Teasley's Pass-First Mentality Leads UNC in Win By Rachel Carter Senior Writer The last time the Harvard women’s basketball team faced North Carolina, there was an unusually tall girl running UNC’s point - Marion Jones. This time, there was another unusu ally tall girl running the point, and Nikki Teasley didn’t make things any easier on the Crimson than did Jones. “Marion Jones spoiled me,” said UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell. “When I had Marion, you know, you could see over other people and they can’t press them and all that.” The 6-foot Teasley was at least two inches taller than all of Harvard’s guards, and she towered over 5-foot-6 Crimson point guard Jennifer Monti. And Teasley had no problem taking that edge and running with it. She fin ished with 11 assists to compensate for a 2-of-9 performance from the floor. Teasley’s assists gave her 710 for her career. Teasley, who owns UNC’s assist record, now is 20 away from the ACC record for dimes. The record is held by former Virginia guard Dawn Staley. “Asa point guard, my obligation is to dish the basketball,” Teasley said. “As I’m looking at the stat sheet, I’m glad I did, looking at my shooting percentage.” Teasley hit wide-open Jennifer Thomas under the basket from the top of the key with a no-look pass with 15:43 left in the game, making the score 55-34. , The basket marked the fifth and sixth MEN S BASKETBALL From Page 12 from an old play called the Blind Pig. The Blue Devils looked puzzled, and the crowd seemed confused, booing at first but then cheering for the underdog Tar Heels. UNC led four times early and trailed by six at halftime, by three mid way through the second half and by five with 4:35 to go. “We did very well; we were patient,” said Kris Lang, who was UNC’s lone double-figure scorer with 14 in his last collegiate game. He totaled 14 points in the previous Duke matchups, but the fruit-fly offense freed him up more often. “When the crowd was booing, we pulled it out and we waited. We exe cuted well.” The fans weren’t the only ones frus trated with the style of play. The exas perated Blue Devils had something to say on the court about the Tar Heels’ tactics. “They started talking to us,” Jawad Williams said. “We just kept running around and making them chase us. It was funny to look at them and see how mad they were getting. They called us everything. Everything.” Duke’s agitated players repeatedly smacked the floor to stay alert and intimidating in their defensive crouches while waiting out UNC’s baß-holding. The slowed play affected the Blue Devils on the offensive end as well, tak ing the game out of the faster rhythm to which they’re accustomed.

All of Thomas’ three baskets came off of Teasley assists. “Nikki’s always looking to pass more than she’s looking to score,” Hatchell said. “She had 11 assists and she did a nice job getting the ball to Candace (Sutton),Jennifer and Coretta (Brown)." One of Teasley’s more highlight-wor thy assists went to backcourt mate Brown, who got the play started by tip ping a pass at halfcourt. Teasley got her hand up and slapped the ball to the ground, and Brown hit it back toward the basket. Teasley streaked to the hoop with Monti hot on her heels. As she passed the hoop, Teasley flicked the ball over her shoulder to Brown, who scooped it up for an easy lay-in. Golden Season Continues Fifth-seeded Minnesota kept its remarkable season alive by thumping UNLV 74-54 in the first game Saturday. The No. 18 Golden Gophers, armed with first-year coach, Brenda Oldfield, finished 21-7 overall and third in the Big Ten in the regular season. All-American candidate Lindsay Whalen gave Minnesota 29 points, including 9 of 10 from the ffee-throw line. “We talked before the game about being a contender or a pretender," Oldfield said. “Contenders are ready to play and aren’t going to be nervous and pretenders use it as an excuse not to be 39.1 percent to UNC’s 51.7 percent but took 17 more shots. Still, it set a season low in points by 13. The Tar Heels turned the ball over 17 times, leading to 24 points, while the Blue Devils had just three miscues. “I felt sure that if we played at our pace that we’d have a chance to win toward the end,” said guard Adam Boone. “We had our opportunities, we just didn’t make the plays that they made.” With less than four minutes to go, Jason Williams deflected a pass and then rapidly chased down and dunked the ball from the left side with his right hand. Williams said at the press confer ence that he didn’t recall the play. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said it was one of the best plays any of his players have made at Duke. On the next possession, the Blue Devils delayed themselves, and Williams hit an open 3. Then Chris Duhon nailed a deep bomb as the shot clock expired for an 11-point advantage at the 1:16 mark. The Tar Heels went home, their sea son over with no NCAA tournament for the first time since 1974, and the Blue Devils moved into a final No. 1 ranking and on with their quest to repeat as national champions. But they moved on impressed. “That was a heck of a basketball game,” Krzyzewski said. “That is a tour nament game. North Carolina was superb. Immense credit should be given to them for their preparation for this game. It was a well-conceived, well ON CAMPUS INTERVIEWS 't forget to submit your resume to these companies for interviews!

