8The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, November 8, 1988 Sports ACC loss doesn't prevent soccer from NCAA bid CLEMSON, S.C. First things first ... After Sunday's 2-1 loss to top ranked Virginia in the finals of the ACC Tournament, the UNC men's soccer team tried to hide its anxiety over whether or not the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee would award the Tar Heels' fine late season play with an at-large bid. "1 certainly think we're good enough to play (in the NCAAs)," UNC coach Anson Dorrance said after the game as he caught a few bites to eat in the tournament's press room. UI don't think there's any team in the country who has beaten more playoff-bound teams than we have. There's no question we played the toughest schedule." Even Virginia coach Bruce Arena thought the Tar Heels should make it in. "I said it (Saturday)," he said. MWe have five of the top teams in the country in this conference, and Carolina is one of them." Reaction differed among Tar Heel players. "Are we gonna get in?" anxious sophomore forward Derek Missimo queried. Senior Donald Cogsville bounced the idea up and down, noting that, traditionally, in this type situation, the Tar Heels have been kept out of the tournament. But, of course, he wanted in. "The tournament's great because A iVr.: """fx s 3 JL ARS1TY h 8ft CUNT EASTWOOD'S VJU?,.,&2? AWARD-WINNING 1988 CANNES GRAND JURY!

Sports Editor you have a week between games," he said, "and that gives you more time to relax and prepare for the next team." Relax, guys. You made it. Monday, those select few who have the power to snuff out one team's season while extending another's, handed down their decree from on high: UNC will play Wake Forest in the first round of the South Region al. The site and time still has yet to be revealed, though. The Deacons, whom the Tar Heels downed, 2-1, Oct. 5 in Chapel Hill, are 11-4-4 on the year. They lost in the first round of the ACC Tourna ment last Thursday, 2-1. The winner will play South Carol ina, probably at The Graveyard in Columbia. The Gamecocks played the Tar Heels to a scoreless tie Sept. 28 in Chapel Hill. So what made the committee look a little harder at the Tar Heels than their ACC mates? First, UNC almost upset top-ranked Virginia Sunday and took the first two matches in the tournament against two teams they had lost to earlier this season. Just like college football, it's better to lose early in the year, on the road "'EVERYBODY'S ALL AMERICAN' IS AMERICA'S GREAT LOVE STORY!"

Premiere Friday! y and to ranked teams, which both Duke and Clemson, whom the Tar Heels defeated 2-1 Thursday, were this year. Oh, and a late-season streak of wins doesn't hurt, either. Ironically, that streak ignited against the Gamecocks, for in that match, freshman Richard Wachsman began playing sweeper after not seeing a minute of action up to that point. That move enabled junior play maker Chad Ashton to return to his normal midfield position, where he controls the Tar Heel offense much as a conductor directs an orchestra. It also allowed Cogsville, the ACC's leading scorer with 14 goals and three assists, to work his magic from a forward spot. In that streak, the Tar Heels are 9-2-1, losing only to the Cavaliers in Chapel Hill and UNC-Charlotte on the road. But the Tar Heels might have gotten in for other reasons. They are a fun team to have around, and they typically go far in the NCAAs. Also, Dorrance has to be an influencing factor because of the success he's had with the women's squad. You know the man can coach some soccer and that, his teams are going to be tough. Indeed, that's precisely what he said Sunday. "If there's a characteristic we have, we're tough," he said. "We run hard, and this is an environment where that pays off. We like the pressure." Okay, so we know he's the Jimmy Valvano of college soccer. But can his squad continue its late-season improvement in the NCAAs? The Tar Heels have proven they can beat the Deacs. Assuming they get by Wake, they will then have to go up against USC in an almost identical situation as last year, when the Tar Heels won a thrilling, 2-1 overtime match in Columbia in the second round of the NCAAs. But whatever happens, you can bet on one thing when you're talking about the Tar Heel men's soccer team: it's gonna be exciting.

R. Hoop what a word! When you think of "hoop," you don see the Celtics, the Lakers, and certainly not the Hornets. Instead, it conjures up visions of New York playgrounds, small towns and wooden backboards in Indiana and, of course, Woollen Gym. Yes, Woollen, the bastion of pick up games on this basketball-crazy institution of higher learning, is the essence of the word "hoop" at least when I'm playing. Following one of my many bas ketball victories during these past few days, I was reminded of an insightful warning written by fellow DTH staffer, Doug Hoogervorst. In a recent article, he cautioned us not to confuse hustle with talent. Due to this, I finally realized I had been doing exactly what he had just warned us against. I had always seen myself as some one who hustled a lot and, as a result of my hard play and determination, usually won. But now I realize that it wasn't my hustle that won games, but rather my unbelievable natural talent. Thanks, Doug. You see, after a weekend of dom inating the courts, I thought it only fair to let those poor souls less fortunate than me in on some of my secrets. First of all, you must realize that I stand a menacing 5-foot SYi inches (I have to make sure I keep all those halves), so admittedly I do possess an unfair advantage. For those of you not blessed with such prodigious height, however, work on your jumping ability. Hell, I can almost get net! The way I look at it, basketball is all psychological. If you can intimidate your opponent with your size, by all means do so. But what I do is make them emotionally distraught.

This way, my opponents begin to lose the confidence they had when they first saw me trip onto the court wearing my squeaky clean Nike Air Trainer SCs. Bo Jackson wears them too, so you can see the shoes bring with them an aura of athletic invin cibility unmatched even by my own. Well, anyway, let's get back to those nerve-shattering, off-balance shots that can allow you to become a superior player, albeit not as dominant as I. You know the ones I'm talking about the shots only Bird and I can make consistently, the ones where you're falling out of bounds, behind the basket without a chance in hell of making? Practice them until they become second nature, for they will become the single most effective weapon in your basketball arsenal the dunk is also good, but it's kind of risky if you don't have my leaping ability. Another psychological ploy I have found worthwhile is losing games on purpose. I do this a lot, a whole lot. But, hey, it works. Ill admit, how ever, that for some of us, developing this skill can take a lot of time. I remember back when I was still learning this technique, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't lose. I'd put up turnaround jumpers from 22 feet without looking, and wouldn't you know it, they'd just go right in.

Finally, and perhaps most impor tantly, you need to practice. It is essential, however, that you do so with the utmost secrecy because this enables us to once again use those helpful little psychological ploys.
