Sty* Sailg Sar life! UNC’s 3 Heads Better Tlian Hoyas’ 1 BYJACSONLOWE SENIOR WRITER BIRMINGHAM, Ala. When it was all over, North Carolina proved that a backcourt by committee beats a one-man team every time. None of the three had an outstanding game, but UNC’s Jeff Mclnnis, Donald Williams and Dante Calabria all contrib utedgreatlytotheTar Heels’ 74-64 NCAA regional semifinal victory over Georgetown Thursday night at the Birmingham- Jefferson Civic Center. Meanwhile, Allen Iverson, the Big East Freshman of the Year, was trying in vain to keep his team’s upset hopes alive. He fin ished with a game-high 24 points, but he took 20 attempts from the field, and not one of those fell in the first half That’s where Mclnnis, the first member of the triumphant triumvirate, comes in. “We just wanted Jeff to stay in front of him, make (Iverson) shoot the jump shot because he’s not a great jump shooter, he’s a great scorer, ” Calabria said. “We knew if we made him shoot jumpers, then when it MEN'S BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1 Thompson. “We couldn’t use any junk defenses, we couldn’t collapse down on them, because they were hitting their 35.” Georgetown struggled back, thanks to the inside work of Othella Harrington he was 6of 13 with 14 points in the first half —and a stretch where the Hoyas held the Tar Heels scoreless for 4:27 in the second half “He got a couple of shots off and made a couple of baskets, and the momentum swing wasgoingGeorgetown’sway,”UNC center Rasheed Wallace said. In the second half, the Tar Heels’ de fense focused on Harrington and limited him to four points.

The Hoyas’ leading scorer went oof6 in the first half and managed only three points from the line. “I took the chal lenge to go out and guard Iverson and to break their press,” Mclnnis said. “He’s a great, quick guard, and his team is look ing to get it to him every time. He was going, we were trying to get a stop, and I didn’t want to get in a one-on-one battle with him, so my team helped a lot, and I think we did a good job of that.” However, in the second half, the fresh man phenom took over, as he has done so many times this year. He hit his first bucket half and did the same sort of damage that Harrington had done for Georgetown. Wallace ended the game with 22 points— -20 of them in the second half. But it wasn’t just Wallace’s scoring. It was the way he scored, too. His dunks off North Carolina misses hurt the Hoyas. He also hurt Georgetown when he caught the ball in the post, where he couldn’t miss in the final 20 minutes. Literally. Wallace was 9 of 9 from the field in the second half. “In the second half, in key situations of the game, he made some thunderous dunks that excited the fans, and I think it took the fans out of the game as we were coming back,” Hoya guard John Jacques said. As the Tar Heels moved inside in the second half, the Hoyas looked for the out side shot when the UNC defense collapsed on the Georgetown big men. That strategy played right into North Carolina’s hands. The Hoyas are an abys mal outside shooting team, hitting only 28.8 percent from 3-point land. “I think we set out to expose their lack ofoutside shooting,’’said UNChead coach Dean Smith. “That’s easier to play that way. I think it was hard for Harrington with three or four hanging around him.” TheTarHeels’ defensive emphasis gave Georgetown’s star freshman guard Allen Iverson more room to operate. He did some damage both from the outside and in the open court. Iverson scored 21 of his 24 points in the second half. “I thought the second half, probably, was the best offensive half he’s had in the tournament,” Thompson said. But Iverson had another advantage in the second half. UNC point guard Jeff Mclnnis pulled his groin slightly, which hindered him in guarding Iverson. “Jeff Mclnnis, I thought, did an excel lent job on Iverson in the first half,” Smith said. “He really had a groin pull, and we shouldn’t have probably played him in the second half but did.” Mclnnis is expected to play Saturday when the Tar Heels take on the Wildcats. The winner of that game will head to the Final Four in Seattle next weekend. North Carolina came into the game 19- 0 this season when it hit the magical mark of 50 percent from the field. But it was just 7-5 when it didn’t. The Tar Heels only shot 45.8 percent vs. the Hoyas, but it was enough to counter Georgetown’s 33.3 percent.

