BC women chalk up victories
College
, hoops
by Juan Kincaid
So what if I was wrong about the Super
Bowl Pick. It was a first-time pick and now
I'm warmed up for College Basketball.
Yes, it’s College Basketball season again
and I know that you gamblers will be get
ting out the pens and money to place your
bets. So when you go to the betting table,
take these picks with you and bet your
wallet dry. You can’t lose. Here are just a
i few pix.
Spartanburg-Methodist College
At Brevard College — 2/17
“Hey, we’re home and home is where we
should stay.” This is how fans react to the
BC Mens Basketball team. BC has had a
terrible time on the road. But Brevard’s
fan support will bury Spartanburg in the
ground while the BC dunk show will close
the bid.

Morrisiown at Brevard College — 2/20
Say what you want, the last time these
two teams met it wasn’t worth the cost of
f admission for the Brevard fan. Mor
ristown literally blew us out in their small
tupperware shaped gym. But it’s time to
show who the real boys are. BC will return
the favor and treat the fans to a delightful
show of dominance over an opponent.

WCJCC Tournament 2/25-27
As the season comes to an end, the con
ference tournament approaches as in ex
pectation to who will be this year’s con-
I ference champ.
This year’s favorite is North Greenville,
but they will be tested by Brevard College,
Lees-McRae and Anderson College. This
year’s conference tournament will be an
I exciting one for the fan to watch. The tour-
yJiament has yet to find a location. It will be
' announced at a later date.
Wake Forest at
UNC-Chapel Hill — 2/17
j The first time these two teams met Wake
I Forest pulled off probably the biggest
; upset in their team’s history. But don’t ex
pect a repeat of that game. The Tarheels
are playing in their own Dean Dome and
J.R. Reed along with Jeff Lebo will make
this a laugher.
P-Nuts Pix: UNC by 10
N.C. State at Clemson — 2/18
Even though they’re playing at Clemson,
■ State has the obvious advantage, better
ow post men. Charles Shackleford along
'^ith Chucky Brown will rule the boards
and Vinny Del Negro will be on from three
point range. Not taking anything away

Virginia at Duke — 2/17
I After an impressive win over UNC,
'■■ginia should be a cake walk for the Blue
s. With four returning starters for
s year’s line up, it’s no wonder why
® is picked to win the ACC, and
*hp ^ playing Virginia at home
Duke is virtually unstoppable. Duke
hands down.
P-Nuts Pix: Duke by 15
Arizona at UCLA — 2/18
Arizona coach Lute Olson has brought
his Arizona Wildcats team into the rational
spotlights with impressive wins and a
number one ranking. They also have four
returning starters led by junior Sean
Elliot; 19.3 ppg, 6.0 rpg. The UCLA Bruins
will be led by the highly talented Pooh
Richardson. He alone will have to slap the
high scoring Wildcat attach. Is this possi
ble, I don’t think so. Not even the UCLA
fan can keep this from becoming a
massacre.
P-Nuts Pix: Arizona by 12
Florida at Mississippi — 2/17
The Mississippi Rebels would probably
be better off going on a boat ride down the
Mississippi River than to play against the
Gators. This is obviously a mistake in the
Rebel schedule. This game isn’t even
worth elaborating on, but I thought the
Florida students would enjoy hearing
about it. This game will be more of a dunk
ing contest than a basketball game.
P-Nuts Pix: Florida by Alot
South Carolina at Cincinnati — 2/18
Sorry Cincinnati fans but this isn’t even
worth watching on T.V. A victory over the
Gamecocks of South Carolina will be much
harder than to be expected. The
Gamecocks return their leading scorer
Terry Dozier 17.0 ppg/15.4 rpg and he
alone should turn this into a relatively easy
game for the Gamecocks.
P-Nuts Pix: S. Carolina by seven
Other Games:
St. Johns Univ at Syracuse — 2/17
Syracuse’s Rony Seikaly and Sherman
Douglass should dominate.
P-Nut’s Pix: Syracuse by 10
Kentucky at Univ. of Tennessee — 2/17
Kentucky’s Rex Chapman and Ed
Davender will give the Tennessee defense
some problems.
P-Nuts Pix: Kentucky by 12
Pittsburg at Providence — 2/16
Pitt’s Charles Smith, Demetrius Gore
and Jerome Lane will have a field day.
P-Nuts Pix: Pitt by 15
Michigan St. at Indiana — 2/18
No way Bobby Knight would lose in In
diana.
Maryland at Georgia Tech — 2/17
Promises to be a thriller!
P-Nuts Pix: Tech by three
Upset of the Week
Missouri at Iowa St — 2/17
This is a great match-up between two
surprise teams in the Big Eight. Or
Missouri’s side there is Derrick Chievous,
24.1 ppg/8.6 rpg. And on the down State
side there is a man by the name of Jeff
Grayer 22.4 ppg/7.0 rpg. He will have to
lead his down State Cyclones over the
Tigers in a dramatic comeback fashion.
Missouri will lead most of the game but
Iowa St. will walk off victorious.

Well, this is the way I see it, so put your
money on me, ’cause I’m your best bet.

well,” said tennis coach Jane Long.
“Although right now it is too early to see
how the others hit because of the cold.”
Long also said Missy McCranie has been
working hard in the offseason to improve
her game.
Among the conference teams, Lees-
McRae and Anderson, Long expects both
teams to be tough.

Indoor soccer a big
winter sport at BC
by Kim Belanger
Indoor soccer has become an integral
part of Brevard College’s soccer program.
Dave Taylor, who heads both the men
and the women in this club sport, says that
most of the regular players get involved to
improve their skills.
Soccer players aren’t exclusive to this
club sport; indoor soccer is open to
anyone.
Indoor differs from intercollegiate soc
cer in many areas. One noticable dif
ference is the amount of players on each
team. Compared to the standard 11 per
team, indoor soccer uses five players per
side. Other rule changes include no off
sides and no out of bounds. These rules ac
count for the constant action and intensity
of the game.
Tournaments consisting of 16 to 20 teams
play Rough Robin single elimination which
lasts anywhere from one to two days.The
mdividual games last 24 minutes because
of the fast play involved. The tournament
host basically has his own say in the rule
and guidelines area. This individuality
makes each tournament unique though
some general ground rules are set.
Last year, Taylor was satisfied with the
four second place wins Brevard received.
“We l)€at some big schools,” he said.
This year BC goes up against UNC-
Asheville and Maryville in Tennessee on
Feb. 6, One team will travel to each tour
nament. The tournament will consist of 20
teams. Brevard placed second last year at
this event.
On Feb. 12—13, both the teams and the
women will compete against Warren-
Wilson; another tournament which
brought a second place finish for the BC
men’s team.
The women will go on to play Erskine
Feb. 27 and play an outdoor tournament at
Coker College on April 9,
Both teams practice 3 days a week for
approximately an hour to an hour and .i
half,
