Caleb still a TarHeel at heart.

 

This was a win for UNC!

[jayboogieman]

Quality exclamation point to end this one.

[CamWhoaaCam]

Caleb got that Dawg in HIm!

 

Forever a TarHeel!

[4Corners]

Wow! With this loss, duke is surely to be the unanimous #1 in the polls next week.

Frustrating loss for us tonight.

Obviously ESPN was trying to push the Love storyline but the real story of the game was Scheyer mismanaging the rotation and the offense.

Arizona's a physical team that packs the paint, but the offense was standing around so much and not doing much to get their defenders to move out of the lane.

No clue why Ryan Young got so many minutes over Sean Stewart, who would have countered some of Arizona's physicality. Likely would have made the difference. I suspect it has something to do with him struggling in practice.

Still, Scheyer is just starting his second year and will figure it out at some point. Our next game is against an also-physical Michigan State team, so I'm really interested to see how we run our offense and manage the rotation.

Even though Love’s UNC story wasn’t the best ending he has cemented himself as a Tar Heel. Gave K his last L at home, Scheyer his first L at home, and most importantly an L in the Final Four matchup.

Caleb wrote “Tar Heel 4 Life” on the bottom of his shoes last night, that’s all class from a young kid who had his ups and downs at UNC.

Also happy for Coach Rob, he left UNC to take a job at Arizona a few years ago; so two former Tar Heels came away with a win last night.

The MSU game all of a sudden has become very important. Duke's got a tough non-con schedule this year; it softens up for a bit after the MSU game but there's also @Arkansas down the road which seems like it'll be a very tough matchup in it's own right. Hoping to see some progress and hopefully, Mark Mitchell will be at 100% for this game.

Absolutely, and MSU will be really desperate for a big-time win after their debacle on opening night.

We've also got that game against Baylor at MSG, so there are chances to pick up some good wins and see what this team is made of.

Mitchell really needs to learn to slow down a bit on offense, but as you said, I wonder if he's not quite playing at 100% health.

Bacot has 10 rebs in 10 mins today.  These guys can’t handle him at all

Bacot double/double at the half.

UNC and Tennessee are playing with UNC up 3 at the moment.

[MillionDollarCam]

Have not seen Carolina play this well since their first half against Baylor in the NCAA Tournament a couple years ago.

Up 61-39 over Tennessee.

Yeah, they haven't played this good in a long while. Has Davis found the key or is this just a one off?
