UNC an 81-73 lead.
But Cota saved his best for last when
he stared down Wojciechowski, worked
into the lane and suddenly bounced a
beautiful drop-down pass to Brendan
Haywood for a three-point play.
“I think Ed’s always been a scorer,”
said Vince Carter, who nearly hooked
up with Cota for
an off-glass alley
oop with the game
well in hand.
“When he gets in
the lane, he’s
always capable of
scoring.
“Maybe (Duke)
overlooked that.”

nation,” said Williams, who broke down
Langdon late in the game as Cota did
Wojciechowski and finished with 17
points. “We like to show that we’re able
to create. We like to show that we can
handle.”
The contest wasn’t supposed to con
clude with a clinic on UNC penetration.
Wojciechowski said earlier in the week
that he wanted to distract Cota, to make
it hard for him to see, never mind pass to
his teammates. Cota did commit a sea
son-high eight turnovers against the
guard’s defense, but Wojciechowski
acknowledged he’d been outplayed.
“He’s an outstanding player,” he said
flatly. “He does a great job of seeing the
court, penetrating and delivering the
ball. I don’t think I rattled him.”
Perhaps not, but with his constant
harassment of Cota up and down the
court, along with that of Langdon on
Williams, Duke forced the UNC guards’
hand at taking over the game down the
stretch. Cota beat Wojciechowski with
crossover dribbles and quick stops and
starts. Langdon overplayed Williams,
and Williams made him pay.
“They’re old and they’re good,”
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of
the UNC backcourt that scorched his
team for 29 points and 17 assists.
“They’re old together, and that’s one of
the things missing in college basketball.
“They’ve seen pressure before.”

saying, ‘I hate this lottery. Bring back
the campout.’ This year you have stu
dents saying, ‘I hate this campout Bring
back the lottery.’”
Nearly 2,000 people lined up for tick
ets for the UNC-Duke University game
campout Jan. 23. At one point, die line
of students stretched to Odum Village.
Tickets were distributed eariy, and they
ran out early, forcing ticket officials to
hand out tickets for a different game.
More than six hours after the distribu
tion began, hundreds of students were
turned away empty-handed.
In some respects, problems that have
plagued this year’s ticket distribution
come down to basic supply and demand
way too much demand.
In an arena that seats 21,572 fans,
fewer than 6,000 seats are available to
CAA for distribution, CAA ticket dis
tribution co-director Amy Whaley said.
Whaley said a direct correlation
existed between the success of the men’s
basketball program and ticket demand.
In the past, campouts were easier to
control because fewer students camped
out. “Now, we have 1,400 people come
in the first hour,” Whaley said.
“You can’t enforce a line of 3,000
students.”
Valenti said camping out was not
safe. “We really
don’t have the
facilities to run a
campout. That
road is so unsafe.”
Whaley also
said camping out
was not the safest
means of distribu
tion but that the
CAA was a stu
dent group that
had to be respon
sive to the wants
of its constituents.
“It’s a pain. It’s
a pain for the peo
ple who are run
ning it,” she said.
Vice Chancellor for
Student Affairs
SUSAN KITCHEN
said she did not
support making
distribution an
administrative policy.
“It’s just not a very safe policy, but it’s
what the students like.”
Heather Schafer, a senior from
Greensboro, said she had been in both
a lottery line and a tent.
“I don’t know if the campout idea is
wonderful or not because I don’t see
what it accomplishes," she said.
“But then I have been in the lottery
lines, and I didn’t like it.”
Although the lottery system was eas
ier to police, Whaley said it was not nec
essarily the answer to problems.
“There’s really no best way to do it,
especially when you are going to have
two or three thousand students come
out for tickets.
“For a school this size, I really don’t
know what would be the perfect alter-

■Despite the problems, both sets of
candidates for CAA co-presidents have
included campouts in their platforms.
David Cohn and Hunter McCrossin
have said they would not “drastically
alter a campout system from years past”
Cohn and McCrossin plan to hand
out numbers on the Friday morning of a
campout and not require students to line
up until 6 p.m. that day.
Cohn and McCrossin did not return
phone calls Thursday.
“The campout is traditional and fun,
and it benefits the real fans who are will
to put out extra effort,” Cohn said in a
previous interview.
Jeff Pierce and Jeff Stencel also plan
to keep campout distribution, but
Stencel said students needed more
input.
“People seem to want campouts,”
Stencel said. “They just want to have it
more organized. I guess the communi
cation has never been there.
Communication is the thing I think this
last administration has been lacking. I
don’t think the organization has been
very good.”
At some schools the athletic depart
ments set the distribution policy, and
student government enforces it.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
Susan Kitchen, who approved this year’s
distribution policy, said that although
the campout policy could use some
revising, she did not support making it

an administrative policy.
“I think that one of the things that is
unique about Carolina is the decision
making role that students play. I would
hate to give that up. I would hate to see
this be an administrative policy.”
This year was Kitchen’s first time
dealing with ticket distribution.
She said that all involved worked
hard to make distribution successful.
“We step into a problem each time,
and you correct that and create another
difficulty,” she said.
Kitchen suggested the administration
devise a set of principles, rather than
rules, that the CAA could consider
when deciding on anew policy.
Whoever is elected, Whaley said
experience had taught her that early
communication between the co-presi
dents and administrators was key.
“Just think worst case scenario,” she
said. “You need to go ahead and plan
for it now.

Cota scored four more points on free
throws and a left-handed layup. UNC
led 87-73 then, and Duke would man
age only one point in the final 3:07.
The Tar Heels played out the remain
ing minutes exuberantly, casting layups
and dunks at the Devils as UNC stu
dents prepared to storm the court.
“Why not show a little emotion, have
a little fan?” said Carter, who finished
with 17 points. “You want to be busi
nesslike, but you want to have fun at the
same time. This is a college basketball
game. This isn’t a job yet.”
