Don't panic, but UNC lost to BC.
Again, don't panic.
UNC has not played a great game since they defeated Michigan State, about 5 games ago. I thought that when we came out of exams, we were flat. I also think there are other issues.
First: UNC really has only 1 Freshman that is contributing to the team. Zeller was lost after the second game, and Drew has just been inconsistent.
Second: Defense has been shaky. Individually our players are very solid, but there appears to be a lack of team defense. The opposition has too many offensive rebounds for my liking.
Third: Transition. Teams realize that after a missed shot, the guards must immediately take a few steps back in case there is a potential layup.
Again, don't worry. UNC will be fine this year, and we will probably go on another roll. This loss will cause the players to regain their focus and realize they need to work together.
bottom line - we sucked, they did not. They came to play. We did not. They made shots and took care of the ball, we did not.
ReplyDeletePainful to watch, but not fatal. At least the undefeated talk will be done now. We will win many road games to make up for this home loss.
