Now it's on the line in Provo By Richard Barnum-Reece Wyoming Coach Jim Brandenburg has been saying it all along, and few of the other coaches in the WAC were disputing him. "I've been trying to say all along that we can play with anyone in the country," Brandenburg said to one reporter. "We're a good team. Especially up here in our own place." Indeed. The Cowboys have their own place and depending depen-ding on the way you live your life and whose side your on, their "own place" is either heaven or a hell. It wasn't the celestial kingdom for BYU, that's for certain. They zipped on up to Laramie Feb. 26 to see if they could still get a hold on the conference championship. champion-ship. But. the Wyoming Cowboys, lead by Charles "Tub" Bradley, who everyone sees starting at guard in the NBA next year, came back from a four-point deficit with a minute to go and tied up the ball game. Then it was the first overtime. over-time. They tied it up again. Then, true to the fierce style, that lately has been the Cowboy way of life, they went ahead 86-84 to take the game out of the hands of such notables as Danny Ainge, who recently was named an Ail-American, and Steve Trumbo, who couldn't deliver with the chips down. '- Neither BYU ballplayer was especially tough at the line and, who knows?, maybe that's justified given the inferno the University of Wyoming students ushered the Cougars into. "It was the worst display of sportsmanship by a battle at Saturday's schedule calls , for play to continue in both the winners' and losers' brackets. At 12:15 p.m., the loser of the Duchesne-South Rich game will play the loser of the North Summit-St. Joseph game, while the ; dinners of those same contests con-tests will meet each other at 2 p.m. ' " At 3:45 p.m.1, the loser of ; the Weridoyer-Manila game , will play ; the loser 6f the South Summit-Dugway 'ga'mefwith the' winners of ' those' 'games scheduled to pia1'eaeh'bther'at!6.m. The highlight of the first weekend's action will be the game between Division I champion Altamont and Division Di-vision III champion Tintic. ; The loser of that contest will be awarded third place in region. The winner will advance to the championship ' game against North Rich, the only team given a bye in the first weekend of the tournament. That game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. March 14. The second weekend also will determine the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh positions in region. student crowd that I've ever i seen," BYU Coach Frank :. Arnold said. "They were . throwing all kinds of paper and stuff all over the court. None of the players could think, they were yelling so much every time someone went to the foul line." So it goes. They used to call the Wyoming gym "Hell's Half Acre," and now that they have the newer place, the War Memorial Fieldhouse, the students seem to have the idea that a new war should be fought each time Utah or BYU has the audacity to pull into Laramie. 1 The Cowboys don't need a lot of help. At center they have Chris Engler, a transfer trans-fer from the University of Minnesota who doesn't have to jump much since he's just over seven feet tall. Then there's Greg Thesenvitz, . who shoots with the nerve of a young gunfighter with whiskey in his gut and five men already put away, thanks to his pinpoint accuracy. ac-curacy. BYU, sometimes struggling thanks to their loss of one player to the mission field : and three others to graduation, wanted to go up to Wyoming and prove ' themselves. They did. They proved that they couldn't ' pray in a foul shot during the waning minutes of the ball ! game. Who else would you want 1 on the foul lineTaesides Danny Dan-ny Ainge? This is a man who recently signed a $500,000 contracf to remain an amateur basketball player ' rather than abandon Mis 'commitment to the Toronto Aspen The Subaru World Cup at Aspen, premier event of the week-long "Aspen Winter-national" Winter-national" March 2-8, will put the U.S. Ski Team in amateur competition against the finest international skiers. ski-ers. But, overshadowing the team competitions is the personal rivalry which has developed between two giants gi-ants of the sport. Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark and America's Phil Mahre. Stenmark, currently in first place in the overall point standings, will try to retain his lead over second place contender Phil Mahre. Stenmark was the Olympic Gold medalist at the 1980 games in Lake Placid, and Mahre, who captured the Silver at Lake Placid, took first place honors in 1980 World Cup competition. The rivalry between these two world clnss champions is Corner Store claims Bartender's The Corner Store team of Karri Hayes, Arch Wright and Jordon Swensen took top honors at the Bartender's Cup giant slalom held Feb. 25 at the Park City Resort. Competing against 30 other teams in one of the largest turnouts in the history his-tory of the race, the Corner Store went undefeated through five rounds to claim the top prize and qualify for the regional finals to be held in Vail, Colo., March 25. The Bartender's Cup, sponsored by Lite Beer, is an annual event for employees of restaurants, bars and private clubs in the Park City area. Each team was composed of one female and two male members. First Coors race in Washington sees new face in winner's circle In a season that has produced new faces in the winner's circle almost every week, the Coors American Pro Tour's first visit to the state of Washington was