4The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, March 5, 1987 Sports Heels ffavoFedl to take ACC touireey By SCOTT FOVLER Staff Writer If North Carolina loses a game in the 34th ACC basketball tournament that begins Friday, it will be a major upset. But then again, if UNC loses another game the rest of this season, it will be tabbed an upset. Despite still being ranked No. 2 in the polls behind Nevada Las-Vegas, the Tar Heels are consistently being picked to take the NCAA tournament, on streetcorners, subways and television stations. The ACC tournament is supposed to be child's play for UNC, who breezed through the conference regular season with an unblemished 14-0 record. It is only the seventh team in conference historv to finish undefeated in the ACC. But don't award any championships to the Tar Heels yet. The last time they went undefeated through the regular season, they lost in the 1984 tournament. For a team to win three games in three days, it has to maintain a high level of consistency or get incredibly hot. The top five teams in the conference should have a shot at the title and the automatic NCAA bid that goes with it. UNC, on the other hand, may have already guaranteed itself the No. 1 seed in the East Regional with its impressive regular-season performance, which may give the team a tad less motivation. Here's a quick look at Friday's games, with seedings included: Noon, No. 1 UNC vs. No. 8 Maryland The Tar Heels kick off the tournament against the woeful Terrapins, who lost all 14 of their conference games under first-year coach Bob Wade. Maryland has the home crowd and AU ACC center Derrick Lewis, but not much else. UNC whipped Maryland by 33 at home earlier this season, and had a tougher time in College Park before pulling out a 93-86 victory. Lewis had 26 points and 13 rebounds in that game. He will need about 40 for the Terrapins to win, along with point guard Teyon McCoy somehow neutralizing Kenny Smith, and even then the odds aren't good. A No. 8 seed hasn't beaten the top seed in the 33-year history of this tournament. 2 p.m., No. 4 Virginia vs. No. 5 Georgia Tech The Cavaliers are 20-8 and boast a pair of unrelated Kennedys, senior Andrew and junior Mel. Andrew Kennedy finished as the league's fifth-leading scorer at 16.3 a game and is one of the ACC's most slippery big men under the basket. Half of Mel's shots are one-handed, running and off-balance, but they usually go in. Point guard John Johnson has improved, and is third in the league in assists. Georgia Tech, ranked No. 6 in one-preseason poll, couldn't even finish in the top half of its own conference. Much of that was due to the disappointing seasons had by center Antoine Ford (5 points, 4.3 rebounds) and guard Bruce Dairy mple. Tech is 16-11, and needs a win or two to get an NCAA berth. They will rely on sophomore Tom Hammonds (16.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg) and junior Duane Ferrell (18.3, 5.6). 7 p.m., No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 7 Wake Forest This could be the best of the first-round games. Clemson point guard Grayson Marshall went down with an ankle injury in the Tigers' game against Duke, and his status is uncertain. That means Wake (2-12, 13-14) guard Tyrone Bogues may have a field day against whoever Clemson (25-4 overall, 10-4 ACC) puts out against him, stealing, scoring and harassing. However, the Tigers have the ACC's best player, center Horace Grant. Wake will have to hold him under 25 points and 12 rebounds to have much of a shot, and get a strong perfor mance from freshman forward Sam Ivy. 9 p.m.,No. 3 Duke vs. No. 6 N.C. State The Blue Devils lost four starters from last season and still produced a 22-7 season and 9 5 ACC slate. Sophomore John Smith averaged less than two points per game in 1985-86, but has emerged this season to score nearly 13 a game. Tommy Amaker and Danny Ferry join with Smith to form the team's core. N.C. State has been a big disappointment, falling to a 6-8 mark in the ACC and 17-14 overall. The Wolfpack lost 10 of 12 games in one stretch, and at one point were 14-14 this season. State's shooting is next-to-last in the league at 48 percent, and it is also the worst free-throw shooting team at 70 percent. However, the Wolfpack have talent. Bennie Bolton and Charles Shackleford are inconsistent, but when they are on give State a necessary scoring punch. Tar Heel athletes never, ever et a break By Andy podolsky Staff Writer As we step into our second day of Lent and the final day before the coveted Spring Break, many are planning abstinence in various activities. Tar Heel athletes, though, are at least one exception to this rule, as all spring teams and a few winter sports leftovers will see extensive