Maryland defeats No.1 North Carolina
The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Topranked North Carolina and coach Bill Guthridge finally ran out of luck yesterday night.
Maryland handed the Tar Heels their first loss of the season and the first in the Guthridge era, as Laron Profit scored six points during overtime to lead the Terrapins to an 89-83 victory.
Antwain Jamison scored 27 points for North Carolina (17-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), but he missed four foul shots during overtime and his one free throw with 7.4 seconds left was his only point during the final 18 minutes.
Profit scored 19 points for Maryland (10-5, 3-2), which lost by 32 points at home to Duke just 11 days earlier. Profit
It was the second time in three years the Terrapins beat No. 1 North Carolina in Cole Field House. They did it during the 1994-95 season.
clinched the win by making two foul shots for an 87-82 lead with 18 seconds left.
North Carolina had won 34 of 35, including 17 straight under Guthridge, who took over for Dean Smith this season. The Tar Heels
This time, however, North Carolina never led after Profit made two foul shots for a 84-82 lead with 2:11 left.
had won three games by five points or less, including a win by two points during overtime against Georgia.
The Tar Heels had won 15 straight ACC games, and their loss put Duke alone in first place in the conference. Maryland has won three of four against UNC.
North Carolina faced the prospect of losing in regulation when Maryland got the ball with 7.5 seconds left and the game tied.
But a wild shot by Sarunas Jasike-vicius failed to draw iron, and the Terrapins appeared to be in trouble

North Carolina trailed 51-50 before Jamison scored two straight baskets and Ademola Okulaja added a threepointer for a 57-51 lead.
Maryland cut the gap to four points on five occasions during the next eight minutes. Jasikevicius got the Terrapins to 65-63 with a jumper, and Maryland finally pulled even at 70 when Profit made
two foul shots with 4:51 left.
North Carolina took the lead three times down the stretch, but Maryland answered each time, the last on a layup by Mike Mardesich with 46 seconds to go.
Maryland closed the first half with a 7-0 run to take a 41-37 lead, only the third time the Tar Heels have trailed at halftime this season. Jamison had 16 points, but only five in the final 12 minutes.
The Tar Heels went up 9-2 early, conjuring up memories of Maryland's debacle against Duke. In that one, No. 2 Duke took a 12-3 lead and went on to hand the Terrapins their worst home loss in 29 seasons.
Under pressure, freshman spurs GW to win
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Calm and confident, freshman Mike King didn't need a pep talk as he stepped to the free-throw line alone with his team trailing by two points and no time left on the clock.
"Take my time," King said he was thinking. "And relax."
Meanwhile, on the sideline, coach Mike Jarvis was a nervous wreck.
"I knew it was money. I told Coach that was money," said point guard Shawna Rogers, who, like King, comes from Baltimore.
"That's why I told Coach to relax."
King, playing only his third collegiate game, made both to tie it 68-68, then scored six of his 16 points in overtime as George Washington beat No. 18 Xavier 78-73 last night.
"I couldn't believe it," Jarvis said. "He didn't hit nothing but the bottom of the net."
King, who became eligible after meeting NCAA academic requirements Dec. 29 and made his debut just one week ago, scored all his points during the final 6:16 of regulation and during overtime as George Washington (14-3, 3-1
Atlantic 10 won for the ninth time in 10 games. King was getting steady playing time only because of a second-half injury to leading scorer Yegor Meschierakov.
"A lot of people get in the zone like that," King said. "I was feeling it out there." I felt as though I could score, so I asked for the ball, and Shawnta gave it to me."
Xavier (10-4, 2-2) has lost both its road conference games after being ranked as high as No. 7 earlier this season. Lenny Brown led the Muskeeteers with 23 points, while Darnell Williams had 20 points and 12
rebounds.
"We need to close games like this out," said coach Skip Prosser. "I thought offensively in the first half we became stagnant. But we'll be back, you can mark that down. It will help us to get home. But just being back home isn't itself enough."
Xavier, which usually goes just six deep, blew an 8-point lead with 6:30 to play and had three players foul out.
"We ran out of some guys," Prosser said. "I thought (the officiating) was curious. But I don't think officiating was the reason we lost the game by any stretch."
