Brian Williams

NEW YORK -- Brian Williams left Maryland after one year and Arizona after two, but it all worked out for the best. "I'm going to Disney World," Williams said last night after the Orlando Magic made him the 10th pick of the NBA draft.Williams, 22, said he made the right decisions, both in transferring from Maryland and skipping his final season at Arizona. Questions persist about his game -- consistency, intensity, rebounding -- but who's to argue now?At Maryland the 6-foot-11, 242-pound Williams believed he wasn't developing properly under former coach Bob Wade.

FROM THE WEST* TOUGH TO PLEASE: Listen to Nevada-Las Vegas and you'd never believe it is 33-0 and riding a 17-point win into tomorrow's West Regional final. "We just haven't had great chemistry on defense," guard Greg Anthony said. "We're just a very average team now." Average?* TALL TALE: Arizona had Brian Williams (6-10), center Sean Rooks (6-11) and off the bench, center Ed Stokes (7-0). Seton Hall responded with 6-10 Anthony Avent and, uh . . . Anthony Avent.Guess what? The Pirates matched Arizona in rebounds, Avent neutralized the Wildcats' front line and it is Seton Hall who today stands tall heading into the West final.
