had 20 points in pionship game as a freshman. Still, Kentucky uses the pressure get things going even if the oppositionlt same strategy. “When teams press us we try to get lay; it,” said Kentucky senior Anthony Epps, liiii me and Wayne Turner both being point:: we have two guards to beat the press and is all five guys to break it. We press eachothei: day in practice, so we know how to handles Arizona freshman point guard Mike: also didn’t sound all that concernedaboc ing pressure. “They like to run. We like to male “Teams that have tried to press us haveonh it a couple of possessions because we ha { ken it every time.Their press is unbelievattM. they keep coming at you because they ■, seem to get tired.” w Kentucky also is impressive that way.! an off night by Mercer, Kentucky foundai score, usually off a turnover or with ninef pointers — two of wl ter Minnesota took it: way through the sec< lich were back-breakl i only lead of the ga mhI half. iIntelligent Dedicated... leincntlllld IF THESE WORDS DESCRIBE YOU Director & Assistant Director Positions for SOUTHWESTERN BLACK STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE ARE STILL OPEN!!!

If you have any questions, call 845-4563. Furtick Continued from Page 7 The bottom line for this team is Johnson. They will score runs, but they will have to be able to keep a lead. Projected Record: 94-68 Key Series: April 1-2 vs. New York Yankees: Opening Day in Seattle against the defending World Series champions. The Mariners get a chance to set the tone for the rest of the season with a two-game sweep of their cross-country rivals. Seattle felt they should have been in the post-season last year — here’s their chance to prove it. ANAHEIM ANGELS The Angel’s 1996 season was just a continuation of their 1995 col lapse when they lost a 10-1/2 game division lead in the last month of the season. But they still have the core of that team who should have made the playoffs in 1995. The outfield is one of baseball’s most promising and talented. Gar ret Anderson, Jim Edmonds and Tim Salmon are good enough to carry this team all season, but if Anaheim wants to be around in October, the rest of the team will have to step up. Dave Hollins was acquired to play third base while Gary DiSarcina will stay at short stop and Randy Velarde will move from third to second. Darin Erstad will replace J.T. Snow at first and Jim Leyritz, the team’s most impor tant offseason acquisition, will be behind the plate. Eddie Murray will make his sixth stop in his 21-year career to be the designated hitter. Chuck Finley and Mark Langston will return as the one-two punch in the starting rotation. Mark Gubicza and Allen Watson will be the No. 4 and No. 5 guys and with the releasing of Todd Van Poppel, Pep Harris and Dennis Springer will battle for the last spot. Troy Percival was one of the league’s most domi nating closers in 1996. He will head line a bullpen that doesn’t have many holes. Mike Holtz, Chuck McElroy, Mike James and Jason Dickson are expected to do most of the middle-inning work. The Angels are a team that has the talent to surprise the entire di vision. It will be new manager Ter ry Collins’ job to make them believe they can do it. Projected Record: 82-80 Key Series: Sept. 25-28 vs.Texas Rangers: Anaheim will get a chance to play spoiler for the Rangers if they can take three or four games in this season Finale. OAKLAND ATHLETICS Oakland is in a self-proclaimed rebuilding year. This team played as well as it could have last season, finishing 78-84, but they probably won’t improve this year. Jose Canseco was the biggest off-season acquisition, not be cause he’s still a dominating player, but because he will be reunited with fellow Bash Brother, Mark McGuire, again. Scott Brosius will start at third base and Brent Gates at second. Tony Batista, after hav ing a nice rookie season, will move to short. Izzy Molina will get the call to catch, but the A’s will surely pick up a veteran backstop to nurse the rookie along. In the outfield the A’s have three good hitters—JascB ambi, Ernie Young and GercM Berroa, but Young is the onlyq these three that has majorlei outfield skills. Willie Anderson, Ariel Prieta Mike Mohler are locks forthel mg mt.ilion. I he rest of the® will surface during spring trail or at least they are supposedlol bullpen is deep with solid anna no one knows what theii roleisj The three main httrlers inthi are probably Buddy Groom] (iorsi ami Billy Taylor.
