"It's definitely louder than I'm used to," he said (Inside Carolina)

UNC basketball's Drake Powell wows Tar Heels with Michael Jordan-like block vs American

As American guard Colin Smalls drove toward the basket for a layup, Drake Powell jumped off two feet, snatched the ball out of the air with two hands before it got to the rim, and cleared Small’s body before he landed on the court. “I’ve never seen that in my life, in person,” Seth Trimble said. “I don’t even think I’ve seen that on TV. Yeah, he’s different.” (Fayetteville Observer)

North Carolina vs. American Postgame Quotes

Hubert Davis on R.J. Davis: "I told RJ, you just continue to be the player that you have been over the past four years, and everything will take care of itself. I thought he was the key to the game in the second half. I thought his leadership in the locker room at half time was the number one key in getting everyone excited to play a better second half."

Davis-to-Davis: Conversation of a Shared Experience

One of the benefits of having a coach who was All-ACC and played in the NBA for 12 years is he shares many of the same experiences his players are going through. So, North Carolina Coach Hubert Davis called on what he learned early in his senior season in 1991, and used it to help R.J. Davis, who has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season. (Tar Heel Illustrated)

Lucas: The Gift

Elliot Cadeau was +38 on Friday. He's +71 for the season, which means when he is on the bench, UNC is being outscored by eight points through three games. Put him on the court, and the Tar Heels are potent. Take him away, and their game completely changes. That's a little scary, but it's also the mark of a great point guard, which is what he's becoming. (GoHeels.com)
