REPORT: Lawson to declare, won’t hire agent
Fox Sport’s Jeff Goodman is reporting UNC guard Ty Lawson will enter the NBA Draft, but will not hire an agent.
Not hiring an agent means Lawson can go through the draft process, then pull his name out of the pool of available players and return to college. It’s a smart move to do so, since Lawson’s draft status is up in the air (most analysts will tell you that Lawson is a mid-to-late first-round pick). If things go well, and he feels he confident in his status, Lawson could hire an agent and start his professional career.
No word yet on Wayne Ellington or Tyler Hansbrough.

Tidbits from Wolfpack Club Caravan event
Members of N.C. State’s athletics program were in attendance Thursday at Benvenue Country Club, as part of the Wolfpack Club Caravan.
In addition to athletics director Lee Fowler, there was Wolfpack Club Executive Director Bobby Purcell, football coach Tom O’Brien, women’s golf coach Page Marsh and women’s tennis coach Hans Olsen.
Overall, it was what Fowler said he wanted - a positive night.
Marsh said the Benvenue golf course was “wonderful.” She also said the school’s new golf course would be open by Spring 2009.
O’Brien spoke for 15 consecutive minutes, which is the longest I have ever seen him speak without interruption. He broke down what led to the team’s 1-5 start, then each game afterward. He said the team has seen “addition by subtraction” and there “seems to be a greater sense of trust” among the team since the start of the spring semester.
“You could sense a different attitude,” O’Brien said.
As far as any news, there was little. He said that Mike Glennon, the team’s heralded quarterback recruit, will have a chance to win the job this fall but that he doesn’t know if Glennon is ready to compete. Do not read too much into that statement, because that if fairly typical O’Brien, always downplaying obvious positives.

UNC players spotted with agents
DISCLAIMER: Take this with the appropriate grain of salt. …
Former Daily Tar Heel sports editor Brandon Staton is reporting on his blog that UNC players Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson will leave college for the NBA.
He doesn’t back up the Ellington claim, but puts Lawson in a Durham-area Outback Steakhouse with an agent Thursday night.
Now, UNC did hold its athletic banquet Thursday night so Lawson was either at the restaurant before or after the banquet, or did not attend (very, very unlikely since he did “win” the award for most assists).

UNC to play at Ford Field
No word from North Carolina yet, but Clemson media relations just sent out an e-mail noting the 2008 ACC/Big Ten Challenge games.
The marquee matchup is North Carolina vs. Michigan State, at Ford Field in Detroit. That’s the home of the NFL’s Lions and is a massive facility (65,000 for football). The NCAA played a regional final there this season, on a raised court.
The Final Four will be played at Ford Field in 2009. The Tar Heels could get an advance look at the facility, and more importantly figure out how to shoot the basketball in a football stadium.
Duke will have to play an actual road game, as the Blue Devils will head to Purdue on Dec. 2. N.C. State is the odd team out, since the ACC has 12 teams and the Big Ten 11.
2008 ACC/Big Ten Challenge Schedule
Monday, Dec. 1
Wisconsin at Virginia Tech
Tuesday, Dec. 2
Ohio State at Miami
Clemson at Illinois
Duke at Purdue
Virginia at Minnesota
Iowa at Boston College
Wednesday, Dec. 3
Indiana at Wake Forest
Penn State at Georgia Tech
North Carolina vs. Michigan State (Ford Field, Detroit, MI)
Florida State at Northwestern
Michigan at Maryland

