I think his mistakes were ade honestly, and that his na- enature betrayed him. at else could have hap- sned? Why would any coach line into a school already under CAA scrutiny and cheat? Davis is a smart man, as well good coach. He kept the Ag- esclose in games against teams ith tons more talent, and did it |h an injury-riddled and scan- il-plagued team. Davis told The Battalion last I lednesday that he was sorry at he ever met Johnson. — you could turn back the |||!ock and we could know what know now about Rob John- we wouldn't have gotten in- jlved," Davis said. "He pre- :nted himself as a good person, we found out later about background and the specu- itionabout him." And he obviously knew about iM's past problems, wise man once said you can Jfcasure a man by the size of the | ings that bother him. By that | andard, Davis is a big man.

The Atlantic Coast Conference rivals advanced to the Final Four on Sunday, giving the league half of the NCAA semifinal field for the second straight year. North Carolina held off tena cious Temple 75-72 for the East Regional championship, ending Dean Smith's longest absence from the Final Four and making him the first coach to get there in four different decades. Duke defeated St. John's 78-61 for the Midwest title, joining UCLA and Cincinnati as the only schools to make four consecutive Final Four appearances. The victories set up intriguing semifinal matchups next Satur day at the Hoosier Dome. The Blue Devils (30-7) will play top-ranked UNLV (34-0) in a re- match of last year's championship game, a 103-73 rout by the Runnin' Rebels. North Carolina (29-5) meets Kan sas (26-7) in a pupil-teacher showdown between Dean Smith and former assistant Roy Wil liams. The Final Four also had two ACC teams last year, Duke and Georgia Tech. King Rice hit four free throws in the last 22 seconds and Temple's Mark Macon missed a potential, game-tying 3-pointer with four seconds left, putting North Carolina in the Final Four for the first time since winning the national title in 1982. "Maybe now I won't get any letters asking why I hadn't been to the Final Four," said Smith, who lost four consecutive re gional finals after winning his first seven. "I can hardly remem ber the last time we made it. I'm pleased for the seniors who haven't been there before." Although his team lost, Macon wasn't haunted by his humiliat ing 6-for-29 performance in the 1988 East Regional final, which took place on the same court in East Rutherford, N.J. The senior guard scored 31 points on 12-of-23 shooting and earned regional MVP honors. His fourth 3-pointer, with nine seconds left, cut North Caroli na's lead to 73-72. But Rice then hit two free throws and Macon misfired on his final 3-point at tempt. "I've never guarded anyone other than Rodney Monroe that has so much confidence in his shot," said Rick Fox, who shad owed Macon on his final drive. "He's definitely one of the best shooting guards in the country." Smith moved into a tie with UCLA's John Wooden for most career victories in the NCAA tournament. Smith's tourney re cord is 47-21; Wooden was 47-18. f ULCERATIVE COLITIS Do you have physician diagnosed ulcerative colitis? VIP Research is seeking individuals for a one month research study.
