There were times last year when Edwards was a little quiet in big games. He's not backing down from anyone tonight. Solid performance in an otherwise disappointing game.

That kind of night: UNC's Davis dribbles away from the hoop well behind the 3-point line, realizes the shot clock is expiring, and heaves a moonshot over Yi─ƒito─ƒlu ... and clangs it in off the glass.

Cross drives to the net and knocks heads with UNC's Davis, who goes down bleeding on the court ... and gets called for the foul.
Up 19 with 2:03 to go, got to think Davis's night is over; leaking oil as he heads to the locker room for repairs.

Better in that 2nd half but this team is just not ready for "prime time" ACC play. Cross and Harris played pretty well but far too many just looked like they were in over their heads and Boopie has had a couple of really poor shooting nights against the blue bloods of this conference. We out rebounded UNC and took 12 more shots than they did but still lost by double digits. Just not going to win shooting 33% and 22% from three. These lopsided losses to Duke and UNC and poor shooting hurt especially after our guys shot lights out in the games against BC and Longwood. Big difference in the level of defensive pressure

I guess team is still behind talent wise for ACC play
