basketball tournament is proba

HOUSTON. Tx. (AP)— All-
Star outfielder Moises Alou ripped
up his left knee when he fell off a
treadmill and likely will miss
most, if not all, of the season.
Alou tore his anterior cruciate
ligament last week while training
at his home in the Dominican
Republic. The Astros hoped the
injury was not serious, but an
MRI in Houston on Monday
revealed the damaged ACL.
“This is a devastating blow
for our team,” Astros general
manager Gerry Hunsicker said.

off the bat,” White said. “But
with the team needing someone
my size in the middle, I’m more
than happy to be there.”
First-year A&M coach Melvin
Watkins said he is more than
happy to have White and said the
freshman has thrived despite
being the pressure being put on
him.
“We have thrown him in
there, but I think he’s capable of
handling it,” Watkins said.
“When you get a freshman get
ting the minutes he’s getting, you
get excited because you can look
down the road and see what the
future holds.”
Watkins did not get his first
look at White until after the cen
ter’s high-school career had
ended.
“I didn’t get a chance to see
him until the All-Star game in
Houston, and I saw a big kid that
I saw was athletic and had pretty
good hands,” the coach said.
White gives credit for his early
fortunes to the coaching staff and
said they should help him
achieve even greater things.
“I attribute a lot of the success
to coaches,” White said.
“Probably next to Coach Watkins
as far as helping would be [A&M
assistant] Coach Millory. He
doesn’t allow me to fail; he wants
the best, and in practice he brings
out the best from you, and later
in my four years, he’s probably
going to be the man who will
hopefully turn me into an NBA
prospect.”
