Al Horford had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Taurean Green had 16, and Greg Oden’s 25 points and 12 rebounds weren’t enough to stop the Gators (35-5) from com- pleting the quest they set upon when all the starters delayed their NBA plans for a try at another title. They celebrated with the usual Gator chomps and took a chomp out of NCAA history, too — becoming the first team to repeat since Duke in 1991-92 and adding their name to the debate about the best teams of all time. Best athletics programs of all time, too. This win completes a 2007 championship-game sweep of the Buckeyes (35-4) in college’s two biggest sports — men’s hoops and football. Florida, a 41-14 win- ner in the football title game in January, remains the only pro- gram in history to hold both championships at the same time. The celebration looked much the same as last year.

BY RYAN YOUNG THE DAILY IOWAN He may stand 5-2, but ring specialist Jacques Bouchard is known among his teammates as a force to be reckoned with, and his gymnastics résumé proves them right. Recently, the fifth-year senior has been a marquee name asso- ciated with the Iowa men’s gym- nastics team, winning awards and honors that rightfully place him among the top-10 still-ring competitors in the nation. This season, Bouchard has broken the individual school record three times after setting it a year ago — it now stands at 9.725, which he posted last weekend at the Big Ten champi- onships in Minneapolis. Addi- tionally, he’s been named as a perennial All-American scholar- athlete and has been nominated for the Nissen-Emery Award, awarded to the most outstanding senior gymnast in the country.

NATION NYC mayor says he’ll veto ban on metal bats at high schools NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday he’ll veto a bill passed last month to outlaw metal bats from high-school baseball in the nation’s largest school system, which some believe would make the game safer. “I don’t know whether aluminum bats are more dangerous or less dangerous,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s the city’s business to regu- late that.” It appeared, however, that the City Council would have enough votes to override a veto. The bill passed last month by 40-6, so it likely has the support for the neces- sary two-thirds majority, and the council is expected to take it up this month. Similar measures have been pro- posed by youth leagues and law- makers in other states, including New Jersey, where a batted ball struck a 12-year-old boy in the chest, sending him into cardiac arrest. Sponsors of New York City’s bill say that non-wood bats make faster and harder hits, and that this can be dangerous for young players in the path of the balls. Some say they can be injured because they have less time to react. 4B - The Daily Iowan - Iowa City, Iowa - Tuesday, April 3, 2007 ROOMMATE APARTMENT APARTMENT APARTMENT WANTED FOR RENT FOR RENT FOR RENT RENT this room!
