UNC was really frustrating me, especially late in the 2nd half when they went up 5 to down 3 in the blink of an eye.
The team is playing MUCH better, but some of the dumb mistakes still pops up too often.
Larry Drew II and Dexter Strickland are really turning into fine players though. Will Graves has some great potential, but he needs to play within himself and stop trying to force the issue.
Tyler Zeller really stepped up in the OT, just as Larry Drew II stepped up late in the 2nd to send the game into Ot (though, he should have drove on that last possession to put pressure on the defense.)
I'm glad we won, but I'm not exactly happy with how we played.
Also, Marcus Ginyard. I love the guy for what he's done and what he's been through while at UNC, but I cringe every time he touches the ball. He almost had TWO costly turnovers in this game. He can't dribble and he can't shoot to well either. He used to be a great defender, but I think the injuries have slowed him down a bit.
I really want UNC to win on Thursday. I dunno, while watching this game I was treating it like a freaking tournament game, even getting pissed off when we lost the lead and equally pumped when we tied the game.
With that said, we are lucky! That should have been a foul on Graves at the end. I honestly thought he fell on his own during the scramble, but the replay showed Graves reaching out and the Rhode Island player tripping over his hand.
I'll take it though
