Junior shooting guard Lana Sitterud, who has played under Elliott for three years now, said that Elliott's mentality is such that any mistake will bother her. "She'll do anything to win," Sitterud said. "When you lose, you hate it because of what Elaine will do." She is so competitive and it irritates her so much that even if you win, but play bad, it bugs her," she said.

Instead of that power, the Utes have a different force with Bogut and Frost that points, with Jacobson coming off a screen to take a shot and then Bogut in the post area. But in order for the offense to be consistent and cohesive, the true emphasis should be getting the ball to Bogut and they are not using to maximum capability.

J It's all about using your advantages, and even though Bogut is only a freshman, he is clearly the best player to build around for Utah. If the Utes put an emphasis on working within the framework of the inside-ou- t game, then the team will have a much more consistent offense one that, in time, will learn to score more points. At this point, the Utes can't afford to lose or else they won't even sniff the NCAA Tournament.

Why in the world is he only shooting nine shots when he is shooting at such an amaz- 1 ing clip? That was one of numerous times throughout the season it has happened.

Last year, he became the fifth player in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000 yards. His 2,066 yards fell short of Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards in the final game. In November 2001, he was suspended for four games after violating the NFL's substance and alcohol abuse policy. The league did not disclose the details of the violation, in keeping with its policy. Lewis is the second Baltimore Raven to face serious charges in Atlanta. In 2000, star linebacker Ray Lewis no relation to Jamal was charged with murder along with two other men following a fight.

There, Lewis and Jackson asked the informant how much cocaine the informant was capable of distributing, the affidavit alleges. Jackson and the informant met again on July 12, 2000, at a gas station in suburban Atlanta, the affidavit said. During the meeting, they discussed drugs, but no purchase was made. Lewis wasn't at the gas station. His attorney, however, said Lewis was at the restaurant, but not for the reason alleged in the indictment. Jackson was also indicted and arrested Wednesday. He faces the same counts and a third for attempt to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine. Ravens spokesman Chad Steele said the indictment came as a surprise to the team.
