UNC 78, VT 64

I listened to the game last night as opposed to watching the game on TV. I enjoy listening to the game and feeling the action as opposed to watching the game and being distracted by the flow of the game. This was a great game to listen to!

First off, the Heels depth is a problem. We may have too much depth without any proven players coming off the bench. Ginyard was rusty, having missed the last 3 games, Tyler Zeller is still somewhat unproven, the Wear twins are shaky, and Henson plays erratically. McDonald is showing signs of improvement, but not enough for my liking. Justin Watts has improved, but experience-wise he's not much more than a Freshman.

Ed Davis and Deon Thompson are our biggest scoring option. They can play well within the paint. They are fine defensively, although Thompson fouled out on only 20 minutes of action. Tyler Zeller seems tentative at times, out of control at other times. He's got game, but his game hasn't reached the next level.

Will Graves is our biggest outside threat. When he's on, he's on. He also played one of the best Defensive games in his college career, pulling down 6 rebounds and contested several shots. Larry Drew II may not be Ty Lawson, but he showed his willingness to play team ball, and that's all I want. He really turned up his game in the 2nd half. He had 8 assists and 2 TO's, which is a great ratio.

Our biggest problem? Turning the ball over inside and out. Drew can handle the rock, and so can Strickland. Ginyard turned the ball over 3 times, and he probably was lucky it wasn't more. Ed Davis has problems turning the ball over, and so does Zeller.

We play a hungry Clemson team on Wednesday night. Clemson is (a) a better team than the Hokies, and (b) the game is played at Littlejohn. We can't have another 1st half like we had against the Hokies and win. Stay tuned.
