Jordan UNC Authentic Jersey

Posted on August 19, 2018 | Comments Off

If you’re here, you’re likely an avid Tar Heel basketball fan, which stands to reason that you’re a Michael Jordan fan too. It also means you were probably quite disappointed to find out that the recent Tar Heel basketball games in the Bahamas were not televised or streamed. To ease the disappointment, if you’re not already a member at Inside Carolina, I recommend you check them out right now. You’re find articles, photos and videos from our team’s time in the Bahamas. IC’s Tar Heel hoops coverage is tops in the business. It will help you survive the next few weeks while we await Late Night with Roy on Friday, October 12.

LATE NIGHT WITH ROY 2018

The 2018 version of Late Night with Roy is going to be extra special, as it will include the unveiling of Roy Williams Court. It’s going to be a night for the ages, a night to remember. I hope you will all be able to attend and witness the honoring of one of the greatest coaches in the game in the building named for one of the greatest coaches to have ever lived. Roy Williams Court in the Dean E. Smith Center… Wow, we Tar Heels have certainly been blessed to have had these two fine men in charge of our basketball program, leading the young men who chose to be part of our program, and representing our beloved university across the world.

THE GOAT

As most of you know, Roy Williams played a significant role in recruiting Michael Jordan to UNC. And he served as an assistant coach during the years that Jordan played for the Tar Heels. Many of us certainly hope the GOAT will be able to attend this special ceremony to honor Coach Williams. With that in mind, if you don’t already have this authentic Michael Jordan Jordan Brand jersey in your collection, this may be a great time to grab one. Wear it to Late Night with Roy! At time of publication of this post, it is on sale for $37.50 OFF regular price at Fanatics. But that particular sale ends soon.

See ya at Late Night! GO HEELS!

NC State: 33 Years and Counting

Posted on February 25, 2016 | Comments Off

GO STATE?

To celebrate last night’s win which completes the sweep of NC State in men’s basketball during the regular season once again, we thought we’d update an old graphic that was created while the Wolfpack’s ill-advised “Our State” advertising campaign was ongoing.

Download NC State: This Is Our Stat - 33 Years and Counting

Yes, it has been 33 years since the Wolfpack has won a national championship in any sport except… wait for it… Bass Fishing. North Carolina might be NC State’s state on a level much different from the one they attempted to promote, but that stat is definitely theirs.

A FEW OTHER STATS OWNED BY THE WOLFPACK:

NC State is 3-30 against Roy Williams.
The last time the Wolfpack had a coach with a winning record against UNC is when they had Everett Case on the sideline from 1946 to 1965. Case was 25-19 against the Tar Heels.
NC State is now 77-153 against UNC in men’s basketball.

To be fair, it’s difficult to excel in anything else if you spend every waking moment focused on how to bring down UNC. Or should we say “UNCheat”, the not-so-ingeniously creative way those adorable whimpering pups now refer to the Tar Heels?

Finish the Season Strong

Posted on March 9, 2014 | Comments Off

(Originally posted on Facebook immediately after UNC lost to Duke in Durham, 93-81. Follow us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/CarolinaTarHeelsOnMyMind.)

McAdoo’s early foul trouble, Meeks’ illness, a great game by Hood, and a stellar game by Parker were too much for this Heel team to overcome. They’ll learn from this, and they’ll grow because of this.

This season is far from over, and we’ll still make some noise this year in both tournaments. But the dividends of some of these tough losses — especially the one tonight — will really show up next year and even the next.

We can’t start a game like this not matching their intensity. We have to stay poised and take care of the ball much better than we did tonight. (Early in the game, we had 6 points and 6 turnovers. Think about that.) And Paige can’t wait until the second half to start exerting his will on the offensive end. He has to break that pattern.

A coach can tell players those things over and over and over. But sometimes the players only partially understand words. They think they understand, but on nights like tonight, it becomes clear what “playing with a sense of urgency” and “playing the full 40 minutes” really means.

We have good guys on our team. They have heart, they’re talented, they’re coachable, and they’re resilient. They never give up — one of my favorite things about this team. They have far exceeded my expectations once we all learned PJ would not rejoin the team. But my expectations for them next year will be much higher.

For now, let’s finish the season strong. Let’s try to continue to exceed expectations. Let’s keep getting better.

Go Heels!

UNC vs Duke — Round 1, 2014

Posted on February 10, 2014 | Comments Off

Here we sit less than 48 hours away from tip-off of potentially one of the most exciting men’s college basketball games of the season: UNC vs Duke — Round 1 in Chapel Hill.

Duke is the higher ranked team and the team most of the talking heads expect to come out victorious Wednesday night. But when these two rivals meet, you never know what the outcome will be until it happens.

Tonight, #17 ranked UNC women’s basketball marched a team of mostly freshmen and sophomores into Hansbrough Indoor Stadium, a.k.a. Cameron Indoor Stadium, and handily knocked off the #3 ranked women Blue Devils 89-78. Let’s hope the ladies inspired our Tar Heel men to follow suit and complete the sweep of Round 1, UNC vs Duke.

UNC Beats Clemson in Chapel Hill 57 Straight

Posted on January 28, 2014 | Comments Off

“UNC Beats Clemson in Chapel Hill”

You’ve heard or read that headline quite a few times unless you’re awfully young or you simply don’t follow Tar Heel basketball. At some point, Clemson is bound to win again in Chapel Hill. They have to, don’t they? Obviously, odds are in their favor.

Year after year, decade after decade, Tar Heels tell each other that Clemson is eventually going to a game in Chapel Hill. But it didn’t happen in 2014.

Clemson has won exactly ZERO times in the last 57 meetings against the Tar Heels on the hard court in Chapel Hill. #KeepTheRecordAlive, Tar Heels.
