Full Game: Stephen Curry and Davidson vs #1 North Carolina | Nov 14, 2007

earlier this evening most of the student body at Davidson College loaded buses to make the 20-mile drive into downtown Charlotte North Carolina for tonight's game between the Wildcats and the number one team in the country the North Carolina Tar Heels are ready to get their season underway [Music] [Applause] welcome everyone to Charlotte Bobcat Serena the home of the NBA Charlotte Bobcats and tonight the home of college basketball action a terrific early season matchup between the North Carolina Tar Heels winners of 31 games last year and the Davidson Wildcats they won a School record 29. hello everybody and welcome Sean McDonough along with Jay Phillis and Bill rathry moderately happy to be back with these two guys as we get another season of college basketball but very excited about this matchup tonight North Carolina Jay was one of the best teams in the country last year went to Elite eight lost a Georgetown in heartbreaking fashion and they have a lot of talent back yeah they really have everything they've got a great transition game they've got a star inside and Tyler hansrow and they've got high level experience the question is are they going to be able to shoot the ball well enough from the perimeter to take the pressure off hands throwing the paint Tyler hansrow reminds me a lot of Jays his rebounding his aggressive play but that's where it stops this kid's got a great offensive array of talents inside outside he's faced on shooting the jump shot but I think the outside game is the important part this year as they progress towards their goal the NCAA title and they knock shots there and he's offensive not very much so on a daily basis the hands were all part of our star watch and he has been getting a lot of attention both off and on the court [Applause] well Hasbro is just quite frankly the player with the most will in the nation last year he broke his nose in the last game of the season in that collision with Gerald Henderson of Duke in this game against Michigan State took it off at 33 points after who was that mask man well Stephen Curry a guy doesn't wear a mask and they better identify where he is he could kill it from deep and put it on the deck as well Sean Hansbrough the preseason ACC Player of the Year and Stephen Curry of the preseason Southern Conference Player of the Year Hansbrough joined in the North Carolina starting lineup by Ty Lawson the returning point guard Wayne Ellington Marcus ginyard the outstanding Defender and Dion Thompson just steps into the spot previously occupied by Brandon right now in the NBA after one year at Carolina for Davidson Jason Richards one of the best point guards in the nation he was second in the country and assists last year with curry Max paulus Gosselin Thomas sander and Boris meno for the rest of the starting five for the Wildcats near capacity crowd they were only a couple of 100 tickets left this morning they're expected to sell their receipt prior to game time Mike Woods Elton Steed Gary Maxwell the officials and Carolina in the blue on the tip the winner rights again with the first bucket of the year for the Tar Heels it looks so McDonough and Jay Miller's the tires are going a minute what great anticipation by ginyard who has now taken Stephen Curry a great defender and he'll have a tremendous challenge because Curry can really score both teams like to play quickly and we expect an up and down Affair Thomas sander the senior from Cincinnati with the Davidson bucket you will see maybe the most fundamentally sound team in Davidson they are solid Vineyard missed a contested floater came down to the hands of Boris minnow Al Richards only Jared Jordan the Marist of more assists in the country last year the three win goal from the corner for paulus Gosselin or what a fight this is going to be between Thomas sander and Tyler hanswell sander perhaps the toughest player physically in the Southern Conference Lawson's Miss rebounded by minnow now Richard's a senior from Barrington Illinois nice and Minnows shot was deflected and it came down to Tyler Hansbrough Sean the key I think is Lawson and his penetration because they keep him outside and then find people on the wing out of bounds to North Carolina last Touch by Curry Roy Williams in his Fifth Season as head coach at his alma mater inducted in the Hall of Fame in September he said that still hasn't sunk in more than 20 former players on hand in Springfield Massachusetts to watch the coaches very emotional and moving induction speech all right very impressive credentials obviously and loves his kids no question about it won more games in 19 years as a head coach than any coach in the history of college basketball Stephen Curry called for the foul Roy now 57 years old beginning his 35th year in coaching five years as a high school coach 10 is an assistant at Carolina and now in his 20th years ahead coach after 15 at Kansas just fifth at North Carolina here's the lob back screen and there's the power a lot of little on big screens being set by North Carolina trying to get Davidson to switch get mismatches nobody communicated for the Wildcats first bucket of the year for hands bro puts Carolina back on top minnow didn't get the bounce Dion Thompson kept it alive for hansbrook Bob McKillip the Davidson coach said his team will run with Carolina even though Carolina likes to play at lightning speed his team likes to run too he said we're not going to lock it up tonight we're playing for tonight but we're also playing for the rest of the year as well McKillip the winningest coach in Davidson history and they've had some terrific coaches there like Lefty drizelle and Terry Holland and his best years have been the recent ones 20 wins or more in each of the last three and they gave Maryland all they could handle last year in the NCAA impressive credentials as well great High School coach has paid his dues done a wonderful job at Davidson he's got a great system wants his team to get a patient flow offensively doesn't want him to turn down opportunities they run a lot of sets a lot of motion and this is a very well drilled team Curry's got to keep busy Oh What A Move by Miller and then he was fouled by Ellington see that's what you call clever with the ball there's no question that Lawson is quicker he's a better athlete but Richard is clever he knows how to play a great fake to open that up and he's so strong to finish with the contact you don't see a lot of point guards finishing that strong and what sets it up is their ability to shoot so they jump at you with not the quickest dribble penetration or blow by but just the defense has to be honest deep and they take advantage of any overreaction you make defensively guys with gray hair usually know what they're doing like Roy Williams coach McKillip 57 years old Davidson with a one-point lead Lawson has two fouls now Roy Williams has left him in the game you saw Will arshambo who's come in for Davidson and excellent outside shooter number 22. when arsenbo will shoot it from deep and he will keep shooting with no conscience [Applause] and they're doing a nice job writing him in pinching him and then the big guys are stepping up that's key when you play Carolina well North Carolina trying to force it right now everything off one dribble one pass now Roy was saying they're not where he wants him to be yet after the two games two exhibition games they haven't played a regular season game yet Davidson is 1-0 they beat division three Emery 120-56 Roy Williams right now not satisfied with the explanation he got on Lawson's second foul Gary Maxwell saying that Lawson got the foul for pushing in the back they have posted two fouls on the scoreboard and announced two fouls now we're told that they have changed that the table Lawson has only one but he is out of the game and Clinton Thomas is in for North Carolina number 11. their only scholarship senior and he's quickly called for a foul as he was riding the hip of Jason Richards on a cut notice how they attack defensively Carolina and they get right up they know they're an outside shooting team they're gonna force them to put it on the deck they feel they can move the puppies and get in position I have to watch Curry off the imbalance he's gonna reach screens they're going to run some nice stuff for him too [Applause] Andrew lovedale has also come off for bench carries an elbow jumper he's a junior from Nigeria one of six foreign players on this Davidson roster and that shot is a bonus because lovedale's role is to rebound run and defend but if he can come in and make an open shot to force Dion Thompson to really guard him take his attention off of helping that's going to be big one for 12 from three last year he's not a deep threat smart getting to the Elbow but that deal just called for the foul his first and the second on Davidson the Wildcats lead by three three and a half minutes gone by which very good communication North Carolina hasn't been able to run any offense it's unrecognizable right now and that Glendale gets tall they got an offensive foul or I thought he was in good position away from the ball Alex Stephenson called for the foul sophomore from Los Angeles and Off the Bench called for his first this is just the start that Davidson wanted to get off to stay in contact Sanders setting up on a low block against Stephenson