UNC-Chapel Hill played UNC-Asheville yesterday. The Tar Heels won, frankly by a bit too much. I felt pretty bad for UNC-A. 116-48? That's too brutal. I didn't see the game at all, but maybe we could have allowed them to score a little more? Put in the bench earlier?
And I also learned yesterday that UNC-A's Kenny George, their 7'7'' center (7'9" in shoes), had part of his right foot amputated due to a MRSA infection back in October. He was apparently pretty sick and was going to be in the hospital for another month. That's very sad. I wish him well. Here is a youtube clip of him playing (you can figure out which player he is).
He also had a good write-up in the NY Times last year. No company makes shoes in his size, so in high school Shaq sent him a bunch of his size 22s and they were reshaped into size 25s so George could wear them. Wow.
