WASHINGTON The
House approved a $390 bil-
lion budget bill Thursday
leaving Congress one step
from wrapping tip its long

, was difficult as several
senators threatened to hold
the measure hostage to spe»

Capping a year born in

the spent House approved a
bipartisan deal including mon-

chases and home-district

The package. merging ltJ

weeks of negotiation that (lid

provisions for mining and
other industries that the ad-
ministration said would
harm the environment.

The president gained
about $5 billion in year-end
negotiations. And the Re-
publicans had already added
riiore than $30 billion over
last year‘s totals before bar-
gaining even began.

“We think the end result
reflects the president‘s prior-
ities and the American peo-
ple's priorities." said White
House budget chief Jack Lew.

Majerus fine with UK hiytor

Utah coach looks forward to matchup

By Adam Spaw

SPORISDAILY EDITOR—

It really doesn‘t bother
Rick Majerus that UK has de-
feated his Utah basketball team
four times this decade in the
NCAA Tournament. In fact.
Majerus considers himself a
Kentucky fan.

"I really like it here." Ma
jerus said. “’I‘hey've got great
food. the people are nice and
you can speed in most places."

UK dealt Majerus losses in
1993. 1996, 1997 and in the 1998
National Championship gatne.
when the Wildcats brought
their seventh title to Lexington
after a 78-69 win over the Utes.
Despite his teams' recent mis-
fortunes versus the Cats. the
Utah head coach shutters at the
notion of a so-called hex.

"Everybody makes a big
deal about those losses." Ma-
jerus said. “The fact is. we lost
to a better program. I mean.
they're America's team of the
century. We‘re lucky if we're
Utah's teatn. with BYU"

Utah has risen to national
prominence since Majerus'
1989 arrival in Salt Lake City.
where he has added to his 15—
year career winning percent-
age of .744. the fourth-highest
among active Division I coach-
es. Majerus. whose Utah teams
have averaged 24 wins a year.
has been offered jobs frotn big-
ger schools and larger markets.

“I sometimes think what it
would be like to coach here."
Majerus said after his team's
practice in Rupp Arena. “1
mean. look at this place it's a
different world. It's a basketball
state." he added. before looking
up to the arena rafters. “I‘d
hate to have my jersey retired
here. There‘s so many of them
and they‘re so hard to see. I
think we've got four jerseys re-
tired. It looks like we went to
Kinko's and then put them up."

Utah was originally given a
No. 1 seed for this year‘s I’re-

season NIT Tournament before

the tournament committee re

neged its offer. To make up for

the move. Majerus was allowed
to select where he wanted play

l'or the tournament‘s second
round.

“I wanted to play Ken-
tucky." Majerus said. down-
playing the significance of an
early-season upset. “A win
would be great. but a win
means one win. If somebody
tells me it equals two wins.
then I'd be really excited."

Majerus is always prepared
to face UK's heavy arsenal of
talent and he knows the trend

UK gets what it wants. Mike
Southall. a high school blue—
chipper. had narrowed his
choices down to UK anti Utah
before signing with the Cats.

“We were foolish to get in a
recruiting race with these
guys." Majerus said. “I told our
guys. as soon as Kentucky got
in. I wanted to get out. UK re-
cruits itself. They select."

The Utes. on the other
hand...

“We always get a call from
a white guy with a bad hair cut
who says he's the next Keith
Van Horn." Majerus said. “And
the only thing he ends up hav~
ing in common with Keith Van
Horn is that he's white -» , and
has a bad hair cut."

The 1998 NCAA tourna-
ment saw Majerus make it to
his first Final Four.

“I remember looking at the
tournament brackets that year
with a friend." Majerus said.
"We were looking at our oppo-
nents. Arizona and North Car-
olina and so on. and my friend
said 'At least you won't have to
play Kentucky until the cham-
pionship game.‘ I said I'd lay on
the floor and let them run over
the it'that happened and I'll
be damned if we didn't see
those SOB's in the champi<
onship."

After the loss. the coach
went into a three-month state
of depression.

“I finally came to the satis-
faction there was no way we
could've beaten Kentucky." Ma-
jerus said.

As for facing the Cats. Ma-
jerus loves the opportunity.

“We're always better for
the experience. even if we get
our asses kicked." he said.
