UNC has managed to come up with a way to get
some students closer to the court, which is entirely appropriate. Tee
Pruitt, the student leader who has been the driving force behind a lot of this,
gets a ton of credit and will probably get political offers out of it as well,
because anyone who can get the Rams Club to work on this is a very promising
young politician.
For Matt Doherty, who has memories of Carmichael Auditorium, this is probably
also a good thing. But to say it will make it "even tougher" -
well, that's true. But the fear element of playing UNC has been missing, as
demonstrated by Rico Hines, who talked a ton of smack before UCLA played UNC,
then backed it up.
