Heels beaten at own game

Posted Mar 12, 2006

There’s a scoreboard of sorts on the wall outside the UNC locker room at the Smith Center. On it are listed categories such as deflections, screens and charges taken. They’re know as “hustle stats” and the Tar Heels take great pride in them. Friday, when it counted most in their Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinal game against Boston College, they were outhustled and outplayed in nearly every category in an 85-83 loss.
