The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, February 20, 19917 Tar Heel Hotebook Men's Basketball The Tar Heels scored 62 points in the first half of Monday's 1 18-50 thumping of The Citadel the most this season ... In the last seven games, UNC has made 55 .5 percent of its floor attempts. In the Citadel win and the victory versus Maryland Feb. 16, the Tar Heels hit 88 of their 143 field-goal attempts, a blistering .615 mark ... Junior guard Hubert Davis continues to shoot well from 3-point land. In his last seven games. Davis, the ACC's trifecta -percentage leader, has hit 14 of 27 bombs, a .519 clip. The Burke, Va., native was one of five Tar Heels to score in double figures versus The Citadel. Davis (15 points) shared scoring honors with freshman Clifford Rozier. Rozier's 15 points were the most since his career-high 22 versus Jacksonville Nov. 27 ... Freshman Derrick Phelps dished out eight assists in the first half in only nine minutes of playing time. UNC's single-game assist record is 17.setby JefTLebo Nov. 18, 1988 versus Tennessee-Chattanooga. Phelps, a 6-3 point guard, was sick and didn't play in the second half. "I was losing a lot of stamina out there," Phelps said after Monday's win. "I had to take a breather. I just felt that if I had kept on going, I would have fainted out there." ... Although five players scored at least 10 points versus the Bulldogs, starters Pete Chilcutt and George Lynch scored nine and six points, respectively. Lynch would have tallied more than 10 if he hadn't missed a pair of first-half dunks. Chilcutt still hit 4 of his 5 floor attempts in 17 minutes of play. For his career, Chilcutt has made good on 434 of 800 floor attempts, a .543 percent age. NEIL AMATO Women's Basketball Saturday's 64-61 upset of Maryland was UNC's first ACC victory in 1 2 tries, dating back to Feb. 2 1 , 1 990. On that day. the Tar Heels edged Duke 58-56 at Carmichael Auditorium ... Center Kim Oden raised her scoring average to 9.8 points per game with an 18-point effort against the Terrapins. She also pulled down eight rebounds. All of this came in only 20 minutes of playing time. The passes were there," Oden said. "The guards did a great job of getting the ball inside. I was just finishing it up." ... Senior Leigh Waddell has seen a tremendous increase in playing time since starting point guard Emily Johnson fractured her finger in a loss at Virginia. Waddell played 36 minutes at N.C. State and 40 minutes against Maryland. In those two games, Waddell has scored 16 points and handed out 10 assists. "I can't wait for Em to get back," Waddell said after the Maryland win. "It's great. I'm glad I was able to do what I needed to do. That's all I want to do come in and do what the team needs for me to do." ... The UNC-Maryland game will be shown tape-delayed on ESPN Wednesday at 9 p.m. The game is being aired in place of the Duke-N.C. State men's game, which is blacked out in areas that receive the RaycomJP Sports broad cast of the game ... UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell had to catch a plane an hour after Saturday's victory. Her destination was Mauro High School just south of Atlanta, where she would watch UNC recruit Stephanie Lawrence play that night. Lawrence has connected on an incredible 84 of 147 three-pointers (57 percent). To give you an idea of how outstanding that figure is, the top three-point shooter in the ACC, Nicole Levesque of Wake Forest, is shooting 42.9 percent. Only three players in the ACC are shooting more than 57 percent from anywhere in the field. DAVID J.

THE PRINCETON REVIEW The nemesis of standardized testing. 919967-7209 V Dinke ddfeeG3 hurt UNC women By Erik Rogers Staff Writer Freshman Tonya Sampson has dis played Samson-like strength for the women's basketball team this season, but Tuesday night she met her Delilah in Carmichael Auditorium. Duke's Blue Devils trimmed Sampson's shooting space and her room to operate, as the frustrated Clinton native found herself and her teammates suffocating in a swarming Duke defense. In the process, Duke escaped with a 59 54 win. The win pushed the Blue Devils to 5 7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 15-10 overall. Meanwhile, the Heels continue to occupy the conference cel lar as they dropped to 1-11 in conference play and 11-14 overall. The win gave Duke a season sweep over UNC. The Blue Devils defeated the Tar Heels 78 72 Jan. 15 in Durham. Sampson came into the night aver aging 15 points per game, one of those games being a 19-point, 10-rebound performance in the Heels' first meeting with Duke. But Tuesday night proved to be a nightmare for the freshman, as she shot 30 percent from the field on six-of-20 shooting, including a dismal two-f or-ten performance in the first half. Sampson tallied 17 points to pace the Heels, but a large percentage of those baskets came late when Duke had al ready built a commanding lead. "I wasn't shooting well because I had tape on my hand," said Sampson, who also snagged five rebounds. "I jammed my pinkie in practice." And Duke's defense jammed Sampson to committing five turnovers. As a team, the Heels gave the ball back to Duke 17 times. "She (UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell) told me to keep shooting and so I kept shooting," Sampson said. "But my shots would not fall for me." Hatchell said it was poor shooting that did in UNC. "I think the difference was shoot ing," Hatchell said. "We didn't make many shots that we had. They got a lot of second shots and that hurt us." North Carolina shot 35 percent for the game, while Duke shot 44.4 percent from the floor. The Blue Devil attack was led by senior center Sue Harnett's 19 points and senior forward Monika Kost's 14 points. Each team made no table contributions at the charity stripe, as UNC hit 10 of. 15 free throws and Duke shot 19 of 31. " ' There was some good news for the Tar Heels as they welcomed the return of junior point guard Emily Johnson, who had been sidelined for two and one-half weeks with a jammed finger. Johnson, playing as a backup to senior Leigh Waddell, fouled out afterplaying 15m i nutes and scoring two points. "1 jammed it (my finger) in practice yesterday and that seemed to affect my performance," Johnson said. "It's sprained pretty good. I'm not quite one hundred percent." Waddell, starting her third straight game, scored four points and dished out four assists. But the Heels needed more than they were able to dish out. The Blue Devils jumped to the early 9-2 lead, partly due to an unblockable, Bill Walton-like hook shot by Harnett, who was one of the pacers of the early Duke spurt. At one point Duke held an 1 1 -point lead before the Tar Heels cut the lead to 2 1 -1 8 with 3:24 remaining in the first half. With Duke in front 25-22, sopho more guard Toni Montgomery sliced through the left side of the Duke defense and dished a one-handed assist to sophomore forward Heather Thompson. Thompson converted the lay up, cutting the Duke lead to one. Some 30 seconds later, Sampson added a free throw to knot the halftime score at 25-25. In the second half, the teams battled to a 33-33 stalemate. But Duke went on a 12-2 spurt, led by Harnett's shake- D Would you like $56.00 in just two weeks?
