North Carolina running up the score?

From here on out I don't think there will be any garbage time. But yes, I think they were running it up on Arkansas. Classless if you ask me.

They were worried that their reserves would have given up 60 points in three minutes.

Sorry guys... I'm not a Heel fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I just didn't see it that way. Roy played everybody on the bench. Now, maybe you don't think he started subbing early enough but I didn't see Arkansas stop trying to score.

I guess it gets back to whose job it is to hold the score down. It's the NCAA tourney. If you don't want UNC to score over 100...then play a little defesnse!!! (which I suppose you could argue is how much defense Arkansas played all day - a little)

They left their starters in well after the game had been decided and kept the petal to the floor. This may come back to bite them if a starter gets injured in garbage time.

Sounds an awful lot like the New England Patriots of 07. Maybe that's a sign they'll have a similar letdown?

I still think they'll win it all.
