For the second straight game, UNC took its opponents style and turned it against them and as a result now sit comfortably atop the ACC.
The game against No. 7 Louisville started off with the same appeal and enjoyment of the Jennifer Garner Capital One commercials that seem to run on a constant loop. Neither team appeared comfortable with the flow of a game that was hyped as essentially a regular season title game in conference. Roy Williams expressed his displeasure with the start - plagued by bad shots and turnovers - and pulled a Dean Smith with the 5 for 5 substitution.
