[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 679244, member: 2299"] This makes no sense. Our regular selves are a slow it down defensive oriented team. The second half was 56-49 UNC. That isn't our regular selves on either end. Also, to say that we had some tough possessions and were able to hang on is misleading. UNC was never close to winning that game. Yes they came out and cut the lead in half quickly. We responded and pushed the lead back up to as much as 18 with 9 minutes left. They never got it to single digits again and only had it for single digits for about 20 seconds of the second half. We didn't just hang on. As far as missing their two best players, Anthony is obviously their best player but who are you considering their second? They were missing Manley who was a sub 10mpg player last year, Harris who was playing 12 mpg, and Platek scoring 4 ppg while playing 17 mpg. Even recruiting wise those 3 weren't UNC's top recruits. Manley and Platek were rated significantly below Brooks and Harris was a good freshman recruit but he was a good bit lower rated than Bacot. Am I missing something? I mean the number of injuries hurt them due to the way they want to play and Anthony is a huge loss but I don't think you need to oversell one of their players to make that point. Yes the injuries take away some of the shine of the win, but it was still a dominating road win in the ACC in a game where they got a career night from one of their players and we got almost nothing from our top scorer. It'd be different it we barely squeeked out a nail biter of a win. A dominant start to finish road win is something to be very excited about. [/QUOTE]
