I’ll take it. Tyler Hansbrough put this team on his back and took advantage of the Hokies foul problems to score 28 points including a key basket to give UNC the lead. Hansbrough was also involved in the controversial call near the end that some thought was a foul but was instead ...

UNC beats VT 79-76 to advance to the ACC Semi-Finals..............28-3...... I still can't believe that UNC won this game. VT led for most of the 2nd half with ADV going off after sitting for most of the 1st half. UNC played better control basketball in the 2nd half with fewer dumb plays but ...

#4 Florida State vs #12 Georgia Tech The winner plays UNC, not that it matters at this point. C.Michael reports the UNC fans are in the majority at the Georgia Dome and it has a cocktail party feel to as they are waiting around now to boo Duke. Comments if you have them.

Tar Heel legend Charlie Scott. C.Michael also says he saw uncgirl50’s future father-in-law Gene Hansbrough milling around. – According to C.Michael, Ty Lawson still has a limp and is not warming up. Consider him out for this one. That leaves the PG duties to Larry Drew ...

The honors keep rolling in. Tyler Hansbrough was named first team All-American by The Sporting News for the fourth straight season. Ty Lawson was named to the 2nd team and as a result, Lawson will have his jersey honored at in the rafters of the Dean Dome once his UNC career ends .  ...

Looking around I found on the ACC Now site a small post about North Carolina being one of the four teams that will be hosting the regional site of the 2009 Coaches versus Cancer . The other three schools to hold a site will be California (Pac 10), Syracuse (Big East) and Ohio State (Big Ten). ...

Not surprising given both do not play until Friday . Also, according to J.P. Giglio, they are using the “half arena” configuration instead of putting the court in the middle of the football field like they did in Detroit. Roy Williams has long been a critic of open practices like ...

According to the ratings. From ACC Now: The network has announced the game pulled in an average overnight household rating/share of 3.4/7, up 183 percent from the comparable window in 2008, which earned a 1.2/2 for coverage of Purdue vs. Michigan, in the metered markets. Sunday’s result ...

This has to be one of the most boring bubble watches that I have ever put together because the groups seem so obvious: UNC WF, Duke, FSU, and Clemson are absolute locks for the NCAAT. I haven’t done a great deal of analysis on tournament seeding, but my gut says that UNC is [...]

Well, after the great win by the Tar Heels over the Blue Devils and UConn losing to Pitt again, it is now time to check out how the main stream media polls (AP & ESPN/USA Today) rearranged the Top 25. I am also going to check out CHN’s poll as well as the one I am now in, the Blog ...

That was what Ty Lawson told UNC Associate AD Steve Kirschner and members of the media standing in the tunnel after Lawson came off the court from doing initials warmups. Kirschner called in to 850 the Buzz this morning to clarify how it all went down: On Saturday, Lawson could not hit the ...

I am now part of this awesome group, runned by the GoMBlog and features well over 50 bloggers. The purpose of this group is each week to pick their Top 25. As the site says it’s like the AP but done by bloggers. While this year I am starting very late in the season I am just honored ...

I referred to this as mythical earlier in the week but still it is an accomplisment nonetheless and one of the stated goals Roy Williams sets for the team. The Heels finish 13-3 in the ACC and after a 0-2 start which had folks sending the women and children to the lifeboats UNC reeled off a ...

Awesome. When the brackets come out next weekend, Duke could be a #2 seed and UNC will be a #1. This game played out about what you would expect between a #1 and #2 seed in a regional final. In that respect it gives me confidence going forward that UNC can handle such situations in the ...

3:00 PM: According to THF reader badbadleroybrown who is at the Dean Dome: Ty Lawson is on the floor and ready to go. No sign of an injury. The last two times UNC has played this game on Senior Day we had the ending in 2005 and The Foul in 2007. Those will be hard to top in terms of ...

227th Edition Hours away from the game I thought I share a letter that I always read before each game against the archrivals, the Duke Blue Devils. You could say it’s becoming a tradition of sort. Just to give you a bit of history on this letter: it has been a long time since it was ...

What: College Basketball Armageddon 2009, Part II Where: Dean Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC TV: CBS Livestats: SCACC Hoops Liveblogging: No Records: UNC 26-3, 12-3 ACC; Duke 25-5, 11-4 ACC UNC-Duke, Senior Day, ACC Regular Season finish, NCAA seeding. No pressure right. Ty ...

I know the more seasoned fans among us will talk about 8 points in 17 seconds but the folks in my generation look to the 2005 game in Chapel Hill. Mostly it is due to dramatic 11-0 run the Heels undertook capped off by the Marvin Williams put back but also because it was the signature moment ...

Is it possible that the Sports Illustrated curse truly exists? It might if you ask me, or even better, if you ask a Ty Lawson that days after the latest SI issue comes out he is using a crutch to walk around thanks to an injury to his left toe, we might just say “yes”. The thing is ...

Later this afternoon I will have my preview of the game between seventh ranked Duke (25-5, 11-4 in the ACC) and second ranked North Carolina (26-3, 12-3 in the ACC) to be played tomorrow at the Dean Dome (tip off at 4:00 p.m. EST). For now, here is a bit of links I have found for this game, ...
