game searching
for a groove it

The N.C. State
offense, on the
other hand, had a
gameplan -and it
most certainly
revolved around
6-foot-6 center
Summer Erb.
“We made a

and they did that,” N.C. State coach Kay

Erb spent the first half frustrated by
poor shooting and strong defense from
North Carolina (17-2, 4-1). 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.

Clay fouled out with 12:44 remaining
in the game, taking a valuable body out
of the middle for the Tar Heels.
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.”

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.

North Carolina forward Jackie Higgins pulls down a rebound against
N.C. 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).”
