HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (March 20)
The weekend could hold many surprises. Sit back and let all your friends make the plans. It is your birthday so enjoy it.
Aries: Today is a 5
Most forms of written correspondence can be used to your advantage today. Words may slip from a stammering tongue. When all is said and done, actions speak louder than words.
Taurus: Today is a 4.
Evaluate all financial risks carefully. What seems attractive now could prove to have a strong gravitational pull. Wise planning will keep you from burning up in a rapidly decaying orbit.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Your intelligence and quick wit are impressive. Anyone within shouting distance knows that you are a brace with which to be reckoned today. You are comfortable in crowds, no matter who is the center of attention.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Do not be ashamed to ask for help today. Everyone gets overwhelmed at one point or another. If no help is available, take your problem one step at a time. You can still accomplish something on your own.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Be extroverted today. Old and new friends are delighted by your presence and your conversation. Group activities, whether for business or pleasure, are especially productive.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
This could be a rocky day for communications, whether on the computer network or in an intimate personal discussion. Understand your own motivations. Do your best in the face of overwhelming odds.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Prepare for a day of intellectual stimulation. You are open to new experiences and cultures. The world may be a big place, but the borders are not as sharply defined as you may have thought.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 4.
Capricorn: Today is a 5.
You are faced with the realization that others may not be as reliable as you would have hoped. If unprepared to stand alone, be more cautious about the allies you choose this time. Look at things from a different side.
This is probably not your lucky day. Do not make a fool of yourself in front of the people most concerned with your reputation. It is best not to speak any more than necessary today.
Someone might be testing you by throwing a radically different opinion in your face. With your passionate convictions, you may rise to the bait. Remember that words are not as final as actions.
Aquarius: Today is an 8.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You connect with someone on multiple levels today.
Even if romance is not in the air, you will end up feeling good about humanity in general. Unexpected things are coming your way.
It may be time to drop your routine and take a mental health day. Your needs are better served by the company of your family or those close to you. Plans form as events begin to take their course.
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Top-ranked North Carolina used its superior speed and skill to toss aside Michigan State as Antwyn Jamison had 20 points and 14 rebounds in a 73-58 victory in the East regional semifinals last night.

SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The top-seeded Tar Heels (33-3)
Vince Carter added 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Shammond Williams had 18 points for the Tar Heels. North Carolina will play Connecticut in tomorrow's regional final.
Mateen Cleaves, the Big 10 player of the year, led the Spartans (22-8) with 18 points, but he was 7-for-21 and couldn't solve North Carolina's switching defenses as Michigan State shot 31 percent.
Playing in front of a huge partisan crowd at the Greensboro Coliseum less than one hour from campus, North Carolina just had too many offensive weapons for fourth-seeded Michigan State, a program playing its biggest tournament game since Magic Johnson defeated Larry Bird and Indiana State for the 1979 national championship.
The Tar Heels also added one of their better defensive and rebounding games of the season to move to 17-6 all-time in regional semifinals.
The Tar Heels who controlled the boards from the outset and totally confused the Spartans with defenses aimed at cutting off Cleaves' drives.
North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge tied Indiana State's Bill Hodges for the most wins by a firstyear coach. Hodges accomplished the feat in 1978-79.
ANHEIM, Calif. — Jarrod West couldn't come up with a miracle shot for West Virginia, and this time he even had three chances.

Utah, seeded third, will face top-seeded Arizona tomorrow with a spot in the Final Four at stake.
Even the presence of Jerry West, the most famous West Virginia alumnus of them all, couldn't help the 10th-seeded Mountaineers record another upset.
Jarrod West's 3-point bank shot in the final second last week gave the Mountaineers a 75-74 victory against second-seeded Cincinnati.
Brent Solheim led West Virginia (24-9) with 16 points and seven rebounds. Damian Owens had 12 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and West added 11 points.
But West misfired three times in the last minute — the final time when a 3-pointer would have forced overtime.
Doleac had 25 points and Andre Miller had 14 points and eight assists for the Utes (28-3), averaging 28 wins the last four seasons. Doleac added nine rebounds.
However, Solheim, a 58.3 percent foul shooter, made two free throws with 2:17 left and two more with 1:50 to go, drawing the Mountaineers within one point.
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Richard Hamilton's rebound jumper in the lane at the buzzer, Connecticut's third shot in the final eight seconds, gave the second-seeded Huskies a 75-74 victory against Washington in the East Regional semifinals.

West missed a three-pointer with a minute to play as the clock expired.
Last-second shot sends other Huskies home
Connecticut called a timeout with 29 seconds left. Freshman point guard Khalid El-Amin dribbed the ball near midcourt until there were 10 seconds left. He drove toward the basket and passed the ball to center Jake Voskhuol, whose shot bounced off the rim and Hamilton got the rebound and shot, again with the ball coming off the rim.
No. 11 seed Washington (20-10) took its first lead at 74-73 with 33 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Donald Watts.
regional final with a berth in the Final Four at stake.
After it was tipped from the ower side, Hamilton grabbed the loose ball and hit a fadeaway jumper over 7-foot Patrick Femering, the ball falling through the basket as the buzzer sounded. The Connecticut players all fell to the floor in a huge pile as the Huskies advanced to the regional finals for the third time in six round of 16 appearances in the 1990s.
Hamilton, the Big East Player of the Year as a sophomore, finished with 22 points, 18 in the second half, while El-Amin had 19 on 7-for-20 shooting.
Arizona scoring runs outlast, oust Terrapins
ANAHEM, Calif. — There's no stopping Arizona's scoring spurs.
And they did against Maryland.
Mike Bibby scored 18 of his 26 points in the first half as defending champion Arizona defeated the fourth-seeded Terrapins 87-79
Playing their closest game yet in the NCAA Tournament, the top-seeded Wildcats turned their scoring on and off at will, getting a flurry of points when they needed them.

winners against 10th-seeded West
Virginia.
The Terrapins (21-11) were the only team in the field to beat two of the top seeds during the regular season, but victories against North Carolina and Kansas couldn't prepare them for Arizona's lethal transition game.
After trailing by 14 early in the second half, Maryland closed within one with 10:32 remaining. Arizona simply kicked in its speedy offensive game, reeling off nine straight points to put down the Terps' threat.
Michael Dickerson had five points in the run that increased Arizona's lead to 66-56. The Terps never got closer than five the rest of the way.
Laron Profit led the Ters with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Even though they controlled the boards, 49-39, the Terps' inside game fell apart when 6-foot-10 Obinna Ekezie and 6-foot-8 Rodney Elliott picked up their fourth fouls eight seconds apart, just as the Terps closed within one.
