As many would expect, the Tar Heels were able to easily dispatch of Johnson C. Smith this afternoon in the Dean Dome by 64 points. The Golden Bulls had some good moments against the Heels that they should take with them into regular season play, but ultimately UNC was too strong, too fast, and too good. The level of competition was also high given the fact that this was an exhibition — while this one had the usual dressings of an exhibition game, Hubert Davis coached this one like there was something more substantial on the line. The players also didn’t let up until the final seconds, so I’m glad that they took this game seriously considering the fact that they face Kansas in a little over a week, and this is the time to sharpen their blade before hopping on the plane to Lawrence.
