UNC 77, BC 72
This game was very similar to the Virginia Tech game, but the outcome was different. We definitely didn't have a dominating performance, but it was good enough to secure another W. With the win, we are still in the hunt (tied with Virginia and Virginia Tech) for the regular season ACC crown.
Five players scored in double figures with Hansbrough leading the way with 17. Nobody's performance really stood out except for Ellington in the first half. He finished the game shooting 5-8. Wright looked good at times.
Reyshawn Terry made me want to pull out my hair on at least 4 occasions. Terry's two fouls against BC's Dudley while shooting 3 pointers caused me to utter obscenities that would make a sailor feel at home. The saving grace was that Dudley made only 1 of 6. Reyshawn made other unfortunate plays including messing up a fast break 4 on 1 opportunity and dribbling the ball out of bounds on what would have been a layup. On the bright side, he nailed a critical 3 pointer as time was winding down. We need him to be more consistent in order to go deep during tourney time.
Next up is NC State in Chapel Hill. This will be our chance to avenge our earlier loss in Raleigh.
