Brian Barbour on April 6th, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) I will stress this is from UNC player Twitter feeds and for all I know they could be screwing around. However, given some other things I have heard, this is probably legitimate:
First up John Henson:
@ldrew2 they say @eddavis32 announcing his return this week…
Next Larry Drew:
RT @johnhenson31 @ldrew2 they say @eddavis32 announcing [...]

Brian Barbour on April 6th, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) Needless to say this season for a UNC fan could be called the worst case scenario. A year ago we were all in Blue Heaven. UNC won a 2nd national title in five years. Roy Williams seemingly had a train rolling that no one was going to slow down. In fact we were all so [...]

Brian Barbour on April 5th, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) We hold out hope that Butler figures out how to stop Duke from reigning threes down on them or better yet Duke shoots 2-25 from behind the arc. Otherwise, I don’t there is much that is going to prevent Duke from winning their fourth national title nor derail the media train which will proclaim that [...]

As the Evil Empire prepares to play for a national championship, it is easy to draw a parallel to a time not all that long ago when the roles of Duke and UNC were reversed.
The time was 1992, [...]

Brian Barbour on April 3rd, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) Make no bones, this is a weak Final Four when you consider the caliber of players here. Someone can argue that 2006 was weak based on the lack of a #1 seed and an #11 being there. However, Florida had NBA players. I think UCLA has a couple. This Final Four is more about the [...]

Brian Barbour on April 1st, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) Well it is over.
UNC made a good run through the NIT. The season had been so disappointing and the ride this team went on was encouraging to watch. As I said in the game thread, what has happened over the past few weeks has been about giving confidence to the players returning for next [...]

Brian Barbour on April 1st, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) Before the NIT we were debating whether this was the worst season in the past 50 years. It was neck and neck with 2002 on which season would be rated lower. After a spirited NIT run, this team has a chance to be the 3rd worse team in the past 50 years. Congratulations! Let’s rush [...]

Brian Barbour on March 31st, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) Apparently I need to spend more time on the Inside Carolina message boards following the latest rumors. For some reason Larry Drew keeps cranking out denials of various rumors that he intends to transfer. The latest comes on a direct question from IC’s Greg Barnes:
Larry Drew has been the subject of transfer rumors throughout [...]

Brian Barbour on March 31st, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) One of the joys of the internet is we now have online replays of controversial calls for bloggers to obsess over. College Hoops Journal has super slow motion YouTube video of the URI’s Lamonte Ulmer tripping with seconds remaining in the game. College Hoops Journal also does a good job of making it abundantly clear [...]

Brian Barbour on March 31st, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) Wow that was ugly and feel free to break out whatever cliche you want to hang on to here.
Better to be lucky than good…A win is a win…did not deserve to win but we’ll take it…etc, etc, etc.
It was one of the stranger games I have seen, especially involving UNC since there were [...]

Brian Barbour on March 30th, 2010 |  - (Comments are closed) No live blog just Twitter feeds, including C.Michael who is at MSG and will be making sure URI does not steal the argyle stripe on UNC’s jersey. Comments if you have ‘em in the usual spot.
