Orange flavor
Syracuse's Warrick named Big East player of the year
NEW YORK (AP) -- Hakim Warrick, the second-leading scorer and fourth-leading rebounder in the Big East this season, was selected the conference player of the year on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-8 senior forward, a preseason All-America, was chosen in a vote of the league's coaches.
Al Skinner, who led Boston College to a share of the regular-season title with Connecticut in the Eagles' last season in the Big East, was chosen the coach of the year.
Warrick led the Orange, who finished third in the league, with averages of 22.1 points and 7.6 rebounds. One of the country's best dunkers, he is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and has scored in double figures in 57 straight games.
He is the third Syracuse player to win the honor, joining Derrick Coleman in 1990 and Billy Owens in 1991.
It is the second time Skinner has been chosen coach of the year. The other was in 2000-01 when the Eagles also went 13-3 in the league. Boston College, a charter member of the Big East, leaves for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
Sophomore Josh Boone of Connecticut was chosen the defensive player of the year, the third straight season a Husky won the award. Emeka Okafor was the defensive player of the year the last two seasons.
Rudy Gay of Connecticut and Jeff Green of Georgetown were chosen co-rookies of the year, while Jared Dudley of Boston College and Marcus Williams of Connecticut shared Most Improved Player honors.
Senior Josh Pace of Syracuse won the Sportsmanship Award. ¶ 3/09/2005 07:18:00 PM 0 comments

Why are my shoes still on?
Did I put them on to check the mail and then leave them on 10 hours ago?
I didn't do anything else today.
That's weird.
I blanked on that one.
I don't mind that they are still on. It's very cold in here. But still.
Wow. ¶ 3/09/2005 12:15:00 AM 0 comments

#1 in the World
Tiger Woods reclaimed his #1 ranking today in an epic battle vs Phil Mickelson.
In a titanic battle on the Blue Monster before a sellout crowd, Woods made a 30-foot birdie putt on the 17th, then held his breath as the resilient Mickelson nearly chipped in for birdie on the final hole. After four hours of dramatic shifts in momentum and thunderous cheers, Woods ended a spectacular duel with a 6-foot par putt.
That gave him a 6-under 66 for a one-shot victory in the Ford Championship at Doral, putting Woods back at No. 1 in the world ranking for the first time since September.
