UNC 83, NC State 64
Our depth proved to be too much for the Wolfpack. State looked like they were tired going into the half and they didn't come out in the second half looking any better. Their coach was tired too; he had to go to the hospital due to dehydration (he has been ill). At around the 8 minute mark we were running State ragged and then Roy put in 4 subs. I loved it :-) This was the first time we looked dominate in several games.
Brandan Wright had a great game scoring a game high 24 points. Hansbrough scored 20 points too. Danny Green had a monster defensive game with 3 blocks. Reyshawn Terry had a very quiet game and almost seemed uninterested in trying to score. He only took 2 shots and one of those was a fast break dunk. Ty Lawson also had a relatively quiet game with 5 points and 5 assists.
Quentin Thomas came off the bench in the first half to give the team a boost. He had a great alley oop to Brandan Wright. I think Q should have gotten more playing time in the second half.
With Virginia losing earlier, we are back in sole position of first place in the ACC. If we can win out (games at Ga Tech, at Maryland, and home with Duke) we'll secure the regular season crown.
Second half notes:4:32. 74-61. No one can stop Brandan Wright. He's having an awesome game.
8:37. 68-54. State looks apprehensive partly because of foul trouble but also because they are just tired. This is going to be a blowout!
13:45. 55-47. The UNC 2nd team has again come off the bench and increased our lead. The 2nd team (which includes Ginyard, Frasor, Miller, Thompson, and Green) is playing much better defense than the 1st team.
