Commercial Roy

850 the Buzz brings us a new Coke commercial from none other than Roy Williams who decided it was time to go out and snag some of that sweet, sweet endorsement money Coach K has been raking in for years now.

Obviously this will draw comparisions to Coach K’s commerical ventures as well as [...]

A Quick Response to a Commenter

I had a commenter register his opinion on one of my posts concerning the all time wins record which Bob Knight passed earlier this month. Usually I respond with the comments section, if at all, unless they offer up something exceptionally insightful or relatively asinine. Unfortunately for this guy, his was the latter and I [...]

UNC 77 Georgia Tech 61

For a second consecutive game UNC played great defense and despite further turnover problems a balance offense help the Heels dominate the game.  For the first half it was the long absent perimeter game and the play of Reyshawn Terry who had 10 points and two threes.  The interior game was largely absent but UNC [...]

Georgia Tech at UNC: Live Blog

So, this game rated a visit from the College Game Day folks and (shudder) Dick Vitale. Good to see Huber Davis back in the Dean Dome. He was one of my favorite players in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it will be a fairly entertaining game. Georgia Tech is second in the conference in [...]

Georgia Tech at UNC

Where: Dean E. Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC When: January 19th, 9:00 PM TV: ESPN Records: UNC 16-2, 3-1 ACC; Georgia Tech 13-4, 2-2 ACC

Basically this game will come down whether GT can do anything with the Tar Heel duo on the interior.  Last year Hansbrough went for a UNC freshman record of 40 [...]

Live Blog Tonight Starting with College Game Day

I will be online at 8 PM when College GameDay hits the air with my game preview and some comments from the College Game Day crew since I am fairly convinced they will be making various asinine statements.

Game live blog will commence at game time.

See you then!!

Big ACC Weekend

As is always the case in January and February, the ACC has a full slate today starting with BC at Clemson and ending tonight with GT at UNC. In between we have Miami at FSU at 2 PM and Duke traveling to Raleigh to face the Wolfpack in what is sure to be a very [...]

ESPN/AP Cannot Read a Box Score

I had a commenter, Wayne, point out that the AP written/ESPN posted recap for the UNC-Clemson game contained a very interesting and confusing line(emphasis mine):

Wright, the Atlantic Coast Conference leader in field goal percentage, was a miserable 6-of-9 in a loss to Virginia Tech last Saturday that cost the Tar Heels their perfect conference [...]

How Good is Duke’s Defense Really?

I read the recap for Duke’s 62-40 win over Wake Forest on ESPN.com and there was a great deal of time spent talking about how great the Duke defense was in this game. Apparently Wake has not scored as little as 40 in an ACC game since Billy Packer was in grade school. And I [...]

Classic Roy

One of Roy Williams endearing qualities is his ability to provide fairly humorous soundbites during his press conferences. Wednesday against Clemson, Roy was in rare form. Here are some choice snippets from the postgame talk with the media via Tar Heel Blue:

They have great quickness. Reyshawn coming down and pulled up shooting a [...]

ACC Basketball Update(1/18)

First of all, the biggest news of the ACC night Wednesday came off the court with Boston College’s Al Skinner dismissing Sean Williams and Akida McLain from the team for the always vague violation of team rules.  The loss of McLain is inconsequential but Williams is irreplacable since he was 3rd in the nation with [...]
