You've seen him on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
You've heard the announcers go nuts over him. You've witnessed the
Cameron Crazies whipping themselves into a frenzy when he slaps the floor. And
if you're like a lot of college basketball fans, you've wondered: Who, him? Through sheer will and
tenacity, this too-short, too-white guy has transformed himself into the Duke of
Scrap. He is sixth in the ACC in assists and eighth on the team in scoring,
but he is second in the league in steals and he leads the nation in floor burns. Cota's ability to
adeptly handle Wojo's defensive tenacity is critical if North
Carolina is to win this game. —S.D.

The encounter between Wojciechowski and the Tar Heel floor leader will attract the most attention Thursday
night. Since the beginning of his freshman season, Cota—who still doesn't start, despite leading the ACC
in assists for a second straight year—has been
upperclass-wise in his decision-making. He's an erratic outside shooter,
but he's so good at slipping into the lane for drop passes and kickouts,
that it hardly matters. When he does drive, draw and dish to the perimeter
he usually finds his backcourt mate, Shammond Williams. —A.W.
