| Basketball
to Take On Virginia
by Zeke Smith and Heather Catlin
You probably won't see any Cavaliers "turning
it blue" during Wednesday night's basketball
game. The Tar Heels destroyed them in their
previous meeting, and it could be another
long night for Virginia fans.
After the Heels beat the Cavs by 34 points
in Charlottesville, the two teams will now
play in Chapel Hill, where the Heels' margin
of victory is nearly double that on the road.
Sean May will look to continue his hot
streak. Carolina's big man has posted double-doubles
in last week's games against Duke and Connecticut.
Though the starters might be taking it easy
on the benches by the second half, Dean E.
Smith Center officials hope to keep fans
up and cheering with an 80s retro night.
The game will have an "'80s
Retro Night" look, as both Virginia
and Carolina will wear uniforms from the
1980s. Even ESPN is getting
into the act.
Commentators Mike Patrick, Len Elmore, and
Doris Burke will sport their fabulous '80s
attire, and the sports station will use the
same graphics it used two decades ago.
Reporter Heather Catlin found that most
students were excited about the idea of '80s
night, and while some students just simply
told her what they planned to wear, others
couldn't hold back from singing a little
'80s music.
