#12 R.P.I. North Carolina vs. #81 R.P.I. Virginia Tech: 

Virginia Tech men’s hoops got its (kinda) tired azz up off of the nearly officially f’ugly status 3-game and 18-odd-day L’ing schneid.

The Hokies are now up to a reasonable 14 up vs. 1o down overall and a (now) nearly .5oo in intra-league runs (6-7). That’s back in the convo’ for post-seasoning in lieu of being marooned: Spring Broke. Now we draw one of the all-time D-1, P5, menz hoops powers. The North Carolina t.Heels. Nor.Carolina checks in at: #7 in the Nation. Great for a: 1st-place All Championship Conference standings top of the ’24 regular season heap. 19 up against 6 down and a downright spiffy looking: 11-3 or .786 in conference calling play. This one is the (only) BIG one remaining before the A.c.c. Tourney itself opens fo’ business. Nonetheless, what you wanna know is… who is gonna win and by how much, rights? So, reads on… to finds, out!

North Carolina Head Coach: Hubert Ira Davis Jr.: Age=53, 68–29 (.7o1) and @U.n.c. alike. Has a rep’ for: don’t know yet? Need data points here, tho’ you’d have to think recruiting and Guarding/backcourting most likely.

$600,000.oo (base;  he will be paid $750,000 per year from his agreements with Nike and Learfield IMG College, plus incentives/performance, tho’ still, had on the cheap!)
Now: jumped quickly up to $2.8 then 3.1-mill!

Baller Ira Davis attended Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia, averaging 28.0 points per game his senior year. After the fact, Davis went on to the University of North Carolina, where he holds the record for the highest career three-point percentage in school history. In his junior year, he helped lead the team to its first Final Four appearance since the Tar Heels won it all in 1982. After averaging 21.4 points per game his senior year, he graduated in 1992 with a degree in Criminal Justice.

The New York Knicks then selected Davis with the 20th overall pick in the 1992 National Basketball Association Draft. He made the winning free throws after Hue Hollins called a disputed foul against Scottie Pippen in Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Chicago Bulls, giving the Knicks an 87–86 win.

Davis remained with New York for four years and was traded to the Toronto Raptors before the 1996-97 season. After Toronto, Davis spent time with the Dallas Mavericks, Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons, and New Jersey Nets. Davis played his final N.B.A. game in 2oo4, finishing with career averages of 8.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. Davis’s nearly 44.1% N.B.A. career three-point shot percentage ranks him third behind Steve Kerr and Seth Curry. Or, living the life 1o1…

Starting in 2oo8, Davis began working for ESPN as a college basketball analyst. Then on May 2, 2o12, Davis returned to U.N.C. as an assistant under then-head coach Roy Williams. Davis also served as head coach of U.N.C.’s junior varsity basketball team, the only JV team in the A.c.c. He helped the Tar Heels win the 2o17 NC2A Men’s Basketball tournament.

Williams retired on April 1, 2o21. Four days later, on April 5, Davis was announced as the 19th head coach in Tar Heel basketball history, and the first African-American to lead the program. Although Davis had never been a head coach of a varsity team at any level, Williams had been grooming him for a head coaching job much in the same way that Dean Smith had groomed Williams during Williams’ time on the U.N.C. bench as an assistant from 1978 to 1988. For example, Williams had handed Davis the reins of the JV team in order to give him experience leading a team in real-time.

(OBSERVE: although having a very keen ’24 year, has been flat or on a slight career decline as the pure rise/run slopping goes… a Ripley’s Coach… “believe it or, not!“)

Poppa-bear Davis and his wife Leslie have three children: Elijah, Bobbie Grace, and Micah. Elijah will play college basketball for the University of Lynchburg starting in the 2o21-2o22 season.
When at the conference announcing his hiring as the UNC basketball coach, when
prompted about being the first Black UNC head coach, Davis caused public
debate by stating he’s proud to be African-American,
yet also proud that his wife is …White.

Davis is a devout Christian.
bra-vo!

Returning Starters=4’ish** (somewhere(s)).

