BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Rush and Reid voted players of the week
DALLAS — Missouri sophomore guard Kareem Rush came up big in the Tigers' 75-66 upset win against No. 3 Kansas last Monday. Rush scored 27 points for the game and was the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week, Kansas State junior guard Larry Reid averaged 24 points in two games last week. He scored 30 points at Iowa State and is the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week.
Both players are winning the honor for the second time this season. Both honors are voted on by a media panel.
Rush scored 16 of his 27 points in the final 12 minutes against Kansas. Rush also pulled down 11 rebounds in the game, which marked his four double-double of the season. He was 9-1for 17 (52.9 percent) shooting from the floor for the game and 8-for-9 (88.9) from the free-throw line. He leads the Big 12 in scoring with a 21.9 average. Rush won the honor in a split vote against Iowa State senior Jamaal Tinsley, who averaged 23 points in two games, which included a 26-point effort against K-State.
Reid opened the week scoring a game-high 18 points in the 63-61 loss to Nebraska. He then connected on 10-of-16 shots in scoring 30 points in the 64-78 loss at No. 15 Iowa State. Reid made 7-of-9 three-point field goals against the Cyclones. His seven trifectas were the second most for a Wildcat in a road game, trailing only Steve Henson's eight at Iowa State in 1990. His 30 points were one shy of his career-high 31 against Iowa in December.
For the week, Reid made 60 percent of his field goals (15-of-25), 80 percent of his three-pointers (8-of-10), and all 10 of his free-throws. Reid is averaging 11.1 points and 4.1 assists on the season.
FOOTBALL
XFL broadcast wins out against NHL all-stars
NEW YORK — The XFL's first telecast on UPN outward the NHL All-Star game and pulled in twice the TV ratings that the network's affiliates averaged during the same time slot last month.
The 4.2 preliminary overnight rating for the XFL game Sunday on UPN follows the 10.3 rating produced by the fledgling league's debut on NBC on
The UPN broadcast won its time period in three of the country's largest markets, and was second in 11 others.
Saturday night — far higher than advertisers were promised.
"They had a good start. There was a high number of curious viewers," said Neil Pilson, the former CBS Sports president who now has a consulting firm. "But I doubt they can sustain the rating that they achieved on the first weekend."
On a busy sports weekend, ABC's telecast of the 51st NHL All-Star game — which set a record for total goals with 26 — drew a 2.4 overnight rating, down 8 percent from last season.
That game was followed on ABC by the NFL Pro Bowl, which had a 5.8 overtime rating, 33 percent below last year.
Off-court problems still plague Suns
NBA
PHOENIX — The stars of the Phoenix Suns just can't seem to avoid trouble off the court.
Cliff Robinson was charged early yesterday with driving under the influence and marijuana possession
In less than two months, the three best players on the team have been arrested. Penny Hardaway was charged Dec. 14 with intimidation, and Jason Kidd was charged Jan. 18 with assaulting his wife.
after police stopped his car in Scottsdale.
Robinson initially refused to get out of the car and twice refused a field sobriety test, police representative Scott Reed said. Robinson later submitted to a blood alcohol test, but the results won't be known for several days. Police said they also found a pipe and a small foil packet of what they believed to be marijuana.
"I want to say this is a very embarrassing situation for myself, especially under the circumstances that we've been going through," Robinson said in a brief statement to reporters with Suns owner Jerry Colandez at his side.
Marijuana testing was added to the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement prior to last season. Under the agreement, players who test positive for the drug must undergo mandatory counseling, and a second positive test would include a $15,000 fine. Subsequent positive tests would result in five-game suspensions.

Tar Heels achieve No.1; Jayhawks fall two spots
The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Matt Doherty became accustomed to being No. 1 when he played for North Carolina in the early 1980s. The Tar Heels were the top-ranked team in The Associated Press poll 29 weeks during his career.
The feeling was quite a bit different for Doherty yesterday.
He achieved his first No. 1 ranking as a coach after the Tar Heels beat highly ranked Duke on its home court and then Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Stanford, No. 1 the previous four weeks, fell from the top spot after a weekend loss at home to UCLA.
"As a coach you are more concerned about a lot more things," Doherty said when asked to compare being No. 1 as a player and coach. "As a player you were concerned about yourself and that's about it. As a coach you worry about the opponents, your player's psyche, all those kind of different things."
Before returning to his alma mater, Doherty coached at Notre Dame for one year and was an assistant under Kansas coach Roy Williams from 1993-99. He joins former North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge as the only coaches in Atlantic Coast Conference history to take their teams to the No. 1 ranking in their first year. Guthridge did it with the Tar Heels on Dec. 15. 1997.
Not many programs have had such a smooth transition after losing a legendary coach. The Tar Heels went to two Final Fours in three years after Guthridge replaced Dean Smith, and now Doherty has the program at No. 1 again.
"We've got great players," Doherty said. "That is a big, big part of it. Coach Guthridge left me with some good players and those kids are playing hard. They've matured and been through some wars over the last few years."
North Carolina started the season 3-0, then lost consecutive games to Michigan State and Kentucky. The latter, on Dec 2, was the last game before the winning streak began.
The Tar Heels will defend their
No.1 ranking against No.19 Wake Forest tonight in Winston-Salem.
North Carolina beat the Demon Deacons 70-69 a month ago at the Smith Center.
Stanford (20-1), the last unbeaten Division I team, dropped to second after losing 79-73 to UCLA. The Cardinal got nine first-place votes and 1,677 points, 22 more than Duke (20-2), which dropped one spot following the loss to North Carolina.
Michigan State (18-2), which beat Michigan and Purdue last week, got the other three first-place votes and moved up one place to fourth. Kansas, which lost at Missouri last week, dropped two spots to fifth.
