2% Sails sar ltd DUKE FROM PAGE 1 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?

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.

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. © 1995 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

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. Looking for Front-Row Seats to Duke-UNC? Come to the ... Was??
