I am here at the Greensboro Coliseum for tis crucial game.

Michigan lost today, so that won't be a Q1 win for the Heels, but Ohio State beat Wisconsin yesterday and Iowa today. It was 57 when the day started and will move up having beaten the Hwkeyes.

All of that said, I still think the Heels need four wins here this weekend.

Instead of bitching, let's turn our attention to what's really important.

I'm putting together an order and looking for good ideas.

I'm doing pizza for the UVa game, but plan to pig out on junk food for BC.

He is not up to the challenge of being a head coach at a Blue Blood. The mistakes he continues to make during games are just abysmal.

Aside from Nance's shot against Ohio State (that Lebo drew up in the timeout), have we scored on a single play out of the timeout all year?

How about Bacot sitting on the sideline waiting to check in for 3 minutes late in the second half, even though we had timeouts and fouls to spare?

I have decided that North Carolina missing the NCAA Tournament with roughly the same team that beat dook in the Final Four in Coach Rat’s last game makes the fact that they beat dook in the Final Four in Coach Rat’s last game even funnier

The 1989/1990 Tar Heels were 19-12 after the ACC Tournament and still made the Big Dance. Then beat the #1 team in the country in Oklahoma. No, not making comparisons but is it a lock this team doesn’t get in?! UNC means ratings and dollars and last years run has to factor in. Personally, I give us one chance in three.

Q. R.J. and Coach, just how surprised are you that this is the position you guys find yourselves in at the end of the ACC Tournament, likely to miss out on the NCAAs?

R.J. DAVIS: I mean, it's not a great feeling. Not the expectations that we had coming into the year. It was definitely frustrating and disappointing, but one thing I can say about this group is we fight to the end. We're a resilient group. We may get kicked down, but we always get back up, and that's something that has been a major theme for this whole team.

HUBERT DAVIS: Yeah, just never and never will be disappointed in these kids. I'm so proud and honored and thankful and appreciative to be one of their coaches and to be around them every day. I'm sad and disappointed for them that we're in this position.

Just very sad for them.

Q. Coach Davis, what did you tell your guys in the locker room to kind of pick their heads up and keep a positive attitude for what was a tough end to the season?

HUBERT DAVIS: Didn't say very much at all. One of the things that I try to do, very rarely do I say very much after a game. I just got that from Coach Smith after a game. He just wanted to let emotions calm down and be able to give time to gather your thoughts. I told the team that I'd talk to them when we get back to the hotel tonight.