North Carolina Strengths:

• * see: pic: IMBd, Movie Star on the side… (Lindy’s 1st-string all-A.c.c.): (Lindy’s Player of the year A.c.c.): (Lindy’s Top Rebounder A.c.c.): … do you see see see an A.c.c. trend here? As all of that (and mo’) would be from: one #5, and rarefied stuck-around seniorific year Armando Bacot is a 6′11″, lengthy/rangy-looking P/F Commonwealth refugee (Richmond, Va.) at (a: now): 24o lbs. (Which is code for he (somehow) grew an off-season inch and found a handful of pounds, which could make some science-fact sense?)
  Anywho… Bacot led IMG Academy to a prep national championship in 2o19 and he was also a member of the U18 USA Basketball national team with Cole Anthony and Coby White, winning a gold medal with the same. Before that, he won the 2o17 VISAA Division-I state championship at Trinity Episcopal School. Bacot is said to be a true internal player and nobody’s stretch-Euro-F. Bacot has excellent hands and excels on the defensive glass (nearly a tricentennial or almost 3oo d-reb’s already). Armando found about 15 lbs. of sinew last off-season and this helped him drop you a then team-pacing 11.7 points per nite with 7.6 rpg and he led the way in SWAT team work with .8 swats on a sparkling team-besting 62.2% overall. This year he was still bettering himself… up to 14.2 ppg with 1o.2 rpg, on 1.6 apg a swipe and nearly 1.7-full swats. A useful 55% floored this season with his free-throwing level-up: (79.4%). As this kid has rounded out his roundball game. This kid’s a Pro,’ although it does look like he could add another 5 lb. plate or more and fill in a bit more upstairs to me. Tho’ he has a right-elbow-ding (St.Julia) bless history and maybe that is messin’ with that, here? (And oh-yes, did Eye mention the Dimetrodon or Jurassic Park hairstyle, yet?) Overall, he looks about the same to me physically, his measurable did NOT move at all this off-season may or may not be a good thing. The hair however gets you a FREEbee all-day mandatory entry pass into Jurassic Park. Dropping and rolling dimes, foreshadowing, intended! Tho’ Mister Bacot is good, prolly very— the only remainder calculus is… is he, great? UPDATE: this kid was good when I wrote this— this kid is now starting to flirt with being great… legit).
  (UPDATE2: recall: Bacot was babcocked for the last 1.75 games with a cockeyed coccyx | YIKES and St.DeClan bless!)
  (UPDATE3: then he twice sprained his orthodox or right ankle in the semis and in the finals again to close last year (St.Philip bless twice!) And he PLAYED on it jus’ the damn same! TUFF kid.
  (UPDATE_IV: then we see that Bacot played the Indy game on a hobbled right ankle and briefly left the court to go to the locker room to have his right shoulder taped. (St.Christopher bless).
  Again… this is not a sissy fru-fru kid… his touches are down of late… gotta wonder why(s)?
• * (Lindy’s 2nd-string All-A.c.c.): (Lindy’s Most Entertaining A.c.c.): would be… R.J. Davis. Who is a 6′, (now): 18o lb. Jr., Point-G. Davis (now) gets you: 21.4 ppg with 3.6 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.3 spg, all of which is on a pretty tight 41.1% from three-point-land. This one vends a Koufax or lefty look from his unorthodox shooting stance. (Which only helps on D). He also fields a twist top with big azz Samuel L. Jax lamb chops served up on the side. You are Sophomorically visually warned, here. Academic All-ACC team honoree is always a most welcome Qb1 of your hoopology O look. +1 u.n.c.edu point awarded accordingly, here. Prior… R.Jay was only named: the 2o2o Gatorade High School Player of the Year in New York and he was also only named: New York’s Mr. Basketball! That does not suck, might even be a clue of sorts… so might Davis’ 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.1 steals along the way to back-to-back NYC and NY-State championships alike! Dang… that counts. As did his breaking of a lotta regional scholastic scoring markers along the way. Said to be a pretty good football and futball (soccer) baller as well. And his dad scored 2,118 points (without a three-point shot) from 1982-86 at Mercy College and still holds the Manhattan school’s career scoring record. Dang, and that counts too. As the D.N.A. might just be double-helix N.B.A here. ESPN’s 43rd baller overall and yet only 9th best One or Point-G in his class; (curious, n’est-ce pas?). Whispers say he can lockdown defend, and he has several halting awards on his resumé for it to boot. 48% from the floor is quite reasonable at this stage of his career. Or at least it was… as he has now slumped down to 38.9% overall so early ’22 far. Still, yet, this Davis kid is a keeper, the only question is where does the next level keep, him? As he is noticeably mo’ demonstrative this campaign upon breaking the offensive tape. This is *his* team now. Make no misQ on that. And that seems to be helping/ordinating the all rest. (Which is a good thing on a team with so many stars and only one, ‘ball).
  (UPDATE: has found just a pinch or two of right-mass/sinew, still not super-sized tho’).
  (UPDATE2: on an offensive output tear of late— mid 2o’s up to hi’ 3o’s if you need ’em)!

