Keller who started the game I lh a 22 point average could score only 11 points and only two of them came off Miller Florida's 1-3-1 zone defense kept the baffled Tar Heels outside most of the game The Gators gave Tom Gaunt lett John Yokley and Bob Bennett clear shots but converged on Miller and Bob Lewis "I think we may have been thinking too much about our shooting percentage" Smith said "Bobby (Lewis) had some shots but they just weren't dropping We had no second shots except when Miller would go up into the middle of the big boys and get a rebound "We were throwing the ball away too much against the zone you expect to lose possession sometimes against a press but you shouldn't lose it against a zone We had a lot of guys open underneath but were afraid to pass to them "We played 'afraid' basketball and you can't play this game that way" Lewis the nation's leading scorer couldn't penetrate the Gators' zone Each time he tried to twist in for a layup he would run into 6-9 Keller or 6-10 Ramsey Final ley after seeing Keller slap away two shots a frustrated Lewis shouted to Smith "They're too big I can't drive They're just too big" But it was Lewis who helped break the game open with two quick fast break dunks and a steal that set up another layup "I couldn't fake Keller" Lewis said "lie wouldn't even move when I faked he knew he didn't have to "He'd just stand there then when I tried to shoot over him he'd just flick it away "But we just out-hustled them" continued Lewis "The press finally began to work and we outran them This proves what we've said all along this Is a 5-man team When Larry and I don't score someone else will" Yokley who couldn't buy a bucket all night hit a key three-point play off a layup to give the Tar Heels a nine point lead "We were just flat" said Yoke ly "I was rushing my shots and just couldn't hit I don't know what was wrong we usually play well in Charlotte but we didn't give the fans anything to cheer about tonight" Eagles
