Tracking Roy’s Ties

Yeah, it has come to this.

The UNC blog, The Rafters, has been tracking Roy Williams’ choice of ties all season.  The current updated list can be found here.

A tricky diagnosis

“What’s wrong with the Tar Heels?”

This question has occupied pundits and fans alike and has generated a variety of possible answers as Carolina has stumbled in three of its last four games.  But as C. Michael has demonstrated in his excellent work on guard play, turnovers, and defensive efficiency, it is hard to pinpoint [...]

Ed Davis Could Miss Wake Forest Game

Sigh…

ACC Now is reporting that Ed Davis could be out for Wake Forest as he recovers from what seems like the 178th sprained ankle of the Roy Williams era. Larry Drew, who sat out of practice Monday due to a hyperextended knee will be back today. If Davis cannot go, it is looking like [...]

A look at defense and efficiency

The previous statistical attempts to pinpoint a (or the) cause of UNC’s struggles this year looking at guard play and turnovers were telling in that they really didn’t tell us much at all.  Neither pointed to a single area  where one could say, “That’s it!  That’s what is really holding the Tar Heels back!”  As [...]

Heels Still Ranked…Barely

That annoying sound you heard was the sound of UNC’s collective fingernails scraping the side of the Top 25 rankings as they slid down it.  The Heels did manage to stay in the USA/Today Coaches Poll at #23  and the AP poll at #24. With that I am picturing the bus with two wheels off [...]

Five reasons to be optimistic

So you’ve suffered through your office ribbing after UNC’s pathetic showing at Clemson on Wednesday, and cursed enough Saturday (and throughout the season) to necessitate a trip to church on Sunday.  The only people who seem to feel your pain are UConn fans, whose team lost their 6th game in 18 tries yesterday after a [...]

Just a Reminder

Yes we are frustrated.  Yes it is bordering on insanity to watch the same mistakes over and over.  A season like this tends to test the standards of civil discussion on which this blog was launched. While I expect emotions will continue to run high as long as we see the Tar Heels struggle I [...]

Five reasons to be pessimistic

Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech was deja vu all over again for Carolina fans who sat through Wednesday night’s debacle at Clemson.  And though the Tar Heels fought back valiantly to take the lead late, ultimately the effort goes down as a loss, whether it was two points or twenty points.

Nearly two-thirds of the [...]

GT 73 UNC 71

Well, what can you say? Yes, there was some fight and toughness on display in the 2nd half, especially from Will Graves who played the best basketball he has ever played as a Tar Heel. Twenty four points from Graves, 22 of which came in the 2nd half was simply not enough to yank the [...]

UNC-Georgia Tech Game Thread

The Yellow Jackets are plenty dangerous.  I imagine UNC will be plenty focused after the loss to Clemson and if they aren’t then whatever hope we might be holding onto is going to quickly disappear.  Sorry to be such a gloomer but if you heard Roy Williams’ press conference on Friday, he sounded just as [...]