  

• * Stanford transfer, 6′7″, 225 lb., strong lookin’: Harrison Ingram; is a overloaded S/F. Ingram ingrains his games for:  12.6 ppg with a second-best 8.8 rpg on 2.3 apg and 1.4 spg. That’s a pretty fair-to-middling full-ish-looking stat-shelf left to right for a kid who is not better than your 3rd (and some say: ‘4th’) option in possession terms folks. He gettin’ his no matter what is {sic: play} called. And you have to admire that determination to go’on and do so. This is a doer, not a crier. BIG-D or Ewing Oil (Dallas, Tx.) native. Right at the head of the Julis Erving (Three or S/F) national watch list. Durable physically willing kid; likes to 2-hand-jam on the finish. Has been stalkier all over since the New Year hit. Bettering himself nearly straight (box score) across. A go-getter here. Lindy’s says Harrison is your Ford tough of A.c.c. Three’s. Netted a gold medal on the 2021 FIBA U-19 World Cup run. Great on that. Was named: Texas State Private School Player of the Year (‘2o) and won a Texan State bling (St.Mark’s H.S.) for it too. Self-proclaimed: ‘ping-pong, chess and poker’ expert on-team. LOL. Is a versatile inside/out playar. From an ATH: fam’: his older bro’, Will, played basketball at Middlebury from 2o17-21 and his lil’ sis’, Lauren, plays volleyball at Duke. ESPN’s 22nd overall; mo’ may have been expected here. Wears an XL smile; that’s good in chemistry/locker-room terms. Still yet, prolly is no less than an export-caliber baller due to his entirety of game. Good on that: sojourning Dale Solomon lives the life, him.
• * (Also a:) Stanford transfer, (now): Graduate and last year’s necessary sit-down Cormac Ryan is a 6′5″, 195 lb. Junior/Senior reclassified baller with rulebook (now apparently) resolved eligibility issues. Tho’ his current So.Bend averages of: 1o.6 ppg with 3.o rpg and 1.4 apg. This on: 36.5% shooting from the floor and 3o.4% from downtown seem relatively rural to me. As this kid has dropped a bit this year; like he be carrying some ding(s) about or whatever it is, is off in ’24 terms. The rep’ here says that Cormac (cool name) is a high-pressure defender who can shoot and that’s not the worst scorers-table medicine coming in off your bench let me tell you. 86.4% on the FT line is not a guy to horse around with after practice, either. Curiously enough… Cormac is a little down shooting-wise, and yet a mo’ than a little up on his scoring thus far this year. 3rd straight season as the “C” or team Captain and 2nd straight year as: A.c.c. Academic Honor Roll. So, that checks out swell enuff. This from: the **** or 68th (247Sports) guy in all the land a ½ decade back. Lindy’s however deigns to call Cormac a: “lights out shooter”, so that counts. As does Mister Ryan’s penchant for raising his post-season game and ridin’ clutch in key moments. This kid is a fringe export baller, as someone could possibly use a shooter who can go 3-n-D and represent a bit locker room-wise in ’24 terms.

North Carolina Weaknesses:

• Some roster flux here— although, not ’24 Social Needia era (escape) goat. As a couple of veteran stars did return and that is never a bad sign.
• Nearly the whole rotation is up in weight. Not bad weight either. Like a couple of weight-cuffs to a 1o-lb. plate. Clearly, u.N.c. took their off-season G.N.C., seriously indeed.
• Some preview mags did cite: Qb1 or Pt.Guard concern 4your411.

t.Heels Bench: (depth=) 238th most in pine ppg.

