Aces can't cool the Heels

Posted Dec 9, 2010
The game plan was for the Aces to run their motion offense, perhaps make the Tar Heels (6-3) lose patience on defense, and aim to keep the final score of the basketball game in the 50s. Alas, the Aces (3-4) weren't even half successful, falling a point shy of that range and finishing a whopping 27 points off the Tar Heels' scoring pace in a 76-49 loss. (Evansville Courier & Press)
