I expected the bad start at North Carolina's place last year, but didn't expect it at home this year. We don't score for the first 5 minutes. Fortunately, we held them scoreless for the first 3. Down 7-0 after 4 minutes.

Chancler finally hits a corner 3 to get us on the board. Chancler then steals it, drives into the lane and kicks it out to an open Singleton for another 3. 7-6 with 14:30 to go in the half.

A minute later, Chancler picks up his 2nd foul. Down 10-6.

Not the start I expected, but we are in position to make a move. Down 19-18 with 9 minutes to go as our starters rest for the first time.

6 minutes left, up 24-21, and my starters seem ready to come back into the game. They are feeding off the crowd.


Ramos with 2 3's gets them the lead, but we close strong. We are up 33-32 at the half. They are doing an incredible job of collapsing in the middle and preventing us from driving into the lane.

Chancler is getting some open looks from their defense and he is hitting a fair share. He is the player of the half with 12 points, 1 board, and 2 steals. He is 4 of 9 for the game, 4 of 8 from the arc.



After being neutralized in the 1st half, Peterson is dominating the 2nd half as they are no longer collapsing multiple guys on him. 44-34 with 15 minutes to go in the game.


My subs come in with 11 minutes to go, up 52-41.


The bench plays so well they get to finish the game. We win the game 73-48!


Peterson was the player of the game with 19 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. He shot 7 of 11, 0 of 1 (it was a halftime halfcourt buzzer beater), and 5 of 6 from the line.

Chancler with 16 points, 1 board, 1 assist, and 2 steals. He shot 6 of 11, 4 of 8, and 0 of 0.

Singleton with 3 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, and 2 steals. He shot 1 of 7, 1 of 4, and 0 of 0.

Pardon with 4 poins, 4 boards, 2 assists, and 1 steal. He shot 1 of 6, 0 of 1, and 2 of 2.

Sockwell with 6 points, 8 boards, and 1 block. He shot 3 of 5.

Sutton led the bench with 9. Abram had 7, Henning 5, Gardner 4, and Bruce 2. Very strong final 10 minutes from the bench.
