There is no other way to describe what happened last night as Carolina's biggest fear coming into this season (post play) was put on national display all game long. Michigan State defenders were in Mayes and Berry's grills all night giving them very little room to work in and with nobody coming close to hitting a three the inside blocks would prove to be the major difference in the contest.
UNC got very few 2nd shots and the interior players on defense gave up numerous 2nd and 3rd shots. The bigs gave the Heels nothing inside offensively putting the pressure on the perimeter players yet again and the tremendous in your face defense played by the Spartans had UNC wavering the white flag all night.
The Carolina coaching staff cannot cover up the green freshmen in the middle and unless Sean May can dress again the area in the paint will be the Achilles heel for Carolina all season.
