The result was true to form. Second-ranked North Carolina beat No. 1 Duke 89-76 last night, the fifth consecutive week the country's top-ranked team has lost. The Tar Heels, 18-3 overall and 6-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, broke the game open in the second half with a 15-3 run that gave them a 59-48 lead with 12:35 to play. Duke, 15-2 overall and 5-2 in conference play, never recovered and couldn't get closer than six points the rest of the way. Arkansas 112-105 on Feb. 10, 1991. This was the first time this rivalry had a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, but the final margin shouldn't have been shocking. The last four times these teams have met, the result has been a 10-point victory for the home team. It was the first No. 1-No. 2 matchup since top-ranked UNLV beat The first half ended with Duke taking a 50-48 lead into the locker room. Duke managed the two-point halftime lead when guard Chris Collins made two 3-pointers in the final 1:38 between a 3-pointer by North Carolina guard Derrick Phelps. Except for the Blue Devils' 8-2 run to open the game, neither team was able to take more than a three-point lead. There were eight lead changes and six ties in the opening 20 minutes. the first-half shooting percentages — Duke was 64 percent at 16-for-25 and North Carolina was 55 percent at 18-for-33 — belied the excellent defense that was being played. Of the 15 players who played in the first half, all but forward Kevin Salvadori of the Tail Heels scored. Duke started the second half as it ended the first half with Collins hitting a 3-pointer, his third in a row. But the Tar Heels continued their torrid shooting while the Blue Devils tapered off. At one point Duke went 4:10 without a field goal. When guard Grant Hill finally hit a baseline jumper with 8:03 to play, it cut North Carolina's lead to 68-57 — but by then the sellout crowd of 21,572 was as loud as it has ever been at the Smith Center. Phelps led the Tar Heels with 18 points, while center Eric Montross had 16 and forward Rasheed Wallace had 14. North Carolina played without high-scoring guard Donald Williams, who missed his fourth straight game because of a separated left shoulder. Hill topped the Blue Devils with 20 points and Collins finished with 15. This was the 33rd meeting between Duke and North Carolina since 1981, and it was the 12th time one of them has been ranked No. 1. The rematch will be on March 5 in Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke. Phoenix Cardinals hire Oilers' Ryan The Associated Press ner. TEMPE, Ariz. — The punch is past, and Buddy's back as a boss in the NFL. A month after slugging a coaching colleague during Houston's final regular-season game, Buddy Ryan was hired yesterday as coach and general manager of the Phoenix Cardinals. "You've got a winner in town," said Ryan, the Oilers defensive coordinator last season. "We're looking forward to winning. So today we start." Ryan, who coached the Philadelphia Eagles from 1986-90 and led them to the playoffs three times, signed a four-year contract. He replaces Joe Bugel, who was fired Jan. 24 after a 7-9 season in which he failed to deliver on an ultimatum by owner Bill Bidwill to produce a win- The hiring comes as something of a surprise given that Ryan's stock was believed to have dropped considerably after he punched offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride during a nationally televised game. But Bidwill was undeterred by this latest run-in with a colleague and gave him the additional job of general manager, the first time the Cardinals have put one man in the dual role. The Cardinals had been without a general manager since Larry Wilson resigned Dec. 14. "I have said we want to reach the next level," said Bidwil, who met with Ryan for two days before striking a deal. "Buddy Ryan has been to the next level. I anticipate he will take us there." Ryan, who turns 60 this month, is entering his 25th year as an NFL coach. He takes over a team that has not been to the playoffs in a non-strike year since 1975 and has not won a playoff game since 1947. "If there are any real good football players here, they're going to want to play for Buddy Ryan," Ryan said. In his first stint as a head coach, Ryan led the Eagles to three consecutive playoff berths, but the team never made it beyond its first post-season game. The Cardinals have not won a playoff game since 1947. Ryan apparently became the Cardinals' top choice after the Washington Redskins hired Dallas offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who reportedly was offered the Phoenix job of coach and general manager for $700,000 a year.
