It was a horrible, horrible week.
I missed so many games last week that I won't
even bore you with the details. Instead, I'll just
give you the high. . ? er, lowlights.
Lowest of the low was Arizona over the University
of California Los Angeles. Horrible, just horrible.
I didn't want to pick that game, I really
didn't. Honest. But my assistant, Chris Silvestri,
said he had a strong, almost overwhelming, feeling
that Arizona was going to win and begged me to
pick a Bruin loss.
Of course, I refused.
Silvestri immediately went into a violent, uncon
trollable temper tantrum (you know how freshmen
are) and threatened to jump off the third floor of
the Russell House unless I picked an Arizona win
as my upset special.
Of course, I felt it was my duty as a sports editor
and as a responsible citizen to appease him and prevent
this unnecessary loss of life. I hope you're
happy, Chris.
OK, OK, so maybe it didn't happen exactly that
way, but it was still a good excuse, don't you
think?
I also missed my second upset special (Houston
over Arkansas) and all four of those fickle Atlantic
Coast Conference games.
The official record last week was 11-8 (a meager
.579 percentage). That dropped the season record
to 91-25 (.786)
Horrible, just horrible.

team defeat a scrappy Clemson team, li

proved their record to 18-8 with their p;
11th win in their last 12 games,
despite, as Coach Bonnie Kenny said, te
a very "sluggish" performance. tr
USC controlled the first two games g<
of the match fairly easily, winning
both 15-7, but seemed to lose con- M
fidence in game three. Despite a ti<
12-10 lead by the Lady Gamecocks
late in the third game, Clemson
fought back with five consecutive w
points to win the battle. th
But the Lady Tigers wouldn't win nt
the war, as USC opened game four th
with six consecutive points en route A
to a 10-4 lead. Yet the Clemson M
squad once again fought back to

Coach Kenny was disappointed

"We played terrible," Kenny said.
There was no reason for us to play
