Lucas: Post Presence

Posted Jan 22, 2009
In this space, I am supposed to report what I saw in Wednesday night's 94-70 shellacking of a good Clemson team. Here is the problem: the best thing I saw, the most glorious moment, didn't come when the ball was in play. It didn't happen when Tyler Hansbrough refused to let a dentist look in his mouth at his newly jiggling tooth and instead barked, "I'm fine!" and then stormed back to the court. (Tar Heel Blue)
