Because of course they did, the bugaboos that I just wrote about not being huge issues of late for Elliot Cadeau reared their heads again in the biggest game of the season for UNC. He picked up two early, soft fouls before four minutes had elapsed in the UNC-Duke ACC Tournament semifinal, forcing him to sit extended minutes. Without him, the Heels looked lost — the couple of easy looks Cadeau had found inside dried up, and less tangibly, they didn’t have a leader on the floor to bring them back as they were missing shots on one end and giving up bucket after bucket on the other — the attitude was noted by all watching as they saw Ian Jackson and Drake Powell bend for a loose ball while Duke players were getting on the floor.
