that 1/2 of THE greatest regular season sporting event will occur tomorrow night at 9pm.
UNC @ dook
go heels.
if you want to see hotpocket holley, he is #0. he probably will play 1 minute near the end if any at all. he is extremely talented at the game of football wide receiver but after football he joins the basketball team of UNC.
watch ray felton, UNC's point guard. he's the fastest point in the nation. aweome to witness. watch rashad mccants....the most deadly offensive weapon to play the game. UNC is blessed to have him.
watch the punk jj redick of dook. that acne-back white kid is possibly the greatest pure shooter ever to attend college.
go heels
i don't think i understand what this means.

thats him, pist.
check out his stat line.....what an F'n athlete.
he doesnt get many minutes for the heels basketball team, but he should.
the guy is as fast as a cheetah.
he is a fan fave because he is super incredible on the football field and more than adequate on the hardwood.

I have watched both teams play here in Tallahassee and have to say that they were equally immpressive. It should be a good game.

POB,
be prepared for outrageously biased officiating to the aid of duke.
Being a Gtown fan and holding a grudge from 82 i hate to root for UNC...but...
The ferret must DIE!!!!
GO HEELS
PS: Damn hotpocket, a student athlete in the ACC in 2 sports!!! That is damn commendable, how do you have time for mohaa.

Just damn! I can't believe what I just saw. Looked like a "no motion offense" that last play of the game. Did they even have a play?

While not an everyday thing, two sport athletes are not all that uncommon. I believe Ronald Curry did it for UNC just a couple of years ago. We at FSU had Charlie Ward who won the Heisman Trophy and National Championship while also Leading the ACC in steals and Taking FSU to the Elite Eight in the same season. I believe back in the day, Dieon Sanders lettered in Football, Basketball and track in the same season at FSU while Warrick Dunn was part of the National Championship 400 meter relay team at FSU while playing football as well.
It is my personal opinion that allowing the athletes to compete in multiple sports helps keep the kids out of trouble and can only help yourt recruiting.

boo.
i hate dook.
post game reports are that ray was supposed to find rashad but rashad was 2 teamed so ray, instead of taking the open shot, found option 2 which was a dish to noel who would dish to sean may inside....
problem was that a dook player slapped the ball out of noels hand and out of bounds with no time left.
sucks, but its the game.
a 1 point loss to dook @ dook isnt so bad because on march 6 we play them again @ UNC. most fans i know combine the 2 games each year to see who is best. we loss by 1 at their home so i figure if we win by 2 at UNC, we're the better team.
corny, perhaps, but a fair way to look at it.
as far as 2 sport athletes. UNC had julius peppers of the carolina panthers who was All American in football and played on a final 4 basketball team. ronald curry was the point guard for the same team that year AND the starting QB for UNC's football team.
this year, we have jesse "hotpocket" holley. he doesnt get much play time at basketball though. AND we have david noel who was recruited and scholarshipped for football but eventually quit football and received a basketball scholarship and now only plays for UNC basketball.
lastly, i hate this, but UNC could have a 2 game loss streak because on saturday we play a very good Uconn team @ UCONN. anytime you play away you have a better than not chance of losing.
go heels.

yeah future, the play was that Felton was supposed to dish it to McCants, who was to come off a pick and be open for a 3. They use this play a lot in pressure situations, best executed in UNC's last second win over UCONN last year (great freakin game). Reddick knew his shit though and came off the pick to guard McCants at the arch. And then with this look gone, they were able to put some major pressure on Noel. It was outstaanding defense.
I went to a UVA Duke game at Cameron a couple years ago. It was the most intense and rockin place ever. And it must have been 10x worse for the UNC game, considering its the biggest rivalry in collge hoops. Its amazing how anyone can concentrate in that place. Although a win is always good, a 1 point loss isn;t a bad outcome. Youll get em next time.

the thing is, rock, rashad was merely 1st option. on that play, rashad is coming off a screen from sean which, in theory could easily open sean up as well. but willaims covered sean as redick ran through the screen. now, there is option 3 and that is a pass to noel and into marvin. that is the only option ray had with 4 seconds left. the pass was made but a dook player defended very well and knocked it off a heel and out of bounds ending thegame.
post game quotes had redick saying that K guessed correctly because roy ran the final play he has in the past. uconn, wake-to tie, and with K having drilled the dookies in practice about that last play, they were ready.
it is about being outcoached in the last moments of the game.
what i would have liked to have seen is ray recognizing this and having the heads up to drive the lane and possibly score or get to the line "a la" redick. but, as roy put it, "the players are taught to run the play till it works and dont deviate".
it was a game where the only heel that really showed up was sean may. the dookies had one of their best games of the season. our 2 scoring leaders, rashad mccants and jawad williams, were 3-23. (or somewhere in that range) cant beat dook at dook with those numbers.
if you ask me, we were lucky to be within 1 at the end.
march 6. dook at the dome.
