Assistant Sports Editor
This season marks the 14th time that North Carolina has earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Tar Heels claimed each of their last four national championships from the top spot and have reached the Final Four eight times as a No. 1 seed.
North Carolina didnt have to wait long to hear its name called on Selection Sunday as the Tar Heels took one of four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament. UNC earned the top draw in the Midwest region, meaning it will play in St. Louis if it reaches the Sweet 16. The Tar Heels first contest will be against either Lamar or Vermont on Friday in the Greensboro Coliseum. The No. 2 seed in UNCs region is Kansas, setting up a potential Elite Eight meet-
ing between coach Roy Williams and the team he coached before taking the UNC job. Georgetown holds the No. 3 seed and Michigan, who the Tar Heels beat in the 1993 championship game, is No. 4. No top seed has ever lost its first game, and if the Tar Heels continue that trend they will face the winner of Creighton and Alabama. Creighton is led by Sporting News second-team All-American Doug McDermott, UNC forward Harrison Barnes underlooked high school teammate. Also in UNCs region is N.C. State, which was given the No. 11 seed. The

UNC graduate Bob Schurmeier has nearly 30 years of experience in Charlotte law enforcement and now his expertise is bringing him back to Chapel Hill. Schurmeier is president of Investigative Security Services, a consulting firm in Huntersville, N.C., that has been hired to investigate police policies in the wake of the November raid of a protest at the former Yates Motor Company building. Schurmeier will attend the community policing advisory committees meeting Wednesday to discuss what revisions need to be made to the police policy
manual. Chapel Hill police hired Investigative Security Services in January to improve the departments policies in the aftermath of the Yates incident. Schurmeiers company is a law enforcement consulting firm that works with clients to develop security strategies and technology. The firm, mostly led by retired police officers, also advises clients about law enforcement policies. The town will pay the consulting firm $7,500 for its services. But Town Council rejected a request for money from the policing advisory committee to hire an independent investigator, a decision that has led some to question town officials ability to objectively review the incident. While an independent investigator would examine the events of the Yates incident, the consulting firm will work on revising

Ron Bogle, chairman of the policing advisory committee, said the committees role is to make policy recommendations to the police rather than investigate specific incidents. But he said a factual timeline would have enabled the committee to know if the police followed existing policies during the raid and what policies need to be improved. The policy recommendations should have a factual basis,
The UNC system benefits the states economy by as much as $10.4 billion, according to a study completed by N.C. State University economics professor Michael Walden. Walden was asked to present updated findings of his study at last months UNC system UNC Board of Governors meeting. But economists have criticized Waldens analysis, and some Republican state legislators believe his work was commissioned to defend public funding for higher education, rather than to provide accurate data for decision makers. Rep. Rick Glazier,
Contested findings
Waldens $10.4 billion claim comes from his study, published in January 2009 as part of the UNC Tomorrow Initiative, a long-term strategic plan for the university system. The study used 2006 as a benchmark for measurement. Last month, Walden updated and spoke about his findings at a Board of Governors meeting that was centered around tuition and fee increases and financial aid. But economists have criticized Waldens analysis, particularly a claim that for every
$1 invested in the system by the N.C. General Assembly, the state receives between $1.37 and $2.11 in tax revenue. Economic impact studies, like Dr. Waldens, are fundamentally misleading, said Jay Schalin, director of state policy at the Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, a conservative think tank. Schalin said the study ignores marginal thinking, meaning it assumes the first dollar spent on the university has the same impact as the last dollar spent. Policy makers are therefore making poor decisions, he said. They are feeling that they can address the economic needs of the state simply by throwing money at the university system. John Siegfried, professor of economics at Vanderbilt University, has written about economic impact studies such as Waldens and said they rarely

Apple Valley, Minn., police were called to the Hayes Arena around 8 p.m. Jan. 30 after receiving reports of a man erratically driving a Zamboni (those big things that smooth the ice after its been skated on). Joel Brust, 34, told officers that he had been drinking at his home (pregaming) before coming into work. A urine test revealed that Brust had a blood-alcohol level of .32. According to Wikipedia, thats how drunk you are when you pee on yourself. Brust was charged with four counts of drunken driving. Buzzkill.

