took the court against USC..."
Arizona survived that contest, went
on to play Washington, and fell to the
Huskies, 90-85, on Friday.
Oh well.
He wouldn't have
hit water if...
In the last game of his career,
Desmon Farmer didn't wow the fans
at Staples Center.
He wouldn't have wowed the fans
at McArthur Court, or even a high
school gym. Maybe, just maybe, he
would've been on target in a middle
school basketball game.
He was 2 of 20 from the field in the
Trojans' loss. Better yet, the second
field goal came late in the game. Last
ly, Farmer was 0 for 12 from beyond
the three-point line and didn't make
a free throw in three attempts.
"Desmon had a tough night, but
that's the way the basketball bounces
sometimes," USC head coach Henry
Bibby said. "We haven't had one of
those nights like that from Desmon this
year, so I guess he was due for one."
The Trojans might have been in bet
ter shape had the team been able to
shoot period. USC hit on 36 percent of
its shots, just 31.8 in the first half, and
was horrid from the free-throw line.
The Trojans were 12 of 21 from the
charity stripe.
And to think, USC lost by just three.
Unofficially, right?
Los Angeles Times' columnist T.J.
Simers made sure to give credit to
those who deserved it off the court.
Simers rated Oregon's cheerleaders
the best in the tournament, "after con
siderable scrutiny," of course.
It was no question, he wrote, for the
third year in a row.

SPORTS BRIEF
Terrapins win ACC
Tournament
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Daniel
Ewing pulled the front of his jersey
over the front of his face to hide tears
on the bench in the closing seconds.
Chris Duhon slumped forward,
hands on his knees, and stared at the
floor. Duke's drive for a sixth-straight
ACC title had been derailed Sunday
afternoon by a Maryland team that re
fused to quit.
After trailing by 12 with 3 min
utes, 30 seconds to play in regula
tion, the Terrapins forced overtime
and won, 95-87, in the ACC tourna
ment final at the Greensboro Colise
um. Tournament most valuable play
er John Gilchrist scored 26 points,
including a driving three-point play
with 20.3 seconds remaining that
sent the game to overtime.
Maryland coach Gary Williams
called two timeouts in 20 seconds as
the game began slipping away from
the Terrapins. Maryland had led by 11
points in the first half but trailed 74
62 when Williams called the second
timeout with 4:49 remaining.
Williams told them they had played
too well to give it away. Duke went 0
for-6 from the field with two turnovers
the rest of the way in regulation.
"Those guys are going to get tired
just like anybody else," Gilchrist said.
"They got tired. They started missing
shots. We got the rebound, and we
were off and running."
