So the site I write for is slowly gaining ground and my career is finally picking up but could use your help. Like the facebook page or start following the twitter and I'll be forever grateful. If there is too many updates or find the stuff dreadful to pass over then you can unlike or unfollow but it would be great if you could. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whats-On-Thorold/185462798222551 https://twitter.com/#!/whatsonthorold Thanks, I love you all.

http://theurbantwist.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/02092012-austin-rivers-e1328790804882.jpg On Saturday night at 7PM EST, the 6th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels and 3rd ranked Duke Blue Devils will meet for the 234th time in their schools history. UNC leads the all-time series 131-102. However, the Blue Devils have won 5 of the last 6 meetings between the two, including a thrilling 85-84 win on February 8th in Chapel Hill that saw an epic 10 point Duke comeback in the final 2 minutes that was capped off by a buzzer beating 3 pointer from star Duke Freshman Austin Rivers. http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/103/1032166.jpg Duke guard Austin Rivers before the February 8th matchup: “I'm going to have an impact.” However, this time, there is more than just pride and bragging rights on the line. When the Tar Heels and Blue Devils step on the floor of Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season championship will be on the line. Both UNC and Duke are 13-2 in ACC play and this will mark the 6th time in history that these two fierce rivals will face off in the final regular season game with the ACC regular season title on the line. UNC currently holds a 3-2 record in these aforementioned games, including an 81-67 point win in last season's regular season finale. Tar Heel coach Roy Williams looks to improve his record to 3-0 in these winner take all showdowns. http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/fansonly/sports/m-baskbl/01action/unc-haywood-012801.jpg Current Dallas Mavericks center and Tar Heel alum Brendan Haywood: “I don't want to share the ACC title with anybody; especially Duke.” As if the stakes needed to be any higher, the outcome of this game will not only determine the #1 seed in the ACC tournament, it will also have strong implications when it comes to a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament later this month. How's that for excitement? ________________________________________________________________________________________ The two schools represent a stark contract in styles. North Carolina relies heavily upon their size inside the paint. They feature one of the biggest, longest and most talented front courts in the NCAA. Senior Tyler Zeller, Junior John Henson and Sophomore Harrison Barnes are all 6'8 or taller and all three of them posses wingspans of 6'11 or greater. The Heels score 39 points a game inside the paint, which is 1st among power conference teams. Meanwhile, the Blue Devils' defense struggles mightily at closing down the interior. They allow 32 points in the paint per game, which is 2nd worst among power conferences. This statistic played a significant role in the first meeting this season as UNC outscored Duke 42-14 inside the paint. This interior dominance was the driving force behind North Carolina establishing and maintaining an 8-12 point lead throughout much of the 2nd half. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_963G0l5jLIw/SZNNyp9m0yI/AAAAAAAAAT8/rK9Q-B08_EI/s200/forte.jpg Former North Carolina guard Joseph Forte: “They hate us, just like we hate them.” While UNC will look to pound the ball inside, Duke will rely heavily upon the 3 point shot and their dynamic back court of Rivers, Junior Seth Curry and Junior Andre Dawkins. North Carolina makes 5 3's a game while their opponents make 7.3. Duke makes 8.4 3's a game and shoots 39% from deep. Much like UNC's paint dominance, Duke's long range bombing played a significant role in the first meeting this season. Curry, Rivers and Dawkins combined to shoot 12-23 from beyond the arc and the Blue Devils outscored the Tar Heels 42-3 from beyond the arc, including making 3 long range shots during the comeback, one of which was the game winner from Rivers as time expired. Just how close are these two rivals? Well, the last 82 games that they have played, UNC has outscored Duke by a single point; 6,355 to 6,354. Duke beat UNC by a single point earlier this season. The 3 games these teams played against one another last season were decided by a combined 9 points; 221-212 in Duke's favour. If these statistics foreshadow anything, it is that we should expect yet another close, hard fought battle in college basketball's most historic rivalry as these two Carolina schools, separated by just 8 miles, go to battle for ACC supremacy. College broadcasting legend Dick Vitale summed it up best when he said: “There's no greater rivalry in college basketball than Duke and North Carolina” On Saturday night, a new chapter will be written in this historic rivalry.

I don't know. By the way, did the Habs hire a non-French speaking coach when Martin was fired?

Liked and followed.

Hope it's like that first meeting, and UNC wins, so we can go into the tourney praying that the two will play each other for the tie-breaker. THAT would be sick. It's crazy watching two teams go at it like they do, though...seeing one go to the post, and the other hang around the perimeter. No mention of Marshall, huh? I'm getting interested in him...really, really wish there will be a way for him to fall to the 20's, but I doubt it. The dude has crazy court vision.

Anything for a fellow journalist.

what can the Clips possibly trade for Allen? Butler and Mo Williams?

All white people that play basketball consistently can shoot....its what we depend on lol
