things he does seem incredible."
Smith praised Lynch, who added six
assists and four steals. "Fortunately, we
had George Lynch on our side," Smith
said. "George did everything for us in
the second half without scoring. He was
the only one coming off with defensive
rebounds.
"We couldn't keep them off the
boards."
In fact, the only big negative for ,
North Carolina in this game was on the
glass, where the smaller Monarchs held
a 38-36 rebounding advantage.
UNC's aggressiveness led to a 17-6
run to open the second half, with Wil
liams and Montross each scoring six. A
Montross dunk off a pass from Rodl
capped the streak.
Montross said the team's strong per
formance would give the team confi
dence for the rest of the season. "I like
everything about this team. I think we
have to control the ball a little bit more
and not allow so many turnovers.
"I think our team's jelling as a group.
We understand the team's concepts on
defense and are a better defensive team."
UNC started the game in impressive
fashion, racing to a 10-2 lead courtesy

Williams answers call
By Warren Hynes
Sports Editor
The Void stood some 500 miles
away, stationed on the court of the
World's Most Famous Arena.
He scored six points on 3-of-3 shoot
ing, filling in admirably as his team
defeated the PortlandTrailblazers 101
85. Hubert Davis is no longer a starter,
and he is no longer a North Carolina
Tar Heel. But he is still hitting his
jumpers now for the New . York
Knicks.
So as Chapel Hill settled in for
another basketball season Tuesday
night, the Tar Heel faithful sat in their
Smith Center seats and looked with
anticipation at the shooting guard po
sition. The Void had left 21.4 points
per game behind, and, well, who would
replace him?
The sophomore figured he'd try,
and he trotted onto the court, the first
UNC starter announced before the
game.
He scored his first points 51 sec
onds into the contest, knocking in a
pair of free throws to give his team a 4
0 lead. The sophomore scored his first
field goal 1:15 later. On a fast break,
he passed to George Lynch, who
dished the ball back to him, and he
dropped in a layup.
Donald Williams proceeded to score
17 more points in the game. Playing
mostly at shooting guard, he fell 0.4
points shy of The Void's 1991-92
average.
As the final seconds ticked down in
No. 7 North Carolina's 1 19-82 win
against Old Dominion, Donald Will
iams smiled just abit, but he smiled.
He was beginning to fill The Void's
place. And you could feel Hubert
Davis' approving grin from 500 miles
away.
"I think in the first half , I was a little
nervous coming
out," said Will
iams, who
played 25 min
utes. "The game
was in such a fast
pace, I was all
rush, rush. But
then in the sec
ond half, I settled
down and got
more in the
A 1
Donald Williams
game.
In the first half, Williams scored
eight points, canning all six of his free
throws and shooting 1 of 4 from the
floor. But in the second half, Will
iams caught fire, nailing all four of his
field goals, including two 3-pointers
in a span of 42 seconds. Add in 3-of-4
shooting from the foul line, and
Williams led all scorers with 2 1 points.
But Donald Williams can do more.
His coach says so.
"Donald's played better than he
has tonight," Dean Smith said. "He
worked hard defensively. He wasn't
as sharp offensively as he's been in
fall practices.
"You didn't see the real Donald
Williams."
The 6-foot-2, 183-pound Gamer
native had built what many would call
a "quiet" 13 points midway through
the second half. Nine of his points had
come from the foul line, not from the
top of the key. But at the 1 1 :08 mark,
Williams stepped behind the 3-point
line on the left wing. He took the ball;
shoot score. UNC by 26.
After ODU scored five straight
points, Williams stepped to the same
spot at the 10:26 mark. He took the
ball; shoot score. UNC by 24.
Donald Williams will not erase the
echoes of "Huuuube" that still bounce
around the Smith Center.
But if Tuesday night was any indi
cation, he'll fill the void.
Correction
In the Dec. 1 Daily Tar Heel, the
Jan. 9 men's basketball game against
Maryland was omitted from a listing
of the 1992-93 UNC men's basketball
schedule. UNC will play Maryland in
Chapel Hill at 4 p.m.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the error.

NCSU player's suicide forces
media to look beyond boxscore
N.C. State Basketball Media Day.
TV cameras and curious reporters anx
iously awaited head coach Les Robinson
and his team.
Finally, they emerged, a few at a
time. Many were pounced on by hungry
reporters. Donnie Seale, Kevin Thomp
son, Mark Davis, even the freshmen
were called over for interviews.
I admit it. I was one of them. Vying
for time to interview the "key players"
for this year's team. That' s what report
ers do get the story.
"Let's go talk to that guy," said Jen
nifer, my roommate who begged to come
along for the experience. She had
pointed to where the "other" players
were milling around.
"I don't have any questions for him,"
I replied, scoffing at the thought of
wasting my time. They were "nobod
ies" as far as the news world was con
cerned. But I directed my attention toward
them anyway. They were all laughing
and joking around. Basically having
fun while the "big men" on their team
were being scrutinized by the media. A

Staff Writer
few of them looked longingly at the
reporters, almost begging to be inter
viewed. Others were perfectly happy in
the shadows.
"Come on, I want to talk to him,"
Jennifer said again. "You don't have to
quote him, just talk to him."
Again I dismissed her as we watched
him more closely. He had moved away
from his teammates, standing on the
side of the court, but he still served as a
magnet. Everyone on the team or bas
ketball staff was drawn to him at some
point in the day. He smiled constantly
and made whomever he talked to smile,
too.
He was the type of person I definitely
would have talked to and felt comfort
able around in a different situation. But
today I was a reporter, and he was not
news.
At least not until Monday night, Nov.
23, when he shot himself before N.C.
State's second exhibition game of the
season. Anthony Robinson. I had to
look up the number on his jersey in the
media guide that day to even tell Jenni
fer who she was looking at.
The 6-foot-10 junior forward from
Havelock was not oneof this team's key
players, but he was loved by his team
mates and coaches.
Robinson played 146 minutes in his
career with the Wolfpack and scored
only 24 points. He made a career-high
two field goals against Florida Interna
tional his freshman season. These are
not newsworthy numbers.
With his suicide, though, Robinson
has made the news. Reporters now
scramble to uncover his life and possi
bly the reason for his actions.
Robinson had walked past me on
Media Day, and we exchanged polite
hellos. His blue-green eyes sparkled
with delight at the events going on
around him. He wasn't bothered by the
media flocking to his teammates. He
was one of those enjoying the shadows.
