The Morning After

No.9 Michigan St 82 No.10 UNC 89: Sophomore Ed Davis scored 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting for the Tar Heels (7-1), while Larry Drew II had 18 points and hit five free throws in the final minute to help the UNC hold off a late run by the Spartans (5-2). North Carolina, which shot 58 percent, led by as many as 19 points early in the second half to beat Michigan State for the second straight year in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Suns 99 Knicks 126: Danilo Gallinari had 27 points and 10 rebounds, and the Knicks stunned the Suns 126-99 on Tuesday night, snapping a five-game losing streak and giving coach Mike D’Antoni a solid win against his old team.  This was the first game of the season in which the Suns failed to score at least 100 points. 

Allen Iverson: Much to RH’s chagrin, The Inquirer is reporting that A.I. will officially become a member of the Sixers this morning, signing a one-year deal for the veteran minimum and bringing The Answer back to Philly for the second go around.  Old Newport News homies Iverson and Michael Vick back in the same area code – this could get ugly.
