Carolina basketball, women's style, is a
mixture of pressure defense and running
offense and senior guard Linda Matthews
is the floor general for both when the Tar
Heels hit the court.
The veteran in the Heel's backcourt,
Matthews got off to a slow start this year
as her intense, aggressive style of play
found her in foul trouble in the early
season contests. She has improved as the
season has progressed and now leads
UNCs offensive attack with a 15.6-point
scoring average and the Heels defense
with 54 steals.
"I fouled out of four of our first five
games," Matthews said. "The reason 1
was having trouble was because we play a
lot of pressure defense. Now I am still
playing with intensity on defense, but I
am concentrating more on not getting
caught for cheap fouls. I am pleased with
the way 1 have been playing recently.
Offensively, I am going inside more, not
handling the ball as much and moving
more without the ball."
A consistent double-figure scorer,
Matthews has been hot in the Heels most
recent outings. In four of UNCs last five
games, she has scored 18 or more points
with a number of them coming on fast
breaks. She popped in 20 points against'
Maryland, had 21 at William & Mary,
bucketed 24 against Virginia and
recorded 18 points in UNCs 84-72 win
over Appalachian State last Sunday.
"Linda has improved her offense and
her ability to read the defense," said UNC
coach Jennifer Alley. "She has matured a

great deal and I have been pleased with
her leadership and her ability to run the
team. She certainly has developed
offensive quickness and now we are
concentrating on a running, and yet
patient, offense.
"Linda plays excellent defense when
she is intense; she is one of the most
naturally talented players we have and
she has improved her team play. If she
can maintain her level of play of the last
couple of games, she may prove to be one
of the best guards in the state," Alley said.
Matthews plays with such intensity
that she is sometimes near exhaustion
before giving the tired sign and taking a
break while one of the Heels' subs fills in.
Alley stresses playing defense with
intensity and the Heels take pride in their
defensive play.
"We concentrate on pressure defense a
lot," Matthews said, "and that has been
important in our improved play. I think
we have one of the best defenses in the
country. We are not as good a shooting
team as some of our opponents but our
defense is very good."
i .
Carolina is 9-6, with three ol those
losses coming in close games with
nationally ranked teams. The squad was
disappointed with its inconsistent early
season play, but impressive wins over
Virginia and Appalachian State have
restored the Heels' confidence.
East Carolina is 8-5 and boasts one of
the state's best players in forward Rosie
Thompson.
"East Carolina gets up for us like we get
up for State," Matthews said. "It is a
divisional game so it's an important one
for us and they beat us in the regionals so
we will be ready for them. They have a
good team and it will be a tough game.",
Matthews will lead the Tar Heels when
they tangle with East Carolina at 7
tonight in Greenville's Minges Coliseum.

From page 1
"I was so tired after the Arkansas game
" I just came back and hit the bed and slept
for I-don't-know-how-many-hours,"
Wood said. "But we're definitely loose
and relaxed now and expect a good,
close, hard-fought game."
Meanwhile in Raleigh the boys and
coach Norm Sloan are chewing past the
pink in their finger nails. Three
conference losses slapped the Wolfpack
down to the ACC cellar and Sloan isn't
about to make any comments that might
get the Heels angry.
'"North Carolina has great firepower
and depth," Sloan says. "They can all
shoot. Al Wood is as fine a shooter as
there is in the country. Mike 0'K,oren is
one of the finest forwards in the country.
They're strong on the boards." Etcetera,
etcetera it sounds like a Carolina press
release. But Sloan knows that if he loses
tonight, he might as well begin gearing his
team for the ACC Tournament in March.
Smith, meanwhile, is seeking his ninth
regular season title in the last 1 3 years and
has the Tar Heels at 3-1 in the ACC and
No. 2 in the nation.
Ged Doughton will start in place of
injured Dave Colescott, despite a painful
knob on his head he received when he
tried to draw a charge on Arkansas'
Sidney Moncrief. Doughton didn,'t
commit a single turnover in 61 minutes of
playing time against Duke and the
Razorbacks.
Whitney, who's received a lot of
publicity about losing 'weight during the
off-season, has come through for Sloan.
He's State's leading scorer at 1 8.2, leading
rebounder at 6.3 and is hitting 57 percent
from the field. Clyde Austin is averaging
15.3 points a game and "Tiney" Pindcr
12.9.
Wood twisted his right ankle against
Arkansas but is ok now and will draw
either Whitney or Warren as a defensive
assignment. Wood leads Carolina scoring
with a 16.8 average, hitting on 57 percent
of his shots.
"I expected to have a good year," he
says. "Last year I got lost a few times and
got caught up in the excitement too
much."
And everybodyespecially the rival
fans know what that's like when State
and Carolina play.

Who needs a parking permit when
we've got the bus?
Even though I live out at Foxcroft.
l m never more than a few minutes
from class. Sometimes I take
the bus four times a day it
doesn't cost any more,
because I have a bus
pass. And the pass cost
nr e less than half what
I'd pay for a parking .
permit.
Not that I'm against
parking on campus. Actually
I tried to get a
parking permit-
. but they didn't
have any
' more.

So for me, the bus is more than a nice
way to get to class. It's the only'way.
That's really okay, because
- with a car I'd have to park a
long way from class, if I
could park at all.
' Meanwhile the bus has
been a great place to
meet people. I've met
some terrific new
friends on the bus.
"It's fast, it's cheap,
it's nice . . . and it sure
beats hunting around
for a parking place."
