Box Score

Change or perish.  The Tar Heels hit just 44.4% of their twos and a third of their threes, but NC State once again got killed on the glass and could not force the turnovers necessary to win.  Losing the rebounding battle so decisively is something I've come to expect, but to do so against a shorthanded team like this is embarrassing, unacceptable, and sad.  As a result, Carolina cleared 1.1 points per possession for the third time in conference play and for the second time against NC State.  We are awesome.

This is the sixth straight defeat in conference play for the Pack, the sixth straight time they've not even come close to scoring a point per possession.  It's all gone to hell.

No matter how bad it gets, N.C. State has it worse.

Ain't that the truth.

Baffled

Besides losing in every statistical category you just listed, I’m not sure what went wrong today…

WOW

Can’t say I’m not glad I scheduled dinner to interfere with the second half of this game. Otherwise I would have wasted another hour of my life on an school that doesn’t deserve my support.

The real question is...

… what’d you drop on dinner? The mint went $179 plus tip… but that includes $94 in wine.

At the end of the day, good food, but vastly overpriced. I can go to four places in Carrboro and get food every bit as good… and get it for $50-80 including drinks.
