Biorhythms for dook @UNC: 6:30 Start

[Mulberry Heel]

Your position on what Dixon was looking for contradicts Seth’s version of what Dixon was looking for. He said it was designed to go to either of the bigs but once Dixon drove, the D collapsed and he made the right read.

Personally after watching the glorious replay a zillion times I thought there was a lob opportunity to Caleb if he floated it high enough. Would've been sick but it’s better that he didn’t since it would’ve meant a few more seconds on the clock.

I'm actually glad that didn't happen and that Seth got to take the winning shot. He's a great senior and has more than earned it, especially after battling back from his injury. His statements after the game about loving UNC and loving the rivalry and that he was happy for the team are what UNC basketball is all about, imo.

Well, I would imagine Seth would know a bit better than me. It looked to me that the play was going to Seth because he had been setting up to shoot for like 8 seconds. I mean, that's his job but he seems more intent on it here.

Anyway, "either of the bigs" sounds right, and they weren't entirely sure who was going to go where.

There is no way that Scheyer drew it up for the defense to leave Caleb to go double Dixon. So I don't think our guys expected it either. I'm glad he didn't lob for Caleb. I think the chances of something going awry there would be too high. Let us at least get the ball to the rim.

By the way, it's worth taking this opportunity to look at the team's development this year. The roster is what it is, fine -- that's a different topic. I don't know how you could look at this roster and not be impressed by how the team has developed.

Dixon has come a long way. Not a 5 star prospect, not a flashy super-athlete, but a guy who has been getting consistently better all season. Caleb has been awesome all year of course, but he's also been getting better. Jared seems to maybe have had a light go off. So despite disappointing performances from Evans and Bogo, HD has the team playing at a high level, with a different cast of characters than maybe we thought.

I think one could make a solid COY case for HD.

I figured someone would isolate this video



Saw it live. Not cool. Not a punch or anything but if they find out who that was they shouldn’t be allowed back in this season, IMO.

As fun as court storms look, this kind of bush league stuff is why they probably shouldn’t be allowed in the first place. All it takes is a handful of douche bags like the guy that threw the water bottle to mar a cool moment.

It’s also amusing to hear Scheyer/Dook complain about it in the postgame. If they have a problem with punches getting thrown in the smith center during this rivalry then maybe we should take a trip down memory lane. Dhantay Jones, Gerald Henderson, etc.

Something like that happens every court storm.

Remember when the Va Tech guy decked the ODU fan? Or Kyle Flipowski suffered a near fatal knee injury during the Wake courtstorming? There will always be some fan or player (or both) that don't know how to conduct themselves.