and the jump hook a little too strong there comes Thomas from Oakland California out of Oakland Tech he's the only scholarship senior they don't have the scholarship true freshman so much talent coming back open missed his first three-point try in the rebound down to Ellington wearing a new number this year he was number two last year but switched to 22 after West Miller graduated and left that number behind that's the first bucket of the night for Ellington a smart play by Ellington probing coming down didn't go too fast just let everything open up in their secondary break your perimeter people really can handle Jay [Applause] Canadian from Quebec missed that Runner a little too strong nice hesitation huh well Ellington is a streaky shooter missed the pull-up Richards the push [Applause] [Music] [Applause] look they got to get him on the board Davidson just three out of ten but leading seven to six nice help Terry who's an underappreciated Defender according to coach McKillip is the shot he gets that shot off quickly most people might think that's a bad shot but for Stephen Curry it is not in the jeans the quick release dansbro has six rebounds already missed from the top of the key Stevenson was saying around the floor and Stevenson fouled [Music] look at the beautiful Campus of Davidson College on 450 acres about 20 miles north of downtown Charlotte only 1700 students famous alums the former White House Press Secretary Tony snow and the noted crime and fiction writer Patricia Cornwell 1700 students they tell us about 1100 of those students bought tickets for the game tonight you can see how many of them are here behind the basket to our left and they have about two to three hundred other students are overseas right now so almost all of the students who are on the campus bought tickets to come to the game here tonight well very passionate student body and I actually dropped off a friend's kid at school for freshman orientation you know that they at Davidson as a freshman you get your laundry done for you as part of your student fee pretty good deal it's a nice check for you for your laundry though that's your pay yeah what it works out to about a thousand dollars a load I think well Stevenson missed the first free throw and the second and the rebound down to Boris minnow Davidson's campus they're able to trouble most of us that we were in college is this too wrinkly and smelly to wear tonight that's still Bill's problem that's your first semester same outfit shot never got up to the rim the Davidson folks bought he was fouled now we're told that the scores Table after review they have determined that Lawson does have Doom files and the official stats screen they change it to one and they put it back to two nice job by Thomas should come into replace him anytime you get to guard that lane and they create it can be damaging Jason Richards all the way to the bucket two minutes ago it looked like it might have been tipped by Danny Green who's come in for Carolina but it still went through five points for the point guard another great stream inside Meadowood effective double to block the pass from Thompson Bobby Fraser just off the bench lost the handle so far in this ball game Thompson has not done a very good job of handling the double team but using the high screen Jason Richards very good start and stop ability he changes Pace changes Direction plays with great Tempo a young man are at the point guard position really understands the game and has a very low error rate that's what you want from your leader on the floor and Maino really did a great job sealing his guy Jay a little guy get to the tent Richard's at 249 assist last year 7.3 per game his first team all Southern Conference the league Davidson one with a record of 17-1 the conference record for wins in a season they had a 16-0 conference here a couple of years ago in the league added some Elite games Danny greenham miss hansbro another rebound his seventh and he earned a trip to the free-throw line where he lived last year he shot 315 free throws last year in 38 games sander called for the foul is first in the team's fourth and Tyler shot 77 percent from the line last year he inflicts punishment he actually attacked the defender on that rebound he gave a shot to sander in there I mean it takes a lot of cuts for sander to stay in there because when Hansbrough goes to the basket he may take you with him I wonder if the thumb injury is bothering hands bro he had a jam rate come in their last exhibition game five days ago against Lenore Ryan did not play the last 13 and a half minutes of that game boy Perry way off and they've been a nice play that screened down the old Americas play to get him to look Barry has not made a field goal yet Richard's the miss but Davidson leads 9-6 they haven't shot well but Carolina's turned it over six times Davidson is not committed a turnover a nice back screen by Thomas you know it's crazy Sean they worked through that play all day yesterday and still couldn't control it not a good look here the first Dave it's in turnover as Richards threw it away Carolina runs their secondary break after a make after a Miss they are going to run it and run it and run it they're relentlessly consistent [Applause] and Roy Williams he doesn't mind a quick shot now and again because he wants to ratchet up the possessions in the game if they get this game going at a high speed in the high Tempo they feel like they're going to score more points and wear you out and foul you out action Lynn Thomas winning a lot of minutes with Lawson on the bench with two fouls Fraser amiss and the rebound down to Middle Stephen Rossiter is in the game for Davidson number 23 and Bryant Barr an excellent outside shooter coach McKillip calls him a marksman is in number 24. there he is [Applause] plenty of room to work meno not afraid of hands bro they do just such a nice job it's all ISO because of the ability to drill deep Carolina not helping down they don't want to allow any openings for three-point shooters Sean McDonough J Bellis built raftery back in Charlotte the number one team in the nation North Carolina beginning of season with Davidson most of the preseason Publications at Carolina number one for the sixth time in school history preseason so much talent coming back Roy Williams didn't feel the need to bring in a freshman this year it should make the minutes easier to find for the others to return the first coach Williams now a Hall of Famer inducted in September in the name Smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield Massachusetts Dean Smith and Larry Brown presented him as you both know and deep tradition here there's old Dino one of the truly great minds innovators wouldn't you say in the game no questions being a great coach no question 23 of his former players came to Springfield to watch him get inducted it was a just a great night North Carolina yeah last year with that five some of freshmen 43 of their scoring all of them back so no need to bring in a freshman this year first time in Roy's career he hasn't had an incoming scholarship freshman in the Carolina folks went back as far as they could with their rosters never found a year where they didn't have at least one scholarship freshman Ellington gets the bucket one of those freshmen of the year ago now a sophomore from Wynwood Pennsylvania [Applause] and Richards bumped by ginyard their best defender a little nickel dimer deep on the floor Curry's gonna have to work hard they're doing a great job they're alternating bodies on them Vineyard is packed on him Frazier had him a little bit yeah they just picked up there and transitioned a little bit after the made field goal but it's going to be very difficult to get open Against The Defender as good as Marcus ginyard but it's not like Stephen Curry hasn't faced great Defenders last year he put 30 on DJ strawberry in the NCAA tournament he knows how to get open and he doesn't Force too many shots there is over three from the floor so far here he is guarded by ginyard harshambo has missed a couple that's important for him because coach McKillip says he has a lot of talent but he tends to get down on himself if it doesn't go well early not only has talent he's got a great deal of athletic ability what a bad passenger then turned it back over as he was stuck on the floor Curry gonna get one to go no no first clean look he's had he's got to keep screening as well he scored 21 and a half per game last year and it was an offensive foul and that's on Lawson so there was the controversy about how many he had they determined he did have two and now he has three not a very smart play by Taiwan Lawson coming down in transition just leaning in with that right shoulder and that was an obvious call for the official to make and Jason Richards the senior did a really nice job of selling it lost some likely on the bench for the rest of the half at least more than pretty half of the half to play Curry it was contested by Thompson and Hell ball between the two All-American candidates Hansbrough is an All-American Curry May well be sometime in the next couple of years most teams he would have had a layup but the great help side defense responded [Applause] only Kevin Durant scored more among freshmen in the country last year than Curry's 21 and a half per game and curry made 122 threes in NCAA freshman record he has one here tonight