Teasley watched the Tar Heels shoot a dismal 30.2 percent from the floor in their worst loss ever to the archrival Blue Devils. Freshman Cherie I ,ea, Teasley’s back UNC Seeks Next Big Win' vs. Terps By Brian Murphy Senior Writer TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge put it simply and then repeated himself. “A lot,” he said when asked how much UNC’s 70-67 victory against Florida State meant. “It’s hard to expand on a lot. It’s a big win for us, a very big win.” That a three-point victory against the Seminoles in February would carry so much meaning is an indication of the type of season Guthridge and his Tar Heels are having. Once ranked as high as No. 2 in the country, the Tar Heels needed Wednesday’s victory to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes on the probable side. UNC’s streaks are well-documented: 25 consecutive NCAA tournaments, 29 21-plus win seasons in a row, 35 con secutive top-three ACC finishes. All three are still in doubt this season, but the victory against FSU keeps the Tar Heels (17-10, 8-5 in the ACC) with in reach of all three. charm. They’ve have had their matchup postponed twice and are scheduled to play at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Cone- Kenfield Tennis Center. From Staff Reports up, teamed with forward LaQuanda Barksdale to lead the squad with 15 points apiece. Georgia Schweitzer, lauren Rice and Browne led the way for Duke with 16 points each in the blowout. If revenge and Teasley’s return aren’t enough motivation for UNC this week end, the game’s postseason implications should be. Ranked as high as eighth early this season, North Carolina is trying to The one in the most immediate dan ger might be the top-three finishes in the conference. UNC is currently tied with Virginia for third, but the schedule favors the Cavaliers. The Tar Heels have to travel to confer ence front-runners Mary land and Duke, and the Cavaliers have a road contest with FSU and home dates with Wake Forest and Maryland to close out the ACC schedule. UNC also hosts Georgia Tech. UNC battles the 19th-ranked Terps (20-7, 9-4) at Cole Field House on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The Tar Heels will have a chance to claim just their second victory against a ranked team - the first being a 75-63 victory against then-No. 22 Maryland in the now infamous “stu dents-in-the-lower-section” game. | Join America's #1 Student Tour Operator SPUING BREAK CRUISE *“* :_a Limited Spate Stili Available / FROM l Imagine partying for 7 days Cl JC ptR with 1 , 100 of your closest df V 91 WON friends as you visit the popular QcOZUMEI _ __ Spring Break ports of Cozumel A.
