____________________ 7_ Sports TI he CI ac I íamas P rìnt WEdNEsdAy, M arc U 07, 2001 Men’s Basketball Season Men’s Basketball MVP injured before NWAACC tournament DARREL HOBSON Staf Writer Earlier this week, Point Guard Mark Campbell received Southern Division Most Valuable Player honors. No sooner than the award was given, Campbell hurt his wrist on his shoot ing hand. The injury occurred during warm-ups for Monday’s scrimmage against Mt Hood Community College. Broken or sprained, Campbell is not likely to see any action at the NWAACC tournament. If he does play, he will not be 100% and it will be hard for him to put up the numbers that earned him a MVPaward. This is not the first time the Cou gars had to play without Campbell. The college had not cleared Campbell’s transcripts in time for the first tourna ment of the year. In that situation, Michael Kuebler played the point guard position. Cliff Wegner, head coach, says he will again have Kuebler fill in at the point guard position. However, Kuebler has not played that position much in the second half of the season so the Cougars continue to face more Coach of the Year: Cliff Wegner Team Record Overall: 26-3 Team Offense: 97.1 Team Defense: 81.9, challenges on their way to the NWAACC tournament. The first round, Clackamas is set to play Columbia Basin from the Eastern Division tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. The Cougars are favored to beat the 15and 13 Columbia Basin team and should win even without Campbell. YourCou- gars will be playing in the NWAACC tournament March 8-11 at Shoreline Community College in Seattle.

So what the real world, we have DARREL HOBSON do the Blazers learned that this doesn’t Sports Columnist want with a point work. If it did, the Blazers guard who has a would be the defending record of being difficult to work world champions and not the Lak with and is one of the most fined ers. players this year in the NBA? What about this year, the Blazer Hopefully, Portland just hopefuls say? If the Blazers win it snatched him up so the Lakers all (and I don’t think they will) then couldn’t get him. After the season, it will be because Mike Dunleavy will tighten the rotation during the playoffs and only play seven or eight players at the most. It won’t matter if he has the deepest bench in all of the NBA. Also, Wallace will have dominated every game and he’ll have to find a way not to get ejected. Historically, the teams that win in the NBA Finals, with the ex ception of the Chicago Bulls, are teams that have a dominant cen ter and shooting guard. The Blazers have neither. The Lakers have both and the Sixers have the best guard center combo in the East with the acquisition of Mutombo. Will Rod Strickland be the key to the Blazers run for the title? I doubt it. Who will be the 2001 NBA champion? Honestly, I have no idea. The records are so close in the West and it’s either the Knicks or Sixers in the East. This is the reason I do not bet on sports!
