Brandon Costner had 25 and the Pack had the services of transfer Trevor Ferguson who made a nice debut with five assists in 23 minutes.

Here is a quick glance at what the ACC schools have been doing over the past four days: North Carolina: 12/16-W vs. UNC-A 93-62, 12/19-W vs. FAU 105-52 More nice sweet cupcakes for the Heels as they basically work out the kinks ahead of the ACC schedule. The [...] Continue reading ACC Basketball Update(12/19) Now you know why Matt Doherty thought SMU would be a better job. UNC was up an astounding 65-18 at halftime and with 11 minutes to go in the second half UNC was leading 90-28. At that point I can assume Roy decided not to run the score up on his former player, FAU coach [...] Continue reading UNC 105 Florida Atlantic 52 Brian Barbour on December 19th, 2006 | Comments are closed Where: Dean Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC When: December 19th, 7:00 PM TV: ESPN Hates U Records: UNC-CH 8-1, FAU 4-5 If you are looking for a storyline to this game, ACC Now has it: UNC added Florida Atlantic to the basketball schedule after Matt Doherty left FAU for SMU.

Here are some observations: Brandan Wright is absolutely the real deal. Yes it was UNC-A but everything about the way he plays is intuitive. He has an incredible touch from [...] Continue reading Impressions from Inside the Smith Center Brian Barbour on December 18th, 2006 | Comments are closed I will have more later on some of my impressions of the Heels after seeing them live. This game was everything we expected with UNC going on a 22-1 early in the first half after being down 7-5. The freshman trio of Wright, Lawson, and Ellington continues to chip in major offensive production and also [...] Continue reading UNC-CH 92 UNC-A 63 Brian Barbour on December 16th, 2006 | Comments are closed Where: Dean Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC When: December 16th, 2:00 PM TV: Fox Sports Net Records: UNC-CH 7-1, UNC-A 4-5 Here is a dirty little secret from Tar Heel Fan.

Conclusion: Winthrop could be the 10th place team in the ACC Also on Monday, the coaches voted Clemson #25 which goes to show if you get to [...] Continue reading ACC Basketball Update(12/14) The latest episode of painful stupidity to emanate out of Durham comes from a little brouhaha over the infiltration of Cameron Indoor Stadium during the game last March, by a handful of Robertson Scholars, students who can take classes at both UNC and Duke and the decision of the Duke student government to (childishly) ban [...] Continue reading Duke Fans Show Why They Are Duke Fans Brian Barbour on December 12th, 2006 | Comments are closed Joe Ovies at 850/620 gives us a nice summary of the two successful coaching searches which just wrapped up for UNC and NC State resulting in the hiring of Butch Davis and Tom O’Brien respectively.
