Concerning The End of Game Foul —
Tar Heel Fan
What is it about UNC and end of game hard fouls by rival teams?
Shades of the Duke game in 2007 no doubt.
For those who did not see it, in the final few seconds NC State’s Ben McCauley commited a hard foul from behind as Mike Copeland went up for a dunk. McCauley made a clear play ...
UNC 93 NCSU 76 —
Tar Heel Fan
Taking care of business.
I thought this was a solid effort. It was not the dismantling that happened in Chapel Hill last season, the Wolfpack actually showed up at tipoff in this one. It also was not the 2nd game from last season where the Wolfpack laid down for the Heels. For all their ...
UNC-NC State Game Thread —
Tar Heel Fan
Here is some classic Danny Green talking about the NCSU fans to start things off:
“From our perspective, their fans are kind of crazy, a lot of country guys over there, they’re pretty harsh; they speak their mind, they say whatever comes to mind, they try to hurt your feelings, ...
UNC is on ABC... —
The 5th Corner
...and the station scares me more than the opponent. It might not be the same as the UNC vs Duke rivalry, but when fifth/sixth ranked North Carolina (18-2, 4-2 in the ACC) and N.C. State (11-7, 2-4 in the ACC) meet for the 214 th time you know that the "rival" word comes out as well. Add to ...

Quote of the Night —
Tar Heel Fan
From Danny Green concerning Ty Lawson’s game winner :
“That’s a tough shot – I taught him well.”
Also, I think Roy Williams used the word like 23 times in six minutes during his postgame remarks.
UNC 80 FSU 77 —
Tar Heel Fan
Miracle finishes are not just reserved for the Smith Center.
It was 16 years and one day ago that UNC rallied to beat Florida State in the Smith Center capped off by a George Lynch steal and dunk. Danny Green may not be George Lynch but he is doing a darn good impersonation of him ...

This is not the textbook ...
Dewey Burke Is Awesome —
Tar Heel Fan
Apparently since graduating from UNC, Dewey “Biscuits” Burke runs a series of basketball camps during the summer and works with individual players on a regular basis. Cool stuff. I did find the description of Burke’s senior season lacking however:
In the 2006-07 season, ...
