2005 was our best team ever. But for a fluke shot in the dying seconds by Ohio State and refs who clearly wanted North Carolina to win, we would have had the greatest team in NCAA history.

The joy of watching Dee, Deron and Luther pass the ball around was something I will not forget.

I beleive the X factors will be Ace, Giorgi and/or Grandison to pull this off.

I wonder if we play some zone today- I don’t remember the last time we played it - but the only way OSU keeps this close is getting hot from three and I think we can take that away with a high ball pressure zone

If we keep our zone high and keep Kofi under the basket, switch all the high screens we essentially take away their offense- yes we likely give up some drives by Washington and walker but they would be going right at Kofi under the basket - I’ll take our chances with that, plus it takes away their cutters when Kofi is planted in the middle. Most of all it eliminates Kofi guarding Liddell out on the three point line which is not good for us

I also like it to get some game practice in on for the tournament in case we have to go to it- positives all around

Let's just outscore them, that's my plan!

Will CBS stagger start time for the game? Have a feeling this A10 title game is going to go late

To my recolection....there was zero dripples the entire year.

I can trace the descent of the program to the commencement of drippling in early 2007 once the BT slate got going.

EDIT: Sorry. That should be "dissent." :ROFLMAO:

AutoCorrect is the bane of our age.

Hawkins clearly was not BIG ready.

From what I have watched, he was doing good things each game . . . except for the last one he played. He made 3 critical mistakes in a row and was pulled. Hasn't been back on the floor since.

serious question

this whole March Madness thing is TV/money driven. Dont the TV networks covering these early rounds prefer to have the marquee games between 6-9 EST? of all years where every game is played in Indiana, wouldnt you think the big games ( ours and the other top teams) would be at night ?
