Recap: Butler 82 UNC 71

Posted Nov 20, 2012
UNC basically played as bad as they could play for the first 30 minutes of this game. Honestly, this is not a totally unexpected occurrence considering the makeup of this Tar Heel team and where they are at in terms of development. There will be games where the players' heads are not on straight and they fail to match what the other team is doing in terms of toughness and intensity. (Tar Heel Blog)
