North Carolina Game Preview
Tonight's Maui Invitational Championship game between Notre Dame and North Carolina has a definite March feel to it as two of the top teams go head-to-head in what should be a marquee classic.
Video: Longhorns use 21-1 run to knock off Oregon
After losing to Notre Dame, Texas rebounded to take third place in the Maui Invitational with a win over Oregon. Texas forward Damion James stepped up big with his best game of the young season by pouring in 21 points and grabbing 12 boards.
Ed Davis: Consummate Team Player
You always want a guy like this.
I recall reading on the IC message board someone saying that Ed Davis was the first to congratulate a teammate on a great defensive play. The poster pointed out what a great teammate he was. Based on that and this interview with ACC Now, it is apparent Ed Davis has a team first focus:
Freshman forward Ed Davis recorded the second double-
UNC 98 Oregon 69
Box Score
Any questions?
By far the best game of the season for this team. Oregon, I think is a decent team, who when hitting their shots, would have made this game much closer. Still UNC gets huge swaths of credit for playing some tough defense and for their execution on the offensive end.
Tyler Hansbrough returned to action and has 16 points, 12 of them from the FT lin
Oregon vs UNC: The Last Thoughts
After a great game yesterday, but against a Division II team, with the uncertainty of whether or not we will see the reigning National Player of the Year, Tyler Hansbrough, it is time for me to do my "Last Thoughts", with just a bit over an hour before...
UNC 102 Notre Dame 87
Box Score
In 2004 UNC won the final by beating Iowa 106-92. Iowa was not #8 in the country at the time.
Tyler Hansbrough is back. Ty Lawson is back. Deon Thompson kept it rolling. The result was a sound beating of #8 Notre Dame who only made it close by having Kyle McAlarney shoot threes from anywhere on the court during the final four minutes. For all of McAlarn
Separated At Birth?
Of course, the ultimate guy who should be a muppet is still Dick Vitale (they could have Dickie V finding all the Vs on Sesame Street, baby!), but Tyler Hansbrough makes a case...Pyscho T vs. Psycho Beaker! </td&a... ...
A Headline You May Never See (Again)
The headline for Robbi Pickeral's post over at ACC Now says "Copeland leads Tar Heels to victory."Doesn't sound quite right does it, but it's true. Prior to the start of the Maui Invitational, there is this little event called the EA Sports Maui Invitational at the Xbox 360 Players' Pary, and ...
MONDAY NIGHT BASKETBALL
No. 1 UNC 115, Chaminade (Silverswords, 2,836 students, Honolulu, HI) 70 a€" No doubt, tiny D2 Chaminade daydreams about 1982 when the over-matched Silverswords upset the top ranked Virginia Cavaliers and Ralph Sampson in one of NCAA hoops biggest upsets of all time. However, this isn't hoop ...
Notre Dame vs UNC: The Last Thoughts
I thought the first game against Chaminade would not mean much. It turned out that more or less that was the case. I said the second game would show us something about this team. Turned out that I think it showed us plenty, a lot, about a team fully loaded even when not fully healthy. Now, with ...
UNC vs Chaminade: The Final Thoughts
With an hour, more or less, from the beginning of the game between top ranked North Carolina and Division II Chaminade it is time to do my favorite post for any game, the one I call the "Last Thoughts". If you have followed this blog, this post is all about what my gut feeling tells me or what I ...
UNC wins last night, goes on to play Oregon tonight
It was a good game that North Carolina (4-0) played against Chaminade, with the final score being a whooping 115 to 70 for the Heels. But, before anyone begins to do the hurrah's it was a Division II squad, undemanned at that, and maybe the most interesting thing I learned in the game was the ...
Notre Dame vs UNC: The Recap
Some people, the skeptics, might say of the game between top ranked North Carolina (6-0) and eighth ranked Notre Dame (4-1), that the Heels could not win by more than 15 points. In the final of the Maui Invitational, some might say that winning 102 to 87 was overshadowed by the fact that the ...
UNC 115 Chaminade 70
Did everything they were supposed to, especially with about four minutes left in the first half on. Since it was a DII team we can glean nothing from the experience other than career highs for JB Tanner and Justin Watts who both had nine.
Tyler Hansbrough was held out but because Roy did not want to do three games in a row. The intention was to play him the next two games but...
