Missed Opportunities For North Carolina Football

Art’s Angle: Kissing Your Sister

The Tar Heels’ record at this point of the football season is really 3-3-1. Saturday’s six overtime loss at Virginia Tech had so many good plays (regulation) and so many bad plays (overtime), plus some poor optics over the four-hour telecast, that it is difficult to put the 43-41 final into the loss column. Both teams deserved a tie, nothing more, nothing less. (Chapelboro.com)

Phoenix Suns rookie Cam Johnson definitely notices NBA having more space

Cameron Johnson is the best shooter in the 2019 draft class, and with the added real estate, it creates more choices for defenses to make while also opening up angles to the rim for others.

This one isn’t on Noah Ruggles.
