Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE Tarheel Basketball...but lately they have been struggling. Especially in ACC play. Last year, everyone had them as their favorite going into the season. This year they were in the top 10 for a bit. Then, they started playing conference teams. The Tarheels have an in conference record of 2-4 and were handed their worst home loss since 2003 against UVA this past Sunday. I mean, that's the worst possible team to have that happen to besides Duke. By the way, just gonna put this out there, I absolutely hate duke and everyone associated with them. I REALLY REALLY do not like duke. Like, there is just something about Coach K and the players on the team and the way that they play that just really irks me. Like, they get ALL the calls, they can hand check whenever they want to and it's just ridiculous...sorry about that haha.
Back to the struggling UNC....poor guys. I mean, they went from having Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington to having 5 or 6 freshman that have to get significant playing time. SO, I guess when you think about it that way, their conference record is somewhat acceptable. But, after the past four years at least of success it is weird to have a year such as this. For the past four years Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke's Home Court) has been owned by Hansbrough and the Tarheels. Now that he and the other 3 leading scorers from last years National Championship have moved on to the NBA, UNC has to rebuild. And, basically, that's what this year is. A rebuilding year. Now, once all of these freshman have a year under their belts UNC will be a force to reckon with, so watch out.
Now, as some of you may know, UNC travels down to Blacksburg this Thursday to take on the Hokies in an ACC match up. Although this is no approved of by the majority of my friends, I WILL be cheering for UNC this Thursday, and I WILL be wearing Carolina blue in the student section. Now, this may not b a good decision when it come to my physical well being, but I've got to stay loyal to my boys.
So, I'll leave you and that note and, of course, GO TARHEELS!!!!

ReplyDeleteI must say, I have NEVER been a big fan of men's college basketball, I think its the most predictable and WORST sport ever lol, but thats just my opinion. I used to like UNC girl's team but even more I LOVED DUKE's girls team!!!! Back when Linday Harding was the star player. I also liked their men's team but I wasn't a big fan. I also love Tennesee because of CANDACE PARKER! You can't say she aint the shit! lol
ReplyDeleteI have always hated Duke too, ever since University of Michigan (which is where I come from) was Fabulous back in the day... I guess they're a team people love to hate...but yeah, I hate 'em.
ReplyDeleteHow do you go about getting tickets to Tech B-Ball games?
All I can say is: Go Hokies!
