Woods' rocky career reaches ultimate game.(The Dallas Morning News)
MINNEAPOLIS _ Arizona center Loren Woods received a call the other day from an old high school friend who excitedly told him had made the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Then came the bad news.
The friend told him the article inside talked about how "soft" Woods was and quoted an NBA scout saying Woods was one of the weakest players in the nation. His friend called it a disgrace, but by now Woods knows that his celebrity is a double-edged sword.
"I was upset a little, but it really doesn't matter what people say," said Woods. "Nobody can take this Final Four away from me."
Monday's NCAA final against Duke is the culmination of a long, tumultuous career for the athletically gifted Woods, a 7-1 shot blocker and sometime scorer. A month before the regular season ended, Woods grumbled that he had regrets about returning for his senior season.
It's a season that started with Woods serving a six-game NCAA suspension for receiving money from his high school coach. Arizona suffered chemistry problems early and lost its coach, Lute Olson, for three weeks while he cared for his dying wife.
Woods' game suffered and all the expectations he's carried since he was a McDonald's All-American weighed on him.
