COL BKB: Morehead State 62, Louisville 61

DENVER (UPI) -- Delmont Harper drilled a 3-point shot with seven seconds left Thursday, boosting Morehead State to a 62-61 NCAA tournament upset of No. 4-seeded Louisville.

The 13th-seeded Eagles led much of the afternoon but a late Louisville spurt gave the Cardinals a 61-57 edge with 1:20 to go.

Harper missed a 3-point try on the other end but the Eagles' Sam Goodman rebounded and Louisville fouled. Morehead's Kenneth Faried made two free throws that made it a 1-point game. Harper was called foul but Louisville missed the free throw with 31 seconds to go.

After a time out, Morehead worked the ball with Harper, who had missed his first five 3-point shots, finally pulling up beyond the top of the circle and hitting a 3-pointer.

Louisville had a final try but Faried blocked the shot.

Morehead State (25-9) draws No. 12 Richmond in Saturday's third-round action in the Southwest Region. Richmond advanced with a 69-66 upset of No. 5 Vanderbilt. Louisville was sent home with a 25-10 record.

Terrance Hill had 23 points in leading the Eagles' attack. Harper ended with eight.

Chris Smith topped Louisville with 17 points.

Insurance money arrives for Metrodome roof

MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) -- The Minneapolis Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission said insurance money has arrived to allow them to begin repairs of the blizzard-damaged Metrodome.

Commission Chairman Ted Mondale said Thursday the group received its first $10 million check of an expected total $22.7 million from insurer Affiliated FM to repair damage done to the Metrodome's roof by the blizzard Dec. 12, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Thursday.

Mondale said repairs are scheduled to begin next week and should be completed prior to the start of the Minnesota Vikings' preseason in August.

"We're going to have football here this fall," he said.

Dodd, Lara share European Tour lead

RAGUSA, Italy (UPI) -- Stephen Dodd and Jose Manuel Lara each shot 6-under-par 65 Friday and shared the lead after the first round of the European Tour's Sicilian Open in Italy.

Dodd had an eagle, six birdies and two bogeys at the Donnafugata Golf Resort and Spa while Lara overcame a double bogey and a bogey with nine birdies for his 65.

Raphael Jacquelin had a bogey-free round and Anthony Wall collected six birdies against one bogey in ending the day tied for third at 5-under 66. Four players are tied for fifth at 4-under.

Dodd had the early lead after posting birdies at Nos. 2 and 3. He added a birdie at the seventh hole but bogeyed the ninth. He had another bogey at No. 11 but birdied Nos. 10, 12 and 13. He got to 6-under with an eagle at the par-5, 565-yard 16th hole.

Lara also had a birdie at No. 3 but suffered a double-bogey 6 at the 422-yard fourth hole. He answered with a birdie at the fifth hole and had another birdie at 7. He dropped back to even with a bogey at the eighth hole but had birdies on four of the next five holes.

Lara pulled even with Dodd with birdies at 16 and 17.

Mavericks claims surfer Sion Milosky

PRINCETON, Calif. (UPI) -- A witness described monstrous surf breaking at California's Mavericks at the time professional surfer Sion Milosky was killed late Wednesday.

Milosky, 35, Kalaheo, Hawaii, was pounded by two huge waves at the legendary surf break and his body was recovered a short time later.

"Huge, 50-foot, absolutely massive waves were coming through constantly," surfer Shawn Dollar told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. "It was hard to keep track of people."

The Sentinel said Thursday Milosky fell when the large wave he was riding collapsed. Another large wave then broke on top of him, apparently holding him under water and drowning him.

Some surfers said afterward the growing popularity of Mavericks called for the stationing of lifeguards at the scene, the Sentinel said. Mavericks was the site of Hawaiian surfer Mark Foo's death in 1994 and several close calls since then.

Milosky was considered one of the leading big-wave surfers in Hawaii and was in California for The Jay at Mavericks surf competition.
