Cowboys lacking team confidence
Oklahoma State may not qualify for NCAA tournament
The Associated Press
KANASAS CITY. Mo. — With four starters back from a 29-2 team, Oklahoma State was the obvious preseason pick in the Big 12.
Instead, heading into the last two weeks of the season the Cowboys are a mediocre 16-7 overall and 7-4 in the conference. They'll take a three-game losing streak into Nebraska tomorrow night and could be
in danger of missing the NCAA tournament.
"I've been a lot more confident with some of the teams I've brought into Lincoln in the past," said coach Eddie Sutton. "When you lose three in a row, you lose some of your confidence."
Perhaps the preseason prognosticators did not realize how much the Cowboys would miss Brett Robisch, their 6-foot-11 center who averaged more than 15 points and nine rebounds last year as a senior.
"I've said this from the beginning — the biggest question mark would be how we respond inside," Sutton said. "The loss of Robisch was a big one. Some of our people haven't stepped forward. When you don't have an inside threat, everybody is pushed hard on the perimeter. Plus, we aren't as tough inside as we were with Robisch."
After Sunday's 73-68 loss at home to front-running Texas, Oklahoma State guard Doug Gottlieb criticized his teammates for what he termed a lack of toughness. Sutton did not disagree and hoped Gottlieb might fire up the Cowboys.
"That's all you can hope for," Sutton said. "We have wonderful young men. But sometimes maybe they're not as tough as we'd like for them to be. Without that toughness, it's very difficult for us. I don't think our players are going to quit. Other teams had better understand we're going to get out there and try to win games."
Missouri at home, then go to defending champion Kansas before finishing at home against Texas Tech.
The Cowboys don't exactly have a soft schedule these last two weeks. They're at Nebraska, then play
Texas is atop the Big 12 with a 10-2 mark, followed by a three-way tie for second at 9-3 between Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska going into Monday night's Oklahoma-Missouri match up.
"We're playing three of the best teams in the league," Sutton said. "We're going to have to play better than we've been playing."
But Texas coach Rick Barnes said he was determined not to let anybody tell his players they were in the driver's seat.
"I don't think our players are going to quit. Other teams had better understand we're going to get out there and try to win games."
Eddie Sutton Oklahoma State coach
"If you think you
you're ever in the driver's seat, you can get ejected real quick," Barnes said. "Right now the Big 12 might be the most competitive basketball league in the country. I think we're in a good position, and we've worked to get ourselves there. Now what we've got to see is what we can do with it."
The Big 12 player of the week, to the surprise of no one, is Texas Tech guard Rayford Young, who scored 41 points in leading the Red Raiders to a come-from-behind victory against Kansas on Saturday. Young, who has been hobbled by an injured ankle much of the year, scored 35 points in the second half.
"Under 10 minutes, we were down by 14 and I said to myself, 'We can't lose this game. We've played too hard,'" Young said. "I started shooting the ball. I guess I caught fire, and I could have hit anything."
Young's drive and the crowd's sudden enthusiasm seemed to begin at the same time security guards kicked one of Texas Tech's male cheerleaders out of the arena. But Red Raiders coach James Dickey did not attach much importance to the cheerleader.
"I don't know if that inspired the crowd as much as Rayford hitting the 3's and us making the run," Dickey said. "Both of them occurred around the same time. To me, that was a little overplayed as far as what happened on the court."
Marv Albert signs broadcast contract with Turner Sports
Sportscast veteran returns to business after 20-game layoff
The Associated Press
Albert is returning to national prominence, agreeing yesterday to a multiyear contract with Turner Sports to broadcast NBA games and other sports.
NEW YORK — The local fans already have welcomed back Marv Albert. Now he'll see if the reception is any different around the country.
Albert, fired by NBC in 1997 after pleading guilty to biting a woman during a sexual encounter in a Virginia hotel room, is scheduled to make his debut on TNT's broadcast of the Los Angeles Lakers game on April 2 at Phoenix.
He has fulfilled the terms of his probation, and his record has been cleared.
"Everyone has been so favorable in New York at the games and walking on the street," Albert said at a news conference in Madison Square Garden. "I just hope it continues, and people continue to react that way, but it's out of my control."
Albert worked his first NBA game in nearly 20 months on Feb. 8, when he called the Knicks home opener on radio for the Madison Square Garden Network.
Fans lined up for autograph and voiced their support fo Albert's return.
"In the darkest hours, I had no idea what would unfold in my life," Albert said. "But I had to get past that. A year ago I was just wondering if I'd get back, but I think everything has turned out well in the long run when you look at my life."
He will work six regular-season games this season for Turner with analyst Reggie Theus, then will be placed in the regular announcing rotation during the postseason.
Albert may be paired with different partners during the post-season.
"The hiring is a step in the right direction for Marv to make
a strong comeback," said Turner analyst and former NBA coach Hubie Brown. "It also adds another quality announcer to our stable of people. The way people should look at it is that Turner is giving him a chance."
Beginning next season, Albert will become a full-time member of the Turner on-air staff, announcing a full slate of about 25 regular-season games.
"We feel that Marv is one of the top play-by-play announcers in the business," Turner Sports executive producer Mike Pearl said. "The concerns we had were that he was taking care of himself on a personal note. We have
the confidence in our decision"
decision."
Most of Albert's games on Turner this season will come on Friday nights on TNT in order to accommodate his obligations

with Madison Square Garden, which will continue.
"I'm so happy with this situation," Albert said. "I don't know what's in store down the road. I'm just so thrilled to be doing NBA on national basis."
Albert returned to Madison Square Garden in September as a weeknight anchor on its wrap-up show, SportsDesk. Besides NBA games, he also may work boxing for Turner along with the 2001 Goodwill Games and possibly the pro football league Turner and NBC are planning to launch.
Albert's last national telecast was the NBA Finals in 1997 with NBC, where he worked for 20 years. Later that year, after the trial, he was fired by NBC and resigned from the MSG Network.
"It will be great to see Marv return to television and work in the sport he loves," NBC spokesman Ed Markey said. "We're happy to have him back as part of the NBA family."
