[I]Breakdown by Quarters[/I] (Points scored between the beginning of the game and the 10 minute mark of the first half, then halftime, then the 10 minute mark of the second half, the end of regulation and then overtime of there was one) 9-19, 23-22, 19-22, 23-15 [B]Fouls[/B] (Two point shots and free throws attempted per times fouled.)

[B]Comments: [/B] - Talk about efficiency: Oshae Brissett had no fouls, no turnovers and was 6 for 6 from the free throw line. His only negatives were missing 7 of 11 field goals, including the shocking air ball on an open three at the end, (he’d made three treys in this game and is 13/30 = 43% in his last 5 games). - We had only one unforced turnover –but the Heels got 9 steals. - UNC got 30 points in unsettled situations, (turnovers and offensive rebounds) to our 19 – in a four point game. - We’ve lost the “manufactured possession” stat (our rebounds plus their turnovers) four times this season and are 0-4 in those games, (Wake 1, Notre Dame, Florida State and last night). - North Carolina is the most famous fast-breaking team in the country but we fully matched them and even exceeded them slightly in this game with 8 fast break points in the one less opportunity: 34, (defensive rebounds, steal and blocks although the Heels also run on made baskets, which made this even more remarkable). - We finally made a shot to close a half as other teams had =been doing to us but were still out-scored in last possessions, 3-4. We are -14 in last possession points this year, 9firs thalf, second half and OT). - Fouls are not just a measure of how whistle-happy or biased the referees are. They are a measure of efficient basketball. Our Big Three of Battle, Howard and Brissett committed 3 fouls in 120 minutes. The supporting cast of Chukwu, Dolezaj, Moyer and Sidibie committed 13 fouls in 80 minutes. [/QUOTE]
