Perspective: Governor feels budget.pressures BY STEPHEN MAJORS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS The worsening state . budget crisis will test the political met· tie of Gov. Ted Strickland, who promoted a handful of governing principles before he knew just how difficult the budget environment would become. Among them: No tall increases. no expansion of gambling and a new school funding plan. They are practical as indi~idual goals, more difficult if done together, and extremely challenging when the state is facing a projected $7 billion deficit over the next two-year budget cycle. "Those three things are on a collision course," state Rep. Jay Hottinger, a Newark Republican. said recently. "Something's gotta give." Holding the line on tux raises eliminates one of the few ways to increase rev~· ,. . enue, putting more pressure on secondury options. such 1as expanded gambling. Eliminating revenueoptions makes it n1ore difficult to maintain current education spending lev7ts, much less the increase m state spending that would likely be needed to make Ohio's school funding system constitutional.

WHAT'S AT STAKE The Longhorns (Il-l) have a slim shot at a share of the national title. They'd need to leap from No. 3 to No. l-in The Associated Press poll, and that would presumably require No. I Rorida to lose to second-rated Oklahoma in the Bowl Championship Series title game. The Longhorns would have to 1\ope- the pollsters credit them for handing the Sooners their only loss in October. For the Buckeyes, the Fiesta Bowl represents a chance to restore their place among the national elite after lopsided losses in the last two BCS title games. The first of those defeats came two years ago in University . of Phoenix Stadium, site of Monday night's game. KEY MATCHUP i!- Tellas' offense against Ohio State's defense. The Buckeyes allow 13 points per game, seventh in the nation. But their supposedly stout defense was exposed by Rorida and LSU in the last two BCS title ~eames. The Buckeyes have to figure out a way to slow He1sman Trophy runnerup Colt McCoy. who directs an offense av~raging 43.9 points per game. fifth in the nation . .

Terrelle Pryor is the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Ohio State since Art Schlichter in 1978. Big Ten fromPageBl I Tpe Big Ten's only victory in this postseason came in the Outback Bowl, where Iowa hammered South Carolina 31-10. · Later in the day, sixthranked Penn State fell to No. 3 Southern California 38-24 in the Rose Bowl - a respectable final score after the Trojans led 31-7 at halftime .'. USC played Big Ten cochamps Penn State and Ohio State on the West Coast this year and beat them by a combined 73·27. Add it all up and a onceproud conference is hurting. But the Buckeyes know that they can polis)! the Big Ten's reputation by heating the Longhorns. "We can't really argue with. what people say because the Big Ten hasn't played well in the bow I games ," cornerback Malcolm Jenkins said.' "But that really has nothing to do with what we do as a team. Of course it's unfortunate to see our conference play out like that, but at the same time, we can come out with . a win and a lot of things will chan~e." · Oh10 State coach Jim Tressel dismissed suggestions that tbe . Big Ten's bowl struggles bode ill for the Buckeyes {10-2) against the Lon~homs (11-1), who came w1thin a whisker of playing for the national title. .''1 dQn't know w.hat the other . bowl games really have to do with it," Tressel said. . In college football, teams typically put aside rivalries and root for fellow conference members in the pPStseason. The Buckeyes were coming off the practice field Thursday when they learned that Michigan State, coached by former Buckeyes assistant Mark Dantonio, led Georgia at halftime. "Of course we were rooting for the Big Ten , no question about it." Tressel said.· "One of my guys. Mark Dantonio. was up 6-3 at the half. We announced it to the team as we were leaving practice and they cheered like crazy." The cheers subsided as Georgia rallied to hand the Spartans their third straight bowl loss. The Buckeyes seem puzzled by the Big Ten's showing this bowl season. But they dispute the widespread perception that the conference lacks the speed and skill to compete on a nationallevel. ''When you talk about the interior guys that these other conferences have, smaller but faster guys, we have the · bigger, muscle guys. So I think in the interior, I think there is a little bit of difference in the speed," Jenkins said. "But if you are talking about just perimeter guys, I don 't think there is any differ-ence." Whether it·'s fast or slow, the Big Ten has unquestionably returned to its groundhugging roots this season with three. of the nation's top seven rushers: Iowa's Shonn Greene, Michigan State's Javon Ringer and Ohio State's Beanie Wells. The · Big Ten's top-rated passer is Penn State's Daryll Clark, who ranks 22nd nationally. At a time when many elite teams feature video gamelike offenses, the Big Ten seems content to plod along as if this were the 1950s except that in the '50s, the Big Ten won six straight Rose Bowls. freshman in 2003 and led Texas to the 2005 national championship.

