• So far this Tarheel pre-game show has been 30 min abt whether Hansbrough will play & 15 min abt everything else. Like it matters. Move on! #
• Also very sick of how the TV replays (uncontested) baskets instead of controversial calls. Save the highlights for later, ESPN. #basketball #
• Final score: UNC 98, Mich St. 63. As I said: it didn’t matter if Hansbrough (25 points) played or not. #basketball #
