The Index-Journal, Qr nwood, 8.C., Jan. 18, 199311 Virginia tops Duke Kansas moves up to No. 1 (Continued from page 10) "We are competing with ourselves and not the record," Jones said of the winning streak. "I think that really is the key for this team." Duke, which last lost at home on March 4, 1990, to North Carolina, fell one game short of North Carolina State's ACC-record home winning streak from 1972-75. Losing "crossed my mind near the end and I remembered how I felt losing to North Carolina my freshman year," Duke guard Bobby Hurley said.

"It was something I wanted to be without again." Virginia, which had lost 19 of the last 21 to the Blue Devils, including 10 straight in Cameron, led throughout by playing smothering defense and crashing the boards. The Cavaliers also held Duke (12-2, 2-2) to 36.8 percent shooting the 11th straight opponent the Cavaliers held under 50 percent. Virginia also limited Duke, fifth nationally in scoring, 25 points under its average. Duke also was outrebounded 53-37. "Shots we're accustomed to 5 i tional champions, usually hard to beat down the stretch, fell apart over the next five minutes, missing seven of eight shots as the Cavaliers pulled out to a 68-56 cushion with 1:40 left "They had some extra motivation and came out and beat us, that's the bottom line," Hill said.

"You can't make excuses about being he added. "They were the better team." Virginia hit nine of 12 free throws in the final 1:18. "We ran what we wanted to do. It was just as we had it on paper," said Smith, who also bad five assists in 26 minutes. "We thought we could win and this is one of the bigger wins, but it's not that big in the concept of the schedule." Virginia plays at North Carolina on Wednesday, then is at home against No.

Doug Smith was the star off the bench, scoring all of his 14 points in the second half while subbing for Cory Alexander, who sat out about six minutes after picking up his fourth foul. Smith also helped work the clock in the final minutes.

Virginia led 30-24 at intermission as Duke played its worse half of basketball this season, shooting 32 percent and falling behind by 10 points. "We tried to penetrate and make them take a lot of shots they don't like to take," Alexander said. "You have to try to take them 1-on-l. "We've had confidence from the start" Alexander said when asked if the Cavaliers were a surprise this season. "The fact is that we have to keep it going and just see how good it can be." Duke did close the lead to one point four times in the second half, the last at 51-50 with 7:32 left on Marty Clark's layup.

His basketball and baseball teams also won nearly 90 percent of their games. In my opinion, he was ahead of his time, said Willie Jeffries, South Carolina State head football coach, a Sims graduate and Moorer protege. Moorer graduated from South Carolina State College, he received a master's degree from Columbia University and did further study at the University of California. He was principal at Liberty Junior High and educational administrative assistant for the Union County schools. In 1971, he became director of individualized learning for Spartanburg School District No.

Hawaii (AP) Gaining entry to such exclusive events as the Masters, World Series of Golf and Tournament of Champions mattered not at all to Howard Twitty. HOWARD TWITTY Not in the immediate aftermath of his four-shot victory in the Hawaiian Open.

"I'm sure I'll think of that tomorrow," Twitty said, "but that's not even in my mind right now." There were more personal matters to consider the joyous hug from his 12-year-old daughter Jocelyn, a sense of self gratification and vindication, and "an awful, awful lot of emotions" with which to deal. "What I'm thinking now is that having my daughter here to see this makes it a very special day in my life," Twitty said. The front-running, wire-to-wire triumph Sunday was his first since the 1980 Greater Hartford Open 12 years and 7 months ago, before Jocelyn was bom. That's the longest stretch between victories in PGA Tour history, breaking the record of 12 years set by Leonard Thompson in his 1989 Buick Open triumph.

Freeman. 29, was 7-5 with a 3.22 ERA last season. Jordan's 64 points a 'wasted effort' CHICAGO (AP) Being such a potent scorer, Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls is trapped in a Catch-22 situation. At times, he's questioned if he shoots without looking to pass to a teammate. And at times, he's blamed for passing up shots while on a scoring binge and, instead, trying to find the open man.

MICHAEL JORDAN It's not an enviable situation, but it's one Jordan, the six-time NBA scoring champion, has grown accustomed to. After scoring an NBA season-high 64 points Saturday night in a 128-124 overtime loss to the Orlando Magic, Jordan tried to put things in perspective. "I'd give up all of them (points) for a win," he said. "It's a wasted effort I'm disappointed, angered but not to the point where you start pointing fingers. If anybody should have folded down the stretch it should have been them (the Magic)." Coach Phil Jackson said that when Jordan is hot, "we stand around and watch him.

We become tentative and don't assert ourselves. The attention is away from their shots and it seems to affect the whole team." At halftime, when the Bulls trailed 58-52 and Jordan had 31 points, Jackson pointed out the situation. According to Jordan, Jackson warned the team that it couldn't expect Jordan to continue his scoring spree in the second half. "We have to get everybody involved. Step up and take your shots," Jackson said.

But when it was over, Jordan had taken a career-high 49 shots and converted 27, including 1 for 5 from 3-point range. The Bulls' eight other players combined for 58 field goal attempts. West edges East HONOLULU (AP) There was a Miami flavor to the 47th an nual Hula Bowl. Miami (Ohio) safety Ron Carpenter was the defensive MVP after snaring three interceptions for the East in a 13-10 loss to the West Miami (Fla.) receiver Lamar Thomas was the game's offensive MVP with six catches for 64 yards in just over one-half of play before leaving with a concussion. "Carpenter kept claiming he was from the real Miami and I kept claiming I was from the real Miami," Thomas said.

Hawaii kicker Jason Elam kicked the game-deciding 28-yard field goal with 51 seconds to play after the West recovered a fumbled snap from center when the East went for a first down on fourth-and-1 from the East 29. The East had a chance to tie on the game's final play, but Notre Dame Craig Hentrich's kick was wide left on a 65-yard attempt With NBC pressuring to get the game over before the network had to be off the air, time went by very quickly in the final quarter. Only 10 plays including three incomplete passes were run during one four-minute span, and the clock keep moving even when players went out of bounds. NBC refused comment, but Hula Bowl executive director Ray Nagel said the network calls the shots because it pays the rights fees. The West opened the scoring the first time it had the ball on UCLA running back Kevin Williams' 6-yard run.

Elam's first field goal a 30-yarder in the second quarter, made it 10-0. The East rallied on its next possession as Boston College running back Cbuckie Dukes capped an 80-yard drive with a 1-yard run. Carpenter then made the first of his interceptions on the next series, setting up a 25-yard field goal by Hentrich. S.C. coaching legend Moorer dies GREENVILLE (AP) James Franklin Moorer, the first black high school football coach inducted into the state's Athletic Hall of Fame, has died at age 69.

The funeral service was set for this afternoon at Majority Baptist Church.

(AP) Marshall players carried a lackadaisical attitude into their Southern Conference showdown with The Citadel, and it almost cost them, one said. But a late rally gave the hosts a 62-50 victory, their eighth in as many home starts. "Most of the guys had the attitude, 'Oh, we're playing The Citadel. We'll get our scoring said guard Malik Hightower. Instead, The Citadel (1-10 overall, 0-5 in the conference) double-teamed Tyrone Phillips and nearly broke its nine-game losing streak despite 33 percent shooting.

Marshall, too, was cold. Phillips, who averaged 23.8 points a game, was held to 11 points on 4 of 10 shooting. "When I got the ball, they were determined Tyrone Phillips was not going to score," said Phillips. Harold Simmons scored 14 points and Hightower 10 for Marshall (9-4, 4-2). Reggie Jones scored 11 points for The Citadel, which trailed 24-21 at halftime.
