Carolina faces Nevada tomorrow...
unc5corners.blogspot.com 12/30/2008 — On paper, or on the surface, for most people, the game between unanimous top ranked North Carolina (12-0) and Nevada (7-5) seems to be just an easy game for the Heels on their way to playing the Atlantic Coast Conference part of the season. But...
BC 85 UNC 78 —
Tar Heel Fan
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 ...

BC-UNC Preview —
Eagle All Access
Boston College opens up ACC play tomorrow at #1 North Carolina. UNC is by far the most talented team in the country. The closest margin of victory for UNC so far was a 15 point victory over Notre Dame. They enter the game 13-0 and have a very legitimate shot at going undefeated this year. The ...

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. ...

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 ...

Terrapin Trail
Hey folks, I have a brief interruption of Eric Detweiler’s tales from blue-turfed Boise with a recap of today’s women’s basketball game against UNC-Asheville.
It wasn’t the Terps’ best effort, but it was more than good enough. The No. 14 Terps looked sluggish ...
UNC 97 Rutgers 75 —
Tar Heel Fan
Another action packed game which saw UNC run up another double digit lead and cruise home.
The big news in this game was the return of Marcus Ginyard who was visibly rusty(as expected) and a bit deficient in the conditioning department(also expected) as evidenced by an airballed free throw ...

UNC Basketball
UNC beats Rutgers 97-75........................ UNC just couldn't get to biscuit time in the last 2 minutes; what a shame. For most of the second half, UNC played sloppy or at least not focused. The biggest issue was UNC missing outside shots and leaving Rutgers shooters open on the ...

UNC Basketball
UNC leads 52-38 Halftime................... We all had to endure the UVA-GT OT game that clearly illustrated both teams are far below UNC. Fox Sports joined the UNC game at about 10 minutes left in the first half. When we joined the broadcast Rutgers went on a big run and narrowed the game. ...
