You knew I was going to find a way to “nerdify” the process of filling out the brackets, didn’t you? In preparing to fill out my bracket, I decided to look back through the KenPom archives to see if I could develop a statistical profile of past Final 4 participants and champions as a guide [...] Continue reading Bracket Math Roy Williams often cites Dean Smith as having said that a team’s momentum had to be created when you entered tournament play. Nowhere was that on display more starkly than this past weekend when the Heels rolled into Greensboro in less than sharp fashion. Contrast that to the previous week where UNC was very good [...] Continue reading Anyone Worried? Ah, March. Time for the madness that is spring football. Wait, what? Believe it or not, as the UNC basketball team heads to Charlotte to begin NCAA tournament play, spring practice for Carolina football will begin on Wednesday. And with the beginning of spring practice comes some news and notes: [...] Continue reading Football News & Notes, March Madness Edition Okay, our Tar Heels are back in the Big Dance so we are all far more interested in this thing than we were last year. That also means it is time to pick some brackets. Click on this link to join the THF Tournament Pick’Em. That should take you directly to the group page so [...] Continue reading THF Tournament Pick’Em Well that was somewhat foreseeable. UNC had played with fire in their previous 2 games and yesterday they finally got burned. I also think some of yesterday’s loss is owed to the way the Heels played in the first half of each of their first two ACCT games. Making back-to-back second-half comebacks takes a lot [...] Continue reading UNC vs. Duke: Beyond the Box Where will the Heels end up? Will they be a #2 or #3 seed? Will they get a trip to Charlotte for the first two rounds? Discussion, gripes and such go here. Yeah that sucked. The problem with Duke and hating those guys so much is losing a game like this really sticks in your craw. I would have much rather played Virginia Tech and lost than stomach this. At any rate, UNC just did not have a good weekend in general. It took some incredible efforts [...] Continue reading Duke 75 UNC 58 This could be an epic game. I know it annoys some fans from other ACC schools but the ACC needed this game. The national media have been crapping on the ACC all season long for being a weak league. Putting the best rivalry in college basketball in display in the title game trumps what most [...] Continue reading ACC: UNC-Duke Game Thread What: ACC Championship Where: Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC TV: ESPN/ACC Network Records: UNC 26-6, Duke 29-4 ACC Tournament Results: UNC: def. Miami 61-59, Clemson 92-87(OT); Duke: def. MD 87-71, VT 77-63 So last week these two played for all the marbles in the ACC regular season. Now we have found more marbles to play for [...] Continue reading ACC Championship: #1 UNC vs #2 Duke Harrison Barnes showed us why he will be the #1-pick in whichever NBA Draft he chooses to enter. Really, the analysis of this game is boils down to nothing more than the fact that Barnes was playing at a level far above any of the other nine players who were on the court with him, [...] Continue reading UNC vs. Clemson: Beyond the Box |
