Training camp being held in Asheville

[liverpooty]

Which is essentially in my backyard. Anyone live near Asheville?

Does 6 hours away on the other side of the state fit under your definition of "near"?

Awesome! We totally expect you to don your spy coat and keep your nose pressed up against the glass during all of training camp just to provide us with every little tidbit of information!

Seriously that is pretty cool. I think they let the public in (or at least the students?) during their last scrimmage game.

Doesn't UNC have another campus at Asheville?

[Timmeh]

Yes. As well as Charlotte, Wilmington, and Pembroke (Outside of Lumberton)

Smallest to largest? In terms of student population I mean.

[Timmeh]

No, largest to smallest. Pembroke is DII I believe.

From today's Observer:

Interesting drill Dunlap runs to test both conditioning and concentration – the team has to make 38 total layups in two minutes, rotating full-court. The trick is every time down-court it’s a new pair of two players where the ballhandler must stop outside the 3-point line, throwing a bounce pass to a cutter for the basket.

Miss more than one layup in the two-minute process, and it’s virtually impossible to make it to 38 in two minutes. It took the Bobcats three tries Tuesday night to reach 38 in the allotted time.

[Timmeh]

I'm sorry if I sound like a stickler, but...three times? That means they missed at least 5 layups. LAYUPS. These men can dunk the basketball, they shouldn't miss layups.
