People make some truly bizarre wardrode decisions before heading to the Dean Dome. One particular lady was wearing an extra long sweater and boots. No sign of pants of any kind. Just an extra long sweater and boots.
Virginia Tech’s decision to play outstanding defense is apparently not dictated by whether or not they’re playing at home.
Think back to Tywon’s first-half blistering drive to the basket, followed by a three-pointer, followed by another length-of-the-court dribbling that would have resulted in a Brandan Wright dunk if the ball hadn’t grazed the fingers of a Virginia Tech defender. Ty did all of this immediately after giving the tired signal.
It’s not hard to picture Seth Greenburg as a football coach. This is rare for many basketball coaches. Just try to envision Roy wearing a headset while roaming the sidelines. Hard to picture isn’t it? Dave Odom is too short. Paul Hewitt is too tall. Rick Majerus is too fat. Mark Few is too skinny. Pete Gillen’s hair is too red. But Seth Greenburg…that’s a football coach if ever we’ve seen one.
Roy is the master of the final play before halftime. Wayne’s three-pointer as time expired was the latest proof of this. Remember also the play Roy drew up for Brandan at the end of the first half against Virginia in the Dean Dome. And don’t forget Bobby’s 30-foot three-pointer against Arizona last season. Actually, that last one may have had more to do with Bobby than Roy.
Jury is still out on Roy’s end-of-the-second-half play mastery.
Props to Charlie Scott for wearing his Mr. Rogers sweater to the game.
Anytime Roy slaps the scorer’s table so hard that you can hear it in downtown Carrboro, a technical foul is probably justified. That said, anytime Roy feels the need to slap the scorer’s table so hard that you can hear it in downtown Carrboro, he’s probably justified in doing so.
One issue stands above the rest when it comes to divisiveness within the Carolina fan base. It’s not the issue of where students should sit in the Dean Dome or if Ty is better as a freshman than Raymond or if Billy Packer hates Carolina more than Len Elmore. No, the most controversial issue is whether or not the Blues Brothers are cool or the worst second-TV-time-out-of-the-second-half entertainment ever conceived.
Ah, the ol’ Ronald-Curry-is-hurt-and-can’t-shoot-his-free-throws trick. Had to know that was gonna come back to bite us eventually.
Lots of long, hyphenated phrases in this edition of Random Thoughts. Based on the outcome of the game, we’ll be banning the use of hyphens on the website at least until the ACC Tournament.
Though we were never huge fans of conference expansion, Carolina Water Cooler now officially recognizes Virginia Tech as an ACC team.
