Gee if we could only play cupcake teams like Duke and UNC every night then we would be undefeated.
State should have won for sure, but they should have won by at least 15-20….
Got to give the Tar Heels credit for the way the fought and came back…Solid game by Greensboro’s PJ Hairston…When that kid is on, he can nail some three’s and he was on last night, going 5-7 from behind that line….
State certainly and undeniably is the better team and they played better last night as well. Particularly that starting 5. Gonna be a slightly longer year than usual but Go Heels!
I wouldnt worry too much about how much they shoulda/coulda won by. Difficult to keep your foot on the gas sometimes when the game has long been decided. They looked pretty good all night and really goo several times. Enjoy the ride.