made five in their opening win over Emery they've scored that a deep two So it's 15 to 10. well how fast was that release and North Carolina just getting the ball down towards quickly and into hansborough who seals off about four seconds on the clock and there's a little smell changes well by Thomas on the penetration look how quickly he gets it off but I I just love how he uses Tuesday to get that catch [Applause] yeah and did a great job of staying down after he caught the ball initially that is one quick trigger talk about getting the ball up Court quickly how quickly did Richards get the ball up for it after hand throws made field goal they both have the same idea Concepts I'm gonna push it up you get a good quick look fine if not we'll run our stuff and this kid's a great organizer Richard's an excellent free throw shooter 81 last year fourth in the Southern Conference look at this a turnover to Richards and it barely stays alive for curry he almost turned it back over great look and a nice look underneath as well to Sanders good pass from paulus Gosselin four points for Sanders who is second team all-conference last year and North Carolina has been sloppy that was a sloppy play by Tyler Hansbrough you don't often see that from him they've come to double him on the Block and he got shoved Davidson fans thought he walked up on sander the double coming post to post from the high side and Hansbrough just turns Baseline and attacks sander but that double has been effective more effective when it goes at Dion Thompson but Hansbrough did a good job of handling it sander to the bench with two fouls six team fouls against Davidson so the next one puts the Wildcats over the limit they're up by seven 9 18 to go first half here in downtown Charlotte they're doing a great job in the post-up area now he goes outside and just a little overzealous I backed off him a little bit out there I would too I was just going to say you can't take the bait out there because he's trying to get you into a physical confrontation 17 feet from the basket now a handful can make that shot he can also make that drive but I'd rather have him do that then lock you down the post absolutely Sean how about Dave the busher type of player maybe not the outside shooting of The Pusher but the physically imposing play I don't remember him but either way before myself [Applause] George Yardley on his neck two three throws by hands bro the fouling roster was his first and now Carolina brings impression causes the turnover Richards forced into a walk with the pressure from Danny Green in the backcourt I don't think he lifted the pivot foot it looked more like the front foot took the step and it comes to Ellington along the Baseline and it's a three-point game six points for Wayne Ellington well he uses that dribble effectively in his great body control they have to have him shoot well he is their best shooter and a guy that's got to get on track from the perimeter he has not shot the ball well in this young season Richard's got rid of it to paulus Gosselin he's from Quebec the high school team at a barcian ball good ball movement then an air ball Fired Up by Richards no vision on the ball by Carolina and Davidson is more physical than they get credit for they pump you [Applause] appraiser bothered by a stress fracture in his foot last year the Cosman missed 10 games haynesboro the tough shot eight points and eight rebounds great ball reversal they fell asleep on the shape up and absorbed the bump there as well Rossiter kept his hands up but was trying to nudge him underneath Carolina down seven a moment ago and then one in their crowd is into it looks like almost half the house wearing Carolina blue they played here in Charlotte to open last year a couple of games against Sacred Heart and Winthrop in the preseason nit both of them victories shot clock at five and it's back home by Stephen Curry what a hunch up little kiss by girls kid showing a fist he wants out but Roy Williams turned away he didn't see it and they got the small change under the basket by love there Man Hands bro legit but breather during the media timeout as we're about to go to Milan after the second foul on Andrew love Dale you'll notice one of the great Carolina big men in the house Sean May part of their National Championship team in 2005 now with the Charlotte Bobcats out after micro fracture surgery that's become the trend unfortunately in the NBA yeah it's been difficult he's had some really bad luck in the NBA with injuries you know Roy was telling me today that uh the press conference between before the final game they asked him what he was going to do if they won he said that I'm going to hug my coach when we win the NCAA Championship it's a pretty good relationship and he's finishing school as well [Music] his former coach 10 points now for hands really is a chance for a double double here in the first half he averaged 18 and a half and eight rebounds per game last year but he's very happy with his decision to come back for another year in college basketball largely because he wants another shot at the NCAA title Carolina was crushed with the way it's season ended a year ago they've had a 10-point lead with six minutes to go in the elite eight game against Georgetown missed 22 of its last 23 shots lost in overtime and used that loss as a major motivator throughout the off-season Richards for three green the rebound and now Ellington in transition off a nice feed ahead from Bobby Fraser absolutely great look on time on the money and then the crossover step and that's Carolina basketball everybody running on the primary break but you talk about the secondary break but the primary break is what Roy Williams wants to see now Curry resting a little small change yeah sure was first one I believe for Richards I don't want to get him that ball out quickly and Bobby Fraser looking up court and nice move with the ball by Ellington to protect it and still finish [Applause] Richard's foul is first the team's ninth so this will be the last one and one of the half Stephen Curry said of course shooting hassle returns along with Steven Rossiter Brian Barr goes out there's a very important period in the ball game for Davidson Carolina's turned the ball over nine times up to this point but now you can feel the Tar Heels getting some rhythm and then fatigue 2 Jay part of it no question Carolina was down seven at up two as the first one went in for hands bro he is Relentless as tenacious as anybody in college basketball phenomenal dedication to physical fitness and probably Roy Williams today said that's really what makes Hans real special to discipline the work ethic and the great competitive spirits just tough smart aggressive ferocious competitive Wallace gossin shot was a line drive that barely got up to the rim and now Hansberry has his Double-Double here in the first half with his 10th rebound Bobby Frazier doing a nice job of running the team from the point guards position at that mysterious foot injury last year that took him out of play then to say that's another reason why hands will come back the NBA folks would like to see him improve that face up offensive game a little bit away from the basket Bob mckillips Wildcats 29 wins a year ago it was a terrific year but like North Carolina Davidson has used its season ending loss as motivation they LED Maryland in the second half of their first round NCAA game by eight points with 17 minutes to go led by a play with another 10 minutes to go saw it slip away the players went to coach mckilliff and said we need more of those kind of games on our schedule next year and the coaches loaded up the schedule including this match up with North Carolina he's on Broadway is that what he told you yes he's a native New Yorker he likes to make a lot of Broadway references so we're not off Broadway anymore we're in the spotlight six points for curry and a quick response by Ellington boy it's tough they've got to get out and denying the wing otherwise they're going to jam it up the sideline Carolina just keeps coming at you and at you and it's like a body blow in a fight sooner or later it's going to wear you down like that SpongeBob gardner-web is fun to watch they know how to play their Coach Rick Scruggs a couple years ago Dick Vitale was talking about somebody scheduling they're only playing cupcakes and he mentioned Gardner-Webb and Rick Scruggs sent him 100 frosted cupcakes which he had then sold I heard you gotta be a lot of Dion Thompson trying to load up they called for the little giveaway it is first more rare moment of slow pace in this game Richards with Rossiter nice second ball meno and Curry and it was Rossiter slipping to the basket for his first place that was called after the timeout was Bob McKillip because he knows they're hugging all the three-point Shooters just a great call by McCullough and the deployment saw nobody in the center spot to negate Thompson couldn't handle the pass into the low block and we're at the workout early today Roy Williams hollering at Thompson and he needs to look those passes into his hands had trouble catching the ball this morning catch for two rise an old alab Balboa you're always in trouble when you got to talk to a guy about how to catch it three or three you'll have to tell him how to shoot it right it's a great score that he is he can heat up quickly all of a sudden he has nine