1. Is every game going to be like this? It looks like maybe it is. As long as Carolina is winning, though--as they did on Tuesday night with a 77-73 win over Syracuse--Tar Heel fans will take it. All five ACC games have been decided by six points or fewer, and the Heels are now 3-2 and have won three in a row.
2. Carolina won that game the way they often do against Syracuse: by pounding the ball inside and recovering missed shots. The Tar Heels didn't shoot the ball well from the three-point line, but were beastly on the backboards, where they had a 48-31 margin.
