Just as we thought, the State-UNC game was
a lot of fun to watch. It featured everything - fun offense, good
defense, the traditional Sendek offensive hiccup - from the 13:33 mark, when
Levi Watkins hit a three, State didn't hit another basket until the 6:51
mark. It's one of the geat mysteries of the ACC how this keeps happening.
We can only think to blame coaching, because both personnel and offenses have
changed.
| Duke | 5-0 | 16-1 |
| NC State | 4-2 | 11-5 |
| Georgia Tech | 4-2 | 16-3 |
| Florida State | 3-3 | 14-5 |
| North Carolina | 3-3 | 13-4 |
| Wake Forest | 2-3 | 11-4 |
| Maryland | 2-3 | 11-5 |
| Virginia | 2-4 | 12-5 |
| Clemson | 1-6 | 8-10 |
| Boston College | 13-6 | |
| Miami | 13-7 | |
| Virginia Tech | 8-9 |
And yet State was still in it. Amazingly, they came back and almost got
it, but UNC prevailed.
For UNC, they may have found a go-to guy in Rashad McCants. Previously the
butt of jokes (including us) and speculation, the
guy came through for the Heels.
With State falling into a tie with Tech for second place, UNC is tied for 3rd place. Not a bad recovery, when you think about it.
And as Duke fans, we'd like to thank UNC for, yet again, helping out: last
week, they cleared the decks for Duke to go to #1 by beating UConn. This time,
by beating State, UNC gives Duke a big advantage in the regular season
race.
Oh, and before we forget it: did you see that steal and dunk by Jackie Manuel? That has to be one of the great plays of this season.
