UNC Lacked Energy in Victory Over N.C. State
Posted Feb 19, 2009
North Carolina deserves a bit of criticism for their often lackadaisical play in a 89-80 victory over N.C. State, an intense rivalry that dates back to 1913. The game was the 10th straight win for the Tar Heels, all in conference play, but the lack of defensive intensity for long stretches of the game was troubling. The home crowd wasn't much help, as they apparently didn't want to disturb any of their neighbors by yelling too loudly.
