Grading Sunday's Winners; Unc, Kentucky Lucky To Survive

... for the Big Ten tournament, the Wolverines have won six straight games and are starting to establish the habits needed for a real title run. Against the Cowboys, Michigan relied on its school-record 16 three-pointers. Against Louisville, most of the work was done inside by budding superstars D. J. Wilson and Mo Wagner. South Region. North Carolina Tar Heels: C+. 72-65 over Arkansas. Roy Williams will take a win any way it comes, especially when it comes to extending his streak of reaching the second weekend when coaching a 1-seed North Carolina team. The C+ grade is good enough to earn the credit, just like the Tar Heels’ were good enough for a win, but Arkansas outplayed them for long stretches of Sunday night’s game. UNC looked shook on offense, didn’t shoot the ball well and turned the ball over 17 times. But when it was time to go and win the game they did so with lock-down defense, closing out the final three minutes on a 12-0 run. You can look at this result two ways: It’s either a warning sign of things to come or the ugly win we’ve seen before in so many NCAA Tournament title ...

... think they are?”. The exchange continued. Williams said they could be “mafia hats.”. “Who knows? I like 'em.” Williams said. “I've got one. … I don't look good in a hat at all, may not look good, anyway, but I know I don't look good in a hat. But I'm going to try to put mine on.”. Williams said it was a “pretty neat deal,” Hats by Shea. Rush's teammates seemed on board, too. Just about everyone wanted a hat, Rush said, or at least welcomed the idea of having a hat, with the exception of freshman guard Seventh Woods and senior forward Isaiah Hicks. They showed the most initial hesitation but even they relented, eventually. And so here the Tar Heels were on Thursday night, about to grace the streets of Greenville in their new hats. According to the pictures, at least, the hats fit. They looked as much a part of the players' wardrobe as the suits they were wearing. Williams wore his. He looked sort of like a detective. Or maybe a Prohibition-era gangster. He looked like he believed he should be wearing the hat he was wearing, and perhaps ...

Unc's Justin Jackson Takes The Blame After Loss Against Duke

... better for us to win. So I take responsibility for that.”. “Honestly, some of my shots – I could have just rotated the ball. I could have made a better decision to get the ball inside. … And so for me, all I can look at is I have to play better for this team to win. And I have to do that if we're going to try to get back. So I've got to play better and this one's on me.”. “I tried to be aggressive, trying to get things going, and it just turned out to backfire.”. “I kept on shooting shots and whether they were forced or not, they weren't going in.”. “It falls back on being patient, and I didn't do that in the second half, and I take all the responsibility of that.”. Less than a week earlier, six days ago, Jackson learned that he'd earned ACC Player of the Year honors. The award was announced last Sunday, the day after ...

Questions That Will Determine Whether Unc Returns To The Final Four

... Berry, UNC’s junior point guard, collected his fourth foul. If Berry is a little more disciplined and stays out of foul trouble (or if the game is officiated a bit differently), then maybe the Tar Heels hold on to a lead that, twice, was as wide as 13 points. But they didn’t hold that lead, in large part because they couldn’t stop Duke in the final 15 minutes. Among UNC’s four worst defensive games of the season, according to kenpom, two were against Duke. The worst was against Kentucky. The Tar Heels lost all three of those games. (The other game among those four was the home victory against Pittsburgh – a game UNC nearly lost.). UNC coach Roy Williams meets with reporters on Tuesday for his pre-tournament discussion. Prepare to hear a lot about how much better the Tar Heels need to defend. There’s a reason why Williams emphasizes this so much. It’ll be especially important ...

The Hogs have an uber-efficient offense that they rely on and shot more than 47 percent in the first round vs. Seton Hall. They aren’t a team that typically relies on the deep ball this season, but that’s an area they will need to likely go to in their gameplan against No. 1 seed North Carolina on Sunday.

There's No Ceiling Or Roof For Unc's March Madness Hopes

... Hound, but at times he has the cantankerous temperament of Mr. Jinks, the cat who hated meeces to pieces. Just swap out meeces with UNC fans and the media. Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports. Back to that whole ceiling is the roof thing. With the tournament kicking off for UNC on Friday, now is a good time to ponder how high UNC’s ceiling is. Or rather, how ceiling their roof is.

A point guard who can push the pace, score, and facilitate: check. A wing who can spread defenses and shoot from deep: check. A deep, formidable frontcourt that can run the floor, clean the glass on both ends, get second-chance points, and take advantage of favorable matchups: check. Roy has cut down nets with this type of team twice. This is a veteran team that can light it up in spurts in the fullcourt and play inside out and score at every level in the halfcourt. UNC is top seed in the loaded South region. The Tar Heels will likely ...

... a skinny dude from New York who had already agreed to go to another North Carolina school to change his mind and come to Chapel Hill. When that kid, Charles Scott, made his official visit to the campus, Grubar was his host. Grubar recalled: “We hit it off pretty good. As you know, there were not many minorities at Carolina at the time, but I took him around and showed him the university. I took him to where everybody was, whites and minorities. I took him to a lot of the white fraternity parties and introduced him to a lot of people. That showed him there was not the prejudice there that was being sold to him by other schools” that were bad-mouthing UNC and the South. “He got the opportunity to see who else he would be playing with, too,” Grubar said. Meeting his prospective teammates “most definitely” influenced his decision to matriculate at UNC, Scott said last ...
