Hopefully he sees that when Zo attacked the basketball, UNC had no answer for him. He scored 20 points in the second half, largely by blowing past Marshall and shooting some sort of floater. When he wasn't scoring, he was creating a lot of shots for others (most of them misfired).
The game was already out of hand by that point, but I think that's the game when Brown finally started showing people what he was capable of. 1/25/2012 12:46:46 PM

If we're losing, page the maintenance guy at the Dean Dome to cut the power, or drop a scaffolding on the bench, or turn on the sprinklers or something. Doesn't Buffalo Wild Wings have those connections? 1/25/2012 1:35:09 PM

But why male models?
Are you serious I just told you that
In all seriousness, I don't think CJL can get his points against UNC's bigs efficiently. This is based on watching the games last season against UNC.
I'm not saying never go to him, but just jamming it inside is not the way to beat UNC.

I would say that cjl is more athletic than henson or zellar, and, it would be an awesome statement if he were to just posterize them all night.
But I get your point. I just hope that they don't spend all night jacking up jumpers and not giving cjl any touches.

^^Yeah CJL is probably more athletic, but Zeller and Henson's length and height will present problems for Leslie IMO. I'd love for him to posterize them a few times though!

Quote : | "It might be weird to think, but the Heels' defense is actually superior to their offense this year. It's not as weird when you realize that the reason its defense is better is because no team in the nation keeps teams off the free-throw line better than the Heels. They simply don't get called for a lot of shooting fouls or put teams in the bonus often. It's an amazing feat that has been a staple of Carolina's defense the entirety of the Roy Williams era. " |

IF this team could finally learn a zone this would be a game to use it. I would gamble on UNC's guards missing their perimeter shots long before I would bet on Calvin and Howell being able to stop Henson, Zellar and the refs. 1/25/2012 6:37:42 PM
