I am not sure this performance will win vs MD. We need to get in the gym and zero in our shots and do a much better job of valuing the ball. Got to do it!

I wish we could have Nyla Harris every year. She has been key for this teams season. She is a great fit.

Congratulations Nyla on the double/double. Keep playing hard.

I ran into a Leatherneck fan today at the Carrboro Farmer's market. We chatted for a few minutes during which he lamented that he wished that more of their shooters had shown up last night but allowed as to how our team's defense had a lot to do with that. He said that their players had a "fantastic" experience and that they were treated very well here. He also said that they were hoping to get to go to a "blue blood" school for their regional and were very excited when they learned they were headed to Chapel Hill.

The game against Maryland is going to be a physical one. It is going to come down to rebounding on both ends of the floor. Making shots and FT's, and playing to our standard. Go Heels!
