6 Monday, January 23,1995 SPOMIEFS UNC Gymnastics Tumbles At Quadrangular Meet North Carolina’s gymnastics team fin ished fourth Sunday in a four-team meet held at William & Mary Hall in Williamsburg, Va. The meet is unofficial because the appa ratus didn’t meet specifications, meaning the scores could be inaccurate, head coach Derek Galvin said. The Tar Heels scored 181.275 team points on the day, leaving them 1.625 points behind the third-place hosts, who scored 182.9. N.C. State won the meet with 186.15 points, and George Washington placed second with 184.3. The lone Tar Heel to place in the top three on an apparatus was Amanda Mitchell. The freshman from Almonte Springs, Fla., tied for second on the bal ance beam with an average score of 9.65. UNC’s next meet is against Radford at 7 p.m. Saturday in Carmichael Audito rium. Minnesota Goes (to) West To Cool Off Hot Hornets MINNEAPOLIS Doug West has been with the Minnesota Timberwolves long enough to learn a thing or two about losing. Now, he’s trying to help his team mates learn how to avoid it. West played a near-flawless all-around game Sunday, contributing on both ends of the floor as the Wolves handed the Charlotte Hornets just their second loss in 12 games, 100-83. West scored 21 points and added six assists and seven rebounds while holding down Charlotte’s perimeter shooters. The Wolves ended a five-game losing streak against the Hornets that dated to the 1991- 92 season. Isaiah Rider led all scorers with 29 points and the Wolves held the Hornets to just 37 percent shooting from the field. Couples Fires Flawless 66 To Top All-Star Golf Field DUBAI, United Arab Emirates —Fred Couples became the first American to win the Dubai Desert Classic, firing a flawless 6-under-par 66 Sunday in beating Colin Montgomerie of Scotland by three strokes. Couples completed four trips around the Emirates Golf Club at 268,20-under par, and received $112,500 from the total purse of $675,000. Nick Price of Zimbabwe, the world’s No. 1 player, fired a 68 for 272 and tied for third with New Zealand’s Michael Campbell and Australia’s Wayne Riley, each of whom carded a 67. Greg Norman of Australia finished at 273 after a 70. Defending champion Ernie Els of South Africa shot a 71 for 274 and Bernhard Langer of Germany had a 68 for 279.

State would jump at the bait, No. 8 Maryland forced the Wolfpack into a trap it couldn’t get out of Sunday. While the Wolfpack (10-5, 2-3 in the ACC) was struggling with its outside shoot ing, Joe Smith scored 26 points and the Terrapins used 71 percent field goal shoot ing in the second half for an 84-67 victory. The triumph was built on Maryland’s plan to make the N.C. State offense work at its 3-point shooting. “We know that N.C. State is a perim eter shooting team,” Smith said. “We saw it against Carolina. They’re capable of hit ting a bunch of 3s. “What we wanted to do is take away the perimeter and make them penetrate and see if they could create from penetration. Our guards did a good job of doing that." Except for Todd Fuller’s play and an occasional inside move by Ishua Benjamin, the Wolfjpack couldn’t score on Smith and was 6 for 21 from 3-point range. “Once they penetrated, they tried to pass it back out for a 3 because that’s the way they play,” Smith said. “We wanted to make them penetrate, and when they passed it back out, have a hand in the shooter’s face.” Benjamin said the Maryland plan also created an impatient team. “They made us rush our shots a lot more,” he said. “When we started working on offense and using the time to our advan tage, we shot the ball a little quicker.” In pulling off the strategy, Maryland (14-3,4-1) won for the eighth time in nine games and for the 12th time in 14. It also was coach Gary Williams 300th career victory. He also coached at American, Boston College and Ohio State before his current job at his alma mater. Williams said January is not the time to enjoy such ipilestones. “This time of year, yoh have to put that aside and think about Clemson, ” Williams said, referring to Maryland’s next oppo nent. “Then, at the end of the year, say 300 is nice. But I can’t be thinking about that tonight or tomorrow.” Virginia 86, Georgia Tech 85,2 0T CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. —It’s get ting to the point where forcing Virginia into overtime merely prolongs the inevi table. “I knew once we got into overtime that everything was OK,” Cory Alexander said after his 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in the second extra session sent No. 18 Vir ginia to an 88-85 victory over No. 22 Geor gia Tech on Sunday. Not only was it the Cavaliers’ second double-overtime victory in seven days, but it marked the seventh consecutive time they have been forced into overtime and come out ahead.

