Jackie
Robinson tops NCAA list
Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Jesse
Owens, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John Wooden top the list of the NCAA's "100
Most Influential Student-Athletes."
As part of the NCAA Centennial
celebration in 2006, ESPN Classic began airing Monday a pair of one-hour
programs highlighting the 100 Most Influential NCAA Student-Athletes. The
two shows count down student-athletes from 100 to 51 and 50 to 1,
respectively.
The program specials will re-air
several times on ESPNU, the 24-hour college sports network.
"The list of 100 student-athletes
represents the best of what college sports and higher education bring to our
society," said NCAA President Myles Brand. "Their collective positive impact
serves as a model for today's student-athletes."
The NCAA defines the 100 Most
Influential Student-Athletes as those who have made a significant impact or
major contributions to society.
For the complete list, go to
www.ncaa.com and click on 100 Most Influential
Student-Athletes.
UTEP out of NIT
Chris Hunter scored a season-high 20
points and Dion Harris added 18 to lead Michigan to its sixth straight
postseason win, an 82-67 victory over Texas-El Paso in the NIT on Thursday.
Jason Williams had 25 points and Miguel
Ayala added 10 for the Miners (21-10), who have not won consecutive
postseason games since their 1992 run to the NCAA tournament's round of 16.
Michigan (19-10), the 2004 NIT
champion, broke a three-game losing streak and will host Notre Dame in a
second-round game Monday.
Bomb scare delays San Diego
regional
The Alabama-Marquette basketball game
in the NCAA basketball tournament was held up Thursday morning after
security found a suspicious package atop a condiment stand at San Diego
State University's Cox Arena, according to a San Diego Union-Tribune report.
Fire Department bomb technicians using
a robot determined the package to be harmless. The delay left an estimated
2,000 people waiting outside the gates until the “all clear” was sounded
about 11:15 a.m. Fans were allowed into the area about 45 minutes later.
The contents of the package turned out
to be non-food items related to the condiment stand — plastic eating
utensils, napkins and Styrofoam cups, said Fire Department spokesman Maurice
Luque.
An earlier report that the package was
a briefcase was erroneous.
The first game was pushed back to 12:50
p.m., with the start of each subsequent game delayed by 70 minutes.
Two bomb-sniffing dogs belonging to
arena security “alerted” on the package about two hours before Alabama was
due to tip off against Marquette at Cox Arena, according to a university
official.
Authorities then decided to conduct a
more thorough search.
