More on the game tonight against UNC. I think we have a really good shot at them. A very good one even though they are essentially playing a home game. They are not as tall as Ohio State but from the following article like to run which is just fine with Coach McGuff:biggrin:
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Speed will be at a premium when Ohio State takes on North Carolina.
The fourth-seeded Tar Heels (25-8) face the fifth-seeded Buckeyes (24-10) on Monday night in the second round of the NCAA Tournament’s Greensboro Region.

The Tar Heels have an established identity of running under Hall of Fame coach Sylvia Hatchell.

The Buckeyes have a powerful offense that ranks fifth nationally in points per game (80.9) and features the nation’s leading scorer.

The winner will need the three-day break before the regional semifinals.

Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff quipped Sunday that “the shot clock operator tomorrow could probably stay home.”

Ohio State has scored at least 80 points in half of its games this season, compiling a 15-2 record in those contests. The Buckeyes have scored at least 74 points in each of their last eight games and have topped 82 points six times during that span.

They were up to their usual tricks in their 90-80 victory over 12th-seeded James Madison in the first round, shooting 48 percent from the floor as three players scored at least 20 points.

Freshman guard Kelsey Mitchell had “only” 23 points in the win, two below her NCAA-leading average, but backcourt mate Ameryst Alston had 28 points and eight assists.

“We like to get the ball up the court as fast as we can,” Alston said. “We’ve been successful that way.”

Damn it. Hell of a comeback effort. Quite frankly, UNC should have been assessed a technical foul for their players running on the court with time still on the clock but of course the shitbag refs ran right off.

McGuff has things headed in the right direction though. Can't wait to see how this team looks with a full roster next season.
