Roy Williams on 2013-14: We Need a Big Man to Step Up
Roy Williams talked about next season on a Tar Heel Tour stop in Greensboro and among the biggest needs for 2013-14 is a big man, maybe two to step up.
The primary question leading into practice next fall revolves around which post player will emerge as a complimentary option at the 5-spot alongside McAdoo – a probe that went unanswered last season.

Featherston: Duke-Carolina
There’s a reason that Duke-North Carolina is the best rivalry in college basketball – and maybe the best in all of sports.
Usually, when the two Tobacco Road neighbors meet, it’s a clash of titans. Nobody in college basketball has been as successful in the modern era (usually defined as the 64-team NCAA Tournament era, which started in 1985) than Duke and Carolina. Kansas...
Fast Break: Upset a sign of trouble for UCLA?
Maybe it is time to ask, for about the 30th time in the last four years, what is up with UCLA basketball.
You have heard by now that the Bruins blew an 18-point second-half lead and lost to Cal-Poly on Sunday. This game was played in front of 8,317 people in a building that holds 12,829. At the end of the game, after UCLA tied it, Norman Powell committed a foul on purpose with...

That Other Scandal

Kentucky may have historic draft class
Kentucky will travel to New Orleans with one acceptable outcome; cut down the nets, or bust. But even if they go bust during the Final Four, they're likely to make history a few months later.
That's because all five starters for the Wildcats are ticketed for the first round in June's NBA draft. Freshman phenoms Anthony Davis and Michael-Kidd Gilchrist could be the first...

Daily Dribbles: 2.24.12
Good evening, Dribblers! It will be a short Dribbles today. Maybe there shouldn't be one at all. I mean, after all, what really happened last night anyway?
The Lakers lost. So you know I cried myself to sleep slowly while listening to Elliot Smith. But I suppose there is some sort of news out there. There are always rumors in the league, especially when it comes to the...
