8The Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 25, 1988 Sports unday's classic example of ACC 'basketbrawP By DAVE GLENN Staff Writer RALEIGH The Wolfpack came out scratching and clawing in front of a rowdy N.C. State crowd in Reynolds Coliseum Sunday, but it was the North Carolina Tar Heels scrappy defense and physical play that stopped the Pack attack in the end. Outstanding pressure defense by Steve Bucknall, Kevin Madden and Scott Williams hounded the Wolf pack into a 16-for-37 shooting per formance in the second half as the Tar Heels muscled their way to a 77 73 victory. The first half featured an aggressive Tar Heel defense that upset the rhythm of State sharpshooters Vinny Del Negro and Rodney Monroe. The two combined for 3-of-9 shooting and only one three-pointer in the opening 20 minutes of play. MI thought we played a good game in the first half with our scrambling and our trapping," Tar Heel coach Dean Smith said. "Steve Bucknall did a tremendous job on Vinny Del Negro, and Del Negro is a great player." Bucknall, a junior from London, England, typified the gritty Tar Heel effort throughout the game. The 6-foot-6 forward went after loose balls with a vengeance, somehow gaining Track's Farmer qualifies By PATRICK O'NEILL Special to the DTH UNC distance runner Jim Farmer reached both of his goals Saturday night by winning the 3000-meter run at the Eastman Kodak Track and Field Invitational and bettering the qualifying standard for March's NCAA indoor track championships. Farmer, who ran a personal best of 7:57.63, was helped out by UNC assistant coach George Nicholas, who decided to serve as a "rabbit" in the race, which was held in Johnson City, Tenn., on the campus of East Ten nessee State University.

The physical nature of the game can lead to some interesting devel opments. Bucknall's reasoning tells the tale. "If the ball goes to the floor, it's our job to do whatever we can to come out with it," Bucknall said. "Sometimes little things like that can win you games." The little things became big things late in the first half when Tar Heel guard Ranzino Smith was elbowed in the head by N.C. State forward Avie (Mo) Lester. Blood streamed down Smith's face as the referees allowed play to continue while Smith ran to the UNC bench. The senior Chapel Hill native returned in the second half after receiving 12 stitches to close the cut over his left eye, sporting a thick, white bandage wrapped around his head. Ignoring the hostile crowd, the rejuvenated Smith hit a clutch 10-foot jumper in tne lane witn unaer iu minutes remaining after the Wolf pack had trimmed the Tar Heel lead to three. Two minutes later, he burned Del Negro and knifed through the lane for another soft jumper after State had climbed to within 58-57. Afterwards, Smith said he didn't A "rabbit" is a term for a runner who purposely sets a fast early pace to aid other runners in achieving fast times. Nicholas dropped out of the race after pacing Farmer to a strong early lead. "I'm very pleased with my perfor- mance," Farmer said, "especially that I can run this fast so early in the season. Farmer's teammate, Mike McGo wan, was fifth in the 3,000 in 8:15.03. Several other UNC runners turned in strong performances in UNC's first meet of the indoor campaign. UNC sophomore Johann Boakes ran a 4:07.49 to finish second in the collegiate mile.

"I really don't know what he was trying to do," said UNC forward Kevin Madden, who had 16 points on the day. "I just know that we try to be physical and aggressive, but clean." The only man who knows for sure if it was intentional is Lester, who had a turnover, a rebound and a slice of Smith's head to show for his 10 minutes of play. Lester, who is shooting just 27 percent from the field and is aver aging an amazing one foul for every four minutes of play, said that the officials were ready for a physical game. "The officials knew it was a big game," Lester said. "There was a lot of emotion on the court, and they didn't want to let the game get out of control." The game never did get out of control, although Madden sent Del Negro into the fifth row with an elbow late in the second half. Madden, a 6-foot-5 junior from Staunton, Va., followed his airmail package with two big buckets in the last five minutes of the game, includ ing a rim-rattling slam off of a beautiful backdoor feed from Scott Williams with three minutes left to for NCAAs mile relays. In the one-mile relay, the team of Kendra Mackey, Shelby Moorman, Sonya Thomas and Mia Pollard ran 3:41.21 for second place. Pollard, who anchored both record- setting races, led the two-mile relay team of Kari Krehnbrink, Monica Witterholt and Michelle Faherty to another second-place finish in a time of 8:53.01. The time would have set a new meet record, but a strong Villanova team breezed in with a time of 8:49.49 to take first place and establish the record. Faherty, a freshman, also ran a 4:52.07 to finish fourth in the wom en's mile and establish the third fastest time in Tar Heel history. Avoid the lottery blues. Apply now!

