Don't forget Claude hustle plays when he came in ..

Amazing, timely defensive span. UNC was faced with the prospect of needing to foul 3 times to get another chance to score points. Carolina didn't have to use any for that purpose because of that quality defense.

Very good energetic minutes.

Powell had been struggling as of late. He even gave up multiple straight line drives during the BC game. It was great to see him get past all that and make some huge plays late when the team needed him.

While I agree that those were important plays, they were all while the clock was off.
I am still perplexed as to why we allowed BC to casually dribble the ball up court and waste a bunch of time at the end of regulation in a tied game.
We had two fouls to give and should have been scrambling to force a turnover or create a held ball situation.
We were lucky they were inept in their late game offensive strategy.
Carolina acted like OT was our only play
