UNC Basketball

Some of you that know me know that I am a crazy Tar Heel fan. I didn’t go to UNC for undergraduate or graduate school, but when I moved down here, I started watching games and actually started to root for them during the disasterous 8-20 year. My favorite player in the last couple of years was Jackie Manuel. And of course, it was great following them last year when they won the national championship.

Husband and I always try to get tickets to a couple of games. The other night, we went to see the team play Cleveland State. I was a bit nervous — this is a young team and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Four freshman played significant minutes and the team looked very sloopy at times, but it was a fun game to watch.

My favorite two moments? Watching Quentin Thomas dunk (hysterical) and Byron Sanders scoring the 100th point.

This year’s favorite player(s): It will take more than one player to take Jackie’s place. It will be split between Byron Sanders and Bobby Frasor.

Go Heels! It should be fun to watch…
