The team just had no ability to create offense, so Barnes and Bullock were forced to take jumpers (which Bullock hit a bunch of big ones).
I really don't think we're going to see White do much offensively, mainly because Kansas has even quicker guards than Ohio. If UNC wins, it'll be because of one (or more) of the following:
1. Foul trouble by Withey and/or Robinson
2. Too many turnovers and/or bad shots by Kansas's guards
3. Great shooting from Bullock, Barnes, and/or Hairston
They'll need White to continue to at least be a non-factor, but that'll be tougher against Taylor and Johnson than it was against Cooper (who was just awful) and Kellogg.
But we'll see how it plays out at 5:05 today now that we know Marshall is out.