A gunfire exchange between two groups in an East Rosemary Street parking lot early Saturday morning left cars damaged and police searching for answers. Shots were fired around 2:35 a.m. near Municipal Parking Lot 2, according to police reports. Reports state that two groups
of males exchanged fire before fleeing. There were no reported injuries, but about $700 of damage to nearby vehicles was reported. Brian Krug, a bartender at Top of the Hill, said he was working at the time the shots were fired. One of the guys was out smoking on the porch, he said. He heard a loud, deep boom followed by a lot of high-pitched shorter ones. Krug said the staff knew it was gunfire, but didnt hear anything else until police arrived at the scene 5 to 10 minutes later. UNC students received an
Alert Carolina email Saturday night about the incident. We issue the alert because of its proximity to campus, and Chapel Hills request for further information from the public, UNC Department of Public Safety spokesman Randy Young said in an email. Young said DPS, which doesnt have jurisdiction in the case, had no further information. Ross Moll, a manager at R&R Grill, said he thinks incidents like this happen when bars close early, letting patrons out into the street where bar security cant keep fights from escalating.
On the street, really no one can come other than police to step in between them, he said. Im almost glad we closed early that night. But some employees at nearby businesses including Sakura, Coldstone Creamery and Starbucks said they had not heard about the incident. Those who did know about the incident had mixed reactions. Starbucks employee and UNC senior Kassey Krause said she and her co-workers try not to walk alone at night after work, but will have to be extra careful in light of the event.
We have to consider safety, she said. But Pat Thirakoun, a manager at Sakura, said he isnt worried that the incident will impact business. Theyve got good policemen patrolling around here. I think its pretty safe, Thirakoun said. According to a press release, the Chapel Hill Police Department is investigating the incident and urges anyone with information to call its office at 919-968-2760.

An Orange County nonprofit has formally appealed the Universitys plan to modify its animal research facility, citing concerns about the facilitys environmental record. Preserve Rural Orange is appealing UNCs effort to consolidate the facilitys wastewater treatment plant following the 2009 finding that some wastewater had leaked into Collins Creek. County residents have in recent months expressed concern about The Bingham Facility and the Universitys transparency in its plans for expansion. In 2009, an unknown amount of wastewater spilled into Collins Creek, which connects to Jordan Lake, prompting a notice of violation from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This caused neighbors to be fearful of possible problems with the facilitys infrastructure, said Laura Streitfeld, the chairwoman of the board of directors of Preserve Rural Orange. The University has been conducting animal research at the site, which is located in Bingham Township, since 1972, said Robert Lowman, the associate vice chancellor for research. The Universitys plan for the animal research facility states that it will need to dispose of more than 3,000 gallons of wastewater per day. There is a county ordinance that requires a wastewater treatment facility that disposes more than 3,000 gallons of wastewater a day to acquire a special use permit, said John Runkle, an environmental attorney for Preserve Rural Orange. There is a lot of waste going into the ground down water, Runkle said. It certainly could leak into nearby streams. But the wastewater treatment plant is not a building, and the county only has jurisdiction over buildings, Lowman said. Officials from the University were under the impression that they did not have to obtain a special use permit because the wastewater treatment is not a separate building, Lowman said. We asked the county to confirm that, Lowman said. The county originally sent a letter back that they agree. I guess (Preserve Rural Orange) doesnt think thats right. The animal research facility mainly holds dogs, like beagles, that naturally have hemophilia, Lowman said. Several of the research projects have contributed to developing hemophilia treatments currently on the market, he added. Walt Lobotsky, who filed the appeal in conjunction with Preserve Rural Orange, said he is concerned about the plan. One issue is the lack of concern or basic consideration for the neighbors during the whole planning and construction of the facility, which also includes construction and facility noise, and annoyance from barking dogs.

