FORT WORTH—Nearly four months ago, Hubert Davis made an important declaration.
After Carolina dropped two games in Uncasville, Conn., Davis told his team, "I will never again coach a team absent of my personality."
What is that personality, exactly? That's what we've spent this season learning. But Thursday's 95-63 thrashing of Marquette in the NCAA Tournament first round is a pretty good window into what the ideal disposition might be.
Carolina shot the ball well. Caleb Love was terrific in the first half, draining six three-pointers, and Brady Manek was almost equally good in the second half, finishing with 28 points.
