Heels beat the UConn Huskies, 77-70 in a key game. A big non-conference road win in a tough environment against the defending national champions. I was a little worried early in the second half but the Tar Heels went to what was working: powering the ball inside and hitting good open looks. Forget Packer. So what if the Huskies are the leading shot-blocking team? What are you supposed to do, just not shoot? Good for Rashad to get some confidence back after poor shooting recently.
The Welcome Back Award goes to Jawad Williams. Nice to see you again, fella. Kudos to David and Jackie for playing under the weather.
