Don't they play always dangerous Temple very early?That's gonna hurt.
That sucks. I was hoping UNC would stay #1 all the way into March before losing to Kentucky in the Final Four.
Unfortunate for Marcus, and this is coming from a Blue Devil. Hopefully he gets back to 100% soon.
Shooting hand or no?
so you want uncheat to make the F4??? not meThat sucks. I was hoping UNC would stay #1 all the way into March before losing to Kentucky in the Final Four.
I hope he gets back to 90%, and that missing 10% is the difference in UNC losing should UK face them in the NCAA Tournament.

Or we could just beat them with him at 100%. That would be fine with me!
Feel bad for the kid. Hope he heals in time to pursue his professional dreams unabated.
If the Hindus and Buddhists are right, this is the beginning of a Karma Shiz-Storm that will continue until somebody at UNC-CHeats has the morality to accept responsibility for the grotesque and disgraceful cheating scandal.
Roy took him to lunch, bought him a co' coler and cried over some cheesy fries.Why is he still at UNC? I thought he would have declared last year.

Well I guess when you actually start going to class and write your own papers injuries can happen.
Anyone know the record of Weeks at #1 off hand? Was UNC ahead of us in that area?
He got an "A" in nutrition class for attending lunch.The NCAA said there was no violation for Roy buying lunch since it was for academic purposes.Roy took him to lunch, bought him a co' coler and cried over some cheesy fries.
Not just an A...an MBA.He got an "A" in nutrition class for attending lunch.The NCAA said there was no violation for Roy buying lunch since it was for academic purposes.
because he's a tweener at the pro level and his draft stock was in question after last season. Can get a chance at a national championship this year before he goes maybe mid-late 2nd round and struggles to make an NBA rosterWhy is he still at UNC? I thought he would have declared last year.
Check the UNC administrative payroll. Maybe his mom got Mrs. Hansbrough's job.
If he's a tweener it's because Roy Williams turned him into one. He was no more a tweener coming out of HS as a McD AA than Brandon Knight, who left and became a multi-millionaire after his freshman year after beating UNC and taking the Cats to the Final Four. Roy didn't develop Paige as a guy who could play at the next level as a PG. He'll never make it in the NBA as a jump shooter.
By the way, I see Marcus Paige is an "academic all-America." No offense to the kid, who I'm sure is a good kid. But what does that mean at a school where Rashad McCants made the Dean's List and got all A's without -- by his own admission -- doing any work whatsoever? How can you name someone from North Carolina an "academic all-America?"
Uh, this is a bad comparison. BK was top 5 prospect coming out of high school, MP was in the 30s.
Paige was a first team Parade All-America, as well as a McDonald's All-America. ESPN had him ranked 22nd and no. 1 as a point guard. One thing is for sure, Roy using him as primarily a shooter is not helping his NBA rankings.
By the way, speaking of rankings, Bobby, when Rashad McCants was on the Dean's List and an All A's student, did UNC nominate him as an "Academic All America?" Or did his comments that he considered school to be prison hurt his case? I think his revelation that he never did any work or went to any classes came later, so that wouldn't have hurt him.
The sad thing is Paige might have earned his status as academic all America, but your school has such a disgraceful record that it has never accepted responsibility for, in the form of imposing punishments, that it makes any athlete from UNC getting named a joke. This is one of the reasons that not accepting any consequences for the scandal is so cowardly.
