Off the cuff: Wasn't this supposed to be a three-point shooting team? Carolina only shot 15 threes against Miami and hit only six of them. Unless McAdoo is going to take over games the way Hansbrough and Zeller did, the Tar Heels are going to have to shoot (and hit) more threes. The problem of course is that all it takes is for a couple of guys to be cold from outside and you lose. Only three UNC players took threes against Miami with Bullock going 3 of 8, Hairston going 1 of 4 and Paige going 2 of 3. Of course the Tar Heels were without Leslie McDonald, who was sitting out with a knee injury. No one else took up the slack. McAdoo, who hit only 5 of 14 shots, should be hitting 55 percent of his shots. That's what Tyler Zeller shot when he was at Carolina and the so-called experts think McAdoo is better than Zeller. Bullock took 16 shots and hit only four of them while Strickland took only one shot the whole game and missed it.
