Turner's Take: Playing North Carolina Basketball

They weren't playing North Carolina basketball. Not by a long shot. Carolina trailed Davidson 10-3 when Stilman White, Seventh Woods and Brandon Robinson joined Luke Maye and Tony Bradley on the court five minutes into Wednesday evening's contest. The Tar Heel second team would reel off 10 straight points –eight of them by Maye– to take a two-point lead.

It was an inspiring sequence, one reminiscent of the old Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge Blue Teams at Carolina. With the starters on the bench (because "We sucked," Roy Williams said), the second-teamers kept the Tar Heels in the game.
