Hines' big mouth may have also helped the Tar
Heels prepare for the game. There was an
article posted in the UNC locker room - copied
from an Internet site called the Duke Basketball
Report - that quoted Hines explaining why
UCLA coach Steve Lavin dropped a
home-and-home series with Duke and picked
up the Tar Heels. "He wanted to get a good
game in there, where we had a better chance of
winning," the article quoted Hines as saying. As
it turned out, the Greenville native was
prophetic.
