Those early 80s 76er teams were powerhouses. Dr. J, Moses Malone, et. al. Coached by UNC legend, The Kangaroo Kid, Billy Cunningham.

I was a Sixers fan back then and met him once, got his autograph and kept it for a long time.

Bobby Jones was always one of my favorite players. Don't know if it is true or not, but one of the Bobby Jones stories was that when he was a junior in high school, he finished second in the AAU NC high jump championship. Bob Mcadoo, then a senior in high school, was the winner.

Yeah, I'm not staying up to watch. I'll check the score first thing when I wake up which is always kind of scary if you have no idea what happened.

ESPN:
North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Ball State Cardinals
6:30 p.m. ET, FloHoops, Battle 4 Atlantis, Nassau, Bahamas
The Cardinals are the favorites in the MAC and would make themselves a viable NCAA tournament at-large candidate with an upset. Ally Becki scores 16.8 points a game and also ranks in the top 20 nationally in assists and steals. Coming off their loss to UConn, the Tar Heels might need a good run in this event to remain a top-16 team.

Baylor is on the other side of the bracket in this 4-team tournament.

More dialed in and aggressive on defense this year too.

Haven't watched the game yet, but woke up and checked the score. Looks like Carolina covered the 16pt spread and kept a 5-10 pt. lead throughout the first half, and kept a 7-20 pt. lead throughout the 2nd half... keeping a 10-18 pt cushion for the most part.
Other than rebounding, the stats look great. Got to the line a lot and hit 76%; Shot over 50% and held them to less than 40%; Only had 5 turnovers with 16 assists (good ratio); 8 steals which means the defense must have been active; 4 players in double figure scoring with Tyson just missing that plateau with 9pts.; 8 players with 15 or minutes played... looks like no more "iron 5" - which is good.
So before I watch... what was up with the rebounding? I know they had loads of height over us... was that just it? They were taller inside? We gave up 13 offensive boards - not good.

Did not watch-But what I can gather they had two guys that just went and got Defensive rebounds One guy-number 32 -is a rebounding beast
It was the offensive rebounds that were so frustrating. Hawaii got way too many second shot opportunities.
