r 4The Daily Tar HeelFriday, January 1 7, 1 992 Super 'Nova shoots into Chapel Hill with upset in mind By Stewart Chlsam Assistant Sports Editor Aftereight games, their worst start in 60 years and losses to three preseason Top 25 teams, the Villanova Wildcats had already seen a Spectrum of emo tions and a Rainbow of opponents. The beginning of Villanova's up-and-down season started strictly on the decline. The Wildcats dropped their first three games and slumped to a 2-6 start, losing to LaSal Ie in Philadelphia's Spec trum Dec. 9 and dropping two games at the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii. But since then the 'Cats, who play Men's Basketball Sunday, 2:45 p.m., Smith Center 14th-ranked UNC Sunday at 2:45 p.m. in the Smith Center (CBS), have shot from the down-in-the-dumps blue side of the spectrum straight over to red hot. After losing to St. John's 79-69 Jan. 2, the Wildcats, now 6-6, 4-1 in the B ig East, have ticked off four wins in a row, defeating No. 22 Georgetown, Boston College, No. 5 Connecticut and No. 21 Seton Hall in a come-from-behind over time thriller Monday night. In the Seton Hall game, the Wildcats trailed by 1 1 with 2:20 remaining, but tallied 15 of the game's next 19 points to send the game into overtime and eventually upset the Pirates 73-68. Leading the Wildcat charge have been shooting guards Lance Miller and Greg Woodard. In Villanova's five Big East games, Miller, a 6-foot-6 junior, has averaged 1 9.5 points per game, up from 13.3 in his non-conference contests. Similarly, Woodard, a 6-7 senior, has tallied 16.4 ppg in Big East games, a four-point-per-game improvement from his non-conference outings. Woodard, the 'Cats' second-leading scorer a year ago as a starter, has served mainly as a sixth man this season, hit ting 29 of 71 3-point attempts. James Bryson has also sparked 'Nova, putting up his biggest numbers in the biggest games. The 6-10 center had 19 points and 10 rebounds against Con necticut before notching 1 7 points and a career-high 16 rebounds against Seton Hall. On the season, Bryson has tallied 10.4 ppg and 6.2 rebounds per contest. Villanova's other key players are: 6 9 forward Marc Dowdell (9.1 ppg); 5 1 1 guard Chris Walker (8.3 ppg, 3.7 assists per outing); 6-6 forward Calvin Byrd (4.9 ppg, 2. 1 rpg); and 6-7 forward Aaron Bain (6.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg). Massimino, the Wildcats' 18th-year head coach, will be vying for his 350th win as the Villanova mentor Sunday, having compiled a 349-226 record and winning one national championship and at least a share of two Big East titles with the Wildcats. Traditionally, Villanova is at its best when it keeps the score low. The Wild cats are 39-7 in the last three-and-one-half seasons when keeping opposing teams under 70 points. When oppo nents have scored more than 70, the Wildcats are 20-45. In three of the 'Cats' six victories this season, 'Nova has held the losers under the 70-point cap.