points the lead two for Davidson green for the lead for North Carolina strong rebound and then too strong the putback from Marcus ginyard nice give aisham ball for three Ross and we got a hand on the rebound green two on one with Thomas Richards Defender and a nice Look Away by Thomas and that's the danger with the quick three especially from the corner if everybody's below the free-throw line that can be a fast break situation North Carolina taking advantage lots of minutes for Thomas he wasn't cleared to play until November 1st he had knee surgery ostroscopic knee surge on his right knee in August with Lawson's foul trouble he's seen major minutes here in the first half and an offensive foul called minnow trying to shed hands bro [Music] [Applause] here to tie game 320 to go till the half Bobby Frazer on the floor now with Wayne Ellington Danny Green Alex Stevenson and Tyler Hansbrough for North Carolina Ellington five out of six from the floor for 10 points with the ball mouth one three one look here Fraser for three that's the open spot if he can knock him down or it may need that not just the knock down shot but they need Bobby Fraser to come in and make open shot they've got Ellington to hit shots and they also need Fraser who was unavailable last year because of that foot injury Arlington Curry now [Applause] there's Richards open and he answers to the three ball to the senior his dad Tom was a fine player a point guarded Pittsburgh in the early 70s play in the 1974 team that lost the North Carolina State the eventual national champs in the NCAA tournament a nice shot by Curry screening Jay excuse me they need to attack that Baseline and Screen Jason Richards on the Baseline Danny Green off the feed from Frazier first bucket for green it's amazing a much better shooter you are when you can step into a shot like that defense tardy and when you move the ball from side to side make that defense move you've got some openings [Applause] man the rebound down the Fraser the son of a coach his dad a long time high school coach in Illinois in the Illinois hall of fame that's a man-to-man on the miss [Applause] drag the double out of the double Fraser confident that's an elbow jumper five points for Bobby in a five-point Tar Heel lead and a nice ball screen too to free him up how valuable as Bobby Frazer been in this game with Lawson out with fouls [Applause] great play by Jason Richards it turned out great oh smart Carolina will keep it as they run to the arrow hit that Arrow if you tied the ball up the defense would get it every time they're not going to jump it reward the defense for the play Duke liked it when you were having a center jump with Samson Ellington New Mission chose a need for him to be a more consistent score he's a streaky Shooters not a hot streak tonight seven point lead and Bob McKillip wants a timeout an important possession for his team as we approach halftime and with Carolina starting to widen the lead if North Carolina can hit perimeter shots they are going to be awfully difficult to beat [Music] and Tyler Hansbrough lives in the land of the double double he's got a double double already and we're not at halftime yet this young man is just Relentless he thinks that every ball belongs to him he doesn't just think it he goes Billy and he gets it but I remember Jerry Lucas I know you two guys are much younger but he went up to he rebound both hands on the ball secures it No One's Gonna Get it such a tough competitors could he is relentless [Applause] Carolina has shot 60 percent in the half only 38 points in part because they turned it over 11 times [Applause] Boris Meadow looking to reverse it but Fraser was in the passing Lane now Jason Richards with 10 on the shot clock meno couldn't shed Stevenson on the fake then had to shoot a tough fall away and Roy Williams wants to time up set up what he hopes will be the last shot of the half with 19 seconds to go boy what a nice job by Alex Stevenson defensively really doing a good job helping and then recovering to his man meno when he got the ball you got a guy fading away you're doing some job you did a great job he moved his feet to he has got a rock solid body not a great offensive player but a rebounder Defender they're going to play UCLA in the wooden classic in Anaheim California December 8th they're at NC State and on the 21st that's an NC State team picked to finish third in the ACC this year behind North Carolina in Duke his player said get us more tough game so the night toward the NCAA tournament and the coach complied you mentioned State Brandon custom pretty tough kid Jay nice package that Courtney Fells JJ Hixson Devin Graham that's a good basketball team [Applause] rebound I think for Davidson if there is a Miss they need to get going toward the basket Fraser a dig free they took a little too long to get into that play the North Carolina wants down by seven leads by seven Hasbro and Ellington carrying the load good 24 of the 38 North Carolina points our score at the half is North Carolina 38 and Davidson 31. [Applause] and welcome back to Charlotte North Carolina we are at halftime and almost ready for the start of the second half and the number one team in the country north Carolina with a seven point lead over Davidson Sean McDonough with Jay billis and Bill raftery North Carolina was down by seven at one point in that first half and methodically worked their way back to the lead I think methodical is the right word for it as you said got down they were turning the ball over 11 turnovers the first half of the first half then Bobby Fraser came in the ball game really settled him down and they really did a great job on the board shot 58 percent in that first half overall Tyler Hansbrough double-double just solid well the depth and the defense is incredible I mean they just suffocate you and then offensively they've got different people who can step up you love the job Bobby Frazier did he was incredible getting the wall to the right people and Ellington I love the way he used to dribble to get himself free Jay great mid-range game but how about the way they settled down in the last 10 minutes of that first half doubled up Davidson on the glass 22-11 and Tyler Hanson rebounding even by himself with the Davidson Wildcats what a warrior he is and we spoke with Bob McKillip this morning so one of the big questions would be would his team be able to rebound and they were doubled up in rebounds out rebounded 22-11 by the Tar Heels Davidson's been in the midst of midterm exam so coach McKillip wasn't able to get as in depth in his preparation for all the things that North Carolina does with his team but the practices haven't been as long or as involved as he would like Stephen Curry bounced it off and then Boris Meadow missed a bunny boy that was big get him out of the gate little mo too early to give it up the hands bar almost almost a turnover you got to be smarter than that Ty Lawson plagued by foul trouble in the first half he has three played only four minutes in that opening half Ellington the star it rattles out to Thomas sander he played only seven minutes due to his foul difficulty Jason Richards with curry Sanders minnow and Max paulus Gossman minnow working on Dion Thompson nice Up and Under pretty move he stayed with it this stained the double on the top side such a good athlete and versatile he can face the basket Bob McKillip had a great compliment for meno said he leads by his teamwork and Sanders with a nice block Sean blocked the shot of Thompson so Davidson trying to open the half with a run Curry that was big missed a three minnow kept it alive for sander blocked by hands bro now Marcus kinyard Ellington was shut off by Curry well you like the way that Richards went right after Lawson in transition they didn't get anything out of it but got a great shot nice Step In by Curry poor handling of the double team and Richard turned it back over to Lawson Marcus ginyard I don't know about that one huh nobody on the glass and under duress boy North Carolina's big guys hands bro Thompson they've got to do a better job of handling these double teams [Applause] in release he has 11. not many players in America have better footwork or can stop on a dime and get a shot off any better than Steph Curry nice playing good use of the bounce great block by minnow he met the powerful Thompson at The Rim the emphasis on no in meno and Richards call for the offensive foul his second a little bit out of control they've had a bad call going against him but too deep and they played the wing receiver Jay that's what hurt him he was looking to give it up to Curry but unavailable he's a great denial highlights Bob McKillip going quickly to the bench Richards will stay in with the two fouls but Stephen Rossiter will archambeau and Andrew luckdale have all come off the bench very early in the second half Davidson was down by seven of the break they've nailed it to three see if North Carolina goes inside tries to get the ball to hand for it good job assisting with doubles Rossiter was running hands bro mansboro the Junior from Poplar Bluff Missouri too strong with a shot Curry looks to push [Applause] and the foul now now hands girl pushing and shoving with Andrew lovedale and he should get a foul also after the whistle he's just bad I think he's a little frustrated on the offensive end not able to come up with things there's a lot