Baylor coach praises team for improving this season
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harry Miller figures his Baylor Bears have much to be proud of regardless of what happens this week in the Big 12 tournament.
Left for dead a couple of years ago
after a stiff NCAA probation, the Bears head into Thursday's first round against Oklahoma State with an 18-11 record, hopeful of winning a bid to the NITE.
- Throughout Baylor's history, the
* Bears have had only four NCAA and
* two NIT appearances.
"That would be very significant."
said Miller, who is in his third year at Baylor. "There's already been definitive evidence we have gone way down the road toward recovery. But Baylor hasn't had too many postseason bids."
Miller said a postseason appearance would be huge for his players.
"I feel we deserve it," he said. "I feel we've done enough to be strongly considered. I do know this — it would signal we had made a giant leap in the right direction."
Norm Stewart, winding down his 30th year as Missouri's head coach, may be about as frustrated as he ever has felt in early March. The Tigers finished only 5-11 in the conference. But perhaps Stewart's biggest frustration stems from the way his controversial senior guard Jason Sutherland is viewed.
Sutherland drew three fouls in a critical stretch in Missouri's loss at
Kansas State on Saturday. A lot of Missouri fans, including Stewart, believe Sutherland has had a bull'seye painted on his back all year.
"First of all, we're not in a position to make any comments," Stewart said. "If you make comments and you're losing and you have an incident happen, everybody zeros in on that. It's been very difficult for us to get an unbiased view. I think that's been true most of the year in regard to Jason.
"I really have some deep feelings about our ball club and about the individuals who have represented us over the years and the group that represents us now. It doesn't mean you have to be winning before you can speak. But it doesn't sound very good when you're losing and you say something. But I think it's been mishandled. It's been mishandled by officials. I think it's been mishandled by
some of the coaches. And certainly, I think the press has had their share of it, too.
"And certainly, we haven't done a good job." Stewart said.
Texas Tech coach James Dickey said coaching and athletic ability were not alone in carrying No. 1 Kansas through a 29-1 regular season.
"I think Kansas has been and is the best team in the country all year for a lot of reasons," Dickey said. "One that stuck out in my mind is this team has been on a mission since last year."
A year ago, the highly ranked Jayhawks lost to Syracuse, missing a Final Four trip.
"They felt like they should have been in," Dickey said. "They have tremendous confidence that somebody's going to make plays to help them win."
Survey shows Kansas in sync with Title IX
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Va. — Although most college students are women, most Division I athletes are men, despite the efforts of Title IX sponsors to even the score, according to a survey by USA Today.
Kansas was among 28 schools with women athletes within 5 percent of total female enrollment.
But the survey said more than half the undergraduate students in Division I schools were women, but two-thirds of the athletes were men.
The survey was commissioned to study the effects of 25 years of Title IX, the legislation passed to bring equality to women in college athletics. The newspaper surveyed 303 NCAA Division I schools.
A goal of Title IX was to bring the percentage of women athletes up to the percentage of women undergraduates. But the survey showed that at only 28 Division I schools, about 9 percent of the total, does the total number of women athletes fall within 5 percent of total enrollment.
Navy and Army ranked No. 2 and 3, followed by Georgia Tech, Washington State, Virginia Tech, Kansas, Utah and Washington, all with passing scores.
The top three schools in proportion of women athletes are the three major service academies, all of which have total female populations of under 20 percent. At Air Force, 15 percent of the undergraduate population is female, for example, and 26 percent of the athletes are female.
The worst offenders were, in order, Arkansas State, Southern Mississippi, Southwestern Louisiana, Texas Christian and Northeast Louisiana.
Leonard blames injury for loss to Camacho
Boxer had not revealed muscle tear before fight
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Sugar Ray Leonard and his trainers are defending their decision to keep secret a calf injury that hobbled the Hall of Fame fighter in his comeback bout against Hector "Macho" Camposo
"I gave 100 percent," Leonard said. "I gave more than most people (give) when they're in shape. I don't feel bad. I don't think the customers feelbad."
Leonard, 40, suffered a second-degree tear in his right calf Jan. 31. But he lied when people asked about it, instead saying it was his son who was hospitalized because of a thumb injury suffered playing football.
