Jawad Williams Picture on ESPN

I love Jawad Williams. He's one of the unsung guys of the 2005 UNC team that won it all. Jawad was a senior that year and really broke out getting him drafted in the 2nd round of the draft. Plus, he stayed with the team after going 8-20 his freshman year under Matt Dougherty. See that, Adam Boone/Brian Morrison? Serves you right.

Jawad had 8 points in 10 minutes last night as the Cavs fell to the Sixers, but Jawad led in the resemblence to Michael Jordan category. Talk about stat filler.

Big Game for Deon Thompson

Ah, I miss UNC basketball. I got to catch the game via an internet feed but it got pretty laggy. That's not a word, but it was full of lag. I did, however, still get to witness Deon's 22 point outing, a career high I believe. Tyler Hansbrough is also approaching Phil Ford's UNC scoring record which he is only nine points shy of now. That one's a big one, but I have my eye set out for J.J. Redick's ACC record of 2,769 points. Tyler is sitting at 2,282 and there is 21 regular season games left. So, not counting the ACC or NCAA tournaments that I am hoping UNC will make (very) deep runs into, Tyler could actually break the record by the end of the season by averaging a little over 23 points a game. That may be a stretch, but with the help of tourny games, I think the kid can do it. And he's gotten this far without the help of 3 pointers.