dth/chloe stephenson Emily Bowles, director of communications at the Ackland Art Museum, talks about the history and meaning of the new exhibit Chords of Memory on its opening day.
The Ackland Art Museum has unveiled an exhibition of Thomas Hart Benton lithographs that will introduce viewers to the vivid scenes and lively characters of Americas past if they can find the gallery. Chords of Memory features expressive prints that depict scenes and memories from Bentons travels throughout the South and Midwest during the Great Depression. His careful attention to detail and deft use of angles and shading capture the rustic simplicity of the time. The Ackland has displayed the 10 lithographs that make up the exhibition in a single gallery, tucked in a back corner of the museum. The shows hidden placement in the museum and its Spring Break opening date make it seem as if the exhibition is meant to be overlooked. But it shouldnt be. The prints emphasize the importance of music and memory in Americas heartland. Benton incorporates a music motif into his lithographs with literal depictions of musicians. A father teaches his daughter to play guitar in The Music Lesson, and Missouri musicians strum
their instruments in the countryside in Coming Round the Mountain both expressive examples of how music forges bonds across generations and backgrounds. Benton also renders the music motif in his prints with symbolic actualizations of lyrics. Wreck of the Ol 97 is a visual dramatization of an old, famous ballad about a locomotive that was wrecked in Virginia in 1903. The terrified expressions of Bentons characters transform a well-known historical event and song by heightening the intensity of the crash. The bold blacks and stark whites interspersed with shades of gray create power in Bentons prints. Such contrast accentuates motion, drawing the viewers eye to still and important moments, a harmonious clash of the chaotic and the calm. The lithographic medium of the exhibition echoes the times of the Depression that Benton depicts. The black and white etchings-turned-prints
are unassuming and accessible, yet the stories and scenes depicted are engaging and moving. Benton incorporates a wide range of subjects from childhood memories in rural Missouri, to literary and folkloric allusions to characters like Huckleberry Finn and Jesse James. Each lithograph has a personal allure, ensuring that viewers of this exhibition will be swept away in the musical chords and captivating memories of Americas rustic past. In his prints, Benton stages the integral traditions and rural scenes of our countrys past like scenes in a play. His lithographs take the viewer down the Mississippi River, into the lives of hardworking farmers and through small and colorful towns in the United States. Though the exhibition hides in a back corner of the Ackland, it is well worth the search to discover Bentons vibrant collection of memories. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.
A petition urging UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp to advise Tar Heel Sports Network to cease programming on any radio station that airs Rush Limbaughs talk show has gained support in the past week. The petition is in protest of the conservative commentators remarks about Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke. Seven radio stations, including WRDU in Raleigh, air both Tar Heel Sports Network and Limbaughs show, according to the petition.
Fluke testified in front of a U.S. House of Representatives committee last month and advocated for the coverage of contraception in all private health insurance plans. In response, Limbaugh called her a slut and a prostitute. Bill Friday, former UNCsystem president, said the decision whether to drop Tar Heel Sports Network from radio stations is up to University administrators, but the controversy surrounding Limbaughs remarks speaks to a broader societal issue. What weve got to do in this country is go back to civility, Friday said. This issue presents the ageold difficulty of standing for the right of free expression, and then acknowledging there are limitations on that right. The
question is where to draw the line, and libel and slander come close to the limitations. Rick Steinbacher, associate athletic director for marketing and promotions for the University, said the network and Limbaughs show do not have close enough ties to warrant protest and withdrawal from radio stations. The Tar Heel Sports Network airs on more than 50 affiliate stations. Limbaughs program airs on hundreds of stations, a few of which cross over, Steinbacher said. The fact that two different programs that use networks to be aired are on a few of the same affiliates does not make them linked, Steinbacher said. My sense is that once people learn and understand the absence of a direct link between
Carolina Athletics and any of the regular programming on any of our affiliates, and our lack of control or endorsement of the regular content of the networks affiliates, that they will be reassured. But James Protzman, a liberal blogger at BlueNC.com, said Limbaughs show benefits from being aired on the same network that carries Tar Heel Sports Network. They are using the University logo to help their reputation, Protzman said. Jane Brown, a UNC journal-
ism professor and Protzmans wife, plans to speak to the chancellor this week about implementing the goals of the petitioners. We want to send a message that we support young women being responsible, and that we support civil discourse about this topic, and that is not what Rush Limbaugh represents, she said. The petition on Change.org has attracted more than a 1,000 signatures. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Town Council member and liaison to community policing advisory committee
Changing policies
Town residents criticized police for being overly aggressive and using unnecessary force during the incident. But Schurmeier said the Yates incident was complicated by several factors.
