Well, it's Looking Really Ugly

The lack of blogging has been because of the lack of heart displayed by the UNC basketball team. I figure, if they don't get hyped to play games, why should I get hyped about blogging? How's that little zinger?


With the ACC tournament close-at-hand and other bubble teams looking to make it in the dance, even if UNC made an amazing run to the ACC title game, it probably wouldn't be enough and the selection committee would probably be doing UNC a favor by not including them because they would just not show any heart and get ousted in the first round.

The tip of the iceberg for me was the Duke game recently. A 32 point beat-down against their arch rival. I stopped watching when the score was 48-21 because we have not scorers, who can score that many points and we have no defense to stop the Duke scoring. This game was a polar opposite teams playing. One hard-nosed team versus a team that is just waiting for someone to pull the plug on them.

To top it all off, when the all ACC teams were announced, there wasn't even a hint of a North Carolina player anywhere. For the first time in the school's history. EVER. And there shouldn't have been because no one played like it.

Then word comes out from Marcus Ginyard, via Adam Lucas that all these problems started in the pre-season and it's a wonder that this team made it to .500 on the season. Players didn't care about each other; didn't listen to their coach. The list goes on and on.

With all that said, it is important to keep in mind that until a winner is crowned in Indianapolis, North Carolina is still the defending. We seem to have forgotten that little fact. Though times are tough in the present, draw from the past and look forward to the future.