The sky is clear
At about 3 p.m. today, as I left the ol’ apartment, I was thinking we would not get tonight’s Carolina Mudcats game in. The rain was just pouring down from the skies and the lightning had caused several golfers to retreat to my building for shelter.
But somewhere the baseball gods have shined down on us, and the weather is actually quite nice at Five County Stadium. A strong breeze, to be sure, but it’s blowing out to straight center field (a home run hitter’s dream) and could create an offensive show.
On the mound for the Mudcats will be Rick Vanden Hurk, making his 2008 debut. Vanden Hurk was the No. 2 starter to begin last season (behind Gaby Hernandez, who is now in triple-A) and was a quick call-up to Florida. He bounced back and forth for most of the season, but made the Marlins rotation out of spring training. The plan changed when he was horrible in two starts, giving up 12 hits and seven runs in 5 1-3 innings.
We do have a pair of roster moves. Brett Hayes and Lee Mitchell have both been sent down to Carolina from triple-A Albuquerque, with second baseman Kevin Randel moving from the Mudcats to single-A Jupiter. First baseman Grant Psomas is headed to extended Spring Training. The move essentially means the parent organization is not sure where to put you, likely because of a lack of roster spots.
Tonight’s starting lineup: 1. Cameron Maybin (CF); 2. John Raynor (LF); 3. Chris Coghlan (2B); 4. Gaby Sanchez (1B); 5. Lee Mitchell (3B); 6. Alberto Concepcion (C); 7. Brad Davis (C); 8. Manuel Mayorson (SS); 9. Lorenzo Scott (RF).

Seven was enough for the Mudcats
Last night, in the home opener, the Carolina Mudcats scored seven runs. A solid amount, good enough to win most nights.
But that was the team’s highest run output this season. They scored six in game two against Mobile, and five runs twice.
Yet, the Mudcats are 4-2 — because of the starting pitching.
Ryan Tucker, a 6-foot-2 righthander, gets the start tonight. He’s been compared by some to Bartolo Colon and is another of the fearsome foursome of pitchers the Mudcats drafted in 2005.
I asked third baseman Gaby Sanchez about the pitching last night, namely how it affects the hitter’s approach.
Obviously, Sanchez said, you want to score as many runs as possible every night. But Sanchez, who played with the foursome last year in Jupiter, admitted it is reassuring to go the ballpark knowing three runs might be enough to get the win.
Anyways, here is today’s starting lineup: 1. John Raynor (LF); 2. Chris Coghlan (3B); 3. Cameron Maybin (CF); 4. Gaby Sanchez (DH); 5. Andrew Jenkins (1B); 6. Kris Harvey (RF); 7. Brad Davis (C); 8. Kevin Randel (2B); 9. Manuel Mayorson (SS).
Jenkins and Randel get the start tonight, in place of Lorenzo Scott and Grant Psomas. Coghlan moves over to third base, the position he played coming up.

Opening day at Five County Stadium
The Carolina Mudcats have already played five games, but we are minutes from the home opener.
The Mudcats took three of five from Mobile last week, and top prospect Chris Volstad is on the mound for the home team. He’ll be facing Jake McGee, the Montgomery Biscuts’ ace and also a top prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays system.
Tonight’s starting lineup: 1. John Raynor (LF); 2. Chris Coghlan (2B); 3. Cameron Maybin (CF); 4. Gaby Sanchez (3B); 5. Kris Harvey (RF); 6. Grant Psomas (1B); 7. Brad Davis (C); 8. Manuel Mayorson (SS); 40. Lorenzo Scott (DH).
That’s a dramatically different lineup than last year’s, which is good since Carolina was awful last season. Psomas is back, and so is Davis. But Lee Mitchell is up at triple-A, Dante Brinkley is in single-A and the absolutely awful Rex Rundgren is not with the Marlins organization.

UNC-Louisville pregame thoughts and notes
I’ve had plenty of time today to think. Since I am driving home after the game, I couldn’t just stick around the hotel. Instead, I ventured over to the huge outlet mall in Concord and read the Sports Illustrated baseball preview (outstanding, as always, by the way).
But I started thinking about this North Carolina in terms of other great teams I have seen first-hand since I entered this business.
— 2005-06 Duke basketball was obviously talented, but I just always had the feeling that it would never cross into championship status. There were too many holes and the Blue Devils never dominated teams.
— 2006-07 UNC basketball was too young and too emotionally immature to handle a tough game, which it eventually ran into with Georgetown.
— 2007 Rocky Mount High football (I know, this is a completely altogether different scale, but the Gryphons were a great team) just ran into an opponent that was too tough and too versatile.
— The 2005-06 Carolina Hurricanes were the most similar team to these Tar Heels. That group was absolutely focused from day one until game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, and never backed down from a challenge. There was also a confidence to the Hurricanes, where they didn’t think they were capable — they knew it.
The Tar Heels really do carry that bravado and swagger, yet back it up on the court. They’ve absolutely dominated these last three games, and show no signs of a tangible weakness (it’s outside shooting, maybe).
So what happens tonight?
UNC wins, 90-87. The Tar Heels are able to neutralize the Cardinals’ David Padgett, Wayne Ellington redeems himself for last year’s Elite Eight game and ol’ Roy bests slick Rick.

