Hopefully, it will make a difference. "We're really looking forward to playing at home," said BYU coach Soni Adams, whose 3 (WAC) Cougars take on Wyoming g at, 7 p.m. Thursday and Colorado State at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Marriott Center. "We're the only WAC team that hasn't played at home yet, and I think if you look at the results, you'll see that home court has had an effect overall. We're glad to be corning home." Both games will be live on KSRR 1400 AM and the BYU-CSmatchup on Saturday will air .' ; 0-- league-leadin- I U Iie on KBYU-T- V Channel 1 1 and or the Blue & White Network. It will be tape delayed on Prime Sports Network Sunday at 6 p.m. The Cougars are 6-- 9 overall and have lost at Utah, at San Diego State and at Fresno State in the young WAC season. They will still be without leading scorer Behka Stafford, out with a stress fracture in her leg. Adams said Stafford's status will be evaluated next week and she will hopefully be ready to play again within the next few weeks. Sophomore guard Kari Gallup tops BYU in scoring at 1 1.4 points per game. Kim Henry Anderson leads BYU in rebounding at seven per game. Kim Morris has been playing well for the Cougars, as has Shannon MacCormac off the bench. Wyoming is also 6-- 9 on the season, but is 1 in the WAC followhome sweep ing a season-openin- g of UTEP and New Mexico. The Cowgirls are led by junior guard Jesseca Cross at 12.9 points per 2-- game and 7.7 rebounds per game. Jessica Thompson, a center, adds 11.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. "Wyoming has so many people Chad scoring for them now Wyoming coach Chad Lavin has them playing really well right now," Adams said. "They've got some kids doing very well inside and that's where we've had some problems, so we'll have to deal with that. But 1 think we match up better in size against them than we do against CSU." Lavin said the Cougars also create some problems. "They have some great performers, kids who can go for 20 points any night," he said. "Their guard corps is great. They have the type of team that could go off at any time. "I don't know if we match up really well at the guard position Heat have cooled after fast Riley star inside, I think we're pauty similar. We both have some good players but not much depth there." Colorado State leads the conference with a 0 mark after opening the WAC with three home games. Freshman guard Becky Hamilton leads the Rams with 17.9 points senior per game, while center Teresa James checks m w ith 17 points and nearly nine rebounds per game. "Colorado State has been playing great," Adams said. "They're a little like Utah in that they have that great inside-outsid- e attack. "We did pretty well slopping Amber Utah's leading scorers McEwan and Julie Krommenhoek. but their other players killed us. James and Mammon are phenomenal, you can't let them get away from you.

Pat Riley looks like a cheerleader in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch. First he crouches as he coaches, using body English to help his players on defense. Then an opponent shoots, and Riley raises his aims, waves his hands and twists his face into an "Miss it! expression that sas, " Miss it! Miss it!" The task of turning around the Miami Heat can make even basketball's coolest coach seem silly. Among his NBA peers, Riley hasthe best contract, best wardrobe and best record 774-32- 0 with four league championships. But he doesn't have the best team. 1 record is the Miami's worst of any Riley team at this stage of the season. Even with Monday's comeback 96-8- 9 victory over San Antonio, the Heat have won only two of their past nine games, leaving Riley in danger of missing the playoffs lor the first time in his coaching career. When Miami started All-WA- C er Anderson steps into 'perfect situation i ' ' ; .' 't By JOE MACENKA AP Sports Writer FORT MILL, S.C. Kenny Anderson began working out with I the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday, hoping to inject stability into a team that's had eight point guards this season. "Everybody's on the same page," Anderson said, after going through a concentrated practice designed to help prepare Hint to start the Hornets' home gajne against Washington Wedneste day night. l;"The trade ending Anderson's 4 stay with the New Jersey. Nets was announced Friday. I2-seas- But it was held up until Monday while the Nets completed medical tests on Khalid Reeves, one of the players they got from Charlotte in the four-playdeal. Once Anderson finally got onto the court with his new teammates, all indications were that the wait was worth it. "If I was scrambling my brain and playing that fantasy basketball and I had to put a team together for Kenny Anderson, this would be the er perfect situation," said forward Rafael Addison, who was Anderson's teammate with the Nets for two seasons and plays pickup games with him during the summer in New Jersey. Addison said Anderson has the speed and passing ability to help create good shot opportunities for Larry Johnson down low and both Glen Rice and Dell Curry on the wings. Anderson also has the tools and creativity to drive to the basket, making everybody on his team more dangerous. "I think the way we play fits him like a glove," Addison said. Coach Allan Bristow concurred. Bristow has made no secret of his desire to see the Hornets run more, a move that's been made difficult by injuries and trades that have created an unsettled picture at point guard. Charlotte's top two point guards before the Anderson trade are both trying to overcome injuries. Mug-gsBogues practiced Tuesday for y the second day in a row the first time he's done that since having offseason knee surgery. Michael Adams has a groin pull that Bristow said makes him doubtful for Snowboarding caravan ' snow-boardin- g. The SIA Slide & Ride Snowboard Festival at Snowboard will feature free lessons; demonstration snowboards for test rides; snowboard boots for men and women; and complimentary snowboard clothing to weaf while riding. Products, including a snowboard each day, will be given away to participants. Fifty SIA member companies have donated products and services to the national series for Slide & Ride Snowboard Festivals. "The goal of Slide & Ride is very simple," says SIA president David Ingemie. "We want people to try snowboarding and become snow boarders." National Sporting Goods Association figures indicate there are approximately two million snowboarders in the U.S. The National Ski Areas Association, in its 1994-9- 5 End of Season Business Survey, reports snow boarders accounted for 14 percent of all visits to ski areas. "This is a great opportunity to learn how to snowboard on brand new equipment," says Snowbird communications director Caroline Shaw. "Snowboarding is 'tip longer exclusively the domain of the young. We expect people of all ages a'rrd abilities to come to Snowbird for Slide & Ride. It really is a unique experience."
