nyjunc Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Please save your Carolina scandal bashing for the other threads. Try to stick to talking just about the season that is almost upon us. Teams have already begun practicing and CBS has their preseason top 25 up and hopefully the future champs are at #1. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25336675/north-carolina-tar-heels-are-no-1-in-preseason-top-25-and-one Looking forward to a fun season of basketball that hopefully ends w/ Roy's 3rd Nat'l title.

JustInFudge Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 All I'm going to say is, its going to be really hard to watch the Gators and see someone other than Billy D walking the sidelines. It gives me much sadness. Though we still have some talent, I fear the worst for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk I am interested to see what Mullin can do, there will be struggles early but I think in the end it could pay off.

Though we still have some talent, I fear the worst for the program. Billy was one of the best, who knows how long until they are an elite program again but they will be again.

Jetsfan80 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I will say, to UNC's credit, that they deserve some props for playing Northern Iowa in their building. That's an excellent program out of a very good basketball conference, and one that is highly difficult to beat on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Congrats to UNI, an excellent mid major program and they deserved the win. what other big time program plays on the road at top mid majors? that's another thing I love about Carolina basketball, they aren't afraid to play anyone anywhere. Unfortunately this game was scheduled for Marcus paige in his home state but Marcus was unable to play but Carolina still has to find a way to win that game and they failed. Roy Williams teams always "struggle" early and get better late so while frustrating I am not overly concerned. Eeerily similar to November of 2004 at Santa Clara, in that game they were w/o raymond Felton and it was a layover en route to a tournament(tonight/weds they play in the HOF classic in KC) and the top 5 Heels(I think they were 2 or 3 at the time) lost to Santa Clara. That was the same night as the "Malace at the palace" and no one really paid attention to the upset and this weekend w/ the big CFB games including the FB Heels clinching the Coastal division no one is really paying attention. Hopefully this season ends the same way that season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Nice comeback for the Heels to win the HOF Classic over K-State. Trailing by 8 late they went on a crazy run to win by 10. Barring any setbacks this will be the last game w/o Marcus Paige. Looking forward to seeing Marcus back out there against former ACC rival Maryland on Tuesday.