F, Jalen Washington (’22-2o23 OUT, knee, St.Nikon bless). Washington was idled while recovering from a torn ACL, last time we checked. 6′1o″, 23o lb., Four. Salutatorian in his H.S. graduating class. .edu much love on dats. Has a seven-foot, four-inch wingspan; that counts. As do his cello and piano accomplishment backgrounds musically alike. So, however, do his history of knee dents. As historically speaking, Washington has not capitalized on-court since 2o21. Having missed his final scholastic season (knee). And yet he was 247’s 51st baller overall, and ESPN’s 40th still yet! So that counts too for this twice hurt Five or true-C. Jalen had the look-n-feel of a more defensive baller as a junior-year high schooler from what I can see. Tho’ we may or may not be seeing him this year… Godspeed here. As of this year he is sorta working his way back… though at least… 4.3 ppg with 2.7 rpg and 68.4% from the floor show he is making signs/progressing. As this is an alluring teasy prospect; if/when his body allows… time=tell on the Pro’ locale rest.

Seth Trimble G 6′3″, 195 lb. He was only the Gatorade Player of the Year and Mr. Basketball in Wisconsin in 2oo2. Only a National High School Slam Dunk Contest participant too. So, you know he gots hops in his… sox. Trimble also only won a gold medal with Team USA’s U18 Men’s National Team in the 2o22 FIBA U18 Americas Championship. Where he won himself something of a clutch free-throwing rep’ in tight(er) games (88%). Now for U.n.c., he is netting you: 5.4 ppg with 2.4 rpg on ~42.9% from the 3-ball range. 3oth National baller from 247Sports. Has improved -nearly doubling- all his metrics since we caught him last. Not the kid you wanna check from range; having added a nearly unheard of: ~+23% to his longball since ’23 ended.  wowow. As that’s tittering on: his range is the gym, if he is in it, he is, open; status. Trimble keeps peeps trembling from that long and he is not less than an export long-shot itself. Everyone always needs 1-mo’ pure shooter these spice-boy/Curry days.

(Lindy’s 3rd-string All-A.c.c. ¦ and Lindy’s A.c.c. Newcome of the Year);  (this: sans having played a game)! Freshmenic, 6′1″, 18o lb. Elliot Cadeau G. Before having played even one single, solitary A.c.c. down you asks? Well, Ellie was only named the 2o23-24 Preseason A.c.c. Rookie of the Year. That’s all. No pressure there, LOL. So far he is: 7.8 pointing with 1.8 rebounding and 3.9 assisting his debut way along. Such are nice Qb2 digits; fair play, tho’ not epic or ROTY ones though. In H.S. Cad’-downloaded a Natty bling as he won the GEICO Nationals championship in Ft. Myers, Fla., behind his tournament-record 29 assists in three games. That graphs well enuff. Did have a ruff history of scholastic ankle rolls, (St.Philip bless); as one expensed him his whole entire sophomore H.S. season to boot. Ouch. Lil’ bro’ is a netter (Tennis) star at Howard. And Cadeau did play for Sweden’s national team. Where he won gold medals with the Swedish U-16 national team in the 2o2o Baltic Sea Basketball Cup in Estonia, in 2o21 at the U-18 Nordic Championship, and in the 2o22 at the FIBA U-18 European Championship B Division in Romania. Yups. Eye’d have to reckon 3 global medals take thy dorm’ room up a notch or three. A consensus five-star recruit who pinnacled at: Rivals 8th overall. Everyone’s alpha Pt.Guard1 outta H.S. Everyone! He also helped his club team, Sports U/Team IZOD, win the 2o19 Under Armour Nationals. Yah; that too helps you preppy/pop thy LOGO collar for the girls. Kinda favors the “Kid” from: Kid-n-Play just a mite with the floppy moppy twist-top and lighter completion. A lot is expected here… we shall “a lot” ’25 and beyond see… time=tell. Tho’ most still project: ‘Pro” baller here. (As in… some campfire ‘whispers’ say he was considering a Japanese pro’ offer (already) last summer!) wow.

