European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 21, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 24 a a the stars and stripes wednesday March 21,1990loyola setting emotion in motion by Jim Litke a sports writer Long Beach Calif. A despite All the weight poised there his shoulders never drooped. Never stooped sunk sagged or shuddered though once late in the game when he Felt Hank gathers tugging at some Distant Corner of his soul to Kimble shrugged. Just like that. He was standing at the free throw line with 21 seconds remaining sunday the game Safe and the memory of gathers secure for a few More Days. And yet As Kimble spun the Ball Between his fingers feeling for the scams he thought about shooting left handed again. Just like Hank did. A a lot of people think that we re playing on emotion and that its going to Wear off a Kimble said after Loyola Mary mount a Lions destroyed defending National Champion Michigan 149-115 in a West regional tournament game. A but that a Only part of the picture. A Long before we Ever got Here we Felt like we were one of the Best teams in the Mcaa. Hank and 1 talked about that a lot and a lot of what we re accomplishing now is for him. But even if the intensity looks new a he added a the Confidence to Kimble was gathers teammate at Loyola for three years and his running mate for much longer than that going Back almost a decade to the Days when the two hooked up in a Tough North Philadelphia schoolyard. And when gathers collapsed and died on a basketball door on March 4, Kimble vowed to carry a part of him into every game he played from then on. Kimble had a lot of positive things to choose from. As a Junior gathers became Only the second player in Mcaa history to Lead the nation in both scoring and rebounding. Curiously Kimble chose the weakest part. Gathers a miserable free throw shooter right handed tried to cure the affliction by shooting lefty a with predictably miserable results. Kimble though was 2 for 2 through sunday taking his first free throw of every game with the left unleashing a torrent of emotion that overwhelmed new Mexico state in the tournament opener Friday night then repeating the feat sunday to Cap a three Point play late in the first half that staggered the already reeling wolverines. And now late in that same game with the Lions already ahead 144-114, he was mulling whether to launch a third attempt from out of the South. So Kimble looked Back Over his shoulder to the Lions Bench and sought out coach Paul wellhead for guidance. Like a Pitcher and Catcher working Over signs Back and Forth they went. Westhead Ever the Diplomat suggested using both hands. Kimble nixed that. He suggested left again looked Back a second time and saw Westhead clearly Mouth the word then feeling a weight suddenly lifted to Kimble shrugged. He squared his shoulders to the Basket smiled spun the Ball Between his fingers once More and coolly dropped the free throw a right handed. Before that simple Exchange the temptation might have been to dismiss Loyola Mary mount As a Comet in this years tournament a team kept aloft by a High octane mix of anger and grief and nervous Energy in the Wake of gathers sudden death. The Lions the perception went were too undisciplined to avoid crash Landing. They ran too much took too Many shots gave up too Many easy baskets and now compounding things they were on too much of an emotional High. But to knows a or at least to Learned sunday a the meaning of restraint. The nations leading scorer got his Points 37but he also got his role right in a system that creates enough opportunities for everyone around him. And he got the Ball to someone else when Michigan fixed its sights on him. The wolverines would have done As Well to target Jeff Fryer who lit up 11 of his 15 tries from three Point land and contributed mightily to most of the records set a most notably most Points by one team most three Point goals attempted and made. A it has been a very emotional two weeks for us a Fryer said. A we were tired of taking it out on each other in practice. A whoever is next a he added a be the show of Confidence amused but did not disturb Westhead. Since gathers death Loyola Mary mount a rugged practices have been limited to shoot arounds. No conditioning no running up Hills no sprints no grind. A part of it was allowing them to let their natural Energy and emotions unravel. What you saw today was our fast break system As we see it every Day in practice. In that sense what you saw today was not a Surprise. A but 1 will say this a he added a the intensity level is definitely higher. In chasing after the Ball in rebounding on the press in those areas we were up on another that level now holds just 16 teams none of them As superbly conditioned and none of them Likely Able to resist the lure of playing helter shelter basketball with a team that looks and since gathers death sometimes sounds a As though it is perilously near the Edge. But the Lions have lived with chaos and have come to know it in a Way that May yet enable them to realize the dream. A you get caught up in a situation where you have to do what they do and you can to do it As Well a Michigan coach Steve Fisher said still smarting from having lost the first Mcaa tournament game in his Brief tenure. A they Are very much focused on moving Forward in to Kimble and Jeff Fryer enjoying the moment. This tournament in a Way few people Are Able to told of Fishers remarks Kimble could Only smile.
