CSU is fresh off a double-overtim- e loss to Utah in a game Morrill's team should have won. If guard David Evans had made a free throw, or had not fouled out on a questionable call when attempting to guard His1 Highness, the Duke of Van Horn, the Rams would have been bleating big time in Provo tonight. The Cougars are 10-- 5 and 4-- 2 while CSU comes in 6 arid 3 in league play. Morrill's crew has Roger Reid 9-- they were the second best team in the league next to Utah. And they certainly showed that in Salt Lake City. They have everybody back, including Evans, who may be the best guard in the league." For the record, the Rams return center Joe Vogel, a 1 1, 240 pounder who took pride in posting up Russell Larson a year ago. The other forward is 6-- 8 Matt Barnett, or 6-- 9 Lorenzo Johnson.

" t is Madison BYU's team remembers from the last time they played the Rams. CSU won two of three over the Cougars a year ago and the last time was a tight and game in the VVAC Tournament in Albuquerque. The Cougars had the ball and were working for a final shot to break a tie game. Robbie Reid let the clock wind down to what he believed was the proper time to pull the trigger on a play. But when the play broke down, he raised up and shot a which missed. The errant shot made its way to CSU and in the hands of Madison, who heaved in shot right before the a buzzer to send the Cougars pack6-- hotly-contest- 17-fo- ot ing 76-7- 4. Madison's shot made national newscasts that day, bringing him fame and acclaim for the rest of the season. It. was the second such . highlight reel opponents had at the expense of BYU. At Hawaii, Tes Witlock's tip shot at the buzzer is still in contention for an ESPY Award, given by ESPN for the play of the year. "I'm sick of people throw ing , in shots at the buzzer," said BYU's Ken Roberts after the Cougars lost on a last- - , second layin by David Morgan at Nevada last December. The Cougars can do something one-hande- d, 23-fo- ot last-seco- about it tonight if they can avenge their WAC Tournament loss to the Rams. That will make it two for two since leaving Hawaii with a win. But the Rams are nobody's punching bag. They have the best backcourt and bench in the league. And the front court is explosive. : "Stew Morrill does a nice job mixing up his offense and defenses and they have enough talent to win the conference," said Reid. It will be interesting to see how CSU responds after the g loss at Utah.

Kenny Anderson, w ho has struggled to regain his All-Stform of two years ago, was traded by the New Jersey Nets to the Charlotte Hornets Friday in a four-play( AP) ar er deal. Anderson, who will become a free agent after the season, was dealt with Gerald Glass for Kendall Gill and Khalid Reeves. The deal is the second major one for the Nets and the third big one for the Hornets in the last year. New Jersey sent disgruntled one-tim- e Dream Team member Derrick Coleman to Philadelphia in a deal in late November and today made good on promises to trade Anderson rather than get nothing if the point guard left via free agency. Charlotte earlier this year traded Alonzo Mourning to Miami rather than pay him the money he wanted. The Hornets also required Gill from Seattle after last season for Hersey Hawkins and David Wingate. r, Anderson turned down a $40 million contract at nfie start of the season and his value has seemingly gone down since then. The second pick overall In the 1991 draft has been inconsistent while averaging 15.3 points and 8.0 assists, numbers which nearly match his career statistics "Kenny had a distinguished career as a Net," team president Michael Rowe said in a statement. "It had become apparent that the contract negotiations with Kenny and his agent were becoming a long and involved process. We felt it was in the best interests of the Nets organization and Kenny to move forward, and we feel this transaction is beneficial to both parties." six-play- er ! , ; ; i By BOB HUDSON The Dally Herald led UVSC IfffSixXlSm: - n points, scorediwhpfour 'in a ; , Assistant Sports Editor 10-- f1 0 with run 'thft Wolverines broke from a 12-- 8 Voven-Jeat0 take' coWof' early in the The 'prelimmaries Collece. dis'vgarne.'That burst gave UVSC a 22-- 8 Utah Valley State i. i ti ..ii ... nrt -- r r-- v lead with 1 1 :26 left in the first half. paicneu treasure vaney The Chukars (6-SWAC) day night. never recovered.

"For Vis, with our defensive goal to hold teams under 50 points, it's still a challenge," Nixon said.
