Bad start leaves too much ground for UNLV to make up in loss at UNC

Posted Dec 29, 2012
The trouble started immediately. Although it was North Carolina missing a starter and No. 20 UNLV getting one back, the Tar Heels were the ones who looked like they knew what they were doing. They just looked like they knew what they wanted to run on offense and how to guard their opponent, which is more than the Rebels could say in the first 10 minutes and most of the first half.
