Post Morteum. Decided at the last minute to escape Raleigh and go to the bowels of liberalism and lack of academic integrity….
Game was pretty for about the first half. Then, it seemed that the ladies got a bad case of the malady that Gott said plagued the men. They just looked TIRED and Lost (lack of focus is the term). That lead to a complete meltdown….the China Syndrome happened to us. Went to the half with a zillion to one run (actually down 16 points).
Miracles of miracles….they cut that to only 8 within the first couple of minutes and looked like they were on a tear. UNC wisely called time out. We fizzled.
However, about 10 minutes to go, we chipped at it….but to no avail.
There was a LOUD contingent of students (bussed in I think) and they had a LOT of enthusiasm.
DW and I did our post game….the Ladies were either tired and not as sharp from the celebration after the Cuse game or else they used all their pent-up adrenelin on UNC during the first minutes and it took 20 minutes before they got another recharge….and the damage was done.
Only OTHER comment….I hate LIGHT BLUE. My wife said the LAST BB game she saw in Chapel Hill was exactly 11 years ago. I was traveling and she got prime seats (UNC was LOUSY) from her boss and took relatives and our VERY PG daughter. My daughter allegedly said…”I can’t let my little boy grow up in an environment like this….”. I would point out that he is a mix…his dad is a loyal UNC grad and my Meredith grad daughter is about as fanatical about her Wolfpack as he is about his Tar Heels.
Time will heal the pain….Time will also allow Coach Moore to rebuild. He did get a LITTLE hostile. He was “critiquing” the Zeb’s interpretations of certain on court activities. One Zeb gave him a warning. Several minutes or perhaps in the next half, he took a stronger exception to another mis-interpretation and was T’ed up. Hit one…missed one…it helped some.
