SEC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 No. 6 seed Vanderbilt (23-9) had a slightly easier trip to the Sweet 16, beating an overmatched No. 11 seed Western Michigan team in the first round. However, the Commodores had a real test in the second round, surviving a tough 75-73 game with No. 3 seed N.C. State (21-10). Vandy’s trip to the Regional Semifinals is especially interest ing, considering that the Dores were the last SEC chosen for the tournament and were chosen by the media to be the second-worst team in the conference at the be ginning of the season. “There were a lot of people out there who doubted our team ever since the beginning of the season,” guard Scott Hundley said to the Nashville Tennessean. “It’s one of those things where we took pride coming out and proving everyone wrong. It just makes it that much sweeter.” Vanderbilt has an exacting challenge ahead, though, in fac ing No. 2 seed UConn (29-6) and its standout forward/center, Emeka Okafor. Vandy’s Corey Smith played against Okafor in high school in Texas, and is impressed with Okafor’s transition to college play. “I don’t know who he got with or who was working with him, but he was a shot blocker in his senior year just like he is now,” Smith said to the Tennessean. “I think when he got to UConn, they helped him out a lot with his offensive game and turned him into a com plete player.” On Thursday, Vanderbilt will try and pull an upset over UConn at 7:10 p.m. and, following that contest in Phoenix, Alabama will attempt to dethrone defending champion Syracuse at 9:40 p.m. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecocksports@gwm.sc.edu SEC.

NBA I CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 handful of teams without a power ful force like Robert Parish. The Chief needs to crawl out of a lowly, six-figure retirement and drag his brittle ankles onto the floor. He could drag Carmelo and LeBron up and down the floor in his wheelchair. At least he’s still got a soul. This challenge goes out to all eternally-sore NBA retirees: get back on the bright shiny floor and make the game interesting again.
