'Big Country'tops All-Big Eight team
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the third year in a row, every voter on The Associated Press All-Big Eight basketball panel says Bryant Reeves is first team.
But this year, the towering talent from the tiny town who's known as Oklahoma State's "Big Country" isn't alone. Also selected by unanimous vote to the AP's 1994-95 team were Ryan Minor of Oklahoma and Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg.
Reeves, who ends his college career as the Cowboys' second all-time leader in both scoring and rebounding, averaged 21.5 points and a league-leading 9.6 rebounds this year.
Oklahoma's Ryan Minor was the league's leading scorer with 23.7 points a game. He finished third behind Reeves and Iowa State's Loren Meyer with 8.1 rebounds.
Iowa State's Fred Holberg averaged 20.8 points and led the league with 157 of 182 free-throw attempts for an .863 percentage. Minor was second in the league with an .852 percentage.
Baseball bargaining foiled again
Talks put on hold until week's end
The Associated Press
PALM BEACH, Fla. — After angering each other again, strikeball player players and owners won't resume bargaining until the end of the week at the earliest.
The sides had set a March 5 deadline for an agreement that would allow the season to start as scheduled with major leaguers, but at least one owner thought next weekend was the real deadline.
"I don't see how we can go beyond Monday and still be ready for the opener." Philadelphia Phillies president Bill Giles said in Clearwater, Fla. "I do have a hunch that the union leaders are waiting to see what happens at the owners' meeting ... I guess hoping that some of the owners will say, 'Let's make a deal, whatever it is.' I don't think that's going

during an interview with ESPN.
"I assume negotiations will start up again after our meetings in Florida." Reinsdorf said. "I certainly don't think there's going to be any change. I have 100 percent confidence in our people, and I know Bud Selig does."
Selig was to arrive in Palm Beach yesterday for the owners' three-day quarterly meetings and stay in the presidential suite of The Breakers resort, where limousines and Rolls-Royces fill the driveway. Mediator W.J. Usery is to address

Union head Donald Fehr, speaking from New York, said players weren't at fault for the breakup in talks to solve the strike, which this week completes its seventh
"We haven't been accused of breaking the law twice," he said. "They have, and they're about to be a third time."
He was referring to the National Labor Relations Board, which issued an unfair labor practice complaint against owners in December and was about to issue another last month before management rescinded the salary cap.
The NLRB is expected to issue another complaint against owners this week for failing to restore the old work rules, such

as salary arbitration.
During the ESPN interview, Reinsdorf said Fehr was rallying players around a cause that didn't make a lot of sense.
"We want the players to understand this particular union isn't serving them well," Reinsdorf said. "At some point, players will realize they've been misled by their union and ought to come back to work."
The White Sox owner also denied the union's accusation that he was the power behind the throne.
"When Don Fehr says I's the puppeater pulling the string, he's not insulting me, he's insulting Bud Selig," Reinsdorf said. "I think that's also part of the strategy, to have a rift between Bud and me.
Broncos juggle free agents, salary cap
"But that's not possible. We're just too close."
Four players signed in past two months

DENVER — After going on a two-week free-agent signing frenzy, the Denver Broncos are not sitting idle until next month's NFL draft.
both want to be here."
"They were fair on both counts," said Jordan Woy, the agent for Habib and Crockett. "Both players felt good about how it was structured. The key is they
The Broncos have restructured the contract of cornerback Ray Crockett and released guard Brian Habib with the agreement that he will be re-signed after he clears waivers. Both moves are aimed at making room under Denver's $36,527,000 salary cap.
Habib, who was scheduled to make $1.3 million in 1995, likely will clear waivers because any team that claims him would have to pay him that salary.
He could re-sign with the Broncos in the next few days, Woy said.
Crockett is in the second year of a four-year, $6.2 million contract.
Denver coach Mike Shanahan has landed four free agents in his two months with the Broncos. Cornerback Lionel Washington and safety Tim Hauck agreed to terms Monday, and defensive linemen Michael Dean Perry and James Jones signed earlier.
Shanahan still wants to sign an outside linebacker, a tackle, a wide receiver, a versatile running back and a backup
quarterback. The agreements with Crockett and Habib could free up more than $1 million for the Broncos, who
were about $500,000 below their spending limit.
"That's the nature of the game. The cap is always flexible." Shanahan said. "If you've
got a player that you feel you want to bring in at a certain number, you've got to make some changes."
Houston running back Todd McNair and Philadelphia linebacker Brit Hair are expected to be in Denver today for interviews.
Three of Shanahan's former players — San Francisco running back John Ivlow, quarterback Bill Musgrave and wide receiver Ed McCaffrey — interviewed Monday.
On the dotted line
The Denver Broncos have made some interesting deals before next month's draft date to work underneath the team's salary cap.
