Two Games In One

The Tarheels win over the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday January 19th featured two games for the price of one. There was the first half in which UNC played outstanding defense, forced Maryland into 15 turnovers and got their hands on several more balls, Reggie Bullock shot lights out and outscored Maryland by himself 21-20, and had a 42-20 lead at halftime. The second game that was played out in the second half saw Maryland be allowed back into the game, the 'Heels only score 20 points on 8-34 shooting and 1-10 from the three point line, and hold on to win 62-52. This game was the best and the worst the Tarheels had to offer. I am hoping that the first half was a glimpse of what the Tarheels can become on a consistent basis. Reggie Bullock led the way with a career high 24 points (21 in the first half) and James Michael McAdoo had 19 points and 11 rebounds.
