UNC tries to finish
ACC season unbeaten
By MICHAEL DeSISTI
Sports Editor
If there was a legitimate candidate to
find the dent in the armor of the nation's
No. 1 team, N.C. State's Jim Valvano
would certainly qualify. And the coach of
the 1983 national champions claimed he
had found a flaw.
"I think their weakness is that they had
a senior manager graduate," Valvano
said after a 24-point loss in Chapel Hill
Feb. 18. "Other than that, I don't see
many weaknesses."
Neither does anybody else.
As difficult as North Carolina's weak
nesses have been to find this season,
they've been even harder to exploit.
Arkansas took advantage of an off-day
rebounding for the Tar Heels, and turned
it into a 65-64 upset.
Clemson, UVa., Md.win ACC battles
The Associated Press
DURHAM Anthony Jenkins scored
20 points as Clemson withstood Duke's
second-half rally to post its first ACC
basketball victory in 12 games in a 77-76
upset victory over the 15th ranked Blue
Devils Wednesday night.
The loss drops Duke into third place in
the ACC with a 7-6 record and the Blue
Devils are 22-7 overall. Clemson, which
had lost 11 straight ACC games, remains
at the bottom of the conference standings
with a 3-11 record and the Tigers are
13-13 overall.
With 14 seconds left, Duke had a
chance to win the game, but three shot at
tempts failed.
Danny Meagher's shot from the top of
the key bounded out, and Tommy
Amaker grabbed the rebound, but his
12-foot jumper with three seconds left
missed. Mark Alarie then missed a tip-in.
Clemson 'led 75-60 with 6:05 left on
Horace Grant's three-point play. Rut thp

But the Razorbacks were the excep
tion. The 25 less fortunate teams were the
rule.
No Dean Smith-coached team at North
Carolina had ever won 21 consecutive
games until this year not his 1982 na
tional championship team, not his 1981
and 1977 NCAA finalists, not his fistful
of Final Four qualifiers that sent enough
players to the pros to justify moving the
Basketball Hall of Fame to Chapel Hill
for future convenience.
The Tar Heels haven't waltzed through
their ACC schedule without getting some
toes stepped on, but they've danced well
enough to win their first 13 ACC games
and clinch the regular-season champion
ship by Feb. 19 this in a league that has
had all but one of its teams in the top 20
at some point during the season, with the
eight ACC teams having beaten more
Tigers scored only two points in the final
six minutes on free throws by Raymond
Jones and Mike Eppley. Eppleys free
throw came with 1:44 left.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Senior
guard Rick Carlisle scored 18 points to
lead Virginia's Cavaliers to a 65-61 ACC
victory over Wake Forest's No. 17
Demon Deacons Wednesday night.
It was the Cavaliers' third straight
ACC victory and raised their conference
record to 6-7. Virginia is now 17-9
overall. Wake Forest fell to 19-7 overall
and 6-7 in the league.
After spotting the Deacons a 2-0 lead,
Virginia scored three unanswered baskets
to go up 6-2. The Cavaliers never trailed
again, boosting their advantage to eight
at halftime, 35-27.
The Cavaliers prevailed despite playing
without leading scorer Othell Wilson for
the final 2912 minutes. Wilson suffered a
sprained left ankle in a collision with the
Deacons' Danny Young with 9:28 re
maining in the first half.

"If we can play the best game we can, I
don't think we can be beat," senior for
ward Matt Doherty said. "But another
team is going to say if they play their best,
they can't be beat. You never know.
Some team might be fired up and play
out of their mind."
. Some team might be No. 15 Duke.
North Carolina's five-point win Jan.
21 in Cameron Indoor Stadium was, at
that point in the season, the closest the
Tar Heels had come to losing. The Blue
Devils had the margin of defeat reversed
throughout much of the second half, and
it took a North Carolina surge for sur
vival in the last five minutes of the game
to pull out the win.
Duke has made a habit of disguising its
youth all year, playing with poise in the
nail-biters and equalling its win total for
the previous two years with No. 21
against Wake Forest on Feb. 18.
"There's no magic wand," coach Mike
Krzyzewski said. "We have a decent
system and our players believe in what
they're doing."
It's nice to believe, but it's better to
know. And if numbers don't lie, sopho
mores Mark Alarie and Johnny Dawkins
know. . ."
Dawkins is chasing Michael Jordan in
the conference scoring race, averaging
19.1 points per game at shooting guard.
Alarie, a 6-8 forward, is shooting 57 per
cent from the field and picking up 16.7
points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
He was taken to the hospital for
X-rays, which proved negative. Wilson,
on crutches and with his ankle heavily
wrapped, returned to the Virginia bench
with 14 minutes left in the game.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. Adrian
Branch scored 12 of his 18 points in the
second half as 19th-ranked Maryland
defeated N.C. State 63-50 Wednesday
and dealt last year's national champions
their fourth consecutive defeat.
Maryland, 19-7, took over second
place in the ACC with an 8-5 record,
breaking a tie with Duke, which lost
77-76 to Clemson. State, 19-11, is now
4-9 in the ACC.
The Terps, who have won five of their
last six, opened up a 38-29 lead with a
10-2 streak at the start of the second half.
After State pulled to within 38-35,
Branch converted a three-point play to
launch a seven-point string that put
Maryland ahead 45-35 with 10:50 remain
ing. '

A win against Duke on Saturday (3
p.m., Carmichael Auditorium, ESPN
and Raycom) would make the Tar Heels
the first team to go undefeated in ACC
regular-season play since N.C. State went
12-0 in the conference, which then con
sisted of seven teams, in 1974.
North Carolina should get its money's
worth against the Blue Devils, but if it
doesn't, the ACC tournament six days
later in Greensboro should more than
compensate.
For the Tar Heels, the 1984 tourna
ment is more a matter of pride. North
Carolina will have no postseason NCAA
appearance at stake, only a grudge to
pick with State, which took the ACC title
away last season.
"Since 1975 it has been significant for
those teams that are not assured of an
NCAA bid, because they know the sure
way to go is to get three wins in March,"
Smith said.
"It doesn't have the pressure it once
had," he said. "(Prior to 1975,. when the
tournament field expanded) You'd win
the regular season championship and
they'd turn around and say, Hey wait a
minute. You have to win it again.' Now
that's pressure."
Some are saying five, maybe six ACC
teams will receive NCAA bids. But you'd
better believe there will be some fighting
in the Greensboro Coliseum for those last
few spots. .
"The tournament is part of a do-or-die
situation," Doherty said. 'Anything
goes. Anybody can win and everybody
knows that. It gives a team a second
chance."
