And Texas isn’t even trying to push it into the post very much. The Longhorns want pull-up jumpers early.

And now they’re beginning to find the interior pass.

Should have gotten to that missed free throw for the rebound. Turned a UNC possession into a Texas three.

Especially after UNC had two stops that went out-of-bounds on that possession. Six point swing from just carelessness. 13 point deficit at the half.

The size has been an issue and some of the usual stupid turnovers for the Heels. Transistion defense continues to be something UNC looks terrible at. Nobody stops ball ever. Texas is also deep enough to give fouls and are making UNC earn points from the line. Gotta shoot better than 50% from the stripe to beat a top team.

I won’t be shocked if UNC can get back in this game, but I won’t be shocked if they end up losing by 30 either. The first 2-3 minutes after the half UNC needs to control the ball and keep Texas from getting so many easy buckets.

D. Wear showing some range today.

Balbay is their weak spot. The guy has shot so badly this year he doesn’t even look to shoot anymore. I remember Jai in the McD’s AA game a few years back and he’ll be a good player once he gets more time.

He looks like the only guy on the team who wants to win.

I just wonder if it is going to be another just miss. Too little too late again. At least it isn’t a blowout.

and today it’s four – the Heels fight all the way back and then just go completely stupid. Even Ginyard.

If you’d have told me the major edge was going to be there I’d have never believed it. I’d have guessed FT’s or fast break points, but never getting embarrassed on the glass.

See you come ACC time.

Hope we can beat Gonzaga today. I’m a little scared honestly because the Plumlees aren’t taking over quite yet, and we need them to so we can get Zoubek on the bench where he belongs. Hard to win with nothing inside, and it’s looked rough since Wisconsin.
