Thursday, February 1. 2001 The University Daily Kansan Section A·Page 5 Simien ready to live his dream Continued from page GA On Tuesday night, the Lawrence Lions (11-4) got to see Simien flex his muscle. Simien scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, helping Leavenworth, ranked No. 1 in The Kansas City Star's big-class poll, defeat Lawrence 57-50 and improve its record to 11-2. After opening the game with a beautiful 14-foot jumper, Simien tore down rebounds, swished all five free-throw attempts and threw down two powerful dunks that left the goal shaking. He then scored the go-ahead basket in the final minute and blocked two shots that snuffed Lawrence's final kick. Big numbers, yes, but Leavenworth coach Larry Hogan said it wasn't one of Simien's better performances. "He's had better games," Hogan said. "I thought he was kind of sloppy with the ball, to be quite honest, but that's not typical of him. He's been averaging about 20 (points per game). He had a game around 30 points when people tried to play us man-to-man. If you give it to him down there he's going to dunk on you." Scoring 20 points might not seem like a gigantic feat for the second-ranked signee in the Big 12 Conference (behind Kansas signee Aaron Miles, according to ESPN), but Simien has posted his numbers against triple-team defenses. He's not the only offensive threat for the Pioneers, though. "I think I'll be able to come in next fall and be able to fit in real well with things." Wayne Simien Kansas basketball size Kansas basketball signee In fact, Simien and fellow Leavenworth seniors Joey Payton, Nicholas Sanders and Albo were recognized before the game as McDonald's All-American nominee. All will play Division I basketball next year. Simlen is clearly used to playing with talented teammates, which he said made attending Kansas an easier choice. He also said he was more prepared to become a Jayhawk because of his high school experience. “Coach Hogan has modeled his coaching style after coach Williams because he's been so successful over the years,” Simien said. “A lot of the things they do at KU we'll try to mimic here. So I think I'll be able to come in next fall and be able to fit in real well with things.” A giant who stands out among other high school players, Simien will blend in to the Kansas rotation with players such as 6-foot-10 sophomore forward Drew Gooden and 6-9 sophomore forward Nick Collison. But that's fine with Simien. He'll be living a dream come true.

Molson Inc., the team owner, sold 80 percent of the NHL club and all of the Molson Centre yesterday to Colorado businessman George Gillett for $183 million. The brewery will keep the remaining 20 percent of the storied team, which will stay in Montreal. The team cannot leave Montreal," said Daniel O'Neill, Molson president and chief executive officer. "There's no question about that." Gillett, a Colorado entrepreneur who once owned the Harlem Globetrotters and a share of the Miami Dolphins, tried to buy the Colorado Avalanche last year. However, he said no offers came from any Canadian company or individual. "I regard the team as one of the world's genuine sports dynasties," he said. "I am committed to the Montreal Canadiens with the ultimate goal of restoring the stature of the franchise as the greatest team in hockey." The NHL's board of governors must approve any deal, a process expected to take four to six weeks. The Canadiens and their heavily taxed arena were put up for sale last June. NBA All-Star game could be without Carter TORONTO — Vince Carter's reinjured knee might force him to miss the All-Star game. The Toronto Raptors' forward, the leading All-Star vote-getter for the second straight year, was to undergo tests on his left knee yesterday. He played about four minutes in the Raptors' defeat of the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, before aggravating the injury, known as jumper's knee. as jumper's knee. Carter said before the game he couldn't push off on the knee, which had been bothering him since November. He has already missed five games this season because of the injury. Carter, fourth in the league in scoring at 27.7 points a game, didn't travel with the Raptors for last night's game in Atlanta. Toronto coach Lenny Wilkens said Carter might have to skip the Feb. 11 All-Star game in Washington. "My knee has uncomfortable pain right now whenever I drive or move to the basket," Carter said. "We'll see what the problem is." Because of his injury, the 2000 slam-dunk champion has already decided not to try to defend his title during All-Star weekend. Toronto general manager Glen Grunwald said Carter might have to play the rest of the season in pain. Injuries have already forced Miami center Alonzo Mourning (kidney ailment) and Orlando forward Grant Hill (foot injury) to miss the All-Star game. Both players are out for the season.
