UNC effort underwhelming

Posted Jan 5, 2009
You could not fool the fans in the Smith Center Sunday night as North Carolina absorbed a loss that raised real doubts about this team. Just look around inside the arena, the way fans watch the action with their faces so intense. Fans in the Triangle know what they are watching at a basketball game. And no one watching Sunday night in Chapel Hill was impressed by the effort North Carolina displayed in a limp loss to Boston College. (WRAL Sports Fan)
