Redskins beat No.4 seed Wildcats
Arizona blames defeat on Davis' high scoring
The Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio — Everywhere Arizona's front line turned, Devin Davis was there dreadlocks flopping, mouth running, legs churning toward the basket.
Davis plundered Arizona's front line for 24 points, helping Miami, Ohio, to a 71-62 upset yesterday in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The tournament win was the first for Miami (23-6) since 1978. The 15th-ranked Redskins had lost their last four first-round games.
Davis rolled Miami to a 10-point lead midway through the second half. He scored five points in the last 29 seconds.
The Wildcats, a Final Four team last year, said Davis was the reason they lost.
"Davis was tough for any of our guys to handle," Arizona coach Lute Olson said. "He played very strong and hard and was very quick to the ball, much quicker to it than our guys."
Or what was left of their guys. Arizona played without center Ben Davis, who was suspended for an NCAA rule violation.
Two other front-liners — Joseph Blair and Corey Williams — each got three fouls in the first half and had to play cautiously. Blair also was slowed by a sorg ankle.
It was a career game for Davis, a 6-foot-7 forward known for his quick temper and wild hair. He had a career-high 15 rebounds. Miami had a season-high 47 rebounds.
"This guy carried us through like he has all season," Miami coach Herb Sendek said.
When he wasn't weaving through Arizona's front line, Davis was exchanging words with them — he and Ray Owes had words at one point — or yelling at his own teammates.
"I thought we were sloppy on a couple of things," Davis said. "I'm an emotional player sometimes — it's not a bad thing, just the way I get.
He chastised several of them during Arizona's final run.
"I wanted to make sure they knew what was going on out there. We couldn't have any slips."
After Arizona turned the ball over on a charge, Davis hit a close-in basket with 29 seconds left, and Kevin Beard dunked a steal, sealing the win.
Miami, the regular-season Mid-American Conference champion, redeemed itself
with the win. Miami lost in the semifinals of the conference tournament and sweated out an at-large bid.
"We felt this was our second life," said center Jamie Mahaffey, who was 5-for-5 in the second half and finished with 17 points. "We wanted to come out and show our stuff."
Damon Stoudamire, the Wildcats' All-America guard, called himself reborn after sitting out the final regular-season game because his father violated an NCAA rule against accepting gifts. He scored 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting.
Miami made sure that Stoudamire — who led the Pac-10 with 23 points a game — never got an open shot at the basket.
"They did a pretty good job," Stoudamire said. "They kept me in front of them, and I wasn't hitting my shot."
Miami took control with a seven-point run — sparked by a Davis lay-in — that pushed the lead to 60-50 with 7:30 left. A three-pointer and free throw by Stoudamire cut Miami's lead to 64-62 with 1:46 left, but Davis rallied with a basket and added three free throws in the last 14 seconds.
Arizona's Stoudaname struggled. He was only 2-for-10 in the first half when Arizona failed to take advantage of Miami's 26 percent shooting.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The doubters were wrong. Manhattan really does belong in the NCAA tournament.
The Jaspers got big contributions from their bench, including 14 second-half points from Jeronimo Bucero, and upset fourth-seeded Oklahoma 77-67 yesterday in the opening round of the NCAA tournament's Southeast region.
"Bob Frederick and the tournament selection committee are not quite as dumb as people think," Manhattan coach Fran Fraschilla said, referring to the chairman of the committee who attended the game.
When the Jaspers (26-4) were chosen as an at-large team from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, the decision raised more than a few eyebrows.
Manhattan, seeded 13th, was the first MAAC team to receive an at-large berth
and now have made a little more history.
The victory was the Jaspers' second in NCAA tournament play, and the 26 wins are the most in their 89-year history.
"It goes to show that these mid-conference teams can knock off anybody on any given day," guard Ted Ellis said.
Ellis can thank some of the reserves. Bucero, a sophomore from Spain, had three three-pointers in his second half scoring spree. Justin Phoenix scored nine off the bench, seven during a 10-0 run that gave the Jaspers control. Overall, Manhattan's bench outscored Oldham's 30-14.
Bucero averaged five points a game during the season and had reached double figures only three times. But he scored 10 of his team's 12 points during a stretch late in the half as the Jaspers went out to a 67-53 lead.
The Sooners got 24 points from Ryan Minor, 14 points and 10 rebounds from Ernie Abercrombie, and 11 points and 11 assists from point guard John Onties.
But after leading by five at halftime, they played a ragged second half and were unable to climb back after the Jaspers' 10-0 run made the score 52-43 with 11 1/2 minutes to go.
Oklahoma's box score was not unlike many of its victories during a 23-9 season.
Fourteen of Oklahoma's 21 turnovers came in the second half. After shooting 50 percent in the first half, the Sooners hit just 42 percent.
"I don't think we had enough intensity in the second half," Minor said. "Even in the first half, we were turning the ball over. When we got down, we started pinching it seemed like, and that killed us."
Oklahoma's largest lead was 28-20 late in the first half. Manhattan got within five at halftime and then scored the first six points of the second half.

Kansas rugby team prepares to compete in Arizona matches
The Kansas rugby team is preparing for a spring break trip to Arizona, said Matt Delargy, Lawrence senior and rugby team captain.
Delargy converted four licks following tries, or touchdowns, in the game against the Wildcats.
The Jayhawks shut out Kansas State 45-0 in Manhattan on Saturday. With the victory, Kansas improved to 5-2.
"We're tying up the loose ends before going," he said. "There will be some new and tough competition there."
Kansas will play its last regular-season match against Northeast Missouri on April 1 in Lawrence.
If the Jayhawks win the match, they will advance to represent the Western Union region and play for a trip to the final four in Albuquerque, N. M.
