4The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, February 4, 1935 UMC m e fface Ilacfcefe ' 1 :r:'-::.'":' o oo n o n (( O By JAMES SUROVVIECKI Staff Writer x The Omni. On the surface it is a glittering dome, a testimony to the. power sports have in our society. But when UNC's basketball team enters the Omni, it changes from a beautiful arena to a snakepit where memories of past humiliations by Georgia Tech writhe in agony. For the Tar Heels, returning to Atlanta tonight (7 p.m. WRAL-TV Ch. 5) for a return match with the Yellow Jackets is like Indiana Jones venturing into the Egyptian temple where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden. The rewards are great, but so are the risks. Of course, the UNC players discount any notion of the Omni holding special terror for them. Indeed, despite the problems North Carolina has had on the road this year, the Tar Heels act as if they're actually as comfortable traveling as they are at home. "I think we've established ourselves on the road," center Warren Martin said. "By the end of the year I think youH see this is a very good road team, and that we're just getting weathered right now." As for Kenny Smith, the slick point guard dismisses the idea that UNC has struggled in road games in general and in the Omni in particular. I don't look at it that way," he said. "Everybody plays better at home. We just haven't had too much luck against Georgia Tech. WeVe just got to keep our poise and not let anything worry us." The squeakers over Jacksonville, Maryland and Marquette seem to have vanished from the players' minds, as have last year's two losses to Tech in the Omni. The fact remains, though, that UNC has struggled on the road this year, and that in the past the Omni has not been one of its favorite places to play. Laying that aside for the moment, the game itself should be no picnic. Georgia Tech, picked as the preseason No. 1 team by manv publications, has begun to round ACC tourney tickets sign-up today in Student Union lobby Students interested in seeing the ACC tournament can sign up for tickets in the Student Union lobby today and tomorrow from 11 a.m. 1 p.m. Sign-up will continue for law, dental and medical students on Thursday in the Law School Library and on the 2nd floor of the Dental School from 1 1 a.m. 2 p.m. The tourney will be held March 7-9 in Greensboro.

Although the Yellow Jackets dropped -an 85-77 decision to UNC two weeks ago, they are still extremely dangerous. Tech is led, of course, by senior guard Mark Price, a deadly cobra of a shooter who is at' once a point guard and his team's leading scorer at 18.2 points a game. When Price gets hot, everything drops. His counterpart in the backcourt, Bruce Dalrymple, is a ferocious rebounder and gets many of his 12.4 points a game off inside garbage. "Bruce has got a nose for the ball," Kenny Smith said. "We always said on the playground he's playing like he's going for a Michelob Lite." TheTiggest disappointment for the Yellow Jackets this year has been senior center John Salley, who has slumped badly after a fine junior year. Salley is playing out-of-position and averaging only 12.3 points and 6.8 rebounds a game. Helping to pick up the frontcourt slack is rookie Tom Hammonds, who has been singularly impressive and is second on the team in scoring and rebounding, and sophomore Duane Ferrell. Guard Craig Neal provides shooting and speed off the bench. Georgia Tech's biggest problem, though, is its lack of depth, something UNC doesn't have to worry about. Tech goes six or seven deep, and no further. So one of the keys tonight will be if the Yellow Jacket starters, particularly Hammonds and Salley, can stay out of foul trouble. Also key to the game will be how Price handles the UNC trap ' defense. In Chapel Hill he had a miserable seven turnovers. He must take better care of the basketball tonight. As for UNC, all the Tar Heels must do is play hard defense while trapping well, hit the open shot and stay controlled offensively. against Wake Forest. There will be ' 100 names drawn and those people will have the opportunity to pur chase tickets for the seven-game package at $90 each. There will also be 100 alternate names drawn and those people will be able to buy tickets according to availability.

"Undefeated," in sports terminology, is the closest one can come to perfection. The time when a college basketball team from Westwood, Ca., could run off 88 games in a row without a loss seems to be a relic of the days before parity struck. Even the Chicago Bears lost one. When the North Carolina Tar Heels lost their first basketball game in 22 tries Thursday night, the players realized the inevitability of that Cav-tastrophe and chose to build on it rather than to dwell on it. In the locker room after the Virginia game, UNC's Brad Daugherty was asked whether the loss helped to alleviate some of the pressure of a potential unbeaten season. "A little bit," Daugherty said. "We try not to place pressure on ourselves, but the more we win the more people start asking you about it." The Tar Heels are the latest in a long line of unbeaten teams who appear to have been victimized by media overex scoreboard Men's Swimming from Sunday's meet UNC 80, Virginia 33 Individual Winners 400 medley relay UNC (Stevenson, Sawyer.

In fact, it has been a decade since Indiana completed the last unblemished college basketball season. Bobby Knight's Hoosiers, led by Kent Benson, Scott May and Quinn Buckner, won 32 games without a loss to take the 1976 NCAA championship. But is there a silver lining to UNC's nebulous loss? "It was a good lesson for us," Steve Hale said after UNC's 85-67 victory over Clemson on Saturday. "It alerted us to the fact that when you're playing on the road it's going to be tough. If you're not at the top of you're game, you're going to get beat." Cavalier center Olden Polynice, one of the professors at "the lesson" in Charlottesville Thursday, explained the theme of his lecture. "No team is invincible," Polynice explained in a raucous post-game Virginia locker room. "UNC's got a great team, but they're not unbeatable." Daugherty and his teammates seem to be digesting their humble pie in a practical fashion. "No one likes to lose," Daugherty said, "but I think (the loss) will help us in the long run."
