Heels Have Good Practice

Friday Final Four Practice Photos -- posted - www.scout.com:

From the insidecarolina boards, a fan reports from St. Louie:

"Carolina came out and had a full-out, full-court scrimmage (check out the pictures and you'll see them grabbing their shorts due to the workout). Damion Grant (aka The Man Mountain) was actually suited up and running the floor. They were going at it pretty good. Not really backing off that much. Unfortunately, due to weather I understand from talking to some Carolina fans, the Carolina charters were delayed and we didn't have much of a fan showing at the practice, but those that were there were very supportive.

They did do some shooting around but not nearly to the extent of Illinois (and we were making more!).

The best part was the end of the session where it turned into a dunking exhibition. I watched the slam dunk contest last night and they didn't have much on our guys. The usual suspects (Marvin, Rashad, David, etc.) had some fantastic dunks. The sleeper of the crowd was Melvin. He pulled off one of those pull the shirt off on the way in dunks. The best part, nobody got injured!

Anyway, moral of the story. We actually practiced and we looked pretty loose, coaches and players. I really liked the way they went about it. I left with a good feeling. I sure hope we bring the 'a game' and leave it all on the floor for forty minutes tomorrow. I'll be in the house to cheer 'em on!

Go Heels!!"

Fingers crossed, I can't wait for the game!