Grad’ year, 6′1o″, 21o lb., beanpole-looking: Jae’Lyn Withers… is yet another towering P/F near C kinda U.n.c. frontcourt guy. Who has somehow grown since being an ex-of 3-years starting over in Louisville by nearly 2-inches. Technically: a: r-Sr. or debut year+1 -now, somehow reclassified as +2 in class rank- Jae’Lyn Withers is a leaner looking than he is listed P/F by way of the Queen City of Charlotte, Nc. He is also said to be a high riser who can and will dunk all over you off the dribble. The fact that Jae’Lyn won the team slam dunk competition at the preseason “Louisville Live,” a preseason outdoor event at Fourth Street Live in downtown Louisville might just speak to this. His pops (Curtis) was only all-conference U.S.A. in hoops down at Charlotte his own self. Ditto his 1st-cousin: (Jaire Alexander) who played football for three seasons at Louisville (2o15-17) and is currently a Cb for the Green Bay Packers, where he was a first-round draft pick in 2o18. So, the N.b.a. D.n.a. could be at least a recessive gene here. Maybe mo’… as the relative athletics are all in place. As 10.2 ppg and the team lead at 8 rpg in relief are none too shabby on just 25 mpg. Or, at least they were not last year. This year Withers has withered to: 9.3 ppg on 5.4 rpg and 1 spg. And his 57% from the floor has gone a negative Sweet-16 all the way down to 43.2% this campaign. Said to be a finisher who keys the paint. Interesting 100th ranked national prospect by Rivals who could blossom if his shooting (23.8%) deepens a bit more in time. AND… it did… all the way up to a sharpshooting and team-leading 42.6 percent. Again, mo’ should be happening, here. He has too much Talent for dis. Which is most interesting… when you see that he found 1-inch in verts and then cut a 1o-lb.-plate in, weight this off-season; go fig’ on that? Tho’ do fig’ on his dunk contest wins; plural. As Rivals 100th ranked ballers who can shoot and dunk may just (barely) qualify for fringe overseas work— here’s hoping he do. Plus… his bio’ says: “he loves anime.” So, there is that… too.

Illation, conclusion(s) and OPT digits:

Number of heels who could flat-foot @Tech=most/all?

the takeaway:
The takeaway here is…

…is not to be too taken with this one as a one off’er of sorts.

We do not often win this one is the cold hard Tech-truth. The O&M scopolamine. Truth or, scare.

’cause after this one here… we catch our archrival right on the Owens Dining Hall homecourt mush. Then we begin Lombardi’s: “BIG push.”

---

---

What with five, that’s (5) closing games vs. at, near or below .5oo A.c.c teams to close. Three of which we prolly should be the favorite against; two of which we have already beaten.

The snarky part is the upcoming 3 of 4 @Away. That’s a Hard (un)Smart, Tuff 30% historic odds to win each one row to hoe.

(Or, a 2.7% history chance on a Hokie, sweep)!

 ***

Our handy-dandy friend the so-called Forum Guide of Graham Houston fame is calling for a –61-point total dumpster-fire/curb-stomping here. Even when taken pro rata it is still calling for a –6.1-point or about a 2-shot L. Which does seem mo’ manageable to me. The queer part was… this Forum Guide was all over the place. Some crazed-looking +/- 2o to 4o-point swing votes either way. And that could be taken as a ray of light. As the t.Heels seem to find an unfocused stone in their shoe here-n-there. The likewise mostly-cloudy part is that when they dial in and call the focus police they are “book ’em Danno” mo’ than Hawaii Five-O legit. Like making Higgy-babby and Rick and TeeCee pick up the soap. This is also a very tough S.O.S. (strength of schedule) well-seasoned hardwood team. Having tilted vs. a whopping eight, that’s (8) nationally ranked teams (or: 36% of the time) already! (We are national like: 3-times or ~12% only in comparative terms). “The strongest steel…” indeed.

The annualized year-to-date vitals say that… u.N.c. is only up +1%-n-change in shooting percentage margin (from: VT being close to +2% better on O and yet NC was right at –3% thriftier on D overall); with u.N.c. up ~+3% in 3-point percentage margin (all of which is forming being tighter in 3-D terms as VT was actually up +1% with the rock on 3-0), and u.N.c. completes the rarefied sweeping at ~+6 caroms corralled in rebounding margin year-to-date. (due to: beating Tech on the D-glass and nearly shattering Tech off the O-backboard. They were really climbing/skyscraping team here, tall, spring and they go get dat missing work).

The most recent 5-game metrics say that… the Hokies are now up ~3% in shooting percentage margin (due to: shooting some smooth belly rocks of late, tho’ N.c. was –1% starchier on D); with the Heels a sorta well-heeled up +4% in 3-point percentage margin (All: N.c. won on D, as the Techmen have no Y-chromosome for 3-D of late at all, tho’ shooting reasonably well on 3-O), and the Heels are up right at +5 misses collected in rebounding margin in the last fortnight of play. (Mostly: U.n.c. is scaling that O-fiberglass and their D-‘glassing is a little better than ours as well).

