The HeelsBlog player of the game award is not a Most Valuable Player award.  It’s an award that goes to the player who makes the most of his minutes and plays well within himself.  It also goes to the player that steps somewhat out of his role as us fans define it.

Last night, that award goes to Melvin Scott and Sean May.  Melvin made some nice moves, had 6 points, 4 rebounds, and an assist.  A great spin move for a layup that should be all over the highlight films.

Sean had another huge game.  He’s a beast right now, and one of the best big men in the country.  Bottom line.

Shot of the game goes to ….. Quentin Thomas.  Because, it was the shot of his season.  He was wide open, and he’s been hesitant to put the ball up all season.  That 3 was a true highlight for a kid most fans don’t give any credit to.

Also spoke to Cameron Sexton before the game outside the Smith Center last night.  Very friendly and we’re excited he’s a Tar Heel.  Told him we’d be at the spring game if we weren’t at the Final Four in St. Louis.  He laughed and said he hoped we’d be in St. Louis, but if not, definitely at the Spring Game.  Check out the football Heels on April 2.
