'New law may be The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 3, 1998 - 11 Hamilton reaches 1,000 mark in Huskie victory H " *for Herd The Parthenon HUNTINGTON, WV - If some West Virginia state leaders have their way, it will "have to" happen again. Cabell County Delegates Jody Smirl, Susan Hubbard, Arley Johnson, Mark Underwood. Margarette Leach and Evan Jenkins introduced a bill in the West irginia Legislature this past Thursday that would require the Herd and the Mountaineers to meet on the gridiron every year starting in 1999. Marshall president J. Wade Gilley said heis enthusiastic about the legislation. "I think we'd be interested in playing them," he said. "We've made several offers to West Virginia, and this might be the only way they will accept." The bill stipulates that each university ould be required to give students dis- counted tickets. The game would be played in Morgantown until Marshall could add more seating, and the game site would then be rotated between the two schools. But West Virginia would have to allot 30 percent of its seats for Herd fans for games in Morgantown. Gilley said that because the game generated- such interest and financial vindfall, it would be a good idea for 'bothy schools to consider. West Virginia cleared $700,000 after the. game, while Marshall made $300,000, Gilley said. "It's not a big ambition of mine to play West Virginia," he said. "I just think everyone is extremely excited about see- ing us play." Marshall Athletic Director Lance West and Mountaineer football coach 1 on Nehlen both said they were not aware of the proposed bill last Thursday evening, but Nehlen said it would be "impossible for the two schools to play." Scheduling information for both schools shows each is committed to I 1 games for 1998. "Our schedule is full until 2004, and it's just not good policy to break con- tracts," Nehlen said. When West arrived at Marshall in *996, he said the contract was a one- game deal, which Gilley has confirmed. Delegates hope everything will be final by Feb. 18, designated "Marshall Day" in the State Legislature. The football team will meet members of the Legislature and have lunch with the governor. HARTFORD (AP)-- Reaching a milestone was easier than Richard Hamilton had imagined. Hamilton scored 29 points and passed the 1,000- point mark in his career last night as No. 7 Connecticut defeated Big East rival Villanova 80- 65. Hamilton, the Big East's second-leading scorer at 21.4 a game, now has 1,009 points. He joined Ray Allen of the Milwaukee Bucks as the only other player in Connecticut history to surpass 1,000 as a sophomore. "When I first came to UConn, I thought it was hard to score 20 points," Hamilton said.. "Everything has come so fast. In high school it took me three years to score 1,000 points." After struggling to a 36-34 halftime lead, Hamilton and the Huskies (10-2 Big East, 20-3 overall) turned up the pressure and ran away from the Wildcats (6-6, 9-11). Hamilton scored 14 straight points for Connecticut during an 18-2 run that made it 67-43. "I told the kids at halftime that we were being outworked and outhustled," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said. "We couldn't allow that. I told them that we might lose the game, but it wouldn't be because we got outworked:" Khalid El-Amin had 17 points and Kevin Freeman had 11 for the Huskies. "We played our game in the second half," said El-Amin. "In the second half we played Connecticut basketball, up-and-down, up-and- down." Hamilton credited the freshman point guard with Connecticut's second-half surge. "Khalid did a great job of getting everybody involved in the second half," Hamilton said. "He set the tempo and when he plays like that nobody is going to beat us." Howard Brown led Villanova with 17 points. No. 21 Xavier 91, La Salle 59: Xavier came out shooting and hardly missed. 18 of their first 20 last night in a 91-59 win over La Salle. James Posey led Xavier (7-3 Atlantic 10, 15-5) with 21 points, but it was Lenny Brown who keyed the victory with a 14-point first half on 5-for-6 shooting, including 4-of-4 from 3-point range. "We didn't have too much intensity in warmups, so I wanted to try to get my team off,' said Brown, who-finished with 18. "1 hit my first shot and that helped my confidence." Posey added nine rebounds and five steals as the Musketeers won for the seventh time in nine games. Torraye Braggs had 17 points and I1 rebounds, while Darnell Williams added 15. "Lenny Brown really got us going," Xavier coach Skip Prosser said. "We wanted to get offtoa quick start. It was important to get that first run because it's a game of runs." La Salle (3-7, 7-12) has lost two straight after winning its previous three. Donnie Carr led the. Explorers with 18 points and Victor Thomas had 16. It was La Salle's lowest point total of the sea- son. Xavier missed only two of its first 16 shots in building a 36-26 lead. The Musketeers shot 69 per- cent (22-of-32), including 5-of-8 from long range, in taking a 52-35 lead at the half. Women's AP Top 25 No. 14 Duke 79, Wake Forest 55: Georgia Schweitzer and Lauren Rice each scored 17 points and No. 14 Duke never trailed last night in a 79-55 victory over Wake Forest. Wake Forest (0-11 Atlantic Coast Conference, 4- 17) lost its 10th straight game. The Demon Deacons got just 16 points from their starting five, Kristen Shaffer led the Demon Deacons with 15 and Alisha Mosley had 10. Schweitzer hit three 3-pointers and scored 13 points during a 19-2 second-half run that turned a nine-point game into a rout. Schweitzer closed the burst with a baseline jumper for a 60-34 lead with 11:20 to play. AP PHOTO Connecticut's Jake Voskuhl taps the ball into the net to help the seventh-ranked Huskies beat Villanova, 80-65, last night, but Voskuhl was just a minor player in a milestone day for teammate Richard Hamilton. The Musketeers hitl 11 of their first 12 shots and Brown lacks diversity Brown Daily Herald PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Brown has long paid lip-service to fair hiring prac- tices. Now, the NCAA may ask the Brown Athletic Department to put its money where its mouth is. In accordance with an NCAA regula- tion that requires each school to undergo an intensive self-study once every five years, Brown athletics recently complet- ed a self-examination that covered four areas -- governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, fis- cal integrity and commitment to equity. The report was submitted to the NCAA for review on July 1, 1997, and the final decision on Brown's recertification, along with any suggestions for improve- ments, will be released next nonth. In Brown's self-study, one area came into sharp focus -_. the need for an increased commitment to recruit and hire more minority coaches and assis- tants, under the NCAA's equity guide- lines. Currently, Brown has only two minor- ity head coaches: men's basketball coach Frank "Happy" Dobbs, and women's gymnastics coach Jackie Court. There are also two minority assistant coaches, on the football and track teams. Athletic Director Dave Roach said he is committed to bringing the best possi- ble coaches to Brown and endorsed some of the measures the athletic depart- ment is taking to bring a greater pool of minority applicants to Brown, such as advertising with the Black Coaches Association.
