SPORTING SCENE Daniels Has Big Week For Surging Wolf pack Doug Rutter Sports Editor Ricks Daniels had arguably (he biggest week of his blossoming basket ball career last week for the North Carolina Stale Wolfpack Fhe West Brunswick High School alumnus hit the game-winning shot last Monday against Tennessee and then scored 13 points Wednesday to help lead the Wolfpack in its upset of Virginia. N.C. State Coach Ix's Robinson is veiy high on Daniels, who transferred to the Raleigh university this season alter two outstanding years at Ander son (S.C.) Junior College. "He's one of the big reasons we're turning things around." Robinson pointed out in a telephone conversa tion last Thursday. Entering Monday night's game agairs: North Carolina A&T. Daniels w as averaging 6.1 points and 4.5 rebounds |>er game. I lis 4 5 rebounds are second best on the team. Daniels has made 43 percent on his field goal attempts this season and has connected on a remarkable 41 percent from three-point range. He has made f>7 percent of his free throws. While Daniels may be raising some eyebrows elsewhere in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the North Carolina State coaching staff isn't surprised by his play. "He's doing what we felt he was capable of doing w hen we recruit ed him." Robinson said of the junior guard forward from I.ongwood "He's a complete player. He defends, he shoots from the outside, he can drive to the basket. His overall game, it's hard to find many weaknesses. He can do it all." l,ast Monday at Tennessee. Daniels sank an 18-foot jump shot with nine seconds left in overtime to lift the Wolfpack to a 72-70 win. Two nights lat er. Daniels scored 13 points, pulled down six rebounds and had a career-high seven assists as the Wolfpack knocked off one of the ACC's best teams. Virginia. 67-54. Daniels was one of the first players off the bench during the first half of the season. He moved into the starting lineup Jan. 2<> against Georgia Tech and has started every game since Robinson indicated that he wanted to insert Daniels into the starting lineup earlier this the season, but the ll>91 West Brunsw ick grad was playing so well coming off the bench. "We fell in November after a couple of practices that he had the skills and the talent to play." Robinson said, "l ike a lot of new players, he wasn't confident in our system right away." Now that Daniels is comfortable in the Wolfpack system, his quickness and good reactions allow him to do a lot of things on the basketball court, both offensively and defensively. "He can really defend the ball. He can rebound. He has a knack of being around the ball defensively." Robinson said. "Offensively, he comes up with a lot of loose balls." Robinson admits that Daniels is a streaky shooter. But unlike most streaky shooters. Daniels doesn't hurt his team when he's having an off night. He still hits some of his shots and makes a positive contribution. "When he gets in the groove like he v\as last night you just feel like he's going to score," Robinson said of the Virginia game. Daniels shot 4-for-4 in the first half and 5-for-K overall against the Cavaliers. Robinson said Daniels has an e 'sy-going demeanor on and off the court. "Ricky 's pretty quiet but he certainly is a leader. He's not real vocal. He leads bv example " Moody Scores Career-High 29 As West Girls Stun Wolfpack ? ? i mu ii Kl> I II K B\ now. ihc Whitcvillc High School girls' basket hall team must he gelling sick ani) I i red of Donicia Mood\ I he West Brunswick freshman scored a career-high 2C> points l-'ri day night to lead the 1 .ady Trojans to a 57-55 comeback win over the vis iting Wolf pack in an important Wac camaw Conference game.
