Tuesday Talking Points

March 8, 2005

By Adam Lucas

Sunday's game against Duke was the first game in his Carolina career in which Raymond Felton was available to play but did not start.

Nine different players have started a game for the Tar Heels this year. Marvin Williams is not one of those nine. In the years since games started are available (since 1985), his 22.0 minutes per game figure would easily be the highest by any Carolina player who has not started a game. The previous high was Julius Peppers, who averaged 15.7 minutes per game while exclusively coming off the bench during the 2000 season.

With Rashad McCants, opponents are shooting 34.2% from the three-point line. Without him, they're hitting 46.3% from beyond the three-point stripe.

Sean May's 316 rebounds this season would already rank him 15th on the Carolina single-season rebounding list. The single-season record belongs to Antawn Jamison, who had 389 in 1998.

Only two times in history has Carolina won a home regular season finale against Duke and then lost their first-round ACC Tournament game (1965 and 1978, both to Wake Forest).
