NCAA Division I Basketball, Carolina Hurricanes, NCAA Men's Lacrosse
As the first week of February nears an end, the college basketball season is headed into the crux of conference play in preparation for the upcoming March Madness that we all will allow to take our minds over.
The NHL regular season is already a sixth over after only eight games.
Yes. That's right - a sixth of the season is over and the Carolina Hurricanes are right at the water mark - sitting at 4-4 after a 4-1 in Toronto on Monday.
Not great, but not bad either.
As of last weekend, the NCAA college lacrosse season kicked into gear as well.
Though it was only one game, the debut of the High Point Panthers men's lacrosse program added another NCAA Division I program in the state of North Carolina, since NC State dropped it's program back in 1982.
The Panthers lost a respectable game in front of just over 2,000 spectators at home, to a Top 30 team, the Delaware Blue Hens by only two goals - 12-10.
Though only one game in, it is too early how good or bad, this team will be as a newbie to the NCAA scene and in the state of North Carolina.
With preseason #4/6 Duke Blue Devils and #7/4 North Carolina Tar Heels kick off their seasons at home this weekend.
The Tar Heels host Air Force on Friday at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. while the Blue Devils host the #9 Denver Pioneers on Saturday at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C. with the opening faceoff taking place at Noon.
More detailed lacrosse coverage of Duke, North Carolina and High Point will be coming soon, including InsideLacrosse.com's preview of the Duke Blue Devils.
Lots going on in the Triangle as the February continues on.