no different. This time it was Brad Dut-ton Dut-ton who had his hand out to collect the $2,000 first-place prize money after he edged Wayne Wright in the finals of the $15,000 Copenhagen Skoal Cup slalom at Mission Ridge Feb. 22. Dutton, who was in an eight-way tie for 42nd place prior to the weekend's competition com-petition and who never made it past the Round of 32 in the four times he had qualified for a CAPT event, came back from a .245 deficit to win by .256 on the second run. Not surprisingly, he came through the finish line jumping and yelling excitedly ex-citedly over his feat. Wright, the 1978 NASTAR national pace-setter from Blue Jays. The contract, a three-year security clause for the Blue Jays, means that Ainge will be a baseball player, thank your, instead of playing for some NBA team. Which is just fine for those who were relying on the hotshot hot-shot from Oregon to come up with the goods against Wyoming last week. But he didn't. Two one-and-one foul shooting situations were missed, and Ainge became the goon instead of the hero which is his customary role. And then last Saturday, the University of Utah went up to Laramie to try their hands against the Cougars . . . and lost in the final minutes of the game, 70-73. For Coach Jerry Pimm, it was like this: those who live by the foul shot, die by the foul shot, and that's exactly how it was for the Utes, who blew two critical one-on-one foul shooting opportunities in the last minutes of the game. In this case, it was the Utes who hung themselves in the same manner as BYU had done only two nights before. Saturday, the Utes will go down to BYU, and what is on the line, other than the usual intense rivalry that the WAC prides itself on, is the conference con-ference championship for Utah and the possibility of getting a bid to the NCAA's for BYU. The good people down at BYU know that their team is young and not quite up to keeping it together for an entire en-tire season, but they do know this; they stayed within number on tanked Oregon State by four points, and sure to provide record-breaking record-breaking fireworks on the slopes of Aspen Mountain. Mahre's twin- brother, Steve, as well as Cindy Nelson, Abbi Fisher, Chris-tin Chris-tin Cooper, Holly Flanders and Tamara McKinney will be among the top U.S. contenders, facing top-ranked European superstars, including Liechtenstein's brother and sister team, Andreas and Hanni Wenzel, Canada's Steve Podborski, Switzerland's Marie-Theres Nadigh, and France's Per-rine Per-rine Pelen. The World Cup races at Aspen will highlight the "Aspen Winternational," a week-long series of parades, parties and one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor festivities, festivi-ties, many of which will include celebrities from motion mo-tion pictures and television. Racers competed in head-to-head competition on the dual slalom course on the Resort's Clementine run. The team with at least two winning runs (our of three) qualified for the next round. Second place went to the Blazing Saddles team from Heber, with third place awarded to Adolph's at Shadow Ridge. Finishing fourth was Royce's of Park City. A party and award presentation presen-tation ceremony was held following the race at the Ivers-Hearst Room in the Park City Holiday Inn. See the scoreboard section for the members of the four top teams. Brattleboro, Vt., ousted Sandy Eneguess, Dale Pearson, Pear-son, Claude Perrot and finally Marolt before meeting Dutton. And the 30 points he gained for his second place finish allowed him to move ahead of Jim Hudson for the Nd.1 2 spot in the overall standings behind "GregSniderv- Snider, though he still remains in the lead of the title race, reinjured the hyperextended right knee he suffered at Winter Park. He pulled out of the course just above the first bump in his first run of the day against Teddy Marolt and then elected elec-ted not to continue to compete. com-pete. The standings now show Snider at 190 points, Wright at 160 and Hudson at 155. The Tour now moves on to the first of two stops in California at Alpine Meadows for the Hexcel Cup giant slalom March 3-8. they've been ranked all season in the top 20. That should count for something when the NCAA boys decide who is going to get the at-large at-large berths for the NCAA tournament. If they can beat Utah in their place Saturday, it means they'll be assured of a bid while at the same time having the distinct pleasure of taking sole possession of the WAC conference con-ference championship away from Utah. If Utah loses to BYU, they'll have to share the title with Wyoming. Both teams will then have lost three games in league play, with BYU losing four. The battle will go down at 1 :30 p.m. It's the WAC game of the week, naturally, and with so many ducks on the line you might even see the normally calm BYU fans turn into Wyoming-like Frankensteins on regional television. Meanwhile, the University of Utah basketball team is going to gather itself for the biggest showdown of the year to date. Wyoming was a biggee of that there is little doubt, but this is BYU. It's not without reason that the Utah coeds slide around campus with red skirts on which say, "Anywhere but BYU!" "They've been playing well and we've been playing well, so I think that you can plan on another barnburner," barn-burner," Ute Coach Pimm said. "We know that coach Arnold is going to have his team up for this, and you can bet it won't be too hard. There's a lot riding on this same." rt |