We talked about stepping out and setting the tempo from the minute we started, and it was exciting to see.” Big Basket With their advancement to the sec ond round guaranteed by a 25-plus lead in the closing minutes of the game, the Tar Heels’ happiest moment didn’t come when the buzzer sounded. Instead, the bench erupted when junior Elizabeth Coughran hit a turnout jumper with 1:59 to go. Coughran served as one of the team’s managers last year and made it onto the team as a walk-on this year. She’s often the last person off the bench during a blowout and hadn’t scored a point until Saturday. The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

Keys for Minnesota: The Golden Gophers need to neutralize UNC's high-scoring guard tan dem of Nikki Teasley and Coretta Brown. In its game against UNLV on Saturday, Minnesota shut down Rebel star Linda Frohikh with a diamond-and-one zone. Expect the Gophen to try to stop the Tar Heels' potent combo with sane sort of triangle-and-two defense. On offense, Minnesota's game runs through guard Lindsay Whalen, who averages 21.9 points a game, but the Gophers have three other players who average double digits. Keys for UNC Defensively, UNC needs to pressure the Golden Gophers with a variety of defen sive sets and looks. In Minnesota's 71-54 win against UNLV, Whalen went off for 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting. The Tar Heels will start Coretta Brown or Whalen, but they also could put Nikita Bell, Nikki Teasley and Leah Metcalf on Whalen to vary the type of pressure she sees. Offensively, the Tar Heels need only to see the game tape from their Saturday win against Harvard to see how well their inside-outside attack can work. UNC needs to establish its inside game early and hope its outside shooters are on line. Probable Lineups UNC (25-8) Minnesota (22-7) G Coretta Brown (5-11,17.0 ppg) G Lindsay Ueser (5-10,8.8 ppg) G Leah Metcalf (5-7,9.1 ppg) G Lindsay Whalen (5-8, (21.9 ppg) G Nikki Teasley (6-0,15.5 ppg) G Corrin Von Wald (5-9,12.0 ppg) F Jennifer Thomas (6-1,5.6 ppg) F Kadidja Andersson (5-11,10.7 ppg) C Candace Sutton (6-6,11.8 ppg) C Jane) McCarville (6-2,13.2 ppg) COMPILED BY IAN GORDON BASEBALL From Page 12 Friday, Scott Autrey retired 20 of the Maryland’s first 21 batters before getting into trouble in the seventh. Maryland (13-5, 0-3) erased a 2-0 deficit, scoring three runs on four straight hits. But UNC tied the game in the seventh and a pinch-hit sacrifice fly by Chase Younts in the bottom of the eighth to put UNC up 4-3 proved to be the game-winner. On Saturday, Ryan Blake had a career-high five hits and drove in three runs as UNC beat Maryland 8-2. Kevin Brower and Garry Bakker combined to allow just six hits, sending Maryland to its second consecutive loss. Sunday’s win came without Blake, who was held out of the lineup after col liding with Prosser chasing a fly ball on Saturday. UNC also was without the offense of Russ Adams, who was the only starter not to record a hit. Adams Help Save A Life | Donate Plasma Today.