Sugar Rav Leonard
He ignored the advice of his doctor, Scott Steingard, who said the fight should be postponed to give him time to heal.
Leonard laid off sparring for two weeks. When he did resume, he quickly reinjured the leg. So his camp closed his workouts to the public and press so they wouldn't see how hobbled he was.
"It was something we camouflaged because we thought it was going to heal," corner man J.D. Brown said.
When fight night came Saturday, Leonard had his doctor inject him with painkiller two
hours before the 12-round bout at Convention Hall. It was a temporary fix. Lurching, missing punches and falling down, Leonard was beaten soundly by Camacho before referee Joe Cortez stopped the fight at 1:08 of the fifth round.
But Leonard said the injury, which clearly limited his mobility and balance in the ring, was not to blame for his ill-fated comeback. Time was.
"Inactivity is a sin in boxing. Trying to come back and defy the odds is one thing. There comes a point when you realize you don't have it." Leonard said.
It was Leonard's first fight since a 1991 dismantling at the hands of Terry Norris.
He held his own in the first two rounds in front of 10,324 fans. The left-handed Camacho, who applied pressure from the opening bell, scored well with head blows in the third round. He continued to score well in the fourth round and ripped a cut over Leonard's right eye.
About 50 seconds into the fifth round, Camacho, 158 and three-fourths pounds, knocked down Leonard with a right and two left upper cuts. Leonard struggled up but was unable to ward off Camacho, who landed 10 punches to the head before referee Joe Cortez stopped the fight at 1:08 of the round.
Camacho, who retained the fringe IBC midweight title, also has held the WBC super featherweight and lightweight title and the WBO junior welterweight title.
As for Leonard, the former undisputed welterweight champion and holder of shares of world titles in four other weight classes will be inducted in June to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, to which he was elected in January.
"I'm through," Leonard said of any more comeback attempts.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
A private matter could come to a joyous conclusion today. Making one phone call could resolve many problems. Stay tuned to the information channels, the grapevine and the Internet. An older person wants your loyalty and your attention. You might as well go along with the program. Your paycheck may depend on it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 10.
Begin a world cruise or enroll in college. If you are not quite ready to accept either of those opportunities, at least you can start preparing. A foreign friend would love to put you up. Start calling in some of those favors you have done in years gone by.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
You know that old line that goes, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" Well, this is one day when your natural intelligence could really come through for you. You are smart, and you can be rich. This isn't going to come about by accident, though. Make it happen.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is a 9.
Neither you nor your partner will let the other get away with a thing. That is good, because both of you will certainly try. Call and ask a dear but distant friend if you can come for a visit this weekend. It will be a great time to travel.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 4.
Have you ever considered being in business for yourself? The harder you work, the richer you become—after the first couple of years. And since you are working hard anyway, you might as well become fabulously wealthy. Think about it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 9.
This would be a pretty good day for you to get married. What if
it is a Tuesday? You can have your wedding any time you feel like it. Next weekend, for example. Besides, if you get married now, you will be more relaxed at the party. If you already are married, reaffirm your vows.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 4.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9.
You will have to face something repugnant, but it will turn out OK. You will be a stronger person for it. For instance, how long has it been since you cleaned out the refrigerator? Finish the job tonight, and you will feel like a million bucks.
People want to obey you a little more than usual today. You might as well take advantage of the situation. What is it you want to have happen in your life? Scroll down your mental list, and do as many things on it as possible, starting with the easiest.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —
Todav is a 5.
it is time to buy something you need for your home. If you don't know what, just look around. Whatever you need most will become obvious. Maybe what you need is a new place. The perfect thing would be a portable environment. Shop for one tonight.
Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan, 19) — Today is a 9.
You are a very practical person,
for good reason. You have to be.
You have learned the hard way.
Today you can learn the easy
way, too. Most Capricorns
become immensely successful.
If you are not there yet, you will be.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You are stuck between a rock and a hard place. There is something that must be done (for legal reasons), and you don't want to do it. The good news is this could bring more money into your account. OK, you are doing it for the money. Stop stalling.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 9.
You choose your friends for their personalities. You don't care about age, weight, race or nationality. You care about love, kindness, compassion and understanding. That is why you throw such wonderful parties. Set up another one for this weekend.
NOTE: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment only.
