Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
All is right in the universe again. UNC returns to #1. Also, UNC's women's team is 18-0 and ranked #2 in the country.
Good omen: Over the last 19 seasons, four Carolina teams have also started the year 14-1. All four (1993, 1995, 1998, and 2005) ended the year in the Final Four; two of the four won the national title.
All is right in the universe again.
I dunno, the dark matter has been getting a little too filamentary lately.

Posted by: stiknstein at January 9, 2007 08:08 PMThe great thing about college hoops is that it doesn't really matter who's ranked #1. It all comes out at tourney time.
Posted by: Charles Watkins at January 10, 2007 11:25 AMAt least UNC was able to realease themselves of the burden of being #1 today.
VT beating Duke AND UNC in one week? 3rd sign of the apocalypse, methinks.
Posted by: Mr. Sticky at January 13, 2007 06:14 PMI'd say VT's likely to climb into the Top 25 come Monday, huh? Hell of a week for them.
Posted by: apostropher at January 13, 2007 06:37 PMDamn, VT is not to be trifled with. I thought of you as UNC lost, having just had my own heart broken as a die-hard UCLA fan.
Posted by: Jake at January 13, 2007 07:53 PMThe last time the universe has been in the proper alignment was 1996-98. But at least the coach of the current men's champion got his start in the centre of Men's College Basketball. Repeat after me, University of Kentucky......
Posted by: gene kelly at January 14, 2007 07:21 PMlast time the universe was in proper alignment was 1996-98. Where did the coach of the Current Men's Championship start his coaching career
Posted by: gene kelly at January 14, 2007 09:11 PMThat was a terrible game to lose--maybe we'll play defense next time--but I can't help but feel good for Sidney Lowe. All due respect. That's a great win for him.
Posted by: apostropher at February 3, 2007 06:20 PMA huge win for Sid Lowe, and a huge loss for Roy Williams, his record against NC State is now a paltry 11-1!