of pushing and shoving going on out there but that means that everybody has to keep their cool watch this at the end of the play see at the uh after the whistle that's right in front of the official let's see what they do well lovedale's trying to trying to walk through him essentially and Hans Rose just got to move out of the way and let him go he just said it's not in his major foreign [Music] you can't allow yourself to get faded into a confrontation and that's what happened to Tyler Hansbrough on that last play he had called for a personal foul in a technical foul it should only be the one it should be the technical foul which counts as a personal because it was a dead ball but I believe he was also called for the foul before the pushing and shoving after that that's right exactly very an excellent free-throw shooter 85 percent and change last year those are two fouls on hands bro his first two there's the one Sean and now this one literally the problem was lovedale tried to walk through him instead of walking around him and Hansbrough just needs to let him go it's kind of like fighting for a ball after the whistle you know nobody wants to give up on it but truth is who cares it doesn't count and look at this easy rebound and Curry a little short and love yeah it's straight points to open the half and Davidson has reclaimed the lead the largest lead was seven in the first half Thompson off the setup from Stevenson Roy Williams took Tyler Hansbrough out of the ball game after the foul and the technical counts as a personal better job by the Carolina big guys of handling two against one and the double on the box and they die from the top nice hands by Danny Green and Junior from North Babylon New York and this is the first time they get that little dive to the rim they've been trying to go across Court an excellent read and easy catchable pass what that dive did was after the double it isolates Steph Curry on Dion Thompson that is a matchup that Carolina will take any day of the week insides oh nice play because you're a threat oh goaltending the call Rossiter set up lovedale Stevenson called for the goal ten Davidson goes back up just a little pump fake by Rossiter set it up everybody bit and then the great penetration Brookdale three out of three from the floor he's from Nigeria went to high school in England accepted a scholarship to play at Davidson without ever actually visiting that beautiful campus yeah glass and bumped 72nd renewal of a great rivalry North Carolina and Davidson [Applause] one of the most memorable matchups in the East Regional Final in 1969 Charlie Scott in the bottom of your picture the star for Carolina here's Delaney back to Scott Charlie's Got the circle up for the shot and it's good and the ball game is over North Carolina has won 87-85. Charlie Scott pumped it in their former victory at the last second what hops out jumping the players Dean Smith no Hops at all could barely get off the floor he didn't have to he won so much offensive foul underneath and Dion Thompson excellent elevation look at this guy he's All-American John lunston moved denoted move of course those were in the days when Davidson played its best basketball their National Power in the late 60s under Lefty drizelle matter of fact lost to Carolina in the East Regional Final in back to back here 68 and 69. early Scott after it shot in 69 32 points in that game in College Park Maryland to send Carolina to its third straight final four they lost to Purdue in the National semifinals hurried in the left hand granny have one the ability to maneuver in traffic and he can shoot so well Jay he's trying to use the dribble more creating his own but how about the use of the left hand to finish that was pretty marching ball with a giveaway now when you shoot the ball behind the back first and here the tree Defenders pretty clever and then back to the left away from traffic showing a great feel for finding openings his father Dell Curry the great shooter played at Virginia Tech and many years in the NBA I don't know if Kelly could put it on the deck like the sun though Wellington to miss the rebound sander all Davidson here in the second half Carolina's they're just one field goal in the second half one out of eight since the break kind of pound it in though Sanders Stripped by Green but got it back oh that's their play Drive drawer a nice look even though couldn't handle a beautiful seed by Curry by the way Charlie Scott I saw Chuck Daly do you remember that name I know you're like Chuck Daly yeah yeah John Watts and Lefty drizelle went to Laurinburg prep for every game to recruit Charlie Scott they used to flip a coin to see who spoke to him first and of course John Lotz long and he was then Dean's assistant Danny Greene knew it was off went racing after the rebound Ellington got a finger on it but couldn't Corral it Davidson by three five and a half gone by second half they haven't been ranked since those Glory Days the last time Davidson was in the national rankings the major polls was 1970 the win tonight would certainly move them into the rankings Andy Katz had him 23 in the country in his preseason poll and then a number of the magazines they were in the top 25 but not in the AP or the coaches poll just outside the top 25. Ellington called for his first foul on the team's fourth here in the second half Caroline's going to get their defense be sound don't gamble stick to their principles and then conversely attacked inside they've gotten away from it settling deep and Ty Lawson essentially taken out of the ball game he's not on the floor right now but not playing much in the first half because the foul trouble it has been a very difficult game for their leader and Frazier on the floor have a sound first half you can get them in order Richards with Thomas contesting and rattled out to hands bro Clinton Thomas now the point guard green passed up the three in transition and then charged right idea but not under control heads up played by sander and you mentioned he only played Seven Minutes in the first half and that was part of their problem coming down the stretch of that half didn't have that inside force on both ends North Carolina lost a little bit of composure at the start of this second half when hansbrook gotten a little shoving match with lovedale and you're right though being in control coming to a two-footed jump stop and making a play Danny Green out of control and that's why they had the turnover first foul on green five team fouls already on the Tar Heels and score only two points here in the second half nice pass minnow doubles and then turned it over he's been shaky here in recent moments Thomas blocking foul called on Stephen Curry he wasn't squared up well he's mad that the pass wasn't caught at the other end he went right after Maino he wasn't mad at the officials he didn't get the right angle you're right second foul on Curry the fourth against the Wildcats here in the half Davidson and Thomas will go to the line Davidson has had some opportunities but haven't been able to finish plays meno dropping the ball he had that one dunk that he wasn't able to get [Applause] made the first lovedale comes in Meadow goes out Thomas the only player left who played in the national championship game victory in 2005 over Illinois I want to see hansborough here with the lane moved up on free throws that gives him a little more room to to work but they are just pinching down on him being so physical they were working on that yesterday look at this nobody back Hollis Gosling missed the donkeys green went up to contest lovedale lost him well that's six points on easy plays the catchers the layups the dunks and greens three spot out that had the feel of a major momentum shift but a crossover all the way to the bucket a Blow by and a little bump to boot by love there this sellout crowd fully engaged now Davidson by three under 13 to go Hansbrough in the middle of the lane fouled by Sanders sander keeping his hands up but he's using that body to bump down low and look at Curry what a nice Head and Shoulder fake to just blow by Thomas a little lingerie on the deck quick and gift with the bounce [Applause] third fouling sander fifth team foul hands bro with his first point of a second half preseason ACC Player of the Year and will receive almost every vote 60 of the 64 in the ACC preseason media poll Sean Singletary of Virginia got the other four votes will reached a thousand career points in just 54 games fastest to do the Carolina since the aforementioned Charlie Scott back in the late 60s they've had some pretty good players off in the interim goodness some Talent MJ Mike o'conn one of my old favorites was killing C before him one of the great ACC players of all time they'll never get through the broadcast man name all the uh retired numbers that Carolina Jones heck I got a few of those retired myself Billy Cunningham is telling me what a Class Act he was and is a gentleman is talking to me about his high school coach he said it keeps me up experience Bobby Jones the turnover there's the 11th committed by Davidson so Carolina with a chance for the lead they turn it back over green called for a moving screen along the edge of the lane or a good idea but you don't need the move just make the defender change his path Fraser boy he had so much time to squeeze that one off really didn't need that foul they can't