ACC Now’s JP Giglio pegs UNC at #3 behind Virginia Tech and Miami.
UPDATE: The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Packer is done broadcasting college basketball. Packer released a statement in conjunction with CBS’ confirmation of their decision not to bring him back saying “In the history of nationally televised basketball, I’ve done probably 90 percent of the great games, so I don’t want to be going to do games of a different status, so I have no interest in that…”
Hard to argue the point. If he is slated to do only ACC games how many great games can he expect? Duke-UNC once a year? The ACC Tournament? I would imagine it is difficult to go about the regular season schedule knowing you are done after the conference season concludes.
So farewell Billy. I would say it has been fun or something like that but it really hasn’t.

ACC Now has a breakdown of the ACC schedule for the upcoming basketball season. The order of things will be released in August but this will give you a glimpse of UNC faces in the ACC next season.
Nothing like thinking of basketball in the summer. Then again we never stopped thinking about it so this is just a continuation of the norm.
850 the Buzz’s Bomani Jones talked with IC’s Greg Barnes on Wednesday. Barnes was in Orlando last week for the draft camp and had numerous discussions with scouts about the three Tar Heels. It is an informative interview including some good questions from Jones such as:
1. Why does it seem when these guys declared Ty Lawson was the one who looked most likely to leave and now it seems like he is the most likely to stay?
2. Jones also raises whether or not the parental influence is playing a role here. He notes that Danny Green and Wayne Ellington have had fathers who were publicly involved and who also seem to be the most anxious to leave versus Lawson’s parents who have been silent.
Barnes also discusses Roy’s role in all of this and points out that he is still very much involved in the situation for all three.

That is should Green(and others) return.
