Iways had of the young coach
one of a warm, honest man.
Ihe allegations portrayed Da-
as a cold, calculating coach,
ing advantage of his boyish
ice to cover up flagrant NCAA
lies violations.
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.

By The Associated Press
North Carolina and Duke,
whose campuses are just a long
jog apart, will be sharing a new
neighborhood next weekend in
Indianapolis.
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.
