Sty? Baity (Ear Uwl Tar Heels Win War With Tigers to Halt Losing Streak ■ UNC survives a tight defensive battle to win for the first time in four ACC games. BYTODD GRAFF ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR CLEMSON, S.C. On the wall adja cent to the North Carolina bench, rising above the Clemson cheerleaders and drap ing just below its band, a sign at Littlejohn Coliseum read, “ROTCsezit’s not just a battle, it’s a war.” Men's Basketball UNC 53 Clemson 48 While the sign was removed from the wall during halftime, its implications never left, as UNC and Clemson engaged it what is becoming a perennial war at Littlejohn. It was only when Terrell Mclntyre missed a 3-point try to tie the game with 10 seconds left that Wednesday night's final battle had been waged, and UNC (17-7,8- 4 in the ACC) prevailed in the war 53-48 before a sellout crowd of 11,300. “We won a defensive battle tonight,” UNCcoachDeanSmithsaid. “Wecouldn’t score, and I thought we did a good job defensively on them.” While UNC had difficulty scoring, its defense limited Clemson (14-7,4-7) to only 16 second half points and 3 0 percent shoot ing for the game. “I think our defense in the second half was the key,” Mclnnis said. “By the end they didn’t know what to expect.” But as the tradition continues, the war extended beyond the court. For the second consecutive year, Smith spoke to a Clemson player on the floor. This year it was Bill Slumping Women to Face Rising Tigers STAFF REPORT When the North Carolina and Clemson women’s basketball teams met at Carmichael Auditorium on Jan. 14, life was grand in Chapel Hill. TheTarHeels demolished thethen-No. 23 Clemson 93-68 to assume sole com mand of the ACC race. Even without standout forward Tracy Reid, who played sparingly in that game, North Carolina managed to deal the Tigers their first loss of the season in convincing fashion.

Harder, as Smith commented on Harder’s defending Dante Calabria by tugging on his shirt. “I don’t know whattheproblemis, I really don’t,” Clemson coach Rick Barnes said. “I’ve been in this league two years now, and I’ve never talked to an oppos ing player.” But to survive any war, a team needs a leader, and UNC guard JeffMclnnisplayedleaderandscorer for UNC. He set the tempo early, knocking down his first two 3-point attempts, and he finished with eight, tying the school record held by Dante Calabria and Hubert Davis. Mclnnis ended the game with a career high 25 points, but more importantly, he controlled an offense which looked hap less without him. “Jeff took it upon himself to have a great game tonight,” UNC guard Shammond Williams said. “He knocked down some key shots, he ran the team great, and I just have to take my hat off to him, he played extremely well.” And it was Mclnnis who set up the clinching play for UNC. Holding a 4948 lead with 30 seconds remaining, Mclnnis drove to the lane, and when the defense converged, he found Shammond Williams open in the comer. For Williams, opportunities for game winning shots are overflowing lately. But he missed a chance at N.C. State and dribbled the ball out of bounds against Maryland. circumstances. Clemson has climbed up in the polls, while UNC has tumbled steadily downhill since blowing out the Tigers. North Carolina (12-10,7-5 in the ACC) is coming off a frustrating 83-70 loss at home to Virginia on Monday night, while the No. 19 Tigers (174,74) dropped a 74- 72 contest to Matyland on Saturday. The Tar Heels are now equipped with the ser vices ofßeid, who riddled the Cavaliers for 26 points. But Reid’s presence hasn’t served as a cure-all for North Carolina, which has lost four of its last five games.

