This is the last challenging non-conference opponent for UNC, and the first six game stretch of their ACC schedule is ridiculously easy. I'd hate to see them put together a long winning streak and build some confidence. They're no threat to beat us in Cameron, of course, but they could easily roll in there at 7-1 in conference. Let's go Longhorns!!
But I would also like to see Texas win of course. Go to Hell Carolina, Go to Hell.
Hook 'em, 'Horns.
UNC's got Zeller and that's about it. No one else on that team looks like they are really any good.
Its weird to think that guys like McDonald and Barnes were on our radar and highly coveted, and now they look like run of the mill ACC starters. I can't imagine all the talent evaluators AND our own staff had it all wrong this whole time. Daggumit, there must be another explanation
Texas also OWNING UNC on the boards, particularly the O-boards. I also don't see any camaraderie on this team. Zeller, their best player, hits the floor fighting for the board, its a TV timeout and the other four UNC players start walking to the bench and Zeller helps himself up.
I don't say this to pile on Roy "just cause," but I truly believe this is on Roy, and he should be doing a better job with this talent.
Let's Go Texas!
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!

I'm a huge Texas fan today. A Carolina loss would improve the dreary rainy day outside!
^Zing!
Texas went cold for the last 7 minutes of the half, turned the ball over, and let carolina back into it.
I don't think I've seen UNC take one 3-point shot...
check that: they're 0-3

I just caught the half-time stats and saw Texas with 15 team fouls! WTH? Looks like they are on the way to fouling out about 4 players, just like ky did when they played on the 'heels "real" home court.
Wonder if Dean Smith is in attendance, just so he can re-live the "good times" he and Rick Barnes had.
A couple of weeks ago I would have agreed with you but a win against KY followed by a win against Texas could give them a lot of confidence. Their season is long from over and turnaround is still very possible.
This game could go a long way in determining if unc is a solid ncaa team or a NIT team. Momentum is a tricky thing!
What's up with Roy? He has called 2 time outs during the game!
Great win by Texas. That was maybe the best coaching job I have seen by Barnes. Roy was his usual self!
