NEW ORLEANS — Tulane University will travel to
California to battle host Cal State-Fullerton in an NCAA Baseball Super
Regional beginning on Saturday.
The Green Wave and the Titans will open play
Saturday at 9:00 PM. Game two will be Sunday at 8:00 PM and game three, if
necessary, will be Monday at 6:00 PM. All games will be televised on ESPN2.
Tulane swept through the Oxford Regional last
weekend, upending Washington, Western Kentucky and Washington again to earn
its second trip to a Super Regional.
In that 2001 appearance in the NCAA postseason's
field of 16, the Wave hosted LSU at Zephyr Field, defeating the Tigers and
advancing to the College World Series.
Star football recruit dies in
Arizona workout
TUCSON — Arizona football recruit McCollins Umeh
died Tuesday afternoon after collapsing during a voluntary workout, athletic
director Jim Livengood said.
The 18-year-old defensive end was taken to the
nearby University Medical Center, where efforts to revive him failed. The
hospital said the time of death was 2:24 p.m.
"All our thoughts and prayers are with McCollins'
parents," Livengood said. "There is no easy way to describe how devastating
this tragedy is to the family and to the university community."
Umeh, 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, arrived in Tucson
this week with other freshmen and transfers to participate in the
conditioning drills.
He was one of three recruits who attended Forest
High School in Klein, Texas, and played for coach Gene Johnson, whom new
coach Mike Stoops hired during the recruiting period as an offensive
graduate assistant. The other Klein Forest players are safety Dominic
Patrick and wide receiver Bobby McCoy.
Umeh was a SuperPrep All-American and was rated the
No. 25 prospect in Texas. He retracted an oral commitment to Kansas State
and signed with Arizona on Feb. 4.
