UNC vs Cornell
Monday, January 4, 1993
Dean E. Smith Center
Chapel Hill, NC


Sorry for the delay, but I was about as excited to write this as the
team was to play the game.

Carolina played an odd game Monday night in beating Cornell 98-60.  The
team played badly at times, make dumb mistakes, and had a couple of flurries
at the bucket resulting in 5 or 6 offensive rebounds and, finally, 2 points.

The team had trouble doing the easy stuff because, they said, jet lag due
to the trip back from Hawaii.  Derrick Phelps said he'd been sleeping alot
trying to get his body back in sync and Brian Reese said he had a headache

The players are probably right.  UNC still managed to shoot 54% from the
floor and play suffocating defense most of the night.  Jeff Gaca lit up
UNC early, but the defense shut him down by midway through the first half
and Jeff wasn't heard from much again.

The best thing I saw all night was Donald Williams hitting 2 very quick
three pointers, one on the break.  He missed one right after that on another
break, a 22-footer that softly rimmed out.

The humor break of the night was provided by Williams as well.  Put in
with the Blue team at the end of the game, Donald was taken aside and
talked to by Dean for about 15 seconds.  I'm sure the gist of the conversation
was, "Get the other guys the ball".  In the next minute and a half, Donald
put in a nice 17-foot baseline jumper and a three.  The three was
uncontested.  Rodl was put in to play point.  As Donald came off, instead
of taking the accustomed seat next to Coach Smith, he tried to hide and
sit beside Montross.  Eric moved Donald in the right direction, with plenty
of laughter in evidence.

It was a good game to get the rust off after the post-Hawaii layoff in
order to get ready for NC State and the rest of the upcoming ACC schedule.
Here's hoping Carolina is a bit more successful versus State than last
season.
