®fp laihj (Ear Heel Aggressive ‘D’ routs UNC-A BY BRIANA GORMAN SPORTSATURDAY EDITOR During the first half ofTuesday’s North Carolina women’s basket ball game against UNC-Asheville, it looked like the No. 7 Tar Heels had left their scoring touch south of the border. While the Tar Heels were in Cancun, Mexico, for Thanksgiving break, they shot 47.6 percent and 53.7 percent from the field WOMEN'S BASKETBALL UNC-A 43 UNC 83 against No. 16 Arizona State and TCU, respectively. But in Carmichael Auditorium it was a different story, as UNC struggled to find the basket early in the first half, missing easy shots and turning the ball over 13 times. Despite its slow start, UNC even tually found its offensive rhythm to defeat UNC-A, 83-43. “It was frustrating because we just felt like we couldn’t hang on to the ball,” said sophomore Erlana Larkins. “We were missing easy shots. We were fumbling the passes. We were just out of sync. We just weren’t together at that point in time in the game.” UNC (5-0), known for its fast paced offensive style, started the game sluggishly and UNC-A (3-1) battled to within three points mid way through the first half —but that was as close as the Bulldogs got the rest of the game. UNC settled down and went on a 14-8 nm to pull away from the per sistent Bulldogs, closing out the first half with a comfortable 42-25 lead. Larkins led the charge, scoring 10 of her 13 points in the first half. “We were getting out-rebound ed pretty good at halftime, so that’s what we talked about more than anything else,” said UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell about her halftime speech to her team. “Just continuing to do what we were doing but making easy shots and just getting on the boards harder.” The Tar Heels came out of the locker room a different team, immediately pouncing on the Bulldogs by going on a 15-5 run. The high-intensity defense and fast-moving offense that was miss ing in the first half for the Tar Hefels returned as UNC dominated the Bulldogs. The tenacious UNC defense forced an astounding 40 UNC-A turnovers during the game.

And the scoring was balanced, as Larkins and LaToya Pringle led the team with 13 points each. The offensive spark in the sec ond half vaulted UNC to its third straight game where it has shot better than 45 percent from the field. The offensive output comes as no surprise from a Tar Heel team that likes to run the court and overwhelm teams with its speed. “We like that up-tempo game and I thought that was in our favor tonight,” Hatchell said. “I thought we were abit sluggish, probably because of that travel and it hasn’t been that long since we got off the airplane. But again it was a good team effort and we are look ing forward to the rest of the games this week.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. • VOLLEYBALL vs. College of Charleston, 7 p.m. NCAA First Round Smith Center SATURDAY ■ MEN'S SOCCER vs. Southern Methodist, 1 p.m. NCAA Quarterfinals Fetzer Field ■ MEN'S BASKETBALL at Kentucky, noon Lexington, Ky. ■ FENCING Dual Meets at Pennsylvania, 8 a.m. Philadelphia, Pa.

Heels’ comeback falls short BY BRANDON PARKER SENIOR WRITER North Carolina’s sparse fountain of experience entered Tuesday’s matchup against its first bonafide opponent in No. 12 Illinois just three players strong. But it didn’t take long for this source to be depleted. Before tipoff sophomore point guard Quentin Thomas was scratched from the lineup with a stress fracture in his toe. Then, eight minutes into the con test, j unior forward Reyshawn Terry darted to the locker room to tape up a sprained ankle, temporarily leav ing senior David Noel to serve as the grand sage for the Tar Heels. And although UNC found a geyser of youth fill support in its MEN'S BASKETBALL Illinois 68 UNC 64 backcourt of Bobby Frasor, Marcus Ginyard and Danny Green, it was the Fighting Ulini’s spring of leader ship in point guard Dee Brown that proved the difference. The preseason All-American shook off a tough outing (14 points, O-for-6 from behind the arc and five turnovers) to sink two crucial game-ending free throws that stopped a late UNC surge and allowed Illinois to hold on for a 68- 64 victory at the Smith Center. “We really went on the court together,” Noel said. “Sometimes it takes a loss to bring a team together. We really fought hard to get back into the game and we had a chance to win it. They knocked down some hard shots all night and that helped them prevail.” North Carolina (3-1) rode the play of Noel, who had all 12 of his points in the first half, to maintain a slim lead throughout the early portion of the contest. The young backcourt of Ginyard and Green played well off each other and found a number of easy shots through backdoor cuts and no-look passes. Meanwhile, Frasor managed to keep good track of the speedy Freshmen show moxie in close loss BY DEREK HOWLES ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR It’s hard enough to go on a 12-0 run in the final three minutes of a game to give your team a chance at the end. But to do it with points scored only by freshmen? Ones who are playing in their fourth college game? That would appear to be dadgum-near impossible. Unless you’re North. Carolina and the game in question is your 68-64 loss to No. 15 Illinois on Tuesday night. Mostly playing four freshmen at once, it took the runnin’, gunnin’, youngin’ Tar Heels just 2:57 to cut a 64-50 Illinois lead to 64-62 and to put themselves in position F i % K I Avt At * .

