(Itjp Srnly (Tar HM Tar Heels Scalp Seminoles, Bv Will Kimmev Assistant Sports Editor North Carolina finally did it. After struggling with its shooting and its confidence since Nikki Teasley left the team, UNC finally got its first win without its starting point guard. The Tar Heels rallied from a nine- point first-half deficit Thursday night to defeat Florida State 77-67 in Women’s Basketball Florida State 67 UNC 77 front of 1,128 at Carmichael Auditorium. “It was a relief,” UNC forward LaQuanda Barksdale said. “When you lose five in a row, it’s going to be a relief when you finally win.” UNC got back into the win column largely because Barksdale and guard Juana Brown regained their scoring touch. Brown, who scored 17 points, drilled a pair of key 3-pointers down the stretch. With 2:50 remaining in the game and the score knotted at 61, Brown hit a triple from the left wing to give UNC a three-point edge. Less than a minute later, Brown caught the ball in the same spot on the floor, turned around and knocked down a trey with FSU’s latavia Coleman in her face. That put the Tar Heels up 69-63. “1 wasn’t thinking that I had to make them or anything,” Brown said. “I just wanted to have fun. 1 haven’t smiled in a long time out there on the court.” The game started to get fun for UNC with 13:11 left in the second half. With the Seminoles up 11 -39, FSU’s Angela Sutton was whistled for a reach-in foul while guarding Barksdale near the right elbow. Upset with herself for committing the foul, Sutton smacked the floor. She was whistled for a technical foul for the out burst. The T’ counted as Sutton’s fifth foul, and FSU (8-8, 1-5 in the ACC) lost its starting two-guard. Barksdale calmly sank both free throws to tie the game, and the Tar Heels (10-7, 2-5) never trailed again. Barksdale hit all eight of her free throw' attempts on the evening and finished with a team-leading 19 points. Throughout the game, UNC played with a renewed sense of confidence and looked as if it enjoyed playing basket ball for the first time during Teasley’s absence. The Far Heels were especially confident in their shooting, hitting bet ter than 50 percent of their field goals for the first time since Dec. 5. “Usually the offense will come if you just concentrate a lot on defense," UNC 7:10. 9:30, weekends 2:10, 4:30 7:00, 9:20, weekends 2:00, 4:20 9:15, weekends 4:15 AMERICAN MOVIE 7:20, weekends 2:20 STOAPrrlittle^ .

Thursday night against Florida State, she found two: freshmen Cherie Lea and Coretta Brown. In only her second career start, Lea produced nine points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field and led the team with five assists in UNC’s 77-67 victory. “That’s pretty good considering she wasn’t a point guard,” Hatchell said. “She is now, though.” Even with her inexperience at point guard, Lea committed only two turnovers. “We came in with the attitude to get the job done, work hard, come out strong and make simple plays,” Lea THE LOWDOWN ON SATURDAY'S GAME (|J\ BRENDAN HAYWOOD, 7-0 Vy Scored 20 points and pulled down 12 boatds against UVa. ® JASON CAPEL, 6-8 E KRIS LANG, 6-11 Is second on UNC in boards. “ Had four points on just 2-for-8 steals and 3-point percentage. shooting Tuesday at Virginia. d*'; ED COTA, 6-1 di) J9SEPH FORTE - 64 '''•Jp/ Has 901 career assists, good Had career bests with 27 points for ninth alEtime in NCAA. and 11 rebounds Tuesday Florida State (7-8 r 2-2 in ACC) vs. No. 21 North Carolina (11-7 f 2-2 in ACC) ®OELVON ARRINGTON, 5-11 RON HALE, 6-8 Leads FSU and is second in the kjp/ Team leader with 16.5 points ACC in assists (7.0) per game and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Lea also man aged the Seminole pressure at the end of the game. UNC freshman Cherie Lea started her second consecutive game at point guard and tallied five assists. “It’s pressure on me,” Lea said of her second start. “But they say you must adapt to pressure, and that’s what I’m trying to do.” Brown, the other half of the two- And as generations of Tar Heels have learned Ham’s always provides Awesome Food, Fun and a Great Game Time Atmosphere.

Those six points by the freshman point guards came at a time when LaQuanda Barksdale and Juana Browrn, the team’s main scorers, were on the bench w ith four fouls. Coretta Brown also added two assists, one of which came on a no-look dish down low to Jackie Higgins for a layup. “They are young, but at the same time, they all have a spark about them," Higgins said. “They kept me in the game.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. Game: Florida State at No 21 North Carolina Time: 1 p.m. Location: Dean E. Smith Center Radio: WCHL 1360 AM, 100.7 FM Television: ABC Series Record: UNC leads 24-5. Keys for UNC: Create turnovers. UNC won - or more accurately, lost the turnover war against Virginia by two touchdowns (21-7). FSU point man Delvon Arrington leads the ACC in turnovers with 4.7 per game. Keys for Florida State: The Seminoles look as if they're shooting with a 20-pound ball with their abysmal 41 percent field-goal percentage. FSU must score more than its 60-point average to beat the Tar Heels, who average close to 80 points per contest UNC Bench: With swingman Max Owens struggling for minutes, Julius Peppers has emerged as the Tar Heels' top bench player. Peppers has averaged 4.5 points and 6.3 rebounds during the last six games. Florida State Bench: Coach Steve Robinson has three bench players Justin Mott, Antwaun Dixon and Adrian Crawford who are former starters, but they only average a combined 12 points per game. Still, that comprises 20 percent of the Seminoles' woeful offense. Prediction: UNC 80, Florida State 65 COMPILED BV HUGH PRESSLEY 5
