The move came less than 12 hours after Dave McGinnis flew home to Phoenix, still upset that team president Michael McCaskey had announced his hiring before they had an agreement.

The report generally praised the Italian bid from Turin but said its venues were too far apart. j It raised serious doubts bids apout the involving Klagenfurt, Austria, a jid Helsinki, Finland, saying those posed major logistical multi-countr- y problems.

HARMON Continued from BI enced anything like it since his sophomore year of high school. But he isn't worried. "I'm not down on myself," Bigelow said. "I'm not going to quit and walk away from it. "My teammates haven't given up on me, neither have the coaches, and I haven't gotten down on myself. "What I do is forget about it and work harder Monday. It isn't going to last; in fact, it may as well be over. That's how you have to look at it." Well, that's how Bigelow's dad and coach Steve Cleveland see it. "I want Mark to keep taking the same shots he always has," Cleveland said. "He's been shooting a hundred after practice. "He's working his tail off and he'll get through it. Shooters always do. We don't even talk about it." Mark's parents, Michael and Judy, were present Saturday night. Just like they've been for all but three games. "I think my dad's going to lose his job," Bigelow said with a c huckle. "My dad doesn't say any- thing about this (slump). But my mom gets all worried and wants to know what can be done about it. "She gets all worked up in warmups if I ,miss. Dad just tells her I'll be OK." iPrf $54' jfeswir 155R12 Itltnn 40K MILE IX.

That screaming moment Saturday night should be a lot rarer than his celebrations over big plays in a Cougar uniform. Cleveland compares Bigelow's struggles to the same stretch Mekeli Wesley suffered a year ago. "Mekeli started well, then went six or seven games in a slump offensively before getting back," Cleveland said. The other issue, the coach emphasizes, is that Bigelow draws the opposing team's best defender every game. "If they watch films of our early games, be was carrying us," Cleveland said. "So they send their best against him, as they should," Bigelow claims he's all right. Nothing a couple of big treys won't fix. Maybe it'll come at UTEP Thursday night.