Brown and forced him into a num ber of bad shots and uncharacteris tic turnovers. But this momentum did not carry over into the second half for Illinois, and the three-point shooting it had been unable to rely on in last sea son’s title game came through. Brown drew a world of attention with each drive to the lane, freeing up Mcßride and Jamar Smith in the corner for 3-pointers that cre ated a 13-point Illinois lead with seven minutes to go. But just as the water seemed to run dry for North Carolina, that fountain of youth sprang up when most of the UNC faithful were look ing to Noel or Terry to take over. Hansbrough made his presence to reward an ear-splitting Smith Center crowd with a victory. And while victory lay just out of reach, the UNC freshmen proved they wouldn’t back down in an elec tric atmosphere reminiscent more of late March than of late November. “We weren’t going to let in,” said freshman forward Tyler Hansbrough, who led the babes in baby blue with 17 points. “I don’t think they were expecting us to come out with that intensity and it sparked a little run.” Point guard Bobby Frasor started by hitting the first 3 of the game for the previously O-for-8 Tar Heels, and seconds later forward Danny Green went straight up to stuff Illinois for ward Shaun Pruitt and gave UNC DO IT JUST . | | yt p V|oj|g UfM BET?: \ - | Sublets | NEED A PLACE FOR SPRING SEMESTER?

Terry shot a woeful 3-of-11 for the game. felt in the paint, as he drew foul after foul to register easy points at the line. Around the perimeter, Ginyard quickly transformed from Mr. Newcomer to Mr. Big Shot, draining a huge 3-pointer at the 4:10 mark to cut the lead to six and a long stepback in the final minute to make it a two-point game. But just as Illinois coach Bruce Weber and the Fighting Mini had expected, it was Brown who pro vided the answer. After UNC failed on two chances to tie the game at 64 by turning the ball over and los ing a loose ball off a missed Illinois free throw, Brown calmly stepped the ball in the ensuing tie-up. After two Hansbrough free throws and a turnover by Illinois All- American point guard Dee Brown, guard Marcus Ginyard swished another 2 from the comer to cut the deficit to six and force Mini coach Bruce Weber to call a timeout. But that timeout couldn’t stop the bleeding, in part because an earlier timeout by UNC coach Roy Williams had instilled in his youngsters the attitude needed to stage a comeback. “He got intense, got down on in a defensive stance and was growling and was in our faces,” Frasor said. “He made us believe that we could win this game if we just played hard every possession.” The Daily Tar Heel seeks: Columnists: Write once per week.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 to the line for two points from the charity stripe and iced the game. But given the gutsy performance from his unexpected sources of passion and big-game play, the Tar Heel coach certainly gained some confidence in his squad. “It was a joy for me to watch that and the way they competed,” Williams said with a smile. “It’s something that you have to go through, but as long as we keep competing as hard as we are and get better... we’re going to be OK.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. And it was Frasor’s Dee-fense that was another big part of the comeback. He guarded Brown more than any other Tar Heel and held him to 6-of-19 shooting. Not to mention the Mini floor general committed fivttimovers includ ing the big one down the stretch. “Everyone says we’re a young team but we’re a capable team,” Ginyard said. “We have to get ready for the game on Saturday.” And while Kentucky will be a heavy favorite in that game, don’t be surprised if the Tar Heels do some thing more suited for a Wildcat if they face a big deficit: claw back.
