Message: [QUOTE="VaBeachOrFan, post: 2150323, member: 1274"] Two reasons they lost (besides the whistle-happy refs and W-G's untimely ankle injury): They went toe-to-toe during the first half and outrebounded the Heels, who have lost every time they were outrebounded, but the Zags' inexplicable lack of energy coming out of the break gave UNC some confidence and momentum they never relinquished. The other factor: UNC's last-second loss to Villanova last year likely motivated the Tar Heels just enough during crunch time to see it through. A stinging lost in the biggest game can have that effect.-VBOF [/QUOTE]