main policy challenges that arose during the Yates incident. First, he said the firm will try to provide more options to the police department if it is faced with another critical incident. He said the department needs more tools during street-level protests other than deployment of the emergency response team. The firm will also help the police department examine its communication policies, which were called into question after the Yates incident. Blue agreed the communication breakdown during the Yates incident led them to identify it as an area in need of revision. Lastly, Schurmeier said he harm the quality of the university system, but also deepen the distrust between legislators and higher education leaders, he said. Waldens study has contributed to this tension, as some legislators say the system should focus on cutting costs. Rep. Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke, said he was skeptical of the studys findings. He said the system should be looking for further costsavings, instead of doing studies like Waldens. I would be much more impressed with the university stepping up and saying in this economy we cant continue to spend what weve been spending, he said. Blackwell said the 2009 Bain &
wants to improve the morale of the police department by getting lower-level officers more involved in decision-making. We need to inform the rank and file of what is happening and seek their opinion, he said. While Schurmeier has identified policy areas that need improvement, he said there is a lot the police department is doing right. We are helping them be a better police force, he said. But we are not coming in saying, This is a completely flawed operation. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com. Co. study of UNC-CHs administrative effectiveness, which found $66 million in yearly savings, is proof that universities are not doing enough to cut costs. Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Montgomery, was also skeptical of the Walden studys findings, but said the university system usually provides accurate information. If were putting state dollars out there, were always looking to get accurate statements and reports, he said. Generally speaking, we get the requested information, but there are things we have to scratch our heads on. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Wolfpack escaped the bubble as the last team announced on CBSs Selection Sunday show. The other No. 1 seeds are Kentucky, Syracuse and Michigan State, with the Wildcats nabbing the top overall spot. UNC beat Michigan State in the seasonopening Carrier Classic and lost to Kentucky by one point on the road. Duke fell in as the No. 2 seed in the South region, where Kentucky is the top team. This bracket, which also includes Baylor, Indiana, UNLV and Notre Dame, is arguably the most difficult region. Florida State and Virginia also made the tournament, giving the ACC five bids. The ACC champion Seminoles are the No. 3 seed in the East region and Virginia is the No. 10 seed in the West. UNC will know who it will play in its opening game when Lamar and Vermont meet in the First Four on Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio. Lamar, coached by Bob Knights son Pat, won the Southland Conference championship to get into the tournament. The Cardinals were 23-11 on the season, marking the programs most wins since 1984.

Vermont topped Stony Brook in the America East championship to earn its spot. The Catamounts will play in the NCAA tournament for the fifth time in 10 years. They made a splash when they topped Syracuse in a first-round overtime thriller in 2005. The Tar Heels now look to rebound from Sundays ACC championship loss to Florida State and make a six-game run to a national title. But no ACC title may be a good omen for the Tar Heels. UNC also failed to win the ACC crown in 1993, 2005 and 2009 the last three times the Tar Heels won the NCAA tournament.

