Duke will rely on outside shooting and needs to be more accurate from 3-point range than it was against UNC on Feb. 1, when it made 12-of-35 attempts. The absence of Boozer is vital, but Tar Heel opponents that utilize quickness, not size notably the College of Charleston can make Brendan Haywood a non-factor. With Casey Sanders and Matt Christensen trying to fill Boozer's shoes, Haywood has a chance to shine against Duke once again. Prediction: UNC 87, Duke 82 Compiled by Bret Strelow jJIBBIf ; k \ *" B WILLIAMS From Page 1 when the Blue Devils need a basket down the stretch, yet he still hands out 6.3 assists per game (second in the ACC) and heads Duke’s ferocious full court pressing defense. “He’s in another world as far as point guards in college basketball,” Duke cen ter Carlos Boozer said. That’s why UNC coach Matt NRC From Page 1 “At this point the NRC intends to try to create the largest stockpile of nuclear waste in the country without even a lousy safety hearing,” Warren said. But he also said Orange County still had the option to appeal the ruling. Doherty, who called Forte the nation’s best player Tuesday, still feels Williams deserves some consideration for college player of the year. “I think the point guard position is so vital, and you look at his numbers, what he can do both offensively and defen sively,” Doherty said. “I think .you can make a strong case for Jason Williams as the best player in the country." The Sport Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. “The next step would be to appeal this and ask the five-member panel to review and reconsider the order," Warren said. “Beyond that, the next step would be, if it is taken, an appeal to federal court” Hughes said he understood the rul ing does not guarantee the issue is behind CP&L. “(It is) not behind us, but this is an important milestone in that this is the end of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s exhaustive investiga tion,” he said. “This has hardly been the rubber stamp people thought it would be when it started.” The City Editor can be reached at cltydesk@unc.edu.

Bank of America Building • 933-6133 Slip Satly (Ear Wppl MENSBASKETBALL From Page 1 Sanders, a 6-11 sophomore, and Christensen, a 6-10 junior, are Boozer’s likely replacements. They have com bined to average 3.9 points and 3.8 rebounds this season. Boozer averages 14.0 points and 6.5 boards and also leads the ACC in field-goal percentage (.602). He averaged less than five points in losses to Stanford, UNC and Virginia earlier in the season, underscoring how important he is to Duke. The Blue Devils will rely on their 3-point touch (.403) against the Tar Heels to make up for their lost production in the paint. “We’re going to shoot 35,” Krzyzewski said. “We shoot it more than anybody because we can do it well. That’s a strength. If we do it well, we have a chance to beat anybody, including North Carolina on Sunday.” That’s what UNC senior center Brendan Haywood and his teammates will try to prevent Haywood will be playing his last home game at the Smith Center and wants to go out in style. Boozer’s injury would seem to open the door for Haywood to have a monster game, but the opposite could be true. If Krzyzewski doesn’t play Sanders and Christensen, Battier could be his center. Battier has the skills of a small forward, and Haywood can’t guard him outside. “That’s going to concern me most,” Haywood said. “I don’t want to chase him out away from the basket” Duke’s lineup in such a situation - Battier, 6-8 Mike Dunleavy and 6-6 Nate James at forward, and 6-1 Chris Duhon and 6-2 Jason Williams in the backcourt - would be scary with its shooting and pressure defense capabilities. It would be one of fastest and best ball-handling units the ACC has seen. It also could limit the minutes of Haywood and 6-11 Kris Lang. “It could make them a more danger ous team,” UNC guard Ronald Curry said. “I know Battier played some (center) last game. If he gets going and they’ve got five guys out there who can shoot 3s instead of four, it may help them.” That’s what Krzyzewski is banking on. And while much of the pregame hype focuses on the Duke center who won’t play, Krzyzewski will instead concern himself with the Blue Devils who will. Sure, things could be better for his team. But Duke is still Duke. There’s a reason the Blue Devils are one win away from a fifth straight ACC crown. “We have weapons,” Krzyzewski said. “We can put points up on the board. As long as you can do that, you have a chance to win basketball games.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.
