Jayhawks O utrun Ducks, Advance to Final 4
(AP) - Kansas met a team that
w an ted to ru n w ith it. The
Jayhawks ran and jumped all over
Oregon instead.
Drew Gooden and NickCollison
each had double-doubles by early
in the second half Sunday and
top-seeded Kansas never trailed
in a 104-86 rout of the Ducks that
put the Jayhawks in the Final
Four.
Kansas controlled the fast, end-
to-end action and dominated the
boards, outrebounding second-

Jayhawks grabbed 26 o f their re
bounds on offense.
“We knew the way to beat them
was to beat them on the boards
and get extra shots,” Gooden said.
“I think it was contagious. We
were relentless out there on the
backboards.”

rebounds and Collison added 25

Woods’ March to the
Masters Begins in Victory
Tyson-Lewis Fight
Ringside tickets may go as high as $2,500
(AP) — Lennox Lewis and
Mike Tyson will meet June 8 in
Memphis for the heavyweight
cham pionship, under a deal
wrapped up Monday night after
weeks of on-again off-again ne
gotiations.
Tyson adviser Shelly Finkel
confirmed that an agreement had
been reached and that both fight
ers were signed and committed
to the match. Showtime cable
network spokeswoman Marina

Hill Invitational. (AP Photo)
(AP) — Tiger Woods began
his march to the Masters with his
first victory of the year Sunday, a
four-shot margin at the Bay Hill
Invitational that was secured by
Phil M ickelson’s blunders on the
closing holes.
Trailing M ickelson by one
stroke at the turn, Woods played
mistake-free when the pressure
was at its peak and closed with a
3-under 69 to become the first
player to win Arnold Palmer’s tour
nament three years in a row.
Woods finished at 275 and won
for the 30th time in his career. At
age 26, he is the youngest player
in PGA Tour history to reach that
benchmark.
He also became the first player
to make it three in a row at three
PGA Tour events, having already
c o m p le te d the hat tric k at
Firestone and the Memorial Tour
nament.
A year ago, Woods ended talk
about a slump by firing a 5-iron
into 15 feet for birdie on the final
hole to defeat Mickelson by one
stroke at Bay Hill.
A year ago, W oods rode the
m om entum o f his first victory
into h isto ry — T he P layers
C ham pionship the follow ing
week, then his second victory in
the M asters to becom e the first
player to sweep the four profes
sional majors.
Blazers Stunned by Grizzlies at Home
(AP) - The Portland Trail Blaz
ers have taken pride in the way
they’ve been able to come back
following an ugly loss.
If they can somehow forget
Monday night ’ s debacle, the B laz-
ers will be ready for the playoffs.
If they can’t, they might be des
tined to repeat last season’s melt
down.
“W e’ll see,” Portland’s Derek
Anderson said. “The saga con
tinues. We will see.”
Rodney Buford scored 14 of
his 20 points in the fourth quarter,
androokie Will Solomon added 10
in the period as the Memphis Griz
zlies rallied from a 19-point deficit
in the fourth quarter to beat the
Trail Blazers, 103-100.
Last year, the Blazers lost 17 of
their last 25 games and were swept
by the Lakers in the first round of
the playoffs. This season, they
stumbled to a 13-18 record, but
rallied to win 30 of their next 38
games and move into the fifth
playoff position in the Western
Conference.
Portland hardly has time to
mope; it begins an important four-
day stretch against three playoff-
bound team s on W ednesday,
starting with San Antonio and
continuing with the Lakers and
Seattle.
“Tomorrow will be a new day,”
said Shawn Kemp, who started in
place of the injured Rasheed
Wallace. “W e've got such a big
week ahead coming up that we
can’t sit back and worry about
that right now. It’s not going to do
the Blazers any good right now.”
Capurro also confirmed the fight
was on.
The bout is expected to be
held at the Pyramid arena, which
will seat about 20,000. Ringside
tickets will be priced as high as
$2,500.
The m ajor stum bling block
- a $12.5 m illion site fee - re
portedly had been resolved by
giving local promoters in Mem
phis more time to get a letter of
credit.
