UNC 108 Charleston 70
That is more like it. The only real issue was the first half defense. College of Charleston shot 46% in the first half and hit 8 of 18 three pointers. Those made threes helped Charleston stay close until a small run at the end of the half gave the Heels a 12 point halftime edge.  ...

Gene DeFilippo draws a line in the sand and Jeff Jagodzinski promptly steps right over it. If you are not aware of the backstory , Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski lined up an interview for the vacant New York Jets head coaching job and was told by AD Gene DeFilippo that if Jags went ...

David Glenn Interviews Danny Green
Interesting interview . The question everyone has after UNC plays like this is whether or not Roy was biting the heads off live chickens while running the team to the point of losing their lunch. Turns out that was not the case. Green says Roy opted to use it as a teaching moment and did ...

Call It The Caffeine Portion of the Schedule
I was perusing the Heels’ upcoming schedule and realized that of the 16 games left, six of them will start at 9 PM, three will start at 8 PM and one at 7:45. That is ten games that will end around 10 or 11 PM. Fear not though all these late starts is a benefit to you, the faithful THF ...

Areas That Warrant a Closer Look
What we learned last night that we really hope are not ongoing problems. A loss like this one certainly will give the UNC coaches and player pause. It also opens up the debate as to what went wrong. To great extent I am more than willing to chalk this up as simply a crappy game that ...

Heels Drop to #3 in Both Polls
Not that a lot of poll watching is worthy anything right now or really ever for that matter. As expected the loss to Boston College costs the Heels their #1 ranking and elevated Pitt to the top of the poll though one coach and two members of the media still think the Heels are #1. Who is #2 ...

Nicks To Turn Pro
No surprise here . Hakeem Nicks has the tools to be a good NFL receiver and there is no need to risk injury for what is probably very little in the way of upward movement in the draft. Besides that, Nicks broke most of the receiving records at UNC in only three years and his 217 yards, three ...

What A Loss Like This Means
It’s over! Run for the hills! Cancel the reservations for Detroit! Not really. I have not decided if this game was simply a perfect storm of crapitude that put UNC on the short end or something more that should concern us. Certainly the matchup is one that will give UNC trouble. ...

BC 85 UNC 78
In the first half UNC went on a 13-0 run and took a seven point lead. At this point in 13 previous games, the opposing team slowly fell apart. That did not happen and when BC absorb the blow and struck back, UNC did not have an answer. This one boiled down to the following: Lack of ...

ACC Basketball Roundup(1/03)
Guard play. You need good guard play. That is the lament presently being heard in Raleigh as NC State lost yet another game against a good team during the last minute. The Wolfpack lost at Florida 68-66 very much because NCSU does not have the point guard play to run a decent half ...

Hansbrough Thinks Going Undefeated Would Be “Great”
Not so much noteworthy for what is a no-brainer but for the fact it is being asked of the players at this point. Here is what Hansbrough said today on the topic: “We’ll see what happens; I want to take it game by game, but I think if you ask every team I’ve every played on, it would be ...

UNC 84 Nevada 61
Happy New Year! Considering this was a road game versus a fairly decent team and in front of a rather hostile crowd you have to like how things went. Wayne Ellington probably had one of his better games of the season on both ends of the floor. Ellington swiped three steals on his way to ...
