The Daily Tar HeelMonday, December 3, 19907 SMnrS asttetball the first period. Smith hoped UNC would leave its tourney jitters in the locker room and complete the blowout in the second half. But what had been bad went to worse for the Tar Heels, and South Carolina finally managed to decipher UNC's trapping defense. While the Tar Heels sputtered, scoring just six points and committing seven turnovers in the first 8:46 of the second half, the Gamecocks consistently beat the double-team, scoring 5 of 6 buckets on dunks or layups and battling back to a 46-41 deficit midway through the period. The UNC lead grew no larger than six points for the rest of the game, and when a Barry Manning 3-pointer tied the score at 72 with 0:49 to play, the Tar Heels suddenly realized that, blowouts aside, this may be no victory after all. Instead of showing poise in the closing minute, UNC panicked. Hubert Davis went from hero to goat in less than 30 seconds. Fouled on the dribble by USC's Jamie Watson with 0:35 on the clock, Davis coolly canned both of his free throws, giving UNC a 74-72 lead. But after a pass from Watson to Chris Leso beat the UNC press to tie the game at 74 with 0:21 left, Davis boo booed when he failed to let the clock wind down and work for a last shot. Instead, the junior guard heaved up an awkward baseline shot with 0: 13 on the clock, leaving plenty of time for Leso to pull down the rebound and outlet to Michael Glover, who passed to tournament MVP Joe Rhett, who went back to Glover again on the break for a 76-74 lead with seven ticks left. UNC moved the ball to halfcourt and called timeout at 0:05.8. On the ensuing inbounds play, Pete Chilcutt lobbed crosscourt for Davis, who couldn't find the handle and deflected the ball to Lynch. Rhett swarmed Lynch on the baseline, and the Tar Heel sophomore - then lost it out of bounds at :04. UNC's hopes became bleak. The Tar Heels did manage a foul on Rhett with 1 .7 seconds left, and when he missed both of his free throws UNC had one last gasp at 0:00.6.

Rozier turned and fired, but his one hander fell short, and the impossible had indeed happened. "I was happy at 10 minutes to go," Smith said. "At the timeout, I said, 'Good, we'll get in a close one. We need one of these' "But I didn't mean it to be like that. I thought we'd go ahead and win by 3 or 4." Said Fox, "We thought we were too good, too soon. I'm not saying that we can't be great, but we underestimated these guys and then when we did get in a closer game than we expected, ev eryone figured we'd just take it into our own hands and go from there. But we forgot it was a team effort." As opposed to Saturday's balanced attack, which saw every Tar Heel score, Lynch, Fox and Davis were the only UNC players to reach double figures with 16, 15 and 14 points, respectively and five Tar Heels notched goose eggs. Rhett and Manning led the Game cocks, who shot 67 percent in the sec ond half, with 1 5 points each. They also played a large part in USC's pesky defense, which clogged the passing lanes and prevented the Tar Heels from es tablishing an inside game. The two combined for seven of the Gamecocks' 17 steals. "We're a better ballhandling team than that, but they're a very quick de fensive team, too," Smith said. Saturday night's victory put a bit tersweet cap on UNC's wild weekend. The 3 -point bombing of Cyclone point guard Brian Pearson (15 points, 5 of 10 from 3-point range), along with the in side play of 6-foot-9, 265-pound mon ster Victor Alexander (22 points, 14 rebounds), threatened to keep the game close in the second half. But a Tar Heel team that crumbled in a similar situation the night before re mained calm, forcing 28 ISU turnovers for the game and converting on 55 percent of its shots in the second period. The Cyclones couldn't match South Carolina's defensive effort, and apatient Tar Heel squad worked the ball inside from page 12 suggests that the Tar Heels did collect something positive from the South Carolina loss. North Carolina was riding high with a No. 4 national ranking and lofty expectations, and the unexpected setback may have brought the Tar Heels back to earth and back to the basics. For a Smith-coached team, basics means offensive patience and teamwork. Freshman forward Clifford Rozier summed up the post-USC Tar Heel mentality. "We tried to go out and play as a team," he said. "We just wanted to go out and play like North Carolina." X pm "nah, t irmn-TOnii mnium CJ " ! COMPLEMENT YOUR CLASSROOM EDUCATION WITH A FANTASTIC LEADERSHIP POSITION!

