I've been fairly tough on this youngster (pointing at Thompson) -- I've been tough on a lot of people, but I've been fairly tough to this youngster -- and he played his tail off tonight. He went brain dead for the first play of the second half and came running over and said "Don't kill me" and I said "I'm going to think about it."

Roy Williams, after last night's William & Mary game.

Why are people still hating on N'Diaye?

He sounds pretty upset about it. I think he's still a little bitter about the haters.

"I don’t think I could have picked a better time to be born. These four years: 500 wins for Coach Williams, 600 wins, 2,000 wins, national championship, Obama; it’s just unbelievable the stuff that’s happened while I’ve been here. And I’m blessed every day to be a part of it."

Marc Campbell, whose had a pretty eventful time at college. Something to rib his dad, member of the '66 team, about.

"Some of the stuff that the guy put in there is just so ridiculously false. It’s just crazy – like my parents are involved in an unhealthy way? That’s not true at all. They said my girlfriend is an influential figure. I don’t have a girlfriend. Why would they put up that?"

Larry Drew, on transfer rumors. I'm shocked – shocked – a random internet site might be wrong about these sort of things.

ACC to Menace Women's Basketball Fans with Giant Shoe

This entire press release just reads like an Onion article. "Giant shoe to drop giveaways, including t-shirts and stress-relieving dumbbells, to screaming fans next week." "Blimp will step foot in the Greensboro Coliseum, and it marks the first chance for fans to catch a t-shirt or redeemable coupon from its sole." "Hello, airplanes? This is blimps. You win." Oh, wait.

How Badly Are Turnovers Killing the Heels?

How Badly Are Turnovers Killing the Heels?

Pretty badly, but not as much as you'd think. Backing the Pack has run the numbers on points per effective possessions in the ACC – basically how the teams would score if turnovers were taken out of the equation – and UNC is still only 7th in offensive production. With the turnovers, they're 11th.

That's nothing compared to FSU, who drops from 3rd to 10th when turnovers are factored in. That upcoming game still looks to be a train wreck.

"The biggest positive is the way we played the first 32 minutes. If we had played that way the entire season, we would not be in this predicament right now. In the back of my mind it is killing me. If we had played like that from the start of Virginia Tech until right now, who knows what our record could be, but I know we wouldn't be in this situation right now."

John Henson, after the Duke loss. It's killing a lot of the fans, too.

Even the Ivy League knows this thing.

Is Henson on Track?

An article on how and why Henson has been playing more in the post and less at small forward over the last couple of games. Most of it was probably written before the Maryland game, since it doesn't mention his numbers reverting to the mean with that game.

"Yeah, we told him chicks would totally dig a beard. What I don’t understand is how Zoub has grown an eighth of an inch of bearded patches on three spots of his face, and still manage to have his face smell like moldy pizza. The joke’s really been on us."
