It will be interesting to see.” The arena. North Carolina senior point guard Ed Cota which seats 19,722 and cost more than $l5B million, has 2,300 courtside seats for N.C. State students. The students and rabid supporters have quickly given the Wolfpack a distinct home-court edge. “Any time you have that type of home environment, it can only help you,” N.C. State coach Herb Sendek said. Although the Wolfpack certainly gains confidence inside the ESA - the team is 1-5 away from home - it will need to sti fle Tar Heel point guard Ed Cota in order to keep its current streak alive. In the teams’ first meeting this season, Cota scored 23 points on 8-of-8 shoot ing. His ability to penetrate also opened up opportunities for center Brendan Haywood, who scored 16 on 7-of-7 from the floor. Both perfect nights helped the Tar Heels shoot 71.1 percent, including an unreal 78.9 in the second half. Such good marksmanship allowed UNC to overcome 20 turnovers in the 83-75 home victory on Jan. 8. The win improved Cota’s record against ’Pack senior point guardJustin Gainey to 8-1. The final regular-season matchup of the duo is a pivotal battle for postseason positioning. Both teams enter the game 5-4 and tied for second with Virginia and Maryland in the ACC.

UNC Netters Stay Unbeaten With Shutout of Paladins North Carolina senior Tripp Phillips had to sit and watch last year as Lee Nickell, Furman’s No. 1 seed, picked up the Paladins’ lone win against UNC. Tuesday, Phillips made sure there was no repeat effort. Phillips cruised by Nickell 6-0, 6-1 and led UNC to a 7-0 victory. Men’s Tennis Furman 0 UNC 7 “He’s not the type of player you can win a point with on one or two shots,” Phillips said. “Getting to watch last year definitely helped.” David Cheatwood clinched the win for UNC with a 7-6, 6-2 victory against Furman’s Drew Parker at No. 3 singles. Ulljp Batty ®or HpH Game: North Carolina at N.C. State Time: 7 p.m. Location: Entertainment and Sports Arena, Raleigh Radio: 100.7 FM, WCHL-1360 AM Television: ESPN. Series Record: UNC leads 125-70. Keys for UNC: Ed Cota finally has taken an assertive role in the Tar Heel offense and with good results. He and Justin Gainey square off for the 10th time in their careers. UNC is 8-1 in the previous nine. Can UNC stop State's ESA mastery? The fans will be loud and on the floor, but the Tar Heels are veteran and have been in tough spots before. Keys for N.C. State: Keep its composure. The Wolfpack blew a lead against Maryland because Damon Thornton lost his cool. State must also rule the glass, as it did in the first matchup. The team has not lost in the ESA and does not want UNC to end the streak. UNC Bench: Julius Peppers and Max Owens will get their minutes, 20 and 10, respectively. The Blue team could also see its minute of action. N.C. State Bench: Even without injured Ron Kelley, Herb Sendek has a diverse set of reserves. Guard Archie Miller provides a long-range threat for the Wolfpack. Guard Marshall Williams and center Cornelius Williams will play crucial minutes. Prediction: UNC 75, N.C. State 69 Compiled by Brian Murphy After trading service holds for 12 games, Cheatwood took the first-set tiebreaker 7-3 by winning all five of his service points. UNC (2-0) took a 1-0 lead by captur ing two out of the three doubles matches. The Tar Heels led early in each match, but Furman (4-2) broke serve on all three courts within a five-minute span to put its No. 3 doubles team up a break and its other two squads back on serve. UNC recovered to grab an 8-6 win at No. 1 doubles and an 8-5 victory at No. 2. “In an eight-game pro set, it happens so quick, there are a lot of momentum changes,” UNC coach Sam Paul said. “You have to be able to handle that.” Bret Strelow