(AP) West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins knows that with the style of pli!Y his Mountaineers utilize and the players he has. there's bound to be balanced scoring. "The way we play, everyone is going to touch the basketball," Huggins said after six of h1s players reached double figures in a 92-66 rout of Seton Hall on Saturday. "The style Qf pJay lends itself to having people becoming multidimensional ·and getting the opportunities like this," said Huggins , whose team won ils fifth straight. "It's imperative for us to get everyone involved in all aspects of the game. and it's not easy with the schedule we play." Alex Ruoff and DaSean Butler scored 18 points each to pace the Mountaineers (11-2, 1-0 in Big East), while Butler also pulled down nine rebounds. John Flowers added 14 points and Kevin Jones added 12. while Darryl Bryant and Devin Ebanks each had 10. Jeremy Hazell had a game-high 29 points for Seton Hall (9-5, 0-2). while Eugene Harvey added 13 points. The Mountaineers were in command for most of the game and led 40-31 at the break. They then held double-digit leads in the second half before Hazell scored five straight points to cut the lead to 63-55. However, West Virginia then sealed the win with a 12-2 run late in the half. Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez marve Ie d at the play of Ruoff and Butler. "I think they're two of the most underrated and underappreciated players in the league, if not the country," Gonzalez said. "They killed us in the second half. They just took over and knew how to put us away.'' The win was • West Virginia's fourth straight over Seton Hall , who have played poorly in both of their Big East games this season. The Pirate ~ also ' dropped a I00-76decisionat Syracuse last Tuesday, but Gonzalez isn't overly concemed. "You can't get too down, you have to hang in there.

WHAT'S AT STAKE The Longhorns (Il-l) have a slim shot at a share of the national title. They'd need to leap from No. 3 to No. l-in The Associated Press poll, and that would presumably require No. I Rorida to lose to second-rated Oklahoma in the Bowl Championship Series title game. The Longhorns would have to 1\ope- the pollsters credit them for handing the Sooners their only loss in October. For the Buckeyes, the Fiesta Bowl represents a chance to restore their place among the national elite after lopsided losses in the last two BCS title games. The first of those defeats came two years ago in University . of Phoenix Stadium, site of Monday night's game. KEY MATCHUP i!- Tellas' offense against Ohio State's defense. The Buckeyes allow 13 points per game, seventh in the nation. But their supposedly stout defense was exposed by Rorida and LSU in the last two BCS title ~eames. The Buckeyes have to figure out a way to slow He1sman Trophy runnerup Colt McCoy. who directs an offense av~raging 43.9 points per game. fifth in the nation . . FACTS & FIGURES A Texas victory would move the l.onghoms ahead of Notre Dame for second place on the all-time major-college list. They're tied with 831. and Michigan leads wuh 872 .... This is Texas' lith straight bowl appearance, a school · record. The Longhorns hav~ won six of their last seven. including BCS victories over Michigan and Southern California in the Rose Bowl. ... The Buckeyes are 8-6 against the Top 10 under Jim Tressel but have lost four straight. Tressel's Buckeyes have knocked off No. I Miami. No. 8 Kansas State and No. 6 Nlillre Dame in the Fiesta .... . McCoy led Texas in passing and rushing yards this year. ·The only others to do that at Texas are Vince Young in 2005 and Bobby Layne in 1946.... This will he the final game for 28 Ohio , State seniors, including linebacker James Lauririaitis, receiver Brian Robiskie and· offensive tackle Alex Boone. They've won 43 games as a group. matching the previous school record owned by the 2005 and 1998 seniors. At the other end of the career spectrum. Terrelle Pryor is the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Ohio State since Art Schlichter in 1978. Big Ten fromPageBl I Tpe Big Ten's only victory in this postseason came in the Outback Bowl, where Iowa hammered South Carolina 31-10. · Later in the day, sixthranked Penn State fell to No. 3 Southern California 38-24 in the Rose Bowl - a respectable final score after the Trojans led 31-7 at halftime .'. USC played Big Ten cochamps Penn State and Ohio State on the West Coast this year and beat them by a combined 73·27. Add it all up and a onceproud conference is hurting. But the Buckeyes know that they can polis)! the Big Ten's reputation by heating the Longhorns. "We can't really argue with. what people say because the Big Ten hasn't played well in the bow I games ," cornerback Malcolm Jenkins said.' "But that really has nothing to do with what we do as a team. Of course it's unfortunate to see our conference play out like that, but at the same time, we can come out with . a win and a lot of things will chan~e." · Oh10 State coach Jim Tressel dismissed suggestions that tbe . Big Ten's bowl struggles bode ill for the Buckeyes {10-2) against the Lon~homs (11-1), who came w1thin a whisker of playing for the national title. .''1 dQn't know w.hat the other . bowl games really have to do with it," Tressel said. . In college football, teams typically put aside rivalries and root for fellow conference members in the pPStseason. The Buckeyes were coming off the practice field Thursday when they learned that Michigan State, coached by former Buckeyes assistant Mark Dantonio, led Georgia at halftime. "Of course we were rooting for the Big Ten , no question about it." Tressel said.· "One of my guys. Mark Dantonio. was up 6-3 at the half. We announced it to the team as we were leaving practice and they cheered like crazy." The cheers subsided as Georgia rallied to hand the Spartans their third straight bowl loss. The Buckeyes seem puzzled by the Big Ten's showing this bowl season. But they dispute the widespread perception that the conference lacks the speed and skill to compete on a nationallevel. ''When you talk about the interior guys that these other conferences have, smaller but faster guys, we have the · bigger, muscle guys. So I think in the interior, I think there is a little bit of difference in the speed," Jenkins said. "But if you are talking about just perimeter guys, I don 't think there is any differ-ence." Whether it·'s fast or slow, the Big Ten has unquestionably returned to its groundhugging roots this season with three. of the nation's top seven rushers: Iowa's Shonn Greene, Michigan State's Javon Ringer and Ohio State's Beanie Wells. The · Big Ten's top-rated passer is Penn State's Daryll Clark, who ranks 22nd nationally. At a time when many elite teams feature video gamelike offenses, the Big Ten seems content to plod along as if this were the 1950s except that in the '50s, the Big Ten won six straight Rose Bowls. freshman in 2003 and led Texas to the 2005 national championship.

