Get Kansas off the TV. Its time to get your HORNS up.
 
My dogs nap time ends soon. I think she hates UT sports because she can never sleep when they are on.
 
Bradley certainly isn't hesitating to shoot. Now if he can just hit something. Hamilton comes in and true to form immediately jacks up an ill advised three.
 
Gary Johnson with two great feeds to Pittman. Hamilton with a dunk but some jackassery after getting offensive rebounds. Poor shooting overall. Only offense coming from penetration and transition.

UNC attacking James early, trying to use Thompson's size advantage. Not too much success with that. Davis getting open inside is working better.
 
Bradley and Hamilton are a combined 1-10. With Bradley it's just not dropping on good looks 15 feet out or so. With Hamilton it's throwing up crap.
 
Great drive by Bradley who is taking over for TExas on offense.

Jai Lucas came in and immediately looked like a defensive liability, being shot right over on the perimeter and being beaten into the lane, creating an open shooter on the rotation.
 
When you are on a pace for 27 offensive rebounds, you have a chance to stay with anyone, no matter how poorly you shoot.

Hamilton comes back in and immediately makes a stupid turnover trying to force stuff by driving into three players. He needs to sit until he can control himself.
 
That's a great half of basketball - the great news is that we still have so much more improvement to make. Some bad decisions shooting by the freshmen, but really a good job on defense. Carolina playing sloppy has helped.

Let's put another half together like that last 10 minutes and we're on the way!
 
this had all the feeling in the world of a game where we had lost our mojo and where we were finally not going to score when they got it to 9 and you suddenly look up and we're leading by 4 or 5 in a game we've completely controlled. we've forgotten how to stop them. and now, of course, they've got 2 ft's to get it to 5.

and i'm always amazed how bad college teams are at recognizing situations. carolina is on a roll, has cut it to 7, we're reeling a bit, and what do we do on offense? we give it to wangmene for a post up? why not just hand it to the ref and jog to the other end of the court. terrible play to run at that time.
