Lucas: The Details

Given UNC's rebounding shortcomings the first three game, Carolina was well aware Georgia would try to get second chances. For the first 30 minutes of the game, the Tar Heels did a credible job on the backboards. With just over nine minutes left, Georgia had only five second-chance points, a manageable number. But then things—the details—fell apart. (GoHeels.com)

'November To Remember' for Michael Malone’s First UNC Basketball Squad

Despite its considerable growing pains, UNC has a great shot at starting this season 6-0.

Then they’ll be much bigger home favorites against both Marshall (Nov. 20) and Monmouth (Nov. 23). (Chapelboro.com)
