Heel-mobile headed for San Antonio

WOO HOO!! The Tar Heels are going to the Final Four! It has been said that Ty Lawson is the engine of this team.  Well, folks, if that is true, then Tyler Hansbrough is the clutch. After being knocked all year about not having an outside shot, Tyler hit at least 4 shots from 17 [...]

I guess we play defense too.

WSU scored 47 points on 31% shooting. So, I guess we play defense, too. I thought it would also be interesting to look at some possession-type stats in the context of the slower pace that we played in last night’s game.  WSU plays a pace that keeps scores in the 50s and 60s, whereas Carolina [...]

Irresistable Forces and Immovable Objects

Carolina scores 113 and 108 in its first two games (the first time since 1990 that feat has been accomplished in NCAA play). Washington State holds it’s first two opponents to 40 and 41 points. Contrast in styles? Ya think?! This is obviously going to be about a battle of wills. Washington State is good [...]

ACC Pride goeth before the fall

Having selected Duke and Clemson to make the Sweet Sixteen, I am hurting. SO… Carolina is in the same position as last year. The lone ACC representative in the Sweet Sixteen, with the reputation [...]
