They'll probably wait till after the season to announce something.

If renovation means anything other than doing what they did to the baseball stadium (tear it down to the foundation and start over) then I am going to lose my fvckin mind.

I'll be extremely disappointed, but if they can fix the seating configuration and let the students and pep band be closer to the court, I'll be somewhat satisfied. I think Gottfried tried to move the students closer to the court, and the donors shut it down. Those people can frick off for all I care.

The arena is 50 years old though- it's time to tear it down.

Yea, he tried pretty hard and basically got told no thanks. Avery actually got them on the sides, which is much better than it was when I was there. When I was there students were in the deep, dark corner and behind the basket halfway. Now they are at least in the one section on the side and the corner.

I've never seen them call a foul like that on something that close on the last play of the game situation.


I've rarely seen a player trying to take a charge in a final shot scenario. Like I said, they typically swallow the whistle in late-game scenarios, but when a player sets up for a charge, it's going to make it extremely hard for them to not blow the whistle. With defenders typically being allowed to be very physical on the final possession, it makes trying to take the charge very head-scratching.

frick the donors. Theyre more sports at this university besides football.Students should be on the side by the floor that gives us the best environment and the best chance to win.



Also I Wish Saturday was a White Out game.

If his right heel was an inch forward this Convo would have a much different tone

Either way, we lost.

I'm interested in Bama vs TN. Interesting matchup as TN isn't long but they got some stout dudes who know how to push people around w their big butts.

I think this is a game where Braxton Kwy needs to step up. I imagine it will be on him to defend Grant Williams. Only guy w the athleticism and strength to guard him all over the court

Is Saturday a sell out, or close?

And now UNC has the lead. The lid on that place is about to come off.
