The UNC Tarheels helped UNC-A open up their new arena, Kimmel Arena, last night and it was an electric small college atmosphere. An announced sellout of 3200 people and they were rockin' the place.
The 'Heels had too much size for UNC-A and they just kept pounding it on the inside. Tyler Zeller had a game high 27 points, John Henson had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Harrison Barnes had 17 points in the 91-75 win. Point Guard Kendall Marshall only had 6 points but 15 assists and only one turnover.
After the first two games, the Tarheels most glaring weaknesses are turnovers and outside shooting. 31 turnovers in the first two games is alot but with the Tarheels fast break offense, you have to expect a little higher than average turnover count. The problem in the first two games is that they have really not had the opportunity to run their break.
In the first couple of games, they really haven't needed points from the outside but it would be nice if they could develop someone to come in and fill it up from the outside. Freshman P.J. Hairston looks like he has a nice outside stroke and Reggie Bullock has the potential to be our "Microwave" coming off the bench. Harrison Barnes is the only starter that can hit threes.
