Yeah, 10 and 5 from Larry is probably fine, but he just seems out of sorts to me. Maybe I'm spoiled by Felton and Lawson.

Graves actually did a decent job on Rosario at times, which kind of surprised me. Rosario might have really went off with Ginyard out if Graves wouldn't have stepped up.

Ed missed a lot of point blank looks tonight. You're right though, he needs to be much more aggressive, especially around the rim.

Zeller has been scoring pretty well, but some of the shots he takes just irritate me to no end. He NEVER passes the ball back out if he doesn't have a good look.

UNC is not very good this year. They've had a tough schedule but are terrible away from home. Given the way Roy Williams recruits though, not very good means a 3 or 4 seed and a Sweet Sixteen trip.

I missed the game, went and saw Avatar instead...

Sounds like I didn't miss much though. UNC needs to clean this type of stuff up.

So, Carolina beat Albany 87-70 tonight.

The Heels led 85-47 (yes, a 38 point lead with about 7 or 8 minutes remaining) in the second half and were outscored 23-2 to end the game. Are you kidding me? What the hell is wrong with these guys? I was hoping that this stretch of games after the Texas loss would allow the team to build momentum, but they have been very unimpressive against Rutgers and Albany. Only one more OOC game against College of Charleston before ACC play begins. It's gonna be a long ACC season if this crap continues.

I recorded this game on ESPNU tonight, but I'm not so sure I wanna watch it now.

Some stats from tonight against Albany.

Henson - 8 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assts, 2 stls, 2 blks in 19 minutes...really glad to see this.

McDonald - 9 pts, 3 rebs, 2 assts, 1 stl in 17 minutes...also glad to see this.

Thompson - 15 pts and 5 rebs

Davis - 18 pts, 8 rebs, 4 blks

Drew II - 9 pts, 6 assts, 4 rebs

Graves had 9, Zeller had 6, D. Wear had 6, and T. Wear had 4. After his 18 points against Rutgers, Strickland took only 2 shots, scoring 3 points, but he did have 5 assists.

Wow who was on the court for the last 8 minutes?? I'm hoping 5 walk-ons or student managers saw extensive playing time. TWO POINTS in 8 minutes???

DVR'd the game and I'm watching it now, but from what I could tell from the box score and play-by-play on ESPN, the walk-ons only played the last couple minutes. Some of the bench guys were playing for those other six minutes, which is still pretty pathetic. I think they obviously lost a lot of focus after going up by 38 and they could have been a little tired because Roy made them practice twice yesterday after the poor showing against Rutgers. Whatever the case may be, it's still inexcusable. Gotta get it together soon.

Just realized that Zanesville grad Logan Aronhalt plays for Albany. Didn't know he went there.

I couldn't resist the opportunity. :)
Is that Vince Carter, Julius Peppers and Antawn Jamison? If so, that pic is even better.
