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 [...] Continue reading Dayton 79 UNC 68 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 [...] Continue reading UNC-Dayton Game Thread Where: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY When: Thursday, April 1st, 7:00 PM Live Stats: SCACC Hoops TV: ESPN Records: UNC 20-16; Dayton 24-12 NIT Results: UNC def.

Illinois St, Cincinnati, Illinois, Old Miss This is obviously very weird but for the 2nd straight season UNC has a [...] Continue reading NIT Championship: #4 UNC vs #3 Dayton 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 [...] Continue reading One More Look At The No-Call 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 [...] Continue reading UNC 68 URI 67 (OT) 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.

Plenty of time to take off from the Triangle early Saturday morning, get to the hotel to check in, and [...] Continue reading Some other news and notes… Hello. My name is Doc and I was an NIT naysayer. Hi, Doc. OK, I admit it. I was one of those folks who thought the season was over and was kind of hoping UNC would not receive an NIT bid, or would turn it down (assuming you can even turn it down). At 16-15 [...] Continue reading Confessions of an NIT Naysayer So it will be Rhode Island next Tuesday at 9:15 PM on ESPN in the NIT Semifinals from Madison Square Garden. Rhode Island trailed Virginia Tech 60-48 in the 2nd half Wednesday night before going on a 31-12 run to win 79-72. A little UNC vs Rhode Island history for you.
