Again, not seeing the game at all, just from comments here, it doesn't seem that we played that poorly. So happy that Homeschool (JJ) carried us tonight - maybe this will get him going.
Berry seems in a funk right now.... maybe a few days off from travel, and getting back to Chapel Hill will cure a lot of ills and get people's heads right. Who knows how this team plays on Saturday, but I don't think it can be overstated how much of a difference there is in the psyche of players, team etc. between winning ugly and losing ugly. If they had lost this game, I think it'd be rock bottom for this team. Maybe that is still to come. But it still counts in the win column just as much as the win over Syracuse or FSU or whoever. And they can still learn a lot.
And I think Berry, Paige, and Jackson are on the verge of clicking together. I agree with giving Meeks minutes to Hicks for the most part.
And without seeing the game, I hate to say this, but I am starting to wonder about the anti-UNC conspiracy officiating stuff. It is just insane / unexplainable how badly we've been getting hosed these last 3 games. These officials could not possibly defend their actions if they had to. Plus, the way they call offensive fouls on us, let other teams drive, charge, and "draw a foul", yet our guards get mugged and its play on - its hard not to believe there is some sort of coordinated conspiracy. Which sucks so bad because it obviously drives our best players to the bench, gives the other team a load of FTs (the only way for example that ND had a chance against us).... and makes the Heels players tentative, one arm tied behind their back, cautious and wondering what they can get away with in playing, without being screwed by some official with an agenda to make the home team and home fans like him. Sick
