Perhaps bizarre rituals will be necessary to ignite UNC's offense
Boston College managed only 27 percent field goal shooting, a dreadful number and a very surprising one for a team that has been highly efficient all season. John Henson and Tyler Zeller bolster a tremendous one-two defensive punch on the interior, spearheading perhaps Carolina's finest defense since Roy Williams arrived in Chapel Hill and at least since the 2005 season.
The question now is when, or even if, UNC will begin to hit some shots. The Heels may be able to eke out victories over weak ACC foes, but N.C. State in Raleigh and Maryland (always a tough matchup) and Duke at home will pose much more difficult challenges. At the minimum, it's very difficult to envision the current version of the Tar Heels winning two games in the NCAA Tournament and advancing to the final 16.
Carolina's next opportunity to get well will be Wednesday night against the Wolfpack. To view the UNC/BC box score, click here.