get it going basically self-defusing playing Roy Williams Set after the exhibition games he doesn't feel they're a great team yet he said Davidson looks like more of a team than we are at this point in terms of playing together it's not as if Carolina didn't lose anybody David's in return almost its entire team including all five starters from last year but Carolina did lose Brandon Wright the eighth pick of the NBA draft Ray Sean Terry second round pick of Dallas and Wes Miller is now playing in England Thompson a miss and the rebound down the love deal nice entry by Ellington now Frazier can't help out he got away with one he leaves Curry an open look the last trip by looking to help his teammate you'd still rather have Curry drives and shoot from the perimeter it's in by one in a rare moment looks like the teams are catching their breath nice slip by lovedale they've done that effectively a couple of times tonight eight for lovedale meanwhile Carolina's one out of 11 from the floor in this half green a nice smooth great body control I don't know what Carolina bad pass I don't know what Carolina's big guys are worried about the head so much make sure you stay close to your man [Music] Tracked Down by Rossiter got stuck in the corner and used the timeout [Applause] Davidson by one Bob McKillip perhaps not a household name around the country but his peers know what a terrific coach he is we've seen examples of it tonight teaches his players how to play Andrew lovedale right here going to go up and set a ball screen Watch Danny Green he jumps out immediately slips the screen the defender's a little bit late because they are so wide staying with three-point Shooters excellent job of reading the screen and reading the slip by Andrew lovedale and it's another terrific coaching job by Bob McKillip he called that in the first half after he saw Carolina staying with the shooters on the perimeter and it worked beautifully the deployment's essential though right you got to lift people spread them out otherwise it doesn't work nobody at home underneath and when you're guarding the screener in a situation like that you've got to stay connected to your man once you get disconnected that slip and you give up the layup five second call Richards couldn't get it in now Carolina with a chance for the lead on the 12 Davidson turnover here in downtown Charlotte Davidson by one Sean McDonald with Bill raftery and Jay billis he's an opener for the number one team in the country north Carolina Ellington who has not scored in the second half and they've gone with the three-guard look The Three perimeters Ellington Lawson and Frazier see what impact it has defensively I think that's the biggest issue here North Carolina's been totally out of sync since that technical foul on Tyler Hansel where they lost their composure just for a moment in the second half Carolina two of 12 from the perimeter or from the field [Applause] [Music] [Applause] threw up a jump hook well he's had a rough second half in some key spots for Davidson Ellington slash and then he missed so again Carolina can't take the lead we're Midway through the half arson ball for three well they've been waiting for him to light it up he's struggled in the first couple of games or first game I should say made 58 threes for them last year only Curry had more for Davidson Davidson really packing it in right now I think sander was holding on to Hansbrough yep that's going to be four on standard he's been physical with hands bro all night and Roy Williams knew the interior players were guarding hands bro would be physical [Applause] [Music] I would imagine that's the only way you could guard that mid you have to got to make body contact with him a few days ago with him wipe you out [Applause] how about Hans Bros performance against Michigan State in the NCAA tournament it's probably from the fractured nose playing with the master ripped the mask off in the first half and went on to score 33 points dream the miss that kid's got the ticker you know that Richards Davidson a chance to widen its lead they led by seven in the first half trailed by seven at the half they have controlled the play here in the second half as North Carolina's only eight points since the break Curry missed a deep three and praise of the rebound Fraser got lucky there he went underneath and Curry pulled the trigger can't do that on that kid green Jacks another three some tough matches right now I think Davidson a little bigger spots oh Danny Green a smart basketball player you know you pointed out bill at practice today he's vocal he knows where everybody is supposed to be on the floor s out spots that they're supposed to be it's amazing I think North Carolina fans keep waiting for more consistently from Green third year now not sharing time with Rayshawn Terry he should have the opportunity to Blossom here is a junior arshambo tough shot can't be forcing green the rebound again a chance for the lead for North Carolina as we near eight and a half minutes remaining I need to get the ball inside here good job though he's guiding Hillsboro with sander on the bench with four green the offensive rebound and he was foul the right spot a good checkout and green showing his versatility his ability to go to the glass [Applause] going after it with both hands and then finishing the play with the contact by rossider second personal on Rossiter and the seventh team foul will be the bonus the rest of the way each way and now green out of St Mary's High School Manhasset Long Island brother Rashad at Manhattan College I don't think Danny Green's really done over the course of his three years he's improved this level of concentration I was at his first practice at Carolina I didn't think he'd make it through the practice Davidson fans trying to get their team fired up as the lead is gone and it's Hansbrough called for a bump on Rossiter I don't know why hamstrone would want to fight Rossiter too much down there he's not a scorer you got to pick your battles okay Curry really is active without the basketball he punishes you know roster now gets a chance huh what a one one and one three fouls on hands bro of course the first two were on the same play when he got the personal and the technical roster just 56 percent from the line last year out of Staten Island New York Monsignor Farrell High School his dad Steve was a fine player at Loyola of Maryland in the early 80s it was a brother Ryan who's a freshman at Siena coach McKillip says he's a crafty New York City kid and Bob McKillip you can still hear the Queens New York in his action when he sticks and one thing Bob McKillip does in these games he breaks the game down into 10 four minute rounds he calls him and we are about to get into rounds nine and ten and that's where the Champions show up wow this is NBA continuation there Austin looked like he got bumped it about the elbow [Music] oh they look at beautiful Davidson College north of Charlotte most of the student body here tonight known for its academics 23 Road Scholars have come out of Davidson College they have an honor code Stephen worked with professors to schedule their exams at a time that's convenient they tell us because that unacquote students at the library if they want to go read and he can read their computers and books go to eat come back and know that everything is still going to be there we never had that freedom in my day no obviously I had to have their brains either there's Ty Lawson at the line to shoot the free throw appeared to be a gift that they counted the field goal and Carolina's 12 out of 16 from the line now within five ties and eight lean changes in this game North Carolina started this half too for 14 from the floor they've made three of their last four to take a three-point lead under eight minutes to go four perimeter players and Tyler Richards to Curry turns into a three to a short sander back in with four fouls able to track down the offensive rebound smart play too Jason Richards guarded by Ty Lawson Stephen Curry with Marcus ginyard defending another nice slip to the bucket by Andrew lovedale boy they're so smart how they approach it empty backside screen and take it to the 10. we just make great reads you get above that outside shoulder they're gone love deals five out of five from the floor for 10 points the average five per game last year as a sophomore [Music] green a three from the corner ginyard the one-handed snatch and he was found on the putback wow did he Propel himself in the air you know they never got back in position after the double either though to get a good checkout that's why handling that double is so important because then you can beat the rotation so now Mark is skin yard at the line the Junior from Alexandria Virginia spent the off-season delivering sandwiches in the Chapel Hill area so we want to learn more about personal responsibility [Applause] probably got some nice tips from the Tar Heel fans as well oh I'm sure part of the deal it's interesting with this small lineup though they went to the street guard wolf and now they've got added a fourth week again who can play Curry obviously love Dale's gone out with four fouls his replacement Boris minnow the rebound Wells from France and over to this country in 2002 at the Philadelphia as a high school student with an eye toward playing college basketball in this country Lawson tight defense on Richards