“This is what I came back here
for,” he said.
“This is as storybook as it gets
for Mateen,” Izzo said. “He gave
up a lot of money, a lot of things
to be back here.”
The Spartans (32-7), the only
top-seeded team to reach the Final
Four, finished 33-for-59 from the
field (56 percent), the best against
Florida’s frantic pace by far in the
tournament. The previous best
was 43 percent by top-ranked
Duke in the regional semifinals.
Michigan State never seemed
fazed by the pressure, beating it
early with long passes. The Spar
tans were their usual efficient
selves when they did run their
halfcourt game, getting good
looks and crashing the boards
and a slight breeze.

ble-header sweep of Southern
Oregon on Saturday by winning
the second game 4-1.
The Ducks had two solid per
formances from their left-handed
starters, Regan Shaller and Kurt
Langworthy. Both pitchers threw
complete games.
Oregon coach Rich Fay said
he couldn’t say enough about
the pitchers’ performances.
Shaller started the first game in
stead of injured Zach Ross and
struck out 12 of the Raiders’ bat
ters. Shaller came out strong,
striking out six of the first seven
when they missed.

“I knew they were going to
win, especially when Mateen
came back this year,” Johnson
said on the court as the Spartans
cut down the nets.
“It’s been tough waiting these
21 years, but they’ve been great
the last couple of years, and I
knew they were going to win it

Michigan State, which beat
Wisconsin 53-41 in an ugly all

all six games on its title run by at

Ty Cademartori hit a solo home

The Gators had a total of seven

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 4). You have
the power of 10 ordinary mortals this year. Use
it wisely! You're awesome in April, if a tad im
petuous. Watch where you're going in May. An
accident could be expensive. Advice given in
secret could help you win in August. Expect
surprises around September and October, espe
cially from an opposite type friend. Travel in
early December to miss confusion later. Pass
on a get-rich-quiclc scheme around February. It
works better for the other person. Keep a fe
male friend's secret in March.