(AP) West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins knows that with the style of pli!Y his Mountaineers utilize and the players he has. there's bound to be balanced scoring. "The way we play, everyone is going to touch the basketball," Huggins said after six of h1s players reached double figures in a 92-66 rout of Seton Hall on Saturday. "The style Qf pJay lends itself to having people becoming multidimensional ·and getting the opportunities like this," said Huggins , whose team won ils fifth straight. "It's imperative for us to get everyone involved in all aspects of the game. and it's not easy with the schedule we play." Alex Ruoff and DaSean Butler scored 18 points each to pace the Mountaineers (11-2, 1-0 in Big East), while Butler also pulled down nine rebounds. John Flowers added 14 points and Kevin Jones added 12. while Darryl Bryant and Devin Ebanks each had 10. Jeremy Hazell had a game-high 29 points for Seton Hall (9-5, 0-2). while Eugene Harvey added 13 points. The Mountaineers were in command for most of the game and led 40-31 at the break. They then held double-digit leads in the second half before Hazell scored five straight points to cut the lead to 63-55. However, West Virginia then sealed the win with a 12-2 run late in the half. Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez marve Ie d at the play of Ruoff and Butler. "I think they're two of the most underrated and underappreciated players in the league, if not the country," Gonzalez said. "They killed us in the second half. They just took over and knew how to put us away.'' The win was • West Virginia's fourth straight over Seton Hall , who have played poorly in both of their Big East games this season. The Pirate ~ also ' dropped a I00-76decisionat Syracuse last Tuesday, but Gonzalez isn't overly concemed. "You can't get too down, you have to hang in there.

WASHINGTON (AP) Was it a walk? ' LeBron James wants the' NBA to take a closer look at what he cails his "crab dribble." The ri1ove, James insists, does not constitute traveling. A referee disagreed Sunday. James was whistled for taking an extra step while driving for a potential tying layup with 2.3 seconds left, and his Cleveland Cavaliers lost R077 to the Eastern Conferenceworst Washington Wizards despile_ wiping C!Ut a 16-point deficit m the fourth quarter. "Bad call," said James , who compiled 30 points, 10 assists and six rebounds. "We all make mistakes, and I think.I got the wrong end of the bargain. I watched it 10 times after the game, and it was · 'Clearly a good play." Without raising his voice or getting particularly animated, James dissected the game's key sequence . in extensive detail - even pointi1\g QUI that he felt he was fouled as he released the shot, which · went in. "You have your trademark play, and that's one of my plays. It kind of looks like a travel because it's slow, and it's kind of a high-step. but it's a one-tw.o just as fluent as anv other one-two in this league.'! got the wrong end of it, but I think they need to look at it and they need to understand that's not a travel," J;unes said. ;,It's a perfectly legal play. something I've always done ." · Indeed, Washin gtun ·s Caron Butler - who scored 19 points and guarded James most of the game . including on that closing play - remembers that same move, without an official's call. ''I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it," Butler said about what happened Sunday. The Cavs were down 70-54 early in the fourth quarter, then 71-SB after Butler made one of two technical free throws when Cavs head coach Mike Brown was ·tossed for all his pointing and yelling. With assistant coach John Kuester running the team after Browh was restrained and led off the court, the Cavs chipped away until James' drive with I :0 I left tied it at 77-all. None of his teammates scored more than 13 points, the Cavaliers shot 39 percent for"the game and they were held to their lowest point tollil this season. At 77-77, Cleveland's Delonte West missed a 3point attempt, and ,Dominic · ·McGuire grabbed the rebou_nd while being scratched below the left eye by James, drawing some blood. The Wizards called timeout and set up Antawn Jamison's baseline jumper with 10.5 seconds left Jamison led Washington with · 26 · points and 13 1'ebounds, while McGuire had I0 points and 10 rebounds for his first ·NBA double,double. Cleveland's 'next \'?ssession ended with James travel, and Butler added a free throw for the . tinal margin.
