Kansas shoots down Indiana’s Dome dream

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Mark Randall wants a championship ring the old-fashioned way he wants to earn iL The Kansas center received a ring as a member of the school’s 1988 NCAA national championship team, but he won’t wear it. He’s looking for another one, and the Jayhawks moved closer to helping him get one after an 83-65 victory over Indiana in the Southeast Regional. THE JAYHAWKS (25-7) moved into the final against Arkansas, 93-70 winners over Alabama in the other semifinal. “I did everything with the team that year,” Randall said. ‘‘l guess I reaped the benefits and got two rings that year. But the ring’s sitting back home in Denver in a safety deposit box with my mother. I’ll never wear the thing because I never actually contributed to it.” In terms of numbers, Randall had a modest part Thursday with eight points and six rebounds. But the most imposing figures were those by Terry Brown, Sean Tunstall and Adonis Jordan in the first half seven 3-pointers between them. Six of them were in the first eight minutes Brown getting four as the Jayhawks ran up a 26-6 lead.

Greencastle girls win county title

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Heather New scored 11 points and Matilda Bode piloted the ball through South Putnam’s pressure defense Thursday night in the eighth grade championship game of the Putnam County Junior High Girls Basketball Tournament. But it was a heads up defensive play by Caroline Skinner and rebounds by Katie Thorpe and Amy Barnett that secured a 25-21 victory for Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs over South Putnam’s Eagles. WITH GREENCASTLE lead ing just 22-21 and momentum in South Putnam’s favor, Skinner tied up Jackie Nonweiler with 19 seconds left in the game and the possession arrow was in the Tiger Cubs’ favor. South fouled for the ball. Wager hit the first free throw, giving Greencastle a 23-21 lead. When Wager missed the second free throw, Katie Thorpe, who had 10 rebounds, grabbed it for Greencastle. And with the clock running, Thorpe grabbed another rebound and put up a second shot. Then Barnett pulled down a rebound and scored the final bucket of the game.

South Putnam county champion

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Amy Nonweiler grabbed a rebound and took it coast to coast for a layup with 40 seconds left in the game and South Putnam’s defense made it stand up for a 1513 victory and the Putnam County Junior High Girls Basketball Tournament seventh grade championship. Nonweiler’s second basket of the night capped the Eagles’ 5-7 season with a surprising victory over the 84 Greencastle Tiger Cubs. FROM START TO finish, this was a defensive battle. Three points was the largest lead either team enjoyed. A bucket by South’s Jamie Bassett and two free throws by Greencastle’s Heather New accounted for the only scoring in the first quarter. Custis hit a field goal and free throw and Natalie Huber another bucket to give the Eagles a 7-4 halftime lead that didn’t last long. Shandol Swalley converted a three-point play for Greencastle 1:12 into the second half to tie the score 7-7. Kate Murray hit a

“WHEN WE GOT the big lead, it was a comfortable feeling,” Randall said. ‘‘But you can’t get too comfortable. We knew we had to remember what got us that lead and stay with iL” Kansas didn’t exactly stick with that plan, getting only one more 3point basket in the second half. Then again, Indiana (29-5) got no closer than 74-61 on Calbert Cheaney’s runner with 2:21 to play. That meant the Hoosiers wouldn’t get anywhere near the Hoosier Dome, site of this year’s Final Four, as they were sent to their worst NCAA tournament loss ever. “It wasn’t two teams going at each other,” Indiana coach Bobby Knight said. “It was one team going at another.” BROWN FINISHED WITH 23 points for Kansas, Tunstall had 15 and Alonzo Jamison 14. Cheaney led Indiana with 23 points and Damon Bailey got 20 before fouling out. Kansas coach Roy Williams wouldn’t give much attention to Arkansas, but he left little doubt the Razorbacks had made an impression in their beating of the Crimson Tide. “They just sort of annihilate people,” Williams said. “They just

