State head basket ball coach Les Robinson was riding high in his first season with the Wolfpack. Robinson, a 1965 graduate of NCSU, guided the Pack to a 20-win campaign, including impressive tri umphs over next-door neighbors Duke and North Carolina. But in the early going this season, the "Fire" seems to be missing in Raleigh. So does the "Ice." Chris Corchiani and Rodney Mon roe, arguably the finest backcourt tan dem in ACC history, have moved on to the NBA. And with "Fire and Ice" gone, the Pack is lukewarm at best. But when the Wolfpack, (8-6, 2-2 in the ACC) hits the Reynolds Coliseum hardwood tonight at 9 to tangle with the Tar Heels (13-2. 3-1 in the ACC), the Pack just might heat it up. Anything is possible in a ri valry of such epic proportions. Any thing is possible with Tom Gugliotta. "Googs," a 6-foot-10 senior from Huntington Station, N.Y., has Tom Cugliotta personally seen to it that State has sur vived the post- Fire-n-Ice era. A season ago in Raleigh, Gugliotta lit up the Tar Heels for 28 points and 1 0 rebounds en route to a 97-91 Pack vic tory. But no one really noticed. Why? The sharp-shooting Monroe scored 37. But this season, with the overbearing shadow of Corchiani and Monroe no longer blocking the spotlight, Gugliotta is the man in Raleigh. In some circles, Gugliotta's name has become synony mous with "NBA Lottery Pick." Gugliotta, who played his prep ball at Walt Whitman High School, has been poetry in motion in 1992. "Googs" has done it all, averaging 23.5 points (second-best in the ACC) and a league-best 1 0.3 rebounds per game. Gugliotta also leads the conference in 3-pointers per game (3.3) and is third in 3-point field goal percentage (42.6 percent). Gugliotta has a couple of competent frontcourt mates in junior KevinThomp- I - I ill SPRING BREAK '92 DAYTONA INNS 2 Oceanfront Motels BROADWAY-2 bioc to Bandshell & Boardwalk SEABREEZE i block to SEABREEZE entertainment area POOLDECK PARTIES & LOUNGES DRINK, DANCE, AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS 1-800-874-1822 icken steaks children's menu e Plaza Mall, 1 1 967 - Serving lunch and dinner daily and Enter immediately after gradua tion without waiting for the results of your State Boards.

USAF HEALTH PROFESSIONS COLLECT 919-850-9549 UNC women ByJayStroble Staff Writer The overachieving North Carolina women's basketball team (13-2, 3-2 in the ACC) is set to defend its Top 25 ranking tonight at 6 versus the 20th ranked N.C. State Wolfpack in Carmichael Auditorium. - The Tar Heels, who were tied with Texas Tech at No. 25 in Monday's Associated Press poll, secured their first Top 25 ranking since the end of the 1985-86 season. The ranking came after a hard fought 72-68 loss to top ranked Maryland Saturday and an 84 49 blowout victory against Loyola (Md.) Sunday. The win against Loyola was the 350th for Tar Heel head coach Sylvia Hatchell. UNC is led by sophomore guard Tonya Sampson, who enters tonight's game averaging 15.7 points per con test, and freshman phenom forward Charlotte Smith, who tallies 13.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Smith, pickedasthepreseasonACC Freshman of the Year, has lived up to those lofty expectations, earning con ference rookie-of-the-week honors three times. Directing the Tar Heels at point guard is senior Emily Johnson. John son has dished out 89 assists this year to move to third place on the UNC son and freshman Mark Davis. Thomp son, a 6-11, 225-pound space eater, mans the middle for State. Last year, Thompson hit 60.5 percent from the field, an N.C. State single-season record. This year, Thompson's percentage is even higher (60.9). His 14.9 ppg and 7.7 rpg both rank second on the team. At small forward, the 6-5 Davis has stepped in admirably for junior Bryant Feggins. Feggins, a double-figure scorer for State last season, suffered a season ending knee injury during the preseason. Enter Davis, a versatile performer who has the size to scrap down low but prefers to pop the 3-pointer. The Utica, Miss., native has averaged 10.9 points and 4.6 boards per contest. Davis ranks second in the ACC in 3-point field goal percentage (43.5 percent). In the backcourt, Monroe and Corchiani left shoes that are simply too MP rib grilled tuna salad fajitas 5 South Elliott Road 7064 brunch on Sunday from 11:30-2 1992 BSN STUDENTS. the Air Force host cold Pack career assist list. Sophomore Sylvia Crawley, averaging 8.3 ppg and a team-high 19 blocks, is an intimidat ing presence in the post. TheWolfpack(9-6,2-4intheACC) will have its work cut out for it The Tar Heels sport a 9-1 home record, and the Wolfpack a perennial fa vorite in the conference is just 1 -3 in ACC road games. All-America candidate and senior center Rhonda Mapp leads the Pack in scoring ( 1 9 ppg) and rebounding ( 1 0. 1 rpg), and can sink the three. Mapp leads the team in 3-point field goal percentage at 40.7 percent. Other key players for State include sophomore guard Tammy Gibson (15.1 ppg and a team-leading 16 blocks) and team assist leader Danyel Parker. The Wolfpack will have history on its side for tonight's game. N.C. State has won the last seven games against the Tar Heels and holds a 35-1 1 ad vantage in the series. The last UNC victory against the Pack came in double overtime Feb. 9, 1988, at Chapel Hill. Last season, State downed the Tar Heels 79-69 at Carmichael and triumphed 90-70 at Reynold's Coliseum in Raleigh. The Wolfpack has been slumping of late though, having lost four of its last five games. big to fill. Migjen Bakalli, a 6-6 sopho more that was State's sixth man a year ago, hit 42 of 88 trifectas, ranking the lanky left-hander among the ACC's best. This season, Bakalli has improved his ball-handling and inside shooting touch, but he has lost some of his out side accuracy. Bakalli has connected on 29.5 percent of his treys (23 of 78). Still, he is a double-figure scorer ( 10. 1 ppg). Freshman Lakista McCuller manned the point guard spot most of the year before sitting out three games for aca demic reasons. McCuller returned to action Saturday in a 78-75 win at Clemson but did not start. Bakalli and McCuller have been the backcourt starters most of the year, but freshman Curtis Marshall and junior Donnie Seale got the starting nod against Clemson, combining for 22 points and 13 assists. Spurs oust Brown after 21-17 start The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO Former UNC basketball player Larry Brown was fired Tuesday as coach of the San Antonio Spurs and replaced by Bob Bass, the team's vice president of basketball op erations. The Spurs struggled to a 2 1 -1 7 record this season after two years as Midwest Division champions. "Larry was more and more feeling that I didn't have the confidence in him that he would have liked to have had," owner Red McCombs said. McCombs said Brown did not ap pear at a meeting Tuesday, and later told team officials he wanted to be fired. ' "He asked to be made sure to be clear' that he was not resigning, that he was being terminated," McCombs said. "It's a very unusual situation to be asked to be terminated." The decision comes after a day of, reports that McCombs had first fired, then rehired Brown after a heated meet ing with players and coaches. Forward ' Sean Elliott declined comment about the meeting, except to say, "There was a lot of yelling."
