Biorhythms for dook @UNC: 6:30 Start

Vessarr getting fouled and dook overturning the out of bounds early in the game, not to mention boozer dragging his pivot foot a quarter mile on every post move and not being called.
I'm having trouble getting used to the idea that the ball handler being able to advance using a forearm shiver. That's not just this game, either. It was bad enough when you could just fend them off that way.
 
I remember that game well - UNC had lost the ACC championship game to dook the previous year in close, tough, heartbreaking game (I think the score was 65-61) and we really needed that 1989 win over dook. That was a really rough, intense, physical game. I watched the game at my grandparent's house and after it was over I went outside and just yelled "YEAH!". A really good day, back when winning the ACC Tournament still meant something.
Unfortunately, it didn't matter enough for dook AD and NCAAT committee member [perhaps chairman that year] Tom Butters to get dook placed as the 2 seed in the East while we were shipped to the [then] Southeast as the 3 seed. Still pisses me off.
 
I think that we will be ranked 10th on Monday and Dook will go up one place in both polls!
I was wrong, we were at best 11th in AP and Dook didn't move at all. In the Coaches we are 13th and Dook fell 2 spots. That's going to make Lunardi mad.
