Two tidbits on the Tar Heels:

First, did you see David Noel win the Mountain Dew College Slam Dunk Contest last night on ESPN? Noel has always been a fierce dunkmaster, and he really showed his stuff Thursday night.

The Tar Heel senior was hanging out in about fourth place when he came with a dunk that started with a running round-off and back handspring, followed by a buddy passing him the ball and Noel leaping and slamming it home. The contest leader, some Memphis kid, missed his skywalking dunk, and Noel won.

Second, I know y’all saw this already, but Tyler Hansbrough announced that he’ll be returning to Carolina for his sophomore year. Yes! The Tar Heels are going to rock next year.

Don’t forget to cheer on the Tar Heel women’s basketball team this weekend!

Go Heels!
