North Carolina’s season ended with a splat Sunday, as Texas A&M blew out the Tar Heels, 86-65, in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Those A&M letters could have stood for “Ambushed” and “Manhandled,” because that’s what the underdog Aggies did to North Carolina before what was basically a home crowd for the Tar Heels in Charlotte’s Spectrum Center.
Said UNC coach Roy Williams of Texas A&M’s inside dominance: “They blocked 70,000 shots.”
It was actually only eight, but it felt like more on a day when UNC blocked zero shots of its own and kept getting stoned inside.
