It has actually been awhile since I vehemently disagreed with Caulton Tudor but here ya go: This is not 2009. It’s 2008. That’s why North Carolina coach Butch Davis should start Cameron Sexton at quarterback when the Tar Heels face N.C. State on Saturday at noon in Chapel Hill. ... http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/tudor-start-sexton/ That depends on what happens with the rest of the walking wounded. Jeff Goodman at Fox Sports has essentially dismissed the injury to Tyler Zeller as not being significant this season because minutes were going to be sparse anyway with Tyler Hansbrough and Deon Thompson starting followed by Ed Davis and ... http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/what-zellers-injury-means/ UPDATE #5: UNC officially announced that Tyler Zeller had suffered a broken wrist from his fall under the basket against Kentucky.  Zeller was admitted to UNC hospitals today and had successful surgery on his left wrist.  The injury is likely  to be season ending with the timeframe for recovery by ... http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/zellers-wrist/ I tend to concur with the headline on this at Awful Announcing.  Arizona might be the dumbest basketball team on the planet.  Or poorly coached, watch the video after the jump and decide.

Arizona ... http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/how-not-to-handle-an-end-of-game-situation/ Defense was good, offense was iffy, Tyler Zeller may have broken his wrist. Basically it went like this, UNC came out, did a lot of damage early with aggressive defense that earned them a huge lead then threw it into cruise control the rest of the way.  The defense showed great ... http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/unc-77-kentucky-58/ http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/unc-vs-kentucky-live-blog/ As I suspected, a healthy dose of caution and the desire to work some practices in before letting Hansbrough back in the lineup.  Via ACC Now: "We let Tyler do dummy offense,'' Williams said on the Monday night show, according to insidecarolina.com. "It's the first time he's done anything in three ... http://www.tarheelfanblog.com/2008/11/hansbrough-practiced-on-monday/ Where: Dean Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC When: Tuesday, November 18th, 9 PM TV: ESPN Live Stats: SCACCHoops Records: UNC 1-0; UK 0-1 Live blogging tonight beginning around 8:30.
