Muffin Press Pass: UNC vs. UVA - PRE-GAME

--The pre-game media meal was catered in by Bojangle's. I enjoyed 4 chicken supreme strips, pinto beans, a biscuit and a cup filled to the brim of Bojangle's famous Sweet Tea. Most people at the pre-game media meal are with a group, and they sit with their group. I however, come alone representing WCHL. It's just like an elementary school cafeteria. People look at you like you have two heads if you try to sit at THEIR table. It makes me want to puke. Eventually, somebody is going to catch me at the wrong time with their stink-eye, and I'm going to throw Cajun Filet sauce right in their face.

--2:40 pm -Women's head coach Sylvia Hatchell is currently holding a press conference right now in the media room. She's addressing the upcoming Duke/Carolina game and insists that they are focused and ready. Coach Hatchell is a brilliant coach and fantastic person, so hopefully the squad doesn't choke against Duke. She also wanted to "pass along congratulations to Coach Pat Summit on her 1,000th win."

--3:44 pm: Miami just pushed Duke to overtime, but it looks they’re going to fold. Everyone in the media room has given up hope and made their way out onto the court for the Heels game. The Dean Dome has a different look during day games. Without a doubt, the lighting is better during the day with the canopy roof they have. It would be awesome if the Dean Dome had a retractable roof, especially on a day like today when it’s like 70 degrees outside. Unbelievable.

--Today's matchup: As we all know, Virginia poses an extremely minimal threat to North Carolina due to their inexperienced backcourt and inefficient frontcourt...Announcement: Dean Smith is at the Dean Dome today! He's sitting right behind the basket and the student risers section. I'm glad he showed up, because there's nothing else to really say about Dave Leitao's Cavaliers. The Heels just have to challenge themselves to play better defense. Tip off in 5 minutes.
