State-UNC at the half
Ahhh, it's so nice when a rivalry gets back to living up to the hype.
So far that's been the case in the first 20 minutes here at the RBC, where it's 38-36 State.
Couple of quick notes before I run back out to the floor.
1) UNC - #1 in the nation in rebounding margin - has 9 (9!!!) rebounds. State has 17.
2) Courtney Fells has apparently found himself, for a half at least. 13 points and tons of previously hidden emotion being shown.
3) If UNC wins this game, it'll be because of the PG position. Atsur just can't stick with Lawson while playing D on one leg. Lawson has 12 points and 4 assists. Atsur picked up his 3rd foul just before the half. It's a conundrum for State. When Atsur's out, the offense falls apart. But when he's in, who's going to guard Lawson? Wonder if they'll use an old Valvano technique and have him guard a big man just to change things up.
4) Red jacket today for Sidney. Satellites are picking it up from space. Sweet.