Friday notes
Just a few quick items from Friday’s press conferences and breakout sessions:
— Rick Pitino was asked about Tyler Hansbrough’s chances to succeed in the NBA. The Louisville coach has twice taken his chances in the NBA, and knows something about the league. He said Hansbrough would be successful, because teams are always on the lookout for “relentless” players.
— Speaking of the NBA and Pitino, UNC coach Roy Williams said Pitino might still be in the league, had the ping pong balls fallen differently. He’s referring to the 1997 NBA Draft lottery, when Boston had the best chance to win the No. 1 pick (and Tim Duncan) but instead picked No. 3 and 6. That’s true, but Boston did pick Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer. That’s two pretty solid picks, but Pitino couldn’t take advantage.
— At this point, everyone is confident. Everyone believes they can win the next three games. But you got the feeling Friday that Louisville may just be a little too happy to be here, if you know what I mean.
— Pitino and Williams have made peace, Williams said. The two had a run-in way back.

UNC-Washington State postgame thoughts/notes
That was a workmanlilke game from the Tar Heels, who advance to Saturday’s Elite Eight game (which, as of right now, has not been given an official air time (it will either be 6:30 or 9 p.m., if you trust the TV listings).
The 47 points Washington State scored were the least UNC has allowed in an NCAA Tournament game since Oklahoma A&M defeated the Tar Heels, 43-40, in the 1946 championship game. Suffice to say, that was before the advent of the shot clock.
A few notes, coming from the fine folks at UNC’s Sports Information Department.
— UNC has won eight straight Sweet 16 games, dating back to 1993.
— Tyler Hansbrough is now the highest scoring junior in ACC history. Dennis Scott, of Georgia Tech, previously held the record.
— For the 37th time this season, or every game UNC has played, Hansbrough scored in double figures. That’s a UNC record, previously held by Eric Montross (1993) and Antawn Jamison (1998).
— UNC is now 21-0 in games played away from the Smith Center.

UNC-Washington State halftime thoughts
— There were a total of 66 possessions in the first half, or 33 on each side. Dean Smith always looked at 100 for his team as a benchmark of offensive success, and Ol’ Roy has never deviated from that. So 33 in 20 minutes is a little off, but not too far. Blame it on Washington State’s slow-down offense.
— Tyler Hansbrough as looked average. He was called for traveling early on, the Cougars’ big men are doing a great job of coming down to double-team him and he’s generally been out of the flow of the game.
— Before the game, the UNC band played “Jump Around,” House of Pain’s seminal hit and the unofficial pre-game anthem at the Smith Center. Yes, Danny Green danced. Not quite as emphatically as at home, but it was hard to pick up the beat of the trombone.

UNC pregame thoughts
OK, so I am finally in Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
I say finally because the combination of foot traffic/car traffic/construction has created a FUBAR outside of the arena. There should be a law against building a downtown arena when your city does not rely on a major public transit system.
As you would expect, the city of Charlotte is collectively cheering on the North Carolina Tar Heels. Outside of a few fans of the other three schools, everyone is wearing Carolina Blue.
The big question, in my mind, for this game is whether or not Washington State is going to be intimidated. This is, after all, the Cougars’ first trip to the Sweet 16. Players said yesterday that a typical postgame press conference is a few cameras and a few guys on laptops.
There were 275 or so people credentialed for Raleigh, and there are more people than that here. The Cougars are a good team, bordering on great. But you never know what is going to happen in UNC jumps out to a 10-0 run, WSU coach Tony Bennett has to burn a timeout and Bobcats Arena explodes with UNC-fandom.
For a variety of reasons, mainly the fact that my seat on press row does not actually include a table, I will not be live-blogging this one. I’ll be back at halftime with a few thoughts.

