Still riding the wave of Sunday night's come-from-behind win at Duke. We're talking about women's basketball today, so if you're one of these people - "I can't stand women's basketball. A high school boys team would wipe the floor with the best women's college basketball team." - Please move on to another conversation.

Finally. Adam Lucas revealed in today's Mailbag that the women's basketball team's game against Duke on Feb. 25 is sold out. It's about time.

The last two years, I've attended the Duke/Carolina women's game in the Smith Center. While it was fun, the arena definitely wasn't filled. This year, the team voted to play the game in Carmichael, their primary home floor. Perhaps it will be in front of fewer fans, but the atmosphere will be electric.

HBG and I were too late to get our own tickets. We didn't think it would be a problem. I'm glad it is, though. I'd rather watch a sold-out Carmichael on TV than be in there with just a few hundred folks. The #1 Tar Heel women deserve a sold-out home floor against Duke. This team is putting together a serious national championship run.

One of my friends named Jimmy recently started thinking about the women and who their counterparts would be from the current or very recent men's team. For example, he compared Ivory Latta to Raymond Felton, and Erlana Larkins to Sean May. Can we expand that a little?

Latta - Felton
Jessica Sell - ?
Camille Little - Marvin Williams
La'Tangela Atkinson - Jawad Williams
Larkins - May

McCants - McCants?
Alex Miller - Melvin Scott
Christina Dewitt - Danny Green
Latoya Pringle - Byron Sanders (though she's a better women's player than her boyfriend is a men's player)
Heather Claytor - Wes Miller (both deadly from 3 when they are on)
Iman McFarland - Jackie Manuel

Some of those are a bit of a stretch. As you can see, several of the women do not really have male counterparts. In my opinion, this year's women's team is even deeper than last year's men's team, and we know how far they went. Go Heels!

Down 13 at the half - down 58-46. Win 74-70 in Cameron over the Blue Devils. The #1 team in the country in women's basketball - and the only undefeated team in men's or women's college basketball - lives in Chapel Hill.

I was worried prior to the game, and I was worried at halftime. But Ivory Latta and the Tar Heel women put on a show. Congratulations.
