NCAA/UNC Preview & ACC Tourney Recap!

UNC Hoops Talk Podcast #55

It's Tourney Time! Win or go home! And to get us all ready Ross Martin of CarolinaBlue.com has come to join me.

First, we recap the ACC tourney and decide how or if the Tar Heels gained any momentum and how the games actually went.

Then we jump right into the Tar Heels path in the NCAAs. How far can they go? What are realistic expectations for the Heels? And everything else you need to know about Carolina in the NCAA Tournament!

UNC vs. Duke PREVIEW #2

UNC Hoops Talk Podcast #53

Before completely diving into the rematch of the Feb. 18 OT thriller with Duke, I first cover the Miami and GaTech wins for the Tar Heels. What went well, who is all back, and how we look going forward.

Then, we jump in for what everyone is really here for...the Duke Preview! Are our chances better or worse the second time around? Who should we be most afraid of going off? Who will step up for us?

Plus a quick look at a little bracketology and where the Tar Heels stand as of now.

Stick around for it all and more! A little giveaway at the end.

UNC/Duke Hype Video!

UNC/Duke Week!

Alright, ready or not it is here! It's the week of the first match-up between the Tar Heels and Blue Devils (as long as Duke can get to the gym if there is snow). It's a big game as UNC has lost 3 of the last 4 going into the game and fighting for a top 4 seed in the ACC tourney to get that double bye. 

Here is the video from ACC Digital Network to get us all ready and hype, as if we needed a video or any help!

Make sure to follow me on vine for highlights of the rivalry heading into the game and highlights during the game: vine.co/AllTarHeelDan.

Pre-UK Roy Williams Press Conference

Leading into the showdown with #1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats, here is Coach Roy Williams weekly press conference.

We will need to really step it up and be ready for this one.  Win or lose I hope we come out and compete with them.

In other news Alex Poythress torn his ACL in practice yesterday and will be out for the season. Obviously this hurts UK overall, but there are a lot of teams that will rally around losing a guy. Of course, Kentucky doesn't need to rally to be really good.  It should and hopefully will be an interesting game.

Enjoy and Pass Along!

UK Preview

UNC Hoops Talk Podcast #42

Coming off a disappointing loss to Iowa in the ACC/B1G Challenge and a convincing bounce back win against ECU, the Tar Heels are now headed into Lexington to take on #1 Kentucky on Saturday.

I will take a look back at the games for last week and then spend most of the time previewing the UNC/UK game. Do we have a shot? Are we overmatched? Will we continue the pattern from last year, losing games we shouldn't and beating the top teams?

Lastly, look at what is coming to end 2014 for Carolina basketball as well.

Go Heels!

Get to know your Tar Heel...Fans!

Do you miss college basketball already? Do you feel the off-season is just too long and Late Night with Roy just can't get here quick enough?

Well you are just like every Tar Heel fan out there then. How well do you know all those other fans going through the same feelings you are experiencing? A lot of us "know" a lot of UNC fans on twitter or Google+ or maybe on YouTube, but do you really know them?

In an effort to help with all of the questions posed about I bring you a new YouTube segment/show. I can't bring you college basketball, but we can talk about it. I can't shorten the off-season, but I can try to take your mind off of it.

"Get to know your Tar Heel...Fans" is going to be a quick interview with a different die-hard Tar Heel fan each week. Each Monday I will release a new interview to help you get through that week (or at least through Monday or whatever day you choose to watch it on).

My hope is to help Tar Heel Nation grow a little closer and tighter, but letting you get to know a Tar Heel fan a little better. Hopefully, though the YouTube video it makes it a little more personal and you feel you know that weeks UNC fan a little better than casual chatter on twitter or any other social media. I will help you connect with the Tar Heel fan of the week and hopefully genuine conversation will ensue from it.

The premiere episode will be released this upcoming Monday, May 5 and plan to have a new one each week until at least when practice begins.

For this all to work I will need a little help and support from all of Tar Heel Nation! First, I need die-hard Tar Heels to be willing to be interviewed and become a Tar Heel fan of the week. It is a pretty painless process and you don't have to be a big-wig or professional to do it. The interview will only be 5-10 minutes, 15 at the most and all of the questions are pretty general about you being a Tar Heel fanatic. You can take it as specific as you want or just stay general, all the more personal you are, the more people will feel they know you and want to connect with you.

Second, we need to get the word out about this project. Subscribing to YouTube.com/UNCHoopsTalk, tweeting, sharing, and posting about each episode so more UNC fans are able to find it, and connecting with each Tar Heel fan of the week will make this a huge success. Then we will be able to show all those other fanbases just how much stronger and better we really are!

Lastly, if you feel you know someone who would be perfect for this or willing to help out, give them my contact info and have them get ahold or me or let me know how I can get ahold of them.

As stated in the first paragraph the off-season is long, we will need lots of people to interview, don't be shy or think it's not for you. Show yourself as the true Carolina blue that runs in your veins.

Hope this idea gets you as excited about UNC Hoops as it does me, that you will join in and support this movement, and at the very least you will check out the premiere episode of "Get to know your Tar Heel...Fans" on Monday and share it with your Tar Heel friends and family!

Appreciate it and Go Heels!