Curry for three and that's just straight you should have driven by Richard 20 points for curry and then Lawson wide open Mr Shorty and a foul in the rebounding action on North Carolina they're pointing at hands bro that would be his fourth and it is keep yourself active get the puppy set we got a point guard with Jason Richards ability and you can smile your way on the open look but it's just another great read by Steph Curry the nice little fade and you can see there's the push by Tyler Hansel so hard when you know that ball is coming off on the far side to keep your hands up and Mark this down he's to the bench with 6 26 to go [Applause] Davidson leading 57-56 18 foul on the Tar Heels Bob McKillip has his best player and best free throw shooter of the line you could hear the appreciation that he has for Stephen Curry not just the playing ability but he referred him as a young man of Great Character said the parents deserve a lot of credit for that if you know Dell and Sonia Curry you can understand why the children are the way they are a lot of times Dell won't sit with his wife during the game so he goes she's so animated and emotional we played as well it's a lot easier Davidson a perfect nine out of nine from the line Wildcats by three trying to upset the number one team in the country in downtown Charlotte 6 15 to go Ellington almost turned it over Lawson able to run it down 15 to shoot Ellington for three with paulus Gosling right in his face 15 for Ellington or how smooth of a shooter is Wayne Ellington deep mid-range he's got it all and again he can put it on the deck that's what really sets up the outside game for it tonight at 59. they are really reacting to the overplay and going back door Terry Ricks across the arm and they're going to say he was on his way up to the bucket he'll shoot two big green with the giveaway but right here you got the head up Kent defense is perfect [Applause] very putting the ball on the floor and getting in between the Defenders Terry back to the line after the third personal on green the ninth team foul Curry playing with the wrap left wrist the school does not release injury information but it doesn't seem to have affected him he scored 27 with that left wrist wrapped in their opener against Emery sander out lovedale back in they each have four fouls goes out for Fraser for North Carolina [Applause] 23 for curry this is his 36th career game he scored 20 or more in 21 of those 36 Hans will still on the bench Terry six out of six from the line Davidson back up by two [Applause] Ellington couldn't drive on Curry and he goes Curry fouled him no basket for green [Applause] both teams over the limit Fallon Terry his third and with as much talk as there's been about Derrick Rose you know Chris Douglas Roberts is pretty darn good too he's been our best player so she's not bad you know this is difficult for Davis and Jay the four perimeter guys from Carolina can all beat you with the dribble they've got to come out and play them because they can make that Medium rage jump shot and Steph Curry right now getting a little rest for the stretch run he can take the next minute and a half and then the timeout if Bob McKillip so so chooses two timeouts left for Davison Davidson's timeouts reflecting those hash marks above their team name arson ball missed a shorty now North Carolina with a chance to reclaim the lead Ellington strong to the bucket missed with the left hand but Davidson has missed four layups in this game two of them were missed dunks and they had two other missed layups five minutes to go we're tied and this is not a big surprise to those who follow college basketball closely Davidson a 29 win team a year ago with every starter back and Bob McKillip will use one of those two remaining timeouts so Richards keeps that dribble alive he was harassed how about the job Lawson was doing on Lawson might be able to draw a charge on Richards because he's trying to lean into him to get him off of that was a great job defensively by Ty Lawson [Music] and I lost and you can see moving his feet and Richards so strong trying to lean in to see if he can get Lawson off of him but forces him to pick up his dribble so far away from the basket that's why Bob McKillip called the timeout couldn't get the ball into an operating area but also you got him guys get three for you when you're the point guard too you're right there stuck you got a step cut prepare yourself make yourself available [Music] um Richards looks a little tired I don't blame him I'm tired watching him well they haven't beaten A ranked team under Bob McKillip people certainly put a scare in the Maryland last year in the first round of the tournament Ohio State the year before that once and they haven't been ranked since 1970 a win tonight would certainly Vault Davidson into the top 25. it's nice slip and look at the help by Frasier another missed layout this one from Arson ball we've got to use the glass who's on the sideline yes he was Lawson was out of bounds it's like an early season game though and both teams the missions you alluded to with Davidson out of sync a little bit not meshing for Carolina it's got a tournament feel in the building oh yeah big time but it's going to come down this stretch last four minutes to whoever's tougher and whoever's tougher mentally just two out of nine from the floor in the game Richards has not scored in this half for Davidson and they pull it out with 10 to shoot oops out of bounds last Touch by lovedale and Davidson turns it over with 403 to go tied at 61. I don't think you'll want him with the ball on top like that no but whenever Jason Richards gives the ball up he's having a heck of a time getting it back Carolina wants to make these other Davidson Wildcats other than Richards handled the ball and without curry in there becomes more important Hansbrough still on the bench it has been out for two and a half minutes and trailed by one and he went to the bench a sliced cut stream for the screener and now oh nice play by Ellington [Applause] here we're tied at 61. 3 41 to go and if Davidson can't pull off the upset they'll think back in a lot of easy missed shots here in the second half boy just finishing plays making the easy play and a couple times here will our chamboken if he uses the glass those are gonna go down I mean that's eight points that Bob McKillip should have in his pocket I think Carolina had been very effective with the smaller lineup and interestingly hands bro out of the timeout still not on the court for North Carolina he went out with his fourth foul with 6-26 to go Ellington gets the first to roll in he's three out of three from the line tonight Stephen Curry comes back in [Applause] you see the smile he was teasing Ellington how that one went in Wellington short with the second and a foul on Danny Green but not a good foul by Danny Green to foul 94 feet from the basket now 53 shooter last year four fouls on Danny Green double bonus each way [Applause] North Carolina has won 72 of its last 77 season openers the last time they lost a season opening game was against Santa Clara of course that was on their way out to Maui they won the Maui Invitational went on and won the national championship and that's a pattern for Roy Williams as well when he in his career has lost his opening game whether in Kansas or North Carolina that team has gone to the final four listen tank it then wasn't it Raymond Felton did not play in that game against Santa Claus that's right he did not play again Thomas played as a freshman love Dale from Nigeria miss both ginyard rips down the rebound Carolina with the ball a one-point lead nearing three and a half minutes to go Lawson went right around paulus Gosselin in a tough bucket a nice clear out form two in the middle high explosive not only to the basket but off the floor five for Lawson who does not have an assist tonight he's had at least one assist in every game of his career he's a sophomore Curry missed everything with his first shot since coming back in after a couple of minutes on the bench a pretty good defense so then you had that hand way up made it a tough delivery and he had the hand right in his face which is what a lot of good Defenders do you don't want to block a jump shot you want to get pressure on it and sometimes a hand in the face is every bit as good as a block Larry's two out of 10 from three-point land tonight three minutes to go number one North Carolina in the season opener up by three Lawson last touched by Green Geisler trying to guard him just an impossible test [Applause] said Lawson is as quick but if not quicker than anybody he's ever coached can you think of some of the lightning quick guards he has coached well they say Lawson has a gear that very few others have well the two fastest that Roy's coaster Raymond Felton and then Jack bond that he had at Kansas tough shot boy Richards oh his first bucket of the second half one point lead Carolina 235 to go hands were drew the crowd and that set up ginyard underneath and nice adjustment Sean it's interesting Davidson when the two guards are together they're more efficient boy that double had to come from a long distance hand throw shot dribbled out of it and made a great pass a lot of poise by the big guy curry with 20 to shoot drives I'm gingered into the traffic green swatted at two Wildcats there and they lost it over the end line