Rotstein Tucson Ariz. A perhaps Sean Elliott s Only disappointment in breaking Lew Alcindor s Pacific 10 conference career scoring record was that it came on a free throw. Elliott second ranked Arizona s All America for Ward scored his 34th and 35th Points saturday from the foul line breaking the Mark of 2,325 Points set 20 years ago by Alcindor now known As Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The circumstances were ironic and extra Sweet for the 6-foot-8, 21-year-old senior the record breaking Point came against Urcla for which Alcindor played. I know Sean wanted it in this game because he was at Home and because the former record Holder was a Bruin Arizona coach Lute Olson said. This was special a beaming Elliott said. Beating the Bruins by their worst loss margin Ever 102-64, added another dimension As Arizona closed in on its second straight conference title and its third in four years. The wildcats 14-1 in the conference and 20-3 for the season need one More win to Clinch at least a tie for the championship. Urcla whose previous worst loss was by 37 Points in 1985 at North Carolina dropped to 10-4 in the conference and 16-7 Overall. Elliott tied the record with 8 48 to go on a jumper which gave him 33 Points and put the wildcats ahead 77-44. After that he said i was going to drive the Lane for a Dunk. But they were helping out pretty Good and i knew i could t do he tried an 18-foot jumper which went in and out. I was getting some teasers he said. I concentrated As hard As i then with 7 10 to go Trevor Wilson fouled him As he started to drive. Elliott walked to the free throw line nibbled on the right strap of his Jersey smiled broadly and with 13,641 fans roaring broke the record on the first free throw then made his 2,327th Point and 35th of the game. He hit six 3-ppinters in 12 attempts and was 6-for 10 on Shorter shots. In addition he dished off a career High 11 assists As the wildcats turned the game into a rout Early. Elliott also converted All five of his free throws and had seven rebounds and a steal in 33 minutes. The wildcats led from the Start and went ahead 27-15 with 7 47 left in the half As Elliott s slam capped his own 10-2 run. He had 20 Points at half time As Arizona led 41-27. You can t Stop Sean Elliott Urcla s All Confer ence Forward Trevor Wilson said. It s one of the reasons he s an Aba lottery pick. You can frustrate him but obviously we did t do that after Elliott broke the record Urcla guard Jerome Richardson Shook his hand and spoke to him As the crowd screamed its appreciation. I said congratulations. Keep going. Do what you have to do " Richardson said. I thought it was just a great thing for someone to achieve. And it could t have happened to a nicer Guy. And that s the Bottom Elliott who had scored Only 11 Points thursday on 4-for-15 shooting came into the Urcla game sporting a new close cropped haircut. Teammate Ken Lofton said the wildcats noticed Elliott s hair Early. When Sean comes in with a haircut you know something s up Lofton said. He came ready to play so we got him the Elliott joked i had a lot of hair on my head thursday. Maybe that was my he added that he thought the haircut helped. I think i was a Little More his record came in his 123rd game while Alcin Dor s was set Over 88 games in three seasons through 1969. I Don t care if they put an asterisk by my name Elliott said. It s still the top one on the Elliott said he decided after last season to stay for his senior year in part because of the record. I knew i was 506 Points away he said. In a ceremony after the game Olson told the crowd a trophy would be engraved with Elliott s final career Point total but that no number had been put on it yet because there s a whole lot More where that came
