DTHJim Holm UNC's 89-86 double-overtime victory eac gib caooinas women By BOBBY McCROSKEY Staff Writer The Wake Forest women's basket ball team pounded the Tar Heels, 77 65, behind the inside-outside duo of Deacs Beth Davis and Jenny Mitchell Saturday afternoon in Carmichael Auditorium. Wake upped its record to 1 1-4, 2-1 in the ACC, while UNC dropped to 9 5, 0-2 in the league. The Deacons avenged last year's 87-75 overtime loss to North Carolina in Carmichael. UNC leads the all-time series between the schools 26-6, but all six losses have come in the last five years. Davis and Mitchell combined for 54 points and 23 rebounds. Davis, a guardforward from Greenfield, Ind., had 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the floor, including 1 1 points in the final six minutes of the game to ice the win for the Deacons. "We knew down the stretch that we had to pull together," Davis, the out side part of the tandem, said. "I didn't feel particularly hot from the field. I just tried to do what I can. The key is not to force it." Perhaps the most telling aspect of the game was Wake's sizable re bounding advantage. The Deacons outrebounded the Tar Heels 57-31, largely due to the fact that North Carolina shot less than 33 percent from the floor. "We knew going in that rebounds would be important," Mitchell said. "We felt we could keep them off the boards, and we didn't think that they boxed out that well defensively. We expected a very physical game." Though Wake dominated UNC on the boards, the Tar Heels had a chance to pull out the victory late in the con test. After Davis gave Wake a 10 point lead, 52-42, with a jumper at the 11:36 mark, UNC freshman guard Tonya Sampson scored four consecu tive points to key a 13-4 Tar Heel run. 89-86 squeaker is UNC's By JAMIE ROSENBERG Senior Writer CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. University Hall sounds more like an opera house than a college basketball arena. Maybe that's why Virginia's home court provided the ultimate setting for Saturday night's pointcounterpoint duel between floor leaders King Rice and John Crotty. Every time the Cavaliers Crotty would sink a clutch shot and bring the capacity crowd of 8,864 to a crescendo, UNC's Rice would stop the music, hitting a crucial bucket of his own. Only after two encores and 43 points between them did Rice win the battle, canning an off-balance, turnaround jumper in the lane with three seconds left in the second overtime to break an 86-86 tie and pave the way for an 89-86 UNC victory. "That was just a great college bas ketball game," Rice said, "the kind of game you want to be involved in. Seconds earlier, with :26 to play, Crotty had tied the game with two free Rice the hero By SCOn GOLD Assistant Sports Editor CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Yeah, so Virginia senior point guard John Crotty poured in 29 points in North Carolina's 89-86 double overtime ACC victory Saturday night. So what that he shot 5-of-l 1 from 3 point land. Grabbed five rebounds. Only committed one turnover in 48 minutes on the floor. Yeah, rumor has it his eight assists against the Tar Heels also thrust him past ex-Cav Jeff Jones now UVa.'s head coach to the top of Virginia's all-time assist list. Big deal. King Rice has arrived in the ACC. UNC's senior point guard, though he has never received the hype surround ing current conference greats like Crotty, N.C. State's Chris Corchiani or Geor giaTech's Kenny Anderson, has finally found his niche. Rice's status as UNC's floor leader was in question throughout the early season, partly due to flashes of brilliance from backups Kenny Harris and Derrick Phelps. But head coach Dean Smith's recent confidence in Rice has left critics and opponents shaking their collective heads in disbelief. When UNC point guard Emily Johnson hit a breakaway lay up with 5:5 1 left, the Tar Heels pulled within 56-55. Then Davis took over, scoring seven of Wake's next 10 points, and North Carolinanever got closer than five points the rest of the way. "Rebounding and shooting definitely hurt us," UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "We were getting open, but we just missed the shots. Defen sively, I thought we played well enough to win. We just didn't have any offense. They gave us the 3-pointer. We just weren't making them. "What'd we have? 65 points? That's unacceptable." Sampson agreed that rebounding was the difference for the Tar Heels. "We just didn't rebound at all," she said. "We talked about it at halftime, but they