Dan Gadzuric and the underachieving Bruins find themselves looking at an NIT bid.
Men’s hoops
continued from page 7A
the two instigators were amid a
chaotic pile of Sun Devil players,
Trojan players and Arizona State
students.
“He just came up and there was
a big squabble,” Trepagnier told
the L.A. Times. “He said some
thing, but I can’t remember what
it was. The next thing I know
there was a big gang of people.”
Storey insisted that the whole
mess was the result of the Trepag
nier punch.
“I was hit and then all these
people piled on top of me,” Storey
said.
It all started innocently enough.
In USC’s 95-92 overtime win
over the Sun Devils on Jan. 20,
Trojan players Sam Clancy and
Jarvis Turner were injured. The
team was very upset about the
physical nature of the game, but
the bad feelings were brushed
aside until the teams played
again.
And that happened to be rnday
in Tempe, Ariz.
Both teams were sharing the
Arizona State recreational center
for practice, and the Trojans had
the floor first.
USC went 45 minutes long.
When the Sun Devils finally got
in their own gym they were left
with some interesting messages.
Obscene messages were written
on USC’s basketballs, and, natu
rally, the Sun Devils presume
were written by the Trojans.
“You expect that from the Cali
fornia schools,” Storey said.
It was not surprising that when
game time arrived Saturday, fouls
were dished out like candy on
Halloween.
Officials called 58 fouls, and 32
on the Sun Devils.
“The whole game [USC] guys
were getting hit pretty hard,” USC
head coach Henry Bibby said. “I
think the officials let the game get
out of hand from the beginning.
And then you get altercations like
this. It’s terrible.”
Trepagnier was quick to show
reporters his own cut lip that was
the result of an Eddie House el
bow. He also noted that Storey
had elbowed him in the back of
the head.
House, however, believed that
he was intentionally elbowed
twice during the game.
“They are classless,” House
said. “I lost all respect for [USC]
the way they handled themselves
at the end of the game, the way
they were talking during the
game.”
Punishment, or lack thereof
On Tuesday, Pac-10 commis
sioner Tom Hansen went soft on
the players involved, only dishing
out probation.
Trepagnier, Storey and Arizona
State’s Tanner Shell got probation
for the rest of the season. Shell
was one of the players that joined
the brawl after the initial alterca
tion.
“We are extremely glad this sit

uation is behind us,” Arizona
State head coach Rob Evans said,
“We take pride in respecting our
opponents and operating within
rules, both on the court and off.”
Finally, no UCLA
ESPN and the Sporting News
have noticed. It’s time for UCLA
to.give up.
The Bruins (13-11 overall, 4-8
Pac-10) have lost six of seven and
were outscored 203-159 in their
two losses in the desert last week
end.
So in this week’s NCAA projec
tions UCLA was among the teams
hoping for an NIT bid.
“I wouldn’t play [in the NIT],”
UCLA guard Earl Watson said.
“No one would play. That’s not
our goal.”
And then there were three
Both ESPN and Sporting News
only gave the Pac-10 three repre
sentatives in the NCAA Tourna
ment: Stanford, Arizona and Ore
gon.
ESPN — taking note of Ore
gon’s loss to Washington —
dropped the Ducks to the eighth
seed in the East Region in Win
ston-Salem, N.C., on March 17,
against Notre Dame.
Don’t get too giddy.
A win against the Fighting Irish
would set the stage for the Ducks
to play a team slightly better —
Duke.