It was too little, too late though, because the other members of UNC’s trio had done their job in the first half. Calabria finished thefirst half with eight points on 3-of-3 shooting. Williams added 13 in the first 20 minutes, and the duo’s sharpshooting keyed UNC’s 23-7 run to begin the game. “I think when we did come out pretty hot, it gave us a lot of confidence that we could come out and win the game,” Calabria said. “We knew they were going to come out and pressure the ball, but to come out and get a lot ofpoints right off the bat was a big plus for us.” Defeating Georgetown’s vicious full court press was where UNC’s backcourt was at its best. The Hoyas forced 21 turn overs a game on the season, but North Carolina finished Thursday with only 12. “They press 40 minutes, ” Mclnnis said. “We did a great job ofbeating it. In the first half, Coach (Dean Smith) told us when we beat it, don’t just stop, keep on going through and try to score, and that’s what UCLA Grinds Mississippi State; Wolfpack Women Fall to UGa. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. Ed O’Bannon swished rainbow jumpers from the edges of the court, Tyus Edney spun acrobati cally through the middle, and UCLA’s mugging defense put the final touches on an 86-67 romp Thursday night over out classed Mississippi State. O’Bannon’s 21 points led the No. 1 Bruins (28-2) to their 16th straight victory and put them into the NCAA West Re gional final Saturday —one win away fromtheirfirstFinalFour appearance since 1980. Georgia 91, NX. State 79 DES MOINES, lowa —Georgia moved to within one victory of its first final four trip in 10 years, beating N.C State 98-79 in the NCAA Midwest Regional semifinals Thursday night behind the second-half scor ing of La’Keshia Frett and Tracy Henderson. Frett scored 18 of her 28 points in the second half, and Henderson had 17 of her 21 in the final period as the 12th-ranked Lady Bulldogs (27-4) advanced to Satur day night’s regional championship game. Virginia 63, Louisiana Tech 62 STORRS, Conn.—Tora Suber’s layup with 3.7 seconds remaining lifted Virginia over Louisiana Tech on Thursday night in the semifinals ofthe NCAA East Regional. The third-seeded Cavaliers will play top seed Connecticut Saturday for a berth in the final four. Suber’s basket capped an uphill struggle for UVa., which traded much of the game. Tens Tech 67, Washington 52 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Tabitha Truesdale scored 18 points as Texas Tech dominated Washington on both ends of the court for a 67-52 victory Thursday in the NCAA Mideast Regional semifinals.

Mclnnis was un able to hit a 3-pointer in five attempts, but Calabria and Williams picked up the slack, nailing a combined 6 of 13. “We hit a lot of 3s right in the beginning, and in the second half, they chose to come out and make sure that we didn’t get the open 35,” Calabria said. “When you leave Rasheed (Wallace) in there one-on-one, he’s capable of of dominating the game.” Indeed he did. While Iverson was scram bling inside the paint looking for his own shot in the second half, UNC’s backcourt was distributing and dishing to the big man inside. The 6-foot-10 sophomore tallied 20 of his team-high 22 in the second stanza. The trio didn’t score as much, but they gave the ball up seven times in the last 20 minutes for Tar Heel baskets. “Earlier, I think we were getting shots we wanted and getting good looks,” Will iams said. “In the second half, we started moving the ball better and made Georgetown work to get it.” Hen's NCAA Schedule East Regional Today: Wake Forest vs. Oklahoma State, 7:40 p.m.: Tulsa vs. Massachusetts, 30 minutes after Sunday: Regional championship, 2:40 p.m. Midwest Regional Today: Memphis vs. Arkansas. 8 p.m.; Kansas vs. Virginia, 30 minutes after Sunday: Regional championship, 5 p.m. West Regional Saturday: Regional championship.
