BISCUITS!!!!

Tournament Biscuits Are the Best

 

That's right!  SET THE TONE!  Long Island said they weren't scared to run with UNC.  Well . . . they should have been.  We wrote that book.  Its been in print for 101 years.  It is in its fifth edition and we are working on the sixth.  (Get it?  Tar Heel basketball is in its 101st season.  We have five NCAA Tournament Championships and we are on our way to our sixth.)

Marshall, Henson, Barnes, Strickland, and McDonald celebrate their first NCAA Tournament game by dropping 102 on Long Island University.

Apparently long island has been talking smack. We've been doing that to our starters all year and it doesn't help much. #futility

I need some free Bojangles biscuits FedEx'd out to CO. #UNC #marchmadness

So, how do you feel about your decision to run with the Heels?  

(. . . awkward silence . . .)
Oh, I got it.  No words necessary.

As a refresher, Biscuits is a reference to a Bojangles promotion that offers biscuits to any ticket stub holder when the Heels score more than a hundred.  It is half the inspiration for the name of my blog.  The other half is an homage to Kendall Marshall, who's nickname is Butter because he spreads it around.  It only seemed logical.  Kendall Marshall is going to kill Bojangles' value because we will score and score a lot with him running the point.  Buttered Biscuits!  Check out my first post for more.

If you look at the box score, you may be concerned about the number of turn overs.  I'm not.  We had 18 which is "turrible" (Charles Barkley voice).  The reason I am not concerned is because a number of those came off, how should I say it, "ambitious" dadgum pass attempts that you didn't see in ACC play.  (I should point out that Kendall Marshall only had two turnovers and did not attempt any of these "ambitious" dadgum passes.)  I suspect that we were over confident in our abilities against Long Island.  I don't expect that to be the case against Washington.  There is no way we underestimate their athleticism. 

If you want to see my breakdown of Washington.  Click here: Go East To the Final Four.  Everything I wrote then, I still believe now, but let me expand on one thing.  Dexter Strickland is going to be critical to the game.  He must play well defensively and stay out of foul trouble.  Dex has the strength, athleticism, and, most importantly, the speed to stay with Isiah Thomas.  Even though Dex can't play the whole game, I am still not worried.  When Thomas gets by our perimeter defenders, it is going to be fun seeing Isiah Thomas try to score over John "Mr. Fantastic" Henson.

Yeah.  It almost doesn't seem fair, but fuck fair.  In it to win it!  Play like a champion!!!

The CBS game coverage is finally watchable with Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.  Love it!  Barkely talks without a filter and it is outstanding.  Last night, following the Washington game, Barkley had this verbal gem,

"When they played North Carolina, the scoreboard operator better get a good night's sleep."

Biscuits, again?  Yes please!

dook is a bitch!

How awesome is it that dook and Michigan are playing in the Tourney tomorrow after the Fab Five premiered on Sunday.  There has been nothing but hate between the Fab Five and the dookies ever since.  Between the interviews talking shit and the New York Times editorial response, all I can say is OUTSTANDING.  Wouldn't it just add more fuel to the fire if Michigan won and the Fab Five were able to hit the television circuit again.  This gave me a great idea.

Michigan's Coach, John Beilein, should bring in Jimmy King for the pregame speech to get 'em fired up.
 

Go Big Blue.  Beat dook!
