NCAA to reinstate Texas Tech forward

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech forward Pawel Storozynski's eligibility to play will be reinstated in two weeks.

The NCAA Reinstatement Committee has ruled the Lodz, Poland, native will be eligible to play when the Red Raiders visit the Houston Cougars Dec. 14. That is the next game scheduled after Tech hosted Texas Christian on Saturday.

The 6-foot-8, 22-year-old transfer from Dodge City Community College in Kansas had been ruled ineligible shortly before the season for playing with professionals in Europe. Storozynski, who grew up in France, also received educational expenses while in high school in France.

He had faced a potential 11-game NCAA suspension for the violations.

Myers has said Storozynski never received money for the one game he played with a French professional team while in high school.

Storozynski is one of about 340 foreign-born college players who have been investigated by the NCAA at 60 Division I schools.

Mets sign Japanese RHP Komiyama

NEW YORK -- Pitcher Satoru Komiyama, a seven-time All-Star in Japan, signed a one-year contract Saturday with the New York Mets, reuniting with manager Bobby Valentine.

The 36-year-old right-hander has an option for 2003. He will receive a $300,000 signing bonus and a salary of $200,000 for 2002.

General manager Steve Phillips said he thinks Komiyama can start or work out of the bullpen.

Komiyama had a 12-9 record and 3.03 ERA with Yokohama last year, third in the league in victories. In 148 2-3 innings, he walked 30 and struck out 74.

His best season came in 1995 with Lotte, whose manager was Valentine. Komiyama went 11-4 with a 2.60 ERA.

Michigan St., Virginia won't finish game

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The game between Michigan State and Virginia that was called off in the second half because of a wet floor will not be completed or replayed.

The No. 9 Cavaliers and No. 22 Spartans were playing Wednesday night in the Richmond Coliseum on a court placed over an ice rink used for minor league hockey.

Condensation on the court made players slip and slide throughout the first half, and the game was called by the officials with 15:04 to play after Virginia's Travis Watson fell hard to the court, hitting his face, trying to defend an inbounds play.

Referees decided to end the game, part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, for the safety of the players. During each break in play, stadium workers dried the court with mops and towels.

Tickets purchased through the University of Virginia will automatically be refunded.
