NFW ORPHANS (AIM — Surrounded by two of collegB basketball's
greatest re< rutting < lasses. Donald Williams the only sophomore
on the North Carolina roster — delivered the national championship
lor the Tar Heels Monday night.
Williams is the afterthought in the North Carolina lineup, often
overlooked in the glow of the other starters And yet. when there was
a ( hampionship to Iks won. it was the slender sophomore from Car
nor, N C . who made the difference
When Michigan nosed in front fiO-58. Williams went on a run of
eight straight points, including his fourth and fifth f-pomters That
kept the Tar Heels ill business
As important as that streak was, Williams then punctuated his
effort with a key steal following baskets bv Derrick Phelps and
George I.ynch. That led to a basket by Fric Montross. a member of
Carolina's talented junior class, that built a 72-07 lead, an edge the
Tar Heels never surrendered.
Williams wasn't finished
Chris Webber, one of Mi( logon's Fob Five sophomores, ladled for
a tune out when Michigan had none left and was charged with a
technical w ith 11 seconds remaining Williams cooly dropped both
free throws to make the score 75-71
A moment later, with Michigan out of options, the Wolverines
fouled Williams again With the bright lights of the Superdome glis
tening off Ins shaved head, the youngster dropped two more free
throws home, sealing the victory.
Williams finished with a game-high 25 points on H-for 12 from the
field, including 5-for-7 one 3-point attempts The 5-for-7 on I point
ers mirrored bis production in North Carolina s semifinal victory
over Kansas
