The gauntlet has been thrown.
Or perhaps more appropriately, passed.
Theo Pinson scored just two points on Saturday night against Pittsburgh and yet had one of the most spectacular games of the season for the Tar Heels. Not with his vicious one-handed follow dunk in the second half, but with his eight assists, some of which were—he isn't going to like this—darn near Kendall Marshall-esque.
The highlight was probably the ball that he rebounded off a Cameron Johnson miss in the first half. Well, hold on. He didn't rebound it, not in the way you think of with two hands on the ball and the ball at your chin.