UNO's SHAMMOND WILLIAMS hit two of his final three free throws to seal the win. And when Williams’ 3 from the comer fell short, it appeared another opportunity had vanished. But he was fouled on the play by Greg Buckner, and he dropped the last two of his three free throws to give UNC a three-point lead. “I’m glad,” Williams said. “It does feel good to finally knock down a shot at the end of the game.” And on Clemson’s next possession, it could not get a good shot, and the Tar Heels’ losing streak was left at three. “This is a tough place to break a losing streak,” Smith said. “So our guys ought to feel very pleased.” But the game started like the last few losses for UNC as the Tar Heels were bombarded on the boards. Clemson ran UNC off the glass for nine defensive re bounds and 20 overall in the first half— nine more than the Tar Heels. And Tony Christie drilled 3 of 4 attempts from be yond the 3-point arc. While the Tar Heels outshot Clemson 44 percent to 39 percent, they still trailed 32-30 at halftime. “Wecontrolledthegame, wecontrolled the tempo,” Bames said. “We just needed to make some more baskets in the second half.” In the second half, UNC’s defensive pressure was overwhelming, limiting Clemson to only four field goals on 21 attempts for a total of 16 points. After nailing six 3s in the opening stanza, the Tigers hit only 1 of 9 after halftime. And UNC reversed its first-half diffi culty on the boards by snatching 15 to Clemson’s 13 in the second stanza. “I thought we got stronger and limited them to one shot," Smith said. “Some times they wouldn’t get a good one. Most of the time they wouldn’t get a good one.” stint has been that in each matchup, UNC has had its chances to notch a ‘W.’ Still, Duke, Georgia and Virginia have all de nied North Carolina wins in their respec tive contests. In the Jan. 14 game, North Carolina guard Tonya Cooper emerged from rela tive obscurity to pour in 28 points in lead ing the Tar Heel charge. Cooper has been stifled since that game, but Clemson’s Stephanie Ridgeway, who lit up UNC for 25 points, has continued on her scoring tear. The senior guard averages 15.8 points and 4 rebounds per game to lead Clemson. Circuit City Stores Provides: | Travel / Vacations | SPRING BREAK '96. with only 1 week to live- DONT BLOW IT!!

The ear plugs, North Carolina’s JeffMclnnis said, were for a cold. The Tar Heel point guard said he did not insert the tiny plastic pellets to shut out the rowdy crowd at Littlejohn Coliseum on Wednesday night even though the junior from Charlotte was the designated man-target for the baseline fanatics. But the Tiger taunters might have done better to leave North Carolina’s second leading scorer alone. The jeering only seemed to incite—and excite Mclnnis more, all the way to burying a school record-tying eight 3-point ers as UNC beat Clemson 5348. “ Coach told tis ho w sweet it would be to shut them up at the end of the game,” he said. Indeed, Mclnnis was the key cause of the postgame silence. Not only did his eight treys tie the marks of Hubert Davis and senior Dante Calabria, his 25 points were a career high. “Jeffs3-pointerswereverygutsy,”UNC coach Dean Smith said. “That’s all he made, I think. He didn’t hit many others. ” Mclnnis shot 8 for 13 overall on the night, as his two 2-point attempts didn’t fall. But while Mclnnis was the main go-to man on the scoreboard, he was the rallying man on the floor. He kept his team inspired in the huddle and calm on the court. “He kept eveiybody motivated, he kept theteam undercontrol,” sophomore guard Shammond Williams said. Especially in put-up-or-shut-up times, i.e., the closing moments of the win. In games past, the Tar Heels had been known to rash shots or take too long to find a Pair of UVa.

But although Clemson did force two shot dock violations late in the second half, Mclnnis didn’t let it antagonize his team. “I just tried to take over and be a leader, and just let them know that we’re not going to get a loss like that, by not getting shots,” he said. He was such an emotional leader that few of his teammates in the locker room knew he was the new trey leader. “Eight—he hit eight?” Calabria asked. “He came out firing and hitting. When a guy’s hitting like that, feed him the rock. I knew he played well I didn’t know he had eight 3s, though.” He opened the game by whisking two straight treys from the same spot, which led to the crowd making him the desig nated taunt-man for the evening. But he took it all in stride. They insulted his family, he barely spared a glance. They insulted his coaches, his head gave a little shake. They insulted him, he looked up and laughed. Then, he put in his ear plugs because he was cold. Bring it on. “I like to have fun when I play the game,” he said. “I take it seriously, but I still like to smile and have fun on the court.” Six treys plus a free throw later, he was having even more fun walking off the court —with a personal record and a team win. “Yeah, they were talking, and I was just telling them, ‘Get a little louder.