Davidson stealing the show
Members of the Wildcats basketball team came out to watch some of North Carolina’s 51-26 halftime beating of Arkansas. What awaited the Wildcats was a standing ovation from the RBC Center crowd. Two rows behind my seat, Stephen Curry hugged his mother, father and other family members. Some players signed autographs. Rocky Mount Academy graduate Mike Schmitt walked up some steps in the crowd and waived to fans.
Pulling off the upset of the day and perhaps the tournament doesn’t get you all-access. Davidson players Thomas Sander, Jason Richards and Stephen Rossiter decided to sit in the first row of seats that have been reserved for some media members. Even though there were a number of open seats, a security guard asked the three to move to seats behind the basket with the rest of their teammates. “That’s Jason Richards and Thomas Sander!” a Davidson fan told the security guard, obviously baffled that the players did not have freedom to choose their seats. The players walked over and sat with the rest of their teammates and watched the drubbing the Tar Heels are putting on the Razorbacks.
Speaking of the Tar Heels, Deon Thompson is looking good. He is 5-for-5 and has scored 10 points in the first half. The Tar Heels need a challenge. Doesn’t look like that will happen today.
The RBC Center videoboard often has trivia questions during timeouts of the games. During the first half they had a “Guess the school fight song” trivia. Playing loud above North Carolina coach Roy Williams’ huddle was the Kansas fight song. Bet he knew the answer. He might as well have answered it himself. This team can coach itself to the final 20 minutes of this victory-to-be.

Davidson-Georgetown postgame observations
Wow. Amazing. What can you say? Stephen Curry scored 25 points in the second half to lead Davidson to a 74-70 upset of No. 2 Georgetown. Davidson is in the Sweet 16. Guess you can’t keep a good shooter down for long. Curry finished 8 of 21 from the field.
Curry’s father, Dell, was sitting two rows directly behind me. Dell Curry made some big shots in his NBA career but his son’s accomplishment is amazing. Georgetown looked as if they had Davdson under control. They led by 17 points with 17:52 remaining in the contest.
Curry made his last five field goal attempts and iced the game at the free-throw line.
-Former Rocky Mount Academy standout Mike Schmitt’s parents are in attendance. They watched as their son - a Davidson walk-on - celebrated on the court with his teammates. I went over to David Schmitt after the game and he asked me, “Can you believe this.” His wife, Misty, sang “Sweet Caroline” with the rest of the Davidson fan base as the school celebrated another NCAA Tournament victory. Georgetown has been to five Final Fours. It will be at least another season before they return.

