FINAL: UNC wins 82-49 and will face No. 5 seed Maryland in Chapel Hill on Sunday.
Four Tar Heels finished in double figures, with Nyla Harris leading the way with 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the floor and 5-for-6 from the FT line.
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 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!
