After Friday night's triumph over Kansas, there was bound to be a hangover. This one may have been worse than Stu's in Hangover Part II.

The Dean Dome was half full. Seth Trimble wasn't in the line-up, contributing his normal energy and zip in transition. And Radford's zone kept UNC from attacking with its usual gusto. After taking the opening possession in the second half and throwing the ball into coverage and giving up an easy lay-up, Carolina sleepwalked to a +2 margin for the half. It was uninspiring basketball.

A game like this against any number of ACC teams will result in a double-digit loss. UNC cannot afford to grow complacent, especially three games into the season.
