Tonite was crazy. Before entering this blog, I was able to watch the Wake Forest and Duke game and afterwards the North Carolina and Florida State game. It all began with the Demon Deacons coming out to a huge lead and dominating the Devils. Every shot that Duke threw up seemed to be thrown right back in their faces. Nothing was going right for the number 1 team in the country and myself and several other UNC students surely could not have been happier. Though in typical Duke fashion they stormed back in the closing minutes to give Wake Forest a run. Overtime seemed to be a lock after Gerald Henderson nailed a jump shot to tie the game. Yet the Demon Deacons weren't done. With just seconds left Johnson was found underneath the basket to lay the ball in and upset the number one Blue Devils. This made a the fourth team to lose the top ranking in the country this year and it made the ACC standings that much more interesting. Carolina fans surely, myself included, could not have been happier by Duke's shortcoming. The night wasn't over the Heels then had to face FSU who was hoping for a big upset. Even after a strong start and great defense the Seminoles still found themselves down by thirteen at home. Yet with their stellar defense and foul trouble on last year's player of the year, Tyler Hansbrough, FSU found a way back into the game. They eventually took a lead and Carolina looked as if they were headed for another terrible loss. Yet Danny Green changed things stealing a pass a midcourt finsihing with a lay-up and foul shot. The game was tied now and the Heels were back in business. After Douglas missed shot the Heels had around 3 seconds to attempt a game winning shot though it seemed imporbable due to a lack of time. Ty Lawson felt differently though racing down the court and draining a running three pointer as time exspired. The Heels had won and the echos could be heard all down the halls in Granville. UNC students left their rooms here in Granville and celebrated the big win. With Ty's shot the Heels survived disaster and kept their push alive to climb both the ACC and national rankings.

Besides the intense basketball games I've been noticing a change around campus. Students this semester are partying way less which does sound bad and it is, yet it does mean more work is going on most likely because of poor first semester grades or new resolves. I would think most would agree but maybe not. I myself certainly need to go out less and this semester I believe I'm doing a better job. I mean we are at UNC to perform in classrooms first and then worry about having fun later. Although I do miss the fun I had last semester. Hopefully it will pick up soon with the parties and social life just hopefullly not to much.
