COnsider the '07 season when UNC won in Chapel Hill by 19 but missed the Wayne Ellington 3 that would have won it in Raleigh. These two teams/two years are quite similar. UNC _cannot_ shoot from the right side of the court and Marshall cannot stay in front of his man. Why State didn't exploit this last night is bewildering. For the first qtr of the game it was a very tight game. The difference came when Howell and Leslie were stymied inside and State resorted to some impatient outside shots. When they didn't fall, State didn't get back on defense. Carolina only scored 0.87 points per possession, which is a problem. Hopefully they can integrate Bullock into the offense better than last night. UNC's interior D won that game last night. If Gottfried will watch game film of Carolina and realize that he needs to use Lorenzo Brown to penetrate and dish, then State will draw many more fouls inside instead of getting stuffed. Feb 21 is a long, long way off. These two teams will be very different by then, too. Either State will lose its legs due to it's 7-man rotation or they will jel. Carolina will probably only be challenged at Duke, at UVA, and at NCSU. They will lose one or two of those. So, we'll see.
