UNC 34, Duke 39 (HALFTIME)
With the way we played, we are VERY lucky to only be down 5 at the half. We are playing like we did against State. We just aren't showing much heart, especially on the defensive end. After a rough start shooting the ball, we ended the half shooting 44% from the floor (compared with Duke's 41%). One difference is with 3 pointers. We shot 2-8 and Duke was 4-10. I hope we come out in the second half with a little more passion. Somebody has to guard Scheyer. He's got 14 points.
2:40: 29-37. We are getting it into Wright which is working.
4:06: 25-35. We've gone cold again and are letting Duke score on us at will. The pace has slowed down which favors Duke.
*bad call alert* 8:24: 21-26. Holy shit. The refs called a technical on Deon for "grabbing the rim". Unbelievable. He thought he had a dunk.
9:39: 21-24. After a Hansbrough dunk, the game is back to within 3. UNC seems to be getting into the flow. I like the pace of the game.
10:43: 16-21. Two great plays by Wright. Stuff on the defensive end, followed by a dunk.
*bad call alert* 12:08: 12-21. We just don't have intensity on the defensive end. Duke is taking it to us making 9 of their first 12 shots. Hansbrough got tied up and came out with blood on his forehead. Somehow that was a tie ball instead of a foul. Not sure how that works. I guess no blood no foul doesn't apply at Cameron.
14:59: 10-15. After the timeout, Carolina is playing better.
16:01: 6-15. Duke is playing well and we are not. Our guys look like a deer in headlights.
17:39: 4-10. Fast pace to start the game. Duke is making everything they shoot.
18:32: 2-5. Reyshawn came down hard on his back and had to come out of the game.
*bad call alert* 19:15: A weak touch foul called against Ty Lawson to start the game.
