Coach K's Blue Devils will make things happen, and look for a Duke-UNLV rematch at the final four. AMAZING STAT: Duke has made the Final Four three of the last four years.

The Lions lost to the Marauders 63-61. Arkansas game. Day was talking trash from the opening tip-off, and it wasn’t any wonder that Stacey Augmon nailed him with a forearm shiver. If Mr. Johnson had gotten a paw on runaway Day, Todd wouldn’t be playing tomorrow. NO LESS THAN SPECTACULAR was Boston Celtic rookie Dee Brown in the slam-dunk contest on. All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, N.C. The (yawn) three-point shooting contest was the usual bore, unless Larry Bird was in it of course, but Dee Brown "pumped" life in the Charlotte arena with an arsenal of acrobatic dunks blending the leaping ability of Spud Webb and the power of Dominique Wilkins. THE MOST MEANINGLESS STAT IN FOOTBALL, the time of possession, suddenly became the most meaningful during Super Bowl XXV.

PSH 61 Millersville 83 The highly-touted Millersville Marauders defeated the Lions but not without a battle.

Too bad all of the Super Bowls don't warrant the title that this game rightfully earned. MY SUPER BOWL PREDICTION HUNG TO THE RIGHT OF THE GOALPOST along with Scott Norwood’s last-second field goal attempt. AN INTERESTING SITUATION CONCERNING the status of the New York Giants quarterback situation. After Jeff Hostetler led the Giants to a Super Bowl victory, Phil Simms may be packing his bags. That's all right, though. Maybe the Pittsburgh Steelcrs will trade Bubby Brister and Tim Worley for Simms. EVERY LITTLE STEP BOBBY TAKES (Bonilla, that is) when it comes to dealing with the Pittsburgh Pirate front office seems to be backwards. Bonilla has reportedly declined a $l4 million four-year contract offered by the CAMP COUNSELORS WANTED Positions available for students interested in providing a summer of recreation for blind and visually handicapped children and adults.
