Sidney Lowe always knew how to beat North Carolina as a player. The first-year coach proved he can also get the best of the Tar Heels from the sideline. The former North Carolina State point guard earned his first big victory as its coach when the Wolfpack upset No. 3 North Carolina, 83-79, on Saturday in just the kind of rivalry game he was hired to win. "It's one win, but it's a big win. I've never shied away from the rivalry of the three schools down here, and it's a big win," Lowe said.

Jimmy Rodgers, who guided the Minnesota Timberwolves to only two victories in their last 18 games, has been fired, the team said Monday.
