At least Smith played in the tournament in 1984, plus UNC was 7-1 in the eight games he missed, but it no doubt changed the complexion of that team. I agree that everyone but McDonald is back next year. McAdoo is clearly not ready for the NBA and I'm sure he'll be told that by multiple people...

Today could be interesting. Teams often rally around a fallen teammate (Andre Ware of Louisville the most recent example). ISU will play extremely small, so the question to me is will UNC be forced to match, or can we keep Meeks in the rotation and get him quality looks inside. JMM has to...

Okay, the brackets have been out a few days, so the question is how far can UNC go?? My opinion is they have a realistic chance of getting to the Elite 8 if they can get by Iowa State. Not that I'm discounting Providence, but UNC is 10-0 in their first tournament game under Roy. Providence is...

Yeah, not being able to convert on the turnovers at the end hurt. At least the finish may have gotten a little more interesting. Other than Marcus Paige, the basketball IQ of the UNC players just seems so low. McAdoo was trying to draw charges with 3 and 4 fouls, and commits a stupid foul for...

Does the Duke loss to Wake increase or decrease confidence in a Heel victory?? Obviously, Duke has been struggling of late in shooting the 3 (live by it, die by it), but does the loss refocus them? It isn't too often that a Duke team loses 2 in a row, but since this team is younger than most...

So what does everyone think about the upcoming rematch this Saturday night?? UNC has not been playing its best ball in the last few games, and is still VERY challenged at the line. I get the sense Duke is going to be out for blood, and it could quickly turn into a long night for the Heels...

Our bigs made their center look like an all american. Meeks and McAdoo had almost all of their attempts blocked. McAdoo also was terrible from the free throw line again. He did however, make a key basket at the end of regulation. I'm not sure if McDonald was bothered by his injury, but he...

I think you can watch a replay on theacc.com It is definitely worth watching the last 4 minutes or so of regulation and the overtime. After this performance Marcus Paige has to at least be in the discussion for ACC player of the year. An unbelievable performance by that young man (and Warren).

I saw that Meeks and McDonald are both nursing injuries, though both were able to practice. Hopefully, it does not affect McDonald's stroke, which seems to finally be rounding into form. This is a HUGE game for State as far as any chance at the Tournament. They need a quality win, so they...

When you consider the Belmont and Texas losses were solely due to poor free throw shooting that has somewhat been corrected, it would seem the Heels should be no worse than a 5 seed at this point. As long as there are no more bad losses (anyone but Duke) on the remaining conference schedule...

The rest of the schedule up to the Dook rematch should be a sweep for the Heels. Need to avoid the let down game between now and then, starting with tomorrow against Wake!

I like the new rules as it provides more freedom of movement on offense. The problem is the total inconsistency of the calls from game to game as a result. Early in the year everything was called, then it swung back to last year and teams could mug the ballhandler without fouling, but against...

The Heels absolutely need to stay out of foul trouble. They also need to stay in front of the ball to avoid the drive and kick for 3. Duke is not invincible as they showed over the weekend. UNC needs to get off to a good start. McAdoo should be well rested ;), but I just hope he doesn't try...

I don't know if I'd say its bigger than the Duke game, but it is definitely important to win and stay up on Pitt for the 4th spot and a double bye in the conference tourney. Right now Duke is only 1 game up in the loss column, so a win tonight and Thursday actually puts UNC in 3rd in the...

I think UNC gets a win also. There is a slight fear of an emotional letdown of not having played Duke in front of all the students that would have gotten in on Wednesday. However, this game is huge for the conference standings as it is the only game between them, so the winner has the tie breaker.

Question is who guards Parker? Whether it's McAdoo or Tokoto, they need to stay out of foul trouble. Hopefully, Brice shows up like he has in the last couple. We're going to need double figures out of him.

Bring on the Dookies! Glad the first one is at the Smith Center. Actually think the Heels have a shot. Not sure I would have said that 2 weeks ago.

I sure miss the CBS Sports message board. That board was very active. Would love to see more fans over here.

Amazingly enough, UNC is the number 1 defense against the three in the ACC based on FG%. I am curious to see them against Pitt. UNC's big men have played extremely soft this year and everyone, except Brice Johnson, seems to have trouble finishing at the rim. Officiating will be key. UNC is a...

They have looked better, but they have played lesser talent. They should be able to take ND in South Bend, but it will be a test. Then we'll really see if there has been an improvement or not when they play Pitt and Duke. I get the feeling the play of late has been more a reflection of the...

The Clemson streak appears to be in serious jeopardy this weekend.

I think Justin Jackson is supposed to have decent range. But yes, we could use some 3 point shooting, and that is where the loss of Hairston (and Bullock) is killing us this year. Not sure if Vaughn is supposed to have that kind of range, but it seems he may be a bit slimey given some recent...

The landscape of college basketball has changed due to one and done's and the increase of talent nation-wide. The Blue Blood schools now face more competition for recruits and the turnover at these programs makes it hard to have a stable program. That is why schools like Gonzaga, Butler and...

Agreed. There has been a definite let down with the PJ news. Let's not forget this team would be a lot different with PJ and Bullock, who surprised Roy by leaving early. I expect a spirited effort against the Cuse this weekend, though I doubt it will result in a win. UNC will be 0-3 and it...

This team is going to be fine, especially in the future. These guys are 4 year players (except maybe McAdoo), and most of them are freshmen and sophomores. Add next year's class and they will be back as an elite team, even if McAdoo leaves, and based on his season to date that is looking less...