"It was very different from yester day," Rodl said after the victory. "We shot the ball too fast yesterday, and today we just relaxed and passed the ball four or five times and found the open man.

But a somewhat sobered North Carolina team would make its way back to Chapel Hill the next morning, enriched, perhaps, with a valuable lesson in complacency. "It's a painful way to learn, but it's probably the best way," Smith said. The committee, on the final day of a two-day meeting in Chicago, adopted a resolution stating its "grave concerns" about Cuba's lack of a laboratory, necessary equipment or trained techni cians to perform the tests. The Pan Am Games will be held in Havana in August. The United States is urging the International Olympic Committee to arrange for athletes' urine samples to be flown to a properly equipped laboratory in North America, said committee spokesman Mike Moran. UCLA outguns Loyola-Marymount for record 149-98 victory LOS ANGELES Don MacLean scored 33 points and it was the No. 12 UCLA Bruins who did the running-and-gunning against Loyola Marymount in a record-setting 149-98 victory on Sunday night. The Bruins are off to their third straight 4-0 start under coach Jim Harrick. Loyola Marymount (2-4) played its third game in as many nights and its sixth straight away from home.

The men's and women's swimming teams took part in the Princeton Invitational over the weekend along with Brown, Penn State, and the host Tigers. The meet concluded late Sunday night, and final team and individual results were un available. Friday, senior Marc Ferguson won the men's 1 ,650-yard freestyle by nearly 10 seconds, coming in at 15:54.35. Also on Friday, the women's 800 yard free relay team edged Princeton in the closest event of the day. Relay members Melissa Douse, Jenny Huber, Trish McHardy and Cathy Burgess swam the distance in 7:34.67. Princeton use Rhett made some tough shots. A couple times we even threw the ball right to them. "Hey, we're the guys in the white shirts." Senior forward Rick Fox put it this way: "You have to credit their defense, but you've got to slap us on the back of the head. That was a careless disrespect for the ball." All the slicing and prodding woke up North Carolina from the knockout gas, but when it saw South Carolina doing the doctoring and glimpsed its own in ternal bleeding, panic set in. "We were rushing everything," Fox said, "taking shots too quick and such. Any person who watches the team would know this wasn't the Carolina team on offense." Co-captain point guard King Rice agreed that things weren't quite Caro-lina-esque against the Gamecocks. "I thought we took some shots that were uncharacteristic," he said. "In the first two games, we were moving the ball around and finding the open man. Shootout on Nov. 23. Mitchelutler added 18 points for the Bruins, while Derrick Martin had 17 and Tracy Murray and Shon Tarver 16 each. Richard Petruska led Loyola Marymount with 21 points.

Senior John Davis also posted a win with a time of 0:51.81 in the 100 yard backstroke. The 400 medley relay team of Hamrick, Ashley Anderson, Chip Lav ender and Mark Sedlack finished second with a 3:26.13. Heather Nottingham claimed the only women's first-place finish of the day by winning the 200 breaststroke in 2:20.06. Susan Leopold took second in the 100 yard butterfly, and the 400 medley relay team took second. from page 1? Tonight, we were just shooting up any shot they gave us, and we're not going to win basketball games that way." Even the youngsters knew that the operation wasn't going well. Freshman center Eric Montross said: "There were too many shots going up too soon, after one pass or after two passes. That's not our game. When we're good, we're passing four or five times, and if we have a good shot after two or three, we take it. But we were jacking up some shots that weren't quality to night. "I think you credit them for being a good team, but I didn't think we rose to the occasion like we should have." With panic comes desperation, and individual play overtook the system which has brought Smith and the Tar Heels 690 victories in his 30 years of coaching. "I think it was a case where everybody said, 'We've got to get going, and I'm going to lead us,'" Smith said. "And when that happens, you're dead." So went the patient. tournament a streak dating back to January 1 989. Tyson finished with 1 9 points, seven rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes of play.