I feel like we have better guards, and we have a better overall scheme of how we try to approach things in overtime. There’s no need to panic.” Alexander, a junior point guard, fin ished with 24 points and seven assists as the Cavaliers (114, 5-1 ACC) regained first place in the league. Junior Burrough added 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who won for the fifth time in six games. Their only loss in that stretch was at North Carolina, which fell one-half game behind Virginia in the league standings at 41. Georgia Tech (11-6,2-3) lost to Virginia for the second consecutive time after win ning nine in a row against the Cavaliers. Florida State 78, Duke 75 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Bob Sura scored 23 points, but it was his final basket followed by a steal to set up another score that helped Florida State to a 78-75 victory Saturday over Duke. Itwastheßlue Devils’ sixth straight loss —the school’s longest winless streak in 56 years. Freshman Corey Louis added 21 points and James Collins 14 for Florida State (9- 5, 3-3 in the ACC). Sura did miss two free throws with 36 seconds left and the Seminoles missed out on a point with 15 seconds left on a lane violation that wiped out an Avery Cuny free throw, but Duke (9-8, 0-6) couldn’t capitalize. “I thought maybe we were celebrating a MEN'S BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 12 North Carolina swatted lOHokie shots, including a career-high seven by Wallace, who also scored 18 points. The Hokies’ rebounding almost paid off as they clung to a lead for most of the first eight minutes of the second half. A Damon Watlington 3-pointer at 15:47 gave Tech its largest lead at 48-44. UNC tied the game with Stackhouse free throws and a Donald Williams run ning jumper, but Watlington hit another clutch trey, and it was 53-50. Watlington, however, wouldn’t hit another from be hind the arc, and the Tar Heels took over with an 8-0 run. Wallace sank a baseline jumper over Shawn Smith, Mclnnis made three free throws after he was fouledby Shawn Good on a 3-pointer, Calabria connected from outside the arc and in less than a minute, the Hokies were down by five. “We might have run out of gas down the stretch with six people,” Jackson said. The first half was especially sloppy for the Tar Heels, who committed 12 turn overs, including four by point guard Mclnnis. “Our ball-handling in the first half was careless,” Smith said. “They don’t force a lot of turnovers because they just jam in.” UNC built a nine-point lead early, but the Hokies battled back to take a two-point lead, led by Good’s 10 consecutive points. But 3-pointers by Calabria, who scored 17 points, and Landry gave UNC a 37-36 lead at halftime. Notes ft Quotes The game was a homecoming for Landry and Clyde Lynn, both of whom attended Page High School in Greensboro. Landry made the most of it, sinking a 30-footer as the buzzer sounded to end the game. Landry finished with a career-high 11 points. ... Donald Williams, coming off his best game of the season Wednesday Coach K to Sit Out Rest of Season THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH—Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, recovering from back surgery and exhaustion, will not coach again this season. Athletic director Tom Butters said Sunday the 47-year-old coach, who has led the Blue Devils to seven Final Fours and two national championships, will return for the 1995-96 season. For now, Krzyzewski is to continue his rehabilitation without contact with the basketball team. “We’ll talk with him, and we’ll want updates on how his health is and how he’s feeling,” interim coach Pete Gaudet said during Krzyzewski’s radio show broadcast from Raleigh on Sunday night. “I would even hope that in a conversa tion, if there’s something that he saw about our team, he would give it to us. Basically, it’s going to be a hands-off approach.” Physicians, university officials and Krzyzewski agreed that to rush back to basketball would not be in the best inter ests of the coach or the school. Dr. John Feagin, head ofKrzyzewski’s teamofphysicians,said the 15-year Duke little too early,” said Florida State coach Pat Kennedy. “I thought Bobby would make his, but Avery is a freshman. I could hear Avery’s knees rattling over on the sidelines.” Florida State went scoreless the final 2:31, and Duke didn’t score after Trajan Langdon’s two free throws with 2:21 left. “We had the opportunity,” said acting Duke coach Pete Gaudet. “That's the game, that’s the way it’s played. We had dug ourselves into a hole in the first half.” Wake Forest 69, Clemson 60 WINSTON-SALEM Dave Odom didn’t know if it would work, but the Wake Forest coach was hoping Tony Rutland’s Are you looking for an exciting and rewarding summer job?

Krzyzewski underwent back surgery Oct. 22 for a displaced disc and returned to work in about two weeks. “Unfortunately, with the demands of coaching and his inner drive to succeed, he did not allow his body to return to normal,” Feagin said. Feagin said he has no doubt Krzyzewski will return next season in full health. The typical recovery time for that type of surgery is six to 12 weeks. Two days after the Blue Devils lost their ACC opener to Clemson, Krzyzewski complained of exhaustion and was admitted to Duke University Hospital on Jan. 6. On Jan. 10, Krzyzewski was released from the hospital with instructions to put his basketball and administrative responsibilities aside and concentrate strictly on his recovery. When Krzyzewski left, the Blue Dev ils were 9-3. The team, now coached by Gaudet, has lost six straight games, with Gaudet having coached five of those losses. desire would kick in at some point.

I just hoped that he would be the guy. I can’t say that I had a great feeling or anything like that. It was just one of those substitutions that I made.”
