Fortunately for UNC, Duke is just about equally bad this year.

My 'Cats are right there keeping them company.

Meanwhile....in Alabama....

This was the most exciting buzzer beater since Charlotte Smith in the 1994 title game.

From a different angle.

I had never seen a D1 team winning a game without a double digit scorer... until yesterday. But win is a win. We swept Duke, and prevented them from winning the ACC regular seasons title.

RIP Terry Holland. Coached UVA during some amazing games against Carolina when I was an undergrad.

We used to have five players on the first team and five players on the second team. But now we have ten each.

The latest controversy in college b-ball. I didn't know there was such a thing called College Basketball Invitational.

I saw the end of the Houston/Memphis game so I assume that the cutaway was limited to specific locations such as the Bradley/Drake market (whatever that may be) or possibly the MVC market.

The majority of games I've watched this season have been on ESPN, most have followed a previous game and almost every one tipped off before the previous game ended. So one either missed the first minute or three, or fumbles with the ESPN app on their smart TV. They need to get a handle on their scheduling.

While I'm at it, ESPN needs to cut out their "reporters" babbling on, sometimes on camera or with the subject of their babbling (a player's mother) on camera in split screen mode, while the ball is in play. It's maddening. They sometime go on two or three minutes like that. No game commentary during that time. They had Joe Lunardi drone on about who's on the bubble for at least five minutes, maybe longer, while the ball was in play a week or two ago.

This was CBS which has the contracts to televise the conference tournaments (of which the Memphis/Houston game wasn't). The game was switched to the MVC conference finals.

They can start with the star babbler in Dick Vitale who's once great commentary is now inaudible babbling throughout a game. Fortunately he was on the Kansas/Texas game last weekend instead of the Duke/NC game.

But...yes....there are others who need to put a sock in it from time to time.

Put me down as voting for Bill Walton as the most horrendous to listen to.

I will second that, and third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and so on that.

Well, what a rotten year for Carolina. Lost only Brady Manek from last year's team but we thought Pete Nance transferring in from Northwestern might make a very good replacement, and the bench much stronger bench coming into this season. But now, just about nothing good to say about the season, other than the teevee guys continually harping on how many double-doubles Armando Bacot has had in his career. That's...that's about it.
