6The Daily Tar HeelFriday, January 27, 1989 Sports Kadfoird steals last-second win By JAMIE ROSENBERG Staff Writer When a basketball game comes down to the final minute with the score close, the nerves tight and the sweat abundant, teams look to their veterans to pull them through. But this axiom may have been disproven Thursday night in a wom en's game between UNC and Radford University. Veteran blunders and freshman heroics in the game's waning seconds culminated in a steal and lay up by Radford freshman Rosalyn Groce with five seconds to play, giving the Highlanders a dra matic 72-70 victory. With nine seconds showing on the clock, Groce swiped an inbounds pass thrown by Tar Heel junior Wendy Gatlin at the UNC end of the floor and outraced two defenders for an easy hoop at the other end. The Tar Heels made a last effort to send the game into overtime, but a shot at the buzzer by junior guard Liza Donnell glanced off the back of the rim. UNC, however, had to scrap and scramble just to make the game close. With the Tar Heels down, 70-65, and 50 seconds remaining, freshman point guard Emily Johnson canned a three point bomb to close the margin to two points. After a tenacious North Carolina trapping defense failed to phase the Highlanders, the Tar Heels were forced to foul, but, so it seemed, they put the wrong person on the line. With 18 seconds left, Donnell fouled Radford point guard Ste phanie Howard, who had riddled UNC with 33 points and six of seven free throw shooting. But Howard, a 5-foot-5 senior, missed the front end of her one-and-one and gave North Carolina a chance to tie. At the other end, Donnell drew a shooting foul in the low post and converted both free throws with 11 seconds left to even the score. After UNC's Tanya Lamb tied up Radford's inbounds pass with the possession arrow pointing in the Tar Heels favor, North Carolina had yet another chance and was looking to end its four-game losing streak I WWWM vV. w i v - V v Wjfc. -----V.-Y1f-1T1r1V-n---, ) ' " UNC Edge Georgia Tech With Lebo still ailing, King Rice "SXk?

The Tar Heels led by as many as 1 1 points in the first half and six in the second, but with Radford's Howard able to drive and score at will, no lead was safe.

It brings out the best in all of us. By ANDREW PODOLSKY Assistant Sports Editor Yes, the Georgia Tech basketball team has lost three of six games in the last two weeks, but dont be deceived. When the 22nd-ranked Yellow Jackets come to Chapel Hill on Saturday afternoon for a 1:30 match up with the seventh-ranked Tar Heels in the Smith Center, theyll be at the end of one of the most grueling two weeks that any basketball team will face this year. And they played well. . Saturday will mark the fourth team ranked in the top 15 that the Yellow Jackets, 12-5 overall and 2-1 in the ACC, have faced in the last 14 days. In the process, they almost knocked off two of the top three teams in the nation. After losing to 15th-ranked N.C. State (82-68), the Jackets gave third ranked Louisville all it could handle on national television before suc cumbing 67-65, then turned around a week later and took an undefeated Illinois team to two overtimes before coming up short, 102-92. Now the high-scoring Yellow Jackets come to Chapel Hill a weathered, tested squad. They had to struggle Wednesday night to edge out a scrappy Clemson team 75-74. Despite all that, Tech is still close to the lead in the . ACC, and the Yellow Jackets boast three players who score more than 16 points per game. The heart and soul of this 1989 Georgia Tech squad has to be 6-foot-, 9 senior forward Tom Hammonds. An All-ACC performer last year, Hammonds leads the explosive Yel low Jackets in scoring (20.8 ppg) and rebounding (7.6 rbg). The Tech big man is making his presence felt in the record books as well as on the court as he closes in on third place in all-time scoring for Georgia Tech with 1,811 career points. Hammonds, a natural forward, played out of position at center for most of last year because of a shortage of big people in the Tech line-up. This year, however, he has played most of his minutes at the power forward spot. It is here that he can be deadly. Comfortable playing with his back to the basket, he is truly one of the premier post-up players in the nation. Joining Hammonds on the front line are senior forward Anthony Sherrod (7.1 ppg.) and Johnny McNeil (7.1 ppg.), with 6-foot-8 junior center Maurice Brittian (5.5 ppg.) coming on in relief. Averaging 6-feet-8, they will have their hands full against the deep and tall Tar Heel front line. The Tech front line is not very deep after Brittian, and if the Jackets are going to be competitive on the boards they will have to stay out of foul trouble. The Yellow Jackets are also going to have to have a Herculean effort from their exciting guards. Sopho more guard Dennis Scott, a 6-foot-8 gunner from the outside, is loved by everyone these days it seems, and at 19.4 points per game and 64 three pointers on the season, it's no wonder. He can hit from 23 feet out, jam over 6-foot-1 1 centers and get up the court faster than, well, faster than most 6-foot-8 men. The word amazing comes to mind. But someone is going to have to get the ball to this slashing guard. Point-guard Brian Oliver will have to come up with another pro-like effort. Oliver may be pro material and is the consistent one of the bunch. Hell meet his average of 16.8 points per game and will boost his impressive assists total on the season. He already has 135. But these are tangibles, and as we know, anything can happen on the court. Tech has a lot of scoring potential, pouring in 85.1 points per game. If the Yellow Jackets use some of the things they've learned in the past few weeks, the Tar Heels may have a tough scoring battle on their hands. But don't hold your breath. Last year's games between these two squads included an unforgettable Jan. 31 fiesta at the Smith Center. You might remember it as the Jeff Lebo show. Lebo hit five consecutive three-point shots, the last with 48 seconds remaining, to give the Tar Heels a thrilling 73-71 victory. The March 3rd rematch at The Omni in Atlanta turned into a second-half shooting clinic by the Tar Heels, who shot their way toanimpressive 97 80 victory. Dunk Finals Saturday. Three finalists in the second annual Carolina Fever dunking contest will compete for the title during halftime of the Georgia Tech game on Sat urday afternoon in the Smith Center.
