Sophomore point guard Adam Boone's name can now be crossed out. After North Carolina and Minnesota media outlets reported Tuesday that Boone would transfer, the University made it official Wednesday.
When reporters surrounded Smith, who had sat by Bill Guthridge's side 11 days earlier when Guthridge announced his retirement, he expressed that he didn't want to be there and looked for excuses to leave the circus.
North Carolina's Brian Morrison, a sophomore guard on the men's basketball team, announced Monday he will transfer to an undetermined school. The transfer marks the season's second and leaves the Tar Heels with three scholarship upperclassmen on next year's team after an 8-20 season.
On March 8, 15 years after the introduction of the shot clock, an unconventional UNC team, facing Duke in the ACC Tournament's first round for the first time, turned back the clock. Coach Matt Doherty, desperate against a team that had beaten his by a combined 54 regular-season points, dusted off that chapter of UNC's playbook at the end of a season that has rewritten the record book.
"You know, I still think you can move those three banners to the left ... ," Williams said as the fans drowned out the end of his speech.
The whistle blew, the layup fell through the hoop, and Capel pointed at Hobbs. In another time, another season, the extended index finger could have been a No. 1, as in ranking. In 2002, the gesture stood for the one streak UNC had remaining by the last game at the Smith Center -- Clemson's complete futility in Chapel Hill.
Last year, a win against Duke would have given the Tar Heels the regular-season crown outright. Instead, the loss forced them to share. However, UNC kept the top seed in the conference tournament by virtue of the tie-breaking rules.
Too bad the Tar Heels had been sending N.C. State to the free-throw line all night. The Wolfpack, a 75.5-percent team from the line, had plenty of chances to perfect its stroke.
Hadn't the University of North Carolina learned its elementary lesson? Didn't the one-point squeaker against Binghamton do the trick? And what about the EA All-Stars taking UNC to school? This isn't the Tar Heel basketball of old, and the Tar Heels of all people should know that by now. Right?
Having been repeatedly beaten over the head with the UNC record book that so many past players had eloquently written, the young Tar Heels had begun to feel a bit orphaned this season. They wondered if the old Tar Heels were embarrassed or even ashamed. Perhaps they would disown their juniors, leaving them on a lonely doorstep.
Ringwald's fictional family in the 1984 classic "Sixteen Candles" sent her character, Sam, into depression when they forgot her 16th birthday.
With his country's flag flying between Iceland's and Ireland's, Keshavan strutted across the icy Salt Lake City stage -- alone.
The team turned east for Chapel Hill after an excruciating loss at Wake Forest just as 33-year-old Dean Smith's team had 37 years earlier.
Krzyzewski's delay offense, which he called with 10 minutes remaining, kept the No. 1 Blue Devils from their largest margin of victory ever against the Tar Heels (35).
Whether Oswald acted alone, whether aliens crashed at Area 51 and whether astronauts actually landed on the moon are no longer the great fruitless American questions.
He landed on his back side, fell to the ground and crawled to the Wolfpack bench. He tried to make it to an available chair toward the end of the row but couldn't. Wincing in pain and holding his hip, which his shorts hung below after the spill, Grundy forced trainer Charlie Rozanski to tend to him on the floor.
Jackie Manuel blocked Connecticut's first shot. The Tar Heels casually broke the Huskies' press for a layup. Manuel and Kris Lang went inside-out for an open 3. Lang jammed.
"One, two, three. Dominate," they barked as the huddle broke.
Thankfully, the ridiculously tired and equally absurd ritual of gridiron victory celebrations wasn't necessary at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
