WHAT a GAME! Felton’s well on his way to redeeming himself from the _mumbledribblemumble_, and of course May was marvellous. But WHAT a GAME! Edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting, hair-pulling, squeezing-a-win in the last, what, _twenty seconds_ on the clock? Jesus Christ, what a roller coaster!

YESSSSSSSSS!

I only caught the last part of the game, because it was a gorgeous day and just too nice to be inside. I thought Carolina was going to lose, but they pulled it off. Woohoo!!

On the down side, we’ll probably have riots on Franklin Street tonight. I hope they don’t burn any cars this time. They’re already setting bonfires, but there’s a lot of security, so maybe it won’t get out of control.

I bet Coach K is mad!!! 😃

This has to be the best rivalry in basketball. I loved the intensity that both teams played with. Since I am not a follower of either team, it is great to enjoy the game as a fan of basketball. Congrats to the Tar Heels, although there win will probably be overshadowed by Ohio State knocking off Illinios with a three-pointer with about five seconds to play. GO BUCKS!!!

That last five minutes of game time was _insane_. Hell, the last forty seconds of game time was insane! (My family’s been UNC alumni for ~200 years, so this game is always a Really Big Deal. :)) You can really feel that energy with the teams, too – I think this is one of my favorite parts of the season. All of that “GRRRR! ARRRR! TARHEEL SMASH!” YEAH!
