UNC vs Virginia
UNC vs UVA
I am going to be doing my reviews of UNC hoops on a game-by-game basis. This will help me post more on my blog as well as keep the memories fresh in my readers’ heads assuming they actually watch the game too.
ESPN decided to run this game as an ESPN Classic, complete with old school graffics, Doris Burke dressed in 70’s garb reporting from the sidelines, a digitally simulated Afro on Roy Williams and even the occasional “colored boy” reference by commentator Mike Patrick. I got so caught up in the nostalgia that I actually channel-surfed for Empty Nest and Alf at half time.
My favorite quote of the night was “The more shots you take in perfect form, the better your form will be in game situations, that’s all about practice makes perfect, no…perfect practice makes perfect. “ Was George Bush guest-commentating this game?
That quote was from Len Elmore who actually had a fake Afro on, a fact I was unaware of when I wrote the Roy Williams/Afro comment earlier so I decided to keep that in my post.
As for the actually game itself, Carolina led 39-24 at the half which is no surprise seeing as how they beat Virginia by 74 points at UVA. If my math is correct they should win 78-48 covering the spread (-23) and giving me the much needed fictional “win” in my dismal picks of the day.
Quote of the second half, again by Len Elmore…”the last thing you want to do if you are a scholarship player is have a walk-on dunk on you”.
Ladies and Gentlemen we have our first Caucasian sighting of the night with 3 minutes left in the game. That has to be a good sign for my bet…….3 minutes later, final score 85-61 proving once again how incredibly accurate the Vegas odds makers are.
Next up Clemson on Saturday.
