NEW ORLEANS - North Car
olina capitalized on a last-second
blunder by Michigan and gave
Dean Smith his second national
championship with a 77-71 victo
ry over Michigan on Monday
night.
The two titles in Smith's 32
years at North Carolina both came
at the Superdome, and this one
didn't have to wait for a last-
minute jumper by Michael Jordan.
That 1982 game also ended on a
blunder — By Georgetown.
The Tar Heels won with a
powerful inside game of Eric
Montross and the 3-point shoot
ing of Donald Williams as Michi
gan's Fab Five lost in the title
game for the second consecutive
year.
Smith becomes the fourth ac
tive coach to win two national
championships. Indiana's Bob
Knight has won three, while
Louisville's Denny Crum and
Mike Krzyzewski of Duke have
each won two. Only John Wooden
with 10 at UCLA, Adolph Rupp
of Kentucky with four and Knight
have won more than Smith, wno
was making his ninth appearance
in a Final Four.
The Tar Heels (34-4) didn't
wrap up the victory until Chris
Webber, who had scored 23
points and grabbed 11 rebounds,
made the mistake of calling a
timeout the Wolverines didn't
have.
North Carolina was leading 73-
71 when Pat Sullivan missed the
second of two free throws with 20
seconds left. Webber grabbed the
rebound, charged up court and
stopped in front of his bench with
11 seconds left to call a timeout.
The Wolverines had already used
their allotted three and a technical
foul was called.
Williams, who finished with 25
points, made both free throws on
the technical and he added two
more when he was fouled on the
ensuing possession for the final
margin.
When the buzzer sounded the
Tar Heels charged the court and
mobbed Smith, the second-win-
ningest coach of all time who had
always been maligned for his Fi
nal Four failures.
The Tar Heels got the lead for
good when Derrick Phelps scored
on a layup with 3:12 left for a 68-
67 lead. Jimmy King of Michigan
threw up an air ball from 3-point
range and the Tar Heels extended
the lead to three when George
Lynch scored in the lane with 2:10
left. Montross, who had 16 points,
dunked with one minute left and
it was the Tar Heels by six.
Smith's NCAA record im
proved to 55-23, the most tourna
ment victories for a coach; Fishei
dropped to a still-amazine 17-3,
He led the Wolverines to tne na
tional championship as the inter
im head coach in 1989.
Michigan finished 5 for 15 from
3-point range, far from the O-for-4
effort against Kentucky in the
overtime semifinal.
Michigan's one-game run with
out any 3-pointers ended early,
and three long jumpers onas
many possessions started the
Wolverines on the way to a 23-13
lead with 11:33 left in the half. Re
serve Rob Pelinka hit two 3s to
start the 19-4 run and Rose fol
lowed with another as Michigan
scored 11 straight points.

»e women's team defeated
the 24th ranked Demon Deacons
of Wake Forest on their current
11 match streak against non
conference opponents. The Lady
Aggies also go into their last
two weeks or regular season
matches carrying an almost per
fect 4-1 record in the Southwest
Conference.
The recent losing streak has
not put a damper on the team's
outlook of the rest of the season
as Burton-Durham said that the
team has retained cohesiveness.
"We hang out together, we
party together, we go through
good and bad together. Basical
ly, we do everything together,"
Burton-Durham said of her rap
port with her teammates.
She was very confident in her
teammates as well as in herself
that they can perform well in
their last four matches and in
at
her tennis career will continue
after she leaves A&M.
"I'd like to go professional.
possibly,..hopefully," she said.
She also knows that before
she can think about her aspira
tions, she has work to do before
the season's end.
"(I must) improve my game.
My goals are to work on both
the mental and physical aspects
of my game," she said.
Burton-Durham has no re
grets about coming to Texas
A&M for both her tennis and
academic pursuits, however, she
did admit that infrequent trips
home and having her parents
far away was saddening.
But she added that she
wouldn't change a thing.
"(It's) the Best choice I've
ever made," she said.
Burton-Durham said that she
wished women's tennis was
more popular on campus.
"It doesn't get that much
credit, but the publicity for a
women's tennis match is not as
large as some of the other
events,
"We have to improve our self
more and then maybe we'll get
credit for our accomplish
ments," she said.
The women tennis team has
upcoming matches against Utah
on Thursday and then will try to
tame the Cougars of Brigham
Young University on Saturday.