action. The fifth-ranked wrestling team travels to Duke March 6-7 to attempt to pin up their sixth league cham pionship in nine years. UNC's Al Palacio, with a 37-0 slate at 1 18, will be going for his fourth consecutive ACC crown. After the ACC basketball tourna ment ends Sunday, the NCAA tournament committees will emerge from their dark caves to post the NCAA tournament bids for both the men's and women's squads. , Turning to warmer activities, the defending NCAA champion lacrosse team faces a pivotal week. On March 8th, the Tar Heels will host Pennsyl vania. But the real war will be on March 14th when the dreaded Syracuse Orangemen invade Chapel Hill to try to avenge last year's overtime tournament loss to the Tar Heels. Seats should be scarce, and be prepared for a game that will prove to be the first of many important tests for the lax team. The baseball team will cover a schedule close to most major league teams over the break. The boys of summer will entertain Rutgers March 6-8, and will then head south, like everyone else, to face South Carolina. The rest of their fun in the sun will be spent at the Shreveport Tournament from March 13-15. The men's golf team will be engaging in activities in South Carolina as well. The linksters will also spend time in Florida, along with roughly 40,000 other college students, from March 6-8 for the ImperiaLakes Classic in Lakeland FL. From there, they will head up to Columbia S.C. for the South Carolina Invatational Tournament. The women's golf team will also head south to Austin, Texas for the famous Betsy Rawls Invatational March 13-15. .. . The men's tennis team, as part of an obvious Tar Heel attack on Texas will sneak in to Corpus Christi for the H.E.B. Team Tournament March 6-8. Over the next seven days the netters will face Texas, Texas A&M, Trinity University and Rice, before winding up the Texan leg of their 87 tour against Houston. Speaking of that women's tennis team, they will also head to Rice, Houstan, Texas A&M, Southwest ern Louisiana, before breaking away from the men's team to face Tulane in New Orleans. The women's softball team wiP begin their so-called break hosting USC-Spartanburg March 7, before traveling to Georgia to face Tech and Georgia State. From there, the sluggers will head to Columbia and will then find their way to Furman for a March 14 game.

Located in NCNB Plaza Chapel Hill 967-7145 MCVisa CASH By LAURA GRIMMER Staff Writer North Carolina's women's fencing team placed fifth in the Mid-Atlantic-South NCAA Regional Qualifier this weekend in Philadelphia. The Tar Heels were seeded fifth going into the tournament, which took place at the University of Pennsylvania, and UNC coach Ron Miller had hoped for a big win over Fairleigh" Dickinson to advance to the fourth position and a berth at 'the Nationals. But it was not to be. "We fenced Fairleigh first and lost 4-9," Miller said. "I think it really brought down our level of concen tration for the rest of the tourna ment, but we still fenced well." After the loss to FDU, North Carolina also lost 4-9 to Penn. But the Tar Heels bounced back with three successive wins over William Patterson (9-2), Rutgers (9-4) and Princeton (9-3). "There's still a chance that we could go to Nationals," Miller said. "Fairleigh may not have enough varsity teams in their program to compete, and then we could go. But it doesn't appear likely." North Carolina's women did fare well in the individual competition. Nhi Lan Le shone at No. 8. Lorraine Leigh finished at 14th, Alicia Foster was 17th and Cheryl Gates was 23rd. The Tar Heel men's team fenced last Thursday at the Atlantic Coast Regional NCAA Qualifier in Dur ham, and came away with its sixth consecutive conference win over Duke and N.C. State. North Carolina came out on top with 43 bout victories, State was second with 42 and Duke finished a distant third with 26 wins. The Tar Heel win was not assured until the final bouts, when it was up to Dave Kapper from Duke to win the meet for UNC. "Kapper had to beat State's Doug Hudson in epee and then Jamal (Reimer, UNC) had to win against Bill Pritchart (NCSU) in order for us to win," coach Ron Miller said. In individual competition, the UNC sabremen came on strong as Karl Elmore and Mike Vecchiolla battled for the first- and second-place finishes. " ' ' The epee fencers had good per formances as Ravi Sawhney placed third, Reimer came in fourth and Pete Farquhar finished sixth. Cris Kaiser led the North Carolina foilsmen with a fifth-place finish. Mike Chicella and Felix Dover were seventh and eighth, respectively. Elmore, Vecchiolla, Sawhney and Kaiser were elected to the first team All-ACC, and LeBlanc, Reimer, Farquhar and Dover were named the second. Avoid the lottery blues. Apply now!
