Virginia Unioh's Tim Davis with an easy dunk .
Maybe. But do you remember
McKie's last free throw miss? It set up the
play of the game.
Walker lined up a three that looked on
target and would' ve made the score 59-58
Union, but the 23-footer only went 22 feet.
But Daye, Mr. High Risers, jumped over
all of the beef-eaters in red and tipped the
ball' fiSck in the basket. Two points.
Union's players looked around, bewil
dered.
How could we be in this situation?
They needn't have worried. Daye was
called for an over -the-back foul on the
play.
"I didn't think I was on the back. It
was a bad call," Daye said. "I didn't touch
anybody."
So Unipn held on after that, but the
teams would likely meet again at the
NCAA Division 11 South Atlantic Region
al, held March 11-12 in Fayetteville, N.C.
Central coach Greg Jackson talked about a
possible rematch.
"I hope we get another chance to play
them down the road," Jackson said. "I
mean we took the national champions to
the wire, didn't we?"
v
Well, yes, coach, you did. And when
it was over, Peebles, Union's best little
man, offered his thoughts on how he'd
coach against his team of big men. Maybe
Jackson shouki take a pointer or two.
"I'd probably play zone and make the
guards hit from the outside," Peebles said.
Sound advice. But, the question is,
could the Panthers guards consistently hit
from the outside? If they couldn't, this
strategy might be the best one to use.
So can you, Warren? Can you guards
hit from the outside if forced to?
Warren looks up from his cup of soda
and erupts in a big smile.
"Yes."
