Sweet 16 and four teams to the
Elite Eight in women's play.
Tennessee won the championship

So congratulations, Mike, you

What is Stephon Marbury
linking? Going to the NBA because
a good freshman season? Well, I
link Stephon needs to realize a '
ling or two. A good showing in the
CAA tournament doesn't make
)u ready for the NBA.
If you haven't heard, Marbury
mounced Wednesday night his
jcision to leave Georgia Tech and
irn pro alter one year ot college
isketball.
True, he could possibly make it
l the NBA with little college
cperience. Some such as Shawn
emp have made it with no college
cperience, which is what Kevin
arnett is now trying to do. But the
ct remains, college grooms players
r the pros. College not only allows
le player's talent to grow, but it
[so allows the player to mature
lentally and physically.
Stephen is cutting himself short
y turning pro. Even if he makes it
g, you will always have to wonder
would have been a better pro player
he had stayed in college and
jveloped there. I now wonder that
wut Kemp. He is a great player,
it would he be one of the top few
ayers such as a Michael Jordan,
?ttie Pippen or Hakeem Olajuwon
he had played college basketball?
And to Marbuiys coach Bobby
remins, I would like to say, tough
ick.
You know when a player commits
> a college it is a commitment to
ay ball tbae. Even though he played
season at Georgia Tech, he reneged
ihis commitment to the school
nd his coach. Now Bobby, I guess
ou know what it is like to have
