Nothing Comes Easy

I don't believe anything is going to come easy for the North Carolina Tarheels this basketball season. The 'Heels had to go to Overtime to beat the Virginia Tech Hokies today 72-60 and the Hokies are one of the bottom feeders in the ACC this season. James Michael McAdoo led the way with 22 points, most on 15 foot jumpers from the free throw line against Virginia Tech's zone defense. Marcus Paige had a career high 19 points, hit 4 of 10 three-pointers, had 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. He keeps improving game-by-game. The 'Heels actually managed to get to the free throw line 27 times (about ten more times than their average), hitting 19, and for a change, their free throw shooting put them over the top and they were able to finish off the game. Jackson Simmons got a career high 18 minutes and only scored 2 points but I am still impressed by his play. He is always around the ball and always seems to be in position to make a play.
