from the 3-point line. If the rest of the team
could pick up part of his 20.4 points-per
game tally, Duke might have a conference
victory.
Eric Meek, who originally planned to
redshirt his senior year to better his “pro
fessional” outlook, has been a pleasant
surprise. He has chipped in 10 points and
eight rebounds a game while bitting 7l o f
his 108 attempts.
Duke’s freshman class is its best mrf
Johnny Dawkins, Mark Alarie and Jay
Bilas joined the team in 1983, but the
transition to ACC hoops has been a tough
one. Ricky Price has suffered ankle prob
lems, Steve Wojociechowski has been er
ratic at times, and Trajan Langdon started
off slow.
The latter was the most celebrated ofthe
trio and has picked up his game of late.
Langdon had a career-high 20 points in last
week’s 74-72 loss to Maryland, including
14 straight in the second half.
With the addition of the trio to the Duke
backcourt, sophomore Jeff Capel has been
able to focus more on scoring and less on
being the floor leader. The Fayetteville
native has scored in double figures six of
the last nine games and had a career-high
28 in a 91-88 double-overtime loss to Vir
ginia at home.
And speaking of home, that’s the one
thing Duke has going for it. The Cameron
Crazies, according to acting head coach
Pete Gaudet, are still behind their boys in
blue.
“The regular student body, the kids I’ve
talked with, have talked an awful lot about
not being fair-weather, but really support
ing the team,” Gaudet said. “My experi
ence (with the fans) has been very good for
the support of the team.”
But what about Gaudet? The man has
been with Coach K for 12 years, but the
head job is a bit more stressful than associ-

nity to get back some of that national
respect wallowing in the sewers ofDurham.
No. 2 North Carolina is riding the wave of
a 10-point comeback at Wake Forest and
has looked dominant since an 80-70 loss to
N.C. State on Jan. 4.
“Our efforts are focused on North Caro
lina, obviously a steamroller right now,”
Gaudet said. “They’re playing terrific bas
ketball. Their starting five are guys who are
playing 32 minutes a game it seems. Those
are the guys we’re going to see the most.

Gama: No. 2 North Carolina (16-1,6-1) at Duke
(10-9.0-7).
Time: 9 p.m.
Location: Cameron Indoor Stadium. Durham
Radio: WCHL 1360 AM. WTRG 100.7 FM
Television: Raycom (WRAL-TV 5)
Series Record: UNC leads 114-78.
Keya for UNC: Remember who they are playing.
Duke's not the Blue Devils of old, but it has as
much talent as fa N.C. State team that gave
the Tar Heels their only loss. Also, the Tar Heels
need to pressure the ball and force Duke into
turnovers, its biggest weakness.
Keys for Duke: Get out to an early lead, or at
least don't fall behind from the outset. Duke can
win this game on emotion alone If it keeps the
fans in it throughouL The Blue Devils must
shoot consistently for all 40 minutes. They have
been a streaky team thus far.
UNC Bench: Ed Geth and Shammond Williams
have steadily increased their minutes. No one
scored off the bench in the 62-61 Wake Forest
win on the road.
Duke Bench: "Wojo" is the first off the bench and
leads the team in assists (76). Senior Kenny
Blakeney has done a good job spelling the
backcourt starters. Chris Collins who?
Prediction: UNC 92, Duke 78.
COMPILED BY JACSONG. LOWE
“They’re a very strong team, and that’s
an understatement. What makes them
strong is a lot like Maryland they’re
strong at all positions.”
Understatement is an understatement
in this case.
No starting five since the Jordan years
has been stronger. You have Jeff Mclnnis,
the point guard who can shoot (a UNC
rarity since the days of Kenny Smith) with
a better than 2:1 assist-to-tumover ratio.
The off-guard, senior Donald Williams,
who has been superb oflate on both ends of
the court he’s averaging 14.8 ppg and
has hit 37-of 92 3-pointers. Dante Calabria
has hit his share of 35... he’s leading the
nation in trey efficiency (38-61). But he’s
also shown the ability to go the hole and
cause havoc around the hoop.
Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse.
‘Nuff said.
But for all the greatness of Chapel Hill,
and all the weaknesses in Durham, this is
still UNC versus Duke. Since 1984, they
have met 25 times, and UNC has won 13.
But there is one final note.
Duke is 0-2 since this year’s Tar Heel
sophomores have arrived. One source close
to the DTH (and even closer to Hickory)
said he overheard Wallace informing Meek
that Duke would never beat UNC while
the trio is in uniform after UNC’s 87-77
win at Cameron last year.
That’s a bold statement. But this year,
North Carolina has made its share of state
ments. Tonight’s game just might be inter
esting.
