Brian Barbour on February 28th, 2006 |  Comments are closed Following Mike Krzyzewski’s apparent refusal to actually address the referee issue on ESPN Sunday night the N&O sent J.P. Giglio over to Durham to question Coach K on it. In what barely qualifies as an interview(he only asked him four questions) Giglio asks Krzyzewski if (1) a coach can influence a game by talking to [...] Continue reading Mike Krzyzewski: Professional Spinster Brian Barbour on February 26th, 2006 | Comments are closed In a game indicative of how well things are going for UNC and how bad it is at Maryland, North Carolina whipped the Terps 81-57 in Chapel Hill.

Boston College gave a big boost to North Carolina today by knocking off NC State 74-72 in double overtime at the RBC Center in Raleigh.

The catch was he had 30 days to spend the money and have nothing to show for. He also had to do so [...] Continue reading Isiah Thomas is Insane As the end of the regular season approaches the debate over who will receive what accolades from the media. In the ACC the dominance of Duke’s J.J. Redick and UNC freshman Tyler Hansbrough have essentially silenced any debate on Player and Freshman of the Year. Coach of the Year is a different story. The debate [...] Continue reading The ACC Coach of the Year Debate Brian Barbour on February 22nd, 2006 | Comments are closed Duke found out tonight what happens if J.J. Redick has a bad night. Fortunately for them they were playing Georgia Tech and they won 73-66. If Redick lays an egg like that in the Sweet Sixteen against someone who can actually hold it together for 40 minutes, Duke will be taking the quick flight back [...] Continue reading ACC Wrap Up Brian Barbour on February 22nd, 2006 | Comments are closed Click here for tonight’s live blog of NC State at UNC Welcome to the RBC Center for a key ACC battle between North Carolina and NC State. 9:04 PM Tim Brant and Billy Packer with the call.
