[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Nice start 6-0 Texas!!

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Three by Lewis!!

14-4 Texas!!

I know this UNC team isn't stellar...but who is this team that they are playing? Is the the same Texas JV HS team that started the season 5-4? So far so good, at least.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Missed a couple of threes and NC is making a run.

14-8 Texas with 13:45 in the first half.

The announcer called what I hate about Barnes' coaching style - we refuse to set ball screens.
Why he refuses to coach that? Hell if I know.

Sorry guys for being a downer but how can we hold this lead like this?
Happy to be proven wrong though.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Texas now leads 25-16 with 7:50 to play!!

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Woooooo!! 33-18 Texas with 5:18 left in the first half. NC has 10 turnovers so far.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Did I mention I love Coach Barnes!

 

[Dogbert]

Whoa! Horns looking really good!

 

[jagdilly69]

The Varsity team showed up!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Steal by Ridley and score then followed up by NC score then followed by Texas score.

Texas leads 41-23 with 3:15 left in the first half.

I agree. Who is this team?

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Wow, what a quick scoring streak by NC!

44-31 Texas with 50 seconds left in the first half.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Surprising to say the least. Awesome job 'Horns

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

46-33 Horns at half. Something tells me the Heels woke up just before the break. The Horns will have to step it up in the second half to weather the storm.

Let's Hook 'Em baby!!!!

 

[jagdilly69]

First 4-5 minutes of the 2nd half are pivotal.

 

[HornsForever'93]

They will blow it. Running no offense eventually catches up to you when the shooting luck runs out

 

[jagdilly69]

No offense....ever...

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

I lost track of time in the excitement, but Texas now leads 70-62 with 2:19 left.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Hang on 'Horns

 

[jagdilly69]

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

73-65 Texas with 1:21 to go!!! Horns playing conservatively now.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Exclamation Point

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

McAdoo misses two FT! Texas 75-65!

Papa makes 1-2 then rebound and two!!!!!

Texas leads 78-67 after two NC ft

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Two FT and TX leads 80-67 and have the ball..

Foul with TX shooting two!

 

[FWHORN]

Could be a season changing win after that extraordinary collapse last week against UCLA. 1 minute to go.

Interestingly, Rick Barnes has owned UNC at Texas with the exception of last year.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

North Carolina never lead in this game while Texas gets the huge win 85-67!!!!


Excellent win Horns!

 

[BabHorn]

not too shabby for a team without an offensive plan.

Good signature win before conference.

 

[FWHORN]

Huge win. I may have to delete my end of the streak post regarding the NCAA appearances. If this team can play this way the rest of the way and get Myck back they may well have a shot at the NCAA tournament after all.

 

[el squared]

Awesome game and the crowd was into it!
Too bad We lost Kabongo for the season ( if Yahoo correct )
A great effort!
