Voting for No. 1 Spread Out, Even in Wake of UNC's Win Over Duke

// March 10th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

So even with our impressive defense and victory over rival Duke University Saturday night, we still didn’t get unanimously voted #1. Sure, we’re #1, but some defuses out there voted for Kansas (they’re a freaking #2 seed), UCLA, Memphis and Tennessee!

Oh well. It’s so awesome to finish the regular season as #1 in the nation, to have the regular season ACC title and now hoping for a great run in the ACC and NCAA tournaments!

Voting for No. 1 Spread Out, Even in Wake of UNC’s Win Over Duke

Heels Beat Duke at Duke

// March 8th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, TV Talk

Man, I gotta say, I was a bit nervous coming into the game, but Carolina went into Duke’s house and played a pretty good game. With that win, we’ve won 3 straight at Cameron Indoor Stadium! I think the Heels had more blocks in that game than any other one this season by leaps and bounds – just wish we had capitalized a bit better on some of those throughout the game. In the end though, our defense and some key shots won it for us. Danny Green, as per usual as of late, hit some of those key shots.

TCongrats to the Heels for becoming the Regular Season ACC Champs. That’s another banner to hoist for the Heels. Hopefully, we’ll have a couple more to hoist before the Heels stop playing basketball this year. I love this time of year, especially when my Tar Heels are #1 in the nation going into post-season play!

Heels Back on Top

// March 3rd, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

Woo hoo! The Tar Heels are back on top of both polls, despite having a scare with Boston College’s Tyrese Rice. Thankfully, a hell of a second half brought the Heels a win in the first game in a month with Ty Lawson getting some playing time.

Lawson Update and How The Offense Changed

// February 27th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

While the Tar Heels have fared OK without Lawson now for half the ACC season, they’re really going to need him going into the ACC and NCAA tournaments. There’s few fans following the Heels that haven’t realized that Ty’s injury is more serious than first believed. It still doesn’t sound like he’s out of the woods fully.

As much as Quentin Thomas has improved with his additional minutes, the Heels are definitely more sloppy with him and Marcus Ginyard running the offense. We miss you Lawson, and hope the healing continues and he comes back fully in time for the post season!

Michael Jordan Talks About Roy and Dean

Nice interview from one of, if not the most famous Tar Heel. Jordan has lots of nice things to say about Carolina’s current coach, Roy Williams and Williams’ teacher, Dean Smith.

Duke Wins :(

*sigh* The higher seed won. We severely missed Ty Lawson, and couldn’t sink threes all night to save our lives. There’s always the second matchup at Cameron.

Nervous About Tomorrow Carolina / Duke Matchup

// February 5th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

Tomorrow night’s matchup should be a good game – number 3 Carolina versus number 2 Duke. But, Carolina’s own personal Road Runner isn’t looking good for tomorrow’s matchup. The hope is that Marcus Ginyard steps it up and Quentin Thomas has the freaking game of his career. Here’s to hoping the Heels defense is on like it was against Boston College.

I’m nervous, yet anxious for tomorrow night’s matchup. Go Heels!

This Season Is Beginning To Look A Lot Like 1998

// January 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

Ah.. ’98 was a good year for me.. I was in my sophomore year of college and ended up driving to San Antonio with two friends to cheer on the Tar Heels in the Final Four. Unfortunately, we lost that first game to Utah, but Final Four is an amazing accomplishment in Division I basketball.

Fellow Word Press blogger Tar Heel Fan (whose RSS feed I just subscribed to) has a good write-up comparing 2008 to 1998′s season (which by the way.. the Final Four is back in San Antonio again). He makes some good points. One can only hope the Heels make the final outcome more like 2005.

Carolina Beats #19… Just Barely

// January 6th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

Man, that was a good game. Carolina was frusterating a lot of that game, and Ty Lawson was out of control multiple times. Thankfully, Wayne Ellington had a career high 36 points, including the 3-pointer to seal the win in OT.

Junior From Texas Commits to UNC

Sounds like the talent is going to keep rolling into Carolina. I’ve gotten to see two non-conference games this season so far, and it’s awesome the way they’re playing. Coach Williams is undoubtedly the right fit for the Heels, not that anyone ever really had a question regarding that.
