28 points leading to a 89-78 win over Georgia Tech. Read the recap
from UNCAA

Nearly perfect first half by UCONN crushes the Tar Heels
The Huskies used a 23-0
run to gain a 32 point half time lead. A heartbreaking 88-47 loss
for the Tar Heels becomes a chance to learn and grow and improve for
conference and tournament time. Read the UNCAA recap
here, the
ESPN recap
here, and the
UCONN viewpoint
here. Check
out quotes from both coaches in articles from the News and Observer
here and
ESPN's Graham Hays article titled “UCONN's first half play as good
as it gets”

Communities to visit.

Identify groups with which you are familiar that might be interested
in attending games and

Volunteer your time to deliver materials promoting group sales to
interested groups.

Events Committee
Thanks to all those who came out to support our team last Saturday
at Champps. We had 40 fans, despite the fact that the game was
available nationally on CBS.
The Sunday, January 17th game against Maryland begins
at 5 PM at Carmichael. Because of the timing of this game, we will
not have a formal meal together at Time Out, though they will be
open and serving! Be sure to wear your Tar Heel Team Tempo buttons
to the MD game!
Our next
planned away game viewing party will be Monday, January 25th, at
Time Out, for the NC State game. Try to arrive between 6:30 and the
7:00 PM tip off to secure a good seat before ordering your food and
drinks. Time Out Sport Bar is our permanent location now! |
