Little bump in the road today with NC State. I would not want to be in the next Tarheel practice after that horrible defensive effort. On the bright side even as bad as they played (NC State only missed 4 shots in the second half) the game was winnable at the end. I'll take the cup 1/2 full approach and laugh when Duke feels Roy's wrath this week.

There must be something about saturday afternoon games on ABC. Road wins against in-state rivals are always tough. Duke on Wednesday, cant wait.

UNC v. DUKE TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!T-minus 4 hours....

[bigkg]

I think UNC is the 2nd best team in the nation behind UCLA. For whatever reason I can't put Florida at 1 or 2, something about them bugs me. It's hard for me not to put A&M in the top 4 with the way they have been playing as of late, but I'll round out the top 4 with Wisconsin (even though they lost to my Hoosiers!). My preseason pick was Kansas, I'll stick with that saying that they easily have the talent to be a top team, it's just a matter of how they perform on any given day/night.

I watched the Florida Kansas game, and it seemed like they needed to get every possible break in the last 10 minutes to beat them. Literally everything went Kansas's way and they still nearly lost, I think Florida is the better team. In a seven game series I think Florida beats them 4-2.Can't wait for tonight.

I think Kansas is the third most talented team behind UNC and Florida. KU's problem is the execution in the half-court offense. Living in Kansas City i watch all their games (as i was a big KU fan when Roy was there and still like them) and when they play a team that can control the tempo, like A&M did the other night, they can struggle. KU doesnt have a solid identity, like UNC with the up-tempo and UCLA with defense. Sometimes KU pushes it and sometimes they play slow. I think they need to push it all the time, they have speed and depth, just like UNC. Sherron Collins is as good as Ty Lawson, and Rush and Wright can run the floor. But I dont think Bill Self wants to play that way, so who knows.

****!!! I missed it.

UNC played like garbage the first half, Tyler, Ty Wayne all played pretty poorly. The only person who I thought played decently the first half was Terry, I suppose Wright was pretty solid too. Roy did a great job giving Frazor and Miller extended time in the back court early in the second half to pick up the defense. Once they took the lead with just over 5 minutes to play you could tell Duke was falling to the pressure. The one kid for Duke had a great game before fouling out, he was hitting a ton of shots.Overall I am happy we won, but I'm not happy hard it was. Classic rivalry game. Duke is 5 and 5 in conference, the ACC is silly tough this year.

I didn't get to see it either, only about two minutes of footage during a check in that espn did while another game was at halftime. They had a shot to win it, just didn't get it off in time.

HUGE game tommorow night. Our Heels visit the BC Golden Eagles, with first place in the ACC on the line.

Big win on the road!

Last couple weeks were a bit shaky, nice win vs Duke before heading into the tournament. I don't care what Tyler says, he took a cheap shot.

Most definetely. It was clearly intentional. Fuck Gerald Henderson and fuck Duke.

[SuitedAces21]

A good win over BC today. One more and its ACC tourney champs and a number 1 seed in the big dance.

[Jadaki]

Got the one seed, then got arguably the toughest road to the Final Four of the #1 seeds..., Georgetown as a 2, Texas as a 4...I was kind of hoping for a two seed with an easier route to the Final Four.

[SuitedAces21]

Not their best game by any means, but survive and advance is what the tourney is all about. One more for a final four birth. Come on Heels!

[Jadaki]

That first 1/2 couldn't have been any worse, and the last 12 minutes couldn't have been much better. Time to play that traveling Hoya squad.

[Jadaki]

I think patrick ewing must have been giving hand jobs to the refs at halftime because Hibbard should have been fouled out with 2 minutes left to go in the game not to mention committing 3 in the OT that were never called. What a joke. In a 7 game series UNC beats GT 5 of 7, I hope OSU rips them a new one next weekend.
