The Big 12 Indoor Track meet was held last week in Ames, but Jamaal Tinsley wasn't a participant. The Iowa State guard was busy running the show for the Cyclones' basketball squad. Of course, Tinsley has never run track and never plans to, but when he arrived at Iowa State the team's preseason regimen made him think he was out for the wrong sport. So, having seen double doses of teams led by Player of the Year candidates Chris Mihm , Desmond Mason and Eduardo Najera , Bliss was not relishing Wednesday's opportunity to host Iowa State and Marcus Fizer . Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said forget those numbers, the Tigers can stroke it.
Nobody has five guys who can shoot it as well as they do.
I would bet my house on it. Texas Tech coach James Dickey said he hopes to have big men Andy Ellis and Cliff Owens back at full strength this spring. Owens, a 6-8 junior from Santa Fe, has not played all season and will take a redshirt because of a foot injury. He should begin individual workouts in a month. He should be ready to go by May 1.
