Thomas Bryant Says Decision Likely in March (PS; Ditota)
Thomas Bryant nursed a cold here Sunday afternoon in the Hoophall Classic. He laughed when he described his respiratory condition as "huffing and puffing" as he battled one of the nation's best high school big men.
Bryant, the Huntington Prep senior who has been on Syracuse's basketball recruiting radar since he was a Rochester eighth-grader, scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in his team's 76-57 win over the athletic, fluid Cheick Diallo and his Our Savior New American team. Bryant subbed in and out of Sunday's game, wheezing as he watched Huntington guards sink 3-point shots at a 54 percent rate.
» What happens to Bryant's scholarship if Chris McCullough comes back?
Huntington's 3-point acumen meant that the ball rarely went into Bryant in the post or anyplace else on the Springfield College basketball court. But Bryant still managed to impress. He still managed to make his presence felt.

ACC Night in Review; UNC Routs VT (PS; Stevens)
That North Carolina claimed the Sunday night game over Virginia Tech is not a surprise. The Tar Heels (14-4, 4-1 ACC) are good enough to make a multi-weekend stay in the NCAA tournament. The Hokies are now under .500, and might not get back to a level record the rest of this season. A 68-53 triumph was probably about right.
But there were a few takeaways from North Carolina's third consecutive victory to ponder, namely ...
That's the Justin Jackson the folks in Chapel Hill were looking for. The freshman might have turned in his best game of the season, with 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two 3-pointers The potential for such outings has kept Jackson in the starting lineup, even when his play is only so-so.
The best part of that line might be the 3-pointers. North Carolina needs to find or develop additional outside shooting threats, and Jackson (as the starting small forward) is a logical possibility. But that was only his third multiple 3-pointer game to date. Logic suggests Sunday was the anomaly, but the Tar Heels can't be blamed for hoping it's the start of something helpful.