Rosner and Curry couldn't Corral him two big defensive trips Carolina stepped up much more aggressive bumped the post guy to the corner here's your Double J the double came from a long way off it was paulus Gosselin and a nice job a great cut by Marcus ginyard and a terrific pass by Tyler Hansford the Poise he showed to dribble away and then keep that ball high and make that pass very impressive he's gotten better and better at handling that double team throughout the game [Applause] Ellington and green for North Carolina oh what a bad stream Ellington and green both involved in contact and they're going to give it to the green and he's fouled out Danny Green just leaning into it and to his credit Jason Richards selling it so green will be the first to succumb the fouls there there are a number of others with four [Applause] Richards for his team down by three 142 to go curry with Vineyard their best defender on him 17 to shoot Richard walked by the chest of Lawson turns the corner with Lawson right on them and the putback goes for Boris minnow or rather loved him well he just used his body with the bully boat it has been a battle throughout the largest lead for each team seventh Ellington the step back you said smooth one minutes ago Davidson down by three they'll need it all back at once here they have only one timeout remaining 20 seconds to shoot and they get it to Richards one of the best point guards in the country nice blood Dale on the cut air ball Ellington saves it I think you got to find out Richards Falls is fourth hey Curry and lovedale all with four now Davidson went back to the slip but that was a tough angle for lovedale to make that play well the last three trips here's just a terrific basketball player great body control but the last three defensive trips by Carolina have been Sensational got down effective took away the cuts you mentioned the slip support in the back making every shot difficult wait how about that step back dribble in the guts it takes to take that kind of shot with the game on the line time now for our Sony PlayStation 3 game track Carolina led by seven at the half after they trailed by seven in the first half but Davidson dominated the early going in the second half largely because Ellington and Hansbrough were ineffective Ellington has picked it up gainsboro has still been quiet since picking up a technical it's a three-point lead we had Danny green with five fouls on the stat sheet but apparently the last one was just his fourth because he is still in the game there's been some questions tonight what they've had on the computer screen here and what the actual number of fouls is everybody in early season four David's imagine I would think too Jay you know makes them push it up get the quick two extend the game prolong it yeah I think you take it to the basket and if it opens up to kick it out for an open three where you're stepping into it take it Lawson makes first of two that's a big one two possession game now unless they foul a three-point shooter with 30 seconds to go Carolina should stay up and make them take some time thank you Perry Oh unlucky the three rattled out sander kept it alive Kearney steps into ginyard last Touch by Ellington but we're down to 14 and a half seconds to go time running out on Curry and the Wildcats down by five Curry trying to jump into the defender smart plays [Applause] difficult to make that shot and he's a tough kid I mean he to get free on the top he set his man up got the screen they got the look they wanted we'll talk about Roy Williams Hall of Fame the killer had a Hall of Fame game I think preparation kids involvement I think it's over yet but Roy knew they would be tested this is a great game for North Carolina to play because the Tar Heels are playing a veteran ball club that are proven winners I mean this is a team that has won 20 games or more for three straight years this is a great way for a good team to start the season he's got great eyes doesn't he density it's like Mike Singletary you know across the line the eyes that he used to show out of that Chicago Bears helmet where Sean shows us when he thinks we're overstepping our limited bounds or for you live for your reference Bronco degurski oh sure I've been staring at both of you all night tonight and back in the broadcast equivalent of the witness protection program for another season Davidson to play it in after the North Carolina timeout nice another example of excellent execution out of a time-out the coach getting what he was looking for sander set up by Richard if they're gonna strictly enforce now the coaches box this year coaches will be made to stay in you know they will be dealt with swiftly and harshly Roy Williams we visited them today he said it's like bringing a bazooka to kill a fly he didn't think it was a major problem do they have coaches boxes or presidents boxes for the University president because Tom Ross the president of Davidson College has sat next to us all night and he's been all over these officials he violated the rule beating me out of the president's box if they had some tape on the floor for him well he has gotten quite a workout the aerobic workout that the president of Davidson College has gotten in this ball game has been Denise Austin quality he's had a lot to root for though yeah he's very proud of this program he's a Davidson college graduate as is their athletic director Jim Murphy you know and Bob mckillip's name has come up a bunch over the years for other jobs but he loves Davidson College he's 57 years old he said I would never say categorically knowing anything but I'm at a time in my life it would have to be something very special for me to leave because I feel like I have Camelot where I am if you know what he'll do in his future though I don't know how many years off it is whenever he decides to leave Davidson I wouldn't be surprised to see him go over in coaching Europe he is a very well respected coach in in Europe does a lot of clinics yeah I mean he could coach a professional team over there I could see him doing that in Hartley needing his system maybe bill could uh he's trying to get rid of me go with him the quickie now they're trying to foul it's so hard to catch up to Lawson and they do it 11 seconds to go [Applause] he shot 68 not bad for your point guard he's going to get touched late Ellington 83 last year Jay North Carolina [Music] isn't that one of the first rules of being a great assistant coach has never outdressed your boss [Applause] [Music] and I was talking about Steve Hale yeah he was Steve Hale's High School coach in Jenks Oklahoma Ross and a miss and now this is huge trying to make it a four-point game Sean this is a time where you might run a cross screen if you're Carolina or dip behind on the free throw you know Davidson you're likely need a three get it to the rim first Yep they're only four out of 22s from three tonight Richard's trying to get to the rim had it swatted and Carolina is going to survive what Roy Williams was well aware going in is going to be a major tussle with Davidson College this is not a cupcake opener he knew it well I'll tell you there were a lot of interested observers in this ball game none more interested than Ben Howland and Sydney Lowe and the like who are going to be chef Mike Krzyzewski playing this Davidson team coming up and they are going to get a fist fight when they do no day on the beach extraordinary preparation guys they spend every bit of energy and almost certainly this Davidson team's gonna be back in the NCAA tournament for the third year in a relative where the unanimous choice to win the Southern Conference UNC Greensboro expected to win the North Division in the preseason poll an Appalachian State lost three starters off their 25-win team of last year but many believe they're still strong but UNC Greensboro has already beaten Georgia Tech Kyle Hines their top score had a great game against the yellow jackets from 6-6 to 30. he's a he's a man and Bobby Clemens at the College of Charleston has another good good team and Steph Curry just had a terrific ball game Relentless pressure on him too just a sophomore what a great player the preparation of Carolina defensively and yet he was able to get decent looks because he sets this guy up and they look for him you're not gonna find a better Defender than Marcus ginyard and not a good one oh not at all no green we had him fouled out earlier I think now he actually has no consequence to it there's no five-point play 0.2 seconds but still that's not the way that North Carolina wants to end the ball game we'll watch the final second tick off meanwhile North Carolina they'll be tested in their non-conference slate as well and look at all the road games I mean they play Iona and Old Dominion at home but after that because of some scheduling issues they've had they are on the road I mean they're in Las Vegas they go on the road in the Big Ten ACC challenge at Ohio State they're at Kentucky Penn they got pen right yeah they wanted to take Wayne Ellington home so they're there that was the the one time they could get that game so they're gonna be in these blue uniforms for the next month and a half [Applause] sander made one out of two to account for the final margin [Applause] loved it great effort final score North Carolina 72 Davidson 68. this has been a presentation of ESPN the worldwide leader in sports