standing," Johnson said. "He had
control of all three of his pitches
and stayed ahead in the count
most of the time."
Johnson was also pleased with
the play of freshman leftfielder
Chad Alexander. Alexander had
two home runs including a gram
slam with 6 RBI's.
"I thought Chad had some re
ally big hits," Johnson said, "It's
really encourging because we
think Chad has finally found his
groove."
The Aggies will face Texas
Tech this weekend at Olsen Field
in a three game series.

That whole Democrat-Re
publican connection is mind
boggling.
One pitcher who Texas has
decided to hang on to is Nolan
Ryan. A certified Texas legend,
Ryan decided to hang up his
spikes after his 27th season in
tne majors and await his induc
tion into the Smithsonian Insti
tution.
His place in history is un
matched. There are four areas
that hall of fame voters look at
when deciding whether a pitch
er should make it into Cooper-
stown.
Victories, innings pitched,
strikeouts and shutouts.
Nolan is 10th in victories
with 319, sixth in innings
pitched with 5,320, first in
strikeouts with 5,668 and
eighth in shutouts with 61.
One last minor statistic is his
seven no-hitters, easily another
major league record.
From the fantastic to the
ridiculous. Los Angeles is a
team on the downward spiral.
After spending millions of dol
lars on outfielders and boy
hood chums Eric Davis and
Darryl Strawberry, the Dodgers
have become chumps.
But the most embarrassing
thing is the shortstop position.
Jose "With an E" Offerman con
tinues to baffle fans and oppo
nents alike with his fielding in
eptitude. Lastyear alone he
had 42 errors. The Dodgers at
tempted to trade him over the
off season but found no takers.
Surprise, surprise.
Even the Rangers did not
take him. That ought to be a
tip-off right there.
While the Dodgers will be
the dregs in the West, the pent
house probably will be occu
pied again by America's Team.
Not the Cowboys, but the
Atlanta Braves. The ingredi
ents are there: four potential 20-
game winners, a productive of
fense led by outfielder David
Justice and clubhouse leader
ship provided by third base-
man Terry Pendelton.
The pitching staff is so good,
it's almost sickening. The
Braves already had John
Smoltz, Steve Avery and Tom
Glavine. For good measure,
there was Pete Smith. Atlanta
was not satisfied, though.
They brought in last year's
Cy Young Award winner, for
mer Chicago Cub Greg Mad
dux. But the starters can't
pitch a complete game every
time out and that is where trou
ble could develop.
The short relief situation is a
mess. Two candidates have
emerged: Mike Stanton and
Mark Wohlers. The key is con
sistency with those two, which
neither has. Too bad Francisco
Cabrerra can't pitch.
Now, the moment everyone
has been anxiously awaiting.
Those world famous Plumer
Predictions will be unveiled for
the 1993 baseball season. Divi
sion winners will be announced
and then a few individual
awards.
N.L. West- Atlanta Braves.
But the Houston Astros could
be a surprise.
N.L. East- Montreal Expos.
Some magazine actually picked
the Philadelphia Phillies to win.
Somebody has been seeing the
Phillie Fahatte too much.
A.L. West- Texas Rangers.
Oops, that was an April Fools'
Day joke five days late. The
Chicago White Sox are the team
to beat.
A.L. East- Toronto Blue
Jays. After them, who cares?
Cy Young Award- Smoltz
wins it in the National League
while Ryan wins it in the
American League. It could
happen.
Most Valuable Player- First
baseman Frank Thomas snags
it in the American League
while fellow first sacker and
San Diego Padre Fred McGtiff
is a surprise winner in the Na
tional League.
