Just thought I'd let you guys know who I pull for. One of the best games of the year!!! Tough for either team to lose that game.

Im a Tarheel when it comes to CBB. I live in Texas and love my aggies and longhorns, but been a heel since a kid. Great game, I think its time UNC to go coach hunting. Roy is good and an even better guy, but dont think he connects well with 2days youth, and not many do. All that being said great game, great rivalry!!! Crazy stat they have played 88 times and its split 44 to 44, and only an 8pt. diff. in total points. That according to ESPN. Think thats since the intro. of the 3pt. line. Anyway looking 4ward to the next time they meet. Off to the Tbox!!!

That was a tough one. I went to UNC and have pulled for them my whole life. I think those that criticize Roy are crazy. Who would UNC replace him with? You want to see a program go completely in the tank, go right ahead.
Duke has lost their fair share under Coach K as well but he always seems to get the benefit of the doubt in the press. Imagine Roy losing to Lehigh or Mercer in the tourney with a bunch of McDonald's All Americans. The backlash would be unimaginable.
The bottom line is that they are both great programs with great coaches. Both programs are going to struggle mightily to replace them when they are gone.

I am old enough to remember both teams before K and Roy. Hopefully both will be fine after they retire . We are indeed lucky to have both team to enjoy. Actually, I am more worried about Duke after K than UNC after Roy. Just wish Roy would recruit more shooters. James Worthy was from Gastonia where I live and really enjoyed him in HS.

There are a lot of good young coaches out there. I think Roy is a great guy and a good coach, a lot is being said in Tarheel circles right now about his dealings with a lot of his recruits the past few years. Sometimes I think hes tooo nice and a lot of others agree. I hope im wrong and they turn things around, not that things are that bad right now we just killed GTECH 2day. Just don't think we are getting all we could for our dollar. My opinion.

I was surprised that Roy basically blasted the crowd after the game about not being loud enough. Probably needed to be said though. I have always believed that all college arenas should have one side set aside for the students! I think the academic fraud situation is hurting UNC recruiting because these kids don't want to go to a situation that the school may be put on probation. ( hope that doesn't happen ) Good luck for the rest of the season.

Yeah I hear that Billy. Hopefully they can turn academics around. Embarrassing. I know all univ. cut corners with athletes, but not like some of the things I saw reported. Well time to go ahead and knock out my first 2 rounds at Lions Gate!!! Have a great Sunday guys.
