The Daily Tar HeelFriday, February 9, 19905 Sports li L eei meed to Wake uo vs. Deacs By MARK ANDERSON Assistant Sports Editor Three weeks ago. Wake Forest met a Tar Heel basketball team in the middle of a five-game winning streak. In re match Sunday at 2:30 p?m. in Winston Salem, the Demon Deacons (S-1 2. 0-8) will meet a team headed in a different direction. UNC ( 1 6-8, 5-3) has lost two straight ACC contests and looked mediocre against a weak Miami team in! the interim. '-However, some things remain the s4me. Deacons' rookie head coach Dave Qdom is still winless in the ACC; NYednesday's loss to Georgia Tech put his personal streak at eight and Wake's at 10. dating back to last year. In fact, the Deacons have lost 1 1 of their last 13 games overall, with their only wins coming against powerhouses Hast Tennessee State and Old Dominion by a total of six points. Not exactly a matchup of goliaths, eh? Well, it sounded good enough to NBC, which will send cameras to the new Joel Coliseum to broadcast the contest nationally. The question is, which teams will the nation see? Will it be that Tar Heel team of the five-game winning streak? Or w ill it be the UNC squad that has shown up (or rather, hasn't shown up) for the last three games? What about the Deacs? Can they win their second game in the last 19 tries against UNC? What happened to that team which inspired sportswriters to put them in the ACC first division during the preseason? The person who would really like an answer to that question is Odom. He inherited a young, talented team with one of the ACC's strongest frontlines, only to see the Deacs nosedive into their usual cellar spot. Injuries, rule breaking and just a desire to shake things up have forced Odom into shuf fling lineups, but nothing seems to help. In the last meeting, a 73-6 1 Tar I leel victory, Odom was forced to play with out his only legitimate point guard, sophomore Derrick McQueen. The ankle injury that kept McQueen out then is still limiting his playing time, but Odom is more concerned with his fiat-out lack of production. As a freshman last year.

LtU diJ UD be playing for next year already. Beef stepped right into the Deacons' starting point guard spot and became the lead ing backcourt newcomer in the ACC. Unfortunately, all of his numbers (except assists which remain steady at 5.3 a game) have slid backwards. His point production has fallen from 9.1 to 6.8, namely because he is shoot ing only 37.3 percent from the floor, compared to 4S.3 last season. He has also been unable to help the Deacons' faltering outside game, which is the worst in the ACC from three-point range.. After drilling 2 1 of 43 treys last year, McQueen has only been able to connect on 7 of 34 this season. In the last meeting, Odom was forced to replace McQueen with sophomore Anthony Tucker, who is now coming off the bench. Tucker has been a do-it-all man for Odom, starting at both backcourt spots and small forward. The 6-foot-S transfer from Georgetown is averaging 12.9 points and 6.4 rebounds from page 4 line outrebounded UNC 52-34. In fact, 6-4 guard Brian Oliver had 1 0 rebounds of his ow n, and 12 of his 14 baskets were layups. At Maryland, Tony Massenburg and JerodMustaf virtually tripled Williams" 13-point performance with a combined 36 points and 14 boards. Wednesday, State scored at will inside, with Gugliotta.Thompson, Brian Howard and Hinnant (who's he?) combining for 51 points. UNC simply could not keep up with the Pack's quick ness, inside or out. Of State's 35 bas kets, 19 came on layups. dunks or tip ins. Easy baskets. Fouling out. Weak opposition. What's going on? In a most mind-boggling season, the fact that UXC's inside attack can go on or off like a light switch may be most mind boggling of all. How can Williams dominate Alonzo Mourning and yet be dominated by Malcolm Mackey? Whatever the answer, the switch needs to go back on very soon or the Tar Heels may find themselves watch ing the NCAA tournament on televi sion instead of playing in it. ill lli t Flashback (R) 7: 15 o 9:30 Born On The 4th of July (R) M-Th.7:30 Fri.-Sun. 7:00 9:50 JANE FONDA ROBERT DEN1RO j , A r . cz HeiroColdAyn -H Jer isdontana iVodct'ion bed wjrwswwto Baker bvfrt tyliarr'iei Fratsk, Jr lining itkh tnio&tH WerSeilersWVl"jrtytbHartin ( triph mm) Showtimes: Friday 7:00 9:20 Saturday & Sunday 2:00 4:20 The Deacons' frontline standout this season has been Chris King. The 6-8 sophomore was one of the top new comers in the nation last year, and many predicted All-America status for him this year. While he continues to im prove, he has not made the rapid strides expected. An up-and-down season has left him with 6.8 rebounds and 15.2 points a game on 58.8 percent shooting (third in the ACC). He busted out of a four-game slump on Wednesday with a 25-point effort against Georgia Tech. Senior forward Sam Ivy has been the Deacons' biggest disappointment. Af ter an outstanding sophomore campaign (1S.6 ppg., 7.6 rpg.), Ivy's numbers have steadily plummeted to this year's 8.8 ppg. and 5.1 rpg. However, he did compiled by Doug Hoogervorst score 23 points and grab eight re bounds in the last meeting with UNC. Odom has used 6-8 senior David Carlyle and 6-3 junior Robert Siler at the off-guard this year with sporadic results.
