Jeff Bzdelik.<\/figcaption><\/figure>UNC didn’t really deserve to win the game at Wake Forest… but they could have. The Tar Heels fell 73-67 in the ACC season opener for both teams.<\/p>\n

You’d think that outrebounding an ACC foe by 19 would do the trick. And it would have if the Heels could have made a few shots. You aren’t going to win many games hitting 39 percent.<\/p>\n

A lot of those shots were relatively easy follow shots, tips and short jumpers. Several were open threes.<\/p>\n

As Coach Williams said, the Tar Heels couldn’t finish. But Wake could. They scored 19 points off Carolina’s 17 turnovers.<\/p>\n

“We just made effort plays,” said Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik.<\/p>\n

Ouch. They kinda says that the Tar Heels didn’t make as much effort because the favored Heels certainly have the talent to beat the Deacs.<\/p>\n

Even the UNC trapping defense was only successful a couple of times and the Tar Heels didn’t convert on the opportunities.<\/p>\n

“We knew they would trap us and we handled the trap really well,” Bzdelik said.<\/p>\n

I had thought the trap might be Carolina’s calling card this year but it takes more effort, more aggression to work.<\/p>\n
