By not competing, Carolina committed the cardinal sin of UNC basketball Saturday night at N.C. State. Whether underdog, undermanned or under intense pressure from a crazed crowd, the Tar Heels have rarely not been ready to fight...

Bye Bye, Big 10 Terps

Posted by Art Chansky | Jan 20, 2013 | Uncategorized

Amidst the chaos that has become college athletics, Carolina defeated Maryland Saturday in truly a tale of two halves. The Tar Heels played perhaps their best 20 minutes of basketball to begin the game and ended with perhaps...

Art's Angle: A So-So Season Going Nowhere

Posted by Staff | Jan 11, 2013 | Uncategorized

Looks like it’s another Year of Living Dangerously. In other words, expending our energy rooting against Duke. We’ve had these seasons before (i.e., 2010), although rarely. When our own basketball team is so young...

Let’s compare the Carolina basketball team that opens the season tonight to the last two that followed mass NBA exoduses. Are the 2012-13 Tar Heels younger and/or weaker than the 2006 and 2010 teams? The 2006 team that lost...

Of Kidneys And Kane

Posted by Art Chansky | Oct 11, 2012 | Uncategorized

It’s safe to say Roy Williams’ annual preseason meeting with the media Thursday was the strangest of his 25-year head coaching career. Obviously, the first question was about Williams’ health, and he revealed some details of...
