Coach K, Barkley Speak Out Against HB2 During NCAA Tournament

It’s been 11 months since the North Carolina Tar Heels hearts were broken at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas when Kris Jenkins hit a buzzer-beater to help Villanova beat UNC. “They worked their way up”. The biggest thing to me is for them to understand how much fun this time of year can be. “But they couldn’t go further than No. 2”. The Tar Heels won their second consecutive outright ACC regular season championship, and once again find themselves well positioned as a No. 1 seed in the 2017 NCAA Tournament.

North Carolina, the top seed in the South region, begins NCAA Tournament play against Texas Southern on Friday in Greenville, S.C.

Barkley, working CBS’s NCAA tournament coverage on Thursday, took a moment between games to share his thoughts on the controversial law that discriminates against LGBT people by specifying they must use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender on their birth certificate. “Anyway, I don’t want to get too political”.

Here’s how to watch UNC vs. Texas Southern online. Meeks leads in rebounds with 9.1 while Theo Pinson leads in assists with 4.1 per game. He is setting career highs in scoring average, three-point percentage (.385), three-pointers and rebounds.

Davis has the experience of coaching in a national championship game when he was at Indiana. Outside the victory the good news, for the Tar Heels, was that Justin Jackson, the junior forward who earned ACC Player of the Year honors, broke out of his recent shooting funk. Ball is the engine for UCLA’s offensive production with his court awareness, passing ability and athleticism. Berry stayed back on UNC’s end of the court, but he didn’t go to the post ready for the fast-break play when the Tar Heels got the ball back, he hung to the right wing and Tony Bradley scored in the post.

The head coach praised UNC’s opponent, Texas Souther saying it won’t be any pushover game.

No. 12 Middle Tennessee State. Only three times since 1979 has a No. 1 seed not made the Final Four, so expect to see at least one.

The Tar Heels, the regular-season champion in the ACC, kept the No. 1 seed despite losing to Duke in the conference semifinals.

Although Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson won’t be walking through the door, the rest of this veteran Tar Heel squad will finally get a chance to show the nation what folks in Chapel Hill have spent all year paying attention to.

“When somebody says, ‘do you regret doing HB2?’ No and absolutely not, I do not regret it”, Brody said, adding it made decades-long policy into state law. This is their first NCAA Tournament appearance in seven years. Their 10-game winning streak soon followed.

Kentucky is a talented No. 2 seed. For us to have an emphasis before the Duke game to play without fouling, then to allow them to shoot 37 free throws, that means we didn’t do a very good job of what we’d focused on. Should UNC get past that matchup and advance to the regional in Memphis, their road to the Final Four could also include a Sweet 16 date with fourth-seeded Butler (23-8) and an Elite Eight showdown with either second-seeded Kentucky (29-5) or No. 3 UCLA (29-4).