in HIV research, Margolis and Archin moved from their previous research site at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 2005. Opportunities were better here to do HIV research, Archin said. There were more HIV researchers here, and the potential for collaboration was much higher here. Their study is the first showing that latency itself can be attacked, Margolis said. That allows a lot of people to try new things or try better things or work on the problem, people who hadnt been working on the problem before because it didnt seem possible, Margolis said. Ronald Swanstrom, director of the UNC Center for AIDS Research, said that while it is too early to say whether this discovery will lead to the cure, it is a necessary move in the right direction. The next step is doing multiple doses and seeing the effect, he said. The study was financed by grants. Archin said she hopes this success will encourage the medical community to direct more funding toward HIV research. There may be a lot of hard work ahead of us, she said, but there is a hope it might be possible to cure HIV. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

MC, on a story about UNC graduation rates for black males
Enough madness
EDiTOriAl
hether the team of the moment is living out a Cinderella story or continuing a long history of dominance on the court, few events in collegiate athletics rival the excitement of March Madness. For nearly three decades, 64 teams provided for vigorous competition and top talent in the tournament. This seems to be one area which is not in need of innovation. But last years increase from 64 to 68 teams has opened the floodgates for discussion of a broader expansion of the tournament. Some have proposed that the total number of participating teams be increased to 128. Among the proponents of a larger tournament field are UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham and many other college coaches and administrators. But from a fans perspective, this is an unnecessary change. As the saying goes, If it aint broke, dont fix it. The NCAA does many things poorly, but this seems to be one thing it does right. It shouldnt waste its resources trying to improve upon a system that works when so many of its other systems are broken. A larger tournament field would make it harder for an
underdog to make a run for the Final Four, and it would detract from the weight of regular-season games. Half the fun of March Madness is watching underdogs pull off upsets. But the more games there are in a tournament, the less likely it is that a lower-seed team will be able to sustain a string of wins. The Cinderella stories fans love so much would be increasingly rare. Without this unpredictability, an expanded post-season would be far less entertaining, and could actually be less profitable than the current system. A larger tournament would also take away from the importance of regular-season games. One of the arguments against a playoff in college football is that every regular season game matters, since teams arent guaranteed an opportunity for redemption in the post-season. Presumably, if a team shifted its focus toward the postseason, it wouldnt take the regular season as seriously. Increasing the number of teams in the NCAA tournament would also hinder a conferences schedule-making, since March would probably have to start earlier to accommodate a larger number of tournament games. Given the current trend toward larger conferences in collegiate athletics, a longer and bigger tournament would only compound these scheduling problems.
When Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh announced they would be joining the ACC, fans were outraged at the prospect of conference teams only facing off once each year. The proposed changes to the NCAA tournament would only aggravate these frustrations, since some plans for expansion would eliminate one or two regular season games to make room for a more prolonged tournament. Its true that deserving teams are left out of the tournament each year, and an expansion might help prevent these bubble teams from being excluded. But there arent 64 bubble teams, and most teams that arent invited have not performed well enough to be included in post-season play. Sure, it would have been nice for UNCs team to be asked to the big dance instead of the NIT in 2010, but we really didnt deserve it. Keep March Madness the same. The tournament encapsulates everything that is great about college sports, and it would be a shame to dilute its successful formula. Instead, the NCAA should focus its attention on more pressing matters. From the tangled mess of the football Bowl Championship Series to larger questions about the commercialization of student athletes, the organization has plenty on its plate.
ve and I spent a lot of time in the student government suite, and I treasure the times I would pop my head into Eves office, just to say hi, and then end up staying for an hour or two, just to talk. We discussed companionship, politics, editorials, friendships, personal strengths and weaknesses, and the burden of missing even a single opportunity. I felt comfortable and loved around Eve, because she was authentic in every way possible. We could be critical of one another yet supportive, and we could giggle but also be serious. Eves authenticity rings throughout all that she did every project, every meeting, every dance party, every heart-to-heart. It is because of such authenticity that so many people feel loved and, in fact, were loved by my incredible and inspiring friend, Eve Carson. In the vein of Eves most sincere love, I have a question for all of you: What are your goals? For the week? The year? How can your classmates help you achieve them? This is standard Eve speak for student government. At the beginning of the school year, each of the executive officers spent our first meeting listing our goals. Some were personal, some were lead-
Katie Sue Zellner is a 2009 UNC graduate. She served on the executive branch of student government from 2007 to 2009 and was Eve Carsons chief of staff. The two are pictured above in 2008.
