• UNC 45 – Clemson 40 at halftime. Feels like things are coming together. #basketball #
• Oh, I see the system now. You have to stick your hand in Hansbrough’s face three times in a row to get one foul call. #unc #basketball #
• Fortunately UNC is out-playing both Clemson and these useless refs. UNC leads 88-62 w/ 4 minutes left. #basketball #
• Final: UNC 94 – Clemson 70. Basically UNC switched on the defense in the 2nd half, and Wayne Ellington is back. w000t. #basketball #

• OK, I’m going to put on PJs and watch as much as I can until I fall asleep. It should go faster without timeouts & halftime. #
• W?T?F? ESPN2 said the Med Deli is the former Colonial Drugstore – not even on the same block! Civil rights history FAIL! #
