Late Surge Pushes Wake Past UNC

WINSTON-SALEM - After a dismal
first-half performance against North
Carolina, Wake Forest guard Robert
O’Kelley needed a moment alone in the
locker room to think.
“I really was worried about him at
halftime,” Wake coach Dave Odom
said. “I went in and found him, and he
was staring at the wall.”
While
O’Kelley was

Struggling Tar Heels Need Teasley Back in Lineup
The conference season for the
North Carolina women’s basket
ball team is just four games old.
That’s the good news for the Tar
Heels, who have dropped their last
three ACC games. The bad news is that
they already face a desperate situation.
No. 15 UNC enters its game at
Georgia Tech tonight looking to snap
its first three-game losing streak in four
years. And when the game tips off at 7
p.m., UNC point guard Nikki Teasley
won’t be there to help her teammates.
Teasley, who was suspended from
the team’s game at Virginia - an 87-68
loss on Jan. 6 - has taken a leave of
absence from the squad for unex
plained personal reasons.
The results of Teasley’s exodus have
been disastrous for the team. In addi
tion to the blowout loss to the Cavaliers,
the Tar Heels suffered a 60-59 defeat at
home Monday to unranked Clemson.
UNC’s offense, usually potent in
transition with Teasley running the
show, was stagnant. Time after time,
the Tar Heels settled for long jump
shots instead of attacking the basket.
When the shots didn't fall - UNC
missed 43 out of 60 for the game and
converted just 5 of 22 3-point attempts
- there was no one to create offense.
Freshman Coretta Brown gave an
admirable effort at the point, but at this
point in her career, she has neither

Deacons came from behind for a 66-57
win in front of 14,377 at Lawrence Joel
Coliseum.
O’Kelley and his mates began to find
the bottom of the net with regularity, but
the Tar Heels (11 -5, 2-1 in the ACC)
couldn’t get their offense together against
the Deacs and failed to keep pace.
“If we’d kept scoring there, we’d be in
good shape,” UNC coach Bill Guthridge
said. “Our offensive efficiency was
horrible.”
As the far Heel attack slowly sput
tered out, the Deacs (11-4,2-1) continued
to pour in buckets, scoring on 20 of their
final 23 possessions. Wake Forest went
ahead for good on a Josh Howard
3-pointer with 9:20 remaining in the sec
ond half and kept the Tar Heels at bay
with runs of 13-4 and 15-4 in the half.

Teasley’s skills nor her command of
the UNC attack.
Juana Brown, who has depended on
Teasley to set her up for open jumpers
throughout her career, is less effective
when she has to create her own oppor
tunities. She forced several shots against
the Tigers and wound up 1-for-! 1.
Not counting the 22 points from for
ward LaQuanda Barksdale, who has
become the team’s best player with or
without Teasley, the far Heels went
just 9-for-45 from the field.
Because of how poorly the team
played against Clemson, UNC’s game
against the Yellow Jackets takes on
extra importance. Coach Sylvia
Hatchell has said that the far Heels
need a victory to prove to themselves
that they can win without Teasley.
She’s right in that if they get a win
against Georgia Tech, they can gain a
little bit of confidence. But another

It was a stark
contrast to the
Demon Deacons’
first 20 minutes of
play, in which
O’Kelley went
0-for-8, including
0-for-4 from
3-point range. His
first field goal did
n’t come until he
hit a layup while
drawing a foul at
ihe 10:22 mark of
the second half.
“I was pissed,”
O’Kelley said. “I

was mad at myself. I wanted to take it

loss, combined with the fact that no
one has any idea when or if Teasley
will return, could bury them.
Regardless of the outcome, however
UNC is in trouble as long as Teasley
stays on the sidelines. I he team can’t
consistently beat full-court pressure
without her and has no one-on-one
threat to rely on at the end of games
when the shot clock is running down.
Whether Teasley returns, from all
indications by Hatchell, is up to

could do it, and I did.”
While the Deacs bounced back from
their 30 percent shooting effort in the
first half, the Tar Heels took a turn for
the worse. UNC’s poor second-half
showing resulted in 38.2-percent shoot
ing for the game, their lowest mark since
shooting 37.7 percent last season against
Duke at the Smith Center.
“We kind of lost our concentration
out there,” said far Heel point guard Ed
Cota, who finished the game with seven
points and five assists. “Wake Forest’s a
tough team, but we’ve got to be able to
retaliate and get aggressive.”
Neither team put up fantastic offensive
numbers in the first half, thanks to the
combination of uninspired offense and
solid defensive efforts from both squads.
“The first half was a battle of futility,”
Teasley. It’s easy to say that she should
come back to help her teammates, but
that’s unfair when the seriousness of
what’s ailing her remains a secret.
One thing is no mystery, however:

Odom said. “No one could hold the ball,
and there were bodies flying out there.”
With UNC leading 28-21 at the half, it
seemed to be a question of if, rather than
when, one team’s offense would start
putting the ball in the basket. While
O’Kelley and company answered that
question with authority, UNC’s main men
failed to put points up when called upon.
Freshman Joseph Forte, the team’s
leading scorer, finished up 1 of 10 from the
field with eight points. That was the same
total center Brendan Haywood notched.
“I don’t think they made it tough,”
Forte said. “I was getting the same shots
I was getting in the other games. I just
wasn’t knocking them down.”
