Mike & I toured the brand new Carolina Basketball Museum before yesterday's game. The museum was fantastic - filled with highlights, paraphenalia, & interviews with the greats that have come through the program - Ford, Wallace, Jordan, Montrosse (my high school crush!!), Stackhouse, Reid, Worthy, Carter, Felton, May, etc. We saw the championship trophies, tons of pictures, old school basketball shorts that were heinously small (thank goodness that fad is over), and even the letter from Coach K wishing Michael Jordan well since he had chosen to play for UNC over Duke (aka "The Letter"). Priceless.
Then came the game itself. Let's just say that the first half was embarrassing and torturous to watch. We played horribly. Doesn't help that we are down to our 3rd string point guard, and our other starting guard got hurt, too. Second half started off just as poorly. We were down by as much as 15 pts. Mike even suggested we leave with the last 8:30 to go. BUT, miracles can happen. Carolina turned it around and took the game into 2 overtimes before winning 103 to 93. It was mayhem in the Dean Dome. Absolute craziness. I am hoarse from yelling. SO much fun!
Check out this video of a pre-game tradition - so fun. It will be a sad day when Danny Green graduates!!
