Michael Scott and Lamont Randolph triggered a 12-0 run midway through the second half that led Tulsa over No. 22 Oklahoma State. Tulsa (4-3) trailed. 56-53, with 10:38 remaining, before Scott scored five and Randolph four, as the Gold The Bruins caved in midway through the game, during a 30-5 Irish spurt that encompassed the last 4'a minutes of the first half and the first five minutes of the second, turning UCLA's 14-point lead into a nine-point deficit. The Bruins made only one shot In a drought that lasted almost 10 minutes, missing their last seven of the first half, which ended with a 13-0 run by the Irish, and all but one of their first seven In the second.

"I thought, quite frankly, that we lost our poise a little bit," Harrlck said. "We got frustrated at some of the calls that were made. The Irish improved to 2-3 while handing UCLA its first loss In five games. "We got beat last year," Harrick said. "We didn't get beat today.

We lost the game, but we didn't get beat. "Forty-eight foul shots? You expect kids to overcome that? You i j( r- i -i i ft SOUTH BEND, Ind. For more than 1 1 months, UCLA coach Jim Harrlck stewed over a loss last January to Notre Dame, a disheartening defeat In which the Bruins squandered a 13-polnt lead at Pauley Pavilion. So, Imagine Harrick's distaste for yesterday's 86-84 loss at Notre Dame's Joyce Athletic and Convocation Center, a surprisingly similar defeat In which the Bruins this time blew a 14-point lead against a struggling Irish team that had lost three consecutive games and played without Its best player. "I'm over it," Harrlck snapped afterward, unconvlncingly.

UCLA, even as It built its first-half advantage, seemed on the verge of collapse, its inside players picking up fouls at an alarming rate. By the time the game ended, the Bruins' Trevor Wilson had fouled out, five of his teammates had finished with four fouls and Notre Dame had attempted 48 free throws, two shy of a school record. The Irish made 32, including two by reserve swingman Jereme Jackson with 10 seconds left that provided the winning margin. Just as important, the Irish meticulously exploited the situation, taking advantage of UCLA's predicament by force-feeding the ball inside to 6-foot-9, 230-pound Keith Robinson, who was held without a point in the first half but finished with 21, making all nine of his field-goal attempts. All but two were layups.

Towson (5-2) at St. Francis, Pa. (4-1) Site: Stokes Athletic Center, Loretto, 7:30 p.m. Radio: WCVT(FM 89.7) Outlook: The Tigers' three-game winning streak was broken in a 105-75 loss to top-ranked Syracuse on Saturday.

Towson made 36.1 percent of Its field-goal attempts (26 of 72). Guard Kurk Lee, who entered the game averaging 34.7 points, had 31 against the Orangemen but hit only 11 of 28 shots. St. Francis hasn't played since a 76-74 win over Niagara on Dec. 10.

"But we also panicked a little early In the game. They had a tremendpus height advantage, and we didn't do a good Job of establishing a tempo." The game was the sixth of, 12 consecutive road games for the Tigers, with No. 7 tonight against St.

Francis, Pa. The Tigers had planned to get to Syracuse Friday afternoon, with a scheduled evening workout at the Carrier Dome. But after sitting at Baltimore-Washington International Airport from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, the team's flight was canceled, forcing a Saturday departure.

"We wanted to get to the Carrier Dome to get used to the baskets and depth perception, because some teams have complained of the difference playing there," Truax said. "This particular trip has taken Its toll." Playing Syracuse early was no big help to Towson, Truax said. "With the way we played. It won't help us, but at the same time It won't hurt," Truax said. "Had we played the best we could, with the same result.

It would have been devastating. Our team knows it can play better. It's Just a shame we didn't." Although Kurk Lee led the Tigers with 31 points, he only hit 1 1 of 28 shots mainly because of the defense of Syracuse's Billy Owens, a 6-foot-9 sophomore. Devln Boyd added 1 9 for Towson. "He did a good Job taking the ball to the basket in the second half said Truax of Boyd, who hit all nine of his free throws.

"And we were only out-rebounded by one 44-43, which against Syracuse shows, we did a good Job at being aggressive." By Jerry Bembry It's only 10 games into the season for the University of Maryland Baltimore County basketball team, but after an 81-66 loss at Jacksonville Saturday night, coach Earl Hawkins apparently sees home games this week against George Washington and Morehead State as important. "These are games we need desperately," Hawkins said. "We don't want to lose at home. For us to have a winning season, we need to get back to .500 in the next two games." The loss to Jacksonville came two days after the Retrievers knocked off Coppin State, 79-73, at UMBC Fieldhouse on Thursday. Against Coppin, the Retrievers shot 50 percent from the field.

