Barkley successfully appeals his suspension
By Jim O Connell
Associated Press
NEW YORK — St. John’s coach
Mike Jarvis sees the successful ap
peal of Erick Barkley’s three-game
suspension as a start for changing
the NCAA’s process regarding ath
letes.
“I’m glad that this means Erick
Barkley is going to be able to com
pete as the student-athlete he is,”
Jarvis said Thursday after the
school’s appeal to the Division I
Subcommittee on Student-Athlete
Reinstatement was upheld. “I’m
glad he’s not going to miss any
more games and also that this par
ticular ending is a new beginning, a
commitment from myself and our
university and a lot of people in the
profession to bring about change in
the system that oversees our game. ”
The sophomore guard will be
back with St. John’s against Vil
lanova on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Barkley, the team’s
leading scorer at 16.9 points per
game, was suspended by the
NCAA for three games for an
undisclosed rules violation. St.
John’s appealed that ruling even
though he had already served one
game — last Saturday’s victory
over Boston College—and missed
a second that night at Providence,
another victory for the Red Storm
(15-6).
“Erick is obviously very hap
py,” Jarvis said. “He appreciates
the game more than he did before.
He was glad to practice today.
Usually it’s a chore. ... You get a
sense of how relieved he is be
cause he was Concerned about his
image and perception.
Men’s
continued from page 9
league title. The win also gives
the Cardinal its sixth straight 20
win season, a new school record.
But Oregon did have a few
chances.
After being down by as many
as 15 in the first half, Oregon for
ward Bryan Bracey connected on
a three-pointer to cut the margin
to 37-29 with three seconds left
in the half. But just like that,
Stanford’s Tony Giovacchini
drilled a fade-away buzzer-beat
ing three-pointer to push the lead
back up to 11 at the break.
And then in the second stanza
the Cardinal jumped out to a 13
point lead before the Ducks went
on a 10-3 run. The run was
capped by an Alex Scales steal
and fast break two-handed dunk
to bring Oregon within 45-39
with 14 minutes, 30 seconds left.
But before anybody could
blink an eye, Stanford’s Ryan
Mendez swished home a three
from the corner that kick-started
a game-clinching 19-6 run,
capped six minutes later with an
other Mendez-three.
“When we played solid we
could play with them, but every
time we broke down they made
you pay,” Kent said. “And that
was often tonight. We made a
great run at them in the second
half and then mentally we broke
down again.”
Mendez showed why he is
considered the league’s purest
shooter by knocking down all
three of his three-point attempts
en route to a 14-point perform
ance. And Madsen — in front of
many NBA onlookers such as
Chicago’s Jerry Krause — domi
nated the inside game with 19
points.
He was matched by Stanford’s
mature freshman Casey Jacobsen
whose 19 came on three three
pointers and an array of athletic
jumpers.
Everybody knew something
had to give when Oregon — the
Pac-10 leader in field goal shoot
ing percentage — went up
against the nation’s best field goal
percentage defense in Stanford.
And it was the Ducks that
gave. They were held to just 36
percent from the field, while con
necting on only four of 19 three
point attempts.
The reason Oregon was forced
to hang around the perimeter was
the Cardinal’s imposing front
line. Whenever the Ducks pene
trated they were often greeted
with a blocked shot by 6-11 Jason
Collins, who had four of his
team’s eight swats.
Although Scales (14) and
Smith (11) led Oregon in scoring,
it was the play of little-used cen
ter Chris Christofferse and guard
David Jackson that were the high
lights in the loss. Jackson scored
a season-high 10 points in 18
minutes, while Christoffersen
contributed three blocked shots
in his nine minutes of action.
“Both Chris and David did a
good job,” Kent said. “They in
crease our depth. It was encour
aging to see them play the way
that they did.”
Now the Ducks must regroup
and prepare for a young Califor
nia team on Saturday which has
won three straight and five of
seven. With a win, the Ducks can
come home no worse than third
in the Pac-10.
“We’re playing a Cal team that
is much improved in the area of
confidence and continuity,” Kent
said. “It’s a huge game for them
and we have to be ready to put
this game behind us and respond
to the challenge.
