North Carolina versus Duke. OK,
the swimming rivalry isnt quite as
big as basketball's, but the Tar Heels
picked up two impressive wins Wed-
Basketball
erg
ysoo help swimmers pah past Blue Devils
nesday night. About 50 fans in Koury
Natatorium witnessed the UNC
women dominate the Blue Devils 153
.78. North Carolina's men followed
suit, whipping Duke 152-80.
Coach Frank Comfort was
impressed with the showing of both
the young Tar Heel men and women.
Due to the domination of both teams
by freshmen and sophomores, only
three seniors managed to score.
One of the most impressive areas
from page 1
Perdue era.
UNC looked invincible in the
game's opening minutes, forcing
sqven Vandy turnovers and holding
the Commodores to just one shot en
route to a 15-0 lead at the 16:40 mark.
Scott Williams got things started
with a tip-in a mere 12 seconds into
the contest. Lebo then followed with
a steal and his first three-pointer of
the night. King Rice then came up
with a steal and dished off to Lebo,
who finished off the break with a
layup that made it 7-0.
Moments later, Madden worked
free for a layup, drew the foul and
added the free throw to give UNC
a double-digit lead. A Vandy time out
couldn't stem the tide, and Lebo
sandwiched a free throw and a
backdoor layup around a Steve
Bucknall breakaway gimmie.
The Commodores finally scored at
the 16:30 mark when center Frank
Kornet dunked behind the gambling
UNC defense. But Williams scored
two more buckets, Pete Chilcutt
added a tip-in and Lebo drilled back-to-back
bombs from three-point land
to make it 27-7 just seven minutes
into the contest.
Reserve forward Morgan Wheat
answered at the other end with a
Vandy layup, but Williams tipped in
a Lebo miss and, after a timeout,
UNC's 6-3 senior guard made a steal
near midcourt, dribbled to the right
wing and nailed a pull-up trifecta that
ran the Tar Heels' bulge to 32-9. At
that point, UNC appeared well on its
way to a blowout of epic proportions.
But all good things must come to
an end, even temporarily, and the
Commodores gradually climbed back
into contention. Kornet, a 6-8 senior
who finished with 16 points and eight
rebounds, hit three straight hoops
and Wilcox swished a three-pointer
to make it a 34-18 game.
UNC was still up by 16, at 42-26,
when the 'Dores reeled off 1 1 straight
points to pull within 42-37 at the 1:53
mark. The teams swapped baskets
from there, enabling the Tar Heels
to go to the locker room with a 46
39 lead.
The Tar Heels aided the Vandy
comeback with a unusual stretch of
sloppiness. Any shot was a good shot
from the UNC perspective, a short
term philosophy which didn't sit well
with Smith.
"That's never been the plan; that's
Loyola," Smith said. "Certainly, I
didnt expect our early onslaught to
continue against a well-coached
Vanderbilt team. But I was disap
pointed we didn't handle (the early
lead) better. All of a sudden we went
on our own. Even though I want
"quick shots, we don't want a hungry
Iteam.
; -My gosh, those four (shots) in a
row before I took the the timeout . . .

that's getting cocky, looking up at the
score. We have intelligent players; we
shouldn't be that dumb out there."
In the second half, UNC raced back
out to a 12-point lead, at 53-41, when
Rick Fox hit a fastbreak layup off
Bucknall's feed. But the Commodores
battled back behind the surprising
inside play of 6-11 sophomore Fred
Benjamin, who had seven points in
the first five minutes.
Booker then made a steal and
finished it off with a slam to pull
Vandy back within 55-50 at the 14:30
mark. Vanderbilt's Eric Reid, who
finished with a team-high 17 points,
went to the bench with his fourth foul
at that point, enabling the Tar Heels
to go on an eight-point run of their
own.
Chilcutt capped the mini-surge
with a 10-foot baseline jumper as
UNC went back in front by 13.
The Commodores cut the deficit
to eight, at 72-64, with eight minutes
remaining, but UNC answered with
verve once again. Lebo got things
started with a short banker, and
Madden hit a follow shot. Bucknall
then converted . a steal-and-slam,
Madden scored inside and Williams
canned one of two free throws to give
North Carolina an 81-64 lead with
4:25 to go.
Afterwards, Smith was' asked 'to
reflect on the Tar Heels' impressive
season start.
"I'm ecstatic about the record,"
Smith; said. "I never dreamed we
would be this way, even with J.R.
(Reid). When J.R. comes back, well
have some chemistry problems, but
I hope they only last for one game.
He started half-speed running yester
day, so we're looking for him to
return either just after Christmas or
just before."
