54-29 UNC at the half.

That McCants is a hell of a player. That recruiting class in general will be VERY good.

The Nits aren't helping themselves though. Dunn said he didn't want to get in a foot race with UNC, but then how many times did we take the ball up court calmly? Not often.

Brandon Watkins should have slown the pace down. Goodness, you'd figure Penn State would realize they can't run with UNC. But instead, he'd run down the court and take erratic shots.

I'm bothered by the (yet once more) inability to rebound. It's obvious PSU doesn't have a post game. Still, there's no excuse not to be aggressive after the rebounds. Michigan State isn't always the most dominant inside team, yet you ALWAYS see their guards hustling after the rebound. Chambliss, Tate, and Watkins stand around waiting for Jagla to get the rebound so they can run. And Jagla can't handle May. You'd figure after three years of this crap, Dunn would force his team to learn to rebound.

With any type of luck, the score looks respectable at the end. Don't bet on it though.

Take heart, Josh. I don't think the Big Ten is going to be all that great this year. The Lions should be better as the season rolls along. If nothing else, at least they aren't in Michigan's spot. (That nightmare is never going to end.)

As for the Heels, we'll see how well UNC's youngest team ever holds up in the ACC. The freshmen were very impressive and I thought Manuel played a very nice all around game. I hope Carolina is on the way back up.

I don't think the B10 will be anything spectacular either, Brian. But then again, no one ever knew Indiana would make the Final Four last year. Michigan State should be good.

Penn State will be better if only because they can't be worse.

The UM nightmare never will end, I agree. At least they took action on themselves.

I hope Carolina is on the rise again too. Basketball is much better with a good UNC team.

Manuel did play a good game. McCants, May, and that PG (I'm drawing a blank) all played stellar games.

I'm sorry but I don't see us finishing anywhere other than the basement...well maybe better than N'western...

Needed to move this to the college basketball forum.

Next game on Saturday? at Pennsylvania?

Sounds like another loss to me....
