Show 14 THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 2000 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, GYMNASTICS don't come out of this thing with a continued from page spectacular as the Utes were on floor, the beam is what they and Marsden should be most pleased with. After struggling for most the season on the apparatus, the Utes had no falls for the first time all year and scored a 49.050 their win." 11 As mance and finished off Utah's seasoscore on floor by pulling n-high a off 9.925. That was after scoring a 9.875 on her only other event, the beam. "Ashley Kever was spectacular," Marsden said. "If she doesn't do what she did on her two events, we total of the season. Again, Jones, Graham and Kever were to thank. Their scores of 9.800, second-bes- t 9.900 and 9.875, respectively, allowed Utah to stay within striking distance of BYU heading into the final event. Had one or more of the three toppled off, the meet might have been over right then and there. "We could have lost this on beam; but we didn't," Marsden said. "Because we were able to keep our composure ton beam, we were able to stay in it and win the meet in our final rotation." rr y y,, WINN continued from page 10 and, most importantly, lead his team to an easy bucket. He couldn't do that against the Rebels. Tony Harvey was a calming influence at times but he is not a point guard. He's a shooting guard forced to run the offense Rick because Utah coach else to nowhere has Majerus turn. To survive in the NBA, you need a strong post presence who can block shots and score 20 to 30 points per game in the low blocks. To have any chance in college basketball, you need a point guard. Look at the top teams in the land. Michigan State and Mateen Cleaves. UConn has that fat kid...what's his name?...Kha!id El Amin. When Arizona had its championship run, Mike Bibby was a star. When the Utes took their tour of the Final Four, Miller was the talk of the nation. More often than not, a great point guard can turn a good team into a great team. Utah is a good team in an average conference, which is why the Utes should win the league. Don't count out UNLV just yet, ' though, which has already made I State the Wyoming-Colorad- o road trip. And the Utes have a good Kyiee Wagner, shown racing to 1 round? Yes. Beyond that will be a struggle, however. A year ago, the Utes played above their heads and came back down to Earth in the second round against Miami of Ohio. This season, the Utes have not done anything spectacular, which is why they have fluttered around No. 20 in the rankings most of the season. When the Utes made their runs late in the second half, who saved the Rebels? That's right, the best point guard in the conference, Dtckel. He can feed the post, which is one reason Kas-paKambala is so dominating, End get the rest of his teammates involved as well. It's no fluke that he's leading the nation in assists. Most importantly, he loves the ball when his team needs to score. He'll go to the hoop and get fouled or dish off to an open teammate. He loves the pressure, a lot like Miller did when he was a Ute. That's why the Rebels won and rs why the Utes lost. Don't expect things to change the next time Utah plays in a tough environment. Colbert is good, but not good enough to put Utah over the top. At least not yet, anyway. the vault, scored a 9.800 on this event. rtiwiwainui st point guard in Colbert.