Davidson-Georgetown observations
- I’m normally not starstruck. My favorite New York Knick and perhaps basketball player of alltime, Patrick Ewing, is in the audience to see his son, Patrick Ewing Jr. play for Georgetown. I had a lifesize poster of Ewing (he stands at seven feet tall - I’m only 5-foot-6) in my room when I lived in Queens, New York. I interviewed him when he was an assistant coach for the Washington Wizards. I was in college then and the Wizards had training camp at UNCW. Doc Rivers, coach of the Boston Celtics is here too. His son Jeremiah is a sophomore guard for the Hoyas.
_ Georgetown 38, Davidson 27 at halftime. The Hoyas are doing a great job of defending sweet-shooting guard Stephen Curry. Curry is only 2-for-8 for five points. Rivers and Jessie Sappa have been guarding Curry the most in the first half. Curry missed his first four shots. The first two - both 3-point attempts - were halfway down, but rimmed out. He scored his first two points on a floater 10 minutes into the game. He did not score again until he knocked down a 3-pointer with less than a minute remaining in the half for the final points of the opening half.
Curry is not the only star having a sub-par outing. Georgetown’s 7-foot-2 center, Roy Hibbert has two points in only five minutes of action. He earned two quick fouls and watched the majority of the first half from the bench. Backup Vernon Macklin has performed well in Hibbert’s absence. Macklin has a team-high eight points in 13 minutes.
If Curry does not get going soon, the Wildcats will be in trouble. They have few scoring options in the post. The Hoyas’ are winning the battle physically. Their 66 percent shooting in the first half also shows their ability to put the ball in the basket.
Beating the Hoyas is going to be a tough task for anybody in this tournament.
Other observations: Hibbert received a cold reception from the RBC Center crowd during the introduction of the starting lineups. Wanna guess why? The partisan North Carolina crowd doesn’t seem to have forgotten last year’s loss to Georgetown. The crowd cheered Hibbert’s second foul with enthusiasm.
Who has the edge in cheerleaders? We’re not going by looks. The edge goes to Davidson. Their cheerleaders are louder. I’m sitting right in front of Davidson’s section and at one point someone yelled during the Hoyas’ performance during a timeout “We can’t here you.” Then the Hoyas cheerleaders made a bigger mistake. They left the letter ‘A’ on the court after they were done with the performance. A referee noticed and gave the ‘A’ to the Davidson cheerleaders. Oops.

Woody Durham will not attend local golf tournament
Cell phone service is spotty in the RBC Center’s media room. I went up to the first level Saturday afternoon to use my phone and the voice of the North Carolina Tar Heels, Woody Durham, was walking off an elevator. I asked him what he knew about next month’s celebrity golf tournament at Northgreen Country Club.
Durham said that he had been invited, but will not be able to attend because of a Rams Club meeting he is committed to attending. He did thank me for asking about it and seemed genuine in his interest in the tournament. Guess the tournament just falls on the wrong day.

Roy Williams on Duke’s near-upset
UNC coach Roy Williams was not watching Duke and Belmont play down to the wire on Thursday night. He was in the other room, watching his first-round opponent, Mount St. Mary’s, take on Sacred Heart in the Northeast Conference finals. He walked into the other room just in time to see Belmont’s final shot miss, and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and Belmont coach Rick Byrd shake hands. “That’s the only play I saw,” Williams said.

