Joseph Forte - the Ram Man's Player of the Game

Then it got worse.  With Virginia's quickness and pressure defense, the Tar Heel turnovers began to add up.  A quick, athletic team still exposes a Carolina weakness.

With about 4 minutes to go in the half, the Blue Team made an appearance.  They held their own for the most part, but towards the end of their stint Virginia was off and running again.

Down as much as 18 points, the Heels score the last 5 points of the half.  Down 46-33 going into the locker room, the Heels need to regroup and make a strong run in the opening 5 minutes of the second half.

Virginia started the second half ice cold.  Not being able to set their pressure defense, the Heels chip into the lead getting it down to as little as 6 points.

Who is this Friel?  Three treys in a row, he put the Wahoos up by 15 with 7 minutes to go.  That is the spark Virginia needed to regain control of the game.

With 5:25 to go, Virginia is up 18 and coasting to victory.  There was little to do but foul and Virginia made enough at the line to seal the victory.

Nice try Heels!!!
