8 Monday, February 5,1996 SPOROTIEFS Men's Tennis Rescheduled The men’s tennis matches scheduled last Friday and Sunday have been resched uled because of inclement weather. The Tar Heels will play Davidson Davidson on Tuesday and will match up with UNC-Charlotte on Thursday, Feb. 22. Both matches will be played at Cone- Kenfield Tennis Center. Taylor Wins at Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Two hours into the 34th running of the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona International Speed way, Wayne Taylor had a pretty good idea of how close it was going to be. Twenty-two hours later, celebrating a win in the closest finish in the history of America’s premier endurance race, Taylor said, “When I got out of the car after the opening stint, I told my wife, It’s going to be pure hell.’ I was right.” As tough as it was, though, the South African driver, who now makes his home in nearby Altamonte Springs, Fla., drove a Oldsmobile Mark HI in concert with Ameri cans Scott Sharp and Jim Pace to the vic tory over a Ferrari 3335 P World Sports Car rival. Max Papis, a Ferrari Formula One test driver in his first appearance at Daytona, gave it a brave effort Sunday in the final two hours, making up a four-lap deficit and twice passing Taylor to get back on the lead lap. However, Papos was forced to pit for fuel and tires with about IS minutes re maining, ending any chance of catching the debuting Riley & Scott Mark ID chassis powered by an Aurora V-8 Oldsmobile engine. It was the first all American-made over all winner in the event. Taylor, the 1994 International Motor Sports Association Exxon WSC champion, drove across the finish line just 1-minute, 5.518 seconds ahead of the Ferrari. The second-place car was shared by pole-winner Didier Theys of Belgium, team-owner Gianpiero Moretti and Papis, both of Italy, and Bob Wollek, a four-time Daytona winner from France. The finish was closer than the 1:26 mar gin by which a Porsche 962 Prototype, shared by Wollek, Derek Bell of England and American John Andretti won in 1989. “The last 35 minutes we had a fuel pressure problem,” Taylor said. “Whoever was in their car at that point was very, very quick. One more caution (flag) and it would have been their race.” FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Had Mono Recently?

The loss was, perhaps, inevitable. “I think we believed the hype a little bit, all the talk of the comebacks, and we came out flat this game like the Wake game, like the Duke game —and it showed, we couldn’tcomeback,”TarHeelpoint guard JeffMclnnis said. “We’ve just gotta come out and play hard the first 20 minutes, and see what happens then.” Indeed, the Tar Heels have made a habit of digging double digit holes in the first stanza, then trying to fill them in later. Against Wake, UNC’s 18-point grave was buried via a 23-point, 14-board perfor mance from Jamison; against Duke, Calabria’s shot was heightened by the 35- point, 22-board play of Jamison, Vince Carter and Ademola Okulaja. But against the Wolfjpack, waiting to rally inmedthem. The Tar Heels were lacka daisical in the first half, shooting an unrea sonable 36 percent from the field while allowing State to can more than 47 percent of its trey attempts. State had as many offensive boards as the Tar Heels had total rebounds (15) in that stanza, as UNC seem ingly waited for the second half to rally. “I don’t know what our problem is in the first half,” Calabria said. “I just don’t know.” With all the emotion, excitement and attention that these comebacks have garnered, the rallies have literally worn down the Tar Heels. After the win against Duke, Mclnnis admitted that he was tired, and Jamison was held to nary a field goal in the first stanza Saturday. No wonder UNC’s first halves have been uninspired—they’re still recovering from the last game’s rally. And that’s what opened the gateway for State. “(This loss) might help us, but I don’t like to lose, no matter what,” Mclnnis said. “Hopefully this will show some of the younger guys and the older guys that the time is now... that we’ve gotta come out with that fire to win it.” Final Rounds of Pebble Beach Pro-Am Canceled TOE ASSOCIATED PRESS PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. ln Scot land it would have been a nice day. In the home of golf they’d play in weather like this because it might be as good as it gets. And on all but one of the 54 holes of the three courses used for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am they could have playedgolfonSunday. But that one flooded hole was enough to wash out the tourna ment entirely. For the second consecutive day play was called off because of wet grounds and this time it ended the tournament. With only 36 holes finished and the players not having completed the three course rotation, the tournament was not official. It doesn’t count on the money list, for Ryder Cup points or as a qualifier for the Masters. It was the first time since the 1949 Colo nial National Invitational in Fort Worth, H V 4 ' ""ilf ....

MEN'S BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 14 Trailingss-36with 14:35 remaining, UNC scored 17 of 20 points over the next three and a half minutes, leavingitselffivepoints back with 10 minutes to play. Antawn Jamison, who missed on both of his attempts in the first half, sparked the run with nine points. Shielded for most of the game, Jamison found the glass for three of his four offen sive rebounds during the stretch and con verted all three for baskets. Calabria and Williams closed out the run with consecu tive 3-pointers. “We knew they would make a run, and they certainly did,” Fuller said. “They re ally fought and scrapped. We did all we could to contain that beast in the cage.” State settled down after the spurt, and for the next eight minutes its lead rested between three and eight points. With three min utes left and trailing 74-66, the Tar Heels launched their last offensive. Jamison and Jeff Mclnnis converted four free throws, Serge Zwikker connected on his second bucket of the evening, and Jamison converted m ANTAWN JAMISON scored 16 second-half points Saturday. his fourth offensive rebound to cut the lead to 76-75. After Fuller converted two free throws, 10 seconds remained for the Tar Heels. Mclnnis brought the ball up the court, and when he was trapped, he dished to Calabria behind the arc. “We were right there,” Calabria said. “The game was on the line, and we were right there to win the game.” But the defense collapsed on Calabria, leaving Williams open in the comer. Wil liams had hit two of his five 3-point at tempts , but as the buzzer sounded, his shot bounced off the side of the rim. "... I ran to the comer and caught the basketball,” Williams said. “And by that time (C.C.) Harrison and Ishua Benjamin and Todd Fuller, they were all there ... there were onlyafew seconds left, andlgot the shot off, but I rushed it a little bit and it didn’t go in.” State opened the game scoring 12 of its first 14 points from beyond the arc.

We moved the ball well, went inside, and shot the ball well.” The teams traded baskets, then with State holding an 18-16 lead, UNC chilled. The Tar Heels scored only two points over the next seven minutes, and State opened the lead to 18 points. State scored 15 of its last 21 first half points from 3-point land to take a 43-27 lead into halftime. TheWolfpack scored as many first-half points on 3’s as North Carolina combined to score. “We tried to foiget about the first half and just come back and try to play Caro lina basketball the second half,” Williams said. “Butby the timewe tried to get back, the game was over.” lit .l.t.