Armchair Pt.Guard’s:

Hemmingway Hoops: “To have and to have not…”

• vs. no-names? +13o! This is curious— ‘casue they do not eat that many cupcakes O.O.C. wise from not scheduling that many cupcakes out of conference-wise in the 1st place. H.Davis does not have the look-n-feel of a R.U.T.S. (run-up the score) pure burn-rubber, wheelie, burn-out guy either. He (all less one) pretty much took it easy on the nobodies he clearly coulda run spank off the court. +1 on him.

  

• vs. Surnames? +174❗️ This is all the mo’ impressive when you consider that the level of competition went up; and h.Davis still appeared to take it easy on at least a few chummy A.c.c peeps when and as he could. Further, u.N.c. is exactly a mere five, that’s (5) shots removed from being a 23-2! As nobody has punked u.N.c. or even bothered to beat them by mo’ than 4 Σ, or four total shots in any one game. i.e., this team kinda feels like it is playing 3-wood from the tee-box and leaving a little sompthin’-sompthin’ in the bag to me.

 

LAST 10 GAMES: Tar Heels: 7-3, averaging 82.1 points, 42.0 rebounds, 15.2 assists, 6.3 steals and 3.2 blocks per game while shooting 44.5% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 73.1 points per game.

LAST 10 GAMES: Hokies: 5-5, averaging 75.6 points, 29.9 rebounds, 15.3 assists, 5.1 steals and 2.3 blocks per game while shooting 47.7% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 73.6 points.

VeeTee is actually up +6 in R&R.
U.n.c. is a .9o9 host; whereas VT is .142 as a guest.
V.P.I. is up a nice +4% at the charity stripe for the year.

The Call…

No.11 Net Ranking North Carolina vs. no.62 Net Ranking Vah.Tech:

North Carolina (19-6, 11-3 A.c.c.) has cut three of its last five games after Tuesday night’s setback at Syracuse. The Tar Heels’ lead atop the Atlantic Coast is down to a half-game on Duke entering the weekend. The Tar Heels struggled mightily on the defensive end with Syracuse shooting 62.5 percent from the field. That was the highest percentage for any North Carolina opponent in nine years.

Additionally… the coaching sewing circle says Babs has ‘sore knees’ (plural) this week…
(St.Culbreth bless^2).

They also vibe that Hubby is unhappy with his team’s individual defensive efforting;
in particular vs. the Pick-n-Roll sets.

The VerdicT:

Well, this just in… ‘rain is still rumored to be wet’…

…the A.c.c. host wins homesteading contests right at a 7 in 1o clip historically.

And as said above… it sure feels like Hubby could empty some clips into some sides if/when he decides he wants to send a serial message to the rest of the All-Championship Conference.

U.n.c. is netting a really really nice mesh this year; as opposed to a great mix of ballers that are synergistically mixed up if not juxtaposed. Again, another compliment to Davis who seems to have a buncha **** and ***** stars all aligned into his very own Constellation Class Atlantic Coast vessel.

🖖🏿🏀🖖🏿

Additionally… this U.n.c. team seems mo’ parts smoother bell-curve to me. Less needy/peaky or quad-hump guys all ovulating for the ball(s). Smoother… and that’s a nice tribute word at: Davis to get so many individuals to collectively buy in and make purchases on: Together Everyone Achieves, Mo’. (T.E.A.M).

The digits:

All-n-all… Eye just cannot see a way to make the R.A.T.T. Hurrying Hokie pick here.

As we will need(s) a LOT of U.n.c. help; or maybe their 3-lemons straight across nadir shooting day outta 31 total shooting days for the duration.

E.L.O. #13 👣 >>> 🏀 >>> 🦃 E.L.O. #94

Lacking that, we still by needs need to land our A+++ A-game punch to have a shot in this one here. If U.n.c. decides/wants to be they are that good here. That, and they gets a week off after us, so; they need not adhere to any P.T. (playing-time) sky-blue green or fresh-legs recycling economy here.

–oOo–

Duck Pond “winter has come” thin-ice need not apply to my poison pen here… as even Eye am not so addled to pick the upset pick here.

U.n.c. wins; the only calc’ Eye have to offer is… do they, roll?
