Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, January 09, 2004

The college rivalries in the state of North Carolina are some of the best in all of sports.

Last night, NC State nearly pulled off a big upset over #13 UNC. The Wolfpack were up for most of the game, but UNC rallied, and La'Tangela Atkinson scored with three seconds left to get the one-point win.

On Sunday, the Tarheels roll into Cameron. The rivalry in the women's game doesn't have quite the history that the men have had. But it's still huge.

"It's going to be awesome," said Alana Beard "We always have a good turnout when we play a team like UNC. I think everyone's pretty excited about it, it's going to be a great game, it's always a great game against UNC."
