Live from Comcast

The bravest young man in the building was easy to spot: He's the guy smack dab in the middle of the all-red Maryland student section wearing a UNC #32 Rashad McCants jersey (and Carolina-blue wrist bands).

As for the action on the court, just about to get started. And, quite frankly, I confess I have no idea how this game's going to go. The Heels won a huge late-season game here last year but obviously aren't the same team. Really, they've been a different team from game to game lately, so which team shows up tonight? And will David Noel break out after a five-game shooting slump?

On the other side of the equation, Maryland has been all over the map too. They've won 3 of 4 since losing Chris McCray, and Mike Jones has filled in well at guard. But their defense has been pretty atrocious without McCray and they lost at Temple -- not a good way to impress the committee.

So, I'll just sit back and watch now.

Late postscript to this game: Maryland did not look at all like an NCAA-caliber team. Perhaps McCray does make that big a difference. Or the Terps just really lack a good floor leader. They were better Sunday at N.C. State, apparently.

This was a good road win for UNC, regardless. A good time of year to be coming together. And how about Reyshawn Terry string together two complete games (19 pts, 11 rebs Saturday vs. Clemson).
