Berry comes back to his home state and hopefully produces like he did in the last game minus the 5 turnovers. FSU has a NBA like height team so it is not going to be easy sledding for Hicks, James and Johnson in the paint so outside shooting by Carolina will determine if the game is close or not. Berry, Paige, Jackson. Britt or Pinson have to step up and make some important perimeter shots. Maybe like the last couple of games Berry and Paige will continue to go to the hole where they either score or get fouled resulting in free throws. If Johnson or Hicks get into any type of foul trouble it will be a long night for the Tarheels. This may be one of those games where Paige will just have to take over the game for UNC to win...

Looks like FSU'S smallest starter stands at 6'4. You might remember ratham-mayes who only dropped 35 on UNC at the Smith Center last season.
 
Paige a trifecta 13-2 from the right wing. FSU getting a bunch of rebounds and close in shots but there is a lid on the basket so far.
 
Florida State just looks uninterested in getting back on defense. Carolina is KILLING them there. GO HEELS!
 
21-9 but Johnson and Berry already have 2 fouls and FSU is in the bonus with over 10 minutes left in the half. UNC has 3 or 4 blocks already. Johnson holding his own in the paint getting a bunch of boards.
 
So, defender jumps INTO Big James and gets the foul?!? I HATE the way officials bail the offensive player out doing that!
 
Get a good run to end the half right here....8 fouls called on UNC on 8 different players...Jackson needs some shots to fall and he will be fine...
 
27-13 and could be a larger lead but UNC keeps having unforced turnovers trying to throw interior passes over the FSU redwoods in the paint.
 
Went from totally in control to a slug fest. Gotta stay focused and finish this half on a run guys!