ership-oriented, and others were platform-oriented. Eve photocopied all of our lists and kept one copy with her and gave another to us. Periodically, Eve would pull out everyones goals and check up on how we were doing. Eve instilled in each of us speaking today and in countless others an awareness of self, of strength and of aspirations. While on student governments Outward Bound trip in the North Carolina mountains, Eve made a point to speak candidly during an otherwise cheesy exercise that classified people into leadership quadrants. Ill never forget when Eve said, Katie Sue, I listen to you because Ive learned to listen to you. I know you have good ideas, but you have to speak up. Rest assured, Eve, I wont hold back any ideas, and I promise to be loud and clear.
These are examples of how Eve affected me. But I want you to know that Eve cared about bringing out the strengths in each and every student. Eve once wrote that student government on this campus shapes people to be leaders and to be passionate about their community; it empowers people to share their thoughts with other decision makers. So, you see, its student government or any student organization its we, the students who empower each other to pursue our goals. Eve not only believed in students causes, but, more importantly, she also believed in the people behind those causes. In people in all of you Eve found the love, thoughtfulness and eagerness to experience that propelled her to leadership, a leadership that hinged on connecting the campus and the world. Finally, Eve kept close to her heart a sense of responsibility: She remarked that because she had been given so much, she must also give back. Eve counted all of you among her friends; she would say, I have friends. And I have friends that I have not met. So, as a friend of Eve and in her spirit of responsibility, please reflect on your capabilities and live with a sense of love, curiosity and eagerness to give and to experience.

WOMENS BASKETBALL: gEOrgiA TECh 54, UNC 53 Tar Heels bounced from ACC tourney
With two seconds remaining before the final buzzer, the North Carolina womens basketball team trailed Georgia Tech 54-53 in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament in Greensboro. Freshman Brittany Rountree received the ball high beyond the 3-point arc from the baseline inbound. She caught the ball, got into shooting form and pulled the trigger without hesitation. But unlike her only other 3-point attempt in the game, this one did not fall. UNC advanced in the first round with a dominating 90-51 win against Clemson with the help of seven 3-pointers from Roundtree. But the loss on Friday dropped the Tar Heels to 20-11 overall and places Sylvia Hatchells team squarely on the bubble for the NCAA tournament.

dailytarheel.com SCOREBOARD
dth/erin hull P.J. Hairston (top) hit three 3-pointers in Sundays game against Florida State, but his last attempt came up short at the buzzer in UNCs 85-82 championship-game loss. Harrison Barnes (left) scored a game-high 23 points. James Michael McAdoo (right) started for the injured John Henson and played 28 minutes. He scored four points and recorded eight rebounds along with four steals.
ATLANTA When Florida State downed North Carolina in January, the Seminoles perimeter play handed UNC its first conference loss by a stunning 33 points. So it was only fitting that the ACC tournament championship game, a rematch between the two teams on Sunday in Philips Arena, came down to a 3-pointer at the buzzer this time with an opportunity for UNC to succeed from long range. Unfortunately for the No. 5 Tar Heels (29-5), that lastsecond attempt didnt go as planned. As Florida State stifled UNCs attempt to pass the ball to forward Harrison Barnes, freshman P.J. Hairston took the shot. Hairstons fire clanged off the back iron and gave No. 17 FSU (24-9) an 85-82 victory and a conference championship ring. We had two plays set up two screens set up for Harrison coming off the top, and they switched it, so he was overplayed, senior Tyler Zeller said. Then we had another screen for him going down to the baseline, and they switched it again. He wasnt open. P.J. did a great job and he was our third option. He was open. He tried to make the
