Answer to previous puzzle CREATORS SYNDICATE 02003 STANLEY NEWMAN STANXW0RDSeA0L.COM 8/27/03 WACO, Texas (AP) — Strictly business. That’s how junior guard John Lucas III describes his decision to transfer from beleaguered Baylor to Oklahoma State. Lucas visited Oklahoma State over the week end and said he liked the atmosphere in the col lege town of Stillwater, as well as the fans and the school. “It was the first time it ever felt like it was the right thing to do,’’ Lucas told The Associated Press on Monday night from the Stillwater, Okla., campus. “This was a business move.” All three of the Bears’ top scorers from last season have decided to transfer in the wake of the university’s self-imposed LUCAS probation following revelations of major NCAA violations in the Big 12 Conference program. Junior post player Lawrence Roberts transferred to Mississippi State, while Lucas and Kenny Taylor are staying in the Big 12, Lucas at Oklahoma State and Taylor at Texas. The Big 12 announced Monday that Baylor players transferring to other league schools wouldn’t lose a season of eligibility. That means Lucas and Taylor could play against their old team this season. “The council was careful to clarify in its vote that the action was based upon the unique circum stances presented in the Baylor situation,” Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said of the decision by the league’s Council of Faculty Athletics Representatives. Baylor President Robert Sloan Jr. offered players a release from their scholarships Aug. when he announced major violations had be found in the basketball program. Coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton resigned. The school placed itself on a two-year proba tion and won’t participate in any post tournaments next season, including the Big 12 tournament. Sloan asked the NCAA to waive its ru players transferring within Division I schoolssitom one year before being eligible. The NCAAgi that waiver last week, but said conference would still apply. Lucas, who said he would start classes! Oklahoma State on Tuesday, said he liked Bayk as a school. But he wanted the opportunity toplaj in the NCAA tournament. Taylor said last week that he was transferring I Texas, which has a scholarship available. Roberts signed a letter of intent last wed with Mississippi State and started classes atik SEC school. Baylor launched an internal inquiry intopossi NCAA violations in July, after allegations surfacei of improper payments to players following the i- appearance of junior Patrick Dennehy. Dennetiy body was found July 25, and former Baylor plays Carlton Dotson is charged with murder. Baylor has seven scholarship players commiiti to remaining on the basketball team for 2003-04. “We have seven scholarship players on camp right now,” Baylor sports information diiecii Heath Nielsen confirmed Monday night. ‘‘Hi includes Harvey. Marshall and Swanson.” Aggies Continued from page 1 B but it motivates me even more.” If the Aggies’ hopes of a Big 12 title are to be realized this year, they will need improve ment in finishing off their opponents. “A lot of it is going to be men tal,” Beers said. “We had a lot of trouble last year finishing.” The squad ran up against some tough times after jumping to early leads last year, a trend Corbelli and the team want to improve upon. “Last year we gave the credit to the opponent that they just started doing things better and many times they did, but we did n't adjust well when we needed to,” Corbelli said. Munsch, who will move to a new inside position this season, sees the challenge to overcome last season’s shortcomings as not solely physical. “Most of it was mental toughness and confidence,” she said. “But a lot of people came back this year with a lot more confidence and we are working on our mental toughness too.” Corbelli will rely on Munsch to bring the Aggies an added threat with the move to the middle. “We'd really like to enhance our team with her speed and her power all in one package,” Corbelli said. “In the middle, that’s really where that becomes the most damag ing to the opponents.” The Aggies will also rely on their experienced roster to help carry them through another difficult schedule. With just two freshmen, is plenty of room on therostei for more experienced players, "something the Aggies hope use to their advantage, “(Having a relationship will your teammates is) n important,” Jones “because we’ll know ho’ respond to them or what response to us is or wh means. We know what to expect from each other.” The Aggies open up tbt 2003 season on the road Fridas against Marquette at the Invitational.
