Iowa State

SAN ANTONIO -- Was that Tyus Edney, or Cameron Dollar? Were those the UCLA Bruins on their way to a national championship under Jim Harrick in 1995, or Steve Lavin's team prolonging his fairy-tale first season in Westwood?It was hard to tell last night at the Alamodome.With a drive by Dollar that was reminiscent of the one Edney made against Missouri in the second round of the NCAA `D tournament two years ago, the second-seeded Bruins survived their struggle against sixth-seeded Iowa State in the semifinals of the Midwest Regional.

The wildest, most entertaining lottery in sports was completed yesterday as the NCAA tournament selection committee announced the 64-team field that will compete for college basketball's ultimate trophy.The committee selected plenty of initials: UCLA, USC, LSU, BYU -- but not the team they loved to leave out, that renegade UNLV. They picked a few hyphens: Texas-El Paso, Miami-Ohio, North Carolina-Charlotte -- but not Wisconsin-Green Bay, which will be headlining a National Invitation Tournament field devoid of three-time East Coast Conference winner Towson State.

WORCESTER, Mass. -- Harper Williams fired the shot heard 'round Massachusetts yesterday.It will reverberate all the way to Philadelphia, which is where the University of Massachusetts basketball team is headed for the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.Williams, who made only one of five three-pointers during the season, hit one with 30 seconds left and the shot clock running down in overtime to help lift the third-seeded Minutemen to a 77-71 victory over sixth-seeded Syracuse in the second round at The Centrum.

Marshal Yanda spent his pre-teen mornings pitching out calf stalls on the family's dairy farm five miles north of tiny Anamosa, Iowa. His afternoons were devoted to riding a four-wheeler he shared with farming buddies, punishing the trampoline in the backyard or shooting baskets with his mom and sister. Life on the farm was good for Yanda. So good that one day he will return to it. For now, though, his consuming passion is carving out a career in the NFL as a gritty and versatile offensive lineman for the Ravens.

Meineke Car Care Bowl North Carolina State (6-5) vs. South Florida (6-5) WHERE -- Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C. TIME -- 11 a.m. TV -- ESPN2 ABOUT N.C. STATE -- Defense car ried the Wolfpack, which won four of its last five regular-season games. The offense has struggled, and the Wolfpack gained more than 300 total yards just three times in the final nine regular-season games. The team's strength is its defensive line. ABOUT SOUTH FLORIDA -- The Bulls need a big game from TB Andre Hall (114.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Iowa State dared to run with North Carolina yesterday. Let that be a lesson for anyone else left in the NCAA tournament foolish enough to indulge such delusions. The Tar Heels chased the Cyclones out of their vaunted zone trap in the first half, pounded them inside in the second, and cruised into the Sweet 16 with a 92-65 victory at Charlotte Coliseum. Consider this: In the NCAA's opening weekend, the top-seeded Tar Heels (29-4) crushed two opponents by 28 and 27 points, respectively.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Giant killers or mere road kill? For Iowa State and Mississippi State, the answer either will lead them to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 or send them home for the year. A pair of ninth seeds - the Cyclones and Bulldogs - will attempt to defrock a pair of No. 1 seeds in separate second-round games at Carolina-friendly Charlotte Coliseum today. To advance, however, Iowa State has to disrupt North Carolina's quick, deep lineup of stars, and Mississippi State needs to solve Duke's defensive mastery.
