Two tough, sad, frustrating games against rivals to end a tough, sad, frustrating season. Against State, the ladies were just exhausted; against Duke, well, you can’t do much against 7 for 8 shooting from behind the three point line in the first half. They lost today, in overtime, to Pitt in the ACC tournament, and…

basketball: louisville @ unc
It wasn’t this game — once again the short-handed Heels had their legs give out in the back half of the third quarter — but they did snap their rotten ACC losing streak on Sunday at BC. We have VT on Thursday and hopefully we’ll start a winning streak this time around.
basketball: miami @ unc
The very young, very short-benched Lady Heels are hitting a wall — with a short bench shortened further by the loss of Xylina McDaniel to an ACL tear for the rest of the season — and they’ve struggled continually since beating Syracuse a few weeks ago. We took my folks to see them play Miami,…
basketball: clemson and syracuse
Carolina started off the ACC season with two wins (before getting absolutely outgunned by a deep, talented Notre Dame team on the road yesterday). Trav wrote about Clemson here and Syracuse here. My full photo sets are available in this collection.
basketball: app state @ unc
Last December, Trav came up to see me a couple weeks before Christmas, our last visit before he and his guitars moved here, and on a whim, I bought tickets to the App State / UNC women’s basketball game, just so we had something to do. We, of course, had so much fun we bought…
naismith hall of fame challenge 2015
The Heels hosted the first round of the Naismith Hall of Fame Challenge at Carmichael this weekend, welcoming Fairleigh Dickinson, Iona, and Yale for a round robin tournament. UNC won all three of their games, though all three were also pretty tough fights. It’s good to see some more of the team, including the much…
basketball: florida a&m @ unc
Heels put a whooping on Florida A&M last night, one of those whoopings so bad that it kind of even stops being interesting. Destinee Walker (32) and Stephanie Watts (27) combined to outscore the Rattlers just by themselves. But yes: a win is more fun than a loss.
basketball: boston college @ unc
Our second of five games, this one the UNC ladies hung on to win. It was a pretty fun game — BC has some good long range shooters, Carolina’s Stephanie Muvinga dominated inside, and the lead swung back and forth a bunch of times. I love the ladies’ team a lot, and I’m really glad…
basketball: duke @ unc
Trav and I went to see the Carolina women’s basketball team play App State back in December, before he moved up, and we both fell totally in love with this year’s team. After buying some furniture for the house, we used the last of my parents’ Christmas gift to us to buy a five game…
basketball: unc @ duke
shep. and I went to the Carolina/Duke women’s game at Duke on Sunday night, with Ash and Ash’s dad, and it was, as always, fascinating to me. Cameron is always an Experience with a capital e — I have no idea what to make of it, it’s just An Experience. It wasn’t a great game,…
