Sunday survival

Posted Nov 16, 2009
Marcus Ginyard said he could feel it during warm-ups before Sunday's game against Valparaiso. He could sense he and his Tar Heel teammates didn't have an urgency to play or an excitement to be out on the court. And that lack of energy carried into the game. The sixth-ranked Tar Heels played a sluggish first half and then allowed the Crusaders to trim a 24-point second half lead to nine in the final two minutes before hanging on for an 88-77 victory.