At the end of regulation, King was fouled trying to put back an offensive rebound as time expired. Referee Joe Mingle went to the sideline and studied the instant replay for nearly a minute before allowing the foul shots.
Rogers matched a career high with 25 points for the Colonials, who won even though they were outbounded 47-35 and shot just 59 percent from the free-throw line. Alexander Koul had 15 points, including 8 points during the final six minutes of regulation as GW came back.
Missouri victory denies Sutton career milestone
The Associate Press
COLUMBIA, Moe. — Freshman Brian Grawer, made seven of eight free throws during the final three minutes as Missouri held off No. 25 Oklahoma State 70-64 yesterday.
Albert White had 16 points for Missouri (9-6, 2-Big 12), which denied Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton on his 600b
career victory. Sutton's next chance to become the 20th Division I coach to reach the milestone is Saturday at Baylor.
Missouri beat Oklahoma State (12-2, 2-2) for the 26th time in 28 games at the Hearnes Center despite going without a basket during the final 5:58. White's three-pointer had provided a
seemingly cozy 58-48 lead at that juncture, but the Tigers made nine of the next 10 free throws to help the lead stand up.
Missouri is 7-1 at the Hearnes Center and has beaten two ranked teams, including then No. 18 Maryland on Dec. 30.
The game was Oklahoma State's first since entering the Top 25 this week. The Cowboys had not been ranked since the 1994-95 season when they reached the Final Four.
Grawer entered the game a
66.7 percent free-throw shooter.
He hit two free throws at the
2:50 mark for a 62-56 lead, hit
one of two with 1:56 left for a
63-60 lead, hit two more with 1:20
for a 65-62 lead and two more
again with 47 seconds left for a
67-62 lead.
Adrian Peterson tied his career high with 27 points for Oklahoma State, which has lost two of three
since an 11-0 start. Peterson was 8-of 19 from the field, had three 3-pointers and added seven rebounds.
Brett Robisch and Desmond
Mason added 15 points apiece for Oklahoma State, which shot only 38.7 percent.
White had a strong game off the bench for Missouri. He missed one of Missouri's three previous games with a sprained left ankle and played a total of 26 minutes in the other two. Kelly Thames and Tyron Lee added 12 points apiece for Missouri.
Oklahoma State was held to 10 points during the final 8:40 of the first half as Missouri took a 35-28 lead. Missouri, which got nine points from Thames and six rebounds from Loe, led by as many as nine points.
'Cats offense quiets Iowa State standout
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Manny Dies got his points and helped make sure Marcus Fizer didn't get his.
Dies had 27 points and hounded the Iowa State freshman star on defense, holding Fizer to 12 points, as the Kansas State Wildcats beat Iowa State 77-59 Wednesday.
"From watching the film, we knew we had to go at Fizer," Dies said. "He was our focal point. Then you had (Paul) Shirley sprout up, he was the lone gun.
"We play a lot better at home." Dies said. "For the little crowd that comes, they really give us a lot of support. At home, we just come more focused and do what it takes."
Dies, who scored 11 of Kansas State's 13 points in one run, helped to hold Fizer to just one field goal in the first half.
Shirley had 19 points for Iowa State (8-8 overall, 1-2 Big 12), but that was all the offense for a Cyclones team that shot 36 percent. Fizer had scored more than 20
points in each of his last three games.
The Wildcats started the game with a 10-3 run, and then went on a 13-4 run about five minutes into the half with Dies getting 11 of the points.
With 3:22 left in the game, the 6-foot-8 Fizer ebowed 0-Wildcats guard Aaron Swartzendruber in the eye, knocking Swartzendruber to the floor and knocking out a contact lens. Swartzendruber had gotten position on Fizer for a rebound.
The game was halted for about five minutes, Iowa State coach Tim Floyd took Fizer out of the game.
The Wildcats are now 8-0 at home this year and ended a two-game losing streak to Iowa State.
Josh Reid added 11 for Kansas State, including three of four 3-pointers.
"I just have a shooter's mentality like everyone else," Reid said. "I'm going to come out shooting until I start hitting. Right now, I'm pretty shaky."
Klay Edwards had nine rebounds for the Cyclones.
