Nailbiter Frenzy


Tonight after leaving church I went and picked up some game food for the first ACC meeting for Carolina & Clemson. It didn't look pretty from the beginning and pretty much to the end...the officiating for this game was extremely poor. Clemson did a great job at defending the basket the entire game, especially on Hansbrough. The story tonight was definitely surrounding Ellington, scoring a career high 36. For every game this season the Tarheels have had a few dry spells during their games but with a nice double digit lead...meaning I am usually just relaxing on the couch and waiting for one of the leaders to step up and take some charge.
Well tonight's poor substitution calls by Roy Williams & around 20 turnovers led me to an elevated heart rate and sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for something positive to happen for the Heels. Carolina, being 14-0 walking into this game(first ACC game, away game also) was laying a lot on the line, especially since Clemson is a great team this year. After watching Clemson miss three shots to end the game at the end of the regulation, it didn't look good for them. I am very glad Clemson needs to work on their free throws, haha. They were horrible. Now once my heartbeat drops down to normal mode I might be able to get some pillowface time.

ABC,

You do a better job of analyzing the game than the people who are paid to do it!

I enjoy all you articles.

Thx Dad. I know the refs don't have the better angle the TV has, especially when the DVR really helps when they mess up, but anyone with half a brain could've been better than these guys last night. It was pitiful.
