North Carolina gets
past Cincinnati in OT
FAST RUTHERFORD. N.|.
(AF) — A dunk didn't do it in
regulation, but three-pointers in
overtime did And now. North
Carolina is going to the Final
Four for the ninth time under
couch Dean Smith.
The top-seeded Tar Heels (32
4) had a chance to beat second
seeded Cincinnati (27-5) at the
regulation buzzer Sunday .'•but
Brian Reese missed a dunk after
taking an inhounds pass with
eight-tenths of a second to play.
Donald Williams took care of
things in overtime from beyond
19 feet. 9 inches, making con
secutive three-pointers .is North
Carolina heat the Bearcats 7.V(iH
and kept them from returning to
the Final Four.
"Generally, you let down after
a missed chance like that.”
Smith said. "We regrouped
against an excellent basketball
team, a difficult team to play
against."
North Carolina will meet
Kansas, winners over Indiana in
the Midwest final, in the nation
al semifinals next Saturday in
New Orleans When the two
teams met in the 1991 semifi
nals, Roy Williams. Smith's
long-time assistant, beat the Tar
Heels when Smith was ejected
late in the game.
"We won a tournament this
weekend, and we'll go and try to
win another one." Smith said in
his usual, low-key way
The Tar Heels were in trouble
in the first half when Cincinnati
guard Nick Van Exel snapped
out of a tournament-long snoot
ing slump with 21 points, all hut
three on three-point field goals
The Bearcats led bv as many as
15 points in the opening 20 min
utes.
But the Tar Heels rallied to
take a lead late in the half, and
then clamped down on Van
Exel. holding him to two points
after halftime
"We knew they were going to
make a run." Van Exel said. "We
just didn't expect it in the first
half. I knew they wouldn't
crash, not with that coach.
“They went into their zone,
but not because of me." Van
Exel said "1 probably wasn't
looking for m\ shot in the xei
ond half as much ns I should
have, but I was trying to get
everyone else involved in the
senring. Down the streti h, I
didn't hit the big ones "
Williams believed North Car
olina guard Derrick Phelps had a
lot to do with it
"He got a lot of good open
looks at the basket in the first
half." Williams said "In the sis
ond half, we wanted to make
sure we ran at him. but we have
to give credit to Derrick Phelps
He did an outstanding job on
him. wearing him down and get
ting him tired."
Williams. North Carolina's
only legitimate perimeter threat.
