UNC 106 — Nevada 70

I think I will start to pester my friends in Occoneechee lodge about a flap if the Tar Heels win the basketball national championship this year.
Nevada leaves Chapel Hill as the latest victim of the Dean Dome and the Tar Heels. It was a close game most of the first half. Then it seems the Tar Heels remembered Coach Williams’ goal in practice the day after an uninspired victory over Nichols State (to see how many players he could make puke) and turned up the heat. Lead by Ty Lawson, a three point game was a 14 point rout by the break.
After that the Tar Heels did not look back. It soon became apparent in the second half that the only suspense left was when Carolina would break the century mark… again.
The AP’s coverage of this game can be found here.
The Tar Heels improve to 12-0. The last three teams to survive undefeated past Christmas (’93, ‘95, and ‘98) went on to the Final Four. That’s a tradition I hope will continue. The Tar Heels next face Valparaiso on December 30th.
