Today, the post-Sera begins against none other than Navy.
HARTFORD, Conn. — The last time North Carolina played an NCAA tournament game without Dean Smith as coach was 1959 when the Tar Heels lost to Navy.
NCAA first round to match Tar Heels against rival Navy
"We're trying to snap a $22 year losing streak to Navy," said Bill Guth ridge. Smith's longtime
assistant and successor. "We've lost four in a row to them and six of seven."
East Regional play begins
The Associated Press
Today, the post-Smith postseason begins against
The Tar Heels (30-3) come in as the nation's top-ranked team and the No. 1 seed in the East Regional.
I haven't done a lot of the detail things I used to. I delegate that," Guthridge said yesterday when asked the difference in getting ready for the tournament as the man in charge rather than as an assistant. "One thing, I've spent a lot more time with the media than I did as an assistant."
Navy (19-10), the Patriot League champion, has a 14-5 advantage in the series with North Carolina. The team's last win was in the first round of the 1959 tournament when the Tar Heels were coached by Frank McGuire. Smith took over in 1961, went on to become the winningest coach in the history of college basketball and sent North Carolina on a streak of 23 straight NCAA appearances.
And that could affect his relationship with the man he sat beside for 30 years on the North Carolina bench.
"Dean Smith is the greatest coach of all time, and I enjoyed every moment with him." Guthridge said. "I'm just trying to continue what he did. I'm just trying to be Bill Guthridge, not Dean Smith. He recruited these players, and he trained me."
"I talked to Dean last night as he was getting ready to go to New York to work in the studio (for CBS)." Guthridge said. "I'm a little hesitant to talk to him because he's with the media now."
Among those players is Antawan Jamison, the leading vote-getter on the AP All-America team.
Jamison was slowed in last weekend's ACC tournament by a groin injury, but he still was named MVP, averaging 20.7 points and 11.3 rebounds while shooting 55 percent.
Guthridge made it 24.
THERE ARE 64 TEAMS, BUT ONLY ONE
"He makes the game look so easy," said DeVoe, who has taken the Midshipmen to the tournament in consecutive years for the first time since the David Robinson era. "Jamison just kind of glides around the court. When he decides to turn it on, he can and can make those spectacular plays. The thing I like most about him is his aggressiveness on the boards. He's relentless."
"I'm about 100 percent," he said yesterday. "Yesterday (Tuesday), I went full out, and it felt good."
Illinois-Chicago is one of four schools playing in the NCAA tournament for the first time. It is also one of three in the field of 64 from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, a league not used to such representation.
That cannot be good news for 16th-seeded Navy, which will have Hassan Booker, 6-foot-3, covering the 6-foot-8 Jamison.
"I think we've got to continue to play well," said Jimmy Collins, Flames coach. "History shows that mid-Division I conferences are never going to get the total respect that power conferences get. We've got to continue to play well and show everyone that we're on the rise."
UIC (22-5) is led by MCC player of the year Mark Miller, who averaged 20.1 points per game while shooting 41 percent from three-point range.
North Carolina-Charlotte (19-10) is led by forward DeMarco Johnson, who averaged 20.7 points and 9.0 rebounds.
Princeton (26-1) has the best record in the field, and the Tigers go against what may be the hottest team in the tournament. UNLV (20-12) won the Western Athletic Conference title last week by beating Hawaii, Utah, Fresno State and New Mexico in a four-day stretch.
Navy coach Don DeVoe likened Jamison to one of his former players at Tennessee, Dale Ellis.
Michigan State (20-7) comes in off a disappointing quarterfinal loss to Minnesota in the Big 10 tournament after having lost to Purdue in its regular-season finale.
In the other game in today's afternoon doubleheader at the Hartford Civic Center, No. 8 North Carolina-Charlotte faces No. 9 Illinois-Chicago. The night doubleheader has No. 5 Princeton against No. 12 UNLV and No. 4 Michigan State against No. 13 Eastern Michigan.

The Spartans have to face state rival Eastern Michigan (20-9), the champions of the Mid-American Conference.

Big 10 ejects referee for call against Knight
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bob Knight will not have to miss any games. The referee will.
The Indiana coach chose yesterday to pay a $10,000 fine out of his own pocket rather than accept a onegame suspension that would have sidelined him for today's NCAA tournament opener against Oklahoma.
This is the third time in Knight's 27 years at Indiana that he has drawn a fine of at least $10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
"Coach Knight has wide latitude in carrying out his responsibilities but also has an obligation to comply with the letter and spirit of conference standards governing sportsmanlike
conduct," Big 10 commissioner Jim Delany said.
Knight said the university reluctantly agreed to let him to pay the fine to the Big 10.
Knight's decision was announced, and the object of his
Knight: Will pay $10,000 rather than miss game
wrath was penalized. Referee Ted Valentine was censured by the Big 10 for improperly calling a technical during the Indiana-Illinois game. He will not be allowed to work games
Valentine called three technicals against Knight and ejected the coach during the Feb. 24 game.
The Big 10 gave Knight a choice between a fine or a one-game suspension. When the university appealed the ruling Monday, the Big 10 committee rejected the appeal.
involving Big 10 teams during the nonconference part of the 1998-99 season.
The conference's conduct code prohibits coaches from intentionally inciting participants or spectators to violent or abusive action and publicly and unduly criticizing referees.
Big 10 representatives said the second technical was a mistake because Knight went onto the floor to attend an injured player.
Knight picked up a second technical foul, an automatic ejection, with 9 minutes and 37 seconds left in the second half after Luke Recker was injured.
Illinois' Sergio McClain had grabbed the rim, drawing a technical, and Knight argued that Recker's shot should have counted because of goaltending. Officials correctly ruled that the ball was automatically dead, and it was not goaltending.
Knight was given a technical for leaving the coaching area to check on Recker, who was still on the floor. Valentine then gave Knight a third technical. As Knight left the Assembly Hall floor, he made a point of walking in front of Valentine at midcourt.
