Other Tar Heels who placed in the event were: Greg DiDonna (220), Rob Bradley (224), Mark Wilson (227) and Don Hill (235).

The NBA champions will also give Port land a conditional 1995 first-round draft pick and the rights to 1993 second-round draft pick Marcelo Nicola.

With 34.2 seconds remaining and the score tied at 73, Jones drove to the outside and pulled up just behind the basket to give UNC its winning points in the 77-73 vic tory. She scored a game-high 23 points at Littlejohn Coliseum and earned both plau dits and a Diet Coke from Lady Tiger coach Jim Davis. “Last year, she was a great athlete,” Davis said Jan. 14. “This year, she’s a full fledged player.” And when the No. 9 Tar Heels (23-3,9- 3 in the ACC) tip off against the Lady Tigers (17-6,7-4) at 7 tonight in Carmichael Auditorium, Jones may need to play leader again. Charlotte Smith, who took home two ESPY awards Monday night, leads UNC in both points (18.7) and rebounds (10.3), but has consistently had trouble against Clemson throughout her career. The Ti gers held the senior forward to just 15 points and seven boards in their last meet ing, and she fouled out with just over two minutes left in the game. In eight career games against Clemson, Smith has aver aged just 10.4 points and 5.9 rebounds. But UNC is coming off a huge victory and should be rested for a classic Clemson war. Saturday, the Tar Heel seniors earned their 100th victory in the 84-47 whomping of nonconference George Mason. Senior Stephanie Lawrence, who became the all time UNC leader in 3-pointers made on Feb. 8, connected on 5-of-10 treys and Wildcats, Hair Gel, General Top List of Sports Fashion Woes When I first proposed this article on sports fashion, my fellow desk ur chins said, “Yeah right. An article on sports fashion. win you a lot of journalistic integrity.” Ha ha ha. Who gives a dam? I don’t because I don’t plan on being a journalist. So I’ll be counting my six-figure salary while they babble about integrity. I think sports fashion is a viable issue. Athletes are very visible. Owners pay them millions to swing a bat, throw a pigskin or thrust a rubber sphere through some nylon threads. What they wear is an instrumen tal aspect of their spotlight. So, using my remarkable fashion sense and sports wisdom, I chose the five most fashionable personalities in the NCAA. (I limited it to college because I could write volumes on the hideousness of the Cleve land Cavaliers’ uniforms.) .First, the the five least fashionable: 1.

Smith, who canned a 3-point shot with 0.7 seconds left to win the national title, won the College Basketball Divi sion I Women’s Player of the Year and a Video Award for the Outstanding Col lege Basketball Play of the Year award. “I just want to thank my teammates, because without them I couldn’t have done it,” Smith said Tuesday. “It lets everybody know that we’re for real, and we are a national championship team.” Smith said she was concerned that the other two plays up for the Play of the Year award were by men’s basketball scored 17 points against the Patriots. For Clemson, look for guard Stephanie Ridgeway (18 points, 5 boards in the last game) and forward Tara Saunooke (10 points, six boards) to lead the Lady Tigers. Saunooke, the ACC’s top 3-point shooter, missed all three of her trifecta attempts in the first meeting. The Lady Tigers have won their last three games—including a 78-64 thrashing of No. 14 Duke Feb. 1. UNC has won its last six meetings against Clemson, but those six victories were by an average of only 3.8 points per game. Mr. Armani dressing his players in those backgammon board shorts. 2.
