Off the cuff: After seeing 32 three pointers go up and only nine free throws attempted, this doesn't seem like a Carolina basketball team. But that might be the identity of this particular team. The problem with shooting teams is that eventually you'll be cold against a good team and lose. The Tar Heels, so far at least, don't shoot well from the free throw line - averaging just over 50 percent - so maybe it's good they don't get to the line a lot. Still, you've got to figure that this team is going to need some strong inside play from James Michael McAdoo, Joel James and somebody else - Desmond Hubert or Brice Johnson - to have a chance at winning the ACC regular season or tournament title, and going deep in the NCAA tournament. After the game, Coach Williams expressed shock that Maryland was leaving the ACC and didn't seem too pleased about it. He indicated that if Maryland doesn't want to be in the ACC, then he doesn't want them to be in the ACC.
