"Short" being the operative word.  If we have just one more big man, we win going away.  They killed us on the boards. :frown:

Very encouraged by this team's progress, though.  When they get Bone back from injury, they're going to be really tough. :thumbup:

Great effort......man if they could have closed this game out it cold have been a season changer. This young team is fun to watch and will continue to improve.

Great effort I thought. I thought we were gassed at the end of first half and the last ten minutes of the game.

We miss Bone badly and obviously size matters. Their offensive strategy seemed to be shoot, rebound, repeat.

The last play would have been nice if we could have Villanova'd them - it was there with Fulkerson, even more than Kris Jenkins last year in the NC game, because of Turner's deeper penetration.

Pleased with the way this team is playing. Looking forward to watching the remainder of the season.

UNC had 29 offensive rebounds.....we had 10. There's the difference.

Yeah, tough to beat any team when they get 19 more possessions than you do.

This team has no business actually being in a road game against a No. 7 North Carolina team...or any other ranked team. Yet they've played three ranked teams and have taken three ranked teams to the wire.

Barnes is doing good things with this team.
