Final Fourmula

Cats offer
coach tips
for success
in Final Four

By Brett Dawson
Sen/or Slit/l” 'ritt'I‘

his is getting to be old hat for
\\'a_vne ’l'urner.
ln his first two seasons at
L'ls'. the minor point guard
saw his \\'ildcats advance to two
Final Fours. In this, his iunior sea:
son, 'luriier has otice again played a
pivotal role in leading the (Iats to
college basketball's promised land.

“I've gotten pretty used to the
hype and the attention," 'l‘urner said.
"'l'bat kind of stuff won't be much of
a distraction at all."

lurner can use that experience to
help L'K‘s Final Four first—timers.
which include key contributors lles—
hinm F.\'ans' and Saul Smith iv and.
oi course. Saul's pop. ['ls (:(HlCli
'l'ubby Smith.

Despite the fact that his players
have a combined 13 Fitial Fours under
their collective belt, the closest the
ER coach has been to the spectacle
has been the seats he's botight himself.

"'l‘hat probably looks a little weird
looking from the outside in." said
L'K center Nair .\lohammed, a two~
titiie Final Fotir participant, “liut we
don't think about it. \Ve know (loach
Smith is a great coach. and we know
what a great job he's done to get its
to this point. lt doesn‘t matter to us
that he‘s never been to a Final Four."

If ever there was a year that being
a Final Four rookie seemed mean—
ingless. this is the one. L'tali’s Rick
.\la|erus‘. North (larolina's Bill
(iiithridge and Stanford‘s Mike
.\lontgomery all are coaching iti
their first Final Fours.

And having a roster stacked with
Final Four appearances can’t hurt
Smith. Among this year's partici—
pants. otily the (iats and Tar Heels
have players who have seen the Final
Four up close and personal.

“’l‘hat's not to say Stanford and
Utah won‘t (be focused), btit I
remember the first time l went, I was
in awe of the whole thing, of all the
fans there, of all the hoopla, of all the
media," [is senior (Iameron Mills
said, ”lt‘s an amazing thing, but once
you've done something it kind of
loses its flavor the next year."

That been—there, done-that
approach runs from all five L'K
starters to walk—on Steve .\lasiello.
;\nd the attittide can't help btit spread
from those players to their coach.

“The experienced guys can give
advice to the newcomers, like me,"
Smith said. “Fm learning a lot from
these guys."

.\lills. who, like Turner and
.\lohaiiiiiied, will be making his third
Final Four trip, offered tip sortie of

That is what UK's three senior
tri-captains, swingman Allen
Edwards, and shooting guards Jeff
Shep’pard and Cameron Mills,
have accom lished since their
arrival in the luegrass.

Not too shabby for a guy who

seriously pondered transferring
(Edwards). another who sacrificed
a year by redshirting to bolster the
team the tollowing year (Shep-
iard), and a third guy who was told
he would never see the court wear-
ing a Kentucky uniform (Mills).

ln this year's tiiiracle run to its
third-consecutive Final Four, ['K
overcame obstacle after obstacle,
then proceeded to storm past a
supposedly invincible Duke Blue
Devil team into college basket-
ball's most prestigious event.

Reaching this point has not come
easily for the (Iats. btit behind
