Off the cuff: With one more loss this season, Carolina will have lost as many games as it has in the previous three seasons combined. UNC coach Roy Williams once again talked about this being the most frustrated he's ever been as a coach. He said he really thought the Heels would play well and win. Further he said he thought it would lead to five straight ACC wins and an NCAA berth. Instead, Carolina is ensured of a low seed in the ACC tournament. David Wear was hurt (hip) in practice on Friday and was limited against Boston College. In his place, Zeller, just back from injury, was rusty but still managed nine points and seven rebounds. Carolina fans have never really seen a healthy Zeller for long. If he gets and stays healthy, Carolina can still win some games this season. He's that big a difference. The losing is even more frustrating because if the Tar Heels were even slightly below average, they'd win some of these games. For instance, Will Graves, who is supposed to be Carolina's shooting ace, was just two of six from the field, including four misses from three-point land. If he had hit just one of those threes and Henson had hit his free throws in that late-game one-and-one situation, the Heels would have won. |
