The Hurricanes escaped North Carolina with a narrow victory over NC State. Once again, it was the freshman Walker (12 points) who garnered much of the attention. But, Bruce Brown also had an impressive night. He led the Hurricanes with 19 points on 7/8 shooting.

Brown showed his hot hand early with two quick threes in the first quarter. A couple of plays later, Brown found a high flying Walker on an alley-oop to give Miami a 18-9 lead. The Wolfpack would go on a run to cut the deficit to 1, however, thanks largely to Omer Yurtseven. He had a big night as well, finishing with 28 points on 12/16 shooting.

The Hurricanes and the Wolfpack would enter halftime in a closely contested game. Miami was in front 36-32.

Miami attempted to stretch their lead after halftime, but Yurtseven would always provide timely buckets for NC state. The second the crowd became silent, he would make a play to re-energize them. However, Miami was not phased by the crowd noise. Brown made sure the team would respond. He gave the Canes momentum with a driving layup and one. A few plays later, Brown swished a three to give Miami a six point lead.

When Walker made a three to give Miami an eight point lead, it seemed as if the Canes might pull away late. But, the Wolfpack kept it close. Another timely NC State bucket would cut the lead back to five.

However, the Wolfpack was never able to catch up with the Hurricanes. After a NC state miss, Lonnie Walker zoomed down the court and found Brown for a thundering dunk and dagger to make the score 82-74.

Miami won by a final score of 86-81. This was an important conference win for a Canes team that is trying to mesh before the ACC tournament.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
