Friday night's action in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tourna
ment offered two kinds of action fast and furious and cool and
cautious.
All-America Larry Miller led the Tar Heels to a 82-79 overtime
victory over Frank McGuire's fighting Gamecocks, and Eddie
Biedenbach popped in two field goals to lead N.C. State's scoring
in a 12-10 win over Duke, which set at seven ACC records all for
the least of something.
The UNC-USC contest was almost of replay of the two games
that the Heels lost at the end of the regular season's play. South
Carolina won on Wednesday in regulation play by 187-86, and Vic
Bubas, Mike Lewis and Company with their new discovery Mike
Lind tarred the Carolina quintet by the same score in three
overtimes over in Durham.
' Larry Miller turned a typical game, at least in the first half.
He led the Heels to a 51.1 percentage at the end of the first twen
ty minutes with 19 points. The Pennsylvanian only hit for five
points in the second half and the overtime, but guards Dick
Grubaf, from Schenectady, N.Y., and Gerald Tuttle, from London
of the Bluegrass country, turned their best games of the year.
Grubar hit for 20 points, playing the second half with four
fouls beside his name on the scoring books, and Tuttle sank two
overtime free throws that clinched the semi-final game for the
Heels. And then there is Rusty Clark. The carrot-topped junior
from Fayetteville playing the first game of his varsity career
without committing a personal foul while pulling in 16 rebounds
and scoring 11 points and playing longer than he ever had
before.
Then there was the State-Duke game. It too went down to the
wire with the competitors neck and neck, but the score was not
pushing the eighty mark; it was struggling to get into double
figures.
State Norman Sloan took a lesson from Carolina coach Dean
Smith and threw a deep, deep freeze against the Blue Devils In
the 1966 tourney, the Dukes won a similar game from Carolina bv
the score of 20-21, but this time the strategy worked.
State entered the final round of the tourney against Carolina
and people throughout the state were wondering if Sloan was
planning to put the ball on ice against the Heels.
The game was boring, even if it was close. The television
network just had to get in commercials, and they did Sut
