LEXINGTON, Ky. The Univer
sity of Kentucky has scheduled a news
conference Monday to announce anew

News reports have speculated for
weeks that the job will be given to Hal
Mumme, coach of Division II Valdosta
State. The Louisville Courier-Journal re
ported Sunday that Mumme told four
players after his team’s 24-19 loss to
Carson-Newman on Saturday that he
was leaving to become the Kentucky
coach.
Also present at Saturday’s game in
Jefferson City, Tenn., was Larry Ivy,
Kentucky’s senior associate director of
athletics.
Xvy declined to say why he was at the
game. Mumme also refused to talk about
whether he had accepted the Kentucky
job l .
Kentucky fired Bill Curry on Oct. 21,
when the team was 1-6. The Wildcats
finished the season with a 4-7 record,
including a 3-5 mark in the Southeastern
Conference. Curry finished his seven
year career at Kentucky with a 26-52
record.

Reid eases into lineup as Tar Heels rip ETSU
■ Tracy Reid and Chanel
Wright played together for
the first time this season.
BYROBBIPICKERAL
SPORTS EDITOR
She returned quietly, a mere sub within
a rotation ofher Tar Heel teammates, but
her impact was instantaneous.
After serving a two-game suspension
for violating team rules to begin the bas
ketball season, North Carolina forward
Tracy Reid finally stepped back onto the
Carmichael Auditorium court Saturday
with all of the slash and flash that made
her a first-team All-ACC selection last
season.
She was neither the leading scorer nor
rebounder in
No.23UNC’s
(3-0) 97-56
rout of East
Women's Basketball
ETSU 56
UNC 97
Tennessee State (2-2), but her presence
went beyond her 27-point, six-board per
formance in front of a crowd of 894. She
was the missing piece of a speedy trium
virate expected to lead the Tar Heels this
season.
“I’m so excited because we’ve got our
whole teamback, ” said sophomore guard
Chanel Wright, last season’s ACC Rookie
ofthe Year. “Iknow(Tracy)wasanxious
to play, and I’m happy she came out and
had a good game. She’s such a good
player, and I’m glad she did well.”
Saturday marked the first time Wright
took the floor with both Reid and junior
point guard Marion Jones, who redshirted
last season to train for the Olympics in
track. The three had played together in
practice, whetting everyone’s lips for the
speed, size and strength that the trio
would form. But perhaps no one ex
pected the instant fluidity that hit the
frontcourt as soon as the trio hit the floor.
“I was waiting for that connection, to
see how things would go,” Reid said. “I
think they worked out pretty good for
us.”
‘Pretty good’ (with a smile) is a slight
understatement. Reid played just 21 min
utes Saturday, but her presence was felt
the instant she hit the floor. With the
attack on offense and grit on ‘D’ that has
become her trademark, the junior en
tered the game for Nicole Walker at the
15:42 mark and played with the ven
geance of an athlete trying to find her
rhythm. She missed her first shot but
found her stride with a layin a minute
0
l 1
later, and she never
looked back.
“At first I was a
little rusty there,”
she said. “...But as
things went along,
I felt myself getting
backintherhythm.
I felt confident in
getting back out
there on the floor.”
While Reid was
finding her beat,
Wright and Jones
were continuing
theirs.
UNC forward
TRACY REID served a
two-game suspension
for violating team
rules.
In UNC’s last game against Radford,
Wright posted a career-high 30 points.
Saturday, with a fluid combination of
soft finger rolls, strong layups and lofty
3s, she matched that total.
“She had some big-time moves and
some big-time shots,” UNCcoach Sylvia
Hatchell said. “And we’re not talking
aboutalotoflayups. She had some really
nice moves."
Jones (13 points, five rebounds) did
what she does best—ran the floor, found
her teammates and intimidated her op
ponents into giving up the ball.
“There’s so much quickness, and that
really affected us, ” said Lady Bucs coach
Karen Kemp.
Size and depth didn’t hurt, either.
UNC came out of the gates early, as
Jones got ahold of the ball on one end of
the court and fed Wright on the other.
East T ennessee State stayed within single
digits for the first lOminutes ofthe game,
but with Wright, Jones and Reid in the
lineup together, the trio formed a formi
dable tower on the perimeter that the
Lady Bucs’ smaller lineup had trouble
penetrating.
“That’s a pretty good perimeter game,
when you’re averaging about 6-feet,”
Hatchell said. “And when you can spread
out and see your quickness, that makes
any offense tough.”
UNC only extended its dominance to
open the second half, upping a 20-point
lead to 30 in the first 10 minutes.

there is, ‘They’re not going to do that to
me next time,’” said Lady Buc guard
Christina Ervin. “And then they do it.
But it’s a big challenge.”
All of UNC’s available players got at
least 11 minutes on the court, as Hatchell
said she was trying to solidify her lineup
before ACC play begins in January.
Sophomore guard Jessica Gaspar posted
a team-high seven assists, and center
Sheneika Walker had another strong
game in the paint with 10 points and
eight boards.
Still, Wright, Reid and Jones were the
stars of the game, as Kemp expects they
will be for the remainder of the season.
“Those three are the definition of
quick,” she said. “And strong.”
UNC face* Mt. Saint Mary's tonight
TheTarHeels will rely on that combi
nation of quickness and strength again
tonight when they meet Mount Saint
Mary’s in Carmichael Auditorium at 5
p.m. The contestshould offer UNCmore
opportunity to experiment.
But Mount Saint Mary’s may put up a
greater fight than the lesser foes the Tar
Heels have trounced to date.
“They’ve been in the NCAAs basi
cally every year,” Hatchell said. “They
can play with about anybody. They’ve
upset a lot of people. They beat Radford
pretty good a couple of weeks ago, you
know, somebody we’ve both played, but
they beat them between 25 and 30 points.
So they’re a good team.”
