Several Tar Heels shine in meet
BY PENN ELY
STAFF WRITER
The North Carolina track and
field teams kept pace with some
of the best competition in the
Southeast on Saturday at the Eddie
and Jo Smith Classic.
The Tar Heels ended the day
with 11 first-place finishes in
individual events. Both the wom
en’s and men's teams also earned
victories in the distance medley
relay.
The meet featured a host of
teams from around the state
including East Carolina, North
Carolina Central, and Campbell
universities.
Though the Tar Heels saw other
local talent last week, the level of
competition Saturday was much
higher.
Schools such as South Carolina
and Division II national cham
pions St. Augustine elevated the
field.
And in the Tar Heels' second
meet of the season, different indi
viduals posted some of the better
times this weekend.
“Some of our people who com
peted good in our first meet last
week didn't have as good of a meet"
UNC coach Dennis Craddock said.
“But then some people who com
peted bad last week competed bet

guard Greivis Vasquez handling the
ball extensively, Maryland repeatedly
threw the ball inside while taking
intelligent, open 3-pointers in the
flow of the offense.
Vasquez was an important part of
the equation as he controlled much
of the game at point guard and con
tributed 12 points and 11 assists while
hitting crucial free throws down the
stretch something UNC failed to
do for a second consecutive game.
Although Vasquez ended up with
six turnovers, his team only had 10
for the game —a sign of just how
much he had the ball.
But Vasquez needed someone to
catch the ball, and senior forward
James Gist provided that scoring
option all game long. A 6-foot-9
athletic specimen. Gist displayed
range on his jump shot and had his
way inside as he collected 22 points
and 13 rebounds.
Senior center Bambale Osby,
sporting a Ben Wallace-like Afro,
teamed up with Gist on the block
to contribute 12 points and five
rebounds himself, and the two
always seemed to be able to get the
ball in good post scoring position
when necessary.

ter this week."
North Carolina freshman
Latoya James proved to be a con
sistent thread with her perfor
mances. She posted a provisional
qualification time for the second
consecutive week. James took the
top spot Saturday with 8.32 sec
onds in the women’s 60-meter
hurdles after running an 8.39 a
week ago.
“That was a pretty legit division
al time for a freshman," Craddock
said. "Two weeks in a row, she’s
done it back to back."
James was the only Tar Heel
qualifier of the meet, but other
athletes also were successful. On
the men’s side, freshman Charles
Cox won the 400 meters for the
second week in a row with a time
0f48.70 seconds. Adam Smith won
the 800 meter run, posting a time
of 1:54.95.
On the women's side, Colleen
Farley earned a victory in the 800
meter run with a time of 2:14.84.
Farley edged out teammate
Dominique Jackson by .06 sec
onds. Addie Bracy won the 3,000
meter with a time of 9:58.48.
The Tar Heel field athletes
also put forth a strong perfor
mance. Mary Angell earned a
victory throwing the shot put
14.11 meters. Jocelyn White won
MD also ran its own fast break
game on occasion —most noticeably
when Gist beat the entire UNC team
down the floor late in the second half
to receive a pass for a slam dunk.
“It symbolizes how we played
defense all day today," Ginyard said
of the play. “It was terrible, really.
Awful."
Williams said after the game
that the Terps probably outran his
team and mentioned his players
giving the “tired" signal while run
ning back on defense.
“That should never happen,"
the coach said. “If you’re going to
be frickin' tired, tell me on offense.
Don't tell me as you’re running
back and the other team’s laying it
up on the other end."
While MD coach Gary Williams
admitted that his team went “jump
shot crazy" during the second half,
the Terps didn't settle for long range
heaves at the end of the game.
Maryland’s last 12 points came
via eight free throws and two bas
kets in the lane, including Osby’s
game-winning layup after sealing off
UNC’s Danny Green -a fitting end
to Maryland's offensive afternoon.
“Our game plan was to go out
and go inside, try to get Bambale to
take it inside," Gary Williams said.
“We executed pretty well early.
cent in the second half. The arena
exploded into cheers as Connecticut
took a 48-47 lead five minutes after
halftime.
And on the other end of the
court, it was clear UConn had a
strategy.
The Tar Heels’ go-to post player,
Erlana Larkins, was held to seven
points and was faced with an
onslaught of white jerseys every
time she touched the ball.
“They did a great job of coming
to double team, and w'e did a great
job of standing," Larkins said. “I
remember there were several times
when I got the ball, and I couldn’t
find anyone open ... I had to turn
and throw the ball hoping someone
would get it."
Senior LaToya Pringle con
tributed 20 points to lead the Tar
Heels before fouling out, but UNC
couldn't find its rhythm down low
in the second half.
For a team that normally thrives
off of feeding the ball inside. North
Carolina spent much of the game
playing around the perimeter.
“We took way too many outside
shots,’ Hatchefl said. “We should
have been driving and more on
those. We didn’t get the ball into
Erlana as much as we wanted to."
Connecticut’s Tina Charles
pulled down 19 rebounds of her
own, adding seven blocks to create
problems in the paint for North
Carolina. And after going scoreless
during the first half, UConn senior
Charde Houston proved a large
part of the difference, recording
all 15 of her points during the final
20 minutes.

The Tar Heels battled to keep
the game even for the last stretch,
coming as close as three points off
of a jumper by Pringle with nearly
three and a half minutes remain
ing.
But they wouldn't score again.
Connecticut went on an 8-0 run
to close out the game as UNC was
forced to foul in the final minutes
to keep any chances of a comeback
alive. After fouling out in the last
minute, Pringle could only watch
as her team suffered its second loss
this season to a top-ranked oppo

“I think a lot of our team put
our heads down when they even

“We need to learn that basketball

opponent makes a run you have to

he said. “I don’t know what goes
into the psyche of 19. 20,21-year
old guys. If I did, I’d never lose."
Following their close win
Wednesday at Georgia Tech, the
Tar Heels came out of the gate
sluggish.
In the first half, UNC s offense
looked stagnant, often settling for
jump shots by big men. Guards
seemed to stand around and
force up shots, as evidenced by
the team’s shooting just 35.1
percent for the half.
In the second half, the Tar
Heels were much more aggressive
driving to the basket, and though
the team didn't shoot much bet
ter, they battled all the way back
and took a two-point lead with
8:01 left in the game UNC’s
first since midway through the
first half.
North Carolina had several
chances to win at the end of the
game. After Maryland’s Bambale
Osby put the Terrapins up 82-80
with 21 seconds remaining, Tar
Heel forward Tyler Hansbrough
was streaking toward the basket,
but point guard TV Lawson didn’t
let the alley-oop fly.
‘I shouldn't call that play if he
doesn’t feel comfortable throwing
it, because TVler was wide open
six-inches from the rim that
would’ve tied the game," Williams
said. “But TV wasn't comfortable

Greivis Vasquez screamed at the

Forward James Gist led the
Terrapins' effort for much of the
game, taking over at times and
ending with 22 points and 13
rebounds.
“We didn't front the post the
way we wanted to," said North
Carolina forward Danny Green,
who finished with nine points and
eight rebounds. “They were get

they were getting a lot of one-on
