Show FRIDAY. OCTOBER 27. THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE WALDEM continued from' page 10 nuts, this team has enough talent to make some noise. However, while rookie defensive stopper Desmond Mason was a nice pickup, this team will ultimately be done in by a bench that's thinner than Jeff Van Gundy's hairline. Projected Record: 2 50-3- 5. Sacramento Kings: There's doubt that they're exciting, havteam in ing been the but when last the league year, you play defense about as often as Bill Clinton practices monogamy, your playoff runs will inevitably be doomed to one round and out. Inserting Predrag Stojakovic and Doug Christie into the starting five will further boost the scoring, but do very little to close the lanes to the hoop that opponents consistently drive through. Chris Webber, being an impending free agent, should have his best year, and Jason Williams ought to improve with another season's worth of experience, but ultimately, when as the team's defensive effort generally leaves more open space than a Nebraska plain, this team really can't progress all that much. 8 Projected Record: 6. Los Angeles Clippers: They are still in the league, right? Believe it or not, this team actually had a pretty good offseason. Granted, even though they were as far under the salary cap as the Blazers are over the national debt, they didn't spend a dime to keep their own free agents, let alone sign anyone else's, and they still made some valuable additions to the roster. While talented prodigy Lamar Odom still has two years to go before he becomes free to bolt the cuckoo's nest, at least this year, he'll have some exciting teammates no top-scori- 44-3- to work with. iwm imni inn ri 1111 i'W''feW- I.I.H yam -- L VOLLEYBALL continued from paqe 9 matchup don't bother the advantage in the Utes, their own injuries are cause for concern, regardless of whether the coach thinks they should be or not First Junior middle blocker, McKelle Stilson, an Team selection a year ago, and the team leader in kills per game, is second in attack percentage. However, a lingering knee injury that has significantly limited her playing time already this year will keep her out of action again this weekend. The Utes may also be without the services of junior outside hitter Alisa Geddes, who sprained her ankle in last week's matchup with UNLV and is questionable for this weekend. In addition to being one of the conference leaders in digs, she is also a big hitter and a valuable offensive con head-to-he- ad All-MW- '' "" III C Mi - .-- MWC s 'A, 1 I & matchups. tributor to the team. The matchup with Colorado State would already have been difficult enough for Utah even if the team were at full strength; now it will be harder than busting into Fort Knox. Nevertheless, Launiere and her team won't use injuries as an excuse, and they retain their positive feelings about their chances heading into the contest. "We know we will have to play well against Colorado State they are an excellent team but we'll be prepared to go into the match with confidence," Launiere said. The Utes will follow up tonight's match with a contest against the Wyoming Cowgirls on Saturday. And while they in MWC play presumably preoverall and are just a senting far less of challenge than the Rams neither the coach nor her athletes are taking the match lightly. "Every match from here on out is important, and we need to take care of business the following night as well against Wyoming," Launiere said. 8-- -7 Director of Business Development International Finance Director Investment Banker t Superintendent Human Resources Manager Filter pj W What Cast You do with an MBA?

"It will probably take us a few years to get there. "Our job tonight is simply to go out there and give them good races and compete hard against some of the best swimmers in the conference," he added.

Beyond that, the only hard worker on the team is new power forward Danny Fortson, who is a rebounding machine, but as a four, is also shorter than the average jail term. celebrity All in all, coach Dave Cowens will be wondering how the hell he managed to pick the one team that's actually worse than the Clippers a question that no amount of scientific analysis or religious faith can provide a real answer for.
