Whenever this game(Dayton/Ole Miss) decides to end we will have the 2nd of the semi's.

I think if Carolina plays like they have the past 3 games they win...

Good start for Drew II going coast to coast for an easy lay in.

North Carolina will be just fine. This season was just a blip on the radar screen. I fully expect the Tar Heels to be back in the bigger picture next season.

lol URI needs to get back on D. UNC is way too fast for the full court press.

Love seeing Drew II take it coast-to-coast... It's almost like I'm watching UNC :)

Defense is playing pretty tough too.

I tell ya what. The last 3 games have given me a lot of hope for next year.

The Heels are playing better D, getting out and running effectively, and not turning the ball over as much. It's really nice to see it finally.

UNC will definitely be back next year. They won't be down two years in a row under Roy. Not with the recruits coming in.

Spokin like a ND fan.
lmao.

This coming from a guy who hasn't seen his team win one since 2001?

Guess when the Heels have won?

2005 AND 2009.

ND what?

Idiot.

Oh, and who the hell spells "spoken" as "spokin".. :huh:

This performance by North Carolina, as usual, has gone from decent to flippin pathetic. They have one field goal in about the last 8 minutes. This game should be out of hand in favor of Carolina, but instead, Rhode Island leads 30-27 just before halftime. Too many turnovers and too much shooting from Will Graves. Roy needs to sit him down for the rest of the night.

Deon hasn't been hitting his little turn around but he has played very well tonight.

I agree. He's hustling and getting the boards. He's also getting RI's center on that turnaround every time, but he's not been able to hit it.

Hopefully it comes to him in the second half. I love the hustle these guys are giving though.

30-30 at half.

Dayton Flyers (Thanks Wilbur and Orville!)

Ole Miss (Eli Manning resembles a horse)

Rhode Island (quick....name 3 former players)

North Carolina Tarheels

(sing in Sesame Street tune) One of these things is not like the other....or is it the Muppets?

Cothran is preparing to become the next guy in a long line of players to drop 30 on Carolina this season.

The Heels need to put together a run and beat this team RIGHT NOW!

Looking for an interview that shows Coach K saying UNC will win the NIT...... haven't found it yet. Hopefully he did his proper duty and put a hex on the Heels

Will Graves is ruining my life.

He is so clueless sometimes.

Pretty difficult dunk since he took off from so far away, but man, he needed to convert on that one.

Rafftery wanted it BAD! lol
