Slfp Baily OJar MM 'Pack's Hot Shooting Burns UNC By Evan Markeield Assistant Sports Editor RALEIGH Winning a basketball game is a lot easier when you can’t miss. That much became apparent when N.C.

State ... .87 Carolina in front of 7,741 fans at Reynolds Coliseum. The Wolfpack (8-5,2-2 in the ACC) shot better than 70 percent on its sec ond-half field goal attempts and ran away from a Tar Heel team whose Watered Down by Brad Christensen Wflewi 1 AH GLAb TH VWM CU¥&£6 A AMD 6M "PAW V oMe MAIL'S CLASSES.

State offense, on the other hand, had a gameplan -and it most certainly revolved around 6-foot-6 center Summer Erb. “We made a slight adjustment at halftime to get the ball to Summer more, UNC guard/forward Chanel Wright tied for the team lead with 14 points in Thursday's loss and they did that,” N.C.

The junior was limited to nine points in the half - she averages almost 23 per game - on 3- of-8 shooting from the floor. Early in the second half, the UNC defense continued to harass the Wolfpack center. Asa pass headed toward Erb in the low post, three Tar Heel defenders swooped down on her and forced a jump ball. On State’s ensuing inbound UNC center Yanick Clay swatted away a pass intended for Erb and repeated that per formance seconds later as the Wolfpack tried to pound it down low once more. But eventually, the much larger Erb would have her way. (C)1999 Tribune Media Services. Inc.

Erb finished with 24 points to lead a balanced scoring attack that she made possible by kicking the ball back out to Wolfpack players on the perimeter when double-teams descended on her in the post. And while State couldn’t seem to miss, the Tar Heels offense, which has used a run-and-gun style in averaging 86.9 points per game, was gridlocked by a variety of defensive schemes Yow pre sented. The Tar Heels managed to get open looks throughout the game but couldn’t find their touch, shooting 40 percent from the field. “We probably should have worked it for a little better shots,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “It’s hard not to take it when you’re open.” Having Erb patrolling the paint did n’t help UNC either. The Tar Heels had minimal inside presence against the Wolfpack powerhouse, which resulted in an inability to find their way to the charity stripe. North Carolina was 6 of 11 from the line, with all of those shots coming in the second half. Hatchell said, “It’s hard to believe the No. 6 team in the country goes an entire half without a foul shot.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. Wolfpack's Physical Defensive Play Slows Down Fast-Breaking Tar Heels By Hugh Pressley Assistant Sports Editor RALEIGH - Prior to Thursday night’s game against N.C. State, the North Carolina women’s basketball team had seen more defenses thrown at it from foes than most football teams - everything from man-to-man to zones resembling nickel and dime packages. And barring an 86-68 loss to UCLA back on Nov. 28 - the Tar Heels’ lone loss coming into Thursday’s contest - they’ve always found a way to make their opponents’ defenders look defenseless - to the tune of 86.9 points per game. But N.C. State coach Kay Yow had a simple, yet effective strategy for stop ping UNC’s up-tempo offense -a pre vent defense. And after the Wolfpack held the Tar Heels to only 70 points and just 16 percent three-point shooting en route to a 87-70 rout, Yow became fitting of anew tide - defensive coordinator. “We used about five different defens es tonight, and we didn’t feel like we could go against (UNC) with just one defense - not even two,” Yow said. Besides combatting UNC’s run-and gun offense with a plethora of zone and man defenses, State kept the Tar Heels from utilizing their trademark fast-break game by concentrating on defensive balance rather than crashing the offen sive glass. The ’Pack also made sure to put a man on UNC guard Nikki Teasley to stop the oudet pass. 50 jj 2000 eopiei 5’ 2 C if over M 1000 copies 6v if over ■■ ■ 200 copies M Good on plain wtite qb )q 8 1/2xll self serve ~ - and autoload copies. 200 COpiOS C.O.

State in UNC's 87-70 road loss Thursday night. The plan worked. “The first thing that we worked on in preparation for this game was stop tran sition,” Yow said. “Maybe we can’t stop it every time, but we know if you give up a lot of easy baskets to great teams, you don’t have a good chance of beat ing them.” Asa result, the Tar Heels’ run-and gun offense was chopped in half, as UNC simply gunned. Poor shot selec tion from the Tar Heels’ perimeter play ers helped the Wolfpack’s physical combo of 6-foot-6 center Summer Erb and 6-1 reserve forward Talisha Scates shut down the paint. Teasley, who came into the game averaging 39 percent from three-point land in ACC competition and 32 per cent overall, shot just 2 of 7 from behind the arc in the loss. Meanwhile, UNC forward LaQuanda Barksdale failed to get decent shots inside and made only three of her 13 attempts from the field, finish ing with seven points. “The key was they were making their shots so they could set their defense,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “We’ve just got to get a little smarter (on offense).” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. >TAQU E R I A / A1 gafo Lc Gosfa/ * * M $ * * * HoT £oo 4 y cool caf s/ 711 W.