best out of it, and its tough when you catch the ball nearly at half court. That stifling Seminoles defense troubled the Tar Heels from the start of the tournament final while their offense slowly pulled the lead toward FSU after a back-and-forth beginning. Deividas Dulkys and Michael Snaer combined for six 3-pointers in the first half to keep the Seminoles comfortably ahead by a lead close to 10 points for the majority of the period. Without ACC Defensive Player of the Year John Henson, who was dressed out for the contest but did not play with his sprained wrist, the Tar Heels could do little to stop Florida States pace. The Seminoles entered the half with a nine-point lead. Coach Roy Williams said it wasnt until the last 12 minutes of play that he finally saw the North Carolina team hes seen of late attempt to claw back for a win. We kept trying to pry the door open, and they kept closing the door, Williams said. They made shots down the stretch. They made free throws, they made plays, 3-point plays. They did what they had to do to stop somebody from coming back and stealing a win from them, and you got to congratu-
late them. Zeller, who notched a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Barnes, who scored a game-high 23 points, traded drives and put-back opportunities to bring the Tar Heels closer in the second-half effort. But it was once again point guard Kendall Marshall who would hit UNCs final shot, following his game-winner against N.C. State in the semifinal. With 31 seconds on the clock, Marshall hit a double-pump 3-pointer to pull the Tar Heels within one point of the lead. He finished with 15 points. Although North Carolinas final heave by Hairston didnt convert into another conference title for the ACC regularseason champions, the Tar Heels did walk away from the loss with a valuable asset: this games tape. Barnes said that reviewing this matchups film will be key in UNCs preparation for the NCAA tournament. This is a classic tournament game, he said. I mean, just the intensity it had a championship feel. Out of every game, its tough to be a Final Four or national champion. Its first round, second round. So we just have to be ready to play come next Friday. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.
ATLANTA With just more than three seconds left on the clock, the ball was supposed to be in Harrison Barnes hands for the No. 4 North Carolina mens basketball team to keep the chance for winning its 18th ACC championship alive. But Barnes said the shot just wasnt there. So instead, doing what the Tar Heels did all weekend long at the ACC tournament, they relied on a reserve to make the big play. As the team trailed Florida State 85-82, freshman P.J. Hairston, who had already made three 3-pointers, ended up with the ball in his hands for a chance to tie the game. But as the buzzer sounded, his shot bounced off the rim and fell to the floor. It felt great. It was right on line. When I let it go, I knew it was going in, Hairston said. When it hit the rim, it was just the worst feeling in the world. The missed shot gave the Seminoles, who have now defeated UNC twice this season, their first-ever ACC championship. As Hairston sat motionless in a chair against the wall in the locker room after the game, tears seemed to well in the corner of his eyes. The Tar Heels just barely missed the opportunity to celebrate in the confetti shower at the Philips Arena on Sunday, and they wont be coming back to Chapel Hill with another ACC championship banner. But that doesnt mean UNC left Atlanta empty-handed. James Michael McAdoo, who made his first two career starts replacing an injured John Henson, will take highintensity game experience home with him.
We are (more dangerous), McAdoo said. In the Maryland game and the N.C. State game, we were forced to play key roles and step in and fill those roles. The Tar Heels trailed the Seminoles 49-40 at halftime, and for the Tar Heels, the first half began to look frighteningly like the first matchup with FSU a game they lost 90-57. Hairston said the team decided it wasnt going to let FSU run away with it in the second half again. After the break, it was the freshman guard himself who helped make sure that came true. The Seminoles climbed to a 14point lead early in the second half. But in a span of less than two minutes, Hairston hit three 3-pointers to get the Tar Heels back in the game. Hairston, who had hit a bit of a shooting slump, finished the game with 13 points the most hes scored in a game since New Years Day. Hairstons resurgence, McAdoos performance in Hensons absence and forward Justin Watts key plays against N.C. State on Saturday might not have been enough to secure a title for UNC. But for the Tar Heels, who now hold a coveted No. 1 NCAA tournament seed, the boost from the bench can at least be considered a silver lining. Early in the season, I thought our bench was giving us some great things and then we went through a lull, head coach Roy Williams said. But if we can get (Henson) back out there and keep James Michael playing and being fresh and rebounding the ball and P.J. finally making some shots and J. Watts doing the things that he does, that helps us, to say the least. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.