toy around with you. I really got that feeling out there watching because I think Alabama’s awfully good. Arkansas is so impressive, it’s scary.” BUT IT WAS Alabama that was putting a bit of a fright into Arkansas. The Crimson Tide tied the score at 31 after a six-point run before halftime and trailed 40-37 at the break. Then, Lee Mayberry stepped in and virtually stopped Alabama in its tracks. After just one free throw and four missed shots in the first half, Mayberry unleashed a 6-for-8 performance and scored seven of Arkansas’ first nine points to open the second half. Todd Day went into the final 20 minutes with 15 points and finished with 31. Mayberry got the credit, not just for the offense, but for the defense. “WE FEEL VERY good when Lee’s on defense,” Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson says. “When the guys get out there and start touching it for us, it’s just like it’s contagious. When Lee starts touching iL a lot of guys start picking up touches, and the next thing you know our defense is just ferocious. I like to think of it as a dog with rabies. You’d better get out of the

Robinson, Henderson duel for No. 1

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Final Four showdown at the Hoosier Dome on Saturday will determine the No.l team and, if there still are any undecided voters, the No.l player for 1991. Regardless whether Gary Roosevelt or Indianapolis Brebeuf advance to the championship game Saturday night, a crowd expected to approach 35,000 and a statewide television audience will see the two rivals for Mr. Basketball in at least one game. Two games, if their teams win afternoon semifinals. Roosevelt (28-1), ranked No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll,

way because we’re after you.” Alabama (23-10) got four straight points from a hobbling Robert Horry and got within 49-47. Arkansas (34-3) ran away again, using spurts of 8-3 and 12-2 to break it open and thus continue Alabama’s string of failures. “The pressure won’t bother you if you have a cool head,” Horry said of the relentless Arkansas attack. “But we didn’t have a cool head and the pressure caused turnovers.” TWENTY-SIX turnovers, to be exact. Oliver Miller sat out 15 minutes of the first half after picking up two quick fouls. He returned in the second half, played without fouling and finished with 15 points. James Robinson, another injured Alabama player, led the Crimson Tide with 21. Horry had 18. The Razorbacks and the Jayhawks are looking for a return to the Final Four, and Jordan says Kansas can adapt to anything if it means a chance at another championship. “We’ve showed that we can play the 100-point game and the 50point game. Personally, I’d rather have 100 because I’d shine more in the open court.”

Hoosiers outslug Tigers BLOOMINGTON Dave Hardy and Mike Patterson each hit a home run for DePauw and three pitchers allowed only one earned run Wednesday afternoon at Indiana University. But the Hoosiers came from behind for a 4-2 victory and the first loss of the season for DePauw’s Tigers. lU’s Kevin Goins drove in three runs with a two-out double in the first and two-run double in the third, as DePauw slipped to 2-1 on the season. Hardy gave DePauw a 1-0 lead with a solo home run in the first inning. After IU took a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the third, Patterson ripped a solo home run in the fourth. Hardy, Patterson and Mark Netherland accounted for two hits each in DePauw’s eight-hit offense. Hardy added a third-inning double to his day’s effort. Patterson added a sixth inning bunt single to his homer. Netherland, a sophomore, had a double and single. Singles by Rich Hawk and Chgresten Armstrong rounded out DePauw’s attack. Starting and losing pitcher Derek Morgan, now 1-1, and relief pitchers Pat Lane and Bill Bach allowed the Hoosiers just one earned run. Lane has not allowed a run in 10 innings of pitching. Bach struck out three in one inning of relief work. lU’s Chris Newcomb, now 3-1, earned the win in relief of starter Bob Scafa. Newcomb pitched Spinnings of two-hit baseball. DePauw will host Adrian College at 1 p.m. Saturday at Walker Field. Admission is free. Florida teams in NL West? NEW YORK (AP) Miami in the National League East and St. Petersburg in the NL West?
