Discussion
This game was yet another where the stats don't reflect game because it wasn't even close. NCSU was awful for most of the game, but UNC realized this in the 4th quarter and relaxed in a big way, allowing it to end up being a 10 point game.

I'm introducing a new stat. It is the Rebounds from (our) Missed Shots (%RMS). It's calculated by dividing the Offensive Rebounds by our Missed Field Goals (FGA-FGM). I don't have figures for 947 games in this stat, as I just started including offensive rebounds in my database last season. However with regards to this period, we had a 86th percentile performance. It seemed like NCSU never got any of our misses.

This was a slow game, and while we didn't fall in love with the 3 as much as in recent games, we did have an annoyingly low Assists Per Field Goal ratio of 0.24. That's the 818th worst performance in the last 947 games. We did an exceptional job shooting the ball inside the arc: 65% FGAs there and 91% from the free throw line.
