For all the doubters, North Carolina showed why they are the greatest school in the history of college basketball.
With their backs most definately against the wall -- facing the possibility of wearing the visitor's jersey in the ACC tournament play-in game -- the courageous 2002 Tar Heels flahed their long-domant muscle today, thumping perennial conference powerhouse Florida State at the Dean Dome before hundreds of not-so-beaten-down-looking fans.
Point guard Adam Boone proved why he is widely considered to be the favorite for this year's Naismith Award, blistering the unlucky Seminoles for a career-high 27 points. It was an applause-worthy performance that did not go unnoticed by Head Heel, Matt Doherty. "I almost didn't notice that Adam was scoring all those points," said the greying Alfred E. Neuman.
"You just don't put on the uniform and go out and beat any Steve Robinson team," added a giddy Boone. "It just doesn't happen without a lot of preparation, hard work and luck. Today we were damn lucky!"
Robinson said that his sub-.500 Seminoles would leave Chapel Hill with their heads held high. "That's a hell of a ballclub over there. I don't know why everyone keeps knocking them. It's not like that team is 7-16 or anything."
When a reporter told Robinson that today's victory was, indeed, just the seventh of the season for the Tar Heels, he added, "Oh. Damn. I should probably be fired then."
Monte Cummings scored a bunch of points for 10-13 FSU while Kris Lang continued to look goofy for the Tar Heels.