UNC-Mount St. Mary’s live blog
9:09: Wow. Surry Wood.
8:55: Do the fans get biscuits if the game is on a neutral court?
It’s long been a UNC tradition that if the Tar Heels score 100 in the Smith Center, biscuits are discounted the next day at Bojangle’s. It usually happens in the final moments (2006-07 walk-on Dewey Burke was nicknamed Biscuits for how many times he hit the lucky shot).
Well, UNC is up 101-58 with 4:39 remaining. This is ugly.
And the walk-ons are on the court. This may be a new Roy Williams record for quickest exit of all scholarship players.
8:40 p.m.: UNC continues to push the temp and is now up 86-52.
What has to be encouraging for Tar Heels coach Roy Williams is that his team is not letting up. This is a classic scenario where an unmotivated team could sleepwalk through the second half, and shrug its shoulder at every turnover and wasted offensive possession.
But Danny Green made a bad pass, then came up with a loose ball the next time down court. In a 30-point game, the extra two points mean little. But it means alot when you consider how far this North Carolina team can go.
8:29 p.m.: Let’s just pretend Marcus Ginyard did not miss that dunk.
He’s a good kid, and lord knows I could not dunk the ball, running, flat-footed or perhaps even on a trampoline. My main basketball move consists of posting up someone a good four-six inches shorter than me and making a four-footer.
Yeah, that didn’t happen.
8:21 p.m.: Fifty-five seconds into the second half, and a 6-0 run forces Mount St. Mary’s to burn a timeout.
I suppose this would be as good a time as any to talk about the possiblity of the presidential candidates playing a round of golf in Rocky Mount. If Michael Jordan and Woody Durham do indeed show up, would they support a candidate? And, if so, should the other candidate even bother continuing to campaign in the state of North Carolina?
People around the country will look at it and laugh, but sowing up the UNC endorsement could really go a long ways towards becoming our next president.
I cannot believe I just typed those words.
8:07 p.m.: This is when CBS carefully and slowly changes the broadcast to other games.
UNC is up 60-41, is shooting 57.9 percent and has 27 rebounds. Mount St. Mary’s has nine.
Tyler Hansbrough has 17, Wayne Ellington 12 and Ty Lawson is running third with 11. The three-headed power forward of Deon Thompson, Alex Stepheson and Danny Green has combined for 15 points and 16 rebounds.
8 p.m.: Mount St. Mary’s said they wanted to run. Well, it is.
The Tar Heels have come out firing, with the gas pedal to the floor. The Mountaineers are heaving, and are not getting the same lift on their jump shots that they were early.
It’s 60-41 UNC, but it’s a deceiving 41. The pace of the game is so fast that it just leads to more possessions and, thus, a higher score.
7:40 p.m.: UNC is up 39-27 with 7:13 left in the first half.
Behind me, section 105 is going wild. The lower level section is full of folks from Mount St. Mary’s, and they’ve made more noise than the UNC fans so far. That’s probably because UNC fully expects to have another five games in this NCAA Tournament.
7:29 p.m.: What we’re seeing right now (UNC is up 24-15 with 10:36 left in the half) is an obvious difference in athleticism.
UNC coach Roy Williams recruits the best athletes he can find, because they are suited to run his up-tempo, breakneck game.
Mount St. Mary’s is trying to keep up, it really is, but that’s easier said than done. As this game wears on, UNC is going to pick up steam and open up a sizable margin. Once again, that’s your completely obvious analysis.
7:20 p.m.: UNC has scored on eight of its first 10 possessions, and own a 17-12 lead at the first television timeout.
Good news, Mom — I was able to avoid eating meat. The good people in catering provided a fried fish option to go with the fried chicken and BBQ. The fish was pretty good, too.
7:06 p.m.: The RBC Center is back at capacity for the second session, and it is full of Carolina Blue. It is a little jarring to see all these UNC fans sitting in N.C. State’s home arena, but I am sure that feeling will pass.
Stuart Scott, the ESPN anchor and UNC alum, was on the court right before gametime. He was standing with the assistant coaches for so long that the officials came over to shake his hand too. He and point guard Ty Lawson pointed at each other, and Stuart finally went to his seat.

Georgetown-UMBC second-half live blog
5:04: Georgetown has been far from great, but is pulling away from UMBC. Patrick Ewing Jr. with the nice dunk to make it 66-47, and he was able to gaze at rows and rows of empty seats.
4:42: Jay Greene’s two 3-pointers have the Retrievers within 15.
Which is funny, since that’s about how old Greene looks.
4:36: Not to get all Sports Guy on you and assume you all care about my NCAA Tournament bracket, but I am doing very well. I had Western Kentucky, Davidson and Miami.
What kind of shape is your bracket in?
4:19: Watching 5-foot-8 Jay Greene of UMBC stand next to 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert of Georgetown on the free-throw line made me giggle.
He’s so little — Greene, that is.
4:13: Both teams are warming up for the second half, with the Hoyas up 34-22.
The Currys are still hanging out in section 102, but most of the rest of the Davidson fans are somewhere else, presumably celebrating.
I never had an opportunity yesterday, during practice and interview sessions, to ask, but I wanted to question some of the UMBC guys as to whether or not they watch the HBO show, The Wire. It’s set in Baltimore, and does an excellent job of breaking down the destruction of a once-great American city.

Trivia question No. 2
It only seems appropiate that we can continue with the Stephen Curry line of questioning. The Davidson guard scored 40 points in the first game. But who holds the all-time record for points in a first or second-round game? Winner receives the 2008 official NCAA men’s Final Four record book. This glossy media guide is 255 large pages, containing just about every fact and figure you could ever want. My favorite feature is every bracket since the beginning, 1939 of the tournament.
