I am happy the Heels won this game, especially because of how intolerable the State fans are. The State fans are getting what they deserve for being so hateful towards Herb Sendek, who is a great coach and a great man.

Now that I have that thought out of the way, I hope the Heels keep their focus for the next 2 games, because February 11 is not so far, far, away.

Yeah and if you heard the postgame he said that in a very terse way as to cut off any further discussion of it.

From Roy:

On why William Graves did not play:
“I didn’t want him to play.”

Ouchy… can anyone say doghouse???

Also, what was that stat that was used in comparison to championship teams involving front court/back court points and percentages?

Did anyone else notice this stat line that the broadcasters put out?

They were basically saying that our stats in this regard are very similar to championship’s teams stats.

I still don’t know what to make of this team. Such great plays sometimes, and pretty average at others. I am sure the same could be said about any team in the top 10 right now, maybe last year just made me used to near excellence. Good bench play can probably erradicate any negative thoughts though. THF, what do you make of this team at this juncture?

I don’t think Bobby could have played Fells any harder on the ball– Fells was in the zone with his shots. Denying him the ball would have been more effective defensively, but I don’t think Bobby could have done that against the quicker Fells. Maybe Danny could have done that better. Otherwise, Bobby was busting it on defense.

At some point, Bobby’s shots have got to start falling. Maybe he’ll have a Wayne type of moment that a few baskets in a row will fall that can be a breakthrough for him. State was daring him to take shots today. It was obvious that he doesn’t have a lot of confidence in his shot right now.

Man, I really feel for the guy. I hope he gets it straightened out. He’s hit some real daggers in the past.

I have to say, Roy is one of the only coaches in america that would even think about benching the reigning player of the year. Amazing that Roy benched Tyler.

I think the Heels played great. Only problems were ball handling and that old problem of rebounding. Tyler had a great game so did Ty. I didn’t see Wayne and Danny as much as I would have thought but Drew and Davis had good games. Overall great win for the Heels.

Hope Cope (haha that ryhmed) will be ok. Hope Roy realizes it was a spur of the moment thing and he wasn’t thinking. Would love to see him play if not start on senior night.