Williams, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Hacienda Heights, Calif., played tough at both ends of the floor and came through when the Tar Heels needed him most crunch time. Williams was a force under the boards throughout the game. He finished with 10 points, three steals and a block, but he pulled out his biggest plays at the end. With the Tar Heels leading by four with 2:12 to play, Williams powered to the hoop and, with State's Brian Howard hanging on his shoulder, converted the layup. His ensuing free throw gave UNC some breathing room at 75-68. Later, Williams stuffed a Chucky Brown attempt that could have brought the Wolfpack within two. Williams, who picked up his fourth foul just three minutes into the second half, said he tried to maintain a high level of intensity from start to finish. "In the last couple minutes of the game, if I don't challenge them it's just an easy bucket," Williams said. "I'd rather foul out of the game and send them to the line than give them an easy two." Williams added that the physical nature of the game helped the Tar Heels maintain a stingy defense that he thinks will become a team trademark. "We're going to start getting after teams with some real defensive pressure," Williams said. "They're going to have a tough time running their offenses." lei hoop to open up a 10-point lead. The first half ended with Charles Shackleford netting a three-point play and a reverse dunk, the latter coming seven seconds before half time. Lebo launched a 25-foot shot at the buzzer that fell through the net, but he was just a little too late getting it off. Thus, a lead which could have been much larger, according to Tar Heel coach Dean Smith, was only 42 35. "I thought we could have been up by as many as 18 to 20 in the first half," Smith said. "We didn't take advantage of the opportunities we had late in the half. I thought we played very good defense in the first half with our scramble and our trapping." Fouling was a problem for both squads. After the first 20 minutes both Reid and 'Pack forward Chucky Brown had three. By game's end, though, Reid, Williams, Brown and State freshman Chris Corchiani had four apiece, and Shackleford had joined State coach Jim Valvano on the bench with his fifth. The physical nature of the contest came to a head late in the first stanza. State's Avie Lester, apparently riled Kaplan, gymnasts finish second From staff reports WILLIAMSBURG, Va.

Reid (with ball) and N.C. State's Charles Shackleford was just one of many in Sunday's game from page 1 up, drew a charge on Bucknall and then threw in some words that Buck chose to ignore. But on the ensuing State posses sion, Lester threw an elbow that caught senior Tar Heel guard Ran zino Smith, making his return after a thigh bruise, above his left eye. The cut took 12 stitches to close. The Wolfpack put the squeeze on to start the second half. Brown hit from the baseline and Shackleford, in full force Sunday, hit a hook shot and two baseline buckets to cut the lead to three. With both Reid and Williams picking up their fourth fouls, the pressure mounted. But Smith, his head bandaged, hit a short jumper to up the lead to three, and after two Shackleford free throws, he hit a tough 10-foot jumper to bring the lead back up to three with 7:43 to go. From then on, the Pack kept it close, pulling even at 62 on a Vinny Del Negro trey, but they just couldn't surge enough to overcome the Tar Heels. "It seemed like every time we would cut the lead down to one or two, we just couldn't get over the hump," sophomore Kristin third with 35.85. Bilotta finished The Tar Heels took first in the vault, behind Kaplan's 9.4, and the uneven bars, with freshman Debbie Sigler pulling out a 9.3. North Carolina swept the uneven bars as Bilotta took second with a 9.25 and junior Missy Shaffner, performing before a virtual hometown crowd, took third with a 9. 15.

"They made a lot of big plays in those situations, and we had some good shots that we just couldn't get down." One of those plays came from Madden, who hit a layup and then picked up a beautiful backdoor feed from Williams for a slam with 3:01 left to move the Tar Heels ahead by six. Then came a crucial Tar Heel score. Williams, moving right-to-left through the lane, head-faked Brian Howard into a foul as he laid the ball in. The three-point play gave the Heels a 75-68 lead with 2:12 to go. But Monroe, who stole Corchiani's spotlight Sunday, hit a three-point bomb which Reid countered with a drop-step lay-in. After a State turnover and a missed Smith free throw, Monroe had a chance to cut the lead to three. But his trey missed as well, setting up two of the game's biggest plays. Shackleford, who would finish with a game-high 26 points, rebounded the miss, but Reid went up with him to reject the shot. Brown then put up a shot that Williams batted all the way downcourt. "I just really wanted to take some time off the clock," Williams said. "I knew there was about 22 seconds at the time that I hit it, and I figured that it would take at least three or four seconds to bring it up." After Quentin Jackson chased it down, Monroe missed another trey, thereby snuffing out any last Wolf pack hopes. "We wanted to come in here, work hard and get out with a win," Lebo said. "We didn't let up, we didn't give up and we didn't get flustered by the crowd or the situation. "When the game was tied, our composure showed, and I think that's a sign of a good team."