Against the Dolphins, UMBC (4-6) shot a season-low 38.5 percent (25-for-65). "It's not that we took bad shots," Hawkins said. "The guys worked as hard as we could. We Just didn't shoot well." It didn't help UMBC that its top scorer, guard Larry Simmons (20 points a game) came down with a virus before the Jacksonville game and scored six points (3-for-10 from the field) In 27 minutes. Junior point guard Bobby Mills also was sick, and his playing time also was reduced.

Hawkins was forced to use younger players in the backcourt, with sophomore Jay Simpson and freshmen Derell Thompson (14 points) and Melvln Swann. "They didn't score," Hawkins said of Simpson and Swann. "But In the time they played, they did a lot of good things." The Retrievers trailed by 10 midway through the first half, but cut the Jacksonville lead to four. But Jacksonville guard Dee Brown (23 points) scored on jumpers from 18 def. Towson 105-75 def.

A five-minute scoreless stretch by UMBC at the start of the second half allowed Jacksonville to extend its lead. Tomorrow's game against George Washington is the first of two straight home games for the Retrievers the second and last time the team plays two in a row at its home gym this season. After Friday's home game against Morehead State, nine of UMBC's final 16 games will be on the road.

"For us, it's extremely Important to win at home," Hawkins said. "George Washington is next, and they're a tough team coming off a tough loss (72-67) at American. They'll be very pumped up and ready to play us." Towson State (5-2) got what it expected Saturday in a 105-75 loss to top-ranked Syracuse. But coach Terry Truax was disappointed with his team.

I Princtpia 81. Webster 6 Troy St. 84. Auburn-Montgomery 76 Rio Grande 94, Shawnee St. 92 By Bill Free With the first quarter of the season over and the wins, losses and individual statistics added up, the Baltimore Blast has emerged as one of the most balanced teams In the Major Indoor Soccer League.

The Blast (9-4), in first place In the Eastern Division, has seven players who have contributed eight points or more this season. Defensively, Baltimore has eight players with 11 blocks or more. Even goalkeepers Scott Manning and Scoop Stanislc have similar goals-agalnst averages. Manning has a 3.09 GAA, and Stanislc has come on strong after a slow start to post a 3.15 GAA. That distribution of wealth makes it nearly impossible to choose a top player of the first quarter-season for the Blast.

But the team will honor such a player Wednesday, and it most likely will be Manning, Tim Wittman or Carl Valentine. Those three players had leading roles, along with David Byrne, in Saturday night's 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Comets at Kemper Arena In Kansas City, Mo. It was the third straight victory for Baltimore after three consecutive overtime losses. Manning, coming off a two-game layoff because of the flu, had 11 Saturday's late box scores Jacksonville 1, UMBC 66 James Madison 83, Mount SL Mary's 72 Syracuse 105, Towson State 75 showed I was ready to get involved again." The Blast's top scorers, Wittman and Valentine, each scored one goal Saturday night. Wittman (13 goals, six assists) leads Baltimore, and Valentine (10 goals, seven assists) is second.

Byrne scored what proved to be the winning goal for the Blast with 3 minutes, 1 1 seconds remaining after he dribbled the ball more than half the length of the floor. Byrne's goal gave Baltimore a 4-2 lead, but Goossens came back with a goal to make it 4-3 with 1 :59 left. Then Byrne was called for a tripping penalty with 1:20 left, giving the Comets a power-play opportunity for the remainder of the game. However. Manning and the Blast defense held down Kansas City, which had gone to a sixth attacker, Kim Roentved, with 4:13 remaining.

The Comets (6-9) entered the game with a 5-1 home record. "We might not have won this game two weeks ago," said Blast coach Kenny Cooper. "We were struggling then and might not have been able to match Kansas City's work rate late in the game. There wasn't a weak link out there for us Saturday night." NOTES: Cooper and Byrne met for one hour Saturday afternoon before the game, and Byrne said. "1 got a few things off my chest.

I felt more comfortable after the meeting- Byrne had been feeling pressure about not scoring much this season (two goals, seven assists before Saturday night) and requested the meeting with Cooper Manning collided with K.C.'s David Doyle early in the fourth quarter, and Manning went down for a minute in pain. But he got up and continued to play. After the game. Manning said he suffered an injury to the same knee he had hurt last season, when he was out for six weeks. "It's the medial collateral ligament on the right knee," said Manning.

One of those saves came with five seconds left in the game, preventing Kansas City from sending the game into overtime. The Comets' Jan Goossens sent a hard shot at Manning from 25 feet away.

But Manning got in front of the shot, made the save and tossed the ball high in the air as the final seconds ran off the clock.
