  Everyone's favorite thread is back!! lol
  
  Carolina travels to Birmingham for the right to go to the Garden and play the winner of Va Tech and Rhode Island.
  
  I like the Heels in this one by 11.

  Texas Tech and Ole Miss need to get off my television.
• wildcats20

  

  Seriously?!?!?!?
  
  At least espn360 works for me now....try it out iron.
• wildcats20

  

  Heels up 15-9 with under 13 left
• ironman02

  Got it. Figured it wouldn't work, but once again, it is. Thanks, wildcats.
• ironman02

  Maybe I should stop watching. 15-9 turned into 17-17 pretty quickly.
• wildcats20

  

  Yeah turn it off lol
  
  BTW John Saunders is the WORST play by play guy in history.
• ironman02

  Never have liked Saunders. This just reinforces that.
• wildcats20

  

  Strickland, Drew II, and L Mac have played very well in the NIT so far. Nice to finally see it.
• Laley23

  

  UNC fans, do the rumors of Drew II transferring have any legs.
• ironman02

  haha...what was Henson trying to accomplish there?
  
  Yeah, it seems that there has been quite a bit of improvement from those guys recently. Hope it continues this summer.

  From what I hear, unfortunately, yes. He may be headed back home to the west coast. I have no idea if this is true, but there's a lot of smoke, so there may be fire. Personally, I hope he sticks it out and comes back next year as a better player. Carolina will need him, even with Kendall Marshall coming in next season.
• ironman02

  The whole Carolina team is gonna foul out of this game.
• Laley23

  

  Yeah, that would be a blow because of his experience. We see right now what youth is like when you dont have a lot of leaders around. I just heard the rumors about a week or two ago and forgot to ask you all on here until now. That would be a shame, I think he could be a solid guy his last 2 years.

  Is it true that Larry is basing his decision on where his hs girlfriend wants to go to college?
• ironman02

  Exactly, Laley. This is Drew's first year running the point extensively, but he has gained a great deal of experience this season. It would be nice to have him back next year, because if he's not, Carolina will be in the same situation again at the point...inexperienced PG with a combo guard (Strickland) playing as the back-up. There will be more scorers on next year's team, which should help no matter what, but it will be tough for Marshall to come in and be effective immediately.

  According to him, he doesn't have a girlfriend (used to date Eddie Murphy's daughter). And he says he's not leaving. But we'll see.
• ironman02

  Jekyll and Hyde Carolina is in the house tonight...good one minute, AWFUL the next.
• ironman02

  Nice D by Carolina toward the end of the half. 25-25 at the break.
  
  Gonna take a much better effort in the 2nd half to get out of Birmingham with a win.
• reclegend22

  

  Oh OK. Thanks for the clarification. It was in fact Murphy's daughter that I was referencing; I just couldn't remember which celebrity it was.
  
  Perhaps Drew dropped her because of that reason. Good for him if so.
• ironman02

  Glad Deon is playing well tonight. Might be the only guy that can make a shot for the Heels.
• ironman02

  If Henson puts on some weight in the off-season, he's gonna be really good next year. His offensive game is still pretty raw, but good things happen when he's on the floor.
• wildcats20

  

  2-3 possessions ago was GREAT from Dexter.
  
  He had a 3, which he would have taken earlier in the season, but instead ball faked and hit a mid range jumper. I don't understand why he wouldn't do that earlier in the year.
• ironman02

  I think Dex has a confidence problem. He's very reluctant to take jumpers. It would be nice to see him get back to being more aggressive.
• ironman02

  This Millsap is just ridiculous right now.
