Buffaloes stampede UNC

BOULDER, Colo. - All season
long, making free throws has been
a problem for the North Carolina
women’s basketball team. Heading
into the NCAA Tournament, they
were shooting 60.5 percent.
On Monday night, in their sec
ond-round matchup against
Colorado, the
Tar Heels didn’t
have to worry
about that
because they

the charity stripe often enough.
UNC shot 9 for 16 from the line.
The Buffaloes, on the other
hand, took 39 trips to the free
throw line, knocking down 31 of
them. That proved to be the differ
ence as CU ended UNC’s season
with an 86-67 defeat before a
crowd 0f4,645 at the Coors Events
Center. It was the Tar Heels’ 15th
appearance in the NCAA
Tournament.
“It’s pretty simple, the differ
ence in the game was the foul line,”
said UNC coach Sylvia Hatched. “I
look at the stats, and basically the
difference was on the foul line.
Six-foot-5 Colorado center Tera
Byorkland didn’t make things any
easier on the Tar Heels (28-6). She
pumped in a career-high 34 points
on 11-of-14 shooting from the floor
and hit 12 of 17 free throws.
“I think she was really tested at
the free-throw line tonight,” said
Colorado coach Cael Barry. “She
didn't really get a chance early to
do anything.
“I think part of North Carolina’s
strategy was to rough her up a lit
tle bit. And a lot of teams look at

said Brown, who finished with 10
points and five assists. “I was
telling them in the locker room I
love each and every one one of
them.
“They’re my sisters and we went
out fighting. We didn’t just lay
down and die.”
Although they were the higher
seed, the Tar Heels had to play the
Buffs (24-7) on their home floor
due to the NCAA Selection
Committee’s switch to predeter
mined sites, and it was a subject
Hatchell addressed after the game.
“From day one, I’ve been very
vocal, against (predetermined
sites),” Hatchell said. “My person
al feeling is my team earned the
right to play at home. Would
things have been different had we
played in Chapel Hill? I think you
could definitely say that.”

Felton’s fire inspires UNC to win
BY KELLY LUSK
SENIOR WRITER
Sometimes, before they fall
asleep in the quiet confines of their
first-floor room in Hinton James
North Residence Hall, freshmen
Raymond Felton and David Noel
talk about the future.
“We sit in our room and talk
about leaving our mark at
Carolina,” Noel said. “We just did
n’t think it would be Raymond’s
freshman year.”
But Felton
seems deter
mined to make
his first season

a memorable one. His UNC fresh
man-record 14 assists bolstered
North Carolina to a 90-74 win
against Wyoming in the second
round of the NIT on Monday.
“He has all the cliches,” said UNC
coach Matt Doherty. “The heart of a
lion the toughness, his enthusi
asm, his competitiveness is conta
gious, and I think that spreads to
our guys ... He doesn’t care if he
scores he just wants to win.”
Felton’s passion has spread
through his team in the NIT. His
energy sparked a comeback that
helped UNC (19-15) survive a first
round scare against DePaul. And
against the Cowboys, Felton erased
any doubts about the Tar Heels’
postseason motivation in front of a
sellout crowd at the Smith Center.

UNC Pedestrian Safety Awareness Campaign
Be Aware
Pedestrians: Do not assume drivers can stop. Look across all lanes you must
cross. Even though one vehicle has stopped, another may pass in another lane.
Drivers: Be attentive when entering a crosswalk area. Drive slowly. Be prepared
to stop. Do not overtake and pass other vehicles stopped for pedestrians on your
side of the roadway.
Be Considerate
Pedestrians: Establish eye contact with drivers before crossing. Do not enter the
crosswalk suddenly. Wave or thank drivers who yield.
Drivers: Establish eye contact with pedestrians who are crossing. Be patient.
Be Safe
Pedestrians: Cross the street between the lines within the crosswalk. If you
cross the street at a place other than a designated crosswalk or intersection,
remember the vehicle has the right-of-way.
Drivers: Yield to pedestrians crossing in marked crosswalks or at intersections.
Failure to yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk is a violation of
North Carolina law.
As part of the “Yield to Heels” UIPI M
campaign, volunteers will be YIILU m

UNC’s 34 field goals Monday
matched a season high and trans
lated to its first 90-point game
since Feb. 18. UNC’s 27 assists put
Wyoming’s 10 to shame, especially
when combined with the turnover
margin the Cowboys had 19 to
the Tar Heels’ eight.
But Wyoming (21-11) wasn’t
going to let North Carolina waltz
into the third round. With 16:35 left
in the game, the Cowboys switched
to zone defense and went on an 18-
O run to cut UNC’s lead to three.
“When they cut (the lead) to 10,
we started getting impatient,” Noel
said. “We just started jacking up 35.”
Eventually UNC’s ice-cold shoot
ing thawed, and the Tar Heels
regained control of the game.
Melvin Scott hit a couple of 3s and
Felton found Noel for two dunks to
get the Tar Heels bouncing up and
down, gesturing toward the crowd.
“We’ve just been having fun out
there,” said UNC swingman
Rashad McCants. “Just like in the
beginning, in the Preseason NIT.”
To repeat its preseason run to an
NIT title, UNC will have to defeat
Georgetown at 7 p.m. Wednesday in
