Today is Media Day for the the 2009-10 basketball season. Practice officially kicks off tomorrow at UNC’s Late Night with Roy festivities. Before we delve into the season ahead, let’s take one more look back at the 2009 National Champions. Okay 2010 Heels, your title defense begins now. Share This Post: The excellent blog Every Day Should Be Saturday pegs the Heels perfectly: The best defense in the conference, and a tribute to the species of the armadillo, a species Butch Davis developed an affinity for while coaching in South Florida. See, sometimes they cross the road down there, and if you catch them just the [...] Continue reading EDSBS On UNC A very weird story I saw posted on Twitter by @darrenrovell1. NBA player and former Georgia Tech star Chris Bosh, sued a company called Hoopology.net for using the domain name “chrisbosh.com” in web ads unrelated to Bosh. It turns out Bosh won the case and got $120,000 out of the deal plus the rights to [...] Continue reading You Guys Can Have Your Domain Name Back Now According to Roy: “John will begin the season on the perimeter as a three and I think he will stay there all season. He has tremendously long arms and will probably block more shots than any perimeter player in college basketball. With Ed (Davis) and Deon (Thompson), we may block more shots than any team [...] Continue reading Henson Will Play The Perimeter First of all, you hate it for both of these guys who are getting plenty of experience as freshman. As you look forward(and that is about what we are left to do here) next season UNC should improve offensively on the strength of players like Jamal Womble and A.J. Blue getting experience now. Womble fractured [...] Continue reading Blue And Womble Have Surgery You can call this an epilogue of the Harrison Barnes-UNC-Duke waltz on October 5th. Former Wake Forest/SCAR coach Dave Odom in the hours following the flurry of visits to the Barnes home made some interesting assertions about how it all went down. Odom, who is now associated with Buster Sports, spoke at length about the [...] Continue reading Harrison Barnes: Dave Odom Doesn’t Know What The Heck He Is Talking About The offense and defense by the numbers.

These numbers make my eyes bleed. It is amazing how two units on the same team [...] Continue reading Statistical Overview Too bad said help won’t be available this season. UNC secured a huge commitment over the weekend when Wilmington Hoggard OT T.J. Leifheit gave UNC a verbal commitment. Leifheit had offers from Tennessee, USC and LSU but chose the Heels after being on campus this weekend. Having witnessed the state of the current offensive line [...] Continue reading Offensive Line Help Is On The Way Yeah it’s a crappy deal but that is basically how it rolls in Chapel Hill and presumptive starting PG Larry Drew is aware of that: Larry Drew is not Ty Lawson. Nor should he try to be. But if ACC championships are to be won and deep NCAA tournament runs made this season, Drew will [...] Continue reading The Season Rides on Drew Defense? We don’t need no stinking defense! Eleven ACC teams were in action on Saturday, eight of them scored 40 points or more. Three of those were against out of conference competition. The other five were in ACC games. In fact Boston College was the only ACC team that did not do much of anything [...] Continue reading ACC Week #6: Review Let’s be clear upfront. This was all about the defense. I actually watched this game on ESPN360 and I am not convinced the offense is much better than it was a week ago. Yes there were changes made and it was nice to see the rushing attack show up for once. Then again what does [...] Continue reading UNC 42 Georgia Southern 12 |