still killed us on the boards. Re bounding and missing open shots really hurt us." Defensively, the Tar Heels forced 28 Deacon turnovers and even held Wake scoreless for two stretches of three minutes each in the second half. But they didn't score much themselves, and Wake's lead proved to be too much to overcome. North Carolina finished the game 23 of 70 from the floor, including a dismal 0 for 9 from the bonusphere. North Carolina tried to use its supe rior speed to get baskets in transition and were somewhat successful. But when the Tar Heels had to resort to a half-court offense, they looked lost and their offensive attack stalled. Four UNC starters had averaged over 1 0 points per game going into Saturday's matchup, but only junior forward LeAnn Kennedy (14 points) and Sampson (15 points) managed to get into double figures. Center Kim Oden, who normally starts, came off the bench to collect 14 points in 27 minutes of action. "The number one factor today was See WOMEN, page 7 throws. Rice then took over on the UNC end, letting the clock run down to 1 0 seconds before calling play "44p" and making his final assault on Crotty. The senior point guard drove right, then spun left as Crotty chested him the whole way. With dishing off furthest from his mind, Rice pulled up in the paint, sneaking a shot over Crotty and Kenny Turner that rolled on the heel of the rim before dropping in. "I was right there in front of him," Crotty said afterward. "I couldn't have played better D' without fouling him." Virginia called timeout at :0 1 , but the Cavs were out of timeouts, and even Crotty was out of options as Rice sank 1 of 2 technical foul shots. Henrik Rodl inbounded to Rice to let the last tick run off the clock. "I think it has to be our team's most significant win," UNC coach Dean Smith said. "It's quality opposition on the road with a great Virginia crowd." Rice's heroics were loudest on a night rich in clutch late-game performances. Crotty, who finished with a game-high in battle of King Rice While his minutes have blossomed from 23.6 per game through UNC's first five games to 30.8 the last seven, the change in his stats has mirrored his expanding role. After averaging three points a game through UNC's first five contests, Rice has averaged over eight tallies in the last five, bringing his season UNC's Heather Thompson drives in ( if i , r ikff S -3 If im Cs. h t Jfv jV v 7 v t .11 i J it 1 11th straight 29 points, played 48 of 50 minutes and give Virginia its third life by sinking an impossible off-balance 3-point attempt with 1 2 seconds left in the first overtime, tying the score at 78 and forcing a second extra period. He also passed up his coach, Jeff Jones, as Virginia's all time assist leader with a dish to Stith in the second half. And Pete Chilcutt, UNC's 6-foot-1 0 senior forward, poured in a career-high 25 points, 16 of which came in the second half and seven more in the two overtime periods. "Both teams spent all they had chasing each other through two overtimes," Smith said. "Chilcutt and Rice were just tremendous down the stretch. It was a crazy sort of game." Such efforts even drowned out those of the teams' marquee performers, Virginia's Bryant Stith and UNC's Rick Fox. The two leading scorers went at each other throughout the game, fin ishing with 22 and 21 points, respec tively. But when Fox fouled out with 5 1 See UVA, page 5 point guards average up to 5.8. "He gets a lot of criticism," UNC senior forward Rick Fox said, "but when the ACC season starts, he's ready to go. The recently updated chapter of the Rice saga, of course, is his last-second heroics Saturday night. With 26 ticks remaining in the game's second overtime, Crotty canned two free throws that tied the game for the umpteenth time. Rice brought the ball upcourt, holding for the last shot. With three seconds left, he blew by Crotty through the right side of the lane, shifted his weight and glanced the ball off the glass for a two-point Tar Heel lead. "For my size, I'm kind of a strong guard," Rice said. "When I get inside the paint, I think I'm a pretty good shooter. I was leaning in, looking to get some contact. Maybe I twisted on a few, but they went in." "Twisted on a few" may be somewhat of an understatement. Rice repeatedly frustrated Crotty by throwing up hor rific off-balance monsters that fortu nately for the Tar Heels went in more often than not. For the game, Rice shot 5-of-9 from the field for 14 points. His See RICE, page 7 9 noops DTHSarah King Wake's 77-65 win in Carmichael
