Bama vs NC stats in 1982. Note the difference in FT attempts. And we lost by 5.

I was listening on the Radio. We should've one that game.

If Wrightsell can go, I think we win. If not, then I think we have a shot to win.

I didn't know that NC's center Bacot is a 24 years old 5th year senior.

He’s been in this job a while.

I read some of the posts on the NC 247 site.

Although some don't know our system, I get why they are over-confident. Like I said, this would be the equivalent of us playing a johnny-come-lately in the football playoff where we'd fully expect the Bama standard to rule for the day.

Johnny-come lately, my foot. Good lord, Moon, we beat them last year

It may mean nothing, as I think he did the same against Tennessee, but I read that Wrightsell participated in the last shootaround, just FWIW.

UConn and SDS knotted up at the moment.

I would be fine with all the lower seeds winning today

Nevermind...LOL!

comes down to shooting. I expect Bacot to run wild. If Bama is hitting they’ll win.

Roll Tide! Headed to work at 5 am this morning, reach the Skyway Parkway here in Tampa and the bridge is lit up in red and white lights. I took it as a sign! Believe! Believe! Believe! Roll Tide!!!

People like to say Clark has the 3-pt line and Maravich didn't, but Pete seldom got any points out that far, anyway. Also there was no shot clock, but, again, that didn't make much difference to him...

Even then, Jordan was getting preferential treatment by the refs.

The remarkable thing about MJ was that, as he aged, he turned himself from a high-flier to a fadeaway jump-shooter. James has continued to work on his strength. Even now, you'd better not stand your ground, even with established position. All you'll get is a bloody nose and a foul...

Unlocked the game thread. Locking this one.
