UNC vs North Carolina State
Thursday, January 7, 1993
Reynolds Coliseum
Raleigh, NC


Oh, the pain.  Oh, the agony.  North Carolina State, saddled with the
loss of three players due to academic problems, ran into a Carolina team
that played its finest half of basketball in a long time during the first
half of this game.

Final score: 100-67

It was known before the game that freshman sensation Chuck Kornegay wouldn't
play due to a case of the flu.  However, before the game, it was announced
that Kornegay, starter Donnie Seale, and reserve Jamie Knox were being
declared academically ineligible by the University.  All three have an
appeal process for this action by the school.  However, the appeal process
would not come in time to help State versus Carolina.

The halftime score might not have been 51-30, but Carolina would have been
ahead by a good margin even if State had all three players back.  Carolina
moved the ball well, got the ball inside, and shot the ball well from the
perimeter if the inside pass wasn't there.  In the last 10 minutes of the
first half, Donald Williams hit 4 three-point shots and Henrik Rodl added
another to push the Carolina lead from 8 points to the 21 halftime margin.

State made a few small runs in the second half, but could never get closer
than 19 after Carolina had pushed the lead to 30.  Carolina struggled for
a bit when Derrick Phelps went down with a possible concussion after being
run into a blind screen.  His status for the game versus Maryland this
Saturday is unknown.  After a few minutes, Carolina's offense and defense
got back into the swing and began rebuilding the league.  It was also around
this time when the State players' legs went out on them.

Dean went to the bench often in the second half, tossing all of the bench
in for the last 3 minutes or so.

Carolina played outstanding defense the entire game.

Anyone else who saw the game understand the refereeing?  10-4 for State at
one point in the first half.  Overall, the officials had called at least
37 fouls at the 10 minute mark of the second half.  Well over a foul per
minute.  They must have realized this, because the refs mostly swallowed
their whistles for the rest of the game, otherwise the game would likely
still be going on.  Plus, I have a question about that excellent offensive
move by Newman in the first half, where he shoved Sullivan out of the way
to get a clear jumper.  Where is that in the rule book?  I might be alright
in some pickup games if I can master that one.

Also, I'd like to comment on the knowledgeable crowd over at Reynolds.
Not too many catcalls at bad calls or no-calls (although there were many
bad calls) and the students near the court stayed the whole game and were
supportive and loud the entire time.  Nice job.



Short player reviews:

Phelps - superb.  8 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists before going down with
the injury.

Reese - excellent game both offensively and defensively.  Made some nice
moves to the hoop.

Montross - played a fine game, especially denying the ball inside to State
center Kevin Thompson.

Williams - what can you say?  5-8 from behind the three-point line and
7-11 overall.  23 points in 21 minutes and he played some solid defense,
too.  His minutes should start pushing 25 per game soon.

Lynch - a monster on the boards and had a very quiet 21 points.

Sullivan - nice, solid game from Pat.  Had a real nice catch of a long pass
he converted for a dunk.

Salvadori - reasonable game.  Hampered by some odd foul calls that got him
into trouble early.

Rodl - solid game with some nice passing.  Very active defensively.

Calabria - played some good minutes at point when Phelps went down.  Had
to be set after his first stint in the second half, after committing a
dumb foul and dribbling BACKWARDS into a trap.  Played well after that.

Cherry - did some nice things during his time on the floor.  Looking like
a solid mid-level European or Aussie league player.

Wenstrom - did OK in his limited minutes (although he did get more than
expected when Montross and Sal both had 4 fouls with over 8 minutes left.)

Geth - really is a good rebounder and is playing well in his few minutes.


Davis - he is very quick and athletic.  Made some really strong moves to the
hoop in his few minutes on the floor.  I haven't heard anything, but it
wouldn't surprise me a bit to see Larry transfer after this year.
